TV Critic Finds 'Trial by Slander' Excellent Show By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York "Studio One" has been stumbling around since CBS-TV moved it to Hollywood, but Monday night the drama hour righted itself with a warm and wondrous offering, "Trial by Slander." Written by Roger Hirson, "Trial by Slander" was a bit -.of a rarity for television drama: It was both sturdy and tender, harsh and com passionate, and it ended on an upbeat note without being pompous about it. The drama starred Fran chot Tone, Margaret O'Brien, Rosemary De Camp and Den nis Hopper, all of them play ers of competence. In partic ular, I would like to single out Hopper who essayed with silken intelligence the role of a young man fumbling in his own web of mediocrity and uncomprehension. "Trial by Slander" dealt with a high school teacher, who, struck by the poetic tal ent of one of his female pu pils, devotes his spare time to encouraging her. He is ac cused of taking more than a scholarly interest in the girl and the drama revolves around the town's efforts to throw and brand him. Even more important though were the play's at tempts to explore the prob lems of the exceptional stu dent, of a teacher's relation ship with his class and of the reluctance of communi ties to accept the non-con formist. I haye but one minor bone to fling and that concerns the tendency of "Studio One" to climax each big scene with what is known as a "stab" of music. It' hokey and pretty small -timish and I suggest CBS-TV bury all future stabs In their scabbards. A word or two about Incomesmanship IiteoMiSMAHSinr: The fine art of Bpping ycmr income.

HORNBROOK Normal Activities Begin By MRS, H. H.

Eisenhower's Plea Draws Rejection And Skepticism Washington (IP) Presi dent Eisenhower urged in his economic message to Congress Monday that business and lab or hold down price and wage increase. But his plea drew a flat rejection from one union lead er and skepticism from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The President's report on the state of the nation's eco nomy said the current busi ness recession "need not be prolonged." Economic growth this year, he said, "can be resumed without extended in terruption." But he warned that re covery from the business slump could be slowed unless business and labor exercise self-restraint. Must Limit Demands Business leaders, he said, must hold price increases to amounts warranted by in creased production costs. And labor, he said, must limit its demands for higher wages to gains in productivity per man hour. President James B. Carey of the International Union of Electrical Workers disagreed vigorously. "The fact is that we are in a depression," Carey said. "We need an enormous ex pansion in mass purchasing power and the only way - to get it is through wage in creases and not piddling wage increases either." f Emerson P. Schmidt, chief economist of the U. S. Cham ber of Commerce, said he is not convinced that the Presi dent's sermon to business and labor on restraint will have effect." But he said he was gratified that Eisenhower's message "emphasizes the importance of sustained growth" of the economy.

Democratic leaders coun tered by accusing the Repub licans of being "two-faced" and of being dredging up "stale" charges. President Eisenhower led the list of Republican leaders who spoke at 44 fund-raising dinners around the nation Monday night to kick off this year's GOP campaign. In a nationally televised ad dress, the President told a $100-a-plate fund-raising din ner in Chicago that he will personally head up defense department modernization. And Eisenhower promised America's defense will grow "ever stronger" against the threat of Soviet Russia. In his talk, the President also advised his fellow Repub licans against the threat of Soviet Russia. In his talk, the President also advised his fellow Repub licans against making national security and peace "partisan or political" .issues. Puts Blame on Truman. Presidential Assistant Sher man Adams, speaking in Min neapolis, blamed the Truman administration for the mis sile lag and said the GOP had plenty of ammunition on the defense issue, including Pearl Harbor, the Korean war, the Joss of China to Communism and Red thefts of atomic secrets. Adams said during the "eight critical years" between 1945 and 1953,. the Truman administration left the long range missile program as "dead as the proverbial dodo" and spent more on peanut price supports than on long range missiles. Democratic National Com mittee Chairman Paul M. Butler issued a statement in Washington blasting Adams for bringing up "stale politi cal charges" and said Adams apparently had not read the President's speech. Sen. Hubert B. Humphrey (D-Minn.) also hit Adams' speech, calling it "handsful of Madleys J 17 South Central We need room for our NEW SPRING mer chandise.

