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.

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.

velopments:
1. Sen. Herbert H. Lehman (D
N. 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.

$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.

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.
