10MAiL TRIBUNE, MeaW, Or.., Wednesday, fefenjiry 18, ! Dulles Backed by Competent Echelon, President Declares (Continued from page 1) isennower said Dulles is backed up by a competent second echelon at the State Department. He said that as long as Dulles' heart and mind remained at the service of the American people, ne gotiation details were not de pendent on the secretary's condition. On the Berlin crisis itself, the President said that if there is any shooting on this issue it will be the Russians who start it. He said the U. S. and its allies are firmly determined to carry out their responsi bilities under 1949 agree ments for the independence and welfare of the people of West Berlin. If any force is used, the President said, it would have to be the Commu nists exercising it in an effort to block the allies from carry ing out their duty to the West Berliners. To Continue Supply The President made it clear that the U. S. and its allies intend to continue to supply Communist - encircled West Berlin even if the Russians go through with their threat to turn over to the East Ger mans by May 27 control of East Berlin and the access route to West Berlin. Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev said in a speech disclosed today that if the allies tried to shoot their way into Berlin, it would mean the beginning of war. Mo Talk of Shooting - Eisenhower told newsmen that the Russian leader must be talking about shooting to stop the U. S. because the western allies have not said anything about shooting their way into Berlin. In discussing Dulles' health, the President denied reports that the secretary tried to re sign last week after he learned that he had cancer again. Eisenhower said that as long as Dulles wants to carry on and believes he is in shape to carry on, he is the man the President wants. He said he has not had any specific discussions with anybody about a successor. Eisenhower emphasized that he would rather have a sick Dulles as secretary of state than anyone else he knew in good health. Karl Hayes Speaks At Lions Meeting Eagle Point - The need for training children who are re tarded below the public school level was stressed before the Eagle Point Lions by Karl Hayes, director of special edu cation for mentally retarded children. Hayes is affiliated with the Jackson county school super intendent's office, and appear ed as a guest speaker for the Lions Monday. He pointed out the need for training such children in the simple processes of living with each other and outlined the nature of the instruction employed and of the program in general. "Many children," he said, can be taught these things without the need to be in stitutionalized in the Fair- view home." He also pointed out how far the county has yet to go in meeting the whole need ade quately. Hayes gives a part of his time to instructional work in one of the two such groups being now trained at Talent.

Connie McDonough, Reporter By WILLIAM EWALD New York (DPD Strange things, hoo-hee, were hap pening in the CBS mail room last week: Ar thur Godfrey's morni n g TV show was pa pered under by its great est volume of mail in five years. The re- s p o n s e was triggered by William EwW five days of talk from comic Sam Leven son about today's teen-agers. "Teen age is the age of re volt. And some of them can be pretty revolting. . ." is the way Levenson uncorked his attack and from there he wept on to talk about such things as sexual activity, autos, eurfews, rock 'n' roll and lastx of parental discipline-Telescoped Talk Tuesday night, Levenson appeared on - the Godfrey nighttime show and tele scoped his five days of morn ing talk. I must confess I al most jumped ship at the start of the show when Godfrey leaned his face into my TV tube and leered something like: "How would you like to talk about sex ... teen-age sex . . . in automobiles ... However, Levenson sur vived that graceless introduc tion and went on to make some unieery talk aDoui early dating, early marriage and the teen-agers' worship of mediocrity and material things. Over his six sessions, Levenson has managed to fling out a fair quota of bon bons and I have collected a few: On revolt: "Teen-agers have a natural urge to' be different so they all dress alike. On autos: "This is a gener ation that's forgotten how to walk completely unless it's downhill." On sex and autos: "More girls have gotten into trouble in cars in America in the last 10 years than have gotten into trouble in bedrooms a hun dred years before ... I think more girls have been con verted in convertibles than any other place." On responsibility: "TV has a moral responsibility which it doesn't always adhere to The rock-and-roll musicians have a moral responsibility which they have junked com- jletely. The disk jockeys have a moral responsibility which I question sometimes. . Takes Courage On parents: "The parents have to have guts too to be parents. It takes a little cour age to face up to a kid who you know is wrong. Generally, Levenson, who taught school for 15 years and still lectures before par ent groups, favored less per missiveness and a stronger parental hand. And although this may seem like a rather oversimplified approach to a complex problem, at leasts it was voiced in strong terms over six shows on that great funnel of pap, TV. That viewers should re spond in such great numbers I look upon as heartening. It could be the programmers are wrong and that the TV aud ience wants not to belulled, but reminded that, after all, they are alive. President Says Federal Budget Can Be Balanced (Continued from Page 1) .President Eisenhower in sisted that with current pros perity, the federal budget could and should be balanced this year. He said he was looking forward to his visit with the President of Mexico in.Aca.- pulco. The President leaves this afternoon on this trip. Labor Legislation He reiterated his firm belief that legislation to ban so-called "blackmail picket ing" and secondary boycotts should be included in labor legislation passed by Con gress this year. Eisenhower's discussion of the unemployment situation was touched off by a reporter who pointed out that even with the economy on the rise, there still remained serious unemployment in some areas of the country. No Useful Purpose The reporters referred to a suggestion by Reuther that the unemployed of the nation march on Washington. The President also was asked whether he thought Congress should lengthen the period of unemployment compensation coverage as it did during the worst of the recession last year. The President answered first by expressing doubt that people on sunny beaches were about to march on foggy Washington. He added that he did not think a demonstration of this type would serve any useful purpose. Time Not Right And as for a new extension of the coverage period of un employment compensation benefits, Eisenhower said he thought this was no time for the fedral government to go barging into that now that the nation is in a period of rising prosperity.

Non-Surgical Method Cures Hemorrhoids Painlessly A relatively painless, non surgical method of treating hemorrhoids (piles) is work ing therapeutic miracles for thousands who suffer from rectal and colon disorders.

The timber committee of the Southern Oregon Conser vation and Tree Farm associ ation has been meeting regu larly in an effort to reach closer cooperation with gov ernmental agencies, Dick Swan, Medford, chairman of the group, reported at a meet ing of the association last night. Aim of the committee is to get out more of the dead and dying timber which can be utilized by the mills. This would relieve the pressure on the log demand, Swan said. Members of the committee, besides Swan, are Bud LeRoy, Medford; Ed Pease, Al Smith, Bob Kline, Steve Wilson and Duke McQueen, all of Med ford; Bob Kelso, Grants Pass, and Paul Workman, Ashland. Members of the county court have a standing invita tion to attend the meetings since 70 per cent of the county income comes from timber sales receipts, a committee spokesman estimated. Gives Service Tips Myron Savage, representa tive of Motorola Communica tions and Electronics, Inc., Portland, gave service tips to association members who be long to the group's mobile ra dio network. One of the main points, he said, is to have the, mobile radio installed in a truck or car by a competent technician. Excess cable should be elim inated since dangling cables contribute to the noise in transmitting and receiving. Radio interference should be eliminated further by having the car or truck engine well grounded to the frame A good solid, clean clamp on the battery helps maintain maximum voltage, Savage ad vised. One volt lost at the connection with the battery means a loss of 50 volts at the other end, he said. The battery should be kept clean, and full of water and the clamps clean, he said. The radio antenna should be mounted at the highest point on the vehicle to produce the maximum signal. The co axial cable should be kept out of the way where it won't be stepped on and sharp bends in it should be prevented. The unit should be checked regularly since tne real ex pense is not so much as in repairs but not having the set in operation when needed, Savage concluded. FOOD FOR THOUGHT Grand Ledge, Mich.
