Nine Year-OId Campfire Candy Seller Missing In E. Washington City

SPOKANE, Wash, LR - The search for a missing nine-year-old Campfire Girl went into it's fourth day today with hardly a trace to go on and VOW by a policeman inspector that well keep search ing for her until we find out, one way or the other"
 Police checked every phone call - there have been hundreds - offering a lead to the disap- pearance of Candice Elaine Rog- CTS. The little blue-eyed girl was last seen Friday after school when she set out to sell candy hints to raise money for her Campfire troop.
 We've checked everything, nothing tangible It doesn't seem possible the child could have wan dered to the river area by her self, especially toward evening"" said Inspector Robert B. Piper.
 The inspector referred to an area along the Spokane River where six boxes of hints were found.
 Ground parties dragged the ri yer Sunday after an exhaustive search in the area around the girls home failed to turn up anything.
 The river claimed the lives of three airmen who took part in the search Saturday, when their helicopter apparently tangled in some power lines while making a low sWoop of the area.

Kenai Pioneers Beset EnrOute By Bitter Weather.

CHICAGO, R - A band of homesteaders travelling in auto mobiles and trucks headed out of the Chicago area Saturday on the third day of their long trek to Alaska.
 The 37 men, women and chil- dren rolled northwest on the Illi- nois toll road toward the Wiscon- sin state line after spending the night at campground near sub urban Hinsdale.
 The little group of modern pion- eers, all from Michigan, left De- troit Thursday morning on the 4y3O0-mile trek to the newest U. s. state. Bitter weather and road troubles beset the party from the start
 "We are two days out of De- troit, and we're already two days late," said Marine Six, 32, a mem Der of the party.
 The former oil company en- ploye is taking his wife and g. month-old daughter to homestead land in Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. He said he is hopeful the group will reach it's destination in three or four weeks.
 The 13 men, 10 women and IA children are travelling in IA ve- hicles, most of them pulling house trailers.
 High winds, blurred with snow. and slick roads cut the caravans speed to about 25 m.p.h. The poor visibility also led to the group making wrong turns off the con- plicated cloverleafs of express highways.

5000 Block OFF
u. S. Embassy
In South Korea

SEOUL, Korea, Aug. "a (AP)
Some 5000 sitdown strikers
blocked the entrances of the
United States Embassy for four
hours today, demanding that
the United States prevent
repatriation of Koreans from
Japan to Communist North
Korea.
No one could leave or enter
the embassy. A dozen police
appeared at one time but were
surrounded by demonstrators
and could not move. Later
another half dozen mounted
police tried to dispense the
demonstration with similar re-
suits.
The demonstrators made no
attempt to enter the embassy
compound, but they blocked the
main and side entrances.
The sitdowners finally yielded
after a 10-minute scuffie with
a 50-man police squad backed
up by f1remen.
The incident resulted in a
verbal protest by Embassy
Counselor Sam P. GilStrap,
acting for mentioning Am
bassador Walter Bowling.
Despite South Korean pro-
tests and threats of action,
Japan and North Korea have
agreed to begin the repatria-
ton in October.

SpecioI German Auto
Built for Eisenhower

BONN. GERMANY, Aug. "a
(AP) At least one interna-
tional crisis has been resolved.
They're building a new car
for President Eisenhower and
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
to ride in Wednesday when
they drive from the airport
into Bonn.
Mr.. Adenauer wanted to use
his own Mercedes. but its top
wouldn't come down so Mr..
Eisenhower could stand up and
wave at the crowds along the
18-mile route.
Mr.. Adenauer's back seat
also holds only two persons and
room is needed for a third, an
interpreter. since neither the
President nor the Chancellor
speak the others language.
And the seat beside the driver
must be reserved for a Secret
Service agent.
And nowhere in West Ger

dustry could tan open car be
found with Enough seating

space. Then the call went out
to Fritz Koenecke, general di-
rector of Daimler-Benz, which
makes the Mercedes.
It'll solve your problems" he
said. "I'l have a car built for
you"
Engineers at the firms big
Stuttgart plant started with
the 1859 model Of the Mercedes
300, their biggest product. They
designed a model without a
roof so Mr.. Eisenhower can
stand to his hearts content.
Then they reduced the uphol-
Stery on either side of the back
seat, providing space for the
third man.
AS a final innovation, they
installed hand grips so Mr..
Eisenhower while standing will
have something to hang onto.
The weather bureau said
Wednesday evening would be
dry and warm. But the car
presumably could be fitted
with a sliding canvas oof.

