Boy 9FoIIs
In DeepMoo
AtArchives

A 9-year-old boy tourist from
Oklahoma was injured today in
a fall from the Constitution
avenue side of the Archives
Building into a 30-foot-deep
moat.
The youngster, David Frank
Stamper of Lawton, apparently
had climbed over a 4-foot
railing from the top of the tall
steps for a closer examination
of the moat that encircles the
building.
Building guards believed he
was hugging the ledge when he
slipped.
He probably was saved from
more serious injury because the
moat is used for parking and
he struck the top of a car be-
fore dropping to the pavement.
Guards said the boy was &C
companied by his father and
mother, who notified a Justice
Department guard.
The accident occurred about
11:45 am. BY the time the
ambulance arrived young Da-
vid was sitting up and talking.
He was taken to Children's
Hospital for X-rays and obser-
walton.

Pressure built up today on
about two dozen Swing men"
who will decide whether the
House passes relatively tough
or moderate labor reform bill.
These uncommitted members
may tip their hands late today
if the House starts voting on
amendments. The first crucial
test votes may not be taken
until tomorrow. Neither faction
will clinch victory until Friday
or Saturday.
Most of the House members
have made up their minds and
informed the floor managers
of the various bills. They are
so closely divided that the
handful of uncommitted mem
bers will decide the key issues
whether to prohibit secon-
Diary boycotts and restrict or
ganizational picketing.
Although some leaders are
issuing victory statements,
others admit privately that
they do not know who will
win.

Dog and Woman Team Up to Flush
Robbery Suspect Hiding Under Bed

A suspect in an early morn

lice a merry chase today until
he was flushed from under a
bed by a barking dog and a

The entire night force Of IS
policemen. joined by half a
dozen detectives, pursued the
man by car and foot before he
was captured in a three-hour

The excitement started with
the robbery of the Peoples Gas

and ended when the fugitive
was caught at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Wood at
IA East Oak street.
The 25-year-old Alexandria

NO GUN UNFIRED'

GETTY sBURG, Pa
Presi d e n t EisenhoWer's
natural use of the language
OF an old soldier came close
to tripping him up in his
new adventure in personal
diplomacy today-if any,
one took him literally.
In explaining how he de-
clded to try personal talks
with Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev in an effort to break
the cold war stalemate, he
said there must be no gun
unf1red and no individual
effort spared in order to
break that kind of stale
mate"
Everybody who heard
him knew. Of course, that
the President was not
thinking at all about firing
a gun. He used the phrase
no gun unf1red" to convey
the same meaning as
clvllian-type cliche about

Senate Seems
SuretoUpho|d
Housing Veto
Five Republicans
Shift, Democratic
Hopes Are Faint
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star sta1 Writer

A Senate vote to uphold
President Eisenhower's veto of
the $1.3 billion housing bill
appeared virtually assured to-
day as five Republican Senators
announced they will switch
their votes to support the
President.
These Senators, who had
voted for the bill in June, are
Allott of Colorado, Case of New
Jersey. Cooper of Kentucky,
Heating Of New York and Mar
garet Chase Smith of Maine.
Even before they announced
their switch, Democratic lead
ers had little hope of over
riding the veto.
The five Republicans said in
a joint statement they favor
a balanced housing program
but are convinced the original
bill could not muster the re-
quired two-thirds to override
the veto in the House, even if
the Senate should vote to over
ride.
See mo Serious Effort"
For this reason they con-
cluded the attempt to override
cannot be regarded as a seri-
Gus effort to achieve sound
housing legislation at this
session.
Its significance would be
purely symbolic-symbolic of
two things Cd reputation of
the President in general, and
90 rejection of the Presidents
leadership in the fight against
imitation. That would in no
wise be our intention. -"
Their statement reinforced
the prediction. of Senate Mi
nority Leader Dirksen of Hi
nois that the veto would be up
held.
Senate Majority Leader John
son of Texas told newsmen Just
before floor debate on the veto
began he would vote to over
ride.
He declined to make any
prediction as to the outcome
but said he expected the vote
to come late this afternoon.
House Might Not Vote
If the Senate Sustains the
President, the House would not
get a chance to vote on the
veto, and Senator Robertson
Democrat of Virginia, will call
an early meeting of the Sen
ate Banking Committee to re-
sumo work on the compromise
housing bill drafted last week
! by the Housing Subcommittee.

