The Outside World:
House 'Junhs' Soil Bank
Secretary of Agriculture Benson returned to Capitol Hill to salvage
what he can of his bobtailed soil bank program. ,
In a political revolt sparked by Democratic foes of the Eisenhower
administration's farm policies, the House voted 192-187 to kill Benson's
yearling plan to subsidize surplus crop reduction this year.
The House action was a blow to the administration's program for
reducing farm surpluses. It found Republicans as well as Democrats
blaming Benson for what they called waste and mismanagement.
In the wake of 'the House uprising, Benson was summoned to
appear before the House Agricultural Committee to propose entirely
new farm legislation.
Nebraska farm spokesmen generally feel that the soil bank pro
gram should be given more chance to work before it is scuttled as
the House has voted.
They also agree that it needs to be strengthened to do an effective
job.
But among state politicians there is no accord on the House action
in denying funds to operate the soil bank in 1958.
State Democratic Chairman Willard Townsend of Lincoln lays
the blame on Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson.
The secretary "has accomplished what he set out to do; for the
most part, he has destroyed the farm program as it was without
offering any solution to the problem," Townsend said.
Tornado Rips Texas
A tornado that blew through the panhandle town of Silverton
Texas, killed 20 residents, many of them children, and injured a score
more. Tne tornado destroyed or damaged 60 or more homes and
business places.
More than 20 tornados lashed Texas during Wednesday night
causing heavy property damage to the tornado tossed, flooded state.
Silverton, a small town of 857, is 65 miles southeast of Amarillo,
Texas.
The Silverton tornado climaxed the 28th straight day of violent
weather in Texas.
Submarine Launched
Under Secretary of the Navy, William Franke launched what he
called "the first of the 'assembly line' " atomic submarines, the USS
Skate, at Groton, Connecticut.
Franke said the launching of the Skate, third of the nuclear pow
ered undersea craft, "marks the end of the era of research and proto
type development."
The other two submarines, the Nautilus and Seawolf, also Vere
built at the yards.
The Skate, said Franke, "will soon be considered the conventional
attack submarine."
U.S. Loses Opportunity
A House foreign affairs subcommittee said that what it called fail
ure of the free world and United States to take positive action in the
Hungarian revolt "constitutes the lost opportunity of our generation."
The committee called for restudy and revision of U.S. strategy In
possible future satellite uprising, suggested get-tough steps against
the Sovitt Union as long as it defies the United Nations on Hungary,
and recommended creation of a permanent, mobile force of U.N.
observers.
Britain Tests H-Bomb
British newspapers declared Britain's first hydrogen bomb test had
restored the nation's independence of the United States and increased
its stature as a world power.
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan told the House of Commons
Britain has succeeded in building a hydrogen bomb with "almost neg
ligible fallout."
Asian nations quickly expressed regret about the blast, exploded
in the Christmas Island area of the Pacific. But U.S. officials wel
comed the news as contributing to allied strength by making Britain
the world's third full-fledged nuclear power, along with Russia and
the United States.
Reports from Washington said, however, the British H-blast was
considered certain to result in new pressure on both the British and
American governments to call off future atomic weapons tests.
Hati Turmoil Violent
Haiti's political turmoil grew more violent.
Ten thousand farmers armed with knives blockaded the road to the
capital of Port Au Prince to keep out food supplies. Arson and
sabotage were increasing. The government said troops and police were
battling armed demonstrators in many communities to put down "a
state of terror."
Army headquarters in Haiti said the situation was critical.
The capital itself remained comparatively quiet.

loves to cut loose and cover the miles!
If you're looking for a real "escape artist,''
a car that loves to step out and get
away from it all well, it just happens
that Chevy was born with that urge.
If there ever was a car that loved to
cut loose and cover the miles, it's this
one. Yet it's so easy to handle that it
even makes city traffic seem a bit
lighter and parking pjaces a bit bigger.
Chevy's pretty easygoing out on the
highway too. Not pokey. Far from it.
You find, for example, there isn't a hill
around that can make it breathe hard
not with Chevrolet's high-performance
V8 on the pulling end. You've got
up to 245 horsepower here for the
biggest helping of driving pleasure found
in the low-price field!
Chevy's new Positraction rear axle
(optional at extra cert) adds still more
pleasure. It delivers greater power to
the wheel that grips, not the wheel that
slips. You have surer control and better
traction on any road surface.
Stop by your Chevrolet dealer's
before another good driving day goes by.
