' Unemployment Compensation Roles Increase SALEM ITI Insured un employment rose about 5 per cent in Oregon last week as 0,247 per sons filed for unemployment com pensation benefits. David H. Cameron, commis sioner of the Employment De partmwit. said this was far be . low the 17,422 claims of a year aso. About 78 per cent of the current increase resulted from women ap plicants laid off in the food pro cessing industry. But the depart ment said that with the green bean season fast approaching. this condition should be reversed in the near future. The only forseeable factor which might increase claims in the next few weeks, Cameron noted, would be an extensive woods closure due to fire danger. At present woods workers have experienced some cut-backs, but no widespread shutdown.. Nixon Picks Political Plum With Dramatic Tour Of Soviet Union WASHINGTON a'PI Vice President Nixon'i dramatic Soviet tour Is shaping up more and more .is a lwo political plus for the Cnlifornian. And the other presi dential h pefuls arc now ha clon ing their own foreign travel plans lor this fall. The Far East, Africa and Eu rope are in for some autumn vis itations. Most of those in the Dem ocratic field of "real" ,or ''pote: tial" presidential candidates wil. be moving out. For some, it's a serious case of "closing the for eign policy gap." None of the Democrats who'd like to squa-e off agairrst Nixon in the presidential showdown next year can h-pe to match him In overseas mileage, handshakes or vodka-wine toasts. The vice presi dent has been building major for eign policy experience since 1953, when he spent 10 weeks going through the Far East and around the world. When he returns from Russia and Poland, he'll have traveled 145.000 miles abroad and will have visited more than SO countries as vice president.. Of the Senate's crop cf Demo cratic presidential possibilities, only Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas intends to be a 1!)58 stay at home. He insists he's not a candidate for anything but the Senate next year and plans no forays outside this country. The other three senatorial po tential candidates have more am bitious plans. Big Trvl Schedule Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey ID- Minn.), running hard but moving slowly, has the biggest travel schedule and the most formidable foreign policy background of the three. Humphrey made headlines last December with his eight-hour talk with Khrushchev. Now he's planning a month-long Far East tour in November. The Minnesotan wants to visit South Korea, Japan, the Philip pines, Formosa and India then come home by way of Italy and Poland. Humphrey started piling up for eign affairs experience in 1951, as a delegate to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg., In 1956 he was a delegate to the I'niled Na- lions. In 1U57. following the Sui crisis and before the Lebanon- Iraq blow-up, he visited the Mia-, east and the countries of "NATO South." Then last year he went to Moscow, West Berlin and Finland Sen. John F. Kennedy D-Mass who leads the Democratic lineup in most presidential polls, has a fall trin to Africa in the works. He hopes to spend three weeks there, starting cither in late Aug ust or in December. He'll go as chairman of the foreign relations subcommittee on African affairs. Kennedy beat Nixon to Russia by 20 years. He went on his own in 1939 as a young man of 22. Now he wants to visit some of the newly independent African countries. Nixon paid formal vis its to eight of these in 1957. Kennedy Working Hard Kennedy has been working hard Gruening Urges Faster Alaska Mail Service WASHINGTON UPl - Sen Ernest Gruening ID-Alaska) says he canjt understand why the Post Office is buying "little go-carts" to speed local mail delivery when it hesitates to make more use Of aircraft to carry letters between cities. Gruening. in testimony before a Senate Post Office subcommittee Monday, supported a bill which would authorize the Postmaster General to transport all classes of mail by air if he found it more suitable than surface vehicles. He is pushing for a speed-up of mail to Alaska. However, the Association of American Railroads (AARi warned that small towns and ru ral areas may suffer along with the rail lines if the department adopts an "all-up"' policy of air lifting most inter-city mail. Herbert B. Brand, railway mail director for the AAR. said the bill could mean an ultimate cost to the railroads of 150 million dollars a year. j on the "gap." He has interested himself in India's future and ftnrtled the Senate a year ago iwith a forceful sjiecch analyzing the French crisis in Algeria m terms which added up to quick independence. Sen. Stuart Symington D-Mo.) regarded by some resiecteJ poli ticians as the Zdcmocrat "mast likely," has tentative plans to go to London this fall. His stated rea son is to see his son, now located there. But the trip easily could be expanded, as they often are. Symington has a view of world problems based largely on his service as air secreta-y in the Truman administration. In that capacity he made two working trips to the Far East in 1949 and has made similar Eurowan visits as a senator in 1954 and 1957. His studies abroad have centered on armed forces and foreign aid developments. And there are other 'political travelers outside the Senate. Cal ifornia Gov. Edmund G.
