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. Brown
a Democratic "favorite son." is
thinking of going to the Rar East
Democratic Gov. Robert B. Mey
ner of New Jersey, Republican
Gov. William G. Stratton of Illi
nois, and seven 'other governors
