KEFAUVER WITHDRAWS FROM
 DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL RACE
By the Associated Press

Adlai Stevenson political stock as a Democratic presidential nom- inee was at new high today in the wake of sudden withdrawal by Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten nessee.
 Kefauver announced yesterday he would retire from the hard fought race and join the Steven son camp, for the sake of party unity and victory in November. !"
 Some Stevenson supporters saw the merger as an all but certain indication of quick Stevenson victory at the Democratic Nation al Convention in Chicago begin ming Aug. 13. Democrats backing other hopefuls weren't so sure.
 Stevenson welcomed Kefauver's announcement with statement saying he shared Kefauver's hope Democrats united by common purpose can soon close ranks and get on with this fateful cam paign.'
 Both men said there had been no negotiations between them be- fore the announcement. KefauVer repeated he is not candidate for vice president but didn't entirely close out the possibility.
 Gov. Averell Hartman of New York, who has been running close third in the Democratic presidential sweepstakes behind Kefauver, served notice he would never" withdraw.
 Furthermore, Hartman, said he expects to get more than half of KefauVers convention delegate votes. He said many already had shifted to him.
 An Associated Press tabulation made after Democrats completed their 1872 convention roster gave Stevenson 371 first-ballot vote pledges and expressed preference es, Kefauver 1641s and Hartman l36. It takes 68619 to nominate.
 Former President Harry Tru- man said Kefauver's withdrawal did not change his previously ex- pressed neutral stand among the Democratic candidates.

BRITAIN READY TOUSE FORCE E NECESSARY TO KEEP SUEZ OPEN

LONDON, R-An authorative British source said today Britain is ready to use force if necessary, including the reoccupation of the Suez Canal Zone, to keep the canal open to world shipping.
 The informant is an official of Prime Minister Eden's govern ment. But he declined to be iden- tified by his name or position.
 He said Britain has not asked and does not intend asking-the United States to join in any mili- tary measures which this country may take as a result of Egypt's naturalization of the canal.
 Britain has, however, called on the United States to give political support in the event military ac- ton is taken, he said. France and some of the British Common wealth countries were described as backing this country's attitude.
 The information was given out as US. Secretary of State Dulles talked with Eden, British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, and French Foreign Minister Chris tain Pineau at hurriedly ar ranged work luncheon
 Dulles, who only Sunday said he had no plans to come here, ar rived from Washington by plane this morning. He IS thought to have been sent by President Eis- enhower to urge moderation upon the French and British.
 The United States broadly sup ports Anglo-French objections to the canal standardization and also seeks ways of guaranteeing free passage thru the canal-which Egyptian President Nasser has pledged to do.

New Law Gives More Benefits to Federal Employees

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower yesterday signed into law today a bill providing hefty pay raises for top government ex- ecutives and liberalizing retire ment benefits for all federal em- ployes.
 The executive bill boosts sal aries of the Presidents Cabinet officials from $22,500 to $25,000 a year, with commensurate in creases for lesser federal execu- tives all down the line.
 The pay raises and improved retirement and survivors benefits were passed by Congress in the closing days of the session as an inducement for qualified employ es to seek and remain in federal jobs.
 Territorial governors will be paid $19,000. They now earn from S13,125 to S15,000
 Congress just last year voted pay raises totaling more than billion dollars year to all classes of government employees, includ- ing the military.
 Among other liberalizing fea- lures, the retirement provisions of the bill permit federal employ es to retire at a higher pension than under the old formula.

Concern Felt Here Over DiscOntinuance of Fire Dept. At Nome Field

Allen Hulen, regional director of CAA in Alaska is expected in Nome in the near future in con- nection with the turning over of Air Force fire fighting equipment at Nome Field to the CAA, it has been reported.
 Much concern is felt here since it has not been ascertained that the CAA is planning to maintain this equipment.
 According to the CAA there were 637 plane landings during July on Nome Field, in addition to military planes. They expected as much if not more traffic in August. In view of this traffic through Nome Field operation of the Air Force crash truck and fire fighting equipment is of great importance to. both the airlines and the travelling public.
