Soviets Still Owe Hotel $1,00O From Khrushchev's s Visit Last September

PITTSBURGH, R-Officials of a Pittsburgh hotel are waiting patiently for the Soviet Union to pay a $1,000 bill.
 Manager John Penn of the Carlton House Hotel said the bill was incurred by Soviet neWsmen during Premier Khrushchev's visit to Pittsburgh last September.
 According to Penn, the hotel sent discreet inquiry to the So- viet embassy in Washington about the bill. The Soviet Union claimed it paid the bill in February, Penn said.
 But, he added, the check never arrived and the Reds have pro- missed to send another.

Congress Rejects Ike's Manuver For More Foreign Aid Funds

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower told Congress today the $3,722,3 ,35O,O00 in it's foreign aid bill is too little. He said the cuts from his requests twill jeop- ardize the security of the coun- try"
 The House promptly shouted down the request
 Then in quick order the House formally passed the bill without change mailing down the rejection of the White House plea.
 Now the bill goes to the Senate which is expected to approve the compromise and complete the re- buke to the President.
 In an unusual action, Eisen- hover asked that Congress reject the report of Senate-House nego- tiators who settled on that figure in compromising differences be- tween separate bills passed by the two branches.
 The unusual move tossed up a block for the legislators barrel ing toward adjournment in the middle of next week.
 In a statement issued at the White House, Eisenhower noted that he had repeatedly stated that the full 100000 he asked for foreign aid was vitally needed.

AFL-CIO Board Endorsed The Democratic Ticket

WASHINGTON, R-The AFL- CIO General Board composed of representative of all the Fedora tion's 135 unions today endorsed the Democratic ticket as the best for the United States and the labor movement.
 The board overwhelmingly ap- proved a recommendation made earlier by the 29-man AFL-CIO Executive Council.
 Only Is members of the Coun- cil were present for the endorse ment action.
 One dissenting vote was cast by A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
 The Negro union chief had said earlier there twas not enough difference between Democratic presidential nominee John Ken nedy and Republican nominee Richard Nixon to justify chooS- ing between them.
 Prior to the meeting, a sugges- ton of something less than en- thusiastic solidarity came from Joseph Curran, president of the National Maritime Union, when reporters asked how he feels about Kennedy.
 q am not pleased with him" Curran replied. q never have been pleased with him, and I doubt I will ever be pleased with i him."
 Then, referring to Nixon, u e Republican choice, Curran added: ''I am even less pleased with the other guy.'

 An announcement by the State Department said the United States diplomatic mission at Cui- dad, Trujillo, is being withdrawn.

Second Capital Move Drive Started

ANCHORAGE, lR - A second drive to have the state capital moved from Juneau to western or interior Alaska has swung into high gear here.

Lu1numba Reyerses Himself Again

LEOPOLDVILLE, R Premier Patrice Lumumba whose govern ment only Monday dropped its demand for revision of United Nations operations in the Congo declared today JUN. forces should get out when Belgium's soldiers leave.
 "We will assure order with our own troops and police," Lum- umba told a hastily called news conference. "We don't want to re- place the Belgian military occu- patton with a United Nations oc- cupation"
 According to a timetable sub mitted by Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, the last of the Belgian soldiers should be with drawn by next Monday,
 Lumumba called for simultan- eous withdrawal of the U. N. forces now totaling 17,000 men.
 The statement represents an- other sharp reversal in Lumum- ba's position.
 It was made in the wake of bitter antigovernment rioting on Thursday in front of the modern istic Palace of Culture where, at Lumumba's invitation delegates of 12 African nations were meeting.
 The Congolese leaders bid for prestige among his African neigh bors was seized upon by his pol itical opponents for demonstra- tion Thursday that shocked visit ing delegates.
 Lumumba's steel-helmeted po- lice and soldiers fired shots over mobs shouting "Death to Lum- umba," clubbed demonstrators and beat up foreign newsmen and photographers covering the riots.
 Turmoil ragged outside the Pal ace of Culture, where the con- ference met, as Lumumba stuck to his prepared keynote address:
 "Gentlemen, you are making contact with Congolese reality There is no compromise between liberty and slavery"
 Inside the palace, the grim delegates applauded politely.

section of a proposed compro-
mise Federal aid to education
bill. The provision would au-
thorize 1925 million in Federal
funds annually for three years
to States and local communities
for the construction of schools.
But differences over several
other sections caused the bills
sponsors to abandon practically
all hope Of getting the measure
to the House floor before the

debate on March 10.
The committee planned to
