FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, March 2, 195S 1 4 eriiisof Foiir .Y isenhower Favor House '':Bflle iters Serving Indispensable Theory Rejected At News Parley Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower at his news conference today said he thought j the term for House members should be increased to four years. They now serve for only two years. Senators are elected for six years. . Mr. Eisenhower under ques tioning also rejected the theory that he is indispensible to a Re publican victory in 1D56. The chief executive, in a light and bantering mood, suggested that reporters invoke a morator ium on questions about whether he will run again. He suggested they could take up the question with him in some detail about a year from now. This was the first public in dication from the President that it may be early next spring be fore he is willing to indicate whether or not he will seek re election. . . Supports Pay Raises His advocacy of a four-year term for House members came in the course of his endorsement of pending legislation to raise the salaries of members of Con gress, federal judges, district at torneys and certain Justice de partment personnel. The President said that too many promising young people who should be in government decline to run for Congress be cause of economic reasons. He said the life of a House member is particularly difficult under present pay structures because the member must maintain a res idence in his native state and must run for reelection every two years. He said he thought the two year term was a mistake and would like to see it increased to four years. Indispensable Man The subject of his indispensa bility to the GOP came in the form of a question based on a recent statement by Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), chairman of the GOP Senate Campaign committee, to the effect that the Republicans cannot win in 1956 without Mr. Eisenhower. The President said there was an awful fate in store for civil ization if any man became in dispensable and could not go the way of all flesh. The development of an indis pensable man, he said, would be calamity. The chief executive seemed to move himself into a press con ference trap when he was asked to discuss the selection of San Francisco as the site of the 1956 GOP nominating convention, but he emerged a few questions later without adding much to .the store of public Information. Belter Weather He said first that he favored moving the political conventions around the country and that when the GOP leadership discus sed San Francisco with him he liked the idea because he much prefers the climate of San Fran cisco to that of Chicago. This sounded like a clear in dication that he would be at the "convention. A reporter asked if newsmen could assume that he would go to San Francisco. He answered with an abrupt no.

St. Peters Sermons For Lent Announced 'The Peace of God and the Problems of Men" is the title of the series of sermons for Lent at St. Peters Lutheran church, 1020 East Main, according to the pastor, the Rev. Kenneth Korby. The services are held each week on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. The sermon tonight will deal with fear: the fear that arises from a sense of inadequacy and a sense of being lost. Suitable songs are sung by the congregation.- The public is invited. u RICE CAKES OR FLOWER POT Kay Kyoto, teacher of "ikebana" (art of flower arrangement) arranges chrysanthe mums in a "hyotan" (gourd) at the Japan Trade Center in San Francisco. The hyotan is multi-purposeful in the Japa nese household. It is used as container of such things as charcoal, water, flowers and is even used as magazine rack. Some types of these Japanese gourds are part of "osushi" or rice cakes. Figures Support Southward Move Of Industry Richmond, Va. (U.R) There's a big race on in the South and the stake is "labor." The Fif& Federal Reserve Bank here has furnished some figures that support the trend of a southward movement of in dustry, thirsty for Dixie's rapidly growing labor force and optimis tic about economic conditions. In the Fifth Federal Reserve District, which comprises North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir ginia, Maryland and West Vir ginia, the labor force is expected to expand by an average of 88,000 persons annually through 1975. During the 1940's its growth accounted for 11 per cent of the national increase of 7.3 million persons. Reports from these states in dicate a vast movement of indus try with million dollar invest ments and million dollar pay rolls. One Doubt In Virginia for the 18-month period ended June 30, 1954, in dustrial expansion and modern ization entailed investments of $317,000,000 and added an esti mated 15,0000 new jobs and $50, 000,000 to payrolls. In North Carolina, there were 184 new and expanded industries with total investments of $89, 223,000 for the first nine months of 1954. The industries provide a potential of 13,200 new jobs with an expected annual payroll of $31,731,240. Other southern states report ed a somewhat similar influx of badly needed industry. But in the back of the minds of state officials who are quite familiar with the problems of un employment is this doubt: Can the increase of industry in the South keep pace with the in crease in the labor force? The Fifth Federal Reserve Dis trict's labor force grew faster than that of the nation from 1940 to 1950. Rate Holds Up Population last year continued to increase at approximately the same rate that it grew in each state from 1940 to 1953, The av erage of 10 months' total non- agricultural employment in the states declined from the. average in 1953. . Manufacturing . declined 7.2 per cent in the United States, but only 5, per cent in the five states, attesting to fewer hard goods industries more vulnerable to business fluctuations. On the other hand, financial employ ment increased less, and the other industry groups, such as mining, transportation, con struction and trade, declined more. The increase in population points up the need for growing employment opportunities, par ticularly in basic industries that create new jobs in service in dustries and multiply income within communities.

Comment On By HARMAN United Presi Washington U.R) It's hard to tell how much the atomic tests near Las Vegas are costing. But, for sure, f it s a fat bale.

It seems that the cost con- scious cam- naiman mchols paign of the Army has hit a humorous vein at Camp Desert Rock, Nev., the headquarters for the Army's part in the test. A sign hangs in the mess hall which says: "Don't drive your truck with a flat' , . "A tire costs $53. "A tube costs $5.28. "That's $58.28, almost enough for a night out in Las Vegas." (Las Vegas, to those who never have lost a take-home there, is where gambling is legal). : Gel Up Early Camp Desert Rock, my friend says, is a paradise for buglers.

The Army band at the post say that martial music is playing second tuba in the choice of the 2400 soldiers at the camp. ..' They'll sit still for some of Sousa's and the others who wrote military tunes, but the real favorite "melody" as of now, is "Shake, Rattle and Roll." -My friend is familiar with some of the behind the scene workings of the atomic tests. Buttoned Lips Officials of the Atomic Ener gy commission and Civil De fense require that everything be cleared before the public gets hold of it through the press. The men in the know have to put up with this, and are cau tioned, like in time of war, to wear lips buttoned. My friend, I am sure, was be ing facetious when he told me: "Some of the boys handling the releases are afraid to nod off at night for . fear they will talk in their sleep and tell somebody what time it is." ' , And the joke making the rounds is that even the time of day is classified, my friend says. PEESENTS, Perfect Om-Ujct Cak mouse L TBOfflBEHDSE ELECTRIC COMPANY W.
