Ike Answers 'Rot' to
Rumor
Be fore
Tells Drivers
Never Again
To Speed
WASHINGTON (AP)
President Eisenhower said
Wednesday reports he will
-at resign before the end of
his second term and turn
his duties over to Vice President
Nixon arc the worst i"ot he has
heard since taking office.
Eisenhower- also told a news
conference in comment on his
speedy trip to Gettysburg, Pa.,
last Friday, he has issued orders
that his limousine is never to ex
ceed the speed limit at any place.
And he said he hopes there can
he a tax cut before the end of
his second term, but he declined
lo speculate as to just when a re
duction may be possible.
A reporter told Eisenhower
there have been reports and ru
mors lately that he might step
out of the presidency, when world
conditions permit, and have Nixon
take over.
Shows Surprise, Temper
Eisenhower appeared to register
some surprise. Then he said em
phatically those reports are the
worst rot he has heard since he
has been in office.
Showing irritation, the Presi
dent said he knows of no reason
why any speculative writer should
doubt his basic integrity and
honesty.
He recalled that at the time he
announced for a second term he
reported that his doctors felt he
was able to carry on, and , that
he himself had decided he was
able to do so.
Eisenhower added he had no
Idea where reports he might re
sign came from.
The first question nut to Eisen.
hbwer was a request for comment
on his fast trip to Gettysburg last
weekend. . .-
A reporter told him the trip got
a lot of attention because news
men trying to keep up with his
car were flagged down for speed
ing. Was In Conference
With a smile, Eisenhower re
plied that for a good many years
he has used the back seat of his
car to carry on conferences.
He said that on the trip last
Friday he was engaged in a 'con
ference. Because of that, Eisen
.hower said, he had no idea of his
limousine's speed. The driver was
a Secret Service man.
Eisenhower went on to say he
now has issued orders that his
car should never exceed the speed
limit at any place. '
Newsmen who accompanied Ei
senhower last Friday reported his
limousine hit 75 miles an hour at
times. Nowhere along the '80 mile
route does the speed limit permit
more than 55 miles an hour.
On other subjects, the President
had this to say:

SANTIAGO, Chile Iffl New

anti-inflation rioting.
About 1.000 Chileans attacked

Tuesday night rioting, punctuated
by frequent army fire, left scores
of dead and wounded.
The mobs, defying a govern
ment order to remain indoors,
tried to storm the doors of the
Pan American Bank and were
driven off after heavy army gun
fire. The rioters tried to over
whelm the soldiers, then fled as
the soldiers oocned fire.
The rioters stoned the exclusive
Club de la Union and club mem
bers who had rushed to the bal
conies. Automobiles in front of the
club were destroyed. ,:.

was in poor repair; and the space

HACKED
SDcakcr Sam Rayburn, com-
mentiiie on the President's re-
marks, said Democrats plan to
make a study to determine wheth
er a tax cutting bill should be en
acted this year, effective next
Jan. 1.
"Werc going to make some re
views," Rayburn told newsmen.
"Whether we will act or not this
year, I don't know. If there is a
tax cut. Congress will make it
and it's a Democratic Congress."
Budget Cut Row Rages
The tax deduction talk spread
as arguments continued to rage
over whether President Eisenhow
er's $71.8 billion budget should be
cut. In the midst of the arguments,
the House made another siash in
the $2.8 billion requested by Mr.
Eisenhower to run the departments
of Labor and Health, Education
and Welfare.
By a vote of 162 to 140, the
House eliminated all funds, $50
million, from a new federal pro
gram to help states build sewage
disposal plants. The house so far
has cut a total of $68.4 million
from funds for the two depart
ments. - '
Treasury Undersecretary W.
Randolph Burgess told the Senate
Finance Committee that a cut of
$2 billion to $3 billion would be
"a sound thing."
Contradicted by Ike
. Mr. Eisenhower- contradicted
him. The President,,' continuing to
defend the size of his budget, told
his news conference that a cut of
as much as $2 billion in his spend
ing program would impair nation
al security.
Later, in a speech to a Republi
can women's conference, the Pres
ident said that his budget is nec
essary to pay the high cost of
peace. He said Americans must
"sacrifice" something for peace
"so we won't have to sacrifice our
sons."

