Storm Follows Move
To Call Eisenhower
For ! testimony on Aid
. BY The Assoeiotsd Press

A new political storm clouded
over the Senate today after a
surprise move to bring Gen.
Eisenhower back from Europe to
testify on foreign aid.
Some Democrats and Repub-
licans alike agreed that the formal
motion by Senator McMahon,
Democrat, Of Connecticut would
put Gen. Eisenhower on a politi-
cal hot spot.
The general is a front-running
entry for the Republican presi-
dental nomination while still
serving as President Truman's or
ganizer Of European anti-Com-
munist forces. Obviously pleased
with the political uproar he
caused. Senator McMahon told a
reporter:
I acted on my own respon-
sibllity and without consulting
anybody because I think it's the
right thing to do"
Smith Sees Embarrassment
Republican Senator H. Alex
ander Smith Of New Jersey said
the proposal would be politically
embarrassing to Ike"
Chairman Connally Of the For
elgn Relations Committee, where
the Mcmahon motion is pending
angrily refused to comment.
Il have more important things
on my mind" the veteran Texan
insisted. after some explosive off,
the-record comments.
Although hearings on the new
Isl billion mutual security fund
asked by President Truman will
get under way tomorrow, a deci-
sion on Senator McMahon's re-
quest may not come until next
week.
Opposition Indicated
Committee members indicated
they would oppose it unless Gen.
Eisenhower reviSes his pre-
vious views about returning here
during the preconvention cam
Ipaigns.
The general has declared he
would not campaign for the Re-
publican nomination or leave his
NATO post although he agreed to
let his supporters enter his name
in the running.
Senator Mcmahon agreed there
would be political repercussions
to a return now by the general,
but said:
Il think the business of survival
is more important than any polit-
ical matters"

was pleased with the vote he re-
ceived in the preference contest
and considered it very satisfactory
in view of the fact he entered no
delegate candidates.
The Stassen vote, however,
might well have helped swell Gen.
Eisenhower's margin over Senator
Taft in the preference primary.
Mr.. StaSsen is against Senator
Taft and offered at one time to
give up his candidcy, if the Ohioan
would do likewise, and support
Gen. Eisenhower.
The Eisenhower victory will
lessen the cries of his supporters
that he come and campaign. He
has shown no sign of planning
an early return to this country.
Whether he will be called back to
testify before the Senate Foreign
Relation Committee. as recon-
mended. by Senator Mcmahon,
Democrat, of Connecticut remains
to be seen.
Tough Blow for Taft.
Senator Taft's defeat was a
tougher blow, because he had made
a personal campaign up and down
New Hampshire. drawing large
crowds. and gaining an impress
sion that he would do well in the
voting. He. is left now with the
need of still demonstrating he can
win in q major race outside OF
Ohio.
He is believed to be sure win
ner in Wisconsin'S primary April
/. But there he is not opposed by
Gen. Eisenhower. Mr.. Stassen
and Gov. Earl Warren of Cali
fornia will be his opponents. The
next test between Senator Taft
and Gen. Eisenhower will come
in New Jersey April Is.
The success of Senator Ke-
fauver, who campaigned through
out New Hampshire in almost
house toulouse canvass, making
friends as he went, will give the
Democratic leaders something to
think about. In the first place,
they will wonder whether it was
due to growing weakness of Presi-
dent Truman with the voters.
Senator Kefauver ran strongly in
the industrial cities of the State,
where it was expected organized
labor would rally strongly to Mr..
Truman.
The Democratic organization.

mitteeman, to whose assistance

tary of the Navy, went toward the
end of the campaign. took a bad

ton leaders in other States may
be shaken by the result in New
Hampshire
Kefauver's Chances Still Slim.
Senator Kefauver's chances for
winning the Democratic nomina-
ton still do not appear too bright.
The entry of Senator Russell of
Georgia as a candidate blocks of
many Of the Southern States, if
not all. it is said. Senator Ke-
fauver. however. may show
strength in other States where he
is now entered in primary tests.
F. e. Johnston, executive secre-
tary Of the Taft committee in New
Hampshire, conceded defeat soon
after 8 am, today. He said; New
Hampshire Republican voters have
expressed their desires in the pref
erential primary. We wish to
congratulate Gen. Eisenhower on
his victory. AS Republicans, we
shall support the nominee selected
at the Republican convention"

