President Eisenhower calls this limitation "unconsti- tutional" because it would compel the Se retary of Defense to share the responsibility for carrying out critical duties. In the President's view the bill would cause Congress over-stEP the Constitutional line between legislative and executive p owers. So, he vetoes the bill.

APPOIMTMENT The Senate confirmed the appointment of a Judge, tonight, the importance being - that it was a highly controversial appointment made by President Eisenhower. Simon Sobelotf, Federal solicitor General, made a judge in the First Circuit Court or Appeals. Southern legislators put up a bitter fight against this because it was Sobeloff who, aa solicitor General, argued the school segregation case before the Supreme Court.

I J ' FIR! - ew York City's sp ctacular fire is officially out - but the famous old Wanamaker Building is in ruins, and it will take quite a while for the city to recover from the effects. Discovered Saturday night, for thirty-three hours firemen struggled to put it out. More than three hundred men on duty - and more than two hundred treated for cuts, bruises and the effects of smoke. 'l.'Wenty went to the hospital, forty- three out on sick leave. But they finally got the blaie under control. One result - a devastating subway tie up. A whole stretch of the line - knocked out by the tire - when milltons of tons of water poured into the subway. More than half a million commuters affected - and New York City involved in another major traffic snarl. so much so that it may take a month to get the subway running again. Water six feet deep in the subw a y tonite. BOYS - In Ken ville, ova Scotia, four boys - eight to thirteen - told police today how they derailed a train, using a method they le rned over television. They say they watched one program - in which a gang of robbers knocked a train off the rails - by breaking a lock switch with a rock, aoo then throwing the switch. The four boys decided to do it. They did, on the Deminion Atlantic R r ilway - and it worked. Kin•s ort little later, a train came thundering along te011 K ntville, went through the switch, =a-~iit the tracks, and on over an embankment - where it piled up. Fortunately, no one hurt.
