ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington President Eis enhower is visibly stiffening his resistence to a public works pro gram on t h e greatly ex- ; panded scale C jb I by the Demo- ; crauc leaders and some Re- jj publicans in Congress.

Two weeks ago he re portedly gave word that a list of new projects be compiled, to, be recommended to Con gress if the recession showed no signs of improvement. Such a new projects program was being advocated by Sec retary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton and key Republicans in Congress from the western states, informed sources said Prior to that the president had approved a program for accelerating work on certain projects of both river develop ment agencies. This had the result of adding to his budget requests for ongoing projects. Panic Seems Passed But no new projects were recommended, and as of now it appears unlikely any will be by the White House.

Cave Junction city council members discussed the city dump problem at the regular meeting Monday night. As has been pointed out before, the dumping privilege is oeing abused at the city-maintained grounds at the Forks, near Cave Junction. A small fee is asked, this to be paid on the honor sys tem, at the city office. So far this year Recorder Amelia Dick has received almost no revenue from this source, in spite of the fact that the dump grows fuller, and that broken glass and other refuse are creating a hazard to cars who drive into the area. It was also pointed out that unauthorized persons are ask ing fees of person uskig the aump, and that the money does not find its way back to the city office. Laurence Cushing, city at torney, was instructed to draw up an ordinance con cerning the dump, for approv al by the council.

He said he thought it necessary to get back to a balanced budget this year's will probably be out of balance "if we are going to have conservative fis cal operations in this country, and logical ones." Hot Anli-Recession Measures Eisenhower warned against "uncoordinated and unwise operations that are brought forward in the name of anti recession measures but which aren't necessarily that. I do not believe merely to begin talking about billions and bil lions for building up some tremendous structures that, at this moment, are not needed by our economy, I do not be lieve that those are necessari ly anti-recession measures. It takes years, certainly months and often years, to get them ready before you begin to em ploy people." In that statement the presi dent was possibly referring mainly to the rivers and har bors bill which he had ve toed the day before. Although some had referred to it as an anti-recession bill, this' was a difficult label to support. It would have added to the pres ent $4.6 billion backlog of authorized rivers and harbors projects an additional list of projects costing $1.7 billion. None would be built without United Air Lines Releases Names Of Crash Victims Chicago OP) United Air Lines Monday released the following list of passengers aboard a UAL DC7 downed in a collision with an Air Force jet plane in Nevada.

Tim says he's happy, but I don't believe it. Timothy R. I Could be happy without her heckling. Lillian T. I am a young, married woman very much concerned about my younger brother, Tim. Tim is now 25 and has never been out on a date. He has never even had any real men friends. He was always a quiet boy at school and he is the same way now. He does his work," goes home to read, or watch TV. He says he is happy but I don't believe it. I feel that Tim may be afraid to ask girls out because of his weight. He is very much overweight and I think he feels that people are making fun of him. He keeps on saying he's going to go on a diet, but never really gets around to it. Timothy R. My sister really gets in my hair, always telling me what to do and what not to do. I could be very happy without her always heckling me. Lillian doesn't realize that I can't go running around nights because I can't leave our mother alone at home. She is a widow and doesn't have many friends. She de pends on me to keep her com pany in the evening. I would like to meet some nice girl, but I just don't happen to know any and even if I did, there'd be my mother to con sider. As for my being fat, well, I just like good food, but one of these days I'll get on that diet and surprise everyone. The Council Tyn is lucky to have a sister who appreci ates the seriousness of his sit uation. Unfortunately, heck ling seldom works in such a case. Sometimes itv even has the opposite effect. A person like Tim may feel justly pun ished by a tongue-lashing from his sister. Then he feels free to continue behaving in the same way. . f' One of the great misfor tunes of Tim's situation is that his behavior is seldom recog nized as a sign of disease. So ciety is now ready to recog nize alcoholism as a disease because its results are usually so dramatic. Besides, alcohol ics bother other people. A man like Tim bothers nobody, but destroys himself physically and mentally as surely, as does the alcoholic. We do not refer merely to Tim's obesity, which in itself is a bad sign. Tim has denied himself all active pleasure in life, outside of eating. He un doubtedly wants and heeds social life. He is using his mother as an . instrument to tie himself down. He tries to avoid living. He will not even allow himself to admit that he is suffering. Some individuals suffer JOB?

He declared: "I think that you have got to be 'very, very careful about just proposing great public works, things as anti-recession measures and then remember ing that if you have all of these great measures coming to the peak of their expendi ture curves all at the same time, what this, country will need to appropriate and take witht tears and tantrums and learn to call attention to their wretched plight. Persons like Tim deaden, themselves and try to lull others into believing that all is well. But all is NOT well. Tim should allow .him self to feel his own pain and loneliness. It will stir him into doing something about plight. His family physican may be able to help him past the first steps with a good diet and may recommend some psychiatric help as well.

Centennial Novelty Sales Restricted Portland (IP) Anthony Braridenthaler, chairman of the Oregon Centennial Com mission, said today that use of official Oregon centennial seals, emblems, medallions and other identifying marks in connection with souvenir and novelty items and merch andise of any description which is to be sold is prohibit ed except by written permis sion..

The Democrats are push ing through a bill to increase by about SI billion the amount available in federal loans to states and local com munities for public facilities, such as sewage disposal proj ects. When this bill passed the Senate this past week by a 60-26 vote, all but four Demo crats voted for it but Republi cans were sharply split, 22 opposing it and 20 supporting it. The administration has not requested the bill, and the president could readily veto it. ' Program for West ' What counts more for the Pacific Northwest is what happens when the public works appropriations bill reaches the final voting stage, for this will determine how much money will be made available starting July 1 for the Corps of Engineers, Bu reau of Reclamation and all other federal agencies with programs now underway in the region. The Democratic leaders have worked up a greatly ex panded spending program for western projects, but whether they will seek to push it re mains to be seen. The Oregon delegation plans to increase General Motors Plans Single Shell Detroit (IP) General Motors has plans for a single body shell, for all five of its cars that will enable it to turn out completely new models every year, an automotive journal says. Automotive News said GM has built three different small cars as prototypes for its possible entry into the field. -. The journal said the one reported most likely to reach production has a rear- engine with a unitized body and swing axles, allowing in dividual suspension of each wheel. General Motors has made no comment on its small car plans and the one-body shell concept. It has traditionally used three different body shells for various models of its Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Olds mobiles, Buicks and Cadillacs. "GM's Fisher Body Divi sion will use one basic body shell for all five cars" in 1959" the trade paper said. asm mmrmiimim v formerly SOUTHWEST AIRWAYS For reservations call SPrlng 2-6161 or your Travel Scale funds for the state's projects if possible, and their success in recent years in getting new dams started over administra tion opposition is an indica tion they can expect some suc cess. It appears likely that one or two new dams of modest proportions will be added to the budget for the Northwest, probably Green Peter dam on the Santiam and Lower Monu mental dam on the ldwer Snake River. The budget re quested by the president con tains only planning funds for these two projects. The extent to which pub lic works funds will be ap propriated this summer and, just as vital, the proportion of appropriations that will ac tually be spent by the admin istration, appear to depend on the unemployment curve in coming weeks and the intan gible political sixth sense which both parties will em ploy to sense' what will . be acceptable to the voters this election year.
