Political Pincers
Holds Macmillan
In Tight Grip
London GPi Angry Social
ists and rebel right-wing Con
servatives moved today to ex
ploit the Macmillan govern
ment's split over raising Brit
ain's national debt to main
tain the welfare state.
It was a political pincers
move that caught Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan be
tween two extremes. It had
ominous overtones not only
for his personal political fu
ture but for his staunchly prc
American policy including
U.S. military bases in Britain.
The issue was raised when
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Peter Thorneycroft resigned
with the disclosure Britain
could not maintain the pres
ent level of cradle - to - grave
benefits without raising gov
ernment spending.
Repudiated Policy
Macmillan was pledged to
hold the line but he repudi
ated the policy rather than
tamper with welfare benefits
which cost Britain 5,600,000,'
000 last year compared with
$4,200,000,000 for defense.
The Laborites, who origin
ally sponsored such benefits
as free orange juice for preg
nant mothers, free medical
treatment for all plus retire
ment and other benefits;
roared to the welfare state's
defense, cost or no cost.
The right-wing Conserva
tives, usually known as the
"Suez rebels" because of
their past opposition to gov
ernment Middle East policies,
went to Thorneycroft's aid
with equal vehemence. They
promised to continue the
quarrel in Parliament.

News - and Notes
From Camp White
By SID HOLLINGSWORTH i division and after becoming
The post office and the
veterans administration are
engaged in a program to ex
pedite handling checks mailed
to beneficiaries.
Starting Jan. 1, postmasters
will forward all checks if
change of address is given, in
accordance with postal regu
lations.
A notice has been received
announcing a change in the
plan of mailing checks to
beneficiaries from central of
fice of the VA in Washington
"Beginning next month,"
the notice states, "we plan to
mail your check on the 29th
of the month the same date
that all other VA benefit
checks are distributed. You
will receive it several days
later than usual, depending
on how long mail from Wash
ington takes to reach you."
Heretfore, it is explained,
a staggering plan was used,
mailing checks ahead of time
to points at varying distances
away so that all could be re
ceived simultaneously on the
first of the month. "This sys
tem has proved very expen
sive to the government," the
notice states.
Postmaster Art Scarseth,
who handles all types of ben
efit checks coming through
the mails, says there was
some delay in receipt of the
checks coming from Washing
ton, as well as other points,
at this time, which may have
been due to the Christmas
business.
Charles Cox, Camp White
contact officer, said only
Spanish War veterans and a
few receiving compensation
direct from Washington are
affected by the new mailing
plan. All world war veterans,
he says, received their checks
from the regional, offices, in
cluding pension checks.
George W. Hargrove, who
has been assistant engineer
officer here during the past
year, has left for the VA hos
pital, Fargo, N.D., where he
will be in charge of the en
gineering division. Hargrove
came here from the VA hos
pital at Downey, 111., near
Chicago.

