Battle Over Higher Interest Rates ReQUeSt AuthorftV IfO
For Long-Term Loans Grows Hotter
By SAM DAWSON ,
AP Business News Analyst
NEW YORK AP — The battle
over higher interest rates for
long-term loans grows hotter just
as the scramble for short-t e r m
ones eases up a bit.
The long-term borrowing issue
is before Congress, where U. S.
Treasury deb t-manage!ment poli
cies are under fire, and among
home builders, who insist that
tight money and high interest
charges are holding down home
building.
'Ihe short-term interest fluctua
tions also involve the Treasury,
since the cost of its borrowing
went down for five weeks and
then up again this week. This af
fects businessmen seeking bank
loans tor comparatively short pe
riods and also investors wanting
to put temporarily idle cash to
work for short periods.
The laymen may be excused his
considerable confusion when he
sees one set wanting to raise in
terest rates while in another di
rection they are falling.
Sam Lyle Signed as
Top Assistant to
Gamecocks Staff
COLUMBIA AP — Melvin E.
Sam Lyle, former head coac'.i
of the Edmonton Eskimoes in
the Canadian Professional Foot
ball League, will join the Uni
versity of South Carolina staff
as top assistant.
Head Coach Warren Giese an
nounced today that Lyle, former
assistant coach at the Universi
ty of Flordia, will replace Mar
vin Bass, who recently resigned
from the Gamecock staff to join
the Georgia Tech staff.
Lyle, a native of El Dorado,
Ark., was a star end for Louisi
ana State University in 1947-48-
49. He was named to the All-
Southeastern Conference team
during his senior year. He cap
tained the 1949 LSU team that
went to the Sugar Bowl.
Lyle coached the freshman
team at LSU in 1950 and then
went to Georgia Tech as end
coach from 1951 to 1953, serving
under Bobby Dodd.
In 1955 he joined the Oklahoma
staff under Bud Wilkinson and
remained there until he accepted
the head coaching job at Edmon
ton for the 1958 season. His Ed
monton team was runner-up to
Winnipeg that year for the divi
sion championship.
But borrowing costs are at the
mercy of changing money mar
kets. They differ widely from time
to time as the supply and demand
for money varies. They also re
act to current circumstances that
make long-term or short-term bor
rowing attractive to investors.
The Treasury says its problem
is very real. This fall it must re
fund 5% billion dollars of long
term debt coming due and by the
fall of 1961 18% billioni more.
Long term dobt has a way of get
ting shorter each year, and for
practical purposes these are short
term issus right now.
Congress to Continue Airborne aiert
Big Troubles Are
Caused by Monroe
By BOB THOMAS
AP Movie-TV Writer
HOLLYWOOD AP — A movie
with Marilyn Monroe is getting
to be quite a project, as 20th
Century-Fox is finding out. It
now requires a two-platoon sys
tem.
The fabulous blonde’s presence
in the “Let’s Make Love” set
.8 unpredictable. Last week her
maid called the studio two days
lut of five and reported that
Miss Monroe was not feeling well
and could not report for work.
Even when she is on the set,
her availability for shooting can
be a question. Sometimes the
company doesn’t get the first
shot until late morning or after
noon.
Two sets of actors stand by
for duty. If MM is present, her
scenes are shot. If she is absent,
scenes without her are made.
The trouble is that the studio is
running out of scenes without
her.
This system can be wearing on
the other actors. Tony Randall
has reported to work day after
day without performing. One
day he got a four-hour nap. On
another day, he did his first
scene at 5 p.m. “When the di
rector sees the rushes, he says,
‘How come you haven’t got
that old zing, Tony?”’ the actor
cracked.
Director George Cukor re
tains an outward calm, unlike
Billy Wilder and Otto Premin
ger. The latter two have been
sounding off about MM’s work
habits lately. Cukor, who has
directed such gals as Kathar
ine Hepburn, Judy Garland ar^
Garbo, says phiUosophicaBy f
“Things are never as bad ^
they seem.”
An end to rock ‘n’ roll? Ricky
Nelson doesn’t see it. He may be
prejudiced, having earned six
gold records with r ‘n’ r.

