Ike Walks
In Dust of
Arid Zone
Tells Ranchers to
Keep Chins Up;
'Doing Best'
By GAYLORD P. GOODWIN
United Press Staff Correspondent
EN ROUTE WITH EISENHOW
ER (UP) President Eisenhower,
who is personally investigating
drought conditions in six states,
walked through dust shoetop deep
today and watched gaunt cows
gulp cactus leaves from which the
spines had been burned.
The President, who spent the
night at Goodfellow air Force
Base near San Angelo, Tex., made
his first on the spot investigation
in a 22.6-mile automobile trip
south and southeast of San Angelo,
which is in West Texas.
After his trip around San Angelo,
he took off in the presidential
plane, Columbine III, for Wood
ward, Okla., and an automobile
tour of that area. He will visit
Clovis, N.M., and Tucson, Ariz.,
later today.
Farmers around San Angelo
have made only three crops in the
last eight years. The last good
crop they made was in 1949 and
the last decent crop was m 1950.
Their farms and their cattle
looked it.
Wishes Farmers Luck
"Good luck to you," the Presi
dent told Joe R. Lemley, tn Angus
cattle rancher at Pecan Station,
near San Angelo.
"Delighted to see you with your
chins up." he told a group at the
Wilbert Block ranch. "Everybody
wil1 do his best." ,
On the Earl Byrd rar.ch, he
watched hired hands and co'vboys
singe inch-long spines from prick
ly pear, a torm 01 cactus.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T.
Benson, who was with the Presi
dent, picked a prickly pear leaf

Dulles Scolds
Acheson Plan
As 'Irrelevant'
WASHINGTON Of) Secretary
of State Dulles Monday bluntly
rejected Dean Acheson's proposal
that Congress substitute for Presi
dent Eisenhower's Middle East
program a joint House-Senate
resolution expressing concern
over the Red threat to that area.
"At the present juncture."
Dulles said, "the situation is too
critical to be dealt with by a mere
expression of opinion. 1 believe
we've got to act."
Acheson, former Democratic
secretary of state, made his sug
gestions in testimony before the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
last Friday. Dulles expressed his
view to a joint session of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations and Armed
Services committees.
Without mentioning Acheson by
name, he called the Acheson pro
posal "quite irrelevant" to the
aim of demonstrating "we mean
business" in blocking Communist
aggression and sub-ersion in the
Middle East.
Dulles said also that economic
conditions in the area have de
teriorated so sharply in the last
few weeks that "some sort of an
archy" is likely unless the United
States promptly gives emergency
financial aid while assuring
American protection from the
Communist threat.
Cold, No Rain
Forecast Here
Chilly temperatures but little
or no rain are in the weather
picture for tonight and Tuesday
for Salem and vicinity.
The Monday morning minimum
dipped to 28 in Salem and another
low mark is due tonight, around
32.
Five-day forecast is for temp
eratures to be near normal
through Saturday with occasional
showers listed for the period.
New snow flurries are due in
the high mountain regions and
motorists again are warned to be
equipped with chains in traveling
any of the pass routes.
Rainfall is behind schedule for
the valley this month, only 1.66
inches being recorded to date,
against a normal of 2.67 inches.

Cancer Takes
Life of Actor
Bogart at 56
Non-Conformist Never
Gave Sign, in Final
Days, End Near
' By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD UP Humphrey
Bogart, one of the movies' great
est talents and certainly its most
non-conforming n o n-conformist,
died Monday of cancer of the
esophagus. He was 58.
As late as Saturday night. Bogie
was still Bogie. Talking optimist
ically with friends, between cus
tomary scotches, he gave no sign
me end was so near.
(Picture on Page 3, Sec. 1)
But Sunday morning he sank
into a coma from which he never
revived. The end came at 2:10
a.m. with one final deep sigh. At
his bedside was his wife, actress
Lauren Bacall. v
Asleep nearby in the sprawling
Holmby Hills- home were the two
Bogart children, Stephen, 8, and
Leslie, 4.
Bogart's physician said it was a
spread of the original malignancy
that brought death to the Acad
emy Award winning star.
Unlike most victims of cancer
in the throat area, Bogart's voice
was not affected. Until the final
coma, it was the same old Bogart
bark that used to make the tough
est screen hoodlums drop the gun.
Bogart, though dying, had been
comfortable in his last days. A
recent operation had removed
some scar tissue on a nerve and
given him much relief.
Funeral arrangements, still
pending, called for burial Wednes
day or Thursday at Eorest Lawn
Memorial Park. Mrs. Bogart
asked that flowers be omitted and
that money instead be sent to the
American Cancer Society.
Bogie, the movies' favorite
"tough guy" never would admit
publicly that cancer would beat
him.
"I'm a better man than I ever
was," he told this reporter just a
few weeks ago.
This, even after the state of his
health had become the prime
cocktail hour topic in the movie
colony.

