6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, April 30, 1958 Eisenhower Sees -4 1 Signs Recession Flattening Out Washington (IP) Presi dent Eisenhower s&id today that the April drop in unem ployment is an example of the continued and emphatic evidence that the recession is flattening out. But the President told his weekly news conference he does not believe that the 78, 000 decline in unemployment reported Tuesday warrants a conclusion that an economic upturn has started. He noted that, with a sea sonal adjustment, the unem ployment figures could not be interpreted quite as favor ably. Studious Analysis As for a possible tax cut, the President said it is a mat ter that both the executive and legislative branches of the government must have a very close and studious analy sis of before making any real move in that direction. In other news conference highlights, the President: Said emphatically that he has no intention of resigning in favor of Vice President Richard M- Nixon as long as he feels he is capable of do ing the job. He said he took on the duties of the office and he is going to perform, them as long as he is able. Discusses Nixon Said he and Nixon are very waj-m friends and he admires and respects him. But the President said he has no intention of handpicking him as his successor. He said that is a matter for the Re publican party. He said it has a lot of good men both in and outside government. But he said he is trying to keep Nixon as well informed about government policy and opera tions as he can in trie event Idaho River Group Hopes To Reach Sea Lewiston, Idaho (IP) Four persons were battling the treacherous waters of the Sal mon river in north Idaho to day in an attempt to reach the Pacific Ocean.

Gave a flat no in answer to question whether the ad ministration might bend some on its defense reorganization plan in light of the continued strong opposition from some influential congressmen. He went on to say that every possible concession had been made to each of the individ ual services before his plan wa k' sent to Congress. He said the essentials of the plan are to his mind mandatory if the U.S. is to be properly de fended and as economically as possible. Any retreat from the essentials designed for unity of military strategy would be inexcusable, he said. " Opposes Military Merger But he said he does not believe merger-of the Army, Navy and Air Force into one service would be a good thing, even theoretically. He said it would wipe out the traditional morale and pride of the nation's fighting men in their particular individual services.

Women Found Not Very Good at Job Of Solving Problems By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (IP A scien tific investisation has veri fied something long suspected of women . . . That when it comes to sol ving problems they're not nearly as good as men. ' But the irives ; tigation show ' ed this wasn't ma as 'a.a . Delos Smitb ucuauoc mcu reasoning powers are weaker than men's, as many author ities have asserted example: William James, the great American psychologist, said "Woman is the unreasoning animal." Women aren't much gootl at solving problems because they don't much care whether problems are solved or not, the investigation found. When persuaded to buckle down to working on problems, women did quite well solving them.

Dr. Carey experimented with 12 women and 12 men. Both groups had been found to be equal in matters of in telligence, aptitudes for math ematical thinking and for ex pressing themselves, and in abilities to comprehend what they heard and were told. Her first picking from test ing their minds comparatively was a clear demonstration that the men really wanted to solve problems and that the women, in general, didn't. Stimulate Interest Then followed an experi mental step which involved a well concealed effort to in crease the interest of both men and women in problem solving. After that, both were given more problems to solve. The women improved a great deal, the men hardly at all. Dr. Carey thought this showed that all women need ed in order to solve problems as effectively as men, was ihe desire to do so. Reporting to the American Psychological association. She pointed out that women often say they're not up to it when asked to solve a problem.