which apparently requires no
essential change in Federal Re-

ment reads:
1T is the sense of Congress

account the Importance of pro-
noting continuity of employ

a maximum, sustained rate of

nine fellow Democrats voted
against the authorization meas
ure. 1t was announced he will
not formally introduce the bill
in the House or bring it before
the Rules Committee with a
for clearance.
The so-called compromise"
bill, however, will be introduced
by Representative Harrison,
Democrat of Virginia. He was
one of five Democrats who
voted with all 10 Republican
members for the bill.
Mr.. Harrison also might bring
the bill before the Rules Com
mittee, which is headed by a
close political associate, Rep
resentative Smith, Democrat OF
Virginia. Several Ways and
Means Committee members, in
GLIDING one Republican, told
reporters that it was doubtful
whether the House Democratic
leadership would try to bring
the bill to the floor in the few
weeks remaining before ad-
journment.
Goodness Increases
This tied in with earlier in
dicstionS that Democratic
leaders in both House and Sen
ate have grown increasingly
cool toward the Presidents re-
quest for authority to lift the
interest rate ceilings on Gov
eminent bonds.

He conceded that his plans
for personal talks with Mr..

international relations should
be handled.
But, he said, efforts to settle
the cold war through ordinary
channels have reached "a kind

element Of almost hopelessness.
In this situation, Mr.. Eisen-
hover asserted, no individual
effort should be spared to break
the stalemate. So he hopes his
new type of personal diplomacy
may help break the cold war
stalemate.

Lower Benefits

Costs Are Too High
For Insurance Bill
Maximum, 1t Says

The administration told Con-
gress today that If the Federal
employe health insurance bill
becomes law this year, the Gov
eminent will contract with the
various health and insurance
companies for less than the
maximum benefits proposed in
the bill.
Civil Service Commission
Chairman Roger Jones told the
House Civil Service Committee
that the cost to the Govern
ment Of providing the maxi
mum benefits is "prohibitive."
Mr.. Jones added that the
proposed $500 a month maxi
mum premium that employees
would have to pay was more
than many employees could
afford.
12O-Day COverage Provided
Under the Senate-approved
bill on which the House group
is now holding hearings, pro-
posed maximum benefits for
employees are stated, such as
full coverage of up to 100 days
disqualification and so forth.
However, the bill leaves it
up to the discretion of the
Civil Service Commission to
negotiate for reduced benefits
and also lower premium rates
for the employees if there are
not enough funds on hand to
pay for the proposed maximum
benefits.
Under the Senate bill, on a
$3.50 sharing of the cost with
the employees the cost to the
Government would be S145 mil
lion a year.
The Budget Bureau recently
notified the House Committee
that all the Government could
afford to spend on the program
would be $50 million a year.
Exercise of Discretion
In his testimony. Mr.. Jones
declared:
These factors make it neces-
Sary for me to record that if
this bill is passed by the Gen.
gress and signed by the Presi-
dent. the Civil Service Com
mission proposes to negotiate
and contract for the maximum
benefits that it can obtain for
a cost which will be in accord
with the administrators fiscal
policy and within the financial
reach of most employees.
This will be a cost subStan-
TALLY lower than that which
would be permitted by the
maximum contributions now
set forth in the bill. We con-
strue the language of the bill
as clearly permitting this, and
the commission will exercise the
discretion given us in the way
I have described. We urge
that there be no misunder-
standing on this point and that
it be clearly stated on the COM
mittee'S report on the bill, if
the legislation is favorably re-
ported"
Mr.. Jones also renewed the
administrations proposal that
two-thirds of the cost of the
health program be borne by
the employees and one-third by
the Government, instead of
the $3.50 arrangement in the
Senate bill.

Activity in Laos
Termed Threat

TOKYO. Aug. IL (AP).-
Communist China declared to-
night that it considers United
States activities in Laos q
threat to its own security and
will firmly oppose them.
The Chinese Communist For
eign Ministry demanded in a
Peiping radio broadcast that
"all American military person
mel and arms and ammunition
must be withdrawn" from Laos
and "all United States military
bases must be abolished"
1t was the strongest language
Peiping has used in the Laos
crisis and resembled warnings
Communist China issued before
entering the Korean war in
1850.
Charge Is Ridiculed
In Washington the State De-
partment repeated that the
United States has neither mil
itary bases nor troops in Laos
No official comment was i'm
mediately available there con-
corning the allegation that the
trouble in Laos was "engi-
neered" by the United States
But department officials pri-
vately ridiculed these charges
GAS far as we know it was
not the United States but the
Communists who started the
trouble by invading the north
ern provinces of Loas," one
official said.
Peiping, in a Commentary
by a spokesman of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, warned:
ITO eliminate the tension ir

of the commission were India,
