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.

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.

By UNITED PRESS
Republicans opened their
1958 campaign to capture con
trol of Congress by blaming
Democrats for the missiles lag
and for past wars despite an
appeal by the President for
bipartisanship in defense
matters.
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

old and sour mud." 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.

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

United Auto Workers Presi
dent Walter Reuther for at
tack, calling him "the real so

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."

A paycheck is a very fine thing,
no doubt about it. But it does
have disadvantages. Unless you

As an owner, you can share in

Dividend checks give you extra

tinue throughout your lifetime.
Income that may grow if the
