Jordan's left wing government
. quit today.
King Hussein, Jordan's 22-
year-old western - minded mon
arch, demanded and received the
resignation of Premier Suleiman
1 Nabulsi, apparently as direct
result of their differences over
the Eisenhower doctrine for the
Middle East and Nabulsi's lean
ings toward Russia.
The shakeup of the Jordanian
government came at a time of
mounting new tensions in the
Middle East and the reported
failure of the United States to
reach agreement with Egypt on
the future of the Suez canal.
Protest Being Readied
The Arab states were reported
readying a protest to the United
Slates against its "violation" of
Arab territorial waters by send
ipg an American tanker up the
Gulf of Aqaba to the Israeli port
of Eilat.
Contributing also to the at
mosphere of tension and dead
lock were renewed charges and
counter-charges between Israel
and Egypt of aggression or ag
gressive intent.
Army Supports King
Nabulsi's resignation climaxed
a long period of strain between
the youthful monarch and the
Prime Minister. It reached a
head last week when Hussein
dispatched a messenger to Cairo
without consulting Nabulsi.
Senior army officers were re
ported to have warned Nabulsi
then that in any break between
the two, the majority of the
army would support Hussein.
. Has Strong Support
But in today's dispatches from
the Jordanian capital of Amman
there was no guaranty that Hus
sein had won the final battle.
Nabulsi, the man who engineer
ed Jordan's rejection of its trea
ty with Britain, has strong sup
port from the leftist government
of Syria and he long has been re
ported to control the street mobs
that make or break Arab gov
ernments. Nabulsi is a Palestin
ian who favors federation with
Syria, a move which would
mean the disappearance of Jor
dan as a separate state.

Foundation Grants
Will Be Used for
Added Facilities
Grants from the Ford Foun

be used for additional facilities
and services, hospital adminis
trators sa'.d today.
Sacred Heart hospital was giv
en a $34,200 grant, the last pay
ment whizh was $17,100 was re
ceived last month, and Rogue
Valley hospital received a $13,-
150 payment to bring its total
grant to $26,300.
Sister Reine, Sacred Heart
hospital administrator, said the
grant was used to install an auto

system, which cost $24,580. The
remainder of the grant, she said,
will be used to purchase modern
surgery ano nursery equipment.
New Hospital
Otto Frohnmayer, of the
Rogue Valley hospital board,
said the grant for Rogue Valley
Memorial hospital will be used
for additional facilities and ser
vices in the $2,000,000 new hos
pital now under construction at
Barnett and Murphy rds. The
money has not as yet been ear
marked for a specific purpose,
he said.
The grants, which were paid
over a two-year period, were to
non-profit, non-governmental in

fort by the foundation to help
strengthen basic American insti
tutions and to encourage wider
public support of them, accord
ing to Foundation officials.
Henry f Heald, president of
the Foundation; said rising ex
penses in hospital construction
and operation have contributed
to a climb of 132 per cent in the
cost of hospital care between
1946 and last year Many hospit
als are operating with deficits
only through curtailment of es
sential services, and the grants
have been designed to help es
tablish, maintain, or expand
services which authorities deem

