H.tU.R) When President Eisenhower goes fish ing, shouldn't he get a license just like any other angler: Or, after all, since he's the President, couldn't the rules be relaxed, just a trifle: Hot, angry words are still be ing exchanged over this weighty question in New Hampshire, two years after Mr. Eisenhower tried his luck against the wily trout here. The feud is between Gov. Lane Dwinell and Fish and Game Di rector Ralph G. Carpenter. Carpenter, Dwinell said at a budget hearing Wednesday, said that in order to issue Mr. Ei senhower a license, "We'll have to have his height, weight and color of eyes and hair, along with a personal signature." Dwinell said this was non sense. And he overruled Car penter, he said. But that wasn't all. Dwinell said Carpenter wanted to charge 516 a day for use of state con servation officers attached to Mr. Eisenhower's party. And he had to be overruled again. Carpenter replied the license million: Idaho 5265 million and S254 million; Nevada 518 mil lion and $15 million; Utah $74 million and 570 million: Wash ington 349 million and $333 million.

Far West Steel Consumption Sets All-Time Record Oakland, Calif. ;u.R) Kaiser Steel Corporation reported Wednesday that steel consump tion in the Far West in 1956 reached an estimated all-time high of 6.5 million tons, 200,000 tons above last year's record. In a report to consumers, the steel company said year-end in dications point to a peacetime high in Far West steel consump tion this year, despite the 35 day national steel strike and the national decline in steel con sumption. The report covered steel used in California, Oregon. Washington, Arizona, Utah, Ne vada and Idaho. Half From West Despite record production of the western mills in 1955, they were able to supply only about half of the demands of the West ern states' market, the report, said. Southern California, the larg est western market for most steel products, received 42 per cent of all Western steel re ceipts in 1955. Northern Cali fornia took 31 per cent, down 4 per cent from 1954. The Moun tain States upped their share of western receipts from 11 per cent to 71 per cent, while Ore gon and Washington retained their previous 16 per cent. Because of increased uses of steel by western manufacturers, Kaiser predicted the 1957 sup ply would probably be short Kaiser said its $113 million ex pansion program at its Fontana, Calif., mill which will increase production by 40 per cent, will not be felt until 1958. Research Important Part of Seal Program The importance of research fi- : nanced by the Christmas Seal program can not be ovcrstressed : Dr. Alvin Roberts, president of the Jackson county Medical So ciety, said recently. i Dr. Roberts noted that about one-third of the people in the United States are carrying tuber j culosis germs. j Medical and surgical tech j mques in treating the disease j have greatly improved in the ' past 20 years and the scope of the prevention work is being i broadened and intensified by the local public health organi- i zation, he said. It is to research that public health officials look to control the disease, he added ; -ine aim oi tuberculosis re ! search is to produce a vaccine ; comparable in effectiveness and safety to the smallpox vaccine or the diphtheria toxoid and ' suitable for administration to in j dividuals regardless to their re I action to tuberculin. Dr. Roberts said. Eisenhowers Plan Family Christmas Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower and Mrs. Eis enhowers have decided to cele brate Christmas in the White House again this year in prob ably an old-fashioned family style. Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty gave out no details in announcing that the first family will spend Christmas in the executive mansion. But is It more than likley, the Eis enhower children and grandchil dren will be on hand as they were last year. The White House already is decorated- with poinsettias, mis tletoes, greenery and Christmas trees including a giant silver trimmed tree flanked by a manger scene in the east ballroom.
