His Wedding
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep.
Quentin N. Burdick (D-ND), 52,
finally feeling he has won a sen-
ate seat, happily talked about his
wedding plans Thursday night.
The North Dakota Democrat
said he and Jocelyn Peterson will
be married Thursday at bar Fargo,

agreed in advance the North Da-
kota race might be a portent of J
Midwestern political sentiment in
this presidential election year.
Burdick, a tall, muscular figure
who carried the legacy of a fa-
mous North Dakota political name,
only two years ago became the
first Democrat elected to the
House from North Dakota.
Only four times before has a
Democrat been sent to the Senate
in 71 years of North Dakota state-
hood Three were appointed or
named by the Legislature . John
Moses won in 1944 with a powerful .
assist from Republicans who de-
fected from the Nonpartisan
League.
The current election was held to
fill the remaining 4% years of the
late Sen William Langer’s term
Burdick’s apparent victory was
achieved in spite of a powerful
GOP national effort to help his op-
ponent, the war hero governor.

ous' names, Vice President Rich-

WASHINGTON (AP) —Congress
sent a $39,996 608.000 'defense mon-

Thursday night. The total is $661,-

The measure, a compromise of

Convention.

H Humphrey (D-Minn),-Steven
son was asked if he would have
any objection to seeing his name
placed before the convention
which convenes in Los Angeles
July 11. .
. “On the basis of my ex-
perience so far," Stevenson re-
plied, ‘‘I don't think it would
make any difference."
Pressed by newsmen to state
definitely whether he has any ob-
jections he added. "No, I don't
really.”
Stevenson, who was the demo-
crats' unsuccessful presidential
nominee in 1952 and 1956, has said
he is not a candidate for the nom-
ination again this year, but he
also has said he would not evade
a draft.

Stevenson was asked about a
prediction by Sen. A. S Mike
Monroney (D.Okla) that the for-
mer Illinois governor would have
77 votes on the first convention

e’That’sound, opfinnistie,” Ste-
venson .said I’re flattered. . I’m
just an innocent bystander." *
When he arrived for the party
Stevenson commented to report-
ers: ′ "I don’t think you’ll ever
hear any more about my Candi-
dacy than you’ve already heard."
'‘I'm here to beat the tambour-
ine for Hubert Humphrey," he
added.
The cocktail party "for Hum-
phrey was unique in that all the
leading candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination attended to help

House, heeding administration
pleas for fast, action, Thursday
night voted President Eisenhower
authority to slash Cuba’s sugar
quotas.
The roll-can vote was 394-0.
The action sent to the Senate
a bill extending the Sugar Act for
one year—to Dec. 31, 1961.
The House vote followed angry
denunciation of Cuba's Prime
Minister Fidel Castro—including
a demund by one member that if
necessary the United States oc-
cupy the Caribbean island.
Rep L Mendel Rivers (D-SC)
also called for immediate retalia-
tion for Cuban seizures of Ameri-
can holdings.
"We should impose immediate
strong sanctions on Castro," Riv-
ers shouted.
The Eisenhower administration
asked authority to establish the
Cuban sugar quota for the bal-
ance of 1960 and for 1961 at such
levels as the President finds to
be -in the national interest.
At present the United States
is buying about 3% million tons
of sugar a year from Cuba, one
of the world's major producers.
This is more than half the Cuban .
crop.
To protect domestic producers,
this country is paying Cuba a
premium of about two cents a
pound above the world market
price.
This U.S. subsidy is worth about -
150 million dollars yearly to Cuba. ”
Rep J. Vaughan Gary (D-Va)
complained bitterly that the Soviet
Union is paying less for Cuban
sugar than this country. He urged
that this be corrected, declaring:
"I for one am not willing to pay
more than the Russians are pay-
ing.".
