CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa Up -
Former President Hoover says he
will be "glad to help in any way
l can" in Republican political
campaigning between now and the
November elections.
He was completing a round of
visits in his native Iowa today.
They began yesterday in his
birthplace at the nearby village of
West Branch, where more than
10000 people gathered to honor
him on his SOth birthday. After
the birthday party" he flew TO
Mason City and was scheduled TO
dedicate a school there and an
other in Cedar Rapids before fly
ing to New York this afternoon.
The nature of his speech at West
Branch aroused considerable spe-
culation as to whether it was an
opening gun in the COP political
cannonading. He blasted the DEM
ocrats for presidential misuse Of
power" in both domestic and for
eign policies during the 20 years
they were in office.

said, 'but I'll be glad to help in

Hoover's appearance, on his 80th
birthday, deeply surprised people
who had not seen him in some
years. He was full of vigOr. He
marched through warm sun, de-
livered a lengthy speech without
a falter, rode dusty miles to dedi-
cate schools in Iowa City and
West Branch - and was still in
a joking mood at the end of
long day.
"Some people have to endow a
school to have it named after

The force with which he attacked
the actions of the Democrats, and

that he is still capable of taking

Attempt Herr
Medical Technician \ J
Turns On Gas After =,
Sodium Cyanide Fails

A 27-year-old medical
technician failed Tuesday
in his second attempt at
suicide in two days.
The man, A. William Rogers, of
the Coral Hotel, Simonton Street,
is in good condition today in the
Naval Hospital after he was found
unconscious in his room by friend
shortly after s o'clock Tuesday
evening.
He had opened up all the gas
jets and stuffed a blanket in the
window.
Monday, Rogers had attempted
to take his life by swallowing
sodium cyanide, but was unsuc-
cesSful. He had been treated at
the Naval Hospital and released
yesterday afternoon.
Dinner Invitation
A fellow worker at Monroe Cen
eral Hospital had invited Rogers
to his home for dinner last night.
When he failed to appear at the
appointed time, the friend went to
Rogers hotel. AS he approached
the room, he smelled gas fumes.
Rogers was found by the friend
and the hotel manager lying on
two chairs with his head near the
gas jets on a stove. The blanket
was stuffed in the window.
The fire department inhalator
was called to the scene and Rogers
was rushed to the Naval Hospital.
He is recovering nicely.
Naval Hospital officials said to-
day that Rogers parents had ar
rived from Cleveland, Tennessee,
and that arrangements are being
made for treatment in a veterans
hospital near there.
Friends have been unable to ad-
vance a motive for Rogers actions.
He is said to be a good workman
by his employers and was called
cheerful and well adjusted by his
friends.

SAIGON Up - The fifth and final
eease-fire in Indochina took effect
today, officially ending the worlds
last active war. But the peace
stirred no fanfare in this capital
city of South Wet Nam.
Commanders of the French Un-
ion troops and the Communicated
Vietminh ordered their opposing
forces to lay down their arms in
South Wet Nam at s am.
The order was mostly 4 fCrmah-
ty. Fighting had tapered off since
the cease-fire became effective
two weeks ago in North Wet Nam.
The Geneva agreement to end
the eight-year-old war called for
truceS in five stages to enable the
Vietminh to get word to their scat
tered guerrillaS.

fire July q, the armiStice reached

came effective in the kingdoms of

Today in this city of two million

police and military stood at the
alert to counter expected Vietminh
demonstrations. Armed with TOM
my guns, they kept watchful eye
on pedestrians and motor traffic.
low.
Otherwise, the day seemed like
any other. It was no holiday and
there were no outward signs of
either rejoicing or sadness.
The final truce today in South
Wet Nam marked one of the few
periods when the world has been
free from full-Scale war since Dec.
8, 1884, when MusSolini's Italian
troops clashed with Ethiopian SOL
diers on the frontier of disputed
Somahland.
Under the Geneva agreement,
Vietminh bands operating in the
south are to withdraw into Speci-
fled pockets and then be evacuated
to the north. The French, mean

New County Bud get
Sets Tax Increase

Here is a break down of the mill
age in the new budget:
General revenue fund: S mills.
Fine and Forfeiture fund: 2.7
mills.
Bathing Beach bonds: a mill.
Building certificate 8 mill.
Hospital: 2 mills.
Mosquito control: l mill.
Health center: a mill.
Budget Totaled
Those figures total 1928 mills.
Add the schools 14.5 mills and you
have the new millage: 26.8 or q
budget of 81, ,254, ,225. .19.
Earl Adams, county clerk, orr
ginally set up tentative new bud
get that called for the same mill
age as last year - "a mills.
The county commissioners upped
this to 27.1 mills. This budget was
discussed last week by the COM
missioners az their regular meet
ing.
Last night the commissioners
knocked 3 mill off the 27.1 mill
budget to make the millage they
adopted - 1858.
The 8 mill saving was effected
in the fine and forfeiture fund -
by cutting that millage from 3
mills to 81 mills.
There was little discussion of the
new budget last night before It
was adopted unanimously.
Seen As Temporary
Commissioner Joe Allen spoke
briefly, saying the increased mill
age was temporary measure"
and that he hoped to see it re-
duced next year.
Construction of a wing on the
hospital for Negro patients is a
necessity, he said, and improve
ments are needed along the Keys.
All these things cost money, he
pointed out, and added that they
should have been done last year.
81 hope the people will go along
with u.s." he concluded.
In contrast to last weeks meet
ing which heard arguments for and
against an increased budget by sew
eral taxpayers, not a single per-
son spoke from the floor on the
budget.
