Del. Harrington
 To Urge Statehood In COP Platform

WASHINGTON, R-Delegate Harrington R-HawaiD said today she will urge the Republican Ma tional Convention to adopt plat form favoring immediate state hood for both Hawaii and Alaska.
 Mrs. Harrington is one of 10 Hawaii delegates to the COP con- vention opening in San Francisco Aug. 20 and a member of the platform committee.
 She expects to leave her Wash ington office Saturday by train and arrive in San Francisco in time for the platform writing committee beginning Aug.
 She said she agrees with esti- mates that improvement in na- tional support for Alaskan state hood will increase Hawaii's chances of achieving statehood.
 The 1852 Republican platform supported immediate statehood for Hawaii but qualified it's en- dorsement of Alaska statehood with the statement:
 We favor statehood for Alaska under an equitable enabling act. :"
 Democratic Party platforms as far back as 1948 have urged i'm mediate statehood for both Alas ka and Hawaii.

Army Will Draft
 17,000 Men In October

WASHINGTON, lR - The De- fense Department Tuesday issued a draft call for 17,000 men in October-all for the Army.
 This is the largest monthly draft quota since last December's 18,000. However, that included 5000 for the Army and 10000 for the Navy.
 The Pentagon said the increas- ed call for October, which is 5000 more than announced for Sep tember, was necessary for the Army to counteract a lag in reaching its scheduled strength. At the end of last month, the Army was about 15,300 men short of the approved goal of 1,O40,250.

His Stand Unchanged On Running Mate

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said at a news con- ference today said he feels he has made himself perfectly clear with respect to the controversy over a vice presidential running mate. If he didn't manage to be clear at his news conference last week, then he probably never will be able to, the President added.
 The controversy was touched off by efforts of Harold E. Stassen to ditch Vice President Nixon from the No. 2 spot on the Repub- lican ticket in favor of Gov. Christian Herter of Massachu- setts. A week ago the President said Nixon is perfectly accept able" to him as a running mate,
 He declined comment on Her ter or any other possible vice presidential candidate, saying if he started discussing them he might have to make reservations about some of them.
 On the subject of segregation, Eisenhower said he could not pre- dict how the Republican Party plank on civil rights will be stat ed in it's platform, but that so far as the school desegregation issue is concerned, he is sworn to up- hold the US. Constitution.

B-36 Converted To Flying Testbed For Atomic ReactOr

WASHINGTON, LR - The Air Force has released first pictures of an aircraft carrying an atomic reactor
 The plane is a B-36 intercon- tinental bomber, converted some months ago into flying testbed for research into the radiation ef- fleets of the nuclear power plant on instruments, equipment and the frame of the aircraft
 During these research flights the atomic reactor is turned on only after the B-36 reaches high attitudes. The power, which push es the big plane through the air, is supplied throughout by its con- ventional piston motors and at times by the four jet engines. The nuclear plant is not connected with the propulsion system.
 These research flights are being conducted by the Convair div ision of General Dynamics Corp. as part of its work toward devel- opment of fully atomic-powered airplane.

Hopes for Peaceful Settlement of Crisis
Bp the Associated Press

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said today he has ev- cry hope the Suez Canal crisis will be settled by peaceful means.
 Eisenhower told news confer ence he cannot conceive of mili- tary force bringing a good solu- ton in the tense situation under present circumstances.
 Told that his remarks might give the impression he would be opposed to use of force under any circumstances, Eisenhower shot back that he had not said that.
 What we are trying to do, Eis- enhower said, is to substitute the conference table for the battle field.
 His mention of the conference table was an allusion to the "A nation conference which the Western big three-the US, Brit ain and France-have. called in London for Aug. Is ip an effort to arrive at a peaceful settlement of the Suez situation.
 After the news conference, the President spent 30 minutes with Secretary of State Dulles at the White House. Dulles told news men afterward their conference dealt with the "Suez and other matters He did not elaborate.

Group Formed to Draft Proposed Platform for Democratic Convention

CHICAGO, R-Rep. John w. Mccormack today picked five southerners and an Illinois Negro lawmaker to serve on a 15-mem- Der subcommittee to draft the proposed platform for the Demo- cratic National Convention.
 The group will submit first to McCormack's 107-member plat form committee and then to the convention itself a series of pro posed planks-including one on the explosive civil rights issue.
 Mccormack designated himself as ex-officio chairman of the drafting group-obviously in an effort to compromise the bitter dispute between Dixie and north ern delegates over whether the platform should specifically en- dorse the Supreme Courts public school desegregation decision.
 From the South, Mccormack picked Gov. James P. Coleman of Mississippi, former Gov. John s. Battle of Virginia, Sen. Sam Err win of North Carolina, Rep. Hayes of Arkansas and Vann M. Ken nedy of Texas.

Democratic Senator Says Country Has Been Lucky to Avoid Disaster

LONDON, R-Egypt was re- ported today to have decided to boycott London's conference on international control of the Suez Canal. Nevertheless, pressure for a negotiated settlement mounted. A British spokesman said Britain aims at a peaceful outcome.
 Clearing one major roadblock to the Aug. Is conference, Indian Prime Minister Nehru announced at last his governments decision to attend, but appealed to Britain and France to halt their ''warlike preparations" Ceylon also decid- ed to take part.
 Authoritative sources in New Delhi said Egypt had advised the Indian government she would not go to the conference, and Nehru himself told his Parliament he recognized that Egypt could not and would not participate" In all, "A nations were invited.
 In Australia, Herbert Evatt, an opposition leader, declared Brit ain and France had mo right to use force or the threat of force and that the United Nations was the proper forum to settle the dis pute
 The British Foreign Office spokesman declared Britain's in tention of settling the dispute peacefully. The statement ap- peared aimed at offsetting Asian anger at the British-French show of force.
 Behind the scenes, there were signs the government of Prime Minister Eden was trying to shift the emphasis from military dem onstrations to diplomatic negoti- ationS. But privately, government spokesmen insisted there was no weakening of Britain's resolve to assure the vital waterway is not yielded to Egypt's one-nation control.

Sees Streamlining of US. Forces Coming

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower was asked at his news conference today what eff feet any reduction in US. military manpower, resulting from devel- opment of modern weapons, might have on the strength of American forces maintained over seas.
 Eisenhower replied that he has scheduled a conference on that general situation with Gen. Al fred M. Gruenther, supreme com mander of allied forces in western Europe.
 Eisenhower said he believes a streamlining of U. s. forces is coming. Pointing up what he has in mind, the President noted that long ago it took 1,400 men to achieve the same amount of fire power one man with a machine gun has today. He said he was marking back to the days of flint lock weapons to draw the com parison.
 A newsman noted Secretary of Defense Wilson reported yester- day he had received preliminary requests for a total of $48 billion for the defense budget for the fiscal year starting next July l. Wilson also said he had sent the request back as too high.

4OO-Year-Old Turtle
 Dies of Throat Cancer

SEOUL, South Korea, R-A 600-pound female sea turtle, esti- mated by experts to be at least 400 years old, died yesterday of throat cancer.
 To Koreans, the turtle is sym bol of good luck and long life.
 The big turtle, named Su Ku, had padded around a specially heated tank at Chinhae for seven years, eating five pounds of cock les and other shell fish daily. She was trapped on the southwest Korea coast in August 1949 far north of her normal waters.
