But he protests now against "compulsory integration," first "from principle" and second, "because I don't believe compul sion will work." Thus he is op posed to the fanaticism of the white "Citizen's Councils" and to . the pressure tactics of the NAACP. He thinks the Northern er "does not know the South:" "H can't know It from hli dis tance. He auumei that he Is deal, tnf with iinnple legal theory and a "imply moral idea.

WASHINGTON - President Eisenhower vigorously dashed cold water Wednesday on "dump Nixon" talk. But be refused for a second time to say whether he wants the Vice President as his 1956 running mate, and he said he has invited Nixon to chart his own political future. Eisenhower also declared at a news conference that if he him self ever should feel physically un able to carry on the essential du ties of 4he White House "I won't be there." No Further Explanation He didn't spell out what this could mean in terms of concrete action such as cancelling out his week-old decision to see a sec ond term, or resigning the presi dency, he did say at another point, however: "I have said, unless I felt ab solutely up to the performance of the duties of the President, the second that I didnt, I would no longer be there in the job or I wouldn I be available for the job." And he said he would com municate such a decision "instant ly" to the American people. Stirs Response The President bridled when asked about reports some advisers were urging him to "dump" Nixon from this year's ticket and that Eisenhower himself had suggested Nixon stand aside and maybe take a cabinet post. "If anyone," said Eisenhower, with considerable force, "ever has tfye effrontery to come in and urge me to dump somebody that I re spect as J do Vice President Nixon, there will be more commotion around my office than you have noticed yet." Evades Answer Eisenhower declined to answer yes or no "1 am not," he de clared, 'tying to bo pushed into corners here" when asked if he would be "content" with Nixon as second man on the Republican ticket. ' "I do say this," Eisenhower went on. "I have no criticism of Vict President Nixon to make, either as a man, an associate or as my running mate on the ticket."

Walter Nor- blad from the governor's race was still the chief topic of political discussion Wednesday, but his de cision had not prompted any new action by candidates. Norblad filed for renomination to the 1st Dis trict post he has held for five terms. Salem Attorney Bruce Williams said he was getting considerable encouragement to stay in the race for the Republican nomination to Congress and would not make up his mind for another day at least William Healy. former assistant secretary of state, had indicated earlier that he wouldn't make up his mind either before today. Not Withdrawing Silverton Republican R. T. Cook, also in the race, said Norblad'a decision would have no effect on his candidacy. "I am not with drawing from the race for con- eressman." he said. "I took Mr. Norblad s actions in eood faith, and have been actively campaigning for three weeks. Dur ing this time I have been im pressed by the fact that the voters I have talked to do not share the belief that Mr. Norblad is indis pensable to save his seat for the Republican Party." . Cook said it was well known that Norblad wants a seat in the Senate "but does not have the courage to run against Senator Morse, in stead, he thought the race for gov ernor would be fairly easy for him but when firm opposition devel op4, he withdrew in a hasty and undignified manner.

Emp Rural School Budget Below Figure for '55 Annual budget of Marlon County rural schools will be be low last year in contrast to the usual increasing' cost ot every thing including education, Super intendent Agnes Bootn reported Wednesday. Rural district voters will vote May 7 on a $1,206,966 budget for 1956 57 which is $129,247 below last year's, Mrs. Booth said. Most of the reduction from the 1933-so total of $1,336,213, however, was caused by the consolidation of the big Keizer district with Sa lem since then. The total budget would have been lower even with Keizer in, Mrs. Booth noted, assessing this fact to the completion by many of the schools of expansion pro grams which called for consider Oregon Ballot at the State Elections Bureau aauvs we uku. un"i ire!'

WRIGHT Jr. Staff Writer, The Statesman State institutions charged with CTiminal practices in Uicir operations by a former food manager at the State Prison, have been guilty of consider able mismanagement accord ing to a recent Board of Control food study. The charges levelled in a cam paign statement by Al Richard son, who resigned March 1 from his prison post to run for state treasurer, have resulted in a call for a special investigation and grand jury probe by Marion County District Attorney Kenneth. Brown. The Jury will consider the results at a special session Mon day morning. Brown said Wednesday he will meet with state )olicv today to go over their evidence.

Leon Margoslaa of the State De partment of Finance and Admin istration, and Elsie Maxwell, food consultant for the board. It was. Eiven to the board two weeks aco. Cold Food Heaviest criticism In the reoort was leveled at Oregon State Hos- pital where a shortage of food. serving of cold food and sharp discrepancies in food records was noted. The report noted that two situation had been brought to the attention ot the hospital offi. elals and the Board of Control . in Jupe of 1954 in a report by a Dr. Chambers of the American Psychiatrle Association who was "high critical of this area of in stitution operations." Chambers six-point criticism Included 1. farm produce not ac curately computed or priced; 2. Inadequate storage; 3.. careless preparation; 4. poorly-selected purchases; 8. poorly-trained and unskilled workers: and I mono tonous diets. Sub-Standard Diet The committee was unanimous , in stating that the "diet was ex tremely poor and definitely sub standard," at the hospital. It noted discrepancies In the report ing of meals served to employes. The June 1953 employes daily . meal count average was 281, but . the report showed 400, the com- mittce said. A similar discrep . sncy existed for July, it said. In July the meatcutters report . showed 21,634 pounds of meat furnished while theskitchen re ported receiving 26,520. In all the committee report listed over 100 recommendations for change! . in food management at the State ' Hospital It noted that the only . deep freeze unit available at the institution was 50 per cent taken up by employes lockers. Pen Not Included Only one ot the state Institu tions not Included in the recom mendation list for changes was the State Penitentiary, where Richardson was employed. Recommendations for most in stitutions included one to discon tinue use ot surplus commodities by staff members. In every case the need for more adequate rec-' ords was recommended. For the State Blind School ' cooking in dormitories and em ploye use of surpluses were hit. Small quantity buying, employe ' use of surpluses and purchase of -bread from private concerns were Included in criticisms of the Deaf " School. .- Urge Consolidation - Lack of store security at Hill crest School was deplored by the committee which urgrd con solidatlon ot kitchens at that in stitution. One diet for employee and another for inmates at Me Larcn School was criticized. The committee noted that as many as 13 breakfasts, 30 luncheons and dinners were prepared tor em ployes, but as few as five con sumed. In the State Hospital invest-' gation the committee reported that of 49 wards visited by Rich ardson, only three did not have complaints against the amount, preparation or serving of food. State Hospital food at approxi mately 52 cents per day per in dividual was listed by the com mittee as of poor nutritional ade quacy and received an overall low rating.