School Fund

BY the Associated Press

The Senate Education Sub
committee today approved a
compromise bill proposing a 81
billion, two-year program of
Federal grants to the States
for school construction.
The measure would put up
the money at a rate of $500
million a year starting in the
current fiscal year, on a
matched-fund basis.
The compromise bill, Spon-
sored by Senator Mcnamara,
Democrat of Michigan, and
other Senators, now goes to the
Senate Labor and Public We'll
fare Committee for further
consideration.
Senator Mcnamara released
a statement predicting early
approval by the full commit
tee, the subcommittee parent
group.
The bill calls for distribution
of the money under a formula
considering the wealth and
population of each State in de-
termining how much it would
get.
Committee aides said the
formula would work out to
cover a range of Two Federal
dollars for each State local
dollar in the poorer States, up
to two State-local dollars for
each Federal dollar in the
richer ones.
Conversations which I have
had with members of the full
committee have assured me
that the bill will be favorably
after consideration,
Senator McNamara's statement
said.
Unlike a Democratic -spon-
Sored House bill, the McNa-
mara bill would not allow use
of any of its grants to pay
teac rs salaries.

Cut All Funds l Pct.
For Roads, Gore Asks
Senator Hits
Any Raise
In Gas Tax

Senator Gore, Democrat OF
Tennessee, today proposed
that all fiscal 1860 appropria-
tons be reduced by per cent
and the money used to finance
the interstate highway pro-
gram.
He opposed any Federal tax
increase to pay for the pro-
gram.
In a speech prepared for the
Senate, Senator Gore, co-au-
thor of the 1856 Highway Act,
warned the roads program
could collapse without con-
greSsional action.
The Senator said that a gas
tax increase would foist an I'M
fair burden on highway users.
They already are paying direct
excise taxes each year which
exceed by SIS billion amounts
devoted to highways, he said.
Sees Solution
Senator Gore, a member Of
both the Senate Public Works
and Finance Com mittees,
claimed that the apppropria-
tons cutback could resolve the
highway dilemma alone, or
could be combined with two
other methods.
One would be a direct appro-
priation from the Treasury'S
general fund to the Highway
Trust Fund or a channeling of
more highway user taxes to the
trust fund. The other would be
additional taxes.
Key House Democrats, mean
while. planned to meet later
today to work out a plan to
finance the highway program,
which will come to a stop I'M
less new money is provided.
A new compromise on the
hot issue of raising the Federal
gasoline tax is reported in the
works. This would involve a
12-cent increase in the cur
rent 3-cents-a-gallon gas tax,
instead of a 1-cent increase as
in a proposal before the House
Ways and Means Committee.
President Eisenhower has
asked for a lucent increase,
and no diversion of other taxes
to the highway program.
Meeting Set Today
Democratic members of the
Public Works Committee will
meet today to try to agree on a
plan also satisfactory to the
tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee. If they succeed, a
full committee meeting to
ratlfy the plan is likely in a
day or two.

could in turn take things a bit

ample, have to give a dinner

star stan Writer

An investigation aimed at
recovering more than $500. 900
in tuition from nonresident
school children in the District
today was scheduled by the
House District Committee.
At the request of Represent
alive Broyhill, Republican of
Virginia, Subcommittee Chair
man Matthews, Democrat of
Florida, agreed to hold hear
ings between sessions of Con-
gress. Testimony will be taken
on a bill sponsored by Mr..
Broyhill to require tuition from
all children in District schools
who are not living with guard
ianS or parents.
Current law demands pay
ment if children live here "for
the purpose Of attending
school,"
Law Called Vague
THE existing law is too vague
to be strictly enforced" Mr..
Broyhill explained. School Of
ficials have complained that it
is difficult to determine whether
children are complying with
the letter of the law"
A preliminary survey by COM
mittee staff aide Leonard Hilder
showed that this year some
1,645 nonresident children are
going to school here but only
ia are paying tuition. Thus
1881 youngsters, or SO per cent
of all non-reSidentS, are at
tending classes tuition-free at
the expense of District and
Federal taxpayers, the report
showed. Mr.. Hilder estimated
the cost of lax enforcement at
$384,715 of potential tuition
income.
A major weakness in the pres
ent system is that certificates
of residence are judged by
hundreds of different persons,
including home-room teachers,
class advisers and principals,
according to Mr.. Hilder.
Situation ClOuded

President Hasn't Set
Khrushchev's GREETING

The White House took pains
today to deny that President
Eisenhower has decided against
meeting Nikita S. Khrushchev
at National Airport when the
Soviet Premier arrives for his
mid-September visit.
Showing irritation at pub
lished reports quoting an
unnamed State Department
spokesman, White House Press
Secretary James S. Hagerty
said Mr.. Eisenhower has not
made a decision on this or
other protocol details involv-
ing Mr.. Khrushchev's stay in
Washington.
The reports said that the
Soviet Premier would be re-
garded as a head of govern
ment instead of a chief of
state. This normally would
mean that he would be met
by Vice President Nixon in
stead of Mr.. Eisenhower and
would be relegated to second
class treatment in some other
details, such as receiving a 49,
gun salute instead of 81 guns.
Hagerty Will Tell
when the President tells me
what he is going to do, I will be
very happy to make the an
nouncement.
