Heart Attack
Claims Former
Bank Executive
President Cancels
Plans for Dinner
Kansas City, Mo. OP) Ar
thur Eisenhower, the Presi
dent's eldest brother and fore
runner for a subsequent pat
tern of family success, died
Sunday night of a heart at
tack at 71.
The former banking execu
tive had been in failing
health for almost a year, but
his death was unexpected. He
had not complained of being
ill when, shortly after 7:30
p.m. (e.s.t.) he collapsed in
the bathroom of his suburban
home. Friends said Eisenhow
er had planned to fly to New
York today.
A family spokesman said
funeral arrangements would
not be completed until late to
day. In Washington, Presi
dent Eisenhower learned of
his boyhood model's death at
the White House and can
celled plans for a dinner
Thursday night. It was ex
pected here that the Presi
dent would fly to Kansas City
some time today.
Dr. Joseph Welker, Arthur
Eisenhower's physician, said
the thin-haired businessman
had suffered from "an insuf
ficient heart for a long
while."
Eisenhower, who rose from
a S5 a week messenger boy's
job to the vice presidency of
the Commerce Trust com
pany, Kansas City, had come
here when 18 from his fam
ily's home at Abilene, Kan.
He resigned the post and
from the firm's board of di
rectors about a year ago be
cause of poor health.
Though without college
training, a fact he sometimes
lamented, Eisenhower had
served as a director of sev
eral prominent organizations,
including Trans World Air
lines. Eisenhower is survived by
his widow, a daughter, Mrs.
Katherine Roueche, Amagan
sett. N.Y., and a grandson,
Arthur Bradford Roueche.
Kadar Resigns as
Hungarian Premier
Budapest LP Hungarian
Communist leader Janos Ka
dar resigned today as premier
and turned over the reigns
of government to Deputy Pre
mier Ference Muennich. But
Kadar retained his post as
head of the Hungarian Com
munist party.
Kadar, announcing a major
government reshuffle, told
Parliament he was stepping
down from the premiership
because of the weight of his
party duties. He said he would
be a minister of state in the
revamped government.
In a speech to Parliament,
Kadar said there would be an
amnesty for Hungarians who
did not take active part in
the revolt of October, 1956.
But he declared that the re
volt leader, Gen. Pal Malester,
and other leading figures
would face trial.

Stone Fruit Men
To Meel Here
The Stone Fruit Growers
will meet Tuesday, Jan. 28,
at 1 p.m. in the court house
auditorium, according to Don
Berry, county extension
agent.
The program will start at
1:15 with Iain MacSwan,
plant pathologist of Oregon
State college, explaining new
spray materials. His talk will
be followed by that of L. G.
Gentner, entomologist at the
Southern Oregon Branch ex
periment station, who will
speak on peach silver mite and
aphis.
Berry will discuss the 1958
peach spray program and
Henry H a r t m a, n, horticul
turist, Oregon State college,
will talk on peach pruning as
it relates to split pits, color,
and size.
Prior lo the close of the ses
sion a panel discussion will
be held on the future of our
peach marketing. Panel mem
bers will include Roland Gro
der, Oregon State college
marketing specialist; Don
Korth', Phoenix, Art Wilson,
Medford, and Frank Tammey,
Ashland, all grower-shippers
in the county. Cilford B.
Cordy will moderate the
panel.
Coffee hour will be held
at 4 p.m.
Berry said all growers and
others interested in the pro
duction of stone ruits are
invited to attend the meeting.
Couplet
the street will not be blocked
during the construction pe
riod, but some one-way traffic
rwill be necessary, he added.
Several Port Orford cedar
trees in a section of the city's
library park must be removed
to allow construction, city of
ficials said. They said the
trees, too large to move suc
cessfully, will likely be re
placed elsewhere in the park,
with the city being assessed
25 per cent of the cost.
They said plans first called
for moving the trees, which
are said to be quite valuable,
but in talking with experts it
was learned the trees were too
large and too old for success
ful transplanting. The trees
must be removed before grad
ing of the project can start.
Officials hope the grading can
start in about a month.

ministration officials on re
habilitation programs, Orr ex
plained. Orr represents Ore
gon and the other western
states.
Orr said he proposed the
resolution, which specifically
refers to domiciliaries in
Georgia, Iowa and Medford
"Oregon is the only state
in the union which has no
more Veterans administration
hospital beds now than it did
before World War II," Orr
commented.
The resolution will be
brought up again during a na
tional rehabilitation meeting
in February when Orr and
other Legion representatives
will meet with the director of
veteran affairs in Washing
ton, D.C.
Orr said today his talk with
the western area medical of
ficer for the Veterans Admin
istration made him feel opti
mistic about chances of get
ting the requested hospital
beds here. If hospital beds are
provided here, Orr said he
did not know how many there
would be.
Orr said he had included
the other domiciliaries in his
resolution since he felt it had
a better chance of passing if
made national in scope.
Thursday the board of di
rectors of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce re
quested the Veterans admin
istration convert the perman
ent facilities at Camp White
into a veteran's hospital pro
viding 400 beds.
In a letter to Sumner G.
Whittier, administrator of vet
eran's affairs, the Chamber
said it "has become vitally
interested in the development
of a veteran's hospital in con
nection with the veteran's
domiciliary at Camp White."
A number of farm and civic
croups have gone on record
favoring the Camp White pro
posal. One of the most recent
is the Machinist Local 1468
which voted unanimously in
favor of reactivating the hos
pital facilities at Camp White
for a permanent veterans nos-
pital. ,

