Salem, Oregon, Friday, Hungary Reds Move to Curb Mass Escapes VIENNA (UP) Hungarian Communists urged today severe punishment" for persons who in cite or help others to escape from their Soviet-dominated homeland. The Russian grip on Hungary was pointed up by Radio Buda pest Thursday night. The Communist-run radio said Hungarian po lice reached agreement with the Soviet city command to ease the curfew in the Hungarian capital. The curfew now will be in effect from midnight to 4 a.m. instead 01 me former 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. restriction. Budapest Radio also annniinrpri the new effort by the Janos Ka dar regime to curb mass escapes. About 183.000 Hungarians have fled since the freedom-from-.Mos- cow uprising flared last October. The radij said the envernmpnt has called on the Hungarian Peo ples Republic Presidential Coun cil to impose "severe punishment for persons who help people to escape or make propaganda for leaving the country. Informed sources said the mm. Ishment for such activities under present law is two to three years imprisonment. The Presidential Council is the supreme administrative body in Hungary, but actually has no real power. It is therefore expected to approve a new law in accordance with the Communist regime's sug gestion. 17 Frosli Race ThroughMath GOLDEN, Colo.

Preliminary plans have been made between the city and the fair board to provide the street extension in connection with the development of an arterial street between Mission and North Salem but legislative approval is needed before it can be put into effect. Involved in the plan is 17th street which would be curved to 16th at the fairgrounds and then proceed along the west edge of the grounds to a junction with Fairgrounds road and eventually to Portland road. The measure, which was intro duced in the senate Thursday, states the fair board may require the city to provide some land for the fairgrounds in exchange for the strip.

Hatfield, secretary of state, was re-elected chairman of the Marion-Polk unit of the Oregon Is the Boom Topping Out? New Clues Not Likely Until March By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK HI Businessmen are hoping today that February will come up with the clue they waited for in vain in January. The clue they seek is to the big gest question of the day: Is the boom topping out? January offered a few signs that the boom is getting tired. Businessmen hope that February may prove these signs wrong. But they may have to wait till March to be sure. A five-man group of government and private economists has just told Congress that a few small ! gains here and there should pull r. ! 'he economy whole a little higher this year. Some of them put their faith in increased spending this year by the federal, state and local gov ernments to offset the leveling off of private spending. How the tax payers will feci about that isn't being stressed. February could furnish a clue to the big factor: consumer spend ing. Merchants did pretty well with their clearance sales in Jan uary. In February consumer spending will be on a more nor mal basis. Also to be watched this month is the trend in business spending for expansion of plant and new equipment. January saw a hand ful of the biggest corporations draw in their horns a little a move that some slock traders were quick to consider bearish. Announced plans call for big spending in the first halt ot this year on corporate expansion pro grams. What businessmen are wondering: Will there be still more of these announced soon? Or has the post-Korean peak been reached? The trend in prices may become clearer too this month.

Mrs. Marvin McClain and Oscar Engcr reviewed plans for cancer crusades in the residential and business districts, respectively. lief in the industrial world that price trends in these, particularly in the case of scrap, foretell the future for metal production. There is also much uncertainty as to what kind of a year the home builders will have. Applications this month for federal guarantees on mortgages should give a clue. Easing ot the tight money sit uation in January led some to think that a turn had come in the big investment boom. February should be a much better lest of that. The money market oases in January seasonally as business men repay their pre-Chrislmas loans and individuals pay their Christmas bills. Last month the easing seemed larger than usual. If money stays easier this month it could indicate business thinking on expansion, on buying for inventory, even on production plans The trend of retail prices as distinct from commodity prices may get its testing this month too. Government officials say they can't be sure where retail prices arc going just nov.

HAROLD OLIVER WASHINGTON W - H. Meade Alcorn Jr., a champion of Presi' dent . Eisenhower's "modern Re publicanism," formally assumes today the chairmanship of the Re publican National Committee. The new chairman, successor to Leonard W. Hall who resigned, faces many problems. Perhaps the most important is how to unite the party behind candidates who can win back control of Congress from the Democrats in 1958. Some Republicans in Congress still contend tho national party organization paid too little atten tion to the congressional races in 1956. Only yesterday, Rep. Noah Mason (R-Illl, veteran conserva tive, complained "about the 1956 campaign.' Calling for rededicat ing the GOP to the principles of Lincoln, he said this would never take place so long as the national committee "spends 90 per cent of its campaign funds to elect the two candidates at the head of the ticket and forgets about the candi dates below the top." Alcorn, a Hartford, Conn., law yer, was elected Jan. 22 with Eisenhower's support. He has pledged to work tirelessly to strengthen parly organization at all levels. In accepting the chair manship, he said the GOP could win the Senate and House next year if it combines good candi dates with a good program and strong organization.' Alcorn had another complaint on his desk as ho moved into the national hcadquarters.This was a letter from Rep. Scherer (R Ohio), who wants Harold E. Stas sen booted oft the Eisenhower team. Scherer took Issue with Stas- sen's Jan. 27 statement that the Republicans would have won con trol of Congress had Christian A. Hcrter of Massachusetts been Eisenhower's running mate. He said it "obviously is Ihc beginning ot another dump Nixon move for 1960." Scherer said, "It is men like Stassen and there are a number of'them who make it extremely difficult and embarrassing for us Taft Republicans who arc trying to play as hard as we know how on the Eisenhower team." Alcorn opposed Slassen's unsuc cessful attempt last August to have Hcrter nominated for vice president in place of Nixon. Some other problems facing Al corn: Preparing for special elections to fill a Senate vacancy in Texas and House vacancies in New Mex. ico and New Jersey. Naming a five-man committee to press Republican organization in the South. Organizing for gubernatorial elections next November in New Jersey and Virginia. Alcorn will serve without pay but with an expense account in cluding living quarters here. 24,100 Have Entered U. S. As Refugees CAMP KILMER. N.

In a race relations Sunday mess age designed to be read from the nation s pulpits Feb. 10, the feder ation of 30 American churches de clared that Christians "must not rest until segregation is banished irom every area of American life."

"Much progress has been made toward the goal of a non segregated society but we are still lar from tho promised land."