Langley Free on
Bail After Two
More Indictments
Jury Picked To Hear
Misdemeanor Charge
Portland (U.R) District At
torney William Langley was free
on bail today after his arrest late
Tuesday on two more indict
ments returned by the Multno
mah county grand jury on the
same day his first trial opened.
The latest indictments accuse
Langley of perjury and of mali
cious procurement of a search
warrant. He posted $2,500 prop
erty bond.
' Earlier, a jury was selected to
hear a misdemeanor charge that
Langley had failed to enforce
gambling laws. The trial con
tinued today in Circuit Court.
The Tuesday indictments
charge that Langley maliciously
procured search warrants for a
raid on the home of Raymond
Clark where wire recordings
now at issue in a federal case
against Clark and racketeer
James B. Elkins were seized.
Clark is an employee of Elkins.
Grand Jury in Recess
Langley is accused of falsely
swearing he had information and
belief that the premises con
tained obscene photographs. The
indictment charges false swear
ing in connection with Langley
claims that the source of his in
formation about the photo
graphs was Ellsworth Herder,
then police chief at St. Helens,
Ore.
The grand jury asserted that
the search warrant was in fact
obtained by Langley "to vex,
annoy and injure said Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond Clark and other
persons to this grand jury yet
unknown . . ."
The grand jury was in recess
until Thursday.
Langley also testified at a
Federal Court hearing in which
Elkins and Clark seek to sup
press tape recordings used as the
basis of a federal wiretap in
dictment against them.
Mayor Also Called
Langley testified that when
he signed an affidavit last May
as a basis for a search of Clark's
home he acted on information
which he said came from a tele
phone conversation he over
heard. Langley said he listened
from an extension telephone in
his office to a conversiation be
tween Herder and Brad Wil
liams, Oregon Journal reporter,
and became convinced a search
would turn up obscene pictures
in Clark's home.
Herder, called to testify, said
he had never told Langley that
Clark had obscene photos in his
possession.
Mayor Terry Schrunk also
was called as a witness in the
Elkins wiretap case. The mayor,
then Multnomah county sheriff,
denied he contacted FBI agents
before the raid. He said he inter
viewed them the Monday of the
week following.
Democratic Senators
To Question Mcleod
Washington (U.R) Some
Democratic senators Wednesday
planned intensive questioning
of Scott McLeod, President Eis
enhower's nominee for ambassa
do to Ireland, whis his nominat
tion is considered by the Senate
Foreign Relations Comittee.
They indicated they particu
larly, want to question McLeod,
administrator of the State De
partment Bureau of Security
and Consular Affairs, on his of
fice's role in events leading up
to the furor over Canadian dip
lomat E. Herber Norman, who
committed suicide in Cairo last
week.
Eisenhower sent McLeod's
nomination to the Senate Tues
day. Although there was no im
mediately announced opposition
several senators said they were
reserving judgement until after
McLeod's appearance before the
committee.

Tax Reduction Fever
Spreads in Congress
Washington (U.R) Tax-cut
fever spread in Congress
Wednesday but ...
But big question remained
whether the Senate would sus
tain budgets cuts voted by the
House and whether it would go
along with any tax reduction
bill the House might come up
with.
Agencies and departments
which have felt the House's
economy knife already were
gearing to get the Senate, if they
can, to restore at least part of
the amounts trimmed from their
budgets.
Secretary of Commerce Sin
clair Weeks agreed before a Sen

tee to accept two-thirds of the
$212 million cut out of his de

much outside work.
2,060 Unemployed
Unemployment in the county
as of March 31 was estimated at
2,060, representing a substantial
improver ent over the 2,675 re
ported in February. Patton said
the figure still is 20 per cent
above the same time one year
ago, but is not the highest March
total experienced hi the past.
Three times in the past 10 years,
March unemployment has been
higher." : ""' ' . '
" 'New claims for unemployment
insurance dropped 31 per cent
from February totals, but were
slightly above the same period
last year, he said.
Agricultural work was slow
throughout March, with heavy
rain preventing most of the
work which otherwise might
have been done, Patton noted.
There will be some hiring in
agriculture during the next 60
days, he added.
In the lumber industry, prices
were somewhat better with more
orders arriving, and there was a
noticeable back-to-work move
ment in the industry, according
to Patton. Plywood remained
comparatively low with some
mills working less than full
.jiie, he noted.
In retail trade, business has
not picked . up as much as ex
pected since Christmas, and as a
result most sales people laid off
after Christmas have not been
reemployed, he said. Home
building remained at a low level
with no indication of any large
pickup in the .immediate future,
he said.
Migration Into Area
Migration into the area has
been heavy from both north, and
south, Patton noted. Some of
the people are traveling with no
particular destination in mind,
but others are moving into this
area with the intention of set
tling. There were few job op
portunities for most of them, and
many of them are unskilled.
Some have good skills and ex
perience, but with little new
hiring, they are moving on, he
said.
Job opportunities should
steadily increase during the next
60 days if spring weather favors
outside activity, ''atton said.
The state employment service
has given aptitude tests to those
Jackson county high school sen
iors who are not going to college
and the students will be looking
for permanent employment
when school is out, Patton said.

