Oddly enough, admen are

other networks are jeopardized.
It's their belief that q prosper

Conferees failed today to settle
the disagreement between the
House and Senate over $40 per
person tax cut in 1856.
The conferees arranged to re-
convene Friday however. and
may agree then.
House Democrats sponsored
the cut, but the Senate rejected
it when two influential Democrats
Senators Byrd of Virginia and
George of Georgia, threw their
weight behind the administra-
ton.
The President wants the tax
bill confined to a straight extern
sion for one year of existing cor
poration and excise rates, which
will be reduced automatically
April l unless Congress acts be-
fore that date. If these rates
are permitted to drop. the Treas
ury would lose $2.7 billion.
Informed sources predict that
House conferees will give in to
the Senate and drop their fight
for individual tax relief rather
than let corporation and excise
rates go down as the result of a
deadlock.
Meanwhile, the House is get
ting ready to act in a few days
on a separate bill to close a loop
hole in the 1854 tax law, which
both parties agree is giving busi-

Switch Is Thrown,
Wreck Kills Two
BY the Associated Press

GREER. S. c., Mar. GA
thrown switch yesterday sent a
freight train plunging off a coal
chute here, killing two crewmen
Capt. Jack Fowler of the Spar
tanburg County sheriff's office
said the Piedmont & Northern
train rammed through the switch
and onto a little used siding. then
dropped 20 feet down an en-
bankment.
Capt. Fowler said the switch
was not supposed to have been
thrown. There is a possibility
he said, that criminal prosecu-
ton may result.
The dead were identified as
Charles Heard, engineer, and D
M. Campbell. conductor. Capt
Fowler said a tank car toppled
onto the Diesel engine. crushing
the cab and killing the crewmen
Two more cars followed the
engine and the tank car off the
chute. One landed few feet
from a nearby store, blocking q
street.

Col. Bond said a military in
quiry would be held.
EyewitneSSeS indicated the
pilot saw the 2.500-foot peak
just seconds before the crash.
One said the pilot tried to bank
away, but it was too late"
A military guard stood watch
over the burned wreckage until
daylight. The side of the al
most perpendicular mountain
was strewn with debris and slick
black oil for hundreds of yards
around.
One of the planes four en-
gines was 300 yards down the
slope. 1t had torn a path through
the underbrush. A hundred yards
away another engine lay smok-
ing.
Recovery of Bodies Slow
Authorities said 1t might be
several days before all bodies
are recovered. It takes at least
two men to bring each body
down the desolate hillside. The
rocky, cactus-studded slope is
slick and dangerous from the
rains that have peppered the
area SO hours.
Among the victims were three
members of one family-a young
Navy man, his wife and their
3-year-old daughter. Teleman

home after two years in Japan.

Foundation Formed
To Push Hospital in
Southeast Section

A hospital for Southeast
Washington came closer to real
ity last night with the forma-
tion of the Greater Southeast
Community Hospital Founda-
ton, Inc.
The group, composed of rep
resentatives of some 80 organ
izations in Southeast, plans to
incorporate shortly.
The idea for a new hospital
in Southeast was formulated two
years ago when Providence and
Sibley Hospitals took steps to
move to the outer reaches Of
the city in the Northeast and
Northwest sections.
! At last nights meeting, held
at st. Elizabeths Hospital, it
was ANNOUNCED the group swill
push for a $50 bed hospital to
be built at a cost of about ST
million.
Will Seek U. S, Funds. fl.
| Ernest j. Read, president, of
the organization, Said Federal
funds for construction would be
sought either through the Wash
ington Hospital Center Act or
the Hill-Burton hospital pro-
gram. Federal funds would be
matched with funds obtained in
a community drive for at least
$1,250,000. Mr.. Read said. The
entire city, he said, may be
asked to contribute.
Seeral sites are in mind, Mr..
Read said. He added there was
some possibility the hospital
might be constructed just over
the District line in Maryland.
Much of the backing for the
hospital stems from physicians
in the area, Mr.. Read said.
Discussions Scheduled
The foundation will discuss the
plan with Commissioner Renah
Camalier Friday and next week
with the General Services Ad-
ministration which handles the
Governments role in hospital
construction if Federal funds are
involved.
Officers of the foundation, be-
side Mr.. Read. include DR.. Otis
Farley, first vice president; w.
Ledru Koontz, second vice presi-
dent; William j. Smith, third
vice president; Leon Cohen,
treasurer; Mrs. Gertrude Payne,
recording secretary. and Miss
Jean Oakley, executive secretary

