Unilad Prau Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Analy
sis of President Eisenhower's
new budeet shows it to be the
most vigorous
statement in
behalf of pri
vate enterprise
to come from
the White
House since
the Hoover ad
ministration. :
The ' philoso
phy of maxi-
, mum local and
LyU C. WltoMi r e g i o n a i
responsibility in the field of pub-'
lie expenditures and of maxi
mum use of private funds where
possible for everything - from
housing to the building of dams
were basic in Mr. Eisenhower's
message. f . ;v' . v ,
The Presidentrepeated his fa
vorite thumb nail description of
his own political point of view:
"a liberal attitude toward the
welfare pf people and a conser
vative approach to the use of
their money." t
Pressure toward decentraliza
. tion of government and the
withdrawal of government from
areas of competition with local
and regional authorities "and
with private industry are funda
mental in this administration.
Moving Ahead ;
: "We are moving ahead," the
President reported, "in taking
the government out of business
wherever this can properly be
done." . .',
He called the roll of orosress
in ' that direction: The sovern-
ment's inland waterways sys
tem nad been sold. The mighty
reconstruction . finance corpora
tion was being' liquidated. Sold
or shut down 'were numerous
defense plants.
I Private industry was now do
ing almost half of major over
hauls for the Air Force.
" The synthetic rubber slants
set up during wartime shortag
es were being sold, subject to
congressional approval. All of
, these, Mr. Eisenhower , said,
would strengthen private enter
prise and in many instances not
only reduce government spend
ing but increase tax receipts for
cities,' counties, states, and the
federal government. . : '
: The administration Is devel
oping plans,' for example, to
make;fhestates provide more
money for drought, relief and
such programs, thereby reducing
federal efforts. This is a typical
Eisenhower objective. It is right
on - the target of the political
philosophy generally , described
as state's rights. But it may not
be : wholly, popular ; with the
spate's righters. They will have
to put some of their money on
the line now occupied by their
apeeches.- - v
V- More of the same is coming
In. the field of welfare, health
and education.: The federal gov
ernment now pays each state
$20 of the first-$25 of average
monthly old age assistance bene
fits and half of the next $30
paid to any old person. . Mr.
Eisenhower would ; limit I the
federal contribution to 50 : per
cent against nearly 70 per cent
as of now. , ; j --. -...
Stresses Prlvafe Industries
The President said that in the
fields of housing, transportation
and business, the national in
terest was best served by pri
vately owned and operated in
dustry. He conceded that there
must be some assistance, but
that federal aid should be kept
at the lowest possible figure.
In another move, Mr. Eisen
hower has ordered military mail
to be carried wherever possible
by commercial airlines. He said
this eliminated some federal
competition with private indust
ry and helped reduce subsidies
to the private carriers. ?
; He predicted that the Housing
Act of 1954 eventually will en
able the private housing indust
ry to satisfy the housing, needs
of families in all income groups.
One of the most controversial
of his policy is to keep the fed
eral government out of the elec
rical power business except on
projects too big for the biggest
states or groups of private, capi
talists to undertake.

Surcharge on Freight
; San Francisco (U.R) Matson
Navigation company announced
today that it will file with the
Federal Maritime Board for a
surcharge of 6 per cent on all
freight tariffs between- Hawaii
and mainland ports.. ... . . .
Matson President Randolph
.Sevier warned in Honolulu last
week that "operating costs have
skyrocketed and some raise in
cargo rates in unavoidable." -;
"This is Matson's first tariff
increase since March, 1953,"
Sevier said. "And since then,
' costs, especially ; labor, have
climbed steadily. It provides
only partial recovery."
The surcharges will lx
filed
with a March X effective date.
Pig Smartest of
Hoofed Animals,
Specialists Think
Ithaca, N. Y. (U.R) That ham
you slice up for dinner may
have been a smarter porker than
you think. .
In fact, two Cornell Univer
sity animal , specialists ' believe
the pig probably is the smartest
of- hoofed- animals and would be
the cleanest, too, if given a
chance. .-.". ---' '
Drs. H. H. Dukes and A. U.
Moore put pigs ahead of mules,
horses, goats and sheep in that
order in estimated intelligence.
Cows : probaby rank - behind
horses, but evidence on that
point isn't too clear, they add.
Dukes and Moore say that pigs
don't have a chance to show
off their ' talents . because they
go to the market so young. For
one thing, they have their "fin
gertips in their nose," and these
very sensitive feeling devices
help keep them in contact with
their environment
" Pigs, the professors say, have
turned out to be the fastest of
the hoofed group in responding
to signals for food.
Cows Vary
The expression "stubborn as a
mule" is partly why the mule
ranks above the horse in intelli
gence, they add. The horse will
work itself to death, but the
mule will more than take care
of itself.
" Moore said he never heard of
a horse doing anything that re
quired thought except in " an
swer to hand signals.
As for cows and beef cattle,
and their questionable rating,
LMoore and Dukes said Guernsey
cows, in one set of tests, learned
how to open different feed boxes
faster than Brown Swiss. Brown
Swiss, in turn, learned faster
than Holsteins.
Goats rate ; over sheep, they
said, because they ' are ''more
aggressive" and appear more in
contact with their environment.
Goats respond to a greater varie
ty of stimuli and . while they run
if disturbed, they won't go far
before stopping to look back.
Hoofed :animals,---the profes
sors added, are smarter- than
poultry; but they aren't as smart
as dogs and cats.

The lush, gold-encrusted books
include the works of such 20th
century literary giants as Ernest
Hemmingway, James Joyce, D.

