Ike Reports Thursday
This first session, of the first
congress in two decades to be
republican-controlled while a
republican was in the White
House, made a firm start to
ward edging away from the
democratic party's New Deal

much of it at that achieved
only with democratic aid.

Judgeship Bill
Dies in Senate
Washington IW0 A bill that
would have enhanced Oregon's
chances for a federal judgeship
died in the closing hours of
Congress.
The bill, which would have
Increased the size of the ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals, was
blocked by Sen. Pat McCarren
(D-Nev.) who Insisted that the
measure include provision for
another district judge in bis
state.
The version approved by the
Senate would have meant ap
pointment of three additional
members of the ninth circuit
bench.

Upwards of 5,000 Salem vot

they have been before by a
change in ward boundaries
called for in an ordinance bill
now before the city council.
However, the new lines have
been fixed so that all council
members remain in the wards
from which they were elected.
The new ward map, on
which City Recorder Alfred
Mundt, the city administration
and the engineering depart
ment have been working for
several months, is msde neces
sary because ward divisions
have become out of proportion.
This has been caused by an
nexations and also by the at

Only Technical
Aid From GIs
Washington, VP) The White
House says the proposal to use
the Army to help rebuild Ko
rea doesn't mean that U.S.
combat troops will - exchange
their weapons for shovels.
Secretary of State Dulles'
announcement of a plan to use
American troops to speed re
habilitation of Korea as a
showplace of the free world
brought repercussions In the
Senate.
Sen. Kefauver (D., Tenn.)
declared in a Senate speech
Monday: "We're not going to
tolerate the use of American
troops ... as forced labor in
rehabilitation work."
The White House assistant
press secretary, Murray Sny
der said in a statement that
President Eisenhower wants
U. S. forces "to give techni
cal assistance to the South Ko
rean government ... to accel
erate reconstruction." He em
phasized that combat units
would not be used as labor
troops.
City Wards
4 are increased in size, while
Wards 5, 6 and 7 are reduced.
Ward 8, which is all in Polk
County, remains the same.
The biggest change is In
Ward I which under the pres
ent lines has only about 900
registered voters. Under the
new boundary set-up it will
have 2600, an increase of 1700
voters.
While no member of the city
council is dislodged by the
proposed new set-up, It could
make a lot of difference, and
possibly result in an unusual
change of council personnel
when the next election rolls
around.