Religious Leaders
Ask for Clean and
Free Election
NEW YORK AP — Some of
America’s key religious leaders
have appealed to politicians and
voters to keep the 1960 campaign
clean and free of interfaith prej
udice.
H i g h - r a nking Protestant,
.leaders issued the appeal Mon
day through the National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews.
“Democracy can be betrayed
by religious discrimination or by
dishonest and unfair practices in
political campaigns,” said the
Rev. Dr. Edwin T. Dahleberg of
St. Louis, president of the Na
tional Council of Churches.
The council is the nation’s
■largest Protestant and Eastern
Orthodox group.
WASHINGTON AP — The Air
Force wants Congress to spell out
clearly the President’s authority
to order a continuous airborn
alert of big bombers in an
emergency.
Sens. Leverett Saltonstall R-
Mass and Dennis Chavez D-NM
said Monday the language of last
year’s defense budget permitted
the President to spsnd up to 600
million dollars next year and up
to a billion for each of the next
two years if neees.sary.
Secretary of the Air Force Dud
ley C. Sharp agreed the present
law seems to have that effect, but
said Congress should make this
perfectly clear even if it has to
write it into the law.

nated Lost Cove Creek in the Dan
iel Boone refuge area and Lower
South Mills River in the Pisgah
Forest area as experimental loca
tions for self—sustaining “native

Kennedy to Run in
Wisconsin Primary
By HARVEY BREUSCHER
MADISON, Wis. AP — Sen.
jJohn F. Kennedy D-Mass today
pledged a positive, constructive
campaign he hopes will win Wis
consin’s Democratic presidential
preference primary election and
carry him through the November
elections and into the White
House.
•‘Let me make it completely
clear right now,” he said, “that
I do not intend to attack my Dem
ocratic opponent,” Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey D-Minn.
“This is not a campaign against
anyone,” he added, “this is a cam
paign for the presidency.”
Kennedy made his remarks at
a news conference that opened a
three-day tour of Wisconsin. Ear
ly in the day he was at the gates
of the Oscar Mayer Co., meat
packing plant in Madison, to shake
hands with workers.
£
He left later in the morning on
a trip planned to include more
than 20 appearances in llWiscon-
sin counties. The state’s primary
will be held April 5.
Kennedy said Vice President
Richard M. Nixon’s plan to enter
the Wisconsin GOP primary will
give Republicans “a place to go.”
“I assume the reason Mr. Nix
on is running in the primary is
to give Republican voters a place
to go,” Kennedy said in answer
to a newsman’s question.
Kennedy and Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey D-Minn are contend
ing in Wisconsin.
Humphrey said he welcomed
Nixon’s entry and added that the
primary could well be the testing
ground of the battle between Re
publicans and Democrats for the
victory in November.

Billy Graham’s
Answer to Race
Problems in Africa
SALISBURY, Rhodesia AP —
Billy Graham believes “knowl
edge of the love of God” is the
key to the race problem in Afri
ca.
“I do not wish to get mixed up
in politics,” Graham told news
men on the eve of a two-week
tour of Britain’s Central Africa
Federation, “but I believe the ul
timate solution to the color prob-
simple knowledge of the love of
lem here and in South Africa is
God.”
Graham recalled that the race
question existed in the time of
Christ.
“In Corinth, St. Paul found all
sorts of evils—including racial
ism,” the evangelist said.
Graham said he had been in
vited to South Africa but is not
going “because my team encoun
tered difficulties over arrange
ments.” It v/as reported that au
thorities in the white suprema
cist state had refused to allow
him to address mixed audiences.
Graham said aU his meetings
throughout the world had been
open to everyone, regardless of
race.
“Even at Little Rock, con
gregations were mixed, and I
see no reason why we should
change our stand for this part
of the world, “he said, adding
that he intends to go to South
Africa within the next few years.
Sharp and Gen. Thomas D.
White, Air Force chief of staff,
were testifying before the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
They conceded that only 9D mil
lion dollars is provided in the cur
rent defense budget to prepare
for an airborn alert. Gen. Thomas
S. Power, head of the Strategic
Air Command, contends such an
would guard against all bombers
being destroyed on the ground by
any sneak missile attack.
White and Sharp pointed out,
however, that the bill also pro
vides that the President may
spend whatever is necessary to
set up an airborn alert and come
back to Congress for more money
later.
Asian Flu Strikes
More Teenagers
Than Older People
Bv FRANK CAREY
BETFESD'V. AP — Asian
flu strikes heaviest among teen
agers. possibly because of t^e
crowded setup of modern -*m“ri-
can schools, a Public Health Serv
ice researcher said today.
Dr. Alexander D. Lan?muir of
the service’s Communicable Dis
ease Center, Atlanta. Ga., said
that was the American experience
noted during the epidemic of
1957-1958.
In report prepared for the First
International Conference on Asian
Flu—attended by scientists from
five foreign countries including
the Soviet Union—Dr. Langmuir
summarized studies of the 1S57
outbreak.
“Incidence of disease wns rela
tively low in pre-school children,”
he said. “It rose in grammar
school children and reached a
peak among those of high school
ages and young adults. Then the
rates dropped abruptly among
older adults.”
“The modern American system
of education, particularly the
crowded consolidated high school
which is now almost universal
throughout the country, and its
system of school bus transporta
tion, probably permits a maximum
of transmission among teenage
groups,” he added.
