There is no easy solution or
single formula to meet the COM
mon financing difficulties of
higher education, according to an
opinion presented yesterday to
the 38th annual conference of
the American Alumni Associa-
ton.
Speaking at the opening ses-
sion at the Shoreham Hotel was
John D. Millett, president of Mi
ami University. Oxford. Ohio. =
He summarized the findings of
a three-year study by a commits
sion on financing higher educa-
ton financed by the Carnegie
Corp. and the Rockefeller Foun-
dation. DR.. NIillett served as
executive director and author of
the staff reports published at the
conclusion of the survey.
He expressed the view that the
pay-as-you-go plan which would
cause universities to charge stu
dent fees sufficient to meet their
costs was not acceptable, nor
was the idea that higher educa-
ton is merely an extension of
secondary education.

Crash Off Cape Henry
Kills ; Of Il Flyers;
40thers Feared Dead
BY the Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, July 1.-THE
Navy all but gave up hope today
for four airmen missing in the
crash of a patrol bomber of
Cape Henry-a crash which al
ready was known to have taken
three lives.
OF the II crewmen aboard the
plane, a P5M which had been
on an anti-submarine training
fight out of the Norfolk Naval
Air Station, four were rescued
by the destroyer McNair. They
had been lucky enough to climb
aboard life raft dropped by
another patrol bomber flying
with the doomed plane.
The survivors said they were
certain the four missing airmen
went down with the plane fol-
lowing the crash Is miles east
of Cape Henry in the Atlantic
yesterday afternoon. The Navy
called off its air search perma-
nently last night but service ves-
sells continued to pillow through
the scattered debris in hope of
finding the missing men.
The planes assistant naviga-
tor, Ensign T. N. TileSton of Mid
dletown, KY, one Of those picked
up by the McNair, said the plane
came down in the sea after one
engine went dead.

said, "she broke in two almost at
once forward of amidships. I
saw the hole where she broke and

Ensign TileSton said the ship
broke into flames "instantane-

The Navy is expected to con-
vene an Aircraft Accident Board
today to investigate the accident.

Rain Halls Tiny Plane S
fIiqht Across Atlantic
BY the Assoeioted Presa

LONDON, July 14.-Peter
Gluckmann, 27-year-old San
Francisco matchmaker had a
tough time yesterday on the
first leg of his return flight
across the Atlantic in a tiny
plane.
Mr.. Gluckmann left London
and soon ran into rain squalls.
He landed at Prestwick Airport
in Scotland where he planned to
spend the night and sit out the
weather.
MI. Gluckmann hopes to re-
peat-in reverse-his feat of last
month when he flew from San
Francisco to London. He
touched down numerous times,
but altogether spent 80 hours in
the air.
One reason for his trip was to
see his mother, who lives in
London.
Mr.. Gluckmann's 90-horse-
power plane which he calls "Old
Faithful" is less than 6 feet high
and has a 35-foot wing spread.

Foreign Aid Bill Goes
To White House After
Speedy Approval
By ]. A. OIeory

The $5.1 billion foreign aid
authorization bill is on it's way
to the White House for sigma
ture today following quick House
and Senate approval of the final
conference agreement yesterday
The House approved the
agreement 221 to 109. The SEN
ate acted without a roll-call vote
The authorization bill provides
merely a ceiling figure, however,
which the appropriations COM
mittees are not bound to allow in
full. There are strong indica-
tionS that when the follow-up
money bill goes through later
this month it may be from $500
million to 81 billion under the
authorized ceiling.
Gen. Gruenther Reports.
Chairman Bridges of the SEN
ate Appropriations Committee,
who will have much to say about
the amount appropriated, had
breakfast at the White House
this morning with President
Eisenhower and Gen. Alfred M,
Gruenther, the new commander
of NATO, who returned from
France last night to testify on
the foreign aid money bill to-
morrow.
It was learned that the amount
to be appropriated was not dis
cussed today, the time being
taken up with a f1rst-hand report
by Gen. Gruenther. The Presi-
dent plans to have the entiee
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee for lunch tomorrow after
Gen. Gruenther has testified in
closed session.
The first step in any cutting
Of the money bill will come, how
ever, in the House Appropria-
lions Committee, headed by Rep
resentative Taber. Republican, of
New York. Mr.. Taber avoided
any prediction on the money bill,
except to say he hopes savings
can be made on foreign aid.
In Cutting Mood.
Senator Bridges said he as
sumed the President would ask
for the full $5.1 billion author
lied, but added "the temper of
this Congress is to cut the
funds"
Although the authorization bill
fixes June, 1854, as termination
date for the program, it allows
three additional years for the
delivery of military equipment
already contracted for. Repre-
sentative Vorys. Republican, of
Ohio. explained to the House
that an early termination date
was agreed upon, not because
the conferees thought that all
forms of assistance would finally
end on that date. but because
the conferees felt that the next
session of Congress should over
haul all of the laws and policies
affecting foreign aid. When that
is done at the 1854 session, a new
termination date undoubtedly
will be adopted.
There are two new features in
the authorization bill given final
approval yesterday.
One is intended to encourage
six nations of Western Europe

list prepared by Police Chief o.

to ratify the treaty calling for a
unified army, including troops
from Western Germany. The
amendment earmarks about 81
billion of the European aid for
use by this army, but does not
prevent the Mutual Security
Agency from making contracts
for that amount of equipment
while waiting for the treaty to
be acted on. If the treaty fails.
Congress would decide later what
use to make of the equipment.
The second new feature per-
mits use of not less than 500
million nor more than $3.50 mil
lion of the foreign aid money for
the sale of agricultural SURPRISES
abroad. The foreign currencies
obtained in return would be used
to order military equipment in
the cooperating countries.

Career Man Named
To Reclamation Post
As Texan Withdraws

The Interior Department, with
out a reclamation commissioner
for more than four months
chiefly because of a Cuban nickel
operation-acquired a new one
In about Is minutes yesterday.
Wilbur A. Dexheimer, a ST.
year-old career employe from
the Reclamation Bureaus Den
yer Office, was sworn into Office
less than a quarter of an hour
after the White House announced
his appointment.
The announcement followed by
five minutes the Interior De-
partment's disclosure that the
candidacy of Marvin C. Nichols
of Fort Worth had been with
drawn.
Fears Embarrassment.
Mr.. Nichols, in a letter of with
drawal. referred to White House
criticism of the operation of the
aforementioned nickel plant
at Nicaro, Cuba, with which he
was associated for two years.
THE White House staff indi-
Gates that my service at Nicaro,
although the services themselves
were of a high order, having
been rendered under a previous
administration might at some
later date be embarrassing to the
present administration should I
be appointed" Mr.. Nichols said.
Il can appreciate this point
of view, although I do not agree
with it,"
Asked about the speed of Mr..
DeXheimer's induction, depart
ment spokesman said the new
commissioner was eager to get
some work done before hurrying
off to Denver to confer with
Secretary Of the Interior Mckay
tomorrow.
The spokesman said Mr.. Nc
Kay did not know Mr.. Dexheimer
personally.
Nickel Operation Is Issue.
The department has been

Mr.. Mckay recommended April
% that Mr.. Nichols be appointed
to the post. The proposal initially
was favorably received, for Mr..
Nichols was an Eisenhower

appointed by Jess Larson, former
General Services Administrator,
to work out plans for reopening
the plant.

former editor of Fortune maya
