Bill Chances
Colled Slim
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The Rogue
River public works bill, intro
duced at the end of the last
session of Congress in August,
will probably be the most
important single piece of leg
islation affecting the Medford
area in the upcoming session
which opened today.
Chances of the bill becom
ing law during this session
are slight. But hearings on the
issues involved are expected
to be held in order to bring
the proposed development
closer to the point of legisla
tive action.
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-
Ore.), sponsor of the bill, said
he will press the government
departments for reports of
their views on developing the
Rogue river for maximum
flood control, irrigation and
hydroelectricity.
Would Share Project
His bill would have the Bu
reau of Reclamation and the
Army Engineers share in the
project, each building those
facilities appropriate to their
particular concern the bu
reau with its concern for irri
gation, the engineers with
their concern for flood con
trol. Sen. Wayne Morse has told
Congressman Porter that he
will sponsor a similar bill in
the Senate. But Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger has indicated he
will keep a hands off attitude
until he has a better chance
to study the issues involved.
The Rogue river project has
been made controversial by
the' criticism of sports fishing
Interests who contend that
dams, especially a high dam
at Lewis creek, will be detri
mental to the migratory fish
runs and damage the recrea
tion potential of the Rogue
river basin. Neuberger is gen
erally solicitous of the views
of those seeking to protect
migratory fish and wildlife.
Another bill which will
have wide local interest is
the proposal , of Sen Neuberg
er to prevent mining patent
ees from getting title to timb
er located on land they have
staked ostensibly for mineral
production. This issue was
raised in the Al Sarena case,
where the Alabama company
that was granted patents in
Rogue River national forest
has since been selling the val
uable timber on the land but
not producing any minerals
Neuberger's big problem
would probably be getting any
action on such a bill, for the
chairman of the Senate In
terior Committee Murray
of Montana is usually out
to promote the interests of
the mining industry. The in
dustry has in the past oppos
ed the idea inherent in Neu
berger's proposal, and similar
bills have always died in com
mittee.
Another controversy will
continue to boil over what
to do about the Klamath In
dian reservation and its $100,
000,000 pine forests. Neuberg
er wants the government to

about the first week in Febru

Hillary, Fuchs Feuding Over Future Course of
British Expedition Across Antarctic Continent
London (IP) Officials in
England and New Zealand
took sides in an apparent
feud between Britain's Dr.
Vivian Fuchs and New Zea
land's Sir Edmund Hillary
over the future course of the
British Antarctic expedition.
Suggests Quitting
The London tabloid Daily
Sketch summed up the situa
tion in a headline: "One Hell
uva Row Over Fuchs, Hil
lary." The row broke out when
Hillary radioed to Fuchs a
suggestion that Fuchs call off
isasiin
buy it to assure sustained
yield management, but theJ
Interior Department report
edly will recommend that pri
vate companies be allowed to
purchase it. Weyerhaeuser
Timber Co. and International
Paper Co. are both interested
in the prospect of buying that
timber.
Against Porter's Idea
Congressman Porter is
planning to push his idea for
easing the tight money condi
tion for housing mortgages,
as a stimulus to the lumber
industry. His idea is. to have
$1 billion from the railroad
retirement fund "invested"
by the retirement board in
government - insured FHA
mortgages. However, the
Treasury Department has
come out against the idea as
"inflatinnanr " A
. -. - j .
Possibly second only to the
debates over defense matters,
this Congress is expected to
have many a fight over funds
for public works when the an
nual appropriations bills come
up. President Eisenhower is
expected to reduce funds for
many reclamation and power
projects, and rule against
most new projects, to trim
civilian spending. Democrats
are expected to take a "if Rus
sia can ilo it, we can too" line
in defense of continuing fed
eral river development. Out
come of this may determine
the level of funds for such
ongoing projects as the Talent
division.
Control of Space
Vital, Johnson
Tells Democrats
-Washington- IIP) Senate
Democratic leader Lyndon B.
Johnson asserted today that
the nation which controls
space will gain "total control
over the earth."
The United States must win
that control, "for the service
of freedom," he said, or Rus
sia will exploit it "for the
purposes of tyranny."
Call for New Talks
Johnson made the state'
ments at a meeting of Senate
Democrats shortly before the
85th Congress, its attention
focused on the arms race,
opened its second session
He also issued an implied
call for a new peace or dis
armament talks with Russia:
"The conference table is more
important now than it ever
has been, and we should wel
come to its chairs all men of
all nations."
The Texas Democrat
blamed President Eisenhow
er's emphasis on a balanced
budget for the U.S. lag in the
space weapons race with Rus
sia. Must Control Space
Budget considerations have
"again and again reappeared
as the prime limitation upon
our scientific advancement,"
Johnson said in briefing fel
low Democrats on his Senate
Prepardness Subcommitee's
missile-satellite investigation.
Johnson termed control of
space an "ultimate position"
much more important than
any single weapon. "Our na
tional goal and the goal of all
free men must be to win and
hold
supremacy in outer

