WASHINGTON President
Eisenhower Monday called on
Congress "to act quickly" in pro
viding a four-year, $1,300,000,000
program of federal grants to help
the states build new schools.
In a special message, Eisenhow
er asked that the measure "be
enacted on its own merits, un
complicated by provisions dealing
with the complex problems of in
tegration." By that means he sought to
forestall another such fight as the
one in which last year's school aid
bill bogged down.
Asked 5-Year Plan
At that time the White House
proposed a $1,250, 000,000 five-year
plan. The House went up to $1-
600,000,000 for four years, accept
ed an amendment by Rep. Powell
(D-NYi barring aid to segregated
schools, and then killed the whole
bill. The Senate never acted.
There was every indication, de
spite Eisenhower s plea, that the
fight over racial integration and
perhaps over other issues would
be repeated.
The presidential message also
called for 7o0 million dollars in
federal authorization to buy. local
school construction bonds when
school districts cannot sell them
at reasonable interest rates.
Eisenhower already had shown
the outlines of this year's proposal
in his State of-the Union message
Honors Campaign Pledge
By proposing that the .school
construction program be carried
out in four years instead of five
as recommended last year, Eisen
hower honored an election cam
paign pledge. He had promised to
try to make up for time lost be
cause the measure was not enact
ed in 1956.
One section of the administra
tion proposal carried an addition-

NEW YORK W Mayor Rob

of Saudi Arabia, who arrives
Tuesday en route to Washington
for conferences with President Ei

city welcome if Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia should ever visit New

Speaking Sunday night at a din

the Jewish National Fund, Wag

"There appears that two visits
by foreign rulers may begin here.
"One of these Is the dictator of
Yugoslavia. We don't want him in
New York, because he's a Commu

Defense Chief
Urges No Slice
Of Arms Funds
WASHINGTON Ifl Secretary
Wilson told Congress Monday he
cannot foresee any reduction in
th- current level of military
spending, now more than half
the total cost of the government.
Reviewing the military program
before the House Armed Services
Committee, the secretary of de
fense said "we are all struggling
in every way to savemoney" but
that "the situation is such we
can't forecast any big reduc
tions."
Wilson testified he was satisfied
the nation's defenses are ade
quate on the basis of budget
spending estimates of 38 billion
dollars.
And he said he feels the admin
istration's decision to keep U.S.
defenses strong has been tested
and prored sound by the Middle
East and Hungarian crises.
Wilson was asked whether the
Middle East troubles and the
President's request for congres
sional authority to use troops
there in case of any Communist
led aggression, foreshadowed any
increase in military manpower or
the defense budget.
Wilson said none is anticipated.
He also referred the question to
Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
at his side.
Radford said he concurred with
Wilson's reply, and added that the
idea behind the President's pro
posals "is to stabilize conditions
there."

lomats of six West European na
tions admitted failure Monday in
their efforts to set up a common
market and a joint atomic pro

ahead at future sessions.
Chief stumbling blocks were
methods of integrating and financ
ing France's overseas territories
and how to determine the tariff
wall that pool countries will joint
ly set up against products from
other areas.
It had been hoped to have
treaties ready after three-day
meeting here, but now a new tar

That precedes by one day the
opening in Paris of a meeting of
the Organization for uropcan

will meet here Feb. 4 to tackle

Seen in
days before minimums are above
the freezing mark, warns the
weather bureau. About your best
bet to get really warm is to work
yourself into a stew over the
mounting fuel bills, the bursting
water pipes and the loss of your
pet f wers and plants, just to men
tion a lew inconveniences.
Monday morning's minimum in
Salem was at the 13-degree mark
A similar mark, or maybe up to I
15, is due for tonight. The Sun-1
day minimum was 9. the lowest
since in November, 1955, when the
mercury also hit 9. And., remem
ber, it could be much colder and I
has bee- colder here, the all-time j
being the 10 degrees below zero:
in January of 1950.
An icy wind continues to make
conditions more uncomfortable,
the frigid blast from the north
still blowing this way, although not
as high in velocity as the last of
the week. Increasing cloudiness
is forecast for Tuesday, but still
low temperatures.
Five-day forecast calls for con
tinued cold weather with tempera
tures to be way below normal, a
slow rising trend due to set in with
prospectr of some light snow or
rain about Friday or Saturday.
Meanwhile, minimums will con
tinue in a range from 12 to 25.
Sunday's maximum in Salem
went only to 26. six degrees below
freezing. So the blue skies and
bright sunshine are nice to see
but not too warming.
Most of the troubles from the
intense cold here continue with ob
jects that have to do with water.
Several fire districts have report
ed trouble with pumps freezing on
their trucks due to insufficient
heat in the stations.

Breaks Up
Pieces of steel up to a foot

said the plant would he shut down
two weeks for repairs.
Sam Brown of the state Indus-

broke up and described it as one
of the worst accidents of the kind
he'd seen. He added that it was
"miraculous" that no one was
hurt.
It happened at 7:30 a m., just
as the mill was starting up after
a weekend shutdown.
The wheel, in the band saw

Real Estate Chief Says
He Refuses to Quit
'On Principle'
Gov. Robert D. Holmes promised
to issue a statement later Monday
concerning his request for the res
ignation of Real Estate Commis
sioner Ragnor Johnson.
Johnson reported over the week
end that he had been requested to
resign from the post. He has re
fused, saying his insistence in re
maining in office until the expira
tion of his term in 1958 "was a
matter of principle and nothing
more."
The real estate commissioner de
clared today that he had no inten
tion of carrying on the controversy
with the governor in the news
papers. "However, I did not ask for this
job and accepted it at consider
able personal sacrifice to myself
and family," he said.
"I had hoped to continue a four-
year program of education that I
instituted shortly after I took over
the office," the real estate com
missioner explained.
Under our educational program
we have lifted the standards of
ethics in the real estate profession
and have instituted an educational
program resulting in the granting
of nine scholarships on real estate
to youngsters going to college,"
he said. -
The real estate commissioner
said he had asked for an interview
with the governor on Jan. 10 but
had received no response. He said
he holds no animosity toward the
the governor.

Beck could not be reached im

But James R. Hoffa. Detroit,
a Teamster Union vice president,

The Executive Council met in

Hoffa said the Teamsters

Teamsters arc "an autonomous

Rep. Don Willner (D-Multno-
mah), who led the proponents of
Hells Canyon dam, contended that
the three dams proposed by the
Idaho Power company would re
sult in power costs three times
higher than power from the high
dam at Hells Canyon.
'Not Partisan Matter'
"This is not a partisan matter."
he said, "but we aro fighting for
the future of our state and believe
this depends, to a largo extent,
upon cheap hydro-electric power."
K. r. Perry, attorney tor Idaho
Power company, told the commit-
tee that Brownlec dam. the larx

would be completed in 1858.
Nearly 1,000 men are working
around the clock on the project,
he said, men who would be thrown
out of work if the purpose of the
memorial was carried out.
"The power from Brownlee proj
ect, amounting to 300.000 kilowatts,
will be available in the early win
ter of 1958," Perry said, "while it
will take seven years for any pow
er production from Hells Canyon
dam if Congress ever approves

While the greater part of the
power developed by the Idaho
ccmpany will go to serve its own
territory. Perry said surplus pow
er would go into the Northwest
power pool. He added that it will
replace power that would be re
quired by the company from other
areas, and thus release power, to
the Willamette valley.
Perry said the federal Dower
commission found that the depend
able capacity of the two proposals
was substantially identical with
the dependable capacity of the
cu.ipany's plants rated at 767.000
kilownlts as compared to the high
