It passed the Senate today by an overwhelming majority - seventy-two to eighteen. The President is almost sure to sign this measure - because he 1 a already called it "acceptable". He gives it top priority in this country's fight -to atop the economic offensive launched bJ thl Soviet Union in under-developed areas. Thia bill extends the Reciprocal Trade Act tor anothe• tour years - the longest extension in the history or tfie program. The ■oat important provision - i.llowa the Pre11clant to cut tariffs on foreign goods - by aa 11Uch u twentJ per cent. A Ho~se ub-committee accuses the administration - of holding up our military research. This report is approved by the House Government Operations Committee - and claims that President Eisenhower has let us fall behind Iii in the compet1t1 with Russia.• The main accusation in this indictment - penn, pinching and red tape. That•• a majority report - reflecting the opinion ot the Democratic members of the Sub-committee. The Republioana have filed a minoritJ report or their 011n - calling the accusations "Democratic propaganda." ClVIL SERVICE President Eiaenhower•s choice to fill a vacancy on the Civil Service~omission - is Mrs. Barbara Gunderson. She 1 a the Republican National Coaaitteewoman from South Dakota - and wu a prominent meaber of the "Citizens for Eisenhower" in both Nineteen Pifty-Two and Nineteen Pitty-S1x. She aaya atie 1 11 give up her OOP poat - it the Senate confirms her nomination. On Capitol Hill, no one aeema to doubt that she'll get the Job. - created by the resignation or Bemard Planagan laat Januar,. CRASH That train crash outside Sloatsburg, New Y o rk - was caused by a signal mix-up. The authorities call it - "man failure"; Nothing wrong with the train.9- it•a Just that they didn't get the right signal. A passenger train was traveling at fifty miles an hour - from Port Jervis to Hoboken. A mail train, moving in the opposite direction . - toward Port Jervis. The schedule called tor the mail train to atop at surrem - 10 that the puaenger train on the - track - could switch over to anothi11 track. But the mail train never got the a1gnal. Illltead ot stopping at Suffern - it kept going. At juat about aeven A.N., it rounded a curve 1n a fog - in a hilly section or the Ramapo Nountaina. SuddenlJ the passenger train roared in out or the fog - and the two trains crashed head-on, before either engineer could do anything about it. The impact forced the cars to telescope - into a mass of twisted wreckage. Rescuers worked for almost an hour - cRASH - 2 before they could get everybody out. The toll - five dead, thirty-five injured. BLIMP The Navy blimp that flew north of the Arctic Circle - 1s on its way home. It was sent to drop supplies to a scientific team on an ice island - within five hundred miles ot the Horth Pole. No aircraft of the type had ever gone that tar north. But this one made it all right - reaching the island, dropping supplies, then hovering for about an hour - and talk1111 with the scientists on the ice island. It could have gone on over the Pole - but that •aan•t part or its miaaion. So tonip the Navy bliap 11 flying tack south of the Arctic Circle - bringing with it another record in ~xplotation, Tonight's re p ort from Lowell - concerns an unusual p ersonality. Somebody from Alaska, maybe? Or some other d istant part of the globe? Not at all. This story coaea from a p lace Lowell knows well - because he h•pena to live there. ln my l a st l said 1 ha d somethin g to tell you that you will find hard to believe. H ere i t is:- Just before 1 left home, one of my neighbors, a doctor, told me about an o p eration he had just perlor ■ ed. In fact h• said he was writing an account that is to be published in The A i •rican Medical -'ournal - or ia there a Jo•rnal juat on surgery? A woman in our neighborhood had accute indigestioa. And no wonder. When X-rayed there appeared to be soae objects in her atoaach, that - oh - well, Dr. Lewie Saiken operated and removed 393 eicea of aetal, and beads and 11•••• lnc!udlng bobby pine, nuta and bolta, a rtligiou1 aedallion and chain - and - 78 1poon1! Judging by the s p oons they figured ahe had been doing this for maybe 20 years. Why? A p erfor•r, like a sword awollower? Ho. lntention suicide? Apparently not. Just a atrange 111111 M.:.I~ - 2 ll.!li.!l quirk - her Ulll iet. To me the strangest art of all is that in 20 years she had not had a day's illness - until the effect of those 393 metRl objects in her tummy finally got her down. lf thia proves anything 1 sup ose it proves that the human s~•tem can sure stand a lot! ln twenty years with those seventy-eight spoon• in her atomach she had never even complained of nausea. ~h• didn't include razor blade• in her atrang• diet. Three •••k• after the operation •h• ••• feeling fine. Sa7a the doctor, ah•'• robably at it again. Ono• you start swallowing spoons, religioua medals and aetal chains, people who have this habit find it as difficult to give it up as a chain smoker find~ it hard to give up coffin nails. Seldom does a true story stranger than tbia co ■• ower our press wires. er acquaintances c a ll her - rs. i uts and Bolts! I'm setting forth toni ht on another trip around the worl~ Ja p an, lndo China, lndia, Arabia, equatorial Africa nnd the ountains of the Moon. The kind of travelin g l do involves a complete change of diet every tew days. A gastronomical ex ~ erience that so ■e find a1tticult. ~,fore l get back l may think often of Dr. ~aiken•s patient who ate anything that ca111 her way, and for twenty y.eara never bad a stomachache! My next atop will be Hawaii. No food proble ■ s there! So long. HUNT Today's communique from Exmoor, England - describes a stalemate in the big battle of the Devon anci Somerset Stag Hounds versus the League Against Cruel Sports. The hunters were out again this morning - looking for deer. Again the agents of the League Against Cruel Sports - spread chemicals all over the place, to throw the hounds otf the acent. And for the second straight time - no deer were bagged. It sounds as if the League is winning the Battle ot Exmoor. But the hunters still claim - there•s nothing unusual about their failure. It's all the luck of the chaaeyAt least that•s what they're · saying tor publication. What they aay t~n• another at the clubhouse bar • ' is a secret of the Devon and Somerset Stag Hounds.