New Cabinet Stays
Nearly Same as
Under Eden
By HAL COOPER
LONDON m Prime Minister
Macmillan Monday named a new
18-man Cabinet made up largely
of men from the Eden govern
ment which staged the abortive
invasion of Egypt.
The right wing of the Conserva
tive Party which backed for
mer Prime Minister Eden's Suez
venture kept its dominant voice
in the government.
Foreign Secretary John Selwyn
Lloyd, an architect of the Suez
invasion, remained in office.
It had been generally believed
Lloyd was marked for dismissal
because of the Suez venture's
adverse diplomatic consequences.
Richard Austen Butler, Mac
millan's chief rival for the prime
ministership, was reappointed
government leader in the House
of Commons and lord privy seal
and given the additional post of
home secretary. Butler was one
of the few top men in the Cabinet
who was cool to Eden's Suez poli
cies. Another forthright supporter of
the Suez campaign, Peter Thorney
Croft, was promoted from presi
dent of the Board of Trade to the
key post of chancellor of the ex
chequer, Macmillan's old job.
Macmillan dropped five o f
Eden's Cabinet ministers. One
was Defense Minister Anthony
Head, whose ministry carried out
the Suez invasion.
Seen as Unrepentance
The reappointment of Lloyd
stirred up the greatest controver
sy. The Liberal News-Chronicle said
it would be "read as militant
unrepentance over Suez."
The Laborite Daily Herald said
LloyJ's reappointment is a slap at
the Conservative party moderates
"and at world opinion." It added:
"His retention is a sign that
there is to be no repentance, no
apologies. It is the Premier s sop
to the right-wingers. He may re
gret it."
Lloyd, 52-year-old former Liver
pool insurance lawyer, has held
the Foreign Office post since De
cember 1955. He was minister of
state in the Foreign Office, the No.
2 post, during Eden s last term
as foreign secretary.
Many observers had expected
Butler, regarded as the leader of
the Conservative party's liberal
faction, to replace Lloyd.

38 Ballots in
Caucus Yield
No Results
The 49th Oregon Legisla
ture opened Monday with a
Senate sn deadlocked over
choosing a president that it
couldn't transact business.
Sniittintr nn nnrtv lines, the Sen
ate took 38 ballots in a caucus
that ended at 4.15 a.m.
The Legislature opened officl
iliv nt in a.m.. with the House
completing its organization as
outlined in its Driet caucus oun
day night. The Senate met an
hour later, for the sole purpose of
swearing new members.
So that Monday aucrnoon s m
aucuration of Democratic Gov.-
elect Robert D. Holmes could
proceed, the weary senators
agreed to make Sen. Jean Lewis
(D-Multnomah) its temporary
chairman.
This decision came at the end
of the unprecedented 8-hour
caucus.
After the inauguration, me sen
ators will resume the presidency
battle that has them split down
the middle.
House Organizes Fast
In .horn nnntrnst. the House
completed its organization in only
16 minutes, electing Rep. Pat
Dooley, Portland, as the first
Democratic speaner in w years.
Tho 15 Kbnate Democrats voted
on each of the 38 ballots for Sen.
Walter J. Pearson, Portland. The
15 Republicans just as stauncniy
supported Sen. Warren Gill, Leb-
The two parties also were far
apart in plans to divide the Senate
committee chairmanships and
nnmmut, minorities. Several
senators said this question has to
be settled neiore a presiaeni tan
be chosen.
The Democrats asked for most
of the top committees, while the
Republicans want an even spin.
The marathon caucus was inter
rupted several times as each
party held its own caucuses.
GOP May Back Bolvin
Tha Ronnhiirand were deter
mined that Pearson wouldn't get
the top position, wnicn carries
with it the right to succeed the
governor if the latter is absent
from the state or dies.
Several Republicans said pri
vately they would support another
Democrat, with the name of Sen.
Harry Boivin. Klamath Falls,
being mentioned most frequently.
Boivin was speaker of the House
in 1937.
But the Democrats showed no
signs of abandoning Pearson.
It even took 90 minutes to pick
Mrc Lewie the nnlv woman in
the Senate, as temporary chair
man. This position carries wnn ii
the right to preside at the inaugu
ration. The Democrats wanted Pearson
for this spot, hut the Republicans
balked. Mrs. Lewis finally was
offered by the Democrat as a
compromise, and she was elected
unanimously.

senators were so tired that some
of them had trouble expressing
themselves. Sen. Dan Dimick 'Di,
Roscburg. voiced the feeling of the
caucus when he declared. "We're
in something of a mess."
Before the balloting started, the
Senate quickly elected its chief

New Executive
Would Kill
Boards
By PAUL wThARVEY, Jr.
. Associated Press Wrller
Gov. Robert D. Holmes, in
augurated for a two-year term,
called for a "fresh, new for
ward look" Monday as he
asked for repeal of the 45 per
cent income surtax and 50 per
cent more stale school aid.
The first Democratic governor
to be inaugurated since 1935,
Holmes addressed the opening of
the 49th Legislative Assembly at
a packed joint session in the
House Chamber.
Additional Inauguration and
legislative news on Page 2.
He declared that the Legislature
should stick to the income tax as
the chief source of state revenue.
This would mean that the law
makers would have to make a big
increase in income tax rates to
replace the money that would be
lost by repeal of the surtax and
to finance the increased school
aid.
Smith for Repeal, Too
Outgoing Gov. Elmo Smith, who
made his farewell speech lust
before Holmes took the oath of
office, also favored repeal of the
surtax, smitn, loo, called for more
school support, although he didn't
suggest any specific amount.
state aid to schools', based on
the present rate of $S0 per school
census child per year, would cost
$77,361,760 in the two-year budget
period beginning next Julv 1. In
creasing it to $120 per child, as
I recommended by Holmes, meant
tno Legislature would have to
find an extra 39 million dollars. .
Holmes also asked that the
formula for distributing school aid
be changed in order to equalize
educational opportunities.
Among 40 requests. Holmes
asked for changes in government
organization.
He called for abolishment of the
state Liquor Control Commission.

lie requested that the non-sal-
aried part-lime parole hoard be
put on a lull-lime paid basis.
I no Legislature wns asked to
provide for study which would
lead to doing away with many
hoards and commissions, trans
ferring the powers of most of them
to the governor.
Holmes asked that a Stale
Development Department he cre
ated to attract new industries.
His power recommendations did
not call for federal construction
of mulli-purpose dams, as had
been expected.
He said the Legislature should
encourage the state's congres
sional delegation to "urge imme
diate construction of John Day
Dam." hut he didn't say that
puhlic funds should build it.
