Quotes From the News
By United Press International
Des Moines, Iowa-National Chairman Meade Alcorn,
commenting on his party's plans for a year-round campaign
program to answer the challenge of labor help to the Demo
crats: "We're not going to be able to match that, but we need
more staff to work full time. We oppose an army of full
time troops with volunteers working only two months."
Montreal, Que.-Construction executive R. G. Johnson, on
the necessity of limiting construction activities at the Church
ill, Manitoba, air base to daylight hours due to nocturnal
visits from polar bears:
' "Judging by progress reports, those polar bears don't
scare so easily. We've had to limit construction work to the
six-hour winter daylight period to be on the safe side."
New York-A Brooklyn grand jury presentment, in calling
for legislation which would permit New York school teachers
to paddle unruly students:
"This grand jury has found ample evidence showing a
direct connection between the namby-pamby attitude of the
educational hierarchy and the collapse of discipline in the
schools." ,
Washington-Vice President Richard M. Nixon, mourning
the death of movie producer Cecil B. DeMille:
'The world loses one of the truly great showmen of all
times. In his productions, he had the special talent of bring
ing to life both history and religion in a most meaningful
way. which has significantly increased the nation's under
standing of the events which shaped the early world."
Washington-Argentine President Arturo Frondizi, in a
warning to Americans not to ignore the economic poverty of
millions of Latin Americans:
'A stagnant and impoverished country cannot uphold
Democratic institutions. On the contrary, it is fertile soil for
anarchy and dictatorship."

America's Talking
Satellite Dead
Washington- (UPD -America's
Atlas talking satellite is dead.
The Defense Department
said the 4.4-ton Atlas with its
150 pounds of instruments
probably plunged back into
the atmosphere and burned up
over the Pacific sometime be
fore 7 a.m. (p.s.t.) Wednesday
after circling the earth for
more than 500 times.
The Smithsonian Astrophy
sical Laboratory at . Cam
bridge, Mass., said a fiery ob
ject was seen in the skies at
6:08 a.m. (p.s.t.) by the U.S.
Naval Base at Guam and by
the cruiser Rochester halfway
between Hawaii and Japan.
When the Atlas, the heav
iest satellite ever launched,
was blasted into orbit from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., Dec. 18,
scientists predicted it would
stay aloft 20 days. It actually
circled the globe 35 days.

Rep. Porter Better
Known To People
Of Latin America
By United Press International
Rep. Charles O. Porter
one of two congressmen visit
ing Cuba this week-is far
better known to the people
of many Latin-American coun
tries than to most people in
the United States outside of
Oregon's Fourth Congression
al District.
Porter in 1956 became the
first Democrat elected to Con
gress from that district in 75
years. He was reelected last
November despite complaints
from critics that he was pay
ing too much attention to
Latin - American affairs. He
countered that Oregon is part
of the world community and
it was his duty to take an
active interest in U. S. for-
Higher Budget
For Police Asked
Salem- (UPD -H. G. Maison,
state police superintendent,
has requested an increase of
about $900,000 in his 1959-61
budget appropriations.
Maison told a Joint Ways
and Means Subcommittee
Wednesday that money was
needed for additional police
service teletypes, a dozen
more employees, normal in
crease in operation costs, ex
pansion, and improvement of
radio equipment directed by
the Federal Communications
Commission.
Maison said new teletype
service was planned for As
toria, Bend, Eugene, Klamath
Falls and The Dalles.
Rep. Keith Skelton (D-Eu-gene)
said he has written to
Rep. Charles O. Porter asking
him to introduce a bill to re
imburse Oregon for increased
budget charges made neces
sary by a recent FCC ruling.
Skelton said the state police
budget was increased by a
change in FCC standards for
police boardcasts and "there
is no reason why the state
should be required to assume
the added burden of a tax in
crease which has been madp
necessary by a ruling of a fed
eral agency."
eign policy. Porter claims the
issue helped reelect him.
Porter, 39, looks more like
a young college professor than
the popular conception of a
congressman. He is baldish,
wears horn-rimmed glasses
and an eager, studious look.
Soon after his election to
Congress, he was plunged into
a controversy involving a
constituent - Gerald Lester
Murphy of Eugene, Ore., a
pilot for the Dominican Re
public Airlines who myster
iously disappeared in the
Dominican Republic.
Murphy's parents appealed
to Porter for help in finding
him. After investigation, Por
ter charged that Murphy was
slain by agents of the Trujillo
regime in the Dominican Re
public because he knew too
much about the disappearance
of. Jesus de Galindez, a Co
lumbia University professor
and foe of the Trujillo re
gime. Dominican strongman Ra
fael Trujillo hotly denied the
congressman's charges.
Hailed By Latins
The controversy catapulted
Porter into prominence in
Latin America. Porter began
a series of attacks on U. S.
policy' toward Latin-American
dictators. He charged that the
United States was "patting
dictators on the head" and
should distinguish between
dictators and democracies.
He was hailed by some pro
democratic groups in Latin
America as their "champion"
spokesman in the United
States.
Not long after Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon was
stoned by agitator groups at
Caracas, Venezuelaj Porter
entered the city where he was
hailed by the provisional
Venezuelan president as "a
champion of democracy."
A native of Eugene, Ore.,
Porter was graduated with
honors from Harvard Uni
versity. He served four years
in the Air Force during World
War II, rising to the rank of
captain. Then he returned to
Harvard and got a law degree
in 1947. He practiced law at
Eugene, Ore.
He is married and has four
children.
