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."

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.
