LONDON, June 23.-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden today
suggested Southeast Asian de-
fense system that would include
non-aggression pacts with the
Communists.
Just back from the Geneva
conference, Mr.. Eden told the
House of Commons:
II hope it will be possible to
agree to some system of South
east Asian defense to guard
against aggression.
81 hope we could have a recip-
rocal arrangement for both sides
to take part, such as Locarno,
and we could have a defensive
alliance with NATO as in
Europe"
Locarno was a series of five
treaties negotiated in the Swiss
city of that name in October
1925 between Germany on the
one hand and France, Britain,
Italy and Poland on the other.
The aim was to guarantee con-
tinuation of peace and existing
territorial boundaries. It proved
effective until the rise Of Hitler.
Mr.. Eden spoke in a voice
charged with emotion and some
members took his remarks as
critical of United States Secre-
tary of State Dulles as he de-
clared:
MY belief is that, by refrain
ing from any precipitous move
toward the formation of a NATO
system in Southeast Asia, we
have helped to create the neces-
sary conditions in which both
systems can properly be brought
into being"

e. Merl Young, 80, who gained
rational attention during the
mink coat" Investigations under
President Truman's administra-
ton, began serving a sentence for
perjury yesterday in the Federal
correctional institution here.
The former Reconstruction
Finance Corp. official was
charged with lying to Senators
who investigated his mink coat
buying and high financing. He
is under an indeterminate sem
tence of four months two years.
The Judge recommended that he
be released after four months,

Fla, but were heavily in debt"
While Young was a $7.500-a-
year Ofnclal WIN the RFC MS
wife Lauretta was a Stenogra-
pher on President Truman's
White House staff. He left the
RFC to take a high-salaried po-
sition as Washington representa-
tive of several firms.
In 1851 the Senate began an
inquiry into whether Young and
others had exerted improper in
huence to get the RFC to make
loans.
A $9,450 pastel mink coat, the
Senators learned. had been re-
ceived by Mrs. Young and had
been paid for originally by a
Washington attorney who repre-
sented RFC loan seekers. Young
said he had repaid the attorney.

Eisenhower Stresses
Red Peril in Asia in
Plea for Foreign Aid
Message to Congress
Agrees to Loon Plan;
Coils Cuts 'Unsufe'

President Eisenhower warned
Congress today that American
interests are clearly endan-
gered" in Southeast Asia, threat
ened by the Communist drive in
Indo-C China.
He emphasized the peril in
that part of the world in a
special message asserting that
any cuts in the administrations
$3.5 billion foreign aid program
would be unsafe"
The Presidents message went
to Capitol Hill as the House
Foreign Affairs Committee pre-
pared to vote on a bill author
izing continuance of the mutual
security program during the IL
months beginning July /.
The message revealed agree
ment in principle with a move
in the House group to stipulate
that some of the foreign aid
funds be loans rather than
grants. The President suggested
that not less than $100 million
of the requested $3.5 billion
mutual security funds for the
1855 fiscal year be reserved for
loans.
Cites Military Nature.
Emphasizing the military
nature of most of the planned
foreign aid programs, the Presi-
dent said economic grants and
technical cooperation assistance
also must be continued in some
strategic parts of the world.
He described the entire mu-
tual security program as part
of American policy to build de-
fenses with Our allies rather than
go it alone" because this course
is more effective and less costly.
Declaring that "above all else
Communist strategy seeks to
divide, to isolate, to weaken" he
said the mutual security program
lis an important means by which
to counter this strategy"
"It helps u.s." he added, ito
bolster strength in remote areas
which are nevertheless vital to
our own security. 1t meets the
Communist menace at the front
line with practical and effective
measures"
The President noted that "re-
cent events in Southeast Asia
have created grave uncertainty.
He added:

Asks Delay, Warns
Of Legal Action
By james 6. Deone

School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing this afternoon recommended
dropping race restrictions in
September for all children enter
ing District public schools for
the first time.
DR.. Corning also:
/. Proposed allowing 96 colored
children living in predominately
white neighborhoods to enter
nearby white schools in Septem-
ber. Eighteen white schools
would be affected.
2. Proposed converting Cardozo
High School in September. 1865.
to a merged teachers college. A
practice junior high unit also
would be established in the Car
doza building IN connection with
the college.
5. Proposed integrating all
evening schools next September.
4. Said he will recommend
seeking money next year to con-
vert Mckinley High School to a
combined technical high school
for both white and colored stu
dents. Mckinley next fall will get
about 460 colored pupils in ad-
vance Of the conversion.
Presented to the Board.
DR.. Corning outlined these
recommendations in a detailed
integration timetable presented
to the board
The proposals came as the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS threatened the School
Board with legal action to stop
it from going ahead with pre-
cipitouS" and disastrous" plans
to end segregation in the schools.
The warning was issued in Q
telegram signed by Mrs. Henry
A. Bartlett. newly elected presi.
dent of the organization. It was
approved yesterday by the Fed
eration'S Executive Board and
demanded the School Board post
pone action until the high court
makes a ruling sometime next
year on how to accomplish deseg-
regation.
Already planned is the trans
fer of about 2,700 children from
crowded colored schools to white
schools in September. DR.. Cor
ning'S proposals today would
enable probably several thou
sand additional colored children
to enroll in white schools next
fall.
The superintendent said a new
system of school boundaries will
be completed next week. These
new boundaries will take effect
next fall for pupils new to the
school system. This affects main
ly kindergartners and first grad
ers. 1t means that colored pupils
not previously enrolled in any
Washington public school can
enter any white school next fall
if they live in that schools zone.
It also means that white chill
dren who live in an area served
by a school now colored may be
entering colored schools in the
fall.
Next February. the Superin-
tendent said. he proposes to drop
race restrictions in the senior
high schools. February junior
high graduates under his plan
will enter senior highs without
regard to race.

high mark set in 1947's diSas-
trous flood.
OfhcialS said the total in
cluded hundreds of families who
voluntarily left their homes yes
terday and last night.
About IL square blocks which
were without adequate dixie pro-
lection in the city's southeast
bottoms already were flooded.
Elsewhere, the levees still were
holding but were under great
pressure. All threatened areas
had been cleared of people ex-
cept for workers and those still
moving out their possessions.
Crest Due Tomorrow. ).
The raging river: was more
than 4. feet above the 23-foot
flood stage and nearly a foot
above the 1947 high. 1t still
was rising with a crest of 20 to
80 feet due by tomorrow.
The emergency excavations
began during the night. Police
knocked on doors to awaken
residents in seriously imperiled
area.
Volunteer workers and National
Guardsmen were doing levee
work around the clock and emer-
gency calls were out for more
workers.
City officials were pesSimistic
over whether all the teveeS would
hold. They were designed to
withstand a 28-foot crest. Sand
bags were being hastily en-
placed against the anticipated
20 to 30-foot peak.
If the levees give way a fifth
of the city will be flooded.
Highway Bridge Closed.
Other excavations were occur
ring throughout the length of
the city'S course. One evacua-
ton center was nearly filled and
two others were being readied.
At the north of the city, where
the river enters DeS MoineS, flood
waters closed the Euclid avenue
bridge which carries ,transconti-
mental United States Highway 6
traffic through Des Moines. De-
tours were available. Some 40
miles northwest of DeS Moines,
Highway 80 was closed west of
Boone and traffic was peing re-
routed.
In Des Moines, city officials
said they believed Sandbagging
could keep the levees from being
topped. But they were doubtful
whether they could stand the
continued pounding of the angry
waters.
