that pharmaceutical manufac-
turers have been asked to pro-

the vaccine by February / to
forestall any epidemic of Ash

Manufacturers using eggs in

vaccines normally place orders
for fertile eggs a year in ad-

But this new vaccine pro-

million eggs needed to make

firms must now turn to the
broiler chick hatchery industry
to answer their needs.
When this became known on
the Chicago mercantile market

said.
Though the vaccine pro-

initial difficulty in getting the

them from the broiler hatch

there will be no shortage" he

How far along this process is

In his judgment. however,
the situation is not one to JUS
tify any kind of action under
the Middle East doctrine.
There are very definite linn
itations on what the United
States can do in the internal
affairs of another country, the
President observed.

He referred to the security
detachment as censorship in

that Syria is not interfering
with actual American commu-

with diplomatic codes.
Leftist officers recently took
control of the Syrian army,
shortly after three American
officials in Damascus
were expelled for allegedly try
ing to overthrow the Syrian
government.

disclosed that the United States
protested against the security
detachment nine days ago, i'm

Support Will Rest
On Need, He Soys
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Senate Democratic Leader
johnson said today he will vote
to increase the sharply cut
House appropriation bill for
foreign aid and believes that
most Senators will also sup
port a higher total.
But he did not specify how
much of the $809 million
stricken by the House should be
restored. He said his decision
as to the exact amount would
be based solely on facts being
gathered by the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee and
not ION cries of wolf, political
statements or threats"
Hits Generalizing
Apparently referring mainly
to testimony of Secretary of
State Dulles before the COM
mittee last Monday. Senator
johnson told reporters:
"Generalized statements that
any reduction in foreign aid
would be dangerously eroding
to security policies are not par
ticularly helpful. Senators can
not discharge their RESPONSE
bilities on the basis of un-
proven assertions. The thing
We want to determine in the
committee before we send the
bill to the Senate floor is how
the money is being spent now
and whether any more than
the House provided is needed. "
The phrase dangerously
eroding" was uttered by Secre-
tary Dulles Monday in urging
the committee to restore the
new money total to the SO SO
billion ceiling authorized by
Congress. The House chopped
that figure to s2.5 billion in
new appropriations for the
present fiscal year.
President Hopes for Best
Senator Johnson's remarks
came soon after President Ell
senhower declared at a news
conference that he hoped the
Senate would restore every cent
of the 5000 million cut by the
House. Mr. Eisenhower said
he also hoped for the very best
deal possible at any House,
Senate conference.
The President emphasized
again that the House total was
dangerously low. He warned
that severe cuts Of that kind
would handicap the mutual Sc
curity program in assuring the
tools Of military assistance and
economic aid to help friendly
foreign countries resist COM
munism. He explained that a
great deal depended on where
the cuts are made and indi-
Gated that many Of the House
reductions would affect indi-
vidual programs and countries
where adequate assistance is
most needed.

February, 1856

Serious crimes in Washing
ton last month jumped 121a
per cent over the July. 1856,
rate-the first upswing In
crime here during the last II
months.
The sharp monthly reversal
in a steady downward trend in
crime was reported by the
Metropolitan Police Depart.
ment today.
Deputy Chief Howard v.
Covell said the single months
figures were insufficient to
evaluate a possible change in
trends, and urged that no pub
lie alarm be expressed at the
report.
Nevertheless, the last month
in which an increase in serious
criminal offenses was regis
tered was in February, 1856.
Thefts Lead Increase
The July upSwing was mainly
in thefts. which increased 156
over July year ago.
Chief Covell said that if the
same picture is repeated next
month, it will then become a
matter of definite concern to
the department. But he said,
regarding the downward trend
that has been reported con-
sistently in recent months.
There comes b time when
you don't go any lower. Whether
we have reached it or not we
don't know yet"
Commissioner Robert E.
Mclaughlin, asked for COM
ment on the report, said he
had not had an opportunity to
study it. But he said he was
surprised that there had been
no upSwing in previous months
and that he felt the Police De-
partment had been doing a
very effective job.
He pointed out that despite
the upswing of offenses in July,
the department had cleared
exactly the same percentage of
cases, by arrest and otherwise.

Eisenhower
Seeks End
Of Deadlock
BY J. A. O'LEARY

President Eisenhower ne
vealed today that Republican
leaers in Congress have a new
compromise ready which they
hope will break the deadlock
over the civil rights bill.
At his weekly news confer
ence. Mr.. Eisenhower also said
he hoped Congress would dis
pose of the subject at this ses-
sion.
The President deplored any
attempt to put off the action
on civil rights until next year
in hope of making political
capital of the issue.
Earlier the President had in
dicated that he saw nothing to
be gained by having a special
session this fall on civil rights.
This prompted a reporter to
ask if he thought it would be
better for both parties to try
to get together on the issue
now.
Details Not Disclosed
The President said he cer-
tainly hoped so, adding that he
cannot conceive of anything
worse than making the basic
rights of a large number of
American citizens the subject
of political snarling over who
was to blame for this or that.
The President did not dis
close the exact nature of the
Republican compromise, but
said fatty it did not call for
restoring any part of Title 8
of the original administration
bill.
This was the title which
would have enabled the Fed
eral Government to intervene
with injunctions to enforce ra-
cial integration or any other
civil rights in the South. The
Senate knocked out Title 3,
which narrowed the bill down
to the protection of voting
rights. The Senate then added
a broad amendment guarantee
ing trial by jury in criminal
contempt cases either under
this bill or any other Federal
law.
Democrats Proposal
House Democrats are now
trying to complete action on
a compromise proposed by
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York, under which
Congress would agree on the
Senate bill, with one amend
ment limiting the jury trial
guarantee to voting right cases.
The President revealed that
the Republicans have a com.
promise of their own when he
was asked if he would accept
the Celler plan in the event
that is the only way to get
action now.
In reply, Mr.. Eisenhower re-
called his repeated statement
that the Senate version as ap-
piled to voting rights is not
strong enough. He said he
thinks the Republican leaders
in Congress have reached some
conclusion on a proposal they
will put forward today or to-
morrow to break the deadlock.
The President said the Re-
publican plan will take a posi-
ton somewhere between the
Senate bill and the original ad-
miniStration measure.
Asked if he could give further
details, Mr.. Eisenhower said he
thought it would build into the
Senate bill sufficient effective
ness to make it satisfactory and
at the same time allay fears of