 In explaining their delay, Sumpner said that following their nonstop flight to the lake Friday they found themselves grounded by a snow storm that lasted all day Saturday.
 Sunday morning proved clear and when tuning up the J-3 Cub ship Sumpner noticed a drop in lthe oil pressure. Believing It was caused from cold, he withdrew the oil and heated it. Preparing for take-off. the men discovered the motor had trown a rod, re- turned to their cabin where they had spent the past two nights and decided they would just sit t out until someone appeared. Early Monday morning Chuck Sutter, from Tazaline Lodge, few over the lake but was unable to land because of climatic con ditions. However, around noon he returned and was successful in setting down. Palmer Police Chief Bouwens had notified the Alaska Patrol at Glenn Allen who in turn had called Sutter when the men had failed to return to Palmer. He flew the men to the lodge on the Glenn Highway where they got a ride into Pal mer with some fishermen who were there at the time.
 Sumpner said they will have to return to the lake, strip down the motor and have repairs made very soon in order to get the ship off the ice where it is moored, be- fore the Spring breakup.
 Earl Brown, Palmer pilot, flew to the area Monday noon before word was received that the men were safe. The Tenth Air Rescue also flew ship out Monday on the search.

 Entry was made through one of the rear fire exits after an at- tempt had been made at another exit. Discovery of the robbery Was made Monday morning by Bob Bouwens, the daytime bar tender. when he reported for duty. City Police Chief Bernie Bouwens was notified immediate ly when the discovery of the loss vas followed by that of the forced entry.
 Circumstance surrounding the robbery pointed to the thiefs knowledge of customary disposal of receipts. The absence of Bob Sumpner from Palmer on a plane hunting trip from which he was unable to return until late Mon day afternoon (see story) was a contributing factor, Sumpner is the only one of the bartenders who knows the combination of the Club 49 safe Receipts had piled up through Friday, Satur- day, and Sunday in his absence. AS customary when Sumpner was was not present to lock up,' the night bartender took all but $15 from the cash register and placed it in a certain drawer, known as the nickel drawer" :" back of the bar. The cash register was left open to prevent destruc- ton in case of robbery, The fact that nothing in the establishment was touched except the one draw CT in question and the cash regis ter is considered indicative of knowledge of the above facts.

 According to the truck driver'S ; story, he passed the accident scene about 3:25 am. Wednesday morning, March ,. He drove straight to Alpine Inn, where he sleeps while on his truck route, and went to sleep.

Over 50 Local Vets Affected by lS0
 Hours Yearly Limit on 0f-Furm Jobs

< Lra Veterans Administration regulation read at the regular on- the-farm framing class m Palmer Monday night threatened d death blow tO the VA farm training programs n this area and perhaps in the whole Territory.
 The ne@ regulations issued February 27, 1852, were confus- ing in spots and will need further clar!ficatlon according to Eugene Kirsch, on-the-f farm training in stguctor for the Palmer area However, the text of the Finer gency Interim Issue explicitly states Any employment, other than the conduct of the veterans institutional on-farm training program, which exceeds a maxi mum of l80 hours during a l2- months reporting period, or d pro rata part thereof where the reporting period encompasses less than full calendar year, Wheth- CT such employment is performed ion an occasional irregular or part-time basis, is prohibited" Even this occasional irregular. or part-time employment which does not exceed a maximum of l80 hours during a l2-months' reporting period is presumed to impede or interfere with the veterans pursuit of his farm training program, according to the issue.
 Discontinuance of veterans subsistence allowances may be re- troactive throughout the 1851 calendar year for those who were employed full-time or substanti- ally full time, as established at 250 hours of outside employment during a period of 60 consecutive days. In such cases, it is stated, subsistence allowances are dis continued effective as of the date such employment commenced. Whether or not this means that veterans who have had such em- ployment will have to reimburse the Veterans Administration for subsistence allowances received, is a question that calls for clari- fication. The same question ap- plies for any veterans whose 1851 employment exceeded 180 hours.
 In both cases the veterans may elect to terminate their employ ment and continue their on-farm course of training in conformity with the regulations. Certification of this election must be made within 30 days if subsistence al loWances are to be resumed after March 31, 1852. For those veter- ans who do not elect to terminate full time remunerative employ ment or part-time employment III excess of 180 hours over a 12- months period, subsistence al lowances will not be resumed after March 3l, 1852.
 Retroactive through 1851
 The stickler for those who have had over 180 hours of employment during 1851 is the certification form that each veteran must fill out if he is to continue in the on- farm program. He must give full information regarding all employ ment other than the operation of his farm for the past calendar year-name of employer. dates of employment, number of hours per day and week, and amount Of the earnings. By signing the form, veterans fear that the Veterans Administration might insist upon repayment of the full amount Of subsistence allowances received
