The many window.<i on all four sides of the jfermer l.*high Valley Coal Company properly

"In much of the south and we.si:, the REA program became possible only after low cost wholesale power became available from fed¬ eral projects," he added. "Over half a million farm families are still without electricity, most of them in the south and west. Tills new policy will mean a longer wait."

Fine Signs Bill Allowing Referendum
Raps GOP Senators For 'Feeble' Step Toward Revision Of Constitution
More Foreign Aid YHH Follow News Of Russian H-Bomb
HARRISBURG   (IP)—Gov. I.   Fine   yesterday   signed
DENVER (IP-Tli"'oreign Aid Di¬ rector Harold E. Stassen after a long talk with President Eisen¬ hower raised tho possibility that tho Russiasi hydrogen bomb might force a change in the United States overseas military and economlo asslstanc* pro¬ grams.
Stassen was the top caller In a busy morning at the summer White House offices of the Presi¬ dent, who devoted a lot of time to the broad field of foreign co¬ operation.
The foreign operations admin¬ istrator was asked after his meet¬ ing with the President. "Does the hydrogen bomb make any differ¬ ence  In your plans?"
"Yes,    certainly,"    Stassen    re¬ plied.    "That   is   one   Important factor In tho world security bal¬ ance." Greater Strength Needed
He also said It made strength¬ ening tho free nationa militarily and economically more Important. His review of world developments and the U. S. assistance pro¬ grams during the pa-st six months was generally optimistic, although he said the "grave danger of war" was a continuing matter that might continue  for years.
Stassen gave the President a broad picture of what had hap¬ pened under the military and eco¬ nomic aid programs since the Eisenhower administration took office.    In talking with  reporters
U. S. military equipment to co¬ operating nations overseas for tho first six months of 1953 waa larger than the total for all of 1952.
Actually military equipment de¬ liveries for the first half of 1953 amounted to $2,363,000,000. Stas¬ sen said the delivery total for the first half of 19.52 was $880,000,000 and $1,447,000,000 for tho last half of the  year.
He predicted that this country would meet the 1953 goals set Atlantic Treaty organization. Ho at the April meeting of the North .said the Korean truce should make maintenance of the delivery schedule easier.
Reporters asked Stassen to measure the prospects for world peace.
"The peace outlook Ls somewhat brighter than when the President was inaugurated," he replied, "but the grave danger of war, as the President has said. Is a continu¬ ing matter and may well continue for years. That should be the foundation of all of our foreign and   domestic   policies."
On specific countries, and In response to questions, Stassen pointed   out:
1.—The $200,000,000 South Ko¬ rean relief and rehabilitation pro¬ gram is definitely under way with "ships on the hiigh seas" bound for Korea with relief cargoes.
2.—The American aid program accordance   with   plans  made   at

WASHINGTON —President Eisenhower assured worried air power enthusiasts tonight he thinks now, more than ever, that America must build the. beat air force in the world.
The President's remarks were delivered to the pvsenth annual convention of the Air Force Asso¬ ciation by Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott, who said Mr. Eisenhower's cutback in Air Force plans Is subject to reconsideration after the new Joint chiefs of staff complete a restudy of military strategy.
The asfiociation said the restudy is "long overdue" but labeled the joint chiefs incapable of handling It Impartially. The group urged that the job should be done by a new civilian commission free of service or political bifls. No Second Hand Force
Mr. Eisenhower, in a letter to association officials, recalled that he told thom in 1947 that "no real security rests in a second-best Air Torce."
"Those sentiments are as true »odav as they were In 1947," the President   added.   "In   f»ct,  Iflioy
have become even more pertinent"
Talbott told the association the administration's goal of 120 air wings—instead of the 143 previ- ouflly planned by the Truman Ad- ministratfon — is only an interim program pending a fresh look at the whole military picture.
Only after the joint chiefs finish their study, he said, will the ad¬ ministration know how much money  the Air Force will need.
In a policy statement approved unanimously and without debate, the association of 35,000 Air Force ve^;eranB, including many big- name generals, accused members of the Joint chiefs — comprising chiefs of staff ©f Army and Air Force, chief of naval operations, and a chairman—of bias in favor of their own servicea. Urge Oivilran Group
"The group said Mr. Eisenhower should have assigned his military review not to the Joint chiefs but to a permanent, all-civilian com mission, which would call on the Joint chiefs—as well as on top scientists—for advice.
Tlie statement said U.S. policy maker* and  tho  United  Nations
should recognize that "only the threat of inunediato decisive mili¬ tary defeat can dissuade tho So¬ viet tyranny from prodding un¬ witting or unwilling satellites into bloody, expensive local wars'."
For that reason, the association urged the administration to an¬ nounce a clear policy "to unleash tho full force of our air-atomic power against armed force* of aggression In any future Korean- type Communist adventure*."
Gen. Creorge C. Kenney, retired World War U head of tho Far East air forces, was elected pres¬ ident of the association without opiposition. He aucoeeds Arthur F. Kelly, Loa Angeles, who moved to chairman of the board.
Julian B. Rosenthal, New York C!ity, was elected secretary and Samuel B. Hecht of Baltimore and Waahington, treasurer.
Talbott aaid a recent tour along the European rim of the Iron Cur¬ tain convinced him America !fes vulnerable to Soviet air attack. He warned that Russia ia moderniz¬ ing ita air arm with plane* com¬ parable to tho best thi* country now hss.
_L
Republicans stripped the House approved bill of all its provisions for th' simultaneous election of constitutional convention dele¬ gates.
In a statement .-^iccompanying tho signing of the referendum bill, the governor chided Senate Re- {.ubltcans for their stand. Hia atatement said, in part: "Although I would have pre¬ ferred passage by the legislature of the original measure submitted to that body, which would have given the voters an opportunity to adopt a new constitution at an earlier dr.te, I am glad that the present step was taken feeble though  It Is.
Watered-Down
'This measure is a watered- down version of what I had rec¬ ommended, I believe, for the good of tho people, tho betterment of state government and the keeping of party platform pledges."
"Political leadera must learn," the .rjovemor aald, "that political promlaea should bo kept unless circumstances have materially al¬ tered after the promise waa made.
"There la absolutely no doubt that the present state constitution Is antiquated and needs revision or rewriting. Only In this way do I foresee that my successors as governor ma.y b freed of present constitutional limitations."
