ACROSS THE NATION Kefauver Hits GOP Policies; Supports Oregon Democrats From *he wires of Associated Press ONTARIO, ORE.—Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee Monday criti cized the Eisenhower administration's power policies and urged elec tion of Albert C. Ullman, the Democratic nominee, as Eastern Oregon Congressman. Kefauver, speaking at Ontario, said the administration ‘'has'’ offi cially abandoned to a little group of power barons the opportunity to decide how much power will be produced, where it will be produced and how much they will charge for it.” He said that election of Ullman would "show the people of Eastern Oregon have repudiated the administration policy to give away Hells Canyon dam and our other river resources to monopoly interest.” Sen. Wayne Morse, also campaigning for Democratic candidates, told a meeting of farmers at Molalla Monday night that the policies of Secretary of the Interior McKay have led to a serious decline in Oregon population and job opportunities. He urged election of Richard L. Neuberger to the U. S. Senate and a full slate of Democratic con gressman to “reverse the administration power policy of no new dams on the Columbia.” Neuberger, speaking in Astoria, accused Cordon's organization of carrying on a smear campaign to “shift the scenery from Cordon’s voting record in the United States Senate.” Joseph K. Carson, the Democratic candidate for governor, told the Astoria rally that he thought the 1953 Oregon anti-picketing bill was an unfair law. He said he would oppose any efforts to rewrite it in order to overcome features which courts have declared unconstitu tional. Weeks Cites Budget Problems BOSTON—Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks says “budget and taxation will be troublesome problems” as' long as the United States lives under cold war conditions. Weeks told the annual dinner of the Smaller Business Assn, of New England Monday night: “Out of every government dollar, 66 cents goes for defense, and 23 cents goes for interest on the national debt, veterans benefits and agricultural suports. The rest of the government operates on the remaining 11 cents.” Weeks said the Defense Deartment "by watching purchases and by a more adequate analysis of what we have on hand will spend 15 per cent less for subsistence, 50 per cent less for clothing and 55 per cent less for materials and supplies during fiscal 1955. ” He said the Eisenhower administration, in its 20 months in office, has "started in the right direction” toward tax reductions. Dixon-Yates Witness To Testify WASHINGTON—J. D. Stietenroth, ousted Missisippi utility offi cial, was scheduled Tuesday to wind up testimony before a Senate subcommittee probing the controversial Dixon-Yates contract. In four days of testimony last week, Steintenroth detailed his accu sation that Wall street dominated the utility for which he was secre tary-treasurer, Misissippi Power and Light Co. This firm is a subsidiary of Middle South Utilities, one of two firms that would share in the Dixon-Yates contract which President Eisen hower has directed the Atomic Energy Commission to negotiate. The contract calls for the Dixon-Yates private utility group to build a lant at West Memphis, Ark., to supply power to the Tennessee Valley Authority .It would replace electricity which TVA furnishes an AEC plant at Paducah, Ky. The proposal has aroused a storm of controversy in Congress, par -ticularly among lawmakers from TVA states. Reporter Foils Suicide Attempt NASHVILLE. Tenn.—Reporter John Seigenthaler jerked a man from the jaws of death by his shirt collar 100 feet above the Cumber land River Monday. For 40 minutes, the Nashville Tennessean reporter shot questions to Gene Bradford Williams, 55, as he threatened to leap from the downtown bridge. Then as Williams muttered, “So long. God forgive me my sins,” Seigenthaler lunged from astride the bridge railing and clamped a strong grip on his collar. “I’ll never forgive you,” snapped Williams as police rushed to help Seigenthaler yank the struggling man back to safety. In his story Seigenthaler said then Williams “stood up and looked down. He put both feet on two telephone wires and his body was sud denly rigid. He looked at the water below. As he started to mumble his goodbye, I grabbed.” Williams called the newspaper’s city desk and said he was going to drop from the bridge. “Send a reporter and a photographer if you want a story,” he advised City Editor Bill Maples. ♦ ♦ ♦ Sack Gets Death Sentence PORTLAND—George F.
