6 MAII. TRIBUNE. Medford, Ore., President Believes Steel Industry Can Avoid Price Boost (Continued from pag 1) President Eisenhower said he thought the steel industry could avoid a price increase this year if the steel workers held their new wage demands to a level measured solely by increased productivity. -He reported that cancer stricken Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was re acting remarkably to radia tion therapy, according to medical reports received by the White House. Eisenhower said the doctors were quite pleased to date. Able to Make Decisions -Eisenhower said that while it was quite natural for the chiefs of the armed services to disagree among themselves on the necessity of higher de- Landon Sees Threat To Peace Topeka, Kan. - (UPD - Alf Landon, former Republican presidential nominee, termed the Berlin crisis the most ser ious threat to world peace in a decade Tuesday night, and urged the free world to hold fast to its foothold there. "We have seen so many crises in the past 10 years that people find themselves under the spell of the old fable where the boy cried wolf, wolf, too often'," he told a Scottish Rite dinner. "But this is it," . Landon stressed. "All questions on the eco nomic front are actually some what academic until the pol itical or military decisions are made on Berlin," Landon said. "Other crises precipitated by Stalin and Khrushchev have been on the periphery of the free peoples. This one Involves the heart of Eur ope." Landon, a former Kansas governor, was the Republican nominee for president in 1936. Bedford, Va. -0JPD Dr. Rob ert S. Barrett, 81, former grand exalted ruler of the Elks, died Tuesday after a short illness. The rock in the Palisades on the Hudson river has been estimated to be 150,000,000 years old.

Almost dis gustedly, the President dis missed as demogogic talk cer tain oratorical claims for spe cific weapons. He said much talk ignored the vital need for a balanced approach to de fense. Decries Tariff Increase -He warned against tam pering with the reciprocal trade program, and said it would be a grave mistake if the United States gave way to increasing tariffs all along the line. -He announced that Presi dent Adolfo Lopez Mateos of Mexico, his recent host in Acapulco, had accepted his invitation to visit the United States sometime in the spring. The President's discussion of the profit system was touched off by a reporter who pointed out that Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) had pro posed that the steel industry forego a price increase this summer' if the steel workers limit their wage demands to an average based on increased productivity. Eisenhower said he was un able to discuss Kefauver's spe cific proposal but that he, himself, had always thought that wage boosts would be measured by productivity. Ike Warms Up Wage increases of this type, he said, should not be infla tionary and he thought it was possible for the steel com panies to avoid hiking prices if a wage increase was mea sured simply by production. Then the President warmed to his subject. He said Ameri cans should not be so prone to decry profits in our econ omy because profits are the basis for the entire tax struc ture. He said the people have come to expect a tremendous ly broad range of services from government and these must be ' paid for largely through taxation of profits. He said if profits are driven down to zero, then the nation inevitably would have to find some other way to run and finance the federal govern ment. 1 FIVE-CAR CRASH Seven persons were killed in .a five-car smashup that occurred during a blinding rainstorm on Highway 101 near Oceanside, Calif.' Unidentified Tots To Teens Store Remodeled Remodeling of the Tots To Teens shop at 105 East Main st. was completed last week and is now open with expand ed lines of merchandise, Mr. and Mrs. Parker Woods, co owners, have reported. Fixtures have been rear ranged and new ones added to give more display and coun ter space, Woods said. The new fixtures have been built up from the floor with wrought-iron legs and glass shelves have been placed above the counters to display twice as much merchandise in the same space, he said. The back will has been re moved from the display win dow so the public can have a good view of the redecorated interior now in pastel colors of green and pink and the "tied-in" fixtures on walls and floor. Peg-board displays have been added to give the store interior a practical, mod ern look. The additional display space is carrying larger selections of popular lines such as Jody dresses, Jane Durain, White Stag and other articles . of well-known mainufacturers. The store opened at its pres tnt location about 12 years ago and has been enlarged to keep up with the growth in population, especially that of school-age youngsters, Wood said. '' ' jfi ( Russian Attitude On Summit Meeting Rapped by President (Continued from Page 1) Eisenhower said Khrush chev's stubborn attitude had been well known all along but seems to have been em phasized right at this time when Macmillan is visiting in Moscow in an effort to create an atmosphere in which ne gotiations would be possible. This development, the Pres ident said, clearly is not hope ful. He said the United Slates must always be willing to ne gotiate if there appears to be any reasonable hope for ac complishment. But he said if there is a negative answer from the Russians before ,: an attempt is made to negotiate, he simply cannot see much use in conferences. Not Much Promise If the Russians continue to show this attitude, Eisenhow er said, the future for negoti ations does not seem to hold ipuch promise. boviet refusals on some Bill Enables Reporters To Withhold Source Salem -(UPD A three-hour hearing on a bill giving news paper, radio and television re porters the right to withhold names of their news sources was held Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would add report ers to a list of persons legally entitled to confidential com munication such as doctors and patients, attorneys and clients and husband and wife. The bill was supported by the Portland Newspaper Guild. Opposition came from the American Civil Liberties Un ion of Oregon