Butler's Inference To Mamie's Health Brings : Vigorous Rebuke From
GOP
Byrd Concedes Tax Cutting Plan
Getting Votes But Sees Defeat
Washington (U.R) Sen
Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) conceded
today that a Democratic income
tax-cut compromise has picked
up votes in the Senate but he
still predicted its defeat.
At the same time. Chairman
Styles Bridges (N.H.) of the Re
publican Policy Committee re
ported that a recheck of GOP
senators showed them still
almost solid in support of the ad
ministration.
The Senate started debate yes
terday on the House-approved
tax bill, which contains pro
visions to extend corporate and
excise tax rates which Presi
dent Eisenhower wants and
an income tax cut which he op
poses. A Senate vote is unlikely
before next Tuesday or Wednes
day.
House Plan
The House plan, which was
facing defeat in the Senate,
would cut income taxes for all
taxpayers and dependents by
$20 a year, starting next Jan. 1
The Senate compromise would
set the cuts at 520 for each tax
payer and $10 for each depend
ent, except his wife, and would
limit the tax relief largely to
those with incomes below $5000

One-Cow, Three-Goal
Dairies Legalized
Salem The state department
of agriculture has called atten
tion to the fact that the 1955
legislature has legalized the sale
of uninspected milk from farm
ers who have not more than one
cow or three goats.
The bill has been signed by
the governor and will become
law 60 days after the legislature
adjourns.
Those affected by the law will
be able to sell surplus milk, pro
vided it is not advertised. The
measure will legalize a prevail
ing practice.
The department said consum
ers who purchase milk from
such unlicensed operators should
understand the milk is not in
spected and therefore is not sub
ject to the sanitation controls
which bigger dairies must ob
serve.
Farmers' Pockelbooks
Declared Tightened
Washington U.R) The
saueeze on the farmers' pocket-
book "tightened appreciably" in
the past year, the Agriculture
department said today.
In a farm cost report, the de
partment noted a four per cent
decline in the farm parity ratio
from the last quarter of 1953 to
the last auarter of 1954. It said
"almost all" of the decline was
due to lower prices farmers re
ceived for1 their crops.
The cost of livine and of nro-
duction items the farmers had
to buy, meanwhile, rose about
one per cent during the period,
the department said.

this time. However, he is one of
only a handful of Democrats op
posing the compromise plan.
Change Sides
Before the compromise was
unveiled, it appeared that there
would be about a dozen Demo
cratic votes against the House
proposal. A number of these
senators now are counted as
supporters of the compromise.
"It has a little more strength
than the House bill," Byrd told
a reporter, 'but I still feel con
fident that we are going to win."
An authoritative Democratic
source said present indications
are that only three or four
Democrats will vote against the
compromise.
If one Republican votes for
Hie compromise, three Demo
cratic votes will be needed to
defeat it, assuming all Senators
are voting or paired.

Fong Indictment
Studied by Judge
Portland (U.R) Multnomah
County Circuit Judge James W.
Crawford today had under ad
visement a defense demurrer
which contended that the first
degree murder indictment
against Wey Him and Sherry
Fong was not valid.
The Fongs are charged with
the murder of Diane Hank, 16-
year-old Portland girl whose
body was found on the Ever
green Highway near Washougal,
Wash., last winter.
Defense Attorney Irvin Good
man scored the prosecution for
failing to state the manner in
which the girl was killed, and
charged the indictment was the
result of politics on the part of
District Attorney William Lang-