Rock club at a meeting last
month. Frank Nelson was
named secretary-treasurer.
Both are rock hounds, and
the group plans an active year
gathering and finishing mate
rial available and brought in
after rock trips sponsored by
the VA.
Stan Sears, in charge "of
crafts and hobbies, was ap
pointed director of the North
west Federation of Mineralo-
gical societies, with which the
club is affiliated. A meeting
is scheduled for Monday eve
ning at 7 p.m. in the hobby
shop.
William M. Black Jr. Is the
new editor of Dominews. He
is really going to town in
trying to make the camp pa
per interesting. In his first
issue he succeeded quite well
with a silk screen Christmas
cover and nice arrangement
of news. His forthcoming is
sue, the eighth anniversary
number, is expected to show
further originality.
Black spent his war years
"down under" in the Pacific
theater. He was in the 41st
disabled, was placed in de
tached service organizing hos
pital units in Australia. His
home now is Medford, where
his parents are living. He was
here after the war and helped
the Army close shop at Camp
White,
John Shealy, who assisted
in working out the system of
detail assignments now em
ployed at the huge VA center
in Los Angeles, has returned
to Camp White and will start
work with the activity con
trol board here as a trainee,
William J. Woods is the
member leader at the present
time.
J. C. Barry, with a back
ground of banking experi
ence, has announced his avail
ability to members with in
come tax problems. He has
been handling income tax
forms for the men for the
past several years, and claims
he has never received a "kick
back" in making returns.
The canteen store was
closed for inventory Friday
and Saturday. The volume of
business during the Christ
mas season will show at this
time. The canteen service is
considered fortunate in hav
ing Clarence Bryan as mana
ger. The VA established this
phase of its operations after
WW II in order to meet the
special needs of the veterans
for this type of mercantile
service. In addition to the
store, the operation includes
the coffee shop and the bar
ber shop.
Bryan has made a study of
conditions at Camp White
and tries to reconcile the ex
acting requirements of the
system with the particular
service features needed at
the domiciliary. His clerks
are courteous and the coffee
shop is open for business
every day except national
holidays.
Pendleton Council
Votes Pay Boost
Pendleton HP) The Pen
dleton city council Tuesday
night voted approval to raise
salaries for city employees in
all forms of work, from labor
ers to the city engineer.
The pay boost, first in five
years, will mean an outlay of
$7,284 for the next six months.
City Manager Lee Swanson
said the move came after
study of a five-months report
to bring Pendleton city em
ployees' salaries "in line with
other Oregon cities."
The raises include the fol
lowing boosts: $15 a month
for laborers; $29 for police
men, carpenters and firemen;
$55 for police and fire chiefs,
and $61 per month for the
city engineer. The council
said all raises would be retro
active to Jan. 1.

Naf ion's Strength
Tomorrow Seen
Biggest Worry,
Washington (TP) Presi
dential science adviser Dr.
James R. Killian believes the
nation's biggest worry is its
technological strength tomor
row not today.
In his first speech since
taking the post the on-leave
president of Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology sounded
a possible keynote of Presi
dent Eisenhower's State of the
Union message to Congress
Thursday.
Killian departed from his
prepared text in an address
to the Women's National
Press club Tuesday night to
emphasize that Russia might
surpass the United States "in
a few years" unless this coun
try steps up its scientific ef
forts. Republicans in Congress in
dicated the President would
paint a reassuring picture of
a strong America in his mess
age, but also would detail spe
cific goals to keep ahead of
Russia.
"Sputnik has shown that
the U.S.S.R. is a very serious
competitor in the technologi
cal field," Killian said. "She
has not passed us yet, but she
has a strong will to do so."
Killian indicated that he
believed this country could
not retain its scientific super
iority merely by appointing a
"czar" to oversee scientific development.
Hopewell, N. J. (IP) Ste
phen Eurossos bagged his first
deer in 30 years of hunting,
but he won't see the buck on
his dinner table. A deer
snatcher stole the buck from
Eurossos' car while the hunter
toasted his luck in a local inn.
I Gill Net Season Extension Seen
SOMETHING ON HIS MIND
Although he has a metal
dart stuck in his forehead,
Bruce Wilson, 6, manages
to smile as he awaits treat
ment at hospital in Spring
field, Mo. Bruce was struck
by tie dart while playing
with several other children.
The brass dart was removed
without difficulty.
Astoria (IF) Biologists of
the Oregon fish research staff
met with some 200 Oregon
and Washington fishing in
dustry representatives and
sportsmen here Tuesday night
and said the research group
will recommend a four-day
extension of the summer gill
net season on the Columbia
river In 1958.
The biologists said that the
gill net season should run
from June 16 to July 15, an
extension of four days over
last year. They said they felt
the extension would not hurt
the salmon run.
IMPOSE BAN ON VODKA
Moscow (IP) The Soviet
government has banned the
sale of vodka at railroad sta
tion cafeterias in an effort to
cut down drunkenness. An
official decree effective Tues
day said that in the future
only licensed railroad restaur
ants catering for long-distance
travellers would be al
lowed to sell hard liquor. The
ban followed complaints by
Muscovites in recent weeks
of "scandalous behavior" by
drunks at the city's railroad
stations.
