To Eisenhower With
Any Congress Upset
BY the Assoeiaied Press

DULUTH, MINI. Sept. 23.-
Loss Of Republican control Of
Congress would be "a body blow
to the Eisenhower program that
Shuns both the far left and the
far right" Vice President Nixon
asserted here last night. !.
The Vice President made an
appeal to continue down the
"high middle road" in an adj
dress In the auditorium of Dem
field High School.
IF the Truman-ADA-Steven-
son wing Of the Democrat Party
captures the 84th Congress" Mr..
Nixon said. ''you can be as sure
Of one thing as death and taxes:
1.-THE United States will swing
back down the leftward road
toward socialism. toward more
big Government that robs States
of their historic freedoms. toward
ever mounting taxes, toward
more of the crisis-to-crisis man
euvering that once kept our farm
and industrial economy on q
perpetual hot seat"
Calls for Firm Foundation.
Mr.. Nixon said that without
working majority in Congress
next year. "our dynamic and
progressive program would be
stopped at midmark-stopped
cold. fiat and with malice afore-
thought by men whose only ap-
parent interest is to get back
into power.
You know who they are: The
Democrat opposition that killed
equitable revision of the Taft
Hartley act, that killed Hawaiian
statehood, that killed the 49,
year-old vote, that tried to kill
the tax-reduction and revision
program. that sought to kill our
peacetime atomic energy pro-
gram by f1libuster."
MIR. Nixon said 1--WE have end
ed the 20-year invasion of bust
ness and labor affairs by big
government in the name of
prosperity We are building a
firm foundation. We must be
given the opportunity to con-

Asahi Says Russians
Tested H-Bomb on
Island Near Alaska
By the Associated Press

TOKYO. Sept. 23.-The news
paper Asahi today said japanese
scientists have almost conclu-
sive evidence" that the Russians
recently exploded an H-bomb on
an island 500 miles northwest OF
Nome. Alaska.
The paper quoted japanese
researchers at the Tokyo mete-
orlogical laboratory as estimat-
ing the explosion took place In
late August or early September
on Wrangel Island. The island
lies within the Arctic circle due
west of Point Barrow, Alaska.
Soviet Russia announced last
Friday it had exploded an
atomic weapon" to study the
battle effect. The brief Moscow
announcement said the explosion
took place 'in the Soviet Union
during recent days."
Will Submit Finding.
Asahi said DR.. Yasuo Miyake
of the meteorological laboratory
would submit the finding at q
weather specialists meeting here
tomorrow.
The paper said the japanese
meteorologists based their con-
clusion on these recent japanese
weather phenomena:
l. Radio states objection 10
Gators in Tokyo recorded i'm
pulses similar to those recorded
when the Bikini H-bombs went
of. The equipment recorded the
impulses coming from a north
northwest direction at the end of
August.
3. Four hours after these
states impulses, abnormal at
mospheric pressure (Wave)
caused by a great explosion was
registered on a manometer (air
pressure gauge. AS explosion
propelled atmospheric wav es
travel about 1000 feet a second,
the explosion was estimated $500
miles away from Tokyo. This
data placed the explosion on the

3. Radioactive rainfall has
showered northern Japan almost
daily since Saturday. It was
borne by air currents originating
on the Siberian mainland. The
shot rain" gave off Geiger
counts of 1000 to as high as
10000 or about what the "Bikini
rains" gave off in Japan. Ordi-
nary rain gives off not more
than so.
4. Intelligence reports have
indicated the Russians have
been using Wrangel Island as a
base for guided missiles and
other military tests.
Asahi. which was the only
paper to carry the report today
of the Russian test, made this
assertion:

proves correct Japan faces the
grave danger of being sand

Warn Against
New Incidents
No Certainty Felt
As To Avoidance
OF Further Trouble
By JOHN M. HIcHToWER

WASHINGTON N - The United
States sought today by strong
words and tough action to warn
Communist China against the
dangers of any more plane,shoot-
ing incidents along the Red coast
Of Asia.
But US. officials were by no
means certain that such outbreaks
could be prevented in the future.
In fact, the existence of open con-
flict between Communist China
and the Chinese Nationalist gov
eminent on Formosa is regarded
as carrying a grave risk of more
such affairs.
The State Department an
nounced yesterday the dispatch Of
twin protests to the Red regime
at Peiping, relayed through the
British diplomatic representative
there.
Search Still On
At the same time officials said
that search and rescue operations
by American carrier-based air
craft will continue as long as there
is any hope of finding survivors
or wreckage Of the British plane
shot down off Hainan Island last
Friday with apparent loss Of 10
lives.

Two Minor
Violations OF
Truce Revealed

HANOI, Indochina R - The
French command said today that
only two minor military incidents
had been reported in North Wet
Nam since the cease-fire took eff
feet here yesterday morning.
Other reports of truce violations
were incorrect, a French Spokes-
man said.
He listed these two incidents,
both at the French post of Chi
Diem, 81 miles northeast of Hanoi:
Three rifle shots were fired at
French ambulance helicopter as
it came in for a landing at Chi
Diem. Fifty minutes later a single
mortar shell hit the landing strip.
Previous reports that the Wet
mimi had continued attacking the
Chi Diem post for several hours
after the cease-fire were exagger-
ated, the spokesman said.
He added that a Vietminh am
bush of a road-opening patrol, re-
ported previously as occurring aft
er the truce hour, actually had
taken place before.
Political Feudina
But on the political front the
cease-fire was the signal for re-
newed feuding between rival anti
Communist factions in both North
and South Wet Nam.
In Hanoi, Vietnamese offici. Is
were locked in a struggle which
a French official said was en- an

er it is engaged on legitimate
business, he said.
The American aircraft
shot down two Red planes
after being attacked over
the South China Sea.
The President also dealt with
these other matters:
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM -
Eisenhower said he would be more
than bitterly disappointed If Con-
gress should adjourn without ap-
proving such administration meas
ures as those dealing with foreign
aid, farm policy, tax revision,
housing and social security.
And he added, in reply to q
question, that he feels an increase
in the 275-billion-dollar national
debt ceiling is inescapable.
ANGLO-EGYPTIAN-He said he
is highly pleased with the agree
ment reached by Great Britain and
Egypt on terms for settling their
argument over the Snez Canal
Zone.
The agreement reflects states
manship and patience on both
sides, he said, adding that he hopes
Egypt now viii be able to advance
with her friends from both econo-
mic and security standpoints.
POLITTCS-Eisenhower said he
still supports Sen. Cooper (R-Ky)
for reelection despite Cooper's
break with the administration on
two votes In connection with the
atomic energy bill.

to him and was honest about the
whole thing In explaining his posi-

gram instead of the rigid support
plan now in effect.
TARIFFS-The United States,
the President said, must continue
to cork for a freer flow of
world trade, even though he found
it necessary to hike the tariff on
certain imported watches UP to
50 per cent.
Eisenhower ordered the increase
yesterday. Switzerland, which sup
