Ike lo Act if (Continued from Pane 1) Questioning of the President cen tered on economic matters and he sought to make it plain his ad ministration is watching develop ments with the utmost care. Krnt on Alert He said for the past several niniik. ha nnH hi nrR-icprc h.ive been alert day by day to make sure no real recession develops. II it iooks as ii a rcai rcrcssiun is developing, the President said, he would not hesitate to use every measure the government could bring to bear. Hut in the meantime, he said, it would be a serious mistake for the envornment to take any sort of wild action. One thing the government might well do to halt a true depression, he said in reply to a question, is propose tax reductions that would directly aid consumers, no appar ently meant income tax cuts but ; did not go into detail. Warning on Partisanship Eisenhower was asked at anoth er point if he was satisfied with the response by Republican speech makers lo his warning last week against extreme partisanship. He replied, after some hesitation that he did not particularly offer advise last week but merely stated what he thought was right and tl.c wisest thing to do. i At last week's news conference the President was asked if his re marks could be interpretedd as counseling moderation on ine pan of his official family when talking in public about the Democrats. He replied his comments could be I so interpreted. He added at anoth er point last week that he would expect the Republican National Committee similarly to avoid exx- trcme partisanship Thousands of gray whales migrate every autumn from the Arctic, down the westrrn coast of America to the hay.- of lower I California and return about the i middle of March. Squeeze Play (Continued from Part 1) British informants said the Big Four agreed to meet again in a sixth secret session Thursday m o r n i r g. This gave further strength to a suggestion the min isters had failed as yet to meet any firm agreement on Far East ern problems but still had enough to talk about to meet once more. As the conference schedule now stands, discussion on an Austrian independence treaty may be brought up in the last session, but U. S. Secretary of State Dulles and his advisers think there is no chance Molotov will reverse his position and agree on a treaty whicn would mean prompt with drawal of all foreign forces from Austria. Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov proposed Wednesday the Big Four re-examine the size and armaments of East and West Ger man police forces and organize "all-German" groups to normalize relations in the divided nation. The Russian asked the Berlin conference to ease life for the di vided Germans with a limited pro gram. He refused to go along with the West's demand for unification that would do the job completely. Says Industry (Continued from Page 1) "In 1946, too, economic indus trial power from atomic energy sources seemed very remote: To- aay, it is clearly in sight largely a matter of further research and development, and the establish ment of conditions in which the spirit of enterprise can flourish." The President proposed a num ber of amendments to the atomic energy act. He said with emphasis, however, that changes should "make it clear that the authority granted must be exercised only in accordance with conditions prescribed by the President to protect the common defense and security." And he stressed that no secrets are to be given away which would be of mil itary advantage to potential ene mies. Ban in Present Law Under present law. the Presi dent said, this country cannot give its allies "practical information es sential to their effective participa tion witn us in combined mili tary operations and planning, and to their own defense against atom ic attack. "Our own security will in crease," he said, "as our allies gain information concerning the use of and the defense against atomic weapons. "Some of our allies, in fact, are now producing fissionable mater ials or weapons, supporting ef fective atomic energy research and developing peace time uses for atomic power. "But all of them should become better informed in the problems of atomic warfare and, therefore, better prepared to meet the con tingency of such warfare. In or der for the free world to be an effective defense unit, it must be geared to the atomic facts of this era." Club Organized for Training of Dogs Salem 4-H n embers interested in dog training organized this week under the leadership of Mrs. II. L. Burch, 530 Jefferson street. J. If. Willet, Salem, and R. II.

Men Club Member THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon Supreme Court (Continued from Page 1) The chief justice said the num ber of appeals filed with the Supreme court is rapidly increas ing resulting in a steadily mount ing back log of cases waiting to be heard. By hearing the majority of cases by departments, Chief Justice Latourette expects to im prove the efficiency of the Court and to reduce the backlog to the point when the Court will again be on a current basis. Multnomah Has Backlog Because of a heavy backlog of cases in Multnomah county Chief Justice Latourette assigned three pro tem judges to hear cases in that county. William J. Crawford, Franklin C. Howell and Claude M. Jones, Jr., all Portland attor neys were named to serve as judges pro tempore in Multno mah county for thirty days. "The time lag from the date cases become an issue until date of trial has been reduced in Mul tnomah county from 14 months to eight months and if more court room facilities were available in Multnomah county I would as sign even more pro tem judges to make a further appreciable re duction in the number of cases ready and awaiting trial there," the Chief Justice said. Late Judge Reversed The court reversed the late Judge Charles H. Combs in a case of Clyde Lawrence, Oregon City, appellant against his di vorced wife, Madeline Lawrence. The trial court held in a de claratory judgment that Lawr ence was required to continue payments of $150 to his ex-wife under an agreement that he would do so until the defendent should re-marry or earn more than $250 a month. Mrs. Lawr ence, who had been employed at $240 a month, refused to accept a 10 per cent increase in salary. in reversing this judgment, Chief Justice Latourcte said: "To all intents and purposes, when she was offered the additional ten per cent in salary, she, in con templation of law, earned the same. Injury Claim Denied Denial of a claim by John D. Conley for compensation from the State Industrial Accident com mission on the ground that he had not suffered an injury by accident, was upheld by the su preme court. In affirming the de cision of Circuit Judge Fred Me Henry, Justice Perry stated: "When it cannot be said that reasonable minds would reach but one conclusion from the facts adduced, the court is not at lib vy j vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy Q ygdl (so its erty to disturb the verdict of a jury. A decision of Circuit Judge Vir gil H. Langtry, ordering Clifford A. White to pay $125 a month to his divorced wife, Veronica M. White for support of a minor child was affirmed by the entire court.
