LONDON (AP) — Aneurin
Bevan, deputy leader of Brit-
ain’s Labor party and one of
the great selfmade men of
British public life, died to-
day. He was 62.
Bevan underwent a major ab-
dominal operation last Dec. 29 In
a London hospital and had been
confined in his rural home since
leaving the hospital Feb. 14.
Altough the nature of his ail-
ment has not been disclosed offici-
ally it was generally believed to
have been cancer.
With Bevan at the end was his
wife, Jennie Lee, a prominent La-
bor party figure herself and a
member of Parliament.
A Labor party spokesman said
Bevan died peacefully at 1:20 p.m.
at his home V91 of London.
Bevan, a fighting Socialist with
a fiery tongue, stirred up revolt
and controversy within his own
Labor party for years and delight-
ed in tweaking Uncle Sam’s nose.
He was the party’s spokesman
on foreign affairs, and had Labor
won the last election he would
have been foreign secretary.
In recent years, however, he
underwent a subtle change as the
loyal No. 2 man to the moderate,
party leader Hugh Gaitskell.
When the party went down le
defeat again in last October's
elections he ignored the opportun-
ity again to lead a militant re-
volt of the leftwingers for a thor-

AGGRESSIVENESS
The Cabinet said the expropria-
tion iwas authorized because of
"the constantly aggresive atti-
tude” of the U.S. government and
particularly the authority given
President Eisenhower by Congres
to reduce Cuba's sugar sales to
the United States.
Underlining the retaliatory na-
ture of the action, the decree
pinned compensation for the
seized property directly to Amer-
ican sugar purchases.
It said the American owners
would be paid in 2-per cent, 30-
year Cuban government bonds
backed by a special fund. But the
fund is to come from 25 per cent
of the dollars paid for sugar sales
to the United States in excess of
3 million tons a year and at a
price of 5% cents a pound or
more.

dealt also with these other mat-
ters:
BUDGET—Eisenhower declared
it will be a miracle if the four-bil-
he estimated for the fiscal year
which started July 1 is now real-
ized.
Prospects for a surplus of that
size have been dashed, the Presi-
dent said, by the failure of Con-
gress to meet his request for high-
er taxes on gasoline and for an
increase in postal rates.
ECONOMY - So far as he
knows, Eisenhower said, the fact
that steel production is atabout
50 per cent of capacity provides
the only grounds for predictions
by some economists that the
country is headed for a new re-
cession.
Actually, Eisenhower said, 50
per cent of capacity today is com-
parable to 75 per cent a few years
ago because of the big increase
in production facilities.
Eisenhower said the rate of
steel production immediately aft-
er the strike settlement early this
year was nothing short of aston-
ishing.
CAMPAIGN — Eisenhower said
that at present his only plans for
participation in the presidential
and cogressional election cam-
paigns are a speech at the GOP
National Convention i n Chicago
the evening of July 26, and a
breakfast there the next morning.
But in making that statement
he did not rale out possible addi-
tional activity in the fall.
PRESIDENTIAL AGE — Asked
for his views regarding the age of
presidents, a question already fig-
uring in this year’r pre-convention
with a smile that if he serves out
his curret second term he will
become the oldest president-in-of-
fice in history.
He will pass that milestone next
Oct. 3—outstripping Andrew Jack-
son. Eisenhower will be 70 Oct.

Eisenhower recalled that while
president he has suffered three
serious illnesses. He said he
doesn't feel that those illnesses
have been any decisive factor in
his handling of his job.
Chuckling a bit, he went on to
say that sometimes he may doubt
his own intellectual judgment but
he never doubts his own heart—
that is, his determination to do
the right thing.
NUCLEAR TESTS—Despite dif-
ficulties in reaching agreement
with Russia, the Presideht said,
the United States and Britain
should continue to. make every ef-
fort to corrie to some understand-
ing regarding a ban on nuclear
weapons tests.
NEW PRESIDENT - Eisenhow.
er pledged that his successor in
the White House will have his full
cooperation in the transition from
one administration to the other.
The new man, Eisehower said.
Eisenhower was asked at*
his news conference whether
he agrees with a statement
by Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson
(D-Tex) that the United States
might look for the establishment of
such a base.
The President said he was not
going to make any guesses about
such a possibility. Such things are
always possible in this world. he
said, but he doesn't see much
likelihood.
As to what the United States
might do in such an event, Eisen-
hower drew attention to the Ca-
racas resolution for mutual de-
fense of the Western Hemisphere,
and to the machinery of the Or-
ganization of American Slates
Eisenhower said the OAS would
no doubt come Into play but that
in its own interest this country
might have to act as it saw fit.
NOT IN DETAIL
Eisenhower said he did not
want to talk at the moment in de-
tail about what U.S. policy might
be in view of the Fidel Castro
government's new law for expro-
priation of American property.
He said the new sugar- bill, giv-
ing him authority to cut the Cu-
ban quota, reached his desk along
with reports and studies by the
appropriate departments only a
few minutes before the news con-
ference. He said he thought some-
thing would be said on this sub-
ject either later today or Thurs-
day
Eisenhower said this country is
trying hard to have the Cubans
understand that there is no quar-
rel between the people of this
country and them but that the dif-
ficulties are caused only by what
he called the inexplicable actions
of their government.
PREMIUM*
The discussion came up as Ei-
senhower was reported prepared
to slash U.S. sugar imports from
Cuba which have paid big premi-
ums to Cuban growers.

THIRD BALLOT
The Texas senator said his
backers have told him a third-
ballot victory is possible, but he
added he feels no one can predict
with certainty of which ballot the
decision will come
Chapman said the third ballot
“will be crucial,” and added in
an interview: “That will be the
keystone. The break in Kennedy's
strength will begin to take place
on the third ballot.”
He said the fourth or fifth bal-
lot should bring a Johnson vic-
tory, depending on the sharpness
of what happens on the third.
Johnson himself said he does
not know. how many first-ballot
votes he will have, but “my
friends tell mF I will have in ex-
cess of 500 and my leading op-
ponent will have less than 600.
and I believe this is correct.”

Th latest Associated Press poll
of delegates show Kennedy with
540% votes as the front runner,
and Johnson next with 231. Others

as potential kingmakers in the

Out of the din of conflicting

that if the two big—and nominally

THEIR MAN’S OFFICIALLY IN THE RACE—AT LAST
These Ladies For Lyndon Are Betty Cason, Delores Stacks of Houston
WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Eisenhower today rejected
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller’s contention that America’s
military strength has deteriorat-
ed.
At a news conference, the Pres-
ident also accused Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev of very
crude attempts to interfere in this
country’s presidential campaign.
Eisenhower voiced confidence
that neither Democrats nor the
Republicans will find the Kremlin
leader’s advice of any value.
As for Rockefeller, Eisenhower
was reminded that the Republi-
can governor has been critical of
the administration in the econom-
ic as well as military fields, and
has contended that U.S. military
strength has declined while Rus-
sia's has increased.
The President commented that
since 1953 he has sent eight budg-
ets to Congres. Five, he said,
were cut by Congress and three
increased—in each case in elec-
tion years.
The President said that by and
large the Democratic - controlled
Congresses have agreed with his
Republican administration on mil-
itary spending.
It is true, Eisenhower went on,
that some individuals get deeply
concerned about our defense posi-
tion. and some get worried.
As for Rockefeller, he is en-
titled to his opinions and has a
right to express them. Eisenhow-
er added that h doesn't think
such views will wreck the Repub-
lican party.
The President then said Rocke-
feller's views are his own—and
they are not Eisenhower’s.
In this news conference, his
first in eight weeks, Eisenhower
