Tie did not intend to "abandon" the
principles for which he has fought
in Congress for the past 1 years

ed him in his three unsuccessful

members of Congress who hav:
carried on the fight against "Tru-

Taft said he is satisfied that Eis-

Taft said he and Eisenhower did
not agree on foreign policy, but
that the differences were "differ-

Lyndon Johnson
Plane Cracks Up
In Flood Region
MCALLEN, Sept. 12—UP—Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas nar-
rowly escaped possible injury or
death in the rampaging Central
Texas flood when his Piper Cub
plane cracked up on takeoff from
a washed-out highway.
The Democratic senator had
flown from Edinburg, where he
was visiting Rep. Lloyd M. Bent-
sen Jr., for whitewing hunting when
a half dozen Texas rivers and
streams overflowed after torrential
rains. Johnson City, the senator's
home, was among the towns iso-
lated.
Johnson and Bentsen flew to the

Republican attacks on the adminis
tration Friday.
The exchange between Acheson
| and his GOP critics could amount
to a sizeable roadblock in the road
toward bipartisan formulation of
U.S. policies abroad after the Nov-
ember elections.
In a speech Thursday night in
Kansas City, Aciieson charged that
Republican interest in a "more pos-
itive, dynamic and bold" foreign
policy does not mesh with the
GOP's past legislative record. He
challenged Republicans to a "res-
ponsible" debate without "glitter-
ing adjectives."

Some Streams Receding
Boiling Cibola creek and the Co-
mal, San Marcos and Pedernales
rivers, along with the Blanco and
Guadalupe, were slowly receding
after reaching record-breaking
crests and flooding some 74,000
acres.
Rain, which pelted a wide area
of Texas from the Gulf Coast to
225 miles inland to the northwest,
and was unofficially measured in
the Central Texas area at 22.9
inches, stopped early Friday.
Cuero and Victoria were still in
the path of the Guadalupe, down-
stream from Gonzales. But on the
Big Colorado river, into which most
of the flooded rivers except the
Blanco and Guadalupe flow, an ex-
tensive chain of large dams began
absorbing the flood as the crest
roared seaward.
Lake Travis, one of the huge
lakes held back by the Lower Colo-

dams, rose 35 feet in seven hours.
