Eisenhower Stiffening Resistence To Public Works Program on
By A. 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.
It is consid-
a. Eobt smith ered less like
ly now that he will approve
a program of new starts for
the Eureau of Reclamation
and the Army Corps of Engi
neers. 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. The
tide of mild panic about
throwing federal funds into
the unemployment breach
seems to have passed.
The fact that it took Eisen
hower until almost the 10
day deadline for deciding

members discussed the city

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.

! than anything else. 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

Lillian T. 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

"So, I am trying to say:
let's try to be reasonable. Let's

As always, congressional
leaders are playing the dy
namic recession situation by
ear. 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. '

Pacific Northwest is what
happens when the public

for this will determine how
much money will be made
available starting July 1 for

other federal agencies with

The Democratic leaders
have worked up a greatly ex

western projects, but whether
they will seek to push it re

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.

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

which both parties will em
