$ AIL TRH5UNE, MedforJ, Oregon, Tuesday, May 6, 19S8 - JSMlmW tesia as Broader Threat Free world Douglas H. Ilinasly is a good man to know He can probably save you quite a bit of money. Aft nn Ailctao Afranf w Danger of War iVith Neighbors Jhoughi Lessened t Washington' 1fl President Hisenhower said today that Russia poses a broader threat V the Free World, especially economically, than a year ago. , The President said the dan ger of military action by Rus a against its smaller neigh bors probably has lessened iomewhat. But he said the Itremlin rulers have sharp Jy stepped up their economic Jnd propaganda efforts. i He made the statements in h S5-minute off-the-cuff speech 1 which he warned that high Jariffs and restrictive import Quotas would be ruinous to "America's safety and pros perity. The President told the Ad vertising Council that his re ciprocal trade program, which .'has met strong opposition in Congress, is essential to U.S. -efforts for world peace. He -said that th lesser countries :of the world must be eco nomically strong if they are to resist successfully Russian efforts to dominate them. I They must be able to trade with this country, he said. : Otherwise, he added, they "would have to trade with Rus sia and end up in the Red bloc. Russia Wants World Eisenhower said Russia has made it clear that it will not give up its purpose of domi nating the world. The Rus sian threat is "no idle boast," he said. The Soviet has built a tre mendous military machine and shown "very great skill" in developing mass destruc tion weapons. It "poses for us even a broader threat than a year ago" although it had been at least partially block ed as to military power, he said. Russia has turned more and more to the economic, politi cal and propaganda "type, of invasion," he said. The President also made an other strong appeal for his defense reorganization plan as being essential to the nation's safety and solvency. The na tion's strategic plan must be unified and "a business of one authority" controlled, direct ed and operated by the de . fense secretary under the President as commander-in-chief, he said. Economic Future As to his reciprocal trade program, the President reit- erated that the jobs of 4,500,- 000 American workers depend ' on world trade. He added that U.S. industry also depends to J a substantial extent on im ' ported materials. Without world trade, he said, "our economy will be : shrunken and shrivelled" to , ; an appreciable degree. : He expressed again his con- : fidence in the nation's eco- - nomic future. He said the fed- - eral government has done much and will do more to ; put the nation back on the ; road to prosperity. But he : said that the end of the reces- - sion depends more on the American people as a whole. -Portland School Board Incrtates Teacher Pay 1 : Portland HP) The Port : land school board Monday i : night provided $322,000 for ( ' pay raises- for teachers but : ; turned down a $92,000 allot ; ment for a community tele vision operation. ; The pay boosts would give starting teachers with bache ' lor degrees $4000 instead of ; $3700 and other teachers a ; raise of $100.

"More than 400 divisions" could be made operational within 30 days after war broke out.

Johnson kicked off the Sen ate's space hearings today by declaring, "free men have no intention of rattling sabers among the stars." He said there is "wide agreement" on civilian con trol of space. His remarks were contain ed in a statement prepared for today's opening hearing of the Senate's special Space Committee which the Texas Democrat heads. Even as the senate commit tee considered the President's proposed new agency, new vistas of space flight were de picted by other experts. Dr. Hubertus Strughold, chief of the Air Force Space Medicine department, told the United Press humans can exist on the planet Mars if they stay in pressurized suits or pressurized dwellings. "On Venus we don't know what would happen," he added. "There may be toxic gases." Roy W. Johnson, director of the Defense Department's Advance Research Projects Agency, told the House Space Committee Monday his agency has decided to go ahead with a "very urgent" secret space project with a "50 per cent chance of success." He re fused to disclose details in public. Second Degree Arson Charged To Jeen-Agers Albany, Ore.

Right now we are some 20,000 feet above sea level, cruising over the east ern Nevada sagebrush. From the window of our TWA airliner I can make out a tiny cluster of buildings far below and off to the right. A town, probably, judging from the ribbon of road running through it. To the east, some 160 miles away, says the pilot, is the sawtooth edge of the Rockies coming into view. As we sweep above the peaks of the great mountain chain I am reminded again of how the climate of the world climbs up the mountain sides as well as up the face of the globe toward the pole. In the climate's vertical range up a mountain there are definite boundaries for plant apd animal life; For example, only on the higher peaks of the Rockies and others of the world's highest mountains are certain lichens found a plant that may have a life span of 1,000 years. And in some of the depths of the Colorado's Canyon, as it cuts through the Rocky Mountain chain, the climate is almost tropical. POWERED 18" SAVAGE ROTARY Wa H.P.

As the moun tains fall away behind us and we fly out over the great cen tral basin of the country, I can see quite clearly where the Platte River once altered its course. Where once it cut across the country in a wide, sweeping curve, it now makes two huge bends. The color of the ground in the curve is as different from that on either side as ploughed land from green. Maybe an earthquake caused the river to alter its course, but more likely the change was due to a combina tion of two factors: a great flood and a solid rock bottom of the old bed. A great flood would not dig a deeper channel in such a case. Instead, it would break through the banks in a weak spot, and cut through the soft er land until the water found its way back to the river's usual course by taking the way of least resistance.
