LONDON, R-Waves of British and French parachutists landed in the Port Said area at the north end of the Suez Canal today. With in hours, the British announced, the Egyptian commander there began discussing surrender terms with the invaders. A cease-fire was declared.
 The cease-fire was announced to cheers in the House of Com- mons by Prime Minister Eden.
 The developments meant the situation of Egyptian President Nasser was becoming more pre- carious by the hour. Last week, the Egyptians lost their vast Sinai Peninsula, east of the canal, to invading Israeli forces.
 The announced purpose Of the British-French invasion is to safe guard the canal-now closed to shipping-and to separte the bel ligerents in the Israeli-E Egyptian fighting. The British say they are willing to turn over control of the canal to JUN. forces, once the situation is stabilized.
 The parachute troops landed in the Canal Zone only four months and 22 days after the British sur rendered to Egypt the military bases they long had occupied there. In the meantime, on July 26, Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal.
 The invasion came shortly after the JUN. General Assembly, seek

Russian Troops Crush Hungarian Rebellion

 Radio Pecs, now in Russian hands, reported late today that rebels were still fighting for the uranium mines of Mecsek, not far from the Yugoslav border. It de- manded the rebels be given no refuge in public buildings or in apartments and said anyone mo- testing Russian soldiers would be shot on the spot.
 The Budapest station, again firmly under Russian control, sought to win over Hungarians with all sorts of promises of polit- ical and economic reforms.
 
 First it is necessary to restore order" it warned. The Soviet troops will be withdrawn only after order has been restored"
 The new regime, it said, will start negotiations for the with drawal after peace returns.
 Only Saturday, radio Budapest, then in rebel hands, announced a Soviet military delegation had promised that no further Russian endorsements would cross the border into Hungary.
 Generals of the Soviet and Hungarian armies had begun dis cussing what a Hungarian gov ernment spokesman called tech nical details of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Hungary.
 Premier Nagy, who held his post Saturday, sent his second appeal in two days to the U.N., urging action on his request that the world body guarantee Hun garian independence. The next day the Russians seized power, and Nagy was deposed.

An America newly concerned with bloodshed in Hungary and shooting in the Middle East will choose tomorrow a President to guide the nations affairs for the next four years.
 An estimated II million or more voters will decide whether to continue President Eisenhower in the White House or replace him with Adlai Stevenson.
 They will decide. too, which party shall control Congress in the next two years.
 Such signposts as the public opinion polls and the pulse-taking of political reporters and com mentators point almost unani- mously to Eisenhower's re-elec- ton. But the polls have been proved fallible at times in the past.
 The same signs point to close battle for control of Congress,

now held by the Democrats.
 Thirty-five senators will be elected from B states. All but three of the 435 seats in the US. House of Representatives will be filled. Maine elected two Repub- licans and one Democrat Sept 10.
 Voters in 29 states will elect governors. A host of other state and local officials will also be chosen.
 An election eve survey of polit- ical leaders, reporters and others by the Associated Press indicated that if these observers read the signs correctly, Eisenhower will get four times as many electoral votes as Stevenson.
 With 266 electoral votes needed to win, Eisenhower captured 442 to Stevenson's 89 in their 1852 race. The popular vote was 33,- 936,252 for Eisenhower and 27,- 314,992 for Stevenson, who took just nine southern and border states.

Secretary of State Will Be Laid Up For Six Weeks

WASHINGTON R-Cancer had infected a section of intestine re- moved from Secretary of State Dulles, it was disclosed yesterday.
 A State Department announce ment said an examination at the time of the emergency operation Saturday, and X rays later, indi- cated the malignancy had not spread beyond the diseased DOT tions.
 Dulles condition was described as good" in the wake of the 21s- hour operation at the Army's Walter Reed Hospital.
 Doctors said they expect the secretary to spend about six weeks in recuperation, some three weeks of that time in the hospital.
 This means Dulles will be im- mobilized at a time when the United States is grappling with crisis in eastern Europe and the Middle East. In his absence, the State Department is headed by Undersecretary sof State Herbert Hoover Jr.
 Dulles returned Friday from New York City where he called for, and won, United Nations General Assembly vote urging an end to fighting in the Middle East.

New Eskimo Housing In Alaska May Cost As Much as $1 Million

WASHINGTON R-A proposal to build and rehabilitate Eskimo housing in Alaska may involve an expenditures of as much as a million dollars.
 Altho such a proposal is under active consideration, Department of the Interior officials have been hesitant to discuss details of the program.
 A department source said today, however, that as originally pro- posed the program might involve construction of 2,200 new homes and rehabilitation of possibly 2,000 others.
 The purpose of the program would be to raise Eskimo housing standards. It is understood there is general department agreement of the need for such move.
 One possible result of the pro- gram might be a cut in the heavy tuberculosis toll among Alaska'S natives.

WINGS & WHEELS
By CHARLES YARBRoUcH

All those who have their hand,
thrown up in holy horror ovel
horsepower can take them dowr
now.
From Charles A. Ckayne, Gen.
eral Motors engineering vict
president comes the most lucic
Explanation of the horsepowel
question this mail-culler has evel
seen.
In the first place, Mr.. Chayne
admits that maximum horse
power sis not a very good overall
measure of the ability of an en-
CINE to drive a car with the per-
Torrance expected of it by the
purchaser"
But. he says, unfortunately no
one has been able to devise a
better measure.
Let's assume, as Mr.. Chayne
does in q new pamphlet issued
by General Motors on engineer
ling safety in today's cars, that
you've bought an automobile the
advertising says has 200 horse
power.
That means the engine was
placed on a power-measuring
device in Detroit. No exhaust heat
was supplied to the intake mani
fold and the spark was manually
adjusted at every 200 relolutions-
Iper-minute increase in speed.
When the engine is installed
in the car, manifold heat is sup
piled for smoother low speed
operation and the spark advance
is automatic for better perform
ance and fuel economy.
This causes horsepower loss.
Take of more horsepower for
the air cleaner, the exhaust and
muller. the fan and generator.
power steering, air conditioning:
power losses in the transmission
and you wind up with a net of
100 actual horsepower available
at the rear wheels!
Then Mr.. Chayne talks about
the value of good acceleration
and OF the newly revived discus
sion Of governors to limit speed.
He differs with those who be-
lieve engine governors would be
a panacea for the traffic safety
program.
"Acceptably safe passing at As
miles an hour requires that the
governor be set at nearly 10
miles an hour. Persons favoring
governors simply do not realize
that such devices if they are
to LIMIT speed. will at some point
reduce the normal acceleration
to zero"
You can bet that when James
I. Pyle, acting administrator of
Civil Aeronautics, starts talking
about the coming jet transports,
he's going to know even more
about it than his job requires.
A wartime Navy transport
pilot, Mr.. Pyle has flown Boe-I
ing's TOT prototype and formed
some interesting opinions. Some
Of them:
I'VE found it (the TOD has

In with any other aircraft with
