Big Four Meeting
Will Tell Story
WASHINGTON (Al'i Presl-,
dent Eisenhower said Wednes- j
day the proponed at-the-summit
lhg Four meeting rould dear1
the air somewhat and show1
whether the Russians sincerely
want to ease tension* "around
the world."
The President told a new*
conference, however, the whole
thing Htill la in an exploratory:
ami experimental atage. He rau
tioned aganist a "atubborn” re
fusal to expect any good from
the Idea, but he added In tone*
that suggested little enthus
iasm.
“There la no expectation on
my part that In a few hours, a
few days, or a few weeks this
world is going to be turned
around by no means. And I am
not going, if I do go, under any
such thought.”
. . . IF . . .
This "if" note cropped up nev
er* l time* an the President an
swered questions stemming from
Tuesday's call by ihe Western
powers for a meeting of Kisen
hower, British Prime Minister
Anthony Eden, French Premier
Kdgar Faure and Soviet Premier
Nicolai Bulganin in an effort to
lemove "soi rees of conflict,"
The Soviets have not yet re
plied to the Anglo-American
French bid, which represented a
change in American policy. Pre
viously the President had op
posed any early top level meet
ing at least until after the four
foreign ministers had laid the
groundwork.
Asked why he changed his
mind, the Piesulent spoke of "a
growing sentiment" throughout
the world ”a vague feeling some
good might come out of such a
conference."
Important Business
With great emphasis, he said
"this business of trying to reach
a clarification of issues, if such
a thing is possible, in so impor
tant that you can't stand on any
other principle except to do your
utmost as you preserve your
own strength of position."
Eisenhower said he thought a
Big Four conference shouldn't
take more than about thi-ee days.
And he said he thought such u
meeting "if held at all" should
be held in "one of the so-called
neutral fount lien." Report* from
Europe suggested- Switzerland
whh was a likely choice, probably
In July.
The Big Four parley Idea and
th<- Salk vaccine situation dom
inated Eisenhower's meeting'
with 211 newsmen.
Ah for the vaccine, Eisenhow
er said medical authorities have
been under "gnat pressure” to
get it in use as soon aa possible
and that "probably they tried to
short-cut a little bit” in teating
it.
He had no criticisms of fed
eral health authorities, however,
arid in fact commended them for
halting vaccinations pending a
recheck. He voiced firm faith
the vaccine ultimately will wipe
out polio in this country.

Demos Ask Recommendation
For Pacific Northwest Aid
WASHINGTON I API Oregon
Democrats in Congress Wednes
day asked the House Appropria
tions committee to recommend
Sit'S,403,550 in the year begin
ning July 1 to provide the Pa
cific Northwest with a “mini
mum program of essential proj
ects.”
Their requests call for con
struction to start on Hilis Creek,
Cougar and Ice Harbor dams and
advanced planning for an early
start on the John Day and Green
Peter-Whitebridge dams.
Sens. Neuberger and Morse
and Rep. Green of Oregon said
their recommendations totaled
S12.315.050 more than was asked
in the budget. but they “con
stitute a realistic examination of
amounts needed to do the job in
the most economical and expedi
tious manner.”
Morse said the administrations
budget for power, flood control
and irrigation is an “invitation
to economic paralysis.
“Because the administration
has brought the federal program
to a virtual halt, the urgency
is so great that the proposals
represent an irreducible mini
mum," Neuberger said.
Mrs. Green said the adminis
tration proposals were "grossly
inadequate and therefore disas
trously constrictive to economic
expansion of the area.’’
In urging stepped-up planning
for Green Peter, John Day and
Cougar dams, the Democrats
said the Army Engineers advised
them that planning had not
started on the first two and was
only 34 per cent complete otj
Cougar.
“We have asked the full
amounts usable for planning in
1956 with the view of starting
these projects at the earliest
possible date,'1 they said. Cougar,
they added, could be started
early in 1957, and both John
Day and Green Peter later in
that year.
Partnership construction pro
posals for these dams, they said,
"would set back the time sched
ule for their construction as
federal projects."
Ice Harbor is a dam proposed
for the lower Snake River. John
Day is a dam proposed for the
Columbia between McNary and
The Dalles dams. Green Peter,
Hills Creek and Cougar dams are
proposed for Willamette tribu
taries in Western Oregon.
