CHICAGO. Dec. 2 (AP).-
Rosetta Duncan, 58-year-old

Doctors last night gave her a

Panama this week in connec-

Under q 1903 treaty, Panama
leased the zone to the United

purpose Of constructing. op-

marked that q number Of
problems have arisen, some
based on Panama's belief that

Canal May Fly
Panama Flag,
President Hints
By JOHN v. HORNER
Star Stan Writer

President Eisenhower gave
hope to Panama today that rs
flag some day may fly over the
Panama Canal Zone.
This is a goal sought by most
Panamanians. A concession on
this point, it is believed here.
would go far toward easing
strained relations between the
two countries.
Mr.. Eisenhower told his news
conference that while the nag
question had not been placed
before him, he believes there
probably should be some visual
evidence of the fact the United
States recognizes the "titular
sovereignty" Of Panama over
the Canal Zone.
The Panamanian government
formally requested a few days
ago that its flag be permitted
to fly in the zone. The State
Department has had the re-
quest under study, but no de-
cision has been announced.
No Specific Commitment
Mr.. Eisenhower made no spe-
ciflc commitment on the point,
but the tenor of his remarks
was favorable to the small
Latin American country. It is
considered unlikely. however,
that the flag question will be
decided when the United States
makes other concessions to

Record Budget Set
BY Southern Boptists

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 2 (AP)
Baptists adopted a
record budget for mission work
yesterday and named the Rev.
c. E. Autrey Of Fort Worth,
Tex, director of the Home Mis-
sion Boards division of evan
gelism.
The board approved a record
budget of $4,l38, 900 for mission
work in the United States, Cuba
and Panama. That figure ex-
ceeds the current budget by
more than a third of a million
dollars.

evangelism at the Southern
Baptist Seminary in Fort
Worth, succeeds the Rev. Leon

would broaden his 1859 civil
rights program to include the
appointment of Federal voting
registrars, as recommended by
the Civil Rights Commission,
and by reviving the question of
giving the Attorney General
broad power to enforce civil
rights by the use of injunctions.
Hopes for Action
The President said he has not
yet had a final conference with
Attorney General Rogers on the
scope of his 1860 recommenda-
tions. But, in the meantime, he
said he would like to see the
remainder Of his old recon-
mendations enacted into law.
Mr.. Eisenhower also made it
clear he regards as unneces-
sary the controversial loyalty
oath required of applicants for
Government student loans. A
reporter asked the President to
comment on the fact that some
colleges have declined to take
part in the program because of
the loyalty oath.
Understands Resentment
The President said the law
was passed by Congress. and.
while he did not like parts of
1t, he had to carry it out. He
said he is personally willing to
take an oath each morning
that he is not a Communist,
and does not advocate over
throw of the Government.
But he added that when the
Evening star., 1959-12-02

the President indorsed again
today, would:
Punish anyone using force
or threats to block court de-
cisions in school integration
cases; give the FBI more au-
thority to deal with bombing
of churches, schools or other
public places; preserve voting
records and open them to Fed
eral inspection; extend tempo
rary financial aid to communi-
ties trying to integrate their
schools; provide school facil-
tiles for children of service
men on military posts, and
set up by law an equal job
opportunity board.
Evening star., 1959-12-02

Government singles out a par
ticular group to take such an
oath. he can understand why
they resent it.
The President pointed out
that when persons become citi-
zens, or take public office. they
swear to defend the country
against all enemies, foreign
and domestic, and, in his opin-
ion, this general citizenship
oath should be sufficient. ,
Rights Battle Likely
The last session of Congress
acted on only one Eisenhower
civil rights proposal, extending
the life Of the Civil Rights
Commission for two years. Sem
ate leaders have agreed to face
the issue again about February
Is, however, and it promises to
be an election-year battle royal
between Northern liberals and
Southern conservatives.
In connection with the con-
dition of the budget, the Presi-
dent agreed that the loss Of
revenue resulting from the
steel strike has left in a pre-
carious position the prospect
for a balance of income and
outgo in this fiscal year.
Notes Rising Interest
He revealed that he has been
conferring with department
heads to see where savings can
be made to Offset the decline
in revenues in fiscal 1860.
Looking ahead. he said,
Evening star., 1959-12-02

tries for sale at commisSaries
and military post exchanges in
the Canal Zone.
The new policy will assure
the purchase of more supplies

establishments.
Evening star., 1959-12-02

everyone should strive for a
balanced budget in 1861. Mr..
Eisenhower pointed out that
the budget has grown so big
that the Government today is
spending more on the one item
of interest on the debt than it
spent for all of the expenses of
Government in 1910.
The regular appropriations
in fiscal 1910 amounted to $8.7
billion. For this year the in
terest charge alone exceeds So
billion.
The President said those
figures should mean something
to every taxpayer who is think
ing not only about current ex-
penSeS, but the value of his old
age insurance payment.
Mr.. Eisenhower said I'VE are
trying to do many things tEat
are not completely necessary"
and an effort should be made
to put of some of them until
the Government gets its fiscal
affairs in better order.
Seeks Farm Formula
On the farm problem. the
President said his adminiStra-
ton has been trying for seven
years to get action on a for
mula that would be better than
current remedies. He said he
expects to have some recon-
mendations for Congress that
will free agriculture from
