Would Be Foolish
Washington 'UR President Eisenhower said today it would
be foolish tor the United States to stop H-bomb testing without
netting a foolproof agreement with Russia and the rest of the
world to do the same.
Mr. Eisenhower set forth his position in a news conference
statement replying to Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E.
Stevenson's proposal to ban H-bomb tests.
The President also said he has found it necessary to intensify
his campaigning to clear away what he called the underbrush of
opposition misstatements. '
Concerning H-bomb tests the President declared that the
American purpose in conducting such experiments is to develop
clean bombs which will not create a widespread radioactive
hazard.
He said that if this country stopped testing on its own. there
would be nothing to prevent Russia from going ahead with labora
tory development work and achieving tremendous advantages
while the United States stood still.
Any such unilateral action by
this country would, he said, be
foolish.
Other highlights of the Presi
dent's news conference:
1. He said on the eve of the
U.N. Security council debate on
the Suez canal that he still is
convinced a peaceful settlement
of the crisis is possible.
2. He specifically replied to
chargps made by Stevenson in
New York Thursday night that
this administration has been
making "Johnny come - lately
claims'' in an attempt to "seize
partisan credit" for tcderal civil
rights accomplishments. The
President said that in World
War II he became the first com
bat commander who ever used
Negro troops on the battlefield
mixed in with white troops. He
agreed that general desegrega
tion in the armed forces ran into
opposition in some military
quarters and thafhe" believed
after the war that general de
segregation might cause some
trouble.
Two-Term Limit
But when the Republicans
came into power in 1933, he
said, he decided it was time to
eliminate segregation where the
federal government had author
ity to do so. And that, he said,
is what we did.
3. The President, in reply to
questions, said he believes the
two-term presidential limitation
was unwise. He said he believes
the Constitution had all the qual
ifications lor President that
were needed before the two
term amendment was added. Mr.
Eisenhower said he doubts that
a second term President would
lose power, because any man
who hopes to succed him would
want the President's blessing.
4. Mr. Eisenhower said his re
election campaign isn't being
conducted quite the way he orig
inally hoped. That, he said, is
because he has found it neces
sary to clear away what he call
ed the underbrush of opposition
misstatements and get the facts
before the people.
5. He said that Vice President
Richard M. Nixon reported that
his recent 32-state campaign trip
was most encouraging. The Prcs
ident said Nixon told him he en
countered the largest and . most
enthusiastic crowds of his politi
cal career, and found the Ameri
can people quite happy. He said
Nixon did not ask him to step
up his campaigning. The vice
president told him to just go on
doing what he has been doing,
the President said.
Minimum Wag Problem
6. Asked whether- he thought
the SI minimum wage should be
raised again, Mr. Eisenhower
said he first wanted it extended
to cover people who haven't got
it now. He said whenever the
minimum is raised, it becomes
harder for the man who !.s not
covered to get coverage, because
the difference between his wage
and the minimum is getting
greater all the time.
7. He said it has always been
his administration's policy to in
crease the tactical .strength of
the armed forces He said there
has never been any announce
ment of any plans to reduce the
strength of the U. S. Army. But
he said new weapons may make
it possible for the Army to carry
out i'." mission with fewer men.
Ho s.,id that since the Korean
v;ir Armv strength has. in fact.
'-cm reduced by about 700.000
:nen.
6. Mr. Eisenhower said he ha.'
no firm plans for political ap
pearances bevond those already
r nnounted. But he made it clear
there will be some more cam
paign trips by him. He said he
would like to make about one
short trip a week because he
OREGON

likc to go out and see people.
Mr. Eisenhower carries his
second term campaign to Pitts
burgh next week and immediate
ly follows this up with a swing
into Minnesota, Oregon and
Washington.
Little Tex Cut Hope
9. Mr. Eisenhower asserted
that what he is trying to do in
this campaign is to stick to the
truth. He said some people have
said he does not receive the truth
from the men around him. But
the President said he h?,: had a
lot of experience in running or
ganizations and he thinks he
knows pretty well what's going
on.
10. He said he wouldn't class
ify the chances of an immediate
tax cut p.s bright. For logical tax
reduction, he said, it is neces
sary to get .rid of a lot of use
less things and then see wherej
you stand oh tax cul He said hV
would not say cuts were com

Greece Buys County's
Talent Alfalfa Seed
Talent alfalfa growers could
sell 10 times as much seed as
they are now producing to the
country of Greece, W. B. (Ben)
Tucker, county agriculture
agent, said today.
He added that Greece1 is pur
chasing the entire crop from
southern Oregon growers this
season. "The country seems quije
interested in the Talent seed.
One hindcrance in selling to
Greece is the dollar exchange
problem, Tucker noted.
He said it is necessary for
growers to be paid in Greek de
nominations rather than Ameri
can money, which has greater
value.
Tucker said that George
Tsimokopoulos, director of agri
cultural exploitations for the
Copias organization, visited in
Jackson county last week. While
here, he told of the favorable re
ception Talent alfalfa seed has
received in his countrv.
Court Hints No Action
To Establish Booth
The county court indicated
this morning no action would be
taken to establish a voter regis
tration booth at the Big Y
market.
Wednesday morning the court
directed Mrs. Bereth Hopkins,
coiinty clerk, to establish a booth
at the market. Mrs. Hopkins, who
had previously closed a registra
tion booth there, declined to
carry out the court's resolution
and order. She based her refusal
on an attorney general's opinion
declaring it was illegal to regis
ter voters at temporary locations.
Mrs. Hopkins said her opinion
was that a booth at the Big Y
would not be in operation be
tween elections and therefore
would be classed as temporary.

five-year and one-year terms in

after pleading guilty in circuit

tributing to the delinquency of

Bar Association ,
Backs McAllister
Tlie Jackson County Bar asso

the election of Oregon Supreme
Court Justice William McAllis

Justice McAllister was ap

He is now a candidate for elec

hai-vest was practically complete
at the end of the month and good
weather throughout the season
assisted in getting the crop
picked on time. Lumber and ply
wood prices continued to drop,
he said, and were a cause for
concern, although there were no
sizeable layoffs during Septem
ber because of the conditions.
Layoffs in lumber and logging
usually are due to inclement
weather and the size of the un
employment applicant group can
be judged by the amount of rain
or snow, he said. With lower
prices may operations will be
inclined to shut down in weather
which would not usually cause
shut downs, Patton said.
He said that the few who were
out of work were mostly women
and older men who could not do
the relatively heavy work in the
orchards and packing houses.
With the completion of fruit
processing work in October, and
the general seasonal let down
usually experienced in the fall,
Patton said unemployment can
be expected to increase consider
ably. New hiring will be slow during
the next 60 days, he said, with
almost no other activity other
than Christmas fruit packing,
which will be starting or mate
rially expanding during the
period. Most hiring will be to re
place regular turnover, he said.
During October, he said, a spe
cial effort will be made to in
crease employment opportuni
ties for physically handicapped
workers. The program is a year
around effort in cooperation
with the Jackson county commit
tee for employment of the handi
capped. Patton pointed out that
experience has demonstrated the
value of using physically handi
capped workers.

ceived here from the national
capital yesterday that construc

base in the French Prairie dis
trict near Woodburn, Ore., had
been delayed' for a year.
Lack of money was assigned
as the reason. Congress author-1

during 1957 and 1958 for con
struction of the joint Air Force
Navy base and later appropriat
ed $2,400,030 for land acquisi
tion and initial construction.
But the Air Force found it ne
cessary to review all construc

stead of the $1,600,000,000 re
quested. Pear Harvest Hears