Budget of
Fair Gets
House OK
15 Per Cent Boost
Stirs Several
Coin plain Is
The $976,027 biennial
budget of 'the Orceon
State Fair, which is caught
m the throes ol attempts
to change its management,
weathered a stormy attack in
the House Wednesday and was
sent to the Senate. .
The House passed the budget
43-13.
- After Bep. Leon S. Davis (Rt,
Hillsboro,. explained that the bud
get is up . 15 per cent because of
the need for improvements to
buildings., he pointed out that the
budget is financed entirely by ad
mission charges .and ' rentals of
concession space.
- Get What They Asked .
Opponents objected that ho' in
crease was being granted to .the
4-H and Future Farmers divisions
of the fair. Davis answered that
those groups were getting every
thing they asked. -
An attempt to send the bilf back
to the Ways and Means Commit
tee was beaten 34-23.
Besides complaints about the in
crease, there also were attacks on
the horse racing meet that is held
at the fair.
Another bill., supported by Gov.
Holmes, would abolish the Fair
Commission and let the Depart
ment of Agriculture run the fair.
This bill is bottled up in the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee by a
4-4 vote.

Holmes Choice
Of Fair Board
Due Thursday
sGov.' Robert D, Holmes Tuesday
accepted the resignation of four
members of the Oregon State Fair
Commission and it was indicated
he would announce his new com
mission Thursday.
Last of the commissioners to
submit his resignation was Mollis
H. Goodrich, Jr., Portland, who
said Wednesday he submitted it
last week following receipt of a
letter from the governor request
ing the resignation. ,
First of the commissioners to
submit his resignation was the
chairman, Dr. Earl B. Stewart,
Roseburg. The resignations of Mrs.
Bernard O. Schticking, Salem, and
Henry Ahrcns, Turner, followed.
The term of the fifth member of
the commission, Harold Barnctt,
Pendleton, expired Tuesday.
Gov. Holmes withheld acceptance
of the resignations until the fate of
the bill putting Oregon State Fair
under the Director of Agriculture
had been decided. That was left
in Senate Agriculture committee
two weeks ago by a tie vote, with
one member of the committee,
Francis Ziegler, Corvallis, not
voting.

U.S. Condemns
Hungary Reds'
'Stalin Terror'
WASHINGTON 1 The United
Slates Wednesday , accused Mos
cow's puppet regime in Hungary
of reverting "to some of the worst
practices of the Stalinist terror.
it charged furthermore that the
continued presenco of Russian
forces in Hungary shows the re
gime of Janos Kadar does not
have the confidence of the people
and cannot exist without the pro
tection or uovict troops."
The U.S. statement was prompt
ed by a joint pronouncement is
sued m Moscow March 2B by the
Soviet and Hungarian govern
ments which reasserted the So
viet Communist policy that the
United Nations has no right to
interest itself in the Hungarian
problem.
The State Department charged
that the Moscow declaration had
"again falsified the record by
claiming the uprising of the Hun
garian people last October and
November was a "Fascist count
cr-rcvolution unleashed by the
United States."
The record clearly shows, the
State Department declared, that
the uprising was spontaneous
and was "supported by the entire
nnltnn "
Arid, it said, the -uprising was
crushed "only by the intervention
of soviet armed forces.

BIGGEST SNOW IN
Rockies Dry Sections
Jubilant Over Storm
DENVER Ifl The heaviest
spring snowstorm in 22 years
moved out of the Rocky Mountain
states today, leaving five dead
and abundant water for the area
pinched by drought since 1949.
Jubilant farm leaders said the
stacks of snow some as high as
eases apparently floated for a
distance before coming apart.
Since the cans and bottles had
almost enough buoyancy to float,
only a small amount of current
was needed to carry them along
the bottom for considerable dis
tances, Copt. (Henri Bowman
said. Many settled In clusters In
low areas. He estimated that at
least 75 prr cent of the stolen
beer was In the ditch. How much
the thieves may have taken with
then was unknown.
It was the second theft from
the company In two nights. A
similar entry Monday night re
sulted In the theft of 2fi eases or
heer. It was presumably taken
by the thieves, however, and not
dunped lo the ditch.
