Hammarskjold Reports on Clearance Of Canal; JUN. Forms New Committee To Inquire Into Hungarian Situation

given Hammarskjold a check for $5 million as an advance for this purpose. Hammarskjold did not disclose which other countries had pledged advances.
 The LIN. turned it's attention to the Middle East as a new Assem- bly committee prepared to in quire into the causes and events of the Hungarian revolt.
 The Assembly voted 59-8 yes= terday over bitter Soviet bloc op- position to set up a watchdog committee to seek out the facts on the Hungarian situation. The resolution, sparked by the United States, was sponsored by 24 na- tions.
 Budapest radio said the com mittee would be barred from Hungary, just as a previous fact finding group named by the As sembly was. Instead, the new committee will probably inter view refugees and other sources in the United States, Austria, It. ally and other European countries on this side of the iron curtain.

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R-- Secretary General Dag Hammar- skiold said today he expected to have sufficient funds pledged by. the end of January to finance the initial stages of the Suez Canal clearance operations.
 He also indicated in a progress report to the 80-nation General Assembly that things were going well otherwise in the task of get ting the vital waterway back into operation.
 He made no reference to diff culties over Israel's delay in with drawing her troops from the Sinai Peninsula or possible complica- tions arising from this.
 Hammarskjold made his report as the Arab and African nations worked on a proposal to press Is rael to hasten the withdrawal. This was expected to touch off a new round of debate on the Mid 'ile East next week.

Adenauer Suggest World Agreement To Ban Thermonuclear Weapons

BONN, Germany, R-Chancel- Tor Konrad Adenauer today sug- gested a world-girdling agree ment to ban thermonuclear weap- ons. Adenauer aired his proposal at crowded news conference at which he said:
 'Thermonuclear weapons no longer can be considered as a means of waging war;"
 He firmly declared a "defini- tive solution" of outstanding world problems can be attained only through complete abolition of these weapons. The 81-year- old Chancellor did not spell out how he thought this could be achieved or whether he felt some system of controls would be es- sential.
 There is belief, however, that he endorses Western insistence on such controls.
 Adenauer also voiced doubt that creation of a demilitarized zone in the heart of Europe could bring about German unification. There had been speculation in the German press recently that an agreement by the big world pow CTS on such a buffer zone might

Democrats Take Exception to Some Of Presidents Proposals as Set Forth In His State of the Union Message

Senate COP leader Knowland of California said he is confident "substantiaT' portion of Eisen- hower's program will be enacted. Republicans generally praised the Presidents proposals.
 Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson promised the Senate will study the Presidents abbreviated proposals-to be enlarged upon in subsequent messages-ssin a CO., operative and constructive spirit.'' ''
 Sen. Aiken R-VD described the talk as "a message that would be hard to disagree with, largely be- cause it was so general"
 But it was evident many Demo crats were preparing for a battle-
 As an example of how some of them felt, Sen. O'Mahoney O. Wyol predicted the Democratic Congress will ignore Eisenhow- CTS suggestion for creation of commission of private citizens to make broad survey of the na- tion's financial system.
 Instead, O'Mahoney said he is confident Congress will itself in- vestigate the administrations tight money" policies against which many Democrats have been complaining.
 Chairman Russell O-Ga of the Senate Armed Services Commit tee signaled expected opposition to Eisenhower's forthcoming mili- tary and foreign aid budgets.
 Russell said, "I agree with all the President said about fighting imitation but it is no more infla- tionary to spend money on build ing up our own military strength than it is to spend it on building up the military forces of other nations, some of which are of doubtful friendliness to us"

induce the Soviets to accept Ger man unity.
 Adenauer said the creation of such a zone eventually would i'm prove the political climate" but in itself would not constitute a definite solution of world prob lens.
 WASHINGTON, R-U.S. off clals were astonished by Aden- auer's call today for a ban on thermo-nuclear weapons.
 There was no immediate com ment from the White House or State Department, but policy making officials obviously were not happy about it.
 The Adenauer statement ap- peared to put new pressure on the US. to soften it's position against the prohibition of hydro gen superbombs except under some ironclad general disarma- ment pact.
 It is particularly significant be- cause the German leader has been the anchor man of much US. pol icy in Europe for the past 10 years. They have often yielded to his views on issues involving Germany.

unwise for him to associate
with his former private secre-
tary. who resigned in a blaze
of publicity last February after
separting from his wife. Since
then he and Philip have kept
up a friendship that dates back
to their schooldays.

snubbed the all-powerful

Mr.. KhruShchev'S remarks
