Despite the “nonpartisan’”’ label, GOP farm area leaders are count- ing heavily on the President to bolster the party’s campaign to keep control of Congress in the Nov. 2 elections. + _ Last night the President cele- brated his 64th birthday at a dinner at a downtown hotel with Mrs. Eisenhower and a small group of close friends. Birthday gifts haye poured in from all over the nation. They include two calves for his Gettys- burg farm in Pennsylvania—one a Black Angus, the other a. Here- ford; trout rods and reels; an old scotch bellows for the farm fire- place; and outdoor barbecue equipment, also for use at the farm. Aides said Eisenhower is going back to Washington more rested and relaxed than he has been in a long time. He got in a lot of golf and fishing, but the White House emphasized he did a lot of work too. It put out a tabulation stating among other things that in he eigh weeks: The President spent the great majority of all the weekday morn- ings at work in his Lowry Air Base office. He worked a couple of Sundays too, including one when the National Security Council met in Denver. He made 17 formal speeches in and out of Denver, some of them nationwide radio - television ad- dresses plugging for election of a Republican Congress. He had 225 business callers, averaging more than six a day. He acted on 513 bills passed by Congress during the last days of the session. Of the total, he ap- proved 488 and pocket-vetoed 25. He also signed 420 other official | documents. The Denver White House han- | dled about 500 incoming and 300 outgoing letters every working day, About 35 each day required the President’s personal attention. An average of 50 telegrams arrived daily and 10 were dis- patched from the chief executive's office. Telephone calls over every 24- hour. period averaged 2,400 local and 64 long-distance. The press office put out 162 pre- pared releases to newsmen and held at least two news conferences almost very day, Sundays in- cluded, A Signal Corps teletype circuit linking the Denver and ‘Washing- j|]| ton White Houses moved a total of 245,25 message words: Key West area in the near future, the submarines of captain, Lt, E.

The 258-foot Prins Willem V, car- rying a mixed cargo, plunged nose down into 80 feet of water after the collision with a Sinclair Oil Co. barge being towed by a tug. The tug was undamaged. Cmdr. Edward Clark of the Ma- rine Inspection Division headed on investigation of the crash, which occurred on a clear night. There was no immediate expla- nation of the cause. Coast Guardsmen said the ship’s starboard bow was caved in and the barge’s bow was wrecked. The Willem was outbound; the tug and barge were heading into the har- bor. 5 The crash occurred three miles offshore. A spokesman for the Oranje Line, owners of the Willem, said the ship had been placed in the merchant service in 1946, when it was raised from Rotterdam har- bor, where the Germans had scut- tled it during the war. Boatswain 3.C. Bruce Witte of Milwaukee, in charge of one of the Coast Guard crash boats, told what he saw. “The Willem’s starboard bow was caved in and she was starting to list when we got there,” he said. “The captain and one man still were aboard and we nosed up on the listing side and took them off. She was going down then and after we backed off she nosed down and under. “The barge was damaged on the side and the forward end was part- ly submerged. It was still fastened to the tug by the cable. “The crew of the*Dutch ship was in its own lifeboats, five in one and 22 in the other. We took them off and then towed the lifeboats in. It wasn’t very rough, the swells were running about six feet.” Actress Gets” Tots’ Custody SANTA MONICA, Calif. 7 — Actress Marie (The Body) McDon- ald has been awarded custody of her two children by wealthy shoe store owner Harry Karl, who will pay $500 monthly for their sup- port.

