Does ike Need License .
To Fish in New Hampshire?
Concord, N. 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

S254 million; Nevada 518 mil

episode was a misunderstanding
and "just one of those things."
As for the presidential detail, he"
said members of his commission
felt there should be some pro
vision for payment since con
servation officer salaries come
from license fees.
Said Dwinell: "I'm sick and
tired of the continued lack of
cooperation from your department."
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

Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower and Mrs. Eis
enhowers have decided to cele
brate Christmas in the White

ably an old-fashioned family
style.
Presidential Press Secretary

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
