No Danger Humphrey Tells Sclons
Treasury Secretary Humphrey testified before the Senate Finance Committee that a rising rate of failures among small businessmen does not threaten the economy. Sen. Smathers pressed him on whether monetary tightening and tax changes help small business, while Humphrey defended the overall prosperity and noted bankruptcies remain a small share. Smathers cited data claiming big firms captured most benefits from repeal of the excess profits tax.

House subcommittee halts Hells Canyon high dam bill
Washington. An interior subcommittee voted 15 to 12 to send a motion to the full Interior Committee that would scuttle legislation to authorize a federal high dam at Hells Canyon in Idaho and Oregon. Supporters called the bill dead as opponents claim no current path to passage. The Senate had boosted hopes by approving federal construction, but the House move leaves the bill without a clear track.

Wilson Warns Foreign Policy Built on Pacts
Defense Secretary Charles E Wilson and Undersecretary Christian A Herter told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that the United States would withdraw overseas forces and abandon Fortress America if status of forces accords are broken. They said the pacts are mutual and essential to U.S. jurisdiction over crimes, as Adm. Arthur W Radford warned against the fortress concept. The dispute over a Japanese trial of GI William S Girard spurred the resolution to scrap or renegotiate such agreements. In Japan, a sympathies demand of 2 million yen was lodged with Girards widow by a shopkeeper, tied to the shooting on a firing range that killed a scrap metal collector.
