EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, September 5, 19S6 Ike Says Government Shouldn't Interfere With Integration Washington U.R Pres. dent Eisenhower said today the federal government should not act to put down riots against public school integration unless local authorities show an inabil ity or refusal to grapple with the problem. So far. the President told his news conference, he knows of no case in which a state or local government has defaulted on its primary responsibility lo maintain order. Mr. Eisenhower said, in reply to a question, that he had not been informed of any public de fiance of court integration order by Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas. He said he had asked for a full report on the situation at Mans field, Tex., where mob action has prevented enrollment of Negro students. Appeals Again Mr. Eisenhower again ap pealed to all Americans, and particularly clergymen, educa tors, political leaders, to help j bring about the change in spirit from blocking progress toward full racial equality. Mr. Eisenhower was asked whether he personally endorses the Supreme court decision that school segregation is unconsti tutional. He replied it makes no differ ence whether he endorses the decision, because the Constitu tion is as the Supreme court in terprets it and it is his duty as President to see that the Su preme court rulings are carried out. Mr. Eisenhower's discussion of the school integration prob lem came after a reporter asked whether any national action was planned to cope with several recent incidents of violence in Texas, Tennessee and else where. Mr. Eisenhower replied that in each case local governments have moved promptly to stop the violence. Under the law, he said, the federal government or dinarily cannot move into a state to keep order until the which he said is needed to pre- state shows it cannot handle the vent extremists on both sides ' problem. Permit Sought for Big John Day Dam WaWshington ;'U.R) Pub lic Utility District No. 1 of Klick tat county. Wash., asked the Fed eral Power commission yester day for a preliminary permit to build the John Day power pro ject on the Columbia river. The proposed project would be located in Klickitat county, Wash., and Sherman and Gil liam counties. Ore. It would include a concrete gravity dam and reservoir, pow er house, navigation lock cham ber and related power facilities. The PUD serves substantially all electric customers within Klickitat county. The power gen erated by the John Day pro ject would be used to serve the increased demands of PUD's cus tomers and to meet the require ments of an expected industrial influx into the territory, the FPC said. Surplus energy from the pro ject would be sold to other elec tee utilities in the region. A preliminary permit does not James Hagerty Faces Suggestion Of Signing Fair Practices Code Washington U.R White House News Secretary James C. Hagerty today faced a barbed Democratic suggestion that he sign a fair campaign practices code. Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler's suggestion that Hagerty ' be invited" to sign the code" sponsored by the Fair Cam paign Practices Committee fol lowed a cross-country fight over a statement by Adlai E. Stevenson. authorize any construction. It gives priority for an FPC license while a company is conducting the necessary surveys to file a license application. Advocates of federal power want a federal dam while a group of private power compan ies also has indicated desires to build the project. A high - quality egg, when broken out on a plate, has a high round yolk that is well centered and banked in thick white. Hagerty charged Tuesday that the Democratic presidential nom inee seems to welcome un employment as an opportunity "to win a few votes." He based the charge on a statement attrib uted to Stevenson in a story in the New York Times. Butler said Tuesday night Hagerty "distorted and misrep resented the facts." And at Chi cago, Clayton Fritchey, Steven son's news aide, accused Hagerty of taking "two wholly unrelated comments and telescoping them." Times Admits Error The Times said in a statement its report of Stevenson's remarks was "unfair to Mr. Stevenson." "It W'as due to an unfortunate inversion of his remarks," the Times said. "The Times regrets any misinterpretation that may have resulted. The Times is printing the full Stevenson statement." The Times article, read in part by Hagerty to newsmen at the White House, summarized a 400 word statement that Stevenson issued Friday at Chicago after his week-long meetings with Democartic leaders across the nation. The summary began: " 'All the news is good." he (Stevenscn) said. There was 'seri ous unemployment' in Northern New Mexico, Detroit and South ern Illinois ..." The text of Stevenson's state ment showed that his comments about "good news" and un employment were made separ ately. He mentioned areas where there is heavy unemployment in discussing what he called "our lopsided prosperity." Hagerty Keeps Silent Later, Stevenson said that "as to the purely political aspects of our trip, all the news is good." When this version of Steven son's statement was called to Hagerty 's attention, he declined to make any additional com ment on the subject. Butler said Hagerty "must have known that he was taking Mr. Stevenson's remarks out of context." He accused Hagerty of brazen distortion. "I sincerely hope that today's performance by the President's close personal associate is not a foretaste of the Republcian tac tics in the campaign of 1956," the Democratic chairman said. "If Mr. Hagerty is going to become a political spokesman for the 1958 campaign, as he seems to -have indicated today, he should be suhject to the same ground rules on decency, fair play and veracity which have been accepted by candidates and the chairmen of the two major political parties."

A camp cooking outfit must depend upon where you are go ing, how many of you, and whether by car, back-mule or mule-pack. Just the same, a good camper takes pride in trimming it down to bare essentials, seeing that al though lightweight and compact, it remains adequate. The tender foot usually takes far and away too much gear. It's no trick getting good camping gear: outfits are made today especially suited for the trail sets of nesting aluminum pots and pans and dishes, rang ing from one-man sets to those for a dozen campers. Unless you are planning to back-pack it alone for the rest of your natural life, avoid those little one-man outfits. Besides, a two-man outfit weighs less than two one-man outfits and where there are two in the party, there are two backs to carry the load.

Crews Face Problem Of Portland Sewer Portland U.PJ Workmen faced new problems yesterday in their attempts to repair a col lapsed main sewer line in south east Portland. Seepage of water from the Brooklyn sewer caused under mining of the pavement in the vicinity of the repair job and al lowed sheathing in a shaft oper ation to collapse. The troublesome sewer backed water up into several southeast area homes last month during a heavy rainstorm that struck the city. Basements and streets were flooded due to the col lapsed main trunk line then. Workmen said that a new shaft will have to be construct ed to repair the damaged sewer line. - OPEN i Tonight until 9 for your shopping convenience THE HOUSE i-nrrti i timii r lili A home laundry like none you've ever seen before! t ; u i '.A . !- iJamu u' -J1""!.. ..J..
