Newspaper Page Texto o TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Bridges Says II tie May Designate Group m Potential Presidential Candidates Washington (U.P.) Sen. Styles Bridges said today that President Eisenhower may designate a group 06 Republicans as poten tial presidential candidates if he decides not to seek reelection himself. The New Hampshire Republi can made no prediction on whether the President will seek a second term. But he said he thinks Mr. Eisenhower will make his own intentions known before state presidential primaries are conducted early next year. Bridges was asked whether he thinks the President would per sonally put the mantle of party leadership on a successor if he decides not to run again next year. Bridges said he believes Ike Won Battle Over European Security, Geneva Record Shows Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower fought and won at last summer's summit meeting a battle against Russian efforts to set up a European security pact ahead of German reunifi cation. A new State Department tec- ord of trie lour-power session . showed that Mr. Eisenhower told Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin bluntly that the chief source of Europe's insecurity was the division of Germany. Thus, he said, the problem of European Maximum Wage for Social Security Deduction Higher Maximum wage from which the social security deduction is made has increased to $4,200 for 1955 and succeeding years,- ac cording to W. V. Nusbaum, man ager of the Medford social secu rity office. The 1954 amend ments to the Social Security act provided for this increase effec tive in 1955. Nusbaum.. stated that the in crease in wage credits thus es tablished would mean higher maximum benefits in the future for retired workers and their dependents or for the survivor of these workers in case of cteath. The $3,600 maximum al lowed before 1955 permitted maximum monthly benefits of $98.50 to a retired worker, while the new $4,200 maximum can mean $108.50 to insured em ployed, or self-employed persons retiring after mid-1956. Should Check Deduction All employees who earn wages of more than $3600 in a calen dar year should make certain that the new maximum is being reported for them by their em ployers. The? can do this, Nus baum continued, by checking their pay slips or by checking with their employers. "The social security adminis trations also advises all workers to check, on their wage records each five years. Post card forms are available at all social secu rity offices for this purpose, Nusbaum added. flail Wore on BUY TtyE NEW Quick G E AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC Water Heater Wash a Load of Clothes , EVERY HOUR All Day Long ONLY $5.00 A MONTH NOTHING DOWN HOME APPLIANCE 115 EAST MAIN Authorized Dealer GENERAL ELECTRIC Wattr Heaters MAIL TRIBUNE Mr. Eisenhower would be "more likely to pick a group." Selection Important By naming a group of possi ble candidates with good quali fications President Eisenhower would thus leave the actual se lection of the party's candidate to the national convention. His choices would, of course, have an important advantage at that time. One senator' said Thursday that he "assumes" Mr. Eisen hower will not seek the presi dency again. Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) the unofficial dean of the Senate, said he thinks the . presidential race is "wide open" in both parties. There were these other de security and German reunifica tion are "inseparable." The Eisenhower-B ulganin squabble was revealed clearly in an 88-page record of the July meeting of U. S., British, French and Russian heads of state at Geneva. The record, which was not complete because some of the other powers refused to agree to full publication, was made public just a week before the Big Four foreign ministers meet ing in Geneva. Controversies Expected ' Publication of even the partial record was expected . to touch off new international . contro versies. None of the other three nations involved was anxious to have the record published. The State Department record showed that the Eisenhower-Bul- g a n i n " controversy developed July 20, the third day of the meeting, when Russia proposed a general European treaty on collective security. Mr. Eisenhower countered by saying Russia- seemed to believe The organization of some new and overall pact, deferring for the moment the thought -of re unifying Germany, would con tribute to security." "We believe," he said, "that the division of Germany itself contributes to the insecurity of Europe and that seems to us to be the principal point of differ ence between what he (Bulganin) has just said to the conference and what we believe." The President won riis point. The final declaration of the con ference placed European security and German unification together as the first item of business to be discussed at the coming for eign ministers meeting. The State Department record also showed that Mr. Eisenhower took special pains to assure the Soviet Union that the United States will never start a war or even participate in an aggres sive war. Librarians Attend Session at Salem Miss Cora Mason, of the Ash land Public library, and Miss Helen Webster, of the Medford Public library, are attending a meeting in Salem this week end of the Oregon Library associa tion's library development com mittee. The meeting has been called by the chairman, Miss Eleanor Brown of the Deschutes County library, to plan the year's program of activities.