Walter Reufher
Reelected Head
Of Auto Workers
Nomination Greeted
By Big Demonstration
Atlantic City N. J. (U.R)
Walter P. Ruther, fiery leader
of the United Auto Workers,
was re-elected president of the
union today by acclamation at
the UAW's 16th constitutional
convention,
Reuther, 49, a labor organizer
since his early teens, was the
unanimous choice of the 2,700
delegates who staged a demon
stration before his election by
a standing vote. Carl Stellato,
Dearborn, Mich., was nominated
to oppose Reuther, but Stellato
withdrew his name.
Long before Reuther's nomi
nation by Harry Southwell, De
troit, charman of the Constitu
tional Committee, hundreds of
banners were raised above the
tables of the delegates. Follow
ing the pattern of national poli
tical conventions, the delegates
edged into the aisles and launch
ed a parade when Reuther's
name was placed in nomination.
Reuther has been on the un
ion's International Executive
Board since 1936 and became
a vice president in 1942. He was
elected president for a one-year
term in 1946 and began a suc
cession of two-year terms in
1947.
He became CIO president in
1952 following the death of Phil
ip Murray and now is vice presi
dent, of the merged AFL-CIO.
Four day work week demands
with higher take-home pay were
endorsed Tuesday. The union
adopted a resolution to hold a
special convention next January
to formulate demands for its
new contract.
Duex Hike Passed
The convention also approved
a 50-cents a month dues increase
after long debate. It was the first
dues boost since 1951, and it
brought the international dues
to $3 monthly, although some lo
cals pay higher-rates among
themselves.
In a speech to the convention
George Meany, president of the
AFL-CIO, lowered the boom on
union racketeers and corruption
and declared that the unions
would attack head-on the prob
lem of policing themsleves.
Congress Ponders
Postal Bill Speed
Washington U.R) Congress
today was uncertain just how

Summerfield has ordered dras

an end to Saturday deliveries
unless Congress gives his de
partment an emergency $47 mil
lion appropriation.
He reiterated Tuesday the cuts
will go into effect Saturday "if
the money is not forthcoming"
by then.
The House Appropriations
committee plans to meet Friday
to reconsider the emergency ap
priation request.
But even if it approves most
or all of it, which is generally
considered likely, the House
would not be able to act on it
for three days except by unani

