SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thundsy, January 3, I9S7 i 'Eisenhower Doctrine' Sprang From Sudden Top-Level Decision By DONALD J. GONZALES ' United Press Corrtipondent Washington U.S. The "Eis enhower Doctrine" sprang from sudden top-level administra tion decision that now is the time to strike a blow for peace in the Middle East. No emergency promoted the new policy, officials said, but combination of international and domestic factors suddenly indicated action was necessary even though the broad out lines of the policy had been dis cussed for months. Final decisions came so quick ly, in fact, that the President did not discuss the military aspect of the new" policy with Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh ru, who was a White House, visi tor just two weeks ago. Officials said the military-economic plan had not '"crystallized" at the time of Nehru's visit. The key to the plan ii a gam ble that it will bring about peace rather than war. The main aim is to warn Russia from moving into the Middle Eastern region 10 that moves can be made by the United States to help sta bilize conditions in the Middle East. - This would be done by warn ing Russia that the United States would counter with armed force any Soviet attack on the Middle East. Coupled with this would be a program of economic assist ance to the Middle East coun- . tries. Mo Emergency Administration officials de- rled that any new emergency ' prompted the President's plan but conceded Mr.- Eisenhower is , disturbed by rising Soviet in fluence in Syria and Egypt. These officials said the Presi dent's decision to act now was ' Inspired by these factors: The British French attack on Egypt meant the end of British-French influence in the Mid- . die East. This created a power ' vacuum which might be filled by the Soviet Union. V, - British and French troop withdrawals from Egypt made it possible for the United States to 4ome out with a program of its own to stabilize the Middle East. ...Israeli withdrawals, which are eagerly awaited here, will fur ther stabilize the area. Russia is off balance in Eastern Europe because of the Hungarian and Polish defec tions. This may give the United States the jump on filling the -power vacuum. ! Action is needed now to encourage anti-Communist ele i ments in Egypt Syria and other A r a b countries. A display of j American interest in the area would offset the pitch Moscow i has been making to leaders of i I Arab nationalism, j The serious economic conse : quences resulting from Egypt's j closure of the Suez Canal em j phasizes the dependence of I Western Europe on the Middle ! East. U.S. action in the Middle I East will contribute to the eco nomic stability of its allies in Western Europe. Administration legislative experts decided that the opening days of the new Congress mark the best time to submit the new plan. The timing dramatizes the importance the President at taches to the Middle Eastern strategy. And it is believed ac tion will come quick if the plan nets in ahead of civil rights, foreign aid and other measures which are sure to stir angry debates. West Coast Business Is Driven Elsewhere; Administrator Says San Francisco U.R) Fed eral Maritime Administrator Clarence G. Morse warns that longshore efficiency on the Pa cific Coast is so low that it is driving business elsewhere. Morse delivered this warning Wednesday on his arrival from Portland on the inaugural voy age of the new Matson liner, Monterey. Aboard the ship were 300 business and civic leaders. The Monterey will sail for the South Seas and Australia next Tuesday, joining her sister ship Mariposa on the run. Coast As Whole In discussing the longshore situation, Morse referred speci fically to San Francisco, but it was apparent that his words in cluded the Pacific Coast as a whole. "Hiah cargo handling costs in San Francisco are doing more than anything else to drive bus- Man Unable to Appear; Car Breaks Down on Way Santa Ana, Calif. U.R) Gayle G.

"The men who work on your piers are kill ing the goose that lays the gold en eggs." He asked newsmen. "What's the strike situation here?" Told that the Pacific Coast had its best year in 1S56 with only a dozen ships tied up for three days, Morse said: "But your longshore produc tion figures are the worst in the country, with the possible excep tion of Los Angeles." Morse said he got his figures on information compiled by the Bonner congressional committee, which held hearings at port cit ies. "It is an open secret that costs are higher on the West Coast than on Gulf or East Coasts," he said. "And they are higher in California than in the Pacific Northwest." Poor Productivity As for the relative absence of strikes in 1956, Morse said it was poor day to day productivity that causes costs to rise. "In part, this is longshoreman responsibility," he said, "but it is also the responsibility of the steamship operators." ' Morse also disclosed that Beth lehem Shipbuilding Corpora tion's San Francisco shipyard will get orders for at least one and possibly three more 32,500 ton tankers in the near future. One is already on order. A Bethlehem spokesman said the tankers will cost about 10 million dollars each. The keel of the first will be laid this sum mer.

BEWARE OF MITATIOHS IOOK FOR THI HAPPY mm COG TOPS IN QUALITY! LOW IN PRICE Cincinnati Calendar Firm Says Pinups On Way Out; Trend Is for Information BY BERNERD H. BUTTLER United Press Correspondent Columbus, Ohio (U.R) Time apparently has run out on the callendar pinup that scantily clad young lady who reached the peak of her popularity dur ing World War II. Reports from far-flung barber shops, gasoline service stations, and garages long the showcases of the curvaceous miss who fre quently appeared in the altogeth er indicate the pinup era soon will be part of yesteryear, ac cording to Kemper-Thomas Co., Cincinnati", a major calendar making firm. The pinup with the tantaliz ing curves and inviting smile in an array of poses has been shoved oft most 1957 calendars by cute kids, scenic landscapes and pictures promoting traffic safety. The calendar trend today is toward more and more factual information ranging from rec ipes, an old standby, to floral arrangements, what days to fish and when to grease and oil your car, say J. A. McCollum, ex ecutive vice president. . Bowlers will find the new cal endars loaded with facts of the game and guides to what to do when faced by those pesky splits. For The Teens Teenagers come in for their share of attention in the 1957 editions Back pages are loaded with advice on what a young girl should wear on her first date, what clothes to wear at parties, and other social information.. Other calendar themes gain ing popularity in the new year are those showing religious scenes, American historical shrines and bird paintings. A new innovation is one print ed on cloth that can be used in emergencies as a kitchen towel. Most pinups still dotting gar age walls are relics of the days when the calendar market was flooded with assorted beauties of all sizes and shapes. '- Kemper - Thomas, says their 1957 calendars are the first in .a quarter century that do not in clude a nude. And the firm which turned out an estimated 12 million calendars for the new year says there are no plans to include pinups of the 1958 and 1959 editions. The Cincinnati firm speaks with authority based on more than 70 years in the calendar- making business. The firm en tered the field in the early 1890's. McCollum says there still are a few pinup calendars being produced around the nation. But he adds they are in the minority. He says the increasing trend toward religious themes is il lustrated by one of the best sel lers in the 1957 line. He sayi more orders were received for calendars picturing a little blond girl on her way to Sunday school than any other girl pic ture in the company's line in cluding pinups.