Contempt Trial Opens
In Portland Court
Portland U.R) Donald Wol
lam, one of four Portland men
charged with contempt of Con
gress, was scheduled to go on
trial in U.S. District court today.
Wollam and John R. MacKen
zie, Herbert Simpson and Tho
mas G. Moore, are charged with
contempt in .failing -to answer
questions posed at a House un
American Activities subcommit
tee hearing here last June.
Trials of Simpson, MacKenzie
and Moore were scheduled to
follow.
The ; men, in refusing - to an
swer questions, stood on consti
tutional grounds of possible self
incrimination. Indictments
against them, however, termed
the questions "innocuous" and
charged, there was no danger of
self-incrimination involved.
Old Hitching Post
Used in New Building
Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) -An
obelisk-shaped hitching post,
dating to ... the 1890 horse and
buggy days, recently was press
ed into service in a modern con
struction job in downtown Sac
ramento. V' . --- ---
The use. of the --foot-high
post, with a ring on the top, oc
casioned some notice and may
save the relic from oblivion.
The-hitching post was perfect
ly situated in the center of con
struction, activities at the site of
a new $7,000,000 building for
the California department of
employment, at a stationary ele
vation of 21.7 feet. It was used
as a bench mark for elevation
control during erection of the
six-floor, ' two-block-long struc
ture. -. -,.
.When the story of the hitching
post appeared in a local news
paper, the division of architec
ture was besieged with calls
from persons who: wanted it as
a, memento of the -19th century.
However, the former owners of
the property asked the division
to hold the post,1 in order that
they may have it placed in an
appropriate museum.

University
Black Sun with her late husband,
poet Harry Crosby lent the
books to Brown's John Hay Li
brary. Mostly Limited Editions . .
The wealthy Crosby's pub
lished mostly limited editions
ranging from 44 to 500 copies.
The books now all collectors'
items originally were sold at
slightly more than cost. For ex
ample, an exquisite edition ; of
"Alice in Wonderland," with
original lithographs by a French
artist, Marie Laurencin, sold for
only $5.
"We wanted to present fine
written . works of art the way
they should be presented," said
Mrs. Crosby, who helped arrange
the collection. "There never was
any thought about percentages--"
of getting in the red or the green
or wherever you want to get."
The rich books are made from
some of the finest papers : and
printed from hand-set type with
some of the. finest inks. Besides
contemporary writers, the Black
Sun concentrated on publishing
deluxe editions of classics. .
However, the publishing house
made one foray into cheap, edi
tions and it was a publishing
milestone. After her husband's
death, Mrs. Crosby brought out
books that were forerunners of
the American paper-back books
so popular today. ; The Crosby
Continentals, including ' books
by.; Hemingway, Wiliam Faulk
ner, and Dorothy Parkers, sold
for about 35 cents in Paris.
"Later in the 1930's I tried to
interest American publishers in
the idea," the attractive white
haired publisher said. "Everyone
said they'd never sell."
Took Great Care
"Now .everything is paper
backs. Writers think they must
get into paper-backs to be im
portant. And the sad thing today
is that a year after a book is pub
lished with, a splash it just drops
out"
She smiled sadly at the rows
of her beautiful books and said:
"When : we published these
books each one was: something
very important. We had a lot of
fun and we. took great care.". ;
Not far from where she stood
was a volume of Harry Crosby's
journal opened ' at , a page on
which he wrote thusly of New
Year's Eve, 1928: M
"Wandering off to bed after
gin and champagne,- silver and
gold, and a pipe of opium, and
so the New Year has begun."

Model Space Port
Built by Young
Oklahoma Hobbyist
Guthrie, Okla. (U.R) Many
boys and their dads were thrilled
by new electric trains last Christ
mas but the most elaborate rail
road outfit probably would-not
impress-16-year-old Noel Noble.
Noel, son of Police Cap!
Charles Noble, has his own space
port, an amazing miniature con
ception of what i some day may
become a method of living in
outer space.
Young Noble . carefully as
sembled the finely detailed lay
out . in his basement in eight
months . of painstaking spare
time work. He used such items
as miniature salt cartons, .22
caliber shells and carbon dioxide
cartridges in desiging "gravity
generators," a : "mercury vapor
power plant" and "interstellar
ventilation units." .
M The 30x60-inch model is no
haphazard attempt at a new toy.
The ; young hobbyist based ' his
miniature plant on research of
space travel and related data
gleaned from books from scien
tific authorities on the subject.
Noble admits he also reads a
good deal of science fiction. ; : ;
All parts of the space port are
worked out in minutest detail.
Miniature washrooms contain
tiny bars of soap in midget lava
tories, and there is even soap
suds in the bathtub, . -
There ' are . miniature tele
phones : on the walls, one-half-
inch coat hangers, darts on a
dartboard and playing cards on
the table in the game room.
f Noble apparently does not be
lieve space living will affect
longstanding habits of - human
beings. Tiny., labels on products
in the kitchen cabinet . blare
forth the supersonic praises of
food and household goods. And
Noble has even provided pin-ups
in the bunk room.
; Noble showed his belief that
space-dwellers will not . forget
God by building a small chapel
complete with crucifix, candles
and news. : ".."
He also diagrammed floor
plans for many of the rooms,
drew . up a complete roster- of
200 men and women to occupy
the space port and worked out
oxygen and water requirements
by day, week and month.
As .to his opinion when such
complexities will be everyday
living considerations, the youth
said, "I think maybe in 50 years
we can do it." .
