Other Quotes From the Hews ByNITErTpRESS '''' Washington The presidents of the 12 Federal Reserve banks, in a Senate Finance committee survey endorsing the administration's wait-and-see attitude toward the recession: "On Ihe other hand, if it should appear ihat consumer spending is being substantially curtailed as a result of un employment and apprehensiveness concerning future pros pects ... vigorous steps in the form of prompt-acting govern mental measures would be indicated." Washington The Air Force in saying it has taken steps to make it virtually impossible for one of its bombers acci dentally to release an atomip bomb: "The possibility of such a release is so remote as to be indeterminable."

'Witch1 Given Credit for Good Performance in TV 'Hansel and Gretei7 Show By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York OP) It's a temptation to sum up Sunday night's NBC-TV "Hansel and ureter as f r n n ts rn " V 6 II witch and what. So will. It was Hans Conried as witch named Hazel and a quartet of William Ewald witch appren tices named Eenie (Will Able), Meenie (Paula Laurence), Miney (Shai Ophir) and Moe (Sondra Lee) who shot almost all of the spark into the eve ning. I guess you could call it a kind of witch-fulfillment Anyway, the truth is that aside from Conried and his cuddlessome crew, none of the cast had very much to do during the hour. Rise Stevens turned in a sweet and skill ful attack on a tune that believe wSs called "Evening Prayer," but aside from that bit, she was wasted. An actor named Red But tons struggled valiantly in the semi-comic role of Hansel, Barbara Cook as Gretei didn't have much to do and she did it as well as you can do not much. Rudy Vallee was elbowed to the side. As for the proceedings, they were standard TV fairy tale complete with dancing animals, animated shrubbery, indifferent tunes and the sort of primitive humor calculat ed to satisfy those primitive creatures, children. But to get back to Conried I don't believe I've ever seen the man give a bad perform ance. His silly witch Sunday came equipped with a dust cap, false nose, blonde curls and an elegant raglan-sleeved rag, and was a fine-fingered masterwork. As the villain of the piece, Conried lost out in the end. But I couldn't help feeljng that the lanky Conried along with his student witches were the only real winners of the evening. NBC-TV "Dial M for Mur der" was one of those 90 minute specs that couldn't miss. And it didn't. For anyone who has seen "Dial M" on the stage or in the movies, the plot line was freely chartable. But as some one said to me the other day, what counts in a drama is not what happens so much as how it happens. "Dial M" happened fine. George Schaefer's dexterous direction milked, I would say, a maximum of juice out of the cW animal. The danger in staging a Broadway play like "Dial M"' is to shoot it as just that a three-walled play with just enough camera shifting to keep it kosher. But Schaefer gave the whole business a fluidity and dimen sion that shaped it beauti fully for TV. The cast was a gasser with Maurice Evans, Rosemary Harris and John Williams carrying the big ' ball. An thony Dawson in the bit role of a stinker also was a fra grant plus. College Money Problems Studied Salem (IF) Better means for measuring the financial needs of public supported colleges and universities is the goal of a regional legisla tive workshop on financing higher education which open ed in Denver Sunday, Gov. Robert D. Holmes said. The governor will address the closing session of the workshop on Tuesday on "De cisions Ahead in Higher Edu cation." The workshop'' will bring together legislative and exec utive officials with an inter est in higher education from the H western states, Alaska and Hawaii. The meeting is sponsored by the Western Governors' conference, the Western In terstate Commission for High er Education and the Western Regional conference of the Council of 4 State Govern ments. Better methods of budget ary review, the place of high er education in the state budget, the use of student fees in financing higher edu cation and the special prob lems of junior college financ ing will all be discussed. Steam Out of Slump Bv End Of June? By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Correspondent Washington (IP The White House has received a new, expert appraisal of the recession: the "steam" will be out of it by the end of June. The Labor Department, meanwhile, announced Fri day night that idleness among workers covered by unen ployment insurance climbed to a new postwar high of 3,363,300 during the week ended April 12. The total ex ceeded the previous week's record'by 49,000. On the brighter side, the department's Bureau of Em ployment Security said claims filed by newly laid off work ers declined last week to 446,400, a drop of 15,400. But the drop was not as sharp as in the corresponding week in 1957. The government said total unemployment in mid-March including both insured and uninsured workers reach ed a 16-year peak of 5,198, 000. Forecasts Differ Some of President Eisen hower's top advisers say that after June there will be a comparatively level econo mic period until late summer or early autumn when a definite pick-up is expected. Their latest forecast does not jibe exactly with such economic prognosticators as Secretary of Commerce Sin clair Weeks. He said last week he thought the country was in the worst of the slump. A third school of thought was found outside the gov ernment among economists employed by private organi No Censure Given To Reed College Denver (IP The Ameri can Association of University Professors recently failed to take censure action against Reed college of Portland. Red had previously been mentioned in a report sub mitted before the convention opened here in connection with the dismissal of Prof. Stanley Moore. The associa tion committee on academic freedom noted, however, that Moore had been given a year's severance pay after his dismissal. Five schools were censured by the association in cases in volving faculty dismissals. Experts of the U.S. Cham ber of Commerce, for