Republicans Hoping Ike
Will Attend Conference
BY PETER EDSON
\EA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON'-(VEA) - Re- I men who are themselves in the
publican conKrevsmen nat-' dark about the origin of this poll
urally don't like to criticize Pres-' —
ident Eisenhower or anything he
does, on the record, liut pri-
vately, many of them are now
saying they wish he wouldn't ro
to that Panama meeting of the
heads of the American Republics
on July 21.
The original conference, com-
memorating the 130th anniver-
sary of the first Inter-American
conference called by Simon Bol-
ivar, was set for June 24. It had
to be postponed because of the
President's illness.
But Asst. Secy, of State for
Inter-American Affairs, Henry F.
Holland and brother Milton
Eisenhower, whom the President
nad sent on a good-will misnion
around South America, felt that
the c xxi neighbor presidents
shouldn't be disappointed again.
This was largely the factor
that resulted in the decision to
postpone indefinitely President
Eisenhower's scheduled two-day
conference with Prime Minister
Nehru of India. Now it is being
argued that if at the last minute
it is decided the President can't
go to Panama, the Latinos may

than they were before.
say the sampling wasn't bl<
enough to prove a thing. As one
of them remarked, but not for
attribution, "Any time you poll
1.000 Irishmen about any subject
in the world, all you're likely to
get is a good fight."
A SEATTLE, WASH., news-
paper recently carried on its first
page the facsimile of a letter lb
the editor from the Office of the
Vice President of the United
States. It began:
"Dear Bill, *
"Enactment by Congress of the
Highway bill should bring you a
great deal or more than ordinary
satisfaction . . ."
And so fonh. The final Para-
graph read:
"My congratulations to you
and your splendid group for this
additional evidence that . . .
(your) organization is always in
the vanguard of those who seek
to improve and Letter our coun-
try.
"With all best wishes,
"Sincerely,
(Signed) "Dick Nixon
• Richard Nixon."
On the editorial page of the
same issue of the same paper
there was another letter to the
editor from Gov. Arthur B.
Langlie. It was word for word
identical with the letter from
Vice President Nixon on page
one. except for the signature.
As one Washington politician
observed, "This shows you what
can happen when somebody like
Nixon losr.s the services of a
first class, professional public re-
lations operator lik* Murray
Chotiner."

Less Men But More
Money for Defense
WASHINGTON IUJ?) — Defense
spending will rise but the number

year as a result of further U. S.

prevent war.
Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson laid down this military

Tuesday in discussing the outlook
for the fiscal 1958 defens* budget
which goes to Congress in Janu-

Although the nation will con-

the Pentagon is preparing to re-

the U. S. Air Force.

Jury Being Taken |
In Sheffield Case
Ll'BBOCK. Tex. (UP) — Ques- i
tioning of prospective jurors re-1
sumed today in the veterans land
trial of B. R. Sheffield of Brady, j
The trial got off to a slow start
Tuesday as only 11 of .'12 prospec-1
tive jurors were picked. Kxa mi na-
tion went extremely slow because
defense attorneys were careful not
to get a prospective juror who has
been prejudiced by the widespread
publicity given the veterans land
scandals.
When the 32 member panel is
completed a 12-member jury will
inate the 'inefficient' farmer and
small businessman, and to 'keep
labor in its place."
In a statement prepared for de-
livery before the Democratic plat
form committee, Keyseriing said
the administration's claims of un-
paralled prosperity are a "ridi-
culous myth."

College All-Stars
Offer Pro Defense
CHICAGO il'.P)— The Cleveland
Browns can expect a "pro" de-
fense from the college all stars in
their football game Friday night
hut it won't be the same pattern
used by the 1955 collegians who
upset the National League cham-
pions.
"Who plays, or where they play
depends a lot on what defense we
are using at the time." coach Don
Kindt, former star defensive half-
back with the Chicago Bears, said.
"We won't use the same things
Curly Lambeau added. "We'll
have some of the same stuff, but
we'll have new patterns too. We
don't expect them to use the same
things they did last year, so we're
going to be ready for whatever
they miglit throw at us."
Defensively the ail stars will
have as much size and as much
speed as the average pro team.
Both Kindt and Hunk Anderson,
the former Chicago Bears coach
in charge of the defence, were
high on their defensive backs,
Preston Carpenter, Arkansas; Art
Davis, Mississippi State, and Gaiy