Y.) again stated that he is supporting Adlai E. Stevenson for the Democratic nomination. Lehman's statement made it clear that he is not bolting the Stevenson ranks to join the forces behind his state's Demo cratic governor, Averell Harri man, as a favorite son candidate. Endorsed No One 2. George told a news confer ence he thinks Stevenson could get the nomination, if he made a serious bid for it, at a conven tion held tomorrow. But George endorsed no one and said no one can tell what the situation will be by spring. 3. The unannounced candidacy $380,000 Provided For Development Of Shasta Region Yreka, Calif. The sum of 5380,000 has been allocated for Mount Shasta development through the 1957-58 budget of the federal forest highways fund, according to information received by Paul Statham, Shas ta Trinity National forest super visor. Announcement of the alloca tion was made at a meeting of the Northern California Inter County Chamber of Commerce in Mt. Shasta. The Mount Shasta project has the largest development poten tial of any other place in the western United States, Sen. Ran dolph Collier stated. Hurdle Surmounted The major hurdle in devel opment of Mount Shasta as a re creational area has been sur mounted, , Jerry Carpenter, director of travel and recreation of the California State Chamber of Commerce, told members at the session. The obstacle he re ferred to is the appropriation of construction funds by the Bu reau of Public roads for the alignment and surfacing of John Everett Memorial highway to Panther meadows. Consideration is being given to a $500,000 chair lift, a larger one than originally was pro posed. The Siskiyou county board of supervisors appropri ated $60,000 toward the road construction and for accepting responsibility of snow removal and all-year maintenance of the road. The necessity for publicising the Mount Shasta ski bowl and recreation area was stressed by Carpenter. Local 4-H'ers Place In Livestock Show . Dale Smith, Central Point, and Linda Mallory, Eagle Point, placed seventh and eighth in the senior division of the 4-H Beef Showmanship contest at the Pa cific International Livestock ex position in Portjand, Oct. 18. . Miss Mallory also placed tenth in the fat Angus steer competi tion. Her entry was in the 851 1000 pound weight division. D o r e e n Bohnert, Central Point, is trying for a second trip to the National 4-H Club Con gress in Chicago, Nov. 27, ac cording to information received from Oregon State college. Miss Bohnert, an achievement v. ' 'ier at the state level, has osen awarded a miniature statue of a 4-H girl. Joan Dobrot, Central Point, has been awarded a watch for an individual demonstration. ing for surveying the needs of special events has been sched the state, for enlisting the inter- uled, according to Dr. Stevenson, est and support of civic-minded I and the event in itself will con organizations, and for financing stitute a milestone in the history a legislative campaign. of higher education in Oregon. SI of Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) got a boost from J. Howard Mc- Grath (D-R. I.) former senator and attorney general, who came out for Kefauver in Providence, R. I. McGrath declined to say whether he was instrumental in getting a meeting of Rhode Is land young Democrats to table a resolution endorsing Steven son. 4. Oklahoma Gov. Raymond Gary said in Whitesboro, Tex., Thursday night that he believed Texas and Oklahoma "maverick Democrats" were "fully repent ant" and would return to ' the fold in the 1956 presidential elections. Gary spoke at a "Sam Rayburn Appreciation Rally" in Whitesboro Thursday night. Episcopal Bishop May Move to City Episcopal Bishop Benjamin Dagwell has indicated he may move from Portland to Medford, it was reported today. The bishop has declared he would like to be in Medford dur ing construction of the proposed Rogue Valley Memorial hospi tal. He is slated to be here Oct 28 for a meeting with the hospi tal committee and the architect in connection with start of a $1,750,000 fund raising cam paign for the hospital. In the event Bishop Dagwell moves to Medford, he would con duct his eclesiastical supervision from this area. Because of his desire to be in Medford during construction of the hospital, it is believed that the bishop may decide to live in the southern half of -the dio cese. This would place the northern half under the super vision of the Very Rev. James W. F. Carman, who this week was elected bishop coadjutor. Bishop Dagwell has suggested that Dean Carmon moved from his Phoenix, Ariz., home to Portland, and it is believed that the dean would be assigned all of Oregon north of Linn, Benton and Lane counties.

' Chamber Delegation Visits Copco Plants Thirty representatives of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce yesterday visited Cal ifornia Oregon Power company's multi-million dollar North Ump qua hydroelectric power projects in eastern Douglas county. Traveling by chartered bus, the group visited eight projects on the North Umpqua and Clear water rivers. Frank Benesh, of Copco, con ducted the tour, which was de signed to acquaint Chamber members with the projects and their economic value to the Rogue valley. Among the projects visited were Lemolo No. 1, Clearwater No. 1, Clearwater No. 2, Toketee, Fish Creek, Slide Creek, and Soda Springs, all of which are producing electricity, and Le molo No. 2, which is scheduled to go into production in about a year. A highlight of the trip was the visit to the Toketee power house, where controls for all units of the North Umpqua projects are located. This arrangement allows 'Miracle' Metal Said' Carried by Enterprise London U.R) The News Chronicle said today that the Flying Enterprise was carrying a supply of pure zirconium, the "miracle" metal used in atomic power plants when the ship went down off Falmouth nearly four years ago. The article said the Enterprise picked up a consignment of the ore "almost all the world sup ply of pure zirconium" in Bra zil. It said the vessel was en route to Germany, "the only country with the chemical en gineering plant to reduce the ore to pure metal" when it sank. workers at the Toketee power house to regulate each of the units, with only a small mainten ance force at each.