ex ample, are of the opinion the recession still is in progress but will hit bottom in the second or third quarters of this year. This means, simply, by September. A member of the Presi dent's corps of economic specialists said . indications now were that the broad in dices of income and produc tion would not continue downward after June. "I think the steam will be gone out of this thing by the end of the second quarter," he said. "Business probably will be milling around in the usually lousy months of July and August, but after that we should see developments in an upward direction. "It will be autumn, how ever, before we get what you would call a real, "lift." Carpenters Talk Shorter Week Astoria (IP Qregon car penters, now on a 40-hour week, voted at their recent convention here to' work for a shorter work week and urged all building crafts to join in the drive. Volney Martin, secretary of the Building and Construc tion Trades council, said he assumed carpenters would campaign for a six-hour day. The 33rd annual convention was told that all building trades crafts would have to win the same work reduc tions as carpenters or else they would take over carpen ter work. Delegates also voted to "ex tend a welcome hand to the Teamsters" in spite of that union's expulsion from the AFL-CIO earlier. William Callahan, member of the Oregon Unemployment Compensation c o m m i ssion, said Friday that Gov. Robert Holmes' decision to borrow $14 mililon from the Federal government to . bolster the state compensation fund was a sound and reasonable move. THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE Chicago (IP) Brookfield Zoo officials thought the ar rival of a male monkey from Africa would be just the spring tonic for two sad-faced female monkeys. But the new arrival's thoughts did not light ly turn, so the zoo now has three sad-faced monkeys. Woman Recovers From Plane Crash And Exposure John Day (IP) Mrs. Patri cia Davis, 35-year-old wife of Fesno, Calif., orchestra lead er Bruce Davis has continued to respond to hospital treat ment after surviving a three day ordeal of loneliness and severe cold beside the snow covered wreckage of their light plane in Oregon plateau country. Dr. Martha van de Vlugt, co-director of John Day gen eral hospital, said the most se rious phase of Mrs. Davis' in juries remains her frozen hands and feet, particularly the lower legs, and feet." "But she moves her toes," the doctor said, "and has some sensation in her feet." Mrs. Davis' rescue by air force helicopter followed a heroic walk through rugged snowbound country by her husband who left the crash scene to bring help. Both were hospitalized here. Davis suffered two- broken ribs, sore feet, exposure and exhaustion but was described in "good condition" Saturday. The Davises, en route to Spokane, Wash., from Fresno, to visit his parents, had al most been given up for lost when he stumbled into a ranch home near Dayville about 25 miles west of here earjy Thursday. Their Cessna cracked up last Monday after it ran low on gas. Beck To Appear On Traffic Charge Tulare, Calif. (IP) Former Teamsters Union boss David Beck Sr., 64, Seattle, has been ordered to appear in Tulare Justice Court May 14 for al legedly driving on the wrong side of the road. Beck was cited Friday night by Highway Patrolman Ken neth Galloway, who avoided a collision with Beck's car while chasing a speeder by skidding into the dividing strip of U. S. 99 about four miles north of here. Beck explained he attempt ed to turn off the highway onto an access road to Tagus Ranch Restaurant but instead went into the northbound lane. He then turned around and headed south in the lane as Gallowy sped north in pur suit of the speeder who got away. Summer Fast Time Set Sunday For Switchover By UNITED PRESS Millions of Americans set the clock ahead an hour Sat urday night. They lost an hour sleep and gained an hour of daylight as more than one-half of the 48 states and the District of Columbia, went on Daylgiht Saving time. The switchover to summer "fast time" was set officially for 2 a.m. Sunday local time in most communities making Sutherlin Man Dies In Head-on Crash Roseburg (IP) A Sutherlin resident was killed and four other persons hospitalized after two cars collided head on at 4:10 p.m. Sunday about five miles west of Sutherlin on Highway 225. It was the first traffic fa tality of 1958 for Douglas county. The Douglas county coro ner's office said Arthur Stef ferud, 53, was killed instantly. A Sutherlin family of four was hospitalized . at Douglas Community hospital here and all were listed in "satisfac tory" condition. Raymon Elza Perry received a lacerated hand and his vife, Juanita, suffered deep facial cuts. Their two daughters, Peggy, 7, and Teena, 4, received mi nor hurts. Haiti's current population is estimated at three million. the change As usual, it was a spotty affair which threw some areas into confusion and renewed old battles over what time it was. The Red River valley of North Dakota headed into its second summer of confusion over the issue. Minnesota, just across the river, switched to Daylight Saving time Sunday. The Wahpeton, N.D., city council voted to put clocks on "fast time" Monday morn ing to conform to sister city Breckenridge, Minn. But Grand Forks, N.D., vetoed DST despite the fact that East Grand Forks, Minn., was putting its timepieces ahead. Most of Alabama remained on Standard time. But Hunts ville switched to Daylight so Redstone arsenal wouldn't fall too far behind Army head quarters in Washington. Deca tur, where many Redstone employees live, also changed to DST, but neighboring Athens stood pat, forcing the Redstone workers who live there to rise one hour earlier to get to their jobs. Kentucky had a new law providing fines of S25 to $500 andor Jail terms for officials of towns or businesses that ignore the state's long-standing anti-DST statute. But the new legislation doesn't become effective until June 19, so Louisville and some other cities planned to observe "voluntary" Daylight Saving time until that date. Then they'll revert to Stand ard time.
