Newspaper Page TextTWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 20. 1956 th Year as Secretary of State in Center of Controversy Dulles Starts Foreign Policy Attacks Claimed Bothering Official Washington (U.R) John Zoster Dulles observed his third nniversary as secretary of state today in the center of a growing political controversy over the Eisenhower administration's foreign policy. Dulles, who will be 63 next month, knows enough of the political facts of life not to be caught unaware by his position on the hot seat. But the intensity of current attacks on him is bothering the secretary a bit. - Some Democrats, including Adlai E. Stevenson, have called on President Eisenhower to dis miss or discipline Dulles for his recent statements, in a Life magazine interview, that the ad ministration dared to walk three times to "the brink of war" in Asia to deter Communist aggres sion. Mr. Eisenhower, far from re pudiating Dulles, defended him vigorously at his news confer ence yesterday and called him "the best secretary of state I have ever known." Unfortunate Expressions The President said he hadn't read the Life article and didn't know whether it contained any "unfortunate expressions." But he said he has "complete faith in Mr. Dulles"and knows he is "devoted to peace." But Sens. Mike Mansfield CD Mont.), William E. Jenner (R Ind.) and John Sparkman CD Ala) called today for a congres sional review of foreign policy. Most of Dulles' troubles can be traced to his particular knack for authoring, directly or indir ectly, phrases such as "massive retaliation," "agonizing reap praisal," "brink of , war," "un leashing Chiang Kai-shek," etc. These Dulles-initiated slogans have made Democrats and Amer ican allies see red. The surprising thing is that hardly any of Dulles' troubles stem from off-the-cuff remarks. Most have come in speeches or other carefully prepared state ments. This unusual twist has prompted one administration of ficial to quip,- "When Foster makes a mistake, it's carefully prepared." Many Supporters Dulles, on the other hand, has many supporters. They are warm in their praise of his "cal culated risk" strategy. They sub scribe to Dulles' theory that po tential aggressors must know in advance that the United States will fight, if necessary, to pro tect its vital interests and moral principles. , The secretary himself isn't planning any frontal counter-assaults on his attackers. Several weeks ago he appealed for bi partisan support during the 1956 campaign and asked that "poli ticking" on foreign policy be avoided. He simultaneously granted the now famous "brink of war" in terview to Life as a way to get back at his attackers. This week he disavowed any intention to take to the political stump. He will leave that job to his sup porters. , , "fir - " 4 i I f WHITE HOUSE AIDE This is the "Blow Your Top" doll that Presidential Secy. James Hagerty used to answer reporter's request for com ment on Adlai Stevenson's statement that President Eisenhower should repudiate John Foster Dulles' "brink-of-war" statement. Hagerty squeezed the doll and its head, on a paper shaft, shot into the air.

Offi ces are located in the Manchell building in Grants Pass and in the new post office building. in Eugene. Ellsworth told the committee application blanks for loans may be secured from those of fices. He said: "I shall continue to do everything I can to further promote the development of flood protection in the fourth district and trust that you or any others will feel free at all times to write me concerning any problems." Mrs. Bash said the first edi tion of the Oregon Republican Yearbook will be on sale at the Lincoln Day banquet. Storms Damage Ore. Caves Parking Aree Storms during December, 1955, caused an estimated $22, 000 damage at Oregon Caves Na tional Monument in Josephine county, it was announced today.

(U.R) Authorities today probed the ruins of a farmhouse two miles east of here for a cause of the fire that took the lives of two small children yesterday.

Ike Looks Healthy, Summerfield Declares Portland ;U.R) Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield terms President Eisenhower "the healthiest-looking convalescent 1 ever saw.", Summerfield arrived here last night to attend tonight's SlOO-a-plate dinner which will be addressed by the President via closed circuit television. Summerfield parried questions on his choice of a nominee if Mr. Eisenhower does not seek re-election. "I hope he runs," he said. Merchant Patrol Is Discussed at Ashland Ashland The Ashland city council was divided Tuesday night on a request for an ordi nance licensing private .merc hant patrols for the city. The question was re-referred to the police committee for study and recommendation. - Request for the ordinance was made by Ray Koch, representing the Forest Green Detective agency of Medford, who said that although it was not neces sary an ordinance be enacted, he preferred to come into the city under such provision. Council members argued the need for a merchant patrol. Councilman Harry Morris said that "if the merchants feel it is necessary we can get another police patrolman." Mayor Richard Neill said he did not believe the majority of business men want a merchant patrol. Councilman Ken Jones said, however, that he believed an ordinance would be a good thing because it would "give the city some . control." Koch told the council he plan ned to begin contacting bus inessmen this week informing them that a merchant patrol will be available. Central Point Forms Boat Rescue Unit Central Point Kneut Wern- mark, Central Point, was elect ed head of a boat rescue unit which was organized last night in Central Point at a meeting of county civil defense officials and others interested.

This idea crops up periodical ly, but usually dies in fancy un der the stern stare of Congress. Current discussions have a two-fold long range aim get ting "business" as such away from the White House proper, and getting such scattered branches of the executive offi ces as the Bureau of Budget and the Council of Economic Ad visers under one roof or in a cen tral building. This would give the presi dential family greater privacy, according to the people discuss ing the plan now. The plan, inci dentally, has not reached the White House staff level. One highly unlikely idea being batted around is for the presi dential family to have either a separate residence away from the White House or an apart ment in the new consolidated of fice building, transforming the present White House proper into a museum and the site of formal state functions.

It won't work with an economy minded Congress. A responsible official in the White House says suggestions of this type cannot even be regarded seriously at this stage of governmental af fairs. One fallacy is the reasoning of the planners is that the White House should become entirely a museum and a place of state. These fellows must not have been through the place in recent years. Half the house is a mu seum now and tourists by the thousand pour through it daily. The Eisenhowers have their personal quarters on the second and third floors, but the rest of the house proper is pretty much on display five days a week. An official wise in the ways of presidents says that the first chief executive to work up enough courage to establish a residence outside the. - White House will be a president with several young children. The White House as presently constituted would be a difficult place in which to raise a family, what with the tourists rambling around the place in the morning hours and the public constantly peering through the fence at any thing or person moving within the south grounds. On the other hand and as a practical matter, Mr. Eisenhower himself has set up a separate residence in Gettysburg. , When the winter weather eases a bit, he'll probably spend most week ends there and Mrs. Eisenhower can be expected to remain in Gettysburg for weeks at a time whether he runs again or not. . As for the White House offices, they are uncomfortably over crowded at present and there is pressing need for more space. Many of the offices have mush roomed into the old State De partment Building across West Executive ave. This means a con siderable amount of time lost as officials and secretaries trot back and forth across the street during working hours. A large central building cer tainly would answer a lot of White House problems. But the big " question is --where? : To, put such' a project into action would require . months of study and planning even before a request for an ' appropriation could be put up to Congress. - Use Tribune Want Ads Quick in results! fy . 5:30 to 9:00 P.