Langley, Goodman said, had
campaigned for office by publi
cizing the murder case.
Explosion Seen
As More Pressure
On Ike To Run
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The angry
Republican explosion of protest
pnpinct 3 political reference -to
Mrs. Mamie
Eisen how
er's health
just about
added up to
day to some
more pressure
on the Presi
dent to be a
candidate next
year for re
election.
Lyle C. Wilson He doesn't
want to do it. But the heat is on.
Not in years has the capital
seen a political maneuver so
quickly organized and effected
as Thursday's on the subject of
Mrs. Eisenhower's health.
Republicans individually and
in groups mauled Democratic
National Committee Chairman
Paul M. Butler for a news con
ference suggested that her
health was one reason Mr. Eis
enhower would not run again.
Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R
Mass.), former speaker' and now
Republican House leader, opened
the attack which continued
throughout Thursday. It became
a bitter, personal assault on
Butler, whose character and con
duct were shredded in angry
debate.
Vigor Astonishing
"Loathsome; irresponsible;
scoundrel; low animal in human
form," were some of the Re
publican bouquets for Butler as
members addressed the House
and Senate in angry terms.
Astonishing to many in Wash
ington was the scope and vigor
of the Republican rebuke. It
scarcely could have been less
than inspired and organized by
someone, although over a period
of 20 years, members of Frank
lin D. . Roosevelt's family were
the subject of public and private
comment considerably less flat
tering than Butler's comment on
Mrs. Eisenhower's health.
The organized co-ordination
of the Republican uproar was
evidence enough of the party's
recognition of Mr. Eisenhower
as the best Republican bet in
1956 and its determination to
put him up again. And Repub
lican orators may have been
fired to greater heat by suspic
ion that there was some sub
stance in Butler's remarks. The
capital grapevine reported that
the President thought Butler
was playing "kind of low" politics.
Health Basically Good
The only qualified witness
was the White House physician,
Dr. Howard McC. Snyder. He
said that aside from a heart con
dition of which the public long
has been aware, Mrs. Eisen
hower's health is basically good
The heart condition was de
scribed as a "murmur" which
sometimes limits her activities.
She sometimes has suffered
from over-fatigue. She does not

Lebanon Woman Threatened
For Letter on Welfare Funds
Lebanon, Ore. (U.R) Police
said yesterday an attempt has
been made on the life of a Leb
anon woman who had written a
letter saying there were at
least five cases in Linn county
where welfare funds were being
received illegally.
But instead of harming the
woman, Mrs. E. A. Gall, the un
known male assailant beat her
husband. Police said Gall was
badly battered about the head
and body. He was taken to
Lebanon hospital where his con
dition was described as "pretty
good."
Mrs. Gall told police she had
received several anonymous tele
phone calls and one had threat
ened her life after she had print
ed In the Lebanon Express on
Feb. 25 a letter in which she
claimed knowlge of five cases
where welfare funds were being
received illegally.
Mrs. Gall said she received a
call from a woman who appeared
hysterical. The woman told her
that "This is the day and the
hour. Prepare to meet your
maker."
Mrs. Gall and her teen-age
daughter left home and her hus
band stayed in the house. He
said that about 7:30 p. m. a man
came to the door and demanded
the whereabouts of Mrs. Gall.

When Gall refused to tell him,
the man forced his way into the
house, threatening Gall and rip-

Clues Still Scarce
In Silverlon Slaying
Salem U.R) Clues are still
scarce in the three-week-old Er

Marion county Sheriff Denver
Young said today that three of
four rifles picked up for labora
tory tests have been cleared of
any connection with the crime
and have been returned to their

Kaser, a Silverton hop grow

Butler took the abuse in
stride, explaining that he mere
ly had referred to published re
ports as to Mrs. Eisenhower's
health in relation to 1956 poli
tics. He recognized the outcry
as symptomatic of Republican
desire to renominate Mr. Eisen
hower. "If their (the Republican) pur
pose is to persuade Mr. Eisen
how to be a candidate in 1956,
they would be better advised to
spend their time in supporting
Mr. Eisenhower's program in
stead of wasting time berating
me," Butler added. .
Republicans will recognize in
Butler's conduct a Democratic
hope that Mr. Eisenhower will
not again be a candidate.

Queen Mother Shops
For Margaret's Gift
London U.R) The London
Daily Herald said today Queen
Mother Elizabeth was shopping
around in Scotland for a castle
as a possible wedding gift for
Princess Margaret and Group
Capt. Peter Townsend.
"The Queen Mother, who re
cently bought Castle Mey over
looking Pentland Firth, has been
looking over Keiss Castle 12
miles away," Herald Reporter
Alan Dick reported. "What
would one want with two Scot
tish castles?"
"Could one be a wedding pres
ent for her daughter?"
The story recalled speculation
that a marriage of the Princess
and the 40-year-old divorced fly
er would have to take place in
Scotland since the Church of
England does not recognize such
a marriage.
