IX MEDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wedneidey. Mar H. 1955 Ike's Retirement Alter 1956 Seen By Sen. Chase Washington - OJ.R) Sen. Margaret Chase Smith said to day she thinks President Eisen hower "prefers to retire after 1956." Consequently, she warned Re publicans against "putting all of our eggs in one basket. We donf want to lean too heavily upon the Eisenhower popularity." In a speech prepared for de livery to 1500 women- attending the annual Republican Women's National Conference, the Maine Republican emphasized that she hopes "with all my heart" that Mr. Eisenhower doesn't retire. Wouldn't Blame Him But she said "I'm not so sure Dwight Eisenhower will seek re election. My present impression is that he prefers to retire after 1956. I certainly would not blame him if he does." . Mrs. Smith ssid the Republi cans should "build up the popu larity of our party." She said no - one has spoken of this need more "eloguently" and "played down the indispensable man theme" than President Eisenhower himself. House Republican Leader Jo seph W. Martin Jr., (R-Mass.) and Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson both reassured the Re publican women on the admin istration's "long range steady plan of dealing with those who seek to disturb the peace." .

(Intehtational) Steelworkers Map Demand on Industry For Increase in Pay Pittsburgh (U.R) The CIO United Steelworkers, eyeing the steel industry's sky-high earn ings and record production, as sembled the union's top policy makers today to draw up de mands for a "very substantial wage increase." The USW wage proposals, ex pected to be announced this afternoon or Thursday, will be handed to the basic steel and ore mining industries later this month in negotiations covering half the union's 1,200,000 mem bers. Has Final Say The union's executive board, headed by President David J. McDonald, met first and the union's 1 70 - man wage policy committee was to debate the en tire Droeram at an afternoon ses sion. The waee-nolicv erouD has final say on all contract matters and must okay all contract pro posals and settlements. . Union officials have served ad vance notice they will submit hefty wage demands on the booming steel industry, which was scheduled to break produc tion records for the second con secutive week with an output of some 2,328,000 tons. The nation's steel mills,, straining to keep up with demands from automobile manufacturers as well as other industries, have posted produc tion schedules at or near the 100 per cent of capacity mark for weeks. Wage Rates Only The USW contract, under which steelworkers draw an average pay of $2.23 an hour, is open this year for negotiation of wage rates only. All other con tract terms negotiated last year remain in effect until June, 1956. This eliminates, for all purposes, negotiations on a guaranteed an nual wage, an issue raised by the USW previously and now featuring auto industry contract talks. While one top USW official, Secretary-Treasurer I. W. Abel, warned local union officers this week to "start conditioning" the men in the mills for a wage bat tle, industry and union observers remained optimistic for a peace ful contract settlement. The USW can strike if no "agreement is reached by midnight June 30. ; Offhand estimates of a possible wage settlement range from eight cents an hour up. No mat ter what the size of the wage in crease, if one is granted a re sultant price boost was consid ered a virtual certainty. Indian Hunting Suit To Be Filed Klamath Falls (U.R) Com plaints for a declaratory judg ment and for an injunction to re strain . interefernce with the rights of the Klamath Indians to hunt and trap on the Klamath reservation will be filed in fed eral court in Portland, -it was announced yesterday by Tribal Attorney J. C. O'Neill. The action is the outgrowth of the passage of public . law 280 which transferred . to the state jurisdiction over offenses com mitted by or against Indians on the reservation. Similar action against the state has been filed by the Umatilla Indians. . Assistant Attorney General Ar thur. G. Higgs, Portland, would represent all the defendants in the case, O'Neill said. Klamath Indians claim they have the right pursuant to feder al treaty to hunt on the reserva tion without restriction or con trol by the state. The state claims the right under public law 280 to enforce state game regulations on the reservation, Mother Maintains Vigil by Phone For Missing Child Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The mother of Stephanie Bryan maintained a heart breaking vig il by her telephone tdday, hop ing against hope it would bring news oz ner missing aaugnier. Mrs. Charles S. Bryan Jr.. still insisted that Stephanie was abducted on April 28 as she was returning home from Willard Junior high school. Trick Suspected "Maybe it was a man who knew that Stephanie regularly walked through the Claremont Hotel parking lot and used a trick to get her into his car, or else he forced her in," Mrs. Bry-. an said. "She never would have gotten in of her own accord oth erwise. I'm sure it was nobody she knew." Meanwhile, Stephanie's fath er, a radiologist; returned to his work, at Peralta hospital. 4 The four other Bryan children, Rit ledge, 10, Cheryl; 12, Estelle, 7, and Beatrice 3, were at school or with relatives. - A widespread search of an area off the Franklin Canyon Road near Pinole failed yester day to turn up a further clue to Stephanie's disappearance. A textbook belonging to the girl was found in a field there last Thursday. Sweater Causes Stir A brief flurry of excitement came early last night when a newspaper circulation driver said he found a blue cardigan sweater near the Claremont ho tel. However, the sweater turned out not to be Stephanie's. Contra Costa County Sheriff Harry A. Brown and Berkeley Police Capt. Laurence Laird said a search of the general area between Orinda and Pinole would be continued today. Cement Worker Internal Revenue Agent Trainees Being Sought ..
