Main like Works On South American Program Program By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH NEWPORT R.I, (AP) President Eisenhower, seeking Latin American support for the toughening United States policy on Cuba, is working on a new southof the border aid program.

The summer White House announced Friday that the President and Secretary of State Christian A. Herter hope to complete a preliminary draft of the program when they confer here Monday. Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty told a news conference: "The President has been working with the Secretary of State for some time on a comprehensive plan to be submitted to the economic ministers of the American states at Bogota Colombia in September in the hope of making more effective our mutual cooperative work in raising the living and social standards of our respective populations. "The plan will deal particularly with methods for making United States participation more Hagerty declined to go into any detail.

His statement left open the possibility of additional economic aid to Latin American countries. But he said he could not discuss that in advance of the President's meeting with Herter. Dead Fish In Bay Investigated ANNAPOLIS (AP) The Tidewater Fisheries Commission is investigating today a multitude of dead fish floating on Chesapeake Bay and on beaches between the Magothy and Patapsco rivers. Most the fish are menhaden, also known as alewives, Edgar H. Hollis, a department biologist, said he had no idea what caused the mass deaths.

A department plane is surveying the area trying. to locate the biggest concentration of dead fish as a possible clue to the cause. Continued From Page One FILM later managers, James Evans and Frank Melvin, and Mr. Wright and state police officials. Mr.

Wright viewed some of the still scenes and said he considered them indecent. He advised the managers arrests would be made if the film were shown. Mr. Melvin said he is considering showing the film at a future date to make a test case of the ban. He claimed teenagers can buy magazines from newsstands that display sexier pictures than the figures in the nudist film.

He said the film has been shown in 42 states without trouble. He claimed only about 75 cars left the theatre and asked for refunds after the program was changed. Committee Meets To Draft Platform For Democrats By OVID MARTIN LOS ANGELES (AP) Twenty men and women lock themselves behind doors today to pen verbal weapons for the Democratic party's battle to recapture the presidency. The 20 were drawn from a 109- member resolutions committee draft a platform for the party's national convention next week. They acknowledged their task was difficult.

Democrats at this convention, as in past conclaves, expressed sometimes sharply -differences on some issue. The most serious of these was one that has plagued the party for yearscivil rights. But the 20-member drafting committee was agreed on one thing. It was a contention that the peace and prosperity theme usually a victorious theme- cannot be held aloft with validity by their Republican opponents this year. A score or more of witnesses who appeared at open hearings on the platform contended there is no real peace.

They cited intensification the cold war since collapse of the summit conference and the cancellation of President Eisenhower's visit to Japan. Labor and agricultural leaders, some trade and business groups West Side Lions See Mosquito Work BIVALVE Guests of the West Side Wicomico Lions Club Thursday evening in the Bivalve Community Center were Dr. George S. Lankford, state entomologist of the University of Maryland; Stanley Joseph, assistant entomologist, and Elwood Lynch of Salisbury, projects engineer. Dr.

Lankford spoke on mosquito control, telling what is being done to control and decrease the mosquito hazard in the salt water marshes in this section of the county. Spraying has been used for a number of years with good results, he said. The control program is being used in eight of the Eastern Shore counties where 192 miles of ditches have been dug in the marshes, allowing the flood and ebb tides to penetrate these ditches and canals. By this method, the water, which on the marshes, is drained and the breeding places are done away with. Slides were shown of the workers being done in the marshes, particularly in the lower Shore counties.

The Woman's Society of Service of the Oak Grove Methodist Church served the ner. R. James Darby, new president, conducted the meeting. The retir-1 ing president is Howard Willing. Local newspaper advertising in 1959 accounted for 76.5 per cent of the total newspaper advertising expenditure for that year.

and a number of prominent Democrats declared that increasing unemployment presages economic stagnation unless economy is given stimulants of government spending for medical aid for the aged, construction of schools, highways and housing-along with a shorter work week to stretch employment opportunities. Easy will be the task of putting into words planks on economic growth and the handling of foreign affairs to strengthen the nation's position in the world. But difficulties lay ahead in drafting planks on civil rights, the promotion of agricultural welfare, aid to education and medical aid to the aged. Northern civil rights groups, with backing of powerful labor organizations, demanded that the party pledge use of the full powers of the federal government to end racial discrimination in voting, public education, housing, employment and other fields. Southern delegates appealed at the hearing for avoidance of such a pledge, contending that progress in this field cannot be made through coercion or compulsion.

They cautioned that a bold plank would drive many Southern Democrats away from the party at voting time.

Humphrey, who has the 31-vote Minnesota delegation under his wing, wiped off lipstick bows planted on his cheeks by "golden girl" greeters and observed that the results of the forthcoming convention now seem unpredictable.

Gov. Robert B. Meyner of New Jersey announced he is going to have his state's 41 votes cast for him on the first ballot even if all but he among the favorite sons have fled the deck. Gov. Edmund G.

(Pat) Brown said he. had made up his mind what he going to do about California's 81-vote delegation. He wouldn't say what his intentions are, but Kennedy's men were confident he would head for their camp at the opportune, moment. Gov. David L.

Lawrence, heading Pennsylvania's 81-vote delegaStevenson is the man best qualified to be the nominee. But within his delegation Kennedy's supportflexed their muscles and made it clear the governor will have an argument if he doesn't go their way. There was a great deal of talk about how effective a JohnsonKennedy ticket would be in November. Sen. George A.

ers of Florida, chairman of the party's senatorial campaign committee, offered this as an ideal combination. But when he was asked about turning it around, Smathers said he is convinced Jonson would not play anybody's second fiddle. UPPER MARLBORO, Md.

ARROWSMITH NEWPORT (AP) President Eisenhower reportedly is thinking about going before Congress per- their national political conventions cast thrift to the winds in an effort to woo votes to the Democratic or Republican tickets.

Will Be A Miracle The President told a news conference last Wednesday it will be a miracle if the four billion dollar budget surplus he had counted on is realized in the fiscal year which started July 1. The President blamed the Democratic-controlled Congress for not acting on his requests for higher gasoline and highway construction taxes, and for not increasing postal rates. He also complaned about the 700 million dollar cost of the new pay hike for federal employes put into effect over his veto. The Senate is scheduled to reconvene Aug. 8 and the House Aug.

Aides at the President's vacaheadquarters said today Eisenhower almost certainly will sound such an appeal even if he decides against addressing a joint session of the Senate and House, Alternatives would be to send a special message to Congress, or make a speech to the nation on television and radio.
