OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 52nd Year Two Sections Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, The Bend Bulletin, Friday, April 8. 1955 Twelve Pages Hagerty Gives Ike's Position On Security WASHINGTON (UPt-President Eisenhower feels lhat technical U.S. military information lias been publicly circulated to the detri ment of national security, the White House said today. Mr. Eisenhower's views were disclosed by Press . Secretary James C. Hagerty when questioned about a Defense Department dir ective whichfh;is closed down the flow of much news from the Pen tagon. - Hagerty refused to discuss the Defense Department directive, as such, but outlined for reporters Mr. Eisenhower's views on the subject. "The President lias never lie- lieved in censorship of legitimate news." Hagerty suid. "However, he also has always believed that there is no reason to niuke available to the enemy tech nical military secrets which, by (heir issuance, could do nothing but hurt the interests of the United Slates. "To lhat extent, and only to lhat extent, would he ask lhat that sort of information be withheld from general circulation. "He doesn't believe that in oili er instances security or security regulations should be used by any branch of the government to cover up publication of legitimate news." Asked specifically whether Mr. Eisenhower 'felt that technical in formation of lhat nature has been published, Hagerty said: "We have felt that technical in formation has been made avail able." Hagerty would not say whether Mr. Eisenhower conveyed his feel ings to Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson, thereby prompting the strict new directive. Nor would Hagerty cite any examples in which (he White House believes technical information, which should have been kepi secret, has been divulgd. ' " Hagerly said lhat in outlining the President's views, there was "no reprimand intended to any in dividual or department." Wilson's oilier last week pro vides lhat data be cleared through his office before public release. Material which is released also must "constitute a constructive contribution to the primary mis sion of the Department of De fense," his directive said. Garage Burns In Rural Blaze Special to The Bulletin REDMOND A garage on the property of Dr. James Smith on Ogg road, west of Redmond, was destroyed by fire about 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The garage, believed not to house any vehicles or valuable equipment at the time of the fire, was ignited from grass being burned nearby. Firemen took one truck, since the property is outside of city limits, and pumped water from a stock pond on the pre mises. The truck with several firemen aboard and four other firemen in their own automobiles reached the fire before cars of spectators jammed the long, nar row lane leading in to the prop erty. Other volunteers had to leave their cars on the highway and walk in to the scene of the fire. Firemen played water on the roof and walls of the house which Is near the garage, and prevented it from catching fire, but the ga rage was a total loss. The blaze, visible on the western horizon after sunset, attracted many spec tators. The Smiths moved there re cently from their former home on Eighth street in Redmond.

LONDON (UP) The Princess Margaret husband guessing sweep stakes picked up momentum to day with the name of polo-playing Billy Wallace beginning to dispute RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend as the favorite. A radio commentutor on NBC claimed that Wallace, 29, step-son of American writer Herbert Agar, would become engaged to the princess before the summer. He has frequently accompanied her in public. This, according to the rules of the national matchmaking game, immediately elevated the lanky playboy from faithful escort to marital prospect. Royal circles immediately declared they knew of no serious romance, much less prospective engagement. Townsend, 40-year-old divorced father of two growing boys, fell back a few notches when the Archbishop of Canterbury, making his first comment on the Towrv send Margaret case, described the reports as a "newspaper stunt."

The annual wage is expected to be the major stumbling block in the path of company and union negotiators seeking to work out a new contract for the company's workers. Negotiators for both sides refused to say whether the GAW proposal was introduced in the opening day of the negotiations Thursday. "We reviewed orally a number of the issues," UAW Vice President John Livingston said. But he re fused to suy if the GAW was in cluded. Both the company and the union promised to do their best to reach an agreement without a strike. "We will do our best to reach a settlement and I think the unicn will do the same," suid Harry W. Anderson, GM vice president in charge of personnel. Today's session, scheduled lo last three hours, was expected to be cut off at noon to allow negotiators to attend Easter week services. Nego tiations will be resumed next week and will be "fairly regular" after that, spokesmen for both sides said. The renewed threat of a strike, if necessary, came from CIO President Wulter Reuther in a speech before the National Press Club in Washington Thursday. Reuther, who also heads the CIO United Auto Workers, refused to predict whether the union would be forced to resort to a strike but said it wauld do so if it was unable to gain at least some form of guar anteed annual wage by other means.