Against Criticism
Can't Revert To Practices
Of 1890, Eisenhower Says
Washington (U.R) Presi-'
dent Eisenhower today strongly
defended the programs of his
administration against criticism
by conservatives in Congress, Re
publicans and Democrats alike.
Eisenhower told his news con
ference that this government
cannot revert to the theories and
practices of 1390. A Republican,
Benjamin Harrison, was presi
dent in 1890.
The President said he did not
believe that the difficulties en
countered by some basic admini
stration recommendations in the
Congress reflected a diminution
in his own political power due
USIA Expenditure
Of $100,000 for .
Anti-Red Film Told
Washington (U.R) A House
Appropriations sub committee
disclosed today the United
States Information Agency sec
retly spent $100,000 subsidizing
a commercial anti-Communist
movie generally for American
consumption.
A top official of the propagan
da agency told the subcommittee
the movie turned out to be a
box office flop when shown in
1953. He said that unfortunately
was the history of such films.
Won't fame Film
Closed-door testimony made
public by the subcommittee to
day showed that the agency flat
ly refuses to disclose the name
of the film or where it is being
shown now. But the testimony
indicated that a foreign lan
guage version now is being pro
duced without help this time
of the taxpayers.
The subsidization of the movie
was disclosed in subcommittee
questioning regarding USIA's
request' for $140 million to fi
nance its international prop
ganda and news operations in
the next fiscal year.
Wants New Transmitter
That would be a $27-million
increase over its current budget.
The agency also wants an extra
$4 million to build a powerful
new radio transmitter.
During the closed-door testi
mony former film producer Eu
gene W. Castle said Congress
should take the USIA out of the
news business and leave the
field to the regular private news
agencies.
- USIA wants to spend $11,474,
000 on its press service in the
fiscal 1958 a $1,594,000 in
crease. Castle also said the na
tion would be better served if
the agency . were abolished al
together and its necessary func
tions handled by the State De
partment. . .
Bill Would Penalize
Slow Auto Drivers
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
Senate today passed Senate bill
53 providing for the apprehen
sion of motorists who drive
along the highway at an unreas
onably slow speed.
The bill provides penalties for
unreasonably : slow drivers as
well as unreasonably fast driv
ers. '
Senator Jean Lewis, Portland
Democrat, said the driver who
pokes along a main highway at
a speed of 20 to 25 miles an
hour, usually hugging the mid
dle of the road, causes long
lines of motorists to get impa
tient. And eventually they are
goaded into "playing leap frog
down the road" in an attempt
to get past the slow driver. That,
she said, creates at least as haz
ardous a condition as does ex
cessive speed.
Panama Canal Ship
Discrimination Denied
Washington U.R The
United States today denied
Russian charges that it is dis
criminating against Soviet ships
using the Panama Canal.
Russia Tuesday night formal
ly protested to the State De
partment that American author
ities had Unduly delayed Soviet
ships using the Panama Canal.
The protest said the vessels were
boarded by police detachments
and were followed by a police
cutter as they traveled from the
Pacific to the Atlantic.
State Department Press Offic
er Lincoln White said today that
three Soviet vessels which have
used the canal in recent months
were subjected to no different
security and technical regula
tions than those of any other
nation. 1
to the automatic prohibition
against his seeking another
term.
He stated his beliefs at some
length after a reporter told him
his recommendations were run
ning into stormy congressional
weather among Republicans as
well as Democrats.
Must Live in Present
A reporter specifically men
tioned the statement by Sen.
Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), that
the administration's big budget
for fiscal 1958 represented a be
trayal of the people's trust.
Eisenhower mentioned no one
by name. But he said it was
plainly evident that the United
States no longer could limit itself
to the political and governmen
tal practices of 1890. He said the
government must be conducted
in the light of national economic
and world conditions of the pres
ent. He said there is bound to be a
clash of ideas and opinions in a
society such as ours and that
some people obviously become
more heated than they should.
But he said he believes profound
ly in the things his administra
tion has proposed; that he thinks
other basic government pro
grams of many years' standing
will not be turned back.
Other news conference high
lights:
He called for understanding
of recent British defense reduc
tions. He satd the United King
dom since World War II had en
countered difficulty keeping her
economic nose above water and
that the wcrld should understand
that the security position of a
nation is not always determined
wholly by the number of her
troops but equally by the state
of her economy.
He said U.S.-Egyptian nego
tiations on the Suez Canal are
continuing and that he hopes for
a satisfactory conclusion. Be
cause of this hope, he said the
United States is not prepared at
this time to recommend feferral
of the Suez to the Security Council.-
. - -- -
He continued his week to
week defense of his big 1958
budget. He said it is a terrific
amount to extract from the econ
omy and, while some savings
might be possible, they can be
achieved only by restudy and
re-evaluation of the major, more
costly programs of the govern
ment.
He thought it was illogical
to attempt to curb Japanese ex
ports to this country while at
the same time attempting to tell
the Japanese they cannot trade
with Red China. He said there
is no prospect of this country
ending its embargo on trade with
Communist China. But, he said,
it is difficult to see how the Jap
anese can make a living if we
try to impose heavy duties and
quota' restrictions on her pro
ducts and not leave her with
other territories in which she
can do business.
The President denied that
members of his staff have kept
away from him examples of pub
lic criticism lest it . make him
angry and hurt his health. He
did display a bright red sore on
the end of his nose, but he
laughingly explained that this
resulted from overexposure to a
sun lamp.
Believes in Criticism
The President said he does
not believe that honest, fair crit
icism hurts anyone. As a matter
of record, he said, he has not
been criticized while in the
White House nearly as hard as
he was on some occasions dur
ing World War II when he was
the Allied commander in Eur
ope. The chief executive said philo
sophically that criticism of pub
lic figures is a good thing. But,
with a chuckle, he added that
this does not mean for a moment
that he is admitting all of the
things said about him.
Discussing congressional treat'
mcnt of some of his pet pro
grams, he said all Americans
have a right to their own opin
ions, but the government of a
modern era frequently has to
take new approaches and
break with customs of the past,
all of which leads to a natural
clash of ideas.
He said emphatically that he
thinks this country should take
a much stronger and longer
look than 2u the past at the par
ticipation of the federal govern
ment in essentially local activ
ities, whether it be drought re
lief or disaster assistance.
