' Langer is chairman of a Sen ate Judiciary subcommittee in vestigating administration of tha refugee program and the sudden dismissal of Edward J. Corsi as Immigration adviser in the State department. Corsi has accused McLeod of "sabotaging" the refugee pro gram He said the program is a ' scandalous failure" because of an 'intolerant minorily" in the State department and Congress which wants to keep immigra tion down. McLeod, in an all day appear ance before Langer's subcom mittee Friday defended his ad ministration of the program, which was started in 1953. Hf also gave a running account of the behind-the-scenes maneuver: that led to Corsi's ouster last week.

Warren has been regarded as a possible 1956 GOP presiden tial nominee if Mr. Eisenhover refuted to run again, and he had shown considerable strength in public opinion polls. Steps Out of Picture Buv he declared himself un available Friday in language as firm and unequivocal as that used bv Gen. William T. Sher man, who said after the Civil War that he would not run if nominated or serve if elected. Warren said he had been em barrassed about speculation that he might be a candidate for the presidency. He said it was his "irrevocable" intention to stay on the court and out of politics and that he would not change Lj ,? a Youth Day is observed nationally May 1.

If Mr. Eisenhower should re fuse a second term nomination, Warren would have drawn in creasing attention as a possible ranHirlato arnnnH whnm r.OP "liberals" and Eisenhower back- ers might rally. Ives Backs Ike Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-NY), who wants Mr. Eisenhower re nominated, commented that "a good many Warren followers are Eisenhower followers too." Warren's statement Friday removes him as a possible sec ond choice. Hence, those who might want him can be expected to increase their clamor for Mr. Eisenhower to seek another term in the White House. From the Senate Republican leadtrship, Sen. Eugent D. MU likin of Colorado, chairman of the party caucus, said Warren's statement would not affect the 1956 nominating convention. He noted that he predicted long ago that Mr. Eisenhower would be renominated and reelected. Along with Warren, Vice-Pres ident Richard M. Nixon and Sen ate Republican Leader William F. Knowland have been perhaps the most frequently mentioned GOP nominees for 1956 if Mr. Eisenhower refuses to run.

Howard said Saturday. Howard, chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the Scripps Howard newspapers, has just re turned from an around-the-world tour that lasted six weeks. Accompanied by his wife and secretary, Howard arrived at noon by Pan American Airways from Paris. Good Will Builder Howard told reporters the U. S. Point Four program is "one of the most effective good-will builders." By contrast, however, he said the U.S. Information Service program of the USIA is contributing virtually nothing to U.S. prestige aboard. "I would be the last one to suggest another congressional in vestigation," he said, "but it does seem to me this whole USIA 1 J 1 1 U "S""" tuulu uc Peny " "ie su"Jc,Vl Ui ivu.B.ii j Congress As an example of what he had seen, Howard cited, "one coun try, which I don't want to name, which has a claimed literacy of 12 per cent of the population. We have 150 persons working for USIA there. About 17 of them I am told, are Americans. The man who is running it is an intelligent newspaperman who is trying to do the best job pos sible in the circumstances. Deluged With Words "Every day he is deluged with words from USIA most of it more than 36 hours old which has already been adequately and completely covered by the Un ited States news agencies. What he tries to do, consequently, is concentrate mainly on pictures, newsreels and cartoons." Portland Man Joins Firm in Medford James S.

The League of Oregon Cities also is active in opposition to the measure. The bill was brought up for final passage in the house of rep resentatives Thursday, and was defeated by a 30 to 30 tie vote, but a motion to reconsider the measure passed Friday.
