EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. November 25, 1955 Lay Observers Report Ike Look Rflid-Week V aggari After Big fork Day i Interest Builds Up To Question Of Second Term By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) For what it may be worth, some of the chance and unofficial lookers-on at Gettysburg think President Eisenhower appeared a bit peak ed or bushed, after his big mid - week work day. The medical bulletins report the President to be picking up the burdens of of fice without evidence of fa Lyle C. Wilson tigue. There is no intent to challenge the integ rity of those bulletins. Never was the illness of a top level U.S. of ficial more faithfully reported in its gains and reverses than Mr. Eisenhower's. But the fact remains that some individuals who would have no interest in it. either way believe they can detect an outward ap pearance of slow down in Mr. Ei senhower's vigorous recovery. So, it is reasonable to report these lay observations because the people at home and abroad have shown a hungry personal and political interest in Mr. Ei sonhower's well being. The politi cal interest builds up to a ques tion which will be asked with in creasing frequency throughout the world until the President gives the answer to it. Will he run again? Decision Affects Policies The political fortunes of both major parties are tied to the an swer. The political fortunes of numerous office seekers in both parties are tied to it. U. S. for eign and domestic policies de pend in large degree on the an swer as do the policies of foreign allies and cold war enemies. It Is a large question which Mr. Eisenhower's physicians have given him-an opportunity to ignore until February, if he so desires. The implication of their judgments of the Presi dent's recovery has been -that it will not be until late winter that they will know whether his heart could take a second term. The physicians with their ma chines and knowledge can de termine with much accuracy whether Mr. Eisenhower will be fit to go again. But only he can determine whether he would be willing. If his heart were able, but his mind were not quite made up, it is likely that the recent Demo cratic attacks on administration foreign policy might persuade Mr. Eisenhower to take the chance on his health and run. There is no doubt that Demo crats would prefer some other almost any other Republican as a presidential opponent in 1956. Democrats Blast Policy But last week-end's Demo cratic doings in Chicago and some of the follow-up thereof could get under Mr. Eisen hower's skin. Adlai E. Steven son and others gathered for the Democratic meeting fired a broadside at Eisenhower admin istration foreign policy. Gov. Averell Harriman of in his non-active pursuit of the New York moved on to Seattle Democratic presidential nomina tion. He told his audience that Mr. Eisenhower's foreign policy was "a classic in the history of bungling." Hard words from an old friend. Organized labor is beginning to join an attack on the way Mr. Eisenhower has conducted for eign affairs. The CIO News, for example, says administration Mid-Eastern policy is bankrupt. And there is complaint from Stevenson that Mr. Eisenhower has permitted national secur ity to lag in the midst of for eign peril. Only Time Can Determine These charges and those to come as the campaign winds rise, may or may not be justified. Only time can determine that. But, for sure, Mr. Eisenhower will not agree. The fields of for eign policy and national secur ity were the only ones in which he felt self-confident when he took office. Criticism of those policies is. peculiarly a personal criticism of the President's own judgment. Could be that enough of it would entice him into another campaign. Noise Abatement Award Received by Portland New York i'J.PJ The Nation al Noise Abatement Council yes terday awarded Portland, Ore., an honorable mention for what the council said was the city's noise abatement program. Three cities, Memphis, Phila delphia, and Jacksonville, Fla., won the 1955 achievement awards given by the council. Three other cities besides Port land winning the honorable men tion award were New York, Dearborn, Mich., and Rochester, Minn. Beaver Marsh Permit Said 'Tragic Mistake' Portland (U.R) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) today call ed the Federal Power Commis sion licensing of the Beaver Marsh project a "tragic mistake" and said he was asking about possible ways for the decision to be set aside. Neuberger said he had asked the legislative counsel of the U. S. Senate to study possible legislative methods by which "this unwise decision can be set aside." "It is unbelievable to me that the Eugene Water Board would imperil the magnificient McKen- zie river wilderness to secure only 30,000 kilowatts of peaking power, when the same board has opposed a high Hells Canvon federal dam with its 914,000 firm kilowatts of power," he said. Truman To Speak at Fund Raising Dinners Las Angeles (U.R) Former President Harry S. Truman was scheduled to leave here by air liner for Seattle today to speak at a fund raising dinner tonight for the Truman Memorial Li brary at Independence, Mo. The former President, who ar rived here last night, will return here from Seattle Sunday for a $100 a plate fund raising dinner to be held Monday for the same purpose. Upon his arrival here, Tru man spoke of how active he in tends to be in next year's presi dential campaign. "I will get out and do my level best for the Democratic candidate, whoever he may be, if the National Committee asks me to."

ICC Head Resigns Following Probe By Senate Group Gettysburg, Pa., (U.R) President Eisenhower today ac cepted the resignation of chair man Hugh W. Cross of the In terstate Commerce Commission, who was questioned recently by the Senate Investigating Sub committee. Cross told the President he was quitting for reasons of health and also out of "regard and re spect" for the commission and for the administration. Would Defend Charge "But for these considerations I would remain and defend to the end against the baseless charges which have been made against me before a congression al committee," Cross told the President in a letter dated Nov. 23 and received here today. Cross' resignation had been rumored since he was questioned in a closed session earlier this month by the Senate Investiga ting Subcommittee about his connections with the award of a contract to transport passengers and baggage between Chicago railroad stations. Cross told newsmen after tes tifying that he had discussed a job earlier with the group which got the contract, headed by John L. Keeshin, but he denied that the talk was connected with this contract. He refused to say whether he had discussed the contract with railroad officials. The President accepted Cross' resignation effective at the close of business today. The president made no direct reference to the charges against Cross. He said, however, "I fully appreciate the reasons you have indicated and accordingly accept your resignation." Cross, a Republican and for mer Illinois lieutenant governor, was appointed by former Presi dent Truman to fill an ICC va cancy in 1949. this evening. The Willamette was well below flood stage.

The official Copper Depart ment meanwhile was studying a proposal from the Anaconda Co. to invest an additional 338,000, 000 in equipment and other im provements in their Ghuquica mata and Poterillos mines.