Formosa Uses Less U.S. Aid By FRED HAMPSON TAIPEH, Formosa (#—Formosa can’t be self-supporting © while maintaining a half-million-man army, but it is making progress and getting by on fewer U.S. doi- lars each year. V. S. de Beausset, project man- ager of the J. G. White Engineer- ing Corp., says economic progress in some fields has been sensational since 1949, when the Nationalists were driven from the mainland. The White firm has been here six years as constltant to Presi- dent Chiang Kai-shek’s govern- ment. Much U.S. money has been spent on White recommendations. Here are some of the things De Beausset says Formosa has ac- complished: ss Five years ago, the island spent 45 million U.S. dollars a year for cloth. Today, textile mills have been restored or improved until Formosa makes all its cloth. The only expenditure now is 17 million a year for raw cotton from abroad. Formosa’s farms are over- worked. They need heavy fertiliz- ing. Formosa spends 35. million dollars abroad for chemical ferti- lizer. By constructing chemical fertilizer plants and using local chemical deposits, De Beausset expects to see foreign ‘exchange expenditure for fertilizer drop to five million annually within two more years. U.S. experts four years ago in a survey. found that with improved methods and plant varieties, the same amount of sugar could be produced on half the land. The government accepted the recom- mendations and now Formosa is almost self-sufficient as to food. It can even export rice. Squirrels Can’t Be Called Vermin In State Of Ga. ATLANTA (®—There is nothing noxious, mischievous or disgusting about a squirrel, says the Georgia | Supreme Court. The justices ruel in effect Wed- |nesday that squirrels are not ver- min. The dictionary defines ver- min as noxious, mischievous or dis- gusting animals. Bessie W. Mercer of Savannah .{ sued the North British and Mer- cantile Insurance Co. for damages done to furniture by a squffrel. The company maintained it was Not liable because of a clause in the Policy which excluded vermin. A trial jury said squirrels were not vermin and awarded Mrs. Mercer $179.50 damages and $50 attorneys fees. The company appealed. The Su- preme Court agreed with the low- er court in its unanimous decision. NEW BOMBER WASHINGTON .— The Arr Force has ordered “‘initial Produce. tion” of its first faster-than-sound bomber—and possibly the world’s \Girst—the Convais Bag. NEWARK, N.J. (®#—Republican| senatorial nominee Clifford P. Case, after a round of conferences with top GOP officials, last night canceled his three campaign ap- pearances for the evening without an explanation. : His talks with party officials and aides, on Wednesday night and yesterday, came in the wake of a newspaper story mentioning his sister, Miss Adelaide Case. In its Thursday editions, the }no part in circulating them (re- Congress was too * Newark-Star Ledger quoted Bella V. Dodd as saying she once knew an Adelaide Case in several groups which purportedly were Commu- nist fronts. Miss Dodd was further quoted by the newspaper as saying the woman was not a Communist party member. Case was not available for com- ment on the cancellations of his three speeches. Miss Dodd, who has appeared as a government witness in various federal loyalty probes, is a former member of the National Commit- tee of the Communist party. After the newspaper story ap- peared, Miss Dodd told newsmen she did not know whether the Ade- laide Case she referred to was related to the senatorial candidate. And Case issued a brief state- ment which read in its entirety: “I have seen the story -in the Newark Star-Ledger. This is gut- ter politics at its worst. My politi- cal enemies have shown they will stop at nothing in their effort to destroy me and my family. It will be answered fully.” The New York Herald Tribune quotes what it calls a report from a ranking Republican as saying, “There is a strong possibility this is a case of mistaken identity . . .” Case’s sister Adelaide, 42, is a physical education instructor at the exclusive Kingswod School at Cranbrook, Mich., near Detroit. A school spokesman said she had left for New York. He told news- men she joined the faculty this year. She holds a bachelor of arts degree from Bucknell, he said, and later did work at Smith College and at Teachers College of Co- lumbia_ University. Miss Case could not be reached for com-| ment. The Star-Ledger is an independ- ent newspaper which supports | President Eisenhower and usually | supports Republican candidates. In its story about Adelaide Case, the newspaper referred to remarks made Wednesday by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) concerning the GOP senatorial nominee. McCarthy, at a news conference in Washington, said he was sup- porting all Republican senatorial candidates with one exception— Case. Early in the campaign, Case issued a statement saying that if elected he would vote to remove McCarthy as chairman, or as a member, of the Committee on Goy- ernment Operations. The Wisconsin senator said his reason for not supporting Case had nothing to do with the latter’s campaign statement. Rather, he said, it was because of “other reasons I think will be made pub- lie before election.” There was no indication from McCarthy as to what material he | was referring to. However, the| Star-Ledger quoted “sources close | to the Wisconsin legislator” that | part of McCarthy’s statement con- cerned reports that Miss Case “had been active in Communist- front organizations.” Case is oppsed in the Senate race by Democrat Charles R. How- ell, who issued a statement refer- ring to MeCarthy and saying “I won't tolerate any back street campaign in New Jersey.” An| aide later said the statement also | was aimed at the reports m&ntion- ing Miss Case. Howell himself de- | clared he wanted “to win on the issues.”” Case’s candidacy is opposed by Key Witness In Spy Case Ill SYDNEY, Australia () — The) royal commission investigating | Communist espionage in Australia announced today that Vladimir Pe- trov, key witness in the inquiry, is seriously ill. Petrov is the former third secre- | tary of the Soviet Embassy who obtained asylum in Australia last | spring with an offer to disclose a spy network in the country. The commission started investigating | the case last May 18. | An official statement said Pe- |trov is suffering from the after- | effects of a severe attack of pneu-| monia and strain and “will be un- | jable to give evidence for some |time.” The inquiry will continue. | MAGNANI HAS “NO ROMANCES” HOLLYWOOD (Italian act-| ress Anna Magnani, here for her first American movie, says Holly- wood can dispense with any idea of glamorizing her.