Unemployment Plan Draws Labor, Industry Criticism By BII.I, FORCE United Press Stuff Correspondent SALEM (UP) A 'new plan for unemployment compensation pay ments was presented to lubor and industry here last night by the Senate Labor Committee and drew vehement objections from both sides. Labor protested that penalty provisions, disqualification clauses and effective dates were improper and that the amended bill would work hardships on seasonal work ers who failed to meet the require ments of the complex wage for mula provided. Industry objected that the pro posed benefit rate of $35 per week maximum was too high and con tended that the qualification pro visions would bring so many peo ple under the compensation act that the compensation fund would soon be exhausted. Hospitals Object The State Nurses Association and association of hospitals sent spokesmen to the hearing to pro- Third Round Of Firearms Course Due First class In the third round of the junior firearms training , , . , program, sponsored Dy me city recreation ana police departments has been scheduled for Tuesday evening, at 7:30, Chief John T.

Decision Due In Selection Of Counselor Appointment of a city youth counselor should be forthcoming by noon Saturday, it was an nounced following completion of interviews of the seven applicants In the running, The Youth Council screening ap plicants has set Saturday morning at 10 for a final meeting to de cide on a successor for George J, Turner, who held the post for five yenrs. The meeting will be In the commission room of city hall. Last of the seven applicants be ing actively considered was inter viewed in city hull late yesterday afternoon. Local 'candidates were interviewed by members of the screening committee Wednesday, those from out-of-town Thursday.

He plans to leave at the end or the month. The youth counselor works un der Police Chief John T. Truett and derives half his salary from the county and half from the city. On the council are school, city. county and stale officials dealing with youth problems In Bend and "iclnlty. test inclusion of hospitals in the act. They claimed that employ ment is historically stable in hos pitals and that u n e m p I o y ment compensation is rarely needed James G. Swindells, speaking for the hospitals, said the bill would force Oregon hospitals to pay some 100,000 a year into the fund and would result in an increased daily hospital rate of 50-eents. James Marr, executive secretary of the Oregon Federation of Labor, aroused the ire of Sen. Gene Brown (R-Granls Pass) when he said he doubted the committee had been able lo become fully acquainted with the unemployment problem in two months. Marr said amendments to the bill had been presented so fast that labor hadn't had a chance to study them. Brown replied that the commit tee knew perfectly well what It was doing and that the objections of both labor and Industry Indi cated that its compromise version of the original bill was successful He said the new bill struck the middle ground between the oppos ing viewpoints. Object To Date Both Marr and George Brown, executive secretary of the Oregon CIO, objected lo making the bene fit Increases effective July 1, 1956 Sen.

Agency on ios Lack of Good Judgement Said Reason SALEM (UP) The Civil Service Commission last night upheld the ruling of the Oregon Liquor Con trol Commission In refusing to re hire Karl Glos as OLC hearings examiner. The commission said this was no reflection on the character of Glos. But the evidence presented indi cated Glos had "obviously exer cised extremely poor judgement in serving as legal counsel for li censees in matters that were even remotely connected with their ob taining licences," the commission said. The commission sad that Glos would be considered for any fur ther state employment without prejudice. Glos resigned Feb. 17 after two special investigators of the gover nor alleged that Glos had accepted money from a tavern owner who sought a liquor - by - the - drink license. (ilos Deniea Allegations Glos later requested the Civil Service hearing in an attempt to have his resignation withdrawn. He said the circumstances sur rounding the resignation reflected discredit upon him and would bar him from state employment in any form for two years. ; l me lormer uia.; nearmgs ex- aminer 8,eaafa8tly Benied. aU al- . . , , e wtJV- '" vl """"""' At yesterday's hearing, Pa'il Williamson, Portland Tavern own er, repeated under oath his earlier charges of "influence peddling" leveled against Glos. Williamson claimed he paid Glos $250 of the $1500 he had been led to believe it would cost him to obtain a liquor-by-the drink license for his tavern. Glos denied the charges. No concrete evidence supporting the charges was presented at the hearing. Statement Issued The commission Issued the fol lowing statement: "From the nature of the evi dence that has been presented at this hearing, It may appear that the commission is required to pass judgment upon the character of Mr. Karl Glos. If this were true the decis,on wou,d not be diHlcuU, w. Rre ol onnlon that the evidence presented is not sufficient to destroy whatever good reputa tion Mr. Glos may have had prior to the matters that resulted in the hearing. However, Mf Glos ob viously exercised extremely poor Judgment in serving as legal coun sel for licensees in matters that with their obtaining licenses. Accordingly, the civil service commission feels that Mr. Glos was properly subject to censure and severe disciplinary action. Therefore the Oregon Liquor Con trol Commission's personnel ac tion in this matter will not be changed.
