Eisenhower Invites
10 House Democrats
To Attend Lunch
By Joseph A. Fox

The Democrats in Congress
have made the grade socially at
the White House.
President Eisenhower today
invited 10 House members from
the minority side to a / O'Clock
lunch with 10 of their COP
associates. White House Press
Secretary James c. Hagerty says
he expects all the Democrats,
from both Senate and House
eventually to be asked in for the
lunches that Gen. Eisenhower
has inaugurated as a good will
gesture toward Capitol Hill.
House Speaker Martin. Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts,. has ap-
proved the idea-and may have
suggested it, as a matter Of fact,
Mr. Hagerty said. At the outset.
the President intended only to
meet with Congressional Repub-
licans. and the three lunches so
far held have been limited to
Senators and Representatives of
that political faith.
A lunch for the Supreme
Court, which was worked into
the Congressional schedule a
few days ago. brought in eight
Democrats and a lone Repub-
lican.

Gen. Eisenhower's get-together

The Army today authorized a
Service-wide test of sugar sub
stance called "dextran" as a sub
stitute for blood plasma, but
urged that public blood dona-
tons continue undiminished.
Col. John r. Wood, Army chief
medical researcher, told the AS
ISOLATED Press the tests author
lied by the surgeon general will
be carried out in the Far East,
Europe and the United States. Z
The idea is to see if dextran is
safer than blood plasma in treat
ing shock resulting from war
wounds, burns or injury and in
aiding patients undergoing sur
gical operations.
These are principal uses Of
blood plasma which, however
sometimes can cause a liver dis
ease known as serum hepatatis.'
Dextran, Army doctors said, is
free from that hazard and costs
$3.50 a pint compared with $21
for blood plaSma.

Millions Of Sandbaqs
Will Go 10 Britain
BY the Asseelaisd Press


The White House announced
yesterday that millions Of sand
bags will be flown and shipped
to Britain for possible food pre-
vention use - many of them
within the next 48 hours.
The action was ordered by
President Eisenhower's cabinet
committee on European flood re-
lief in the expectation that a new
spring tide beginning Monday
might create further emergencies
in the flood-ravaged lowlands of
Western Europe.
A report submitted by Secre-
tary Of State Dulles, chairman
OF the special committee, said
In part:
There will be q new spring
tide beginning on February Is,
and this may create further
emergencies. United States forces
and those Of other NATO coun-
tries on the spot are alerted to
help deal with them if they
arise.
Yesterday, the British gov
eminent asked the United States
to deliver a large number Of
empty sandbags by this Satur-
day, February IA, if at all posi-
BILE. These are to go forward
promptly by air and by sea-"
Meanwhile, a bill to admit U.s.
900 victims of the Netherlands
flood to the United States for
citizenship was introduced in the
House by Representative Walter,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Walter said it would be

An American sea blockade or
an embargo against Communist
China would stop q trickle Of
trade. But the United States and
its friends must decide whether
the amount Of trade involved is
important enough to justify the
risks and troubles that would
come along with either plan.
No matter what the United
States does, 1t cannot stop So
Wet war supplies from reaching
China. Russia sends most Of
these goods by rail. Provost
ern and neutral nations send
their goods by ship to China,
or by ship to Hong Kong and
then overland to China.
Countries selling to China dis
count the trades importance to
the Red war effort. But at least
one serious leak exists:
CeyIon. an Independent ma
ton but . member Of the Brit

Chinese SIS million worth OF
rubber last year. Tentative plans
call for Ceylon to swap $34

.3-SioyP Parking Area
Urged on Capitol Hill

Representative Rhodes, Demo-
crat. Of Pennsylvania yesterday
proposed building q three-story
structure on the present House
parking lot at Delaware avenue
and South Capitol street to re-
lieve congested automobile park
ing and traffic.
The structure would triple the
present parking capacity there
and would cost less than buying
more land, he said. It also would
be more convenient for House
members.
Representative Schenck, Re-
publican. Of Ohio. told the House
his three-man subcommittee is
making q study Of the "increas-
ingly acute parking problem on
Capitol HILL"
Mr.. Schenck said there are
more than 1900 requests for
parking space. with only 500
spaces available.
Several possibilities are being
considered, Mr.. Schenck said.
Among them Is q proposal to
convert slum areas near the
Capitol into parking lots for
both public and members Of
Congress.
