Eisenhower to Decide Speedy Report on Probe Of Business Requested By HERBERT FOSTER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower must decide the future of Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott without a verdict from Senate investigators, authoritative sources said today. At least two members of the Senate Investigating subcommittee urged a speedy report on the group's inquiry into the $60,000-a-year business partnership which Talbott kept while in the Pentagon. Talbott announced Wednesday at the end of the investigation that he is pulling out of the firm. But a high source said the staff could not draft a report and get agreement of the subcommittee members before this session of Congress ends and the seven senators scatter. This probably would delay the official report until January. The delay would leave Mr. Eisenhower to decide for himself whether Talbott violated government ethics. He would have available the testimony in the case, but not the subcommittee's opinion. Will Make Personal Study The Chief Executive told his news conference Wednesday that he will make an intensive personal study of the Talbott case. He refrained from passing any judgment then on Talbott. Mr. Eisenhower said there was no suggestion of fraud or illegality in the case. But he said it is not enough for a man in public office.

A total of 12,854 children have received one shot. McDonald said the department "feels every reasonable effort has been made to carry out the immunization program.

Record-Breaking Heat Sears East; 1500 Flee Floods at Albuquerque Record breaking heat struck the nation again today from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Seaboard, while a devastating flood forced 1500 persons from their homes at Albuquerque, N.M. Some relief was expected from the worst heat of the year after yesterday's 100-degree readings through a wide area of the Midwest. Cooler air spread southward over the Great Lakes and North Atlantic states. But in the south-eastern part of the nation the mercury stayed high. Two flash floods roared out of the rain-drenched Sandia Mountains into the northern half of Albuquerque, causing 1500 persons to flee their homes. State of Emergency Evacuees scurried to the University of New Mexico dormitories for shelter, and Gov. John F. Sims declared a state of emergency. An 18-inch crest of water flowed through half the city, and damage from mud and water was estimated at one million dollars. A young mother and her child were caught in a pickup truck in the crest of the first flood. The vehicle was carried a quarter of a mile by the swirling waters and then turned over, but the mother saved herself and her child. Other heavy rains occurred at Denver where almost half an inch fell, and at Jacksonville and Tampa. Ela More than an inchment ethics.

Will Make Personal Study The Chief Executive told his news conference Wednesday that he will make an intensive personal study of the Talbott case. He refrained from passing any judgment then on Talbott. Mr. Eisenhower said there was no suggestion of fraud or illegality in the case. But he said it is not enough for a man in public office merely to be innocent of illegal actions—there are also questions of ethics, and on such matters, he said, a public official must be impeccable. He said Talbott had performed almost brilliantly as Air Force secretary, and had been his personal friend for some years. But Sen. Karl E.