Dulles, Baghdad
Talks Marred by
Bomb Attacks
Ankara, Turkey (IP) Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles met today with the
five Baghdad Pact nations in
a conference marred by bomb
attacks on the U.S. embassy
here and new propaganda
blasts by the Soviet Union. .
Informed sources said
Dulles would open the door
for further U.S. aid to the
four Moslem members of the
pact Iran, Iraq, Turkey and
Pakistan but would make
"no dramatic or flamboyant
plans" during the 3 V& "day-
session. . '
The Dromised U.S. aid is
likelv to be smaller than that
asked by the Moslem nations
which with Britain form the
anti-Communist pact. The aid
is needed for building com
munications, especially high
ways, between the nations and
rerouting imperiled oil pipe
lines.
Strong Appeal Planned
The rjact members indicat
ed they would make a strong
appeal to the United States
to join the pact but Dulles
was unwilling to join in full.
He is here as an "observer,"
with the United States sub
scribing only to the military,
economic and anti-subversive
cGmmittees of the pact.
One of the two bomb at
tacks came shortly before
midnight when unknown
terrorists threw a bomb wnicn
damaged a warehouse on the
pmbassv erounds. The second
came shortly after midnight
when a bomb was tossed at a
Turkish bookstore which sells
American books near the em
bassy, and is often mistaken
for the nearby U.S. Informa
tion Service (USIS) bookstore.
No injuries were reported.
Only Two Cases Noted
In Quiet Weekend Here
Medford citv nolice rerjort-
ed tw$ cases between 12:01
a.m. Sunday and 8:30 a.m.
Monday morning. Officials
said the city was quiet during
the wek end and the lack of
cases was possibly a record.
'Meanwhile, Back At
&
More Funds
Foir Defense
Available
Washington IIP) The Eisenhower administration is ready
to open the purse strings further if defense needs require it.'
This was made clear Sunday night by Treasury Secretary
Robert B. Anderson, who asserted "survival is our first prior
ity," and by Deputy Defense Secretary Donald A. Quarles.
It came in the midst of continuing demands by some Demo
crats for a bigger defense budget and a call for an added $15
billion yearly arms outlay by the author of a secret Army
report on U.S. security.
In another defense development, the Democratic and Re
publican leaders of the Senate Armed Services committee
told the United Press they now favor some form of defense
reorganization, but not supreme military authority for a
single chief of staff. .The senators plan to give the Pentagon
time expected to be about two months to come forward
with its plan before putting forth their own specific ideas.
Military to Decide Requirements
The money for defense line was laid down by Quarles.
He said the President would ask Congress for more defense
funds if his new $40 billion defense budget proves inade
quate. Quarles added he thinks the budget will be sufficient.
Budget Director Percival F. Brundage added the chief execu
tive's requests were "carefully thought out."
Anderson said the Defense department will decide what
is required for national defense, not the Treasury depart
ment. Asked what would happen if the Pentagon says that it
needs an added S3 billion or $4 billion, he replied:
"I think that survival is our first priority. And if the mili
tary people are able to convince the President and those who
have the responsibility for our country, then I conceive it to
be a part of our responsibility to as nearly as we can meet
whatever those requirements are."
He added he thinks the national economy "can stand
more than it is doing now" for defense.
More Money Sought by Some Democrats
Some Democrats, dissatisfied with the administration's
defense program, have indicated they will try to add about
S2 billion more to the President's $40 billion defense budget
for the fiscal year starting next July 1. Others have suggest
ed a need for still bigger outlays.
Dr. Ellis A. Johnson, director of a recent top secret report
to the Army on UiS. defenses, said today the nation must
pay an extra $15 billion yearly for defense "indefinitely" if
it wants to survive. The report was made by the Operations
Research office of Johns Hopkins university, a hush-hush
study group under Army contract.
Johnson, in a copyrighted dispatch in U.S. News & World
Report, said U.S. defenses against Soviet attack are inade
quate and growing worse. He said he thinks Russia could
attack now with "several hundred" bombers and 50 or more
missile-launching submarines and "more than half" would
get through.