In a state ment from WaCshlngton, Humphrey called Adams "the non-elected president without portfolio" and charged: "The people can have little confidence in two-faced lead ership that permits the Presi dent's assistant to deliberately provoke a bitter partisan battle by distorting the his torical record at the same time the President is calling for bipartisanship." Small Industries Better, Planning Chairman Says The Pacific Northwest is about 10 years behind other sections of the United States in industrial growth, accord ing to Julius Jenson, chair man of the Oregon State Department of Planning and Development, at the Monday noon chamber of commerce roundtable meeting. He told the group about 10 per cent of the total of in dustry expansion in the United States is the target of all states' planning groups. About 90 per cent of industry expansion takes place in the same area as the orginal plant, he said. Jenson said he would rather have 10 industries, employing 50 people each, than one large industry, employing about 500. The smaller plants will grow to larger ones and cities would not be so dependent upon one industry as Seattle is he explained to the meet ing. It takes about 2M years for the average industry to decide on out of state locations, he said. He told of one plant, recently moving to Oregon, who began thinking of mov ing to the Pacific Northwest in 1948 and will not begin operations on a commercial scale until later this year. Income taxes and corpora tion taxes in the state have not yet hampered companies moving to Oregon, he said. He told the group a lot of complaints have been received about the tax structure, but few can point to the point of trouble in the tax structure.

Tuesday, January 21, 19S8 Demos ffor MissiBe Here is what top Republi can speakers had to say at various dinners around the country: New York: Vice President Richard M. Nixon lauded the administration's record dur ing the five years. He said, "we have had a splendid rec ord without Truman (former President Harry S. Truman), an outstanding program in foreign policy, national de fense and social progress. The will be started about the first of February, he said. The pro gram will study the impact of the tax structure on the state's economy, on existing and new payrolls and will provide recommendations to the 1959 state legislature. The survey of the tax structure was one of the major re sults of the Governor's "area tours" held last fall, Jenson explained. Jenson said the department of planning and development, when first authorized by the legislature in 1951, received no money but later was allot ed about $50,000. The 1957 legislature enlarged both the size, duties and budget of the department, he said. The cur rent budget is $240,000. The department now con sists of three staff rnen and two office girls, he said. An advisory committee consisting of members of business firms, labor and industry meets once each month with the depart ment, he said. The advisory committee is made up of all major Oregon industries and represents every section of the state, he added. Jensen told of a project planned for the New York Times in the near future. He said the Times will soon carry a special section on Oregon in one of its Sunday editions. He hoped the article would not only help to attract industry but tourists as well.

Denver: Air Force Secretary James H. Douglas blamed the Democrats in the late 1940s or failure to "recognize the psychological effects" of put ting a satellite in orbit. He said the Democrats "virtually abandoned" the nation's ef forts in this area while- the Soviets "stayed on the job." Los Angeles: U.S. Attorney General William P. Rogers said perhaps the administra tion's greatest accomplish ment was the maintenance of peace. He credited the GOP with creating the greatest era of prosperity, and said the na tion should not waste time trying to decide who is to blame for the missile lag. Detroit: Sen. Barry Gold water (R-Ariz.) singled out United Auto Workers Presi dent Walter Reuther for at tack, calling him "the real so cialist leader of America." Omaha: Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield said the Eisenhower administra tion has brought the Demo crats "galloping inflation . . . almost to a dead halt." Yakima, Wash.: Ariculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson, turning aside attacks on his proposed price support cut ting farm program, said the goal of the administration is a "free and prosperous peace time agriculture." He said new programs are needed to do the job, not the old pro duction controls and price setting programs of the Demo crats. Des Moines: Interior Secre tary Fred A. Seaton charged the Democrats with being in consistent in their attacks on the administration's defense program. Vancouver, Wash.: Secre tary of Labor James P. Mitch ell said that "99 per cent of all the money spent on mis sile development has been spent during the Eisenhower administration." Mitchell said "President Eisenhower has seen what needs to be done to make our defense stronger and has set about to do it." Exchanges or Refunds mm m w Is your pay all you have to live on?
