2 Tht Newi-Revlew, Roseburg, Democratic Policy Heads Draff No-Compromise Plan In Support Of Civil Rights By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST WASHINGTON 11 Democratic strategists promised a strong civil rights statement today to round out an unofficial political platform for the 1958 congressional elections. Drafted yesterday by the na tional party's advisory council at the conclusion of a two-day meet ing here, the civil rights statement had the approval of 18 of the 24 council members, including former President Harry S. Truman and Adlai E. Stevenson, 1952-1956 pres idential nominee. It adds to statements dealing with foreign policy, national de fense and economics which Demo crats hope to make major issues In next year's bid to strengthen their control of Congress. Lone objector to the civil rights statement approved behind closed doors reportedly was Mrs. Benja min B. Everett, North Carolina na tional committecwoman. Compromise Spurnad While details of the civil rights pronouncement were withheld tem porarily, council members hinted that it called for no compromise. They said it ordered a staff study of the need for new legislation and criticized President Eisenhower for not yet having named the civil rights commission provided for in a 1957 law. Gov. Avcrell Harriman of New York interpreted the statement as emphasizing that the Democrats don't .intend to yield ground in their demand for an effective civil richts program. The economics declaration flay ed the Eisenhower administration s asserted "negative" attack on the "worse peacetime inflation" in history and called for a change in the "tight money" policy, tax aid for small business and price stabi lization.

"The Beit Place Ore. Mon. Oct. 21, 1957 the last 19 months, the Democrats said the GOP has done nothing but raise interest rates and tight en the supply of money. "There must be an increased supply of funds at reasonable rates for productive investment, home and school construction," the coun cil said. "The first need now is to resume growth to get produc tion rising again ... If living costs continue to rise or do so when ex pansion is resumed, we must have an active, firm and broadly based Dolicv to insure price stability . . . "Firms with large powers to in crease their prices must De tola, in terms that admit of no uncer tainty, that sound public policy re ouires nrice stability. Collective bargaining must proceed within the framework of present prices. Prestige Abroad "Low" While the Eisenhower adminis tration "has excelled all others in our history in the number and length of piety of Its lectures on Dublic morality." the Democrats said, "it has been remarkably in different to the immoral robbery worked by what historians will call the Eisenhower inflation." The council's foreign policy and defense statement said the Repub lican administration has under taken "unilateral disarmament at the expense of our national secur ity" despite Russia's "rapid prog ress in science and technology." As a result, it said, the confi dence of our allies in the United States' "integrity and responsibil ity of its conduct" has hit a low point. It said the administration "has made the fundamental error of placing fiscal objectives and do mestic political considerations ahead of the nation'! security."

Allen llynek, associate direc tor of the Smithsonian Astrophys ical Observatory, said here that he was "shocked" at the complacent attitude he encountered in the Midwest last week toward the Russian feat of launching a satel lite. Dr. llynek spoke at the annual meeting of the optical society of America at Columbus, Ohio, on the satellite optical tracking program he heads. The complacency, he said, was among lamen and not the sci entists he met. "Their attitude seemed to be that we had lost the ball on the 40-yard line but would surely win the ball game," Hynek said. Commenting on a report! from Russia that the Soviets might launch an atomatic station to be set up on the moon, Dr. Hynek said the problem of reaching the moon was not much more difficult than that of launching a satellite. "It is very definitely in the realm of present possibility to reach the moon," Dr. Hynek cm- Eashized. He said a satellite would ave to be launched into space at seven miles a second to reach the moon as compared to five miles a second to orbit around the world. The difficulty would be In the controls to aim the satellite at the moon and enable it to land on the surface without destroying itself, the scientist said. The moon is at an average distance of about 239,000 miles.

Legislative Fight- Due Over $42 Million Cap In Rival Tax Cut Plans (Continued from page one) the surtax was a major factor in me jtepuoucan aeteat. The Democratic 1957 legislatura slightly increased the income tax. In effect, it increased the surtax to 51 per cent. But it incorporated the surtax into the regular rate structure, and made nearly all of the tax payable Dy wunnoiding. , Boost Increased Need But, after the session ended, the tax commission came up with new estimates that showed that the 1957 Legislature increased taxes more than was necessary. These figures showed the $69,605,650 surplus for next year. The Governor and his advisers promptly decided that some of it snould be returned. Then the Renublicans. comnlain Ing that Holmes didn't go far enougn, came out for a whopping reduction. Both parties hope to be able to convince the voters next vear that they are the ones who favor tax reduction and economy.

OR 2-3472 If no answer, coll OR 3-5201 Travelers See Troops Along Turkish Border ISTANBUL, Turkey Wl Re turning travelers reported Satur day seeing large numbers of Turk ish Infantry and strong armored units dug in along the tense Syr ian border. Eyewitnesses who toured tr.9 dusty roads along the western sec tion of the frontier said military trucks were rumbling in the area night and day. Troops and armor appeared well dug in and in de fensive positions, one traveler said, with equipment camou flaged from ground or air obser vation. Two witnesses said they saw about 30 American officers and noncoms clad in field uniforms in the area. These apparently were technical instructors and advisers attached to Turkish units for train ing purposes as part of the Amer ican defense aid program here. Turkey has repeatedly rejected Syrian claims that troops are poised for anti-Syrian aggression. In several notes Turkish leaders have insisted on Turkey's right to maneuver her own troops for de fensive purposes in her own terri tory. Travelers said the troops ap peared well fitted out with Amer ican weapons bazookas and re coiless rifles among them. At one point, four or five miles from the Syrian border, they saw an improvised air strip for artil lery reconnaisance planes. Units have set up headquarters in farmhouses and schools in the area, the travelers said.

Public Apathy Toward Mishaps, Welfare Needs Cited By Safety Head CHICAGO W Ned H. Dear born, president of the National Safety Council, said Monday the safety movement nas ianea tj rouse the public enough to win the war on accidents. He said this was especially trtit of traffic accidents. In a speech prepared for the annual meeting of the National Safety Congress, Dearborn cited the improvements in other na tional health and welfare prob lems compared to small decreases in the nation's traffic toll. "We in the safety movement have failed to stir the hearts of our fellow countrymen." he said. "There are scores of other worthy causes which arouse widespread support heart ailment cancer, and currently Asian flu, to men tion only a few. "Why, in the name of humanity, don't the American people react in the same degree to the terrible toll of accidents 95,000 killed in 1956 alone, more than a million injured, many thousands of them permanently, and an economic loss of 11 billion dollars." Dearborn listed several weak nesses in safety programs: "Business has only reccnlly taken positive action against off time job accidents. "Labor is still a weak safety voice crying in the wilderness. "Women are nowhere near as active in the field of safety as in other worthy welfare work. "Government interest and action are growing, but many areas are still sadly neglected. $100 Million Building Boom Seen In Portland PORTLAND I About 100 million dollars may be spent in major construction here next year, The Oregonian said Sunday.