Bulte Falls Youth
Held For Checkup
A 21-year-old Butte Falls
youth is being held for a men
tal examination after being
arrested by Medford police on
charges of : attempted rape
Saturday evening.
Medford police said the
youth attempted to assault an
18-year-old Medford girl in
her apartment about 11 p.m.
The girl told police she had
been talking with the youth
about an hour before he at
tempted to force his attentions
on her.
She told police a 20-minute
struggle took place in which
she smashed an alarm clock
on his head and broke an ash
tray on his forehead in ad
dition to scratching his face
and arms. Police said blood
from the youth's wounds cov
ered several articles in the
apartment's two rooms.
The youth was held by two
of the girl's friends who ar
rived and called police. Po
lice said the youth is a former
mental patient and further ac
tion would be postponed until
a psychiatric examination was
held. They said the youth told
the girl he had "just come out
of the woods and had not
seen a woman in a long
time."

Career Planning
Urged By
Career planning to achieve I
success was urged by B. F.
Biaggini, vice president of
Southern Pacific railroad, San
Francisco office, during his
speed before the Distinguish
ed Service Award banquet at
the Rogue Valley country club
Saturday night.
"The accomplishments of
the past and future have
been and will be the result of
careful planning," he said.
"Planning for the future," is
a task which will enable the
individual to direct his ener
gies into the areas where they
will do the most good."
In planning ahead, three
main categories must be con
sidered, he pointed out. They
first involve the private life
of the individual, his business
and community life. Proper
development of each of these
categories and relationship to
each other is clearly the most
important task of everyone
and for young men of Jaycee
ages it presents their greatest
challenge.
Biaggini spoke with special
regard for community plan
ning. Company officials al
ways want to take a measur
ed look at a city before com
mittingt heir new plant in a
community, he said.
Suit Filed Here
On Hartsook Land
A condemnation complaint
has been filed in Jackson
county circuit court by the
state highway commission
against Mr. and Mrs. John P.
Hartsook, 1529 West Main st.,
Jackson County Federal Sav
ings and Loan association, the
city of Medford and the state
of Oregon.
The property being con
demned is a triangle piece of
land containing approximate
ly 50 square feet on the cor
ner of Main and Elm sts. The
lane is now part of the lawn
at the Hartsook residence.
The property is needed for
part of the widening and con
struction needed in the com
pletion of the one-way coup
lets on Eighth and Main sts.
The other parties listed as
defendants, according to the
complaint, were cocerned as
the loan association is the
holder of the mortgage on the
property, the city of Medford
has curbs, gutters and street
improvements on the proper
ty, and the state of Oregon
has certain state income tax
lien against the property.
This is the second condem
nation suit filed by the state
highway department for
right-of-way during . the past
week. The other suit is
against Myron Root and com
pany for the old Root pack
ing house at Eighth and Fir
sts., which is now under lease
to Sloan Electric company.
Over Million
To Improve
To keep pace with indus
trial and residential growth
in Medford, Pacific telephone
spent more than $1,000,000 in
1957, stated Manager Jack
Creager.
Recently compiled figures
show, according to Creager,
the company spent $1,030,000
on expansion and improve
ment of service the past year.
That brings to $2,833,000 the
amount spent on construction
here in the past four years.
Next highest amount in the
four-year period was $969,000
in 1956, the manager said.
SIP Man
"If a community is to at
tain its maximum growth it
must proceed according to a
plan so it will not miss im
portant opportunities in its
development," the railroad of-
iicial said.

Eisenhower Tells
Plan To Maintain
U.S. Leadership
No Dollar Figures
Cited in Message
Washington (W Presi
dent Eisenhower sent Con
gress today an "emergency"
four-year program to speed
up and expand scientific edu
cation and maintain Ameri
can leadership.
Its key provision was for
10,000 scholarships a year for
"able" high school graduates
who lack the financial means
to get to college.
To provide an adequate
staff of trained college teach
ers, the program calls for
5,500 graduate fellowships
over the next four years.
No Dollar Figures
The President cited no dol
lar figures in his special mes
sage to Congress, but the esti
mated four-year cost was
placed roughly at $1,600,000,
000, about $1 billion in fed
eral funds and $600 million
in matching funds put up by
the states and local communi
ties. The President's budget
called for an expenditure of
$247 million in the-fiscal year
starting July l, including
5225 million m new money,
to get the science-weighted
education program underway.
the National Science
Foundation would get $80
million to expand its scholar
ship program, bringing to
$119 million the total recom
mended for the support of
basic, scientific research and
study.
Would Supply Scientists
The President said the new.
five-point program would
help supply "additional high
ly competent scientists and
engineers vitally needed by
the country at this time."
The heart of the President's
program was the recom
mended provision of 10,000
federal scholarships each
year for the next four ytars.
The college scholarships
would" be financed by the
federal government but ad
ministration of them would
be handled by the states.
Scholarships would be al
lotted among the states on a
population basis. '
Not Compulsory
It would not be compulsory
for students to promise to
study science or mathematics
but the states would be en
couraged to give preference
to- students with "good pre
paration or high aptitude" in
these two fields.
When the program was first
announced by the White
House some weeks ago,
Marion B. Folsom, secretary
of health, education and wel
fare, estimated that the
scholarships would average
about $750 to $800 per stu
dent each year.