after Hillary had made his

Coming Messages
Ike Visions Better
Year Economically
Washington IP) The sec
ond session of the 85th Con
gress plunged headfirst today
into the greatest issue before
its survival of America in the
age of space.
Before the new session con
vened at noon, President Ei
senhower briefed House and
Senate Republican leaders on
the program he will present
to , Congress Thursday for
combating "Communist .im
perialism."
Sounds Warning
At about the same time.
Senate Democratic leader
Lyndon B. Johnson sounded
a warning that the nation
which controls space will ex
ercise "total control over the
earth."
The President began his of
ficial day by attending spec
ial prayer service for the new
session of Congress. Then for
two hours he went over with
his legislative leaders his
forthcoming State of The Un
ion and Budget messages.
The President was quoted
as forecasting that 1958 will
be a better year economically
for America than 1957 was.
Says Challenges Met
Senate Republican leader
William F. Knowland said
after the White House con
ference that the State of The
Union Message will be a state
ment of "the position of the
United States today and how
to meet the threat of Com
munist imperialism."
Knowland gave this impres
sion of the program to be
presented - to Congress:
"I believe that the recom
mendations being made by the
President of the United States
will meet the challenges that
confront us in the world to
day." Await President's Message
The new session scheduled
no major business for its first
day. A number of committee
investigations already were
rolling or projected. Several
bills were introduced. Three
new House members took
their seats.
But Congress was marking
time until Thursday to hear
what the President proposes
in his State of The Union Mes
sage.
Again the nation was con
fronted with government con
trolled on the executive side
by Republicans and on the
congressional side by Dem
ocrats. Knowland said that in this
context "we should put the
interests of the country above
narrow partisan interests."
He hoped the basic issues
would not be subject to carp
ing criticism."
Speaking for Senate Dem
ocrats, Johnson said the new
session of Congress faces
many grave issues besides the
battle for space supremacy.
."However urgent these mil
itary problems may be we
are faced with the unchang
ing problem of building a
strong country, not a strong
military force alone," John
son said.

Macmillan Goes
On Tour Despite
Cabinet Crisis
Treasurer, Two
Aides Quit Posts
London (IP) Prime Minis
ter Harold Macmillan left to
day on a six-week common
wealth tour despite a stagger
ing Cabinet blowup over the
Treasury's demand for cuts in
welfare state socialism. He
turned the other cheek to an
the opposition Labor party,
expected triple onslaught
from the opposition Labor
party, his own Conservatives
and world financial circles
and left a caretaker in charge
of the shaken Cabinet.
Stock Market Effects
The cabinet crisis and the
resignation of Chancellor of
the Exchequer Peter Thorny
croft and two aides had an
immediate effect on the stock
market when it opened this
morning.
The exchange was dumb
founded and trading was para
lyzed while dealers waited to
see how the pound sterling
stands up to the disclosure the
.government had split over
financial policy.
In the first hour ol trading
the foreign exchange market
was unsettled. Sterling lost
ground all arourid, with the
spot on the New York - rate
532 lower at 2.81 332. It had
closed Monday at the highest
rate since 1954. ,
Thorneycroft resigned with
two Treasury ministers be
cause Macmillan would not
sanction a $140 million cut in
the new fiscal year's budget.
The cut would have been at
the expense of Britain's cradle-to-grave
welfare system.
The resignation hit the un
suspecting British public
without warning and British
newspapers termed it a "sen
sational blow" to the Conser
vative government.
Hugh Gaitskell, leader of
the Labor party opposition,
launched an immediate attack
on the Conservatives.
"The Tory government is
visibly crumbling," he said.
The Prime Minister . . .
leaves behind him a confused
Cabinet and a divided party.
Surely the time has come for
a change . . . there is only one
answer Mr. Macmillan's gov
ernment must go."
Macmillan Optimistic
Macmilan nevertheless pre
sented an optimistic front
when he boarded his plane for
a 38-day tour of Asia and the
Far East.
He told newsmen the Cabi
net crisis, apparently the
worst since Suez, "is now re
solved and the government is
going forward quite firmly
upon its path."

Nash said he was convin
ced Hillary, the conqueror of

thing and the best thing for
all parties concerned."
Long Way To Go

Pole Friday and became the
first person to make the over
land trip since 1912. Fuchs,
slowed by treacherous ice
crevasses, still had about 300
miles to go at last report and
then another 1,200 miles to

IKE WILL ASK
SOIL BANK END
Washington (IP) Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson
said today the administration
will ask Congress to abolish
the controversial soil bank
plan of paying farmers for
taking certain crop land out
of production.
Benson told a news confer
ence the President will recom
mend that Congress terminate
the acreage reserve program
at the end of the 1958 crop
year. But he said the adminis
tration will seek approval of
a stepped-up conservation re
serve program.
Under Criticism
The acreage reserve pay
ments already have come un
der strong criticism from Con
gress. The House voted last
year to kill the plan, but the
Senate voted to continue it.
The two houses compromised
by agreeing not to appropri
ate more funds for it after
this crop year.
Critics of the plan assert
that the acreage reserve has
failed in its purpose of reduc
ing crop production substan
tially. Farmers have grown
more on fewer acres by using
improved production ' tech
niques. The conservation rgserve,
which has been more favor
ably received by congress,
differs from the acreage re
serve in these important re
spects:

County Receipts
1 Per Cent Less
In First 6 Months
County government miscel
laneous receipts for the first
half of the present fiscal year
totaled $2,152,305.29, County
Treasurer Karl Janouch has
announced.
The total is 12.26 per cent
less than was collected in the
tirst six months last year,
when $2,453,100.76 was col
lected, he said.
Receipts from the state
were 4.63 per cent less; from
the federal government they
were 15.58 per cent less; while
county offices, including dis
trict and justice of peace
courts, contributed 20.8 per
cent more than what was col
lected in the same period last
fiscal year.
Principal Loss
Janouch said the principal
loss in state receipts was in
the motor vehicle fees and li
censes, which were $4,029.12
less than last year. The loss
in receipts from O and C re
ceipts amounted to $329,
865.02. A total of $1,671,279.19 was
paid out for county govern
ment expensees during the
first six months, Janouch
noted. This is $216,413.43, or
14.88 per cent more than was
paid out last year.
The treasurer's office col
lected $6,401,942.06, includ
ing taxes, in the past six
months. This, added to the
balance on hand July 1, 1957,
made a cash acount of $8,

The cash account was cred
ited to schools, 45 per cent;
county, 41.5 per cent; cities
6.6 per cent; irrigation dis