which said the bill was an encouragement to the "faceless accuser" and an "interference with due pro cess of law." Need Regulating The ACLU charged the bill seeks to "prevent the dis closure of relevant and perti nent evidence in judicial pro ceedings and does not regu late the reporter as well as the reaerai government is now regulated in regard to confi dential communications. Rep. George Van Hoomis- sen (D-Portland), one of the bill's sponsors, said he thought it was "sound public policy" to give reporters the right to withhold names of their con fidential news sources. Robert L. Shults, president of the Portland Newspaper Guild, testified that reporters now could be "booby-trapped" by being called as witnesses on the basis of stories they wrote for their employers. Libel Mentioned "The reporter then must lose his journalistic stature by telling the names of his sources or suffer a term in jail," Shults said. Henry Kane, chairman of the Guild's freedom of infor mation committee, said that the bill would not interfere with the basic law of libel. If a person is libeled, he may still sue both newspaper and reporter, Kane said. The Judiciary Committee was particularly interested in the libel question. Man Killed When Hit by Grain Truck Portland-flJPB-A man iden tified by a card found in his pocket as Mathew Paul Quick bear, 27, was injured fatally Tuesday afternoon when hit by a grain truck here. Driver of the truck was Gene Muller, 30, Albany. He told officers that the man, an Indian, ran in front of his vehicle. woman in foreground kneels by blanket covered body of one of the victims. Five others were injured, four of them critically. points have seemed so illogi cal that they do not promise much in the way of hopes for establishing a just peace, the President said. However, the United States and its Allies must be alert to negotiate when there is some promise of achieving peace through talks, just as the Western pow ers must be very strong in opposing any Russian efforts to divide them. i The President recalled that it finally was possible to per- i suade the Russians to nego-1 tiate an Austrian peace treaty, i And down through the years, he said, the Reds have made other concessions, but they certainly come rarely. Constitutional Difficulties When asked whether he saw any reason to agree to a sum mit conference after Khrush chev's tough speech Tuesday, the President began by recall ing that there were consti tutional difficulties which dis couraged the President from going abroad at this time. However, he continued, there was, on top of this, a great psychological difficulty because when the people of the world knew there was to be a summit conference, they would expect some results. Feelings of pessimism and hopelessness would increase if such a top level meeting accomplished nothing. He re called that the Geneva sum mit conference in 1955 creat ed what looked like a good spirit, but when the foreign ministers of the various coun tries later tried to work out specific agreements they got exactly' zero. It would be a very grave mistake to go to a summit conference without adequate preparation to insure some possibility of a successful meeting, the President con cluded. Khrushchev's rejection of the Western proposal for a foreign minister's conference on Berlin lent urgency to al lied planning to meet a pos sible blockade of Berlin. Bill Would Permit Court Photography Salem - (UPD - Rep. Carl Fisher (R-Eugene) and Pat Metke (R-Bend) have intro duced a bill in the House which would permit the pro ceedings of a public meeting, including court trials, to be "photographed, recorded, broadcast, televised or report ed." The bill contains a pro vision that the chairman or duly authorized presiding of ficer of any public body be empowered to prescribe "rea sonable" rules of decorum for representatives of radio, TV or newspapers. If decorum was not pre served, the presiding officer could refuse the news repre sentative admittance. Although the Metke-Fisher bill does not specifically men tion it, the measure would, in effect, outlaw canon 35 of the code of ethics of the Ameri-1 can Bar association which! strongly suggests that photog- j raphy or radio broadcasting not be permitted in court rooms. Phone SP 3-4293 DAILY'S U-DRIVE Medford Airport Battle of Budget Centers on Housing, Depressed Area Acts Washington -(UPD- The bat tle of the budget centered to day in two congressional com mittees where Democrats ex pected to gain approval of administration-opposed housing and depressed area bills. The House Banking commit tee planned a showdown vote on a $2,100,000,000 Democra tic housing bill - 450 million more than President Eisen hower has recommended. The measure would expand federally-subsidized public housing and provide federal grants for slum clearance. Outnumbered Republicans had no real hope of success in offering the President's bill as a substitute before the final vote. Variety of Bills The Senate production and stabilization subcommittee be gan hearings on a variety of bills to pump economic life in to depressed areas. Democrats want to spend $275 million for the program. The administra tion wants to hold expenditur es to S58 million in loans and grants. Subcommittee C h a i rman Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.), said Democrats would carry their fight to the people if the Presi ident again vetoes their bill to aid areas of chronic unemploy ment. House Republicans at a cau cus late Tuesday passed a res olution promising that the GOP would develop proposals to cut spending and would op pose "extravagant new spend ing schemes which can lead only to national disaster."

Democrats: Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.), said a fel low Democrat's attack on Lyn don B. Johnson's Senate lead ership was made "in very poor grace and with very little just ification." He said he did npt think the public criticism voic ed Monday by Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.), would pro duce "any great revolution" in Senate affairs. Taxes; Rep. John W. Byrnes (R-Wis.), said that a bill to give special tax relief to the self employed could lead to a $3 billion a year drain on tHe Treasury.