President Declares
He Is Ready 10 Back
Trade Bill 10 HiIt

The fate of the foreign trade
program is Of such critical i'm
portance to the United States
and the free world that he will
use all proper influence he can
to have it approved by Congress.
President Eisenhower declared
today.
The administrations bill for
q three-year extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Act and some
what broader authority for the
President to ease tariffs faces
trouble in the Senate. Hearings
before the Senate Finance Com
mittee were due to end today,
with a return appearance by
Secretary of State Dulles. The
bill barely squeezed through the
House several weeks ago.
Asked at his news conference
whether he would take an active
part in trying to save the bill
from defeat or major change in
the Senate, the President said he
regarded the measure as one of
the most critical issues before
Congress. He said he would do
everything he legitimately could
as President to obtain favorable
action.
The foreign trade program. as
authorized in the extension bill,
he explained, is an instrument by
which the United States can give
notice to peoples of free nations
everywhere that it is aware of
their problems. This country,
for it's own sake and for the sake
of the world. is trying to pro-
mote a unity of economic and
cultural interests among all ma
tions, he said. The foreign trade
program, he declared, is a major
part of that effort.
To Recess Till Next Week
The Senate Finance Commit
tee will recess this afternoon
until next week, when the strug-
gle by opposition Senators to
curtail the program will begin in
closed session.
The increased opposition is due
to the complaints of certain in
dustries, including textile mills.
independent oil producers, the
coal industry and variety of
smaller group that imports re-
sulting from trade agreements
are hurting them.
Senator Byrd, chairman of the
Finance Committee, served no.
tice on Mr.. Dulles at today'S
hearing that Congress should be
fully informed on the scope and
authority of the new interna-
tiQnal trade organization now
being organized at Geneva be-
fore it votes on the administra-
tion bill.
rs Calls for OTC Bill
The Virginian advised Mr..
Dulles to urge the administration
to submit to Congress without
delay the separate bill to give
United States approval to the
new Organization for Trade CO.
operation.
Senator Byrd said he does not
understand the workings of the
General Agreement On Tariff
and Trade (GATT), which has
been operating for several years
and is to be formalized in the
new OTC. But he said he is go
ing to insist on full explana-
ton of it before he votes on the
reciprocal trade program.
Secretary Dulles replied that it
is the intention of the White
House to submit the OTC bill
with d presidential message
within 10 days.

 The Post Office has already dispatched a tremendous quanti- ty of gift packages headed for members of the Armed Forces overseas. Christmas cards for service personnel can still be de- livered in time of they are sent by air mail before December 1st: In the U.S.A., smart people are now mailing gifts to friends and relatives living in other siites.
 Postmaster FIunt1ey especially calls on housewives to help in her effort to deliver every pack age and Christmas card before December 18th. "The lady of the house" she emphasized, lis really in charge of each family's Christ mas mailing program. She selects the Christmas cards, buys most of the gifts and sees to it that the mailing list of friends and loved ones is up-to-date.
 When your Christmas cards are ready to mail, you will do both yourself and the postmaster a real favor by putting the cards with local addresses in one bun dle and those for out-of-town destinations in another. Then mark each bundle with labels which read: ALL FOR OUT-O OF TOWN DELIVERY" and hand them in through the window.
