Ike Urged To
Avenge Attack
- Los Angeles (U.PJ The
heads of the CIO, President
Walter P. Reuther and Secretary
treasurer James B. Carey, today
called on President Eisenhower
to avenge the denunciation he
received from Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy.
Reuther and Carey issued
statements yesterday saying Mc
Carthy's denunciation should
lead the- President to "reject the
McCarthy cult before they de
nounce him."
Reuther and Carey interrupted
the CIO's 16th annual conven
tion to give their views on Mc
Carthy's attack on the President.
Carey expressed the hope that
the President would "belatedly
reject McCarthy's support which
he cultivated in 'his 1952 hunt
for votes.
"Maybe the President" also
will belatedly defend a great
American, Gen. George Marshall,
whom he abandoned in order to
remain in McCarthy's good
graces," he added.
Reuther said yesterday's at
tack by McCarthy was "further
proof" that the Republican party
was seriously and deeply di
vided. He said, "It is a tragedy
that is incapable of effective
leadership in this period of
world crisis."

New Bridge Over
Snake Being Eyed
Portland (U.PJ The State
Highway Commission said to
day it would try to make ar
rangements immediately to build
a new bridge over the Snake
river at Nyssa where part of
the present structure collapsed
last Saturday.
R. H. Baldock, state highway
engineer, estimated . that a
brand new bridge would cost
between $400,000 and $500,000.
He said Oregon has an agree
ment with Idaho in which each
will pay half the cost whenever
the Oregon commission decides
a bridge is needed.
He said a timber span repair
ing the old bridge should be
ready for traffic by Friday night.
In other business, Baldock told
the commission that a president
ial committee studying a pro
posed national highway devel
opment envisions expenditure of
$24,000,000,000. Oregon, he said,
could expect possibly $25,000,
000,000. But. if the state should
get credit for the regional high
way improvement already done,
the state might be reimbursed
for some $50,000,000. ,

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE
Geary Doubts
Gas Tax Hike
Portland U.R) Rep. Ed
Geary, Klamath Falls, chairman
of the State Legislative High
way Interim committee, said
here yesterday his committee
probably will refuse to recom
mend a two-cent increase, in the
state gas tax to the next session
of the legislature.
, . Geary told members of the
Oregon Trucking association,
however, that the highway com
mission's case for the 'increase
to bolster the highway building
program, was a strong one.
Geary said President Eisen
hower's national highway pro
gram is not yet - sufficiently
evolved for the states to plan
their parts in it or their need
for additional funds. He indicat
ed that Oregon may find it nec
essary in the future to increase
its tax on gasoline even more
than the two cents recommend
ed by the highway commission.
The truckers also heard Sen.
John Hounsell, Hood River, and
Sen. Phil Brady, Portland,
speaking as panel members at
the association's three-day con
vention here.
"Cow trees" that grow in the
tropical forests of Venezuela
