Rep. Porter In Effort To Improve By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Rep. Charles O. Porter (D.-Ore.) has been invited by official and private groups to make a quick trip to Venezuela, scene of riots against Vice President i Nixon, in an effort to im- iprove rela- ' tions between 2 . . the two coun I tries. The invita- A. Robt. smith tion. Porter explained, came from a repre sentative of a society of Vene zuelan newspapermen. It was supported by Venezuela's am bassador to the TIniteH Statps Hector Santa Ella. Porter said he plans to accept and to fly to mat South American coun try for a week end in mid June. Congressman Porter has been an advocate of a policy by the United States toward Latin America which would express support for democrat- mm YV 1 LAX Morse, Neuberger Join Request for Expanded Program Washington (W Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger have joined -with Oregon's three Democratic representatives in calling for a "greatly expanded" water development program in the state. ' In testimony before the Sen ate public works subcommit tee, the two senators and Reps. Edith Green, Al Ullman and Charles O. Porter made a combined plea for an increase of nearly $20 million in ap propriations for Corps of En gineers and Reclamation Bu reau projects in Oregon. The appropriations would . be for the fiscal year starting July 1 "It is a sad but true fact that Oregon is one of the states hit hardest by the cur rent recession," Morse said. He said the "most significant" contribution the federal gov ernment could make toward easing unemployment in the state would be an "expanded and accelerated public works program." Neuberger said a stepped up public works program dur ing the next fiscal year could "provide the impetus neces sary to revive the . economy and restore individual pur chasing power." All five legislators asked Congress to appropriate $10 million for work on John Day ?M Carpini, "7 'I'JSTVE foe -CV ,f Europe! ft J W Count on Kelthane to kill mites and prove to yourself the truth of this statement: "With Kelthane, you get low-cost and the best mite control."

Venezuela recently de posed its military dictator, Perez Jiminez, who is now exiled in Miami. "I'm going down because I believe my visit will help our relations with Venezuela," explained Porter. "I'm told this by their ambassador, by the journalists and by our State department." May Undo Harm Porter two weeks ago was featured in the Latin Ameri can edition of Life magazine as "the congressman from Latin America" because of his interest in Latin affairs since the disappearance in Decem ber, 1956, of Gerald Lester Murphy, Eugene flier, who was employed by the dictator ship of the Dominican repub lic. "Perhaps I can undo some the harm done by the Nixon episode," said Porter. "I don't blame Nixon. I'm glad he went. But I think both gov ernments misgauged the sit uation. Nixon was a symbol lock and dam during fiscal 1959, a project for which the administration asked $8 mil lion. They asked for $14,200,000 for The Dalles lock and dam, for which the administration requested $13,500,000. The Oregonians also told the subcommittee they recom mended a $2 million appro priation for the proposed Green Peter reservoir, for which the President's budget asked only $310,000 in plan ning funds and nothing in con struction money. ' On other projects, the dele gates asked for these amounts (administration requests in parentheses): Willamette river bank pro tection, $600,000 ($500,000); Bonneville dam, $2,004,500 ($1,433,000); Columbia river at the mouth $2,250,000 ($700,000); Columbia river channel, Vancouver, Wash., to The Dalles, Ore., $1,503,000 ($500,000); Columbia and Lower Willamette rivers, $4, 289,000 ($2,100,000), Rogue river, Talent division, $12,000- 000 ($9,500,000), and Rogue river at Gold Beach, $1,500, 000 (nothing). In addition, the Democratic delegation requested funds for a number of smaller projects which were not included at all in the President's budget. A Clover Two '.vJ )) . 1. -mm!)

