Senate To Debate $51/2 Billion Aid Bill
The Senate called for debate today on its second major anti-recession bill, legislation providing that $5^{1 / 2}$ billion dollars be committed for federal aid highway construction this year.
Senator Albert Gore (D-Tenn), floor manager for the bill, said its approval would be a "major step toward putting America back to work."
Republican leaders are expected to discuss growing pressure within and outside of Congress for a tax cut with President Eisenhower today.
Some top government economists said today that they believe that a cut in prices would give the economy a stronger shot in the arm than a tax reduction.
In Washington, the House tackled a bill today to give the nation's servicemen a $668,379,000 pay boost.
Most privates, seamen and newly commissioned second lieutenants would get nothing. Pay rates for a few men who remain in the lower ranks would be reduced in the future.
In Chicago, Mike Todd's widow, his son and other close relatives and friends gathered today for the showman's private funeral services in a suburban cemetery.
The measure would enable some enlisted men to pocket more than $10,000 a year in pay and allowances. Pay raises range up to 53 per cent for some 4-star generals.
In accordance with the wishes of his widow, movie actress Elizabeth Taylor, the graveside was roped off to keep the press and public at a distance.
In Russia, a United Press staff correspondent said today that experts on Russian affairs are reporting that Nikolai Bulganin may be replaced as Russian premier.
The present speculation is due to the fact that Mr. Bulganin has never been called upon to pay for his big blunder last June of backing rebels who tried to overthrow Mr. Khrushchev and establish a strong "Stainist" regime.
If Mr. Bulganin is replaced, there is a possibility that he will be made president of the presidium of the Supreme Soviet.
In Amsterdam, Britain's Queen Elizabeth arrived today for a 3-day state visit which was almost ruined by an attack of influenza suffered by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.
The visit coincided with reports that Queen Juliana of the Netherlands might abdicate, but court officials said there was "no basis of truth" in the British press reports that the Queen would step down in favor of her daughter, Crown Princess Beatrix.
In Roquebrune, France, Sir Winston Churchill appeared today to have all but recovered from a return of lung trouble. His physician said that a few weeks of good weather would make him "a very well man."
Wanted To Watch
CHICAGO — Alfred E. Valentine, 28, joined a cluster of people at a liquor store that had just been robbed because, he said later, he was eager to "watch the excite-ment."
The excitement grew greater than he expected when the store owner identified him to police as the hold-up man.

Long Road Ahead?
It took 500 years for a Korean alphabet change to gain use, and this might indicate the rocky road ahead for Communist China's recent adoption of a phonetic alphabet, Young Wha Kim, Korea sophomore, said in an interview.
"I had not even seen the Korean language until then," she said. "The school children were taught only Japanese during their occupation."
YOUNG WHA KIM
Miss Kim said the Korean alphabet change, officially introduced in 1443, did not gain widespread use until the end of World War II.
Red Chinese authorities have concluded, as did a Korean king 500 years ago, that character writing retards mass education and slows modern communication. Each character must be put into code to telegraph a message.
Early Koreans had borrowed character writing from China that was difficult to learn and not suited for the dissimilar sounds of the Korean language, Miss Kim said.
"A great king, Sei-chong, decided in the 15th century to simplify the alphabet so everyone could learn to read and write," she explained.
It took Korean scholars three years to invent the new alphabet—omun—which was a hybrid of basic Chinese strokes and simplifications of Sanskrit symbols, she said.
"This reduced the thousands of characters from the old language to 24 simple letters."
The change was not accepted by the upper classes in Korea so onum was kept alive by use in stories and songs of the middle class, and since 1945 the alphabet has been taught in schools.
"One of our national celebrations, 'Han Kul Nal,' is in honor of the invention of onmun." Miss Kim said. "Everyone puts a flag in front of his house and speeches are made praising the king who developed the language."
