Washington (U.R) Sen.

Langer is chairman of a Sen

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

the behind-the-scenes maneuver:
that led to Corsi's ouster last
week.

By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Chief
Justice Earl Warren's absolute
refusal to become a presidential
candidate put increased Repub
lican pressure on President Eis
enhower Saturdav to seek a
second term.
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

Manager Tells of VA
Domiciliary Programs
The Camp White Veterans Ad
ministration Domiciliary spends
$1,500,000 annually, E. K. Rick

Ricker pointed out of each
tax dollar alloted to Camp White
95 cent is spent locally. The
other 5 cents goes for adminis
trative salaries, and much of
that, too, stays in the valley, he
said.
He traced the history of the

If Mr. Eisenhower should re

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.

Information Agency
Rapped by Howard
After World Tour
New York U.R) The Un
ited States Information agency
is putting America's "worst foot
forward by trying to duplicate
the job being done infinitely
better by the independent U.S.
news agencies," Roy W. 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

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."

legislature, and one which is
being considered for introduc
tion. One is Senate Bill 266, which
would prohibit cities from levy
ing an income tax, and reserv
ing that source of revenue for
the state. It was designed spe
cifically to nullify a Portland
tax on et or gross revenues of
business establishments.
The bill is to be debated again
Monday morning, and will be
brought up for consideration at
a 7:30 a.m. meeting of the legis
lative committee of the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce,
which is expected to take action
and to notify local representa
tives by wire or telephone of the
committee's views.
'Mayor Earl Miller and City
Manager Robert Duff appeared
at a hearing on the bill last week
voicing their opposition to it
on the basis that it is an invasion
by the state of the rights of
municipalities.. 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.
The other is a proposal which
would require banks to remain
closed on Saturdays. It has not
yet been introduced, but is being
considered by the house rules
committee, of which Rep. W. W.
Chadwick, Salem, (who operates
several hotels including the
Jackson in Medford and Senator
in Salem), is chairman.
