Replaces Dulles
Senate Okays
Merter, 93-0
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate br-ushed aside a no-hurry
rule Tuesday and whisked
through by a 93-0 vote its con
firmation of Christian A. Her-
ter as secretary of state.
This cleared the way for 'the
suave, scholarly, 64-year-old Her-
ter to take over with full au
thority from cancer-stricken
John Foster Dulles.
The reason for the rush is that
Herter leaves Monday for Paris
to take part in a free world for
eign ministers’ conference in
preparation for East-West talks
on the touch-and-go German sit
uation.
President Eisenhower formal
ly nominated Herter, who has
been Dulles No. 2 man, for the
top State Department spot only
Monday. Under Senate rules such
a nomination can’t be confirmed
in less than six days. The Senate
waived this rule in view of Her-
ter’s imminent responsibilities.
Confirmation came only a few
hours after Herter Avon an ex
pected unanimous vote of ap
proval from the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. Herter,
with the metal crutches he wears
because of arthritis, appeared be
fore the committee to answer
questions on his views.
The only serious quizzing he
got came from Sen. Wayne
Morse, D-Ore., who posed a ser
ies of “if” questions centering
on: Would this counti’y resort to
nuclear warfare if the Soviets
started shooting down American
planes on the corridor to Beidin?
“Not necessarily,” was Her-
ter’s prompt response.
Morse then asked: “Is it your
position we would then be free
and should proceed to all-out war
with Russia, encompassing the
dropping of nuclear and hydro
gen bombs?”
“No, sir, I don’t believe in the
initial stages such a course would
be justified,” Herter answered.
But he added quickly: “if it be
came clear Russia was resorting
to all-out war, I think we would
have to consider a change in our
position.”
Herter is a former member of
Congress and has served as gov
ernor of Massachusetts. Former
White House aide Harold E.
Stassen boomed him for the
Republican vice-presidential nom
ination in 1956 but Herter said
he wasn’t interested.
Dulles, who was among those
proposing Herter as his succes
sor, Tuesday would up a week
of X-ray treatments for a pos
sible cancerous condition that
may have spread from his intest
ines to his neck. The State De
partment said there was no
change in his condition.

$20 Million Cut
Texas House
AUSTIN (AP)—Texas House
members sliced Tuesday another
20 million dollars from the now
much-amended general tax pro
posal.
Meanwhile, in the senate,
teachers pay raises got a cold
shoulder because of the state’s
empty pocketbook.
Both houses quit until Wed
nesday morning — three short
weeks from the May 12 adjourn
ment.
In two days of debate, the
House has amended the general
tax bill recommended by its
House Revenue and Taxation
Committee (HB72'7) to add $14,-
142,500 in new taxes. At the
same time representatives have
approved changes tha would take
$3,911,000 from the measure.
More than half of the bill re
mains to be debated, then substi
tute measures will be offered.
The Senate took note of the
House situation Tuesday when it
refused by a 16-15 vote to take
up the 123 million dollar Hale-
Aikin school package. The bill
(SB5) centers on an $800 a year
teachers pay raise.
“Trying to bring this up now
is utterly wrong,” protested vete
ran Sen. R. A. Weinert, Seguin.
“We don’t even have a tax bill
over here. No one knows how
much the tax bill is going to
raise. This is going at it just
backwards.”
Sen. A. M. Aikin Jr., Paris,
author of the measure, said the
failure to get the two-thirds vote
for debate wa^ a setback but he
would make another attempt at
the first opportunity.
A section of the general tax
bill that would give teachers a
$396 annual pay raise may be
reached in House debate Wednes
day.
The biggest cut yet in the gen
eral tax bill was made when Rep.
R. L. Strickland, San Antonio,
succeeded in attaching an amend
ment that would eliminate consid
eration of indebtedness in figur
ing a corporation’s state fran
chise tax. A motion to table the
amendment lost 101-38.
Rep. Jack Connell, Wichita
Falls, succeeded in hooking a
new oil tax to the bill. His plan
to levy 15 cents a barrel on the
storage of foreign oil imported
to Texas was pased by a voice
vote. He estimated it would
raise $821,250 a year. Rep. Frates
Seelingson, San Antonio, predict
ed the tax was unconsitutional.
About 214 million dollars was
cut by removing taxation of
radio and television tubes and
parts and toilet articles from one
section of the bill.

Home Office—Bloomington, Illinois^
Macmillan has issued two state
ments in the last few days de
signed to help close the gap in
Anglo-American relations caused
by differing approaches to nego
tiations with the Soviet Union.
The British press and some
members of the political opposi
tion have been demanding that
Macmillan make representations
to the United States against con
tinued provocation of Russia by
high-altitude flights into Berlin.
The issue has been used as a
pet for expression of resentment
that President Eisenhower has
appeared to side more with the
tough line of West Germany and
France than with the open-the-
door policy of. Macmillan.
The United States, through a
State Department spokesman,
has publicity regretted the “tim
idity” expressed by the British
press.
The whole business tended to
create the impression that Brit
ain was approaching the point
where she wanted peace at al
most any price.
At that point Macmillan stepp
ed in. He has felt that his desire
to probe every possible avenue
of agreement with Moscow was
being misunderstood.
Britain seeks pacification by
negotiation and agreement, he
said, but “must never yield to
pressure or follow the path of
what used to be called appease
ment.”
Government sources let it be
known that Macmillan and the
Cabinet sympathized with feel
ing in Washington that it would
be bad business, on the eve of
negotiations with the Commun
ists, to submit to Soviet pres
sures.
The one position on which the
Western Allies seem to be truly
agreed is that the U. S. S. R. will
not be permitted to make unilat
eral changes in the status of
West Berlin and the city’s com
munications with the West.
The Soviet complaints about
high-flying American planes in
the corridor are believed to be
something of a test of this Al
lied position.
The Allies and Soviets are in
a period of maneuver and test.
Each side has been trying to find
out about the other’s intentions
and firmness.
In this period of test, Macmil
lan has joined with President
Eisenhower in a new proposal
designed on the surface to pro
vide a new approach to some
agreement on the banning of
atomic testing. It’s ultimate ef
fect seems likely to be to force
the Russians into a new re
jection.
Nevertheless, Macmillan’s sup
port of the President on the two
points will serve, as the Geneva
conference approaches, to take
some of the edge from the criti
cism which has been flying back
and forth across the Atlantic.

State University, the research
worker is now studying here for
his doctor’s degree, and is doing
research relating to pigmenta
tion of broilers and color in egg
yolks.
This work is tied closely to the
average housewife’s preference
for yellow-tinged broilers and
yellow color in egg yolks. Pale
white broilers and light colored
eggs, it seems, just don’t sell as
well although Williams says there
is little if any nutritional, differ
ence between them and the more
yellow broilers or eggs.
Williams joined the A&M staff
in September, 185, as a research
assistant in the poultry science
and biochemistry laboratory.
