WASHINGTON w - Some col

aid today they see less than a
50 n0 chance that he will seek the
ln Kepublican presidential nom
ination. They ' reached that conclusion
after reassessing his announce.
men! last week that he will leave
the .Senate when his present term
expires in January 1959.
His surprise announcement was
Interpreted widely at first as indi
cating he plans to run for the Re
publican nomination for governor
in California next year. That move
was considered a possible stepping
(tone toward a bid for the presi
dency. Knowland declined to confirm or
deny the speculation.
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of Cali
fornia hopes to learn on a visit
here in the next few days whether
there is any such possibility.
Knight, planning to attend Presi
dent Eisenhower's inaugural, ex
pects to confer with Know-land.
Knight, a Republican, has given
every indication he wants to run
for re-election next year.
If Knowland should choose to
geek the governorship, signs now
point toward a primary battle with
Knight. The winner, if elected gov
ernor, then might pit himself
against another Californian, Vice
President Nixon, in the battle for
the party's 1960 presidential nomi
nation
While he hasn't closed the door
to this possibility, Knowland has
gone a long way toward convincing
some of hts associates that person
al considerations were more influ
ential than political reasons tor his
decision to retire from the benale.
Knowland is said to have com
mented that his family har in the
Oakland Tribune a property worth
several million dollars which he
believes needs his personal atten
tion. He said at the time of his an
nouncement he had always regard
ed hir.isclf as a newspaperman and
wanted to get back in that busi
ness. He noted that his publisher
father is S3 years old.
Some of Knowland's colleagues
believe Knowland might bow to a
"draft" movement if Knight should
chang his mind about running
again. He might run, they said.
If it became apparent there was
lUDstantial opposition to Knight's
candidacy among California Re
publicans. But unless the path was fairly
governor's race,
It might be doubtful whether he
could expect substantial support
tor the presidential nomination
without holding public office.

Hit by Some as
Inflationary
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON (A - The House
Appropriations Committee set out
today to try to whittle down Pres
ident Eisenhower's request to
spend $71,807,000,000 during the
next fiscal year.
One day after receiving Eisen-
needs of the Interior, Post Office
and Treasury departments.
Members hope to chop substan
tial sums from the (73.300.ooo.ooo
in requests for new appropria
tions, some of which wou.d carry
over to later years.
Some Democrats and some Re
publicans complained about the
size of the budget for the year
starting next July 1, referring to
it as inflationary.
And Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey cautioned that "we will I The site of the budget, a record

ing. He added that he probably
would quit his job if, in the event
of a depression, the Eisenhower
administration tries to fight it
with methods involving deficit
spending.
He said he wasn't criticizing the
administration for the size of the
budget. But he said the rising
trend of federal budgets "should
promptly be stopped."
for sharp cuts in appropriations,
on which spending is based.
The President forecast a year
end surplus of $1,800,000,000 which
he said would be applied toward
reduction of the 272-billion-dollar
national debt, now costing more
than seven billions annually in in
terest charges.
Some members are known to
feel that if Congress could cut the
planned spending total several bil
lion more, there might be enough
of a surplus to provide tax relief
in 1938, a congressional election
year.
No sooner had Eisenhower's
budget message been read than
a partisan argument broke out on
the House floor.
Chairman Cannon (D-Mo) of the
House Appropriations Committee
called the budget "inflationary."
And he complained that "there is
no retrenchment, no economy."
Up jumped Rep. Halleck of In
diana, the assistant House Repub
lican leader, to say that Cannon
was showing a "new-found solic
itude" about the effects of infla
tion on the American people. Hal
leck said that in past years Can
non was one of those "feeding
those fires of inflation rather than
trying to put them out."
In an interview today. Rep.
Tabor ot New York, sanior Repub
lican member of the Appropria
tions Committee, said the budget
"can and will" be cut by Con
gress. "There is a tremendous lot of
waste, especially in the Defense
Department," Taber said.
Rxiss Charge
Yanks Aided
Egypt Attack
MOSCOW UP) Soviet Fleet,
the navy newspaper, charged
Thursday that B r i t i s h-French
forces invaded Egypt last Novem
ber "under the cover of U. S.
naval and air protection."'
Soviet propaganda, seeking to
tar the United States with the
same brush of "aggression" that
It has used on Britain and France,
kept its campaign going against
U. S. Middle East policies.
Soviet Fleet said the operation
against Egypt was a "complex
collusion of colonialists" and- the
U. S. 6th Fleet in the Mediter
ranean "played a sinister role in
preparing and unleashing the aggression."
Gas Dealers Ask
Laws to Prevent
Supplier Control
ROSEBL'RG State laws to
prevent major oil companies from
putting any controls on retailers
were urged Wednesday by the
Oregon Retail Gasoline Dealers
Assn.
At a meeting here. fi.i dealers
app.oved a program that would
enable retailers to set their own
prices and end contracts that per
mit oil companies to designate the
rtirms from which dealers buy
tires, batteries and accessories.
They also proposed a law to
give retailers a 2 per cent tax
credit for shrinkage caused by
evaporation. A third proposal
would have dyes put in gasoline
sold to off-highway users, such as
farmers and loggers, to simpnty
checking on violations.
Nehru ('ritieizes
Mid-East Policy
NEW DELHI (iB Prime Min
ister Nehru said Thursday the
Eisenhower Doctrine on the Mid
dle East could make the situation
there "more difficult" because it
links military aid with economic
assistance.
"To give economic help to these
countries is good." Nehru told
newsmen when he arrived from
Calcutta, "but to tie it up with
military help ties it up with the
coid war and makes the situation
more difficult."
Nehru's comments so far on the
Lisenhower proposals are consid
ered moderate. Informants say
this is due partly to the influence
01 nis recent talks with the Amer
ican president and oartlv to Neh
ru s desire to see how the Middle
Fast countries react to the new
American policy.