I think I'm a symbol of what they want our policy to be.' Porter explained that U.S. officials engaged in "unneces sary fraternization" with the Venezuelan dictator and his security chief, Pedro Etrada. He recalled that both Jiminez and Estrada were given med als of honor by the American government, and that Jiminez was once made an honorary commander of the U.S. sub fleet. Sympathetic Attention Porter said he didn't think good relations with Latin countries were dependent on "billions in foreign aid "It's more a matter of sym pathetic attention, said Por ter, who has been favorably received in trips to Colombia, Honduras, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. - . " "Because of our indiffer ence, they get pretty cynical, and that's why Nixon got stoned and spat upon. There was an element of Communist inspiration, but the Commu nists had to have something to get people worked up with," Porter said. The 4th district representa tive said he has urged. Sen. Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.) to ask Nixon to come before the Latin American subcommittee of Foreign Relations of which Morse is chairman to go into the question of our policy. Accompanying Porter , on this trip will be Mrs. Porter. No Marines "I intend to take no Ma rines with me," he quipped. "Nor will I need any." Porter was responsible for another attack on the Domini can government this week during the foreign aid debate in the House, when he sug gested that the U.S. might be better off giving funds ear marked for the Dominicans directly to movie stars Kim Novak and Zsa Zsa Gabor, who were recent recipients of furs and fancy autos from the son of the Dominican dicta tor, Raphael Trujillo. Rep. Wayne Hays (D.-Ohio) took up the approach of Por ter to bar foreign aid to Tru jillo, but the House defeated it 79-32. That's closer than a year ago when Porter started his anti-Trujillo campaign and was swamped when he offer ed the same proposal as a rid er on the foreign aid bill. Trujillo, who was believed responsible for the death of Gerald Murphy, is one of the last two remaining dictators in Latin America, along with Batista of , Cuba. Those who have fallen in the past year or so include Jimenez in Ven ezuela, Rojas Pinia in Colom bia, and Peron in Argentina. Begin your Kelthane program as soon a mites start to build up.

A few examples: 1. A professor tried to traM his jackass to get along without eating, by gradually cutting down on bis feed. When the animal dropped dead ef starvation, he said, "An irreplaceable loss! Just when he had learned not to eat, he died." 2. A professor met a friend hart Hiorf " 'TW vnn cm I'm " alive," smiled the friend. "Impossible," decided the professor. "The man who told me is much more reliable than you are." 3. A braggart in' a crowded marketplace saw his neighbor, just in from the country, and cried, "Hello! How goes it on my great sheep ranch?" The neighbor cried back, "When I left, one sheep was lying down, the other one was standing up." 1958, by Bennett Cert.

Pineapple Industry Founder Succumbs Honolulu 0PI James Drummond Dole, founder of Hawaii's pineapple industry, died of a heart attack Wed nesday in his Manoa Valley home. He was 80. A native of Boston, Dole came to Hawaii after graduat ing from Harvard University in 1899. At age of 24, he open ed a small plant near Hono lulu and announced he would put canned pineapple on the shelves of every grocery store in the nation. He borrowed $20,000 in San Francisco and. planted 75,000 small pineapple plants on 12 acres. His success was immediate. In the 1920s, Dole bought the entire island of Lonai, 60 miles from Honolulu, and turned its 13,000 acres of wasteland into a rich pineap ple producing region. tag SEE OUR METAL ROLL-UP AWNINGS FREE ESTIMATES WITHOUT OBLIGATIONS!

'.From time to time these have had their impact on the prices of steel shares on the stock market. But there hasn't been any wil.' rush to buy the steels be cause many expect the event; ual recovery may be a slow one. . Even this is contradicted. A sudden spurt in demand, a steels mill official recently told Iron Age, may catch a steel plant unable to make delivery. The result may be loss of the order, and a sud den move toward building up more inventory to prevent re currence of such order loss. Could Cause Rise Much move, Iron Age says, could send steel operations up 10 points in the next six to eight weeks. ' Steel mill operations have been rising steadily for three weeks now. One thing the steel compan ies aren't too happy about is the fact that there hasn't been a rush to stock up on steel since there is a prospect of a price rise when labor costs go up on July 1. There has been a slow pick up which has pleased many of the experts. The steel inventory picture is said to be a good one just now. Iron Age says steel stocks in the hands of metal working companies may be approaching the danger point. The current Fitch Survey says tLe steel outlook still is clouded but it finds several factors which lighten the gloom. These are: Reports Favorable 1. The break-even point of steel companies with a fair degree of integration is under 50 per cent of capacity. Thus, it notes, with any step-up in production levels, earnings could show a .rapid accelera tion. ', - 2. There have been reports the auto industry, a major steel consumer, may .begin showing 1959 models as early as September. This could re sult in a good acceptance of the models and bring a spurt in steel demand. 3. The railroad industry, which has been deferring equipment purchases, m a y get government aid that will bring it into the market again, thus aiding the steel compan ies and the makers of railroad equipment.' . 4. Another bright note is the improving rate of activity in building, and the prospect of increased road building with the coming of good weather. Fitch suggests avoiding in discriminate buying of steel shares. It urged concentration on companies whose past per formance has been above par, and which could continue to forge ahead in the face of trade difficulties. .
