G o 0 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, January 26, 195S 111 im n arreirs raame Again van to Presidential Spotli ght Washington U.R) Chief Justice Earl Warren, the man who insists he won't run for President, was the center of po litical speculation again today. Mr. Warren's name has con tinually come up as one of the top possible candidates to head the Republican ticket if Presi- Morse Attacks 'Anti-Federalists' O Washington U.R) Sen, Wayne L. Morse accused the Ei senhower administration today of "scuttling" federal programs to "justify its tax giveaway" and to transfer "profitable power sites to private utilities." The Oregon Democrat said the administration has attempted to . "excuse unconscionable acts of favoritism ... in the name of limiting federal activities." He referred specifically to the government's role in the Dixon- Yates and Hells Canyon projects. Morse made the statements in a speech accepting : the Sidney Hillman foundation $1,000 award .for meritorious public service. The foundation's seventh annual award was presepted to Morse as a "living symbol of the wise, honest and courageous servant of the people." Morse said the federal system of government "is being under mined and weakened by anti federalist forces" who try to "serve their selfish economic in terest." dent Eisenhower decides against running. And Mr. Warren has continually insisted he would not run. But many Republicans have believed that the Chief Justice could not resist a draft if the principal drafter were Mr. Ei senhower. Feeling Described Mr. Eisenhower obliquely told newsmen yesterday how he felt about the possibility of Mr. War ren running for President. He recalled that he retired from the Army when he entered politics in 1952. And he added: "We shouldn't get too great a confusion between politics and the Supreme Court." Many said the President's com ment meant he would favor Mr. Warren's candidacy. Many said it meant just the opposite. , Other political developments: 1. Sen Estes Kefauver became the first Democrat formally to enter New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. As his name was filed, the Ten nessee senator pressed his at tacks on the Eisenhower admin istration in a speech - making swing through Wisconsin. He charged the administration with "playing politics with peace." To Keep in Touch 2. Heart specialist Paul Dud ley White planned to spend the first half of February trying to get an electrocardiogram of a whale off the California coast. But he said he will keep in close touch with the White House in case the President wants his next physical examination earl ier than scheduled. The Presi dent's second-term plans are ex pected to hinge on the results of the examination by Dr. White and other physicians about mid February. Health Issue Seen 3. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said a second-term bid by Mr. Eisenhower would make the Presidents health a cam paign issue over-shadowing all others. Neuberger said in a let ter to his constituents "there even exists the danger that pan icky politicians . . . might try to have him propped up unwise ly with drugs." 4. Adlai E. Stevenson called the President's annual economic report "full of generalities." The candidate for the. Democratic presidential nomination said the presidential report was "disap pointing" as a guide for future economic policies. uotes From the Neuberger Raps Cosily Campaigns New York (U.R) Sen. Rich ard CL. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said here last night that multi-million dollar political campaigns were a threat to democracy and that legislative safeguards were urg ently needed to prevent candi dates and parties from "buying ---public offices like baubles in a jewelry store." Neuberger proposed that the conflict of interests statute should apply to members of Con gress as well as to officials of the executive branch of govern ment. In Oregon, Neuberger pointed out, it was illegal for a state liquor inspector to. accept gifts of a few bottles of whiskey but that a man running for govern or could accept thousands of dol lars in campaign contributions . from men who own distilleries. Neuberger indicated he would soon introduce "far reaching" legislations dealing with the campaign contribution question "in time for 1956." Grange By UNITED PRESS Washington President Eisenhower on his health and whether he will accept the Republican presidential nomination: "The problem is what will be the effect on the presidency, not on me." Washington President Eisenhower in a bantering reply io whether he will wait until after his mid-February medical exam ination before making his candidacy announcement: "I don't think there is anything safe to assume about any of my impulses." ' London New British Transport Minister Harold Watkinson in refusing a lawmaker's request to report whether men or women are better drivers: f "I think at this early stage in my ministry I should try to avoid controversy." Montgomery, Ala. Gov. James E. Folsom on the Alabama legislature's "nullification" resolution of the Supreme Court de segregation ruling: "For the legislature o declare Supreme Court rulings null and void is like a dog braying at the moon and claiming it's treed." London Broadway showgirl Shirl Conway, who towers more than six feet, on meeting Princess Margaret: "I didn't realize she was so small or so stunning. Her eyes and skin are incredibly lovely." London Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, the archbishop of Canterbury, disputing the Encyclopedia Britannica's claim that King Henry VIII divorced two of his wives: 'He had the marriages annulled, which is a quite different thing from divorce. Annulment says there was no marriage at all and therefore you are free to marry."

New Lumber Grading Rules Go Into Effect March 15 Portland Not since Swan Al verdson wote the world's first lumber grading rule at Stock holm, Sweden, in 1754 has a new grading rule caused as much comment as the west coast rule 15, which will become effective March 15. The region's 250,000 lumber workers and the nation's 3,000, 000 carpenters and uses will have four new name grades to learn construction, standard, utility and economy, which re place old grades, 1, 2, .and 4. Most other changes are minor. Three Years' Preparation Three years in preparation by a committee of industry leaders, the rule will cover douglas fir, west coast hemlock, western red cedar and Sitka spruce lumber produced in western Oregon, Washington and British- Colum bia and northern California. It changes dules in effect for 50 years. Half the nation's softwood lumber consumption will "be af fected. The new rules will conform to modern merchandising meth ods, will eliminate misunder stood verbiage of past rules, and will be better understood by buyers. Basically all lumber is graded for its suitability for the use intended. There are two major divisions of grading; for appear ance (clears, uppers and pattern grades) and for strength (con struction lumber, joists, timbers, dimension). New Construction Grades Users will be concerned pri marily with new construction grades and with clear and fin ished items for more particular work. , Fir and hemlock have definite stress values established by years of use and many tests, and as a result, fir and hemlock di mension grades are assigned spe cific strength factors. The fibre stress value of pres ent 1450 grades has been changed to 1500f, and HOOf, has been "incheased to 1200f. The thickness of boards and finish items has been reduced from 252 to inch, because half the items' sold today are in the -inch thickness. The rule pro vides that 6 inch material be comes 5V2 inches instead of 0. This already applies to wider sizes, 7VS,:9VS and 11 inch nominal width and is in accord ance with the American lumber standards. Select merchantable remains as the top grade in boards and select structural is the top di mension grade. The lettering system for flooring, casing and other clear items: is unchanged, excepting that the top grade of flat grain clears becomes C&Btr, insted of B&Blr. -j ' Copies of the rule will be available to retailers, contrac tors, architects and lumber users in advance of March 15, accord ing to West Coast Lumber In spection bureau, sponsor of the rules.
