Determination Reaffirmed Eisenhowe emphatically re affirmed the western allies' determination to remain in Berlin despite Russian efforts to force them out. He said, however, that there were a great many approaches which might ease the situation there, give some hope of increased stability and avoid the danger of constantly recurring crises.

Michigan Faces Payless Paydays For Lawmakers Lansing, Mich. -(DPI)- Gov. G. Mennen Williams drafted a timetable for state fiscal col lapse today after ordering payless paydays for lawmak ers and judges. The order followed an un expected decision by state Senate Republicans Tuesday to shelve a stop-gap plan to convert the veterans trust fund to cash. 'Lasting Damage' Seen "This will do incredible and lasting damage to the state," Williams said. "It is a disaster of the first magnitude." Williams scheduled a cabi net meeting today to formu late "an orderly program for the suspension of essential state obligations until such time as the legislature pro vides money to meet them." Williams halted processing of about 325 checks totaling more than $100,000 for the legislature, supreme and cir cuit courts. Wi ims said the 85,100,000 payroll scheduled May 7 for 28,000 other state employees, including himself, will not be met unless emergency funds are provided. The order came less than two hours after a GOP Senate caucus voted solidly to junk a plan to cash in the veterans trust fund. Use Tax Eyed A new bill will be substitut ed. It would tack a one-cent use tax on to the trust fund plan but May 11 is the ear liest it could clear the legisla ture. "It's our answer to both the immediate cash crisis and the long-range revenue problem," said Senate Majority Leader Frank D. Beadle. The governor was bitter. "The action of the Senate Republican caucus makes it clear that they are determined to have payless laydays and now they have their wish," Williams six-term Democrat ic governor, said. "In effect, they have de cided to let the State of Mich igan go down the drain." Grand Jury Study Of Death Proposed Portland- (UPD -A coroner's jury recommended Tuesday that the Multnomah county grand jury investigate the death of a 16-year-old boy at Jantzen beach park here April 10. Gary Seekins, Orchard, Wash., was killed when he pitched from the front seat of the Big Dipper ride and was crushed as the train passed over him. The coroner's jury heard from about 40 witnesses, some testifying that a safety bar in stalled on the Big Dipper was not functioning properly. District Attorney Charles Raymond said that if the grand jury should issue an indictment "it is presumed the charge would be invol untary manslaughter." The park is operated by the Hayden Island Amuse- Endurance Fliers Delayed at Klamath Klamath Falls (UPD Pilots Gene Tanner and Lew Becker of Seattle were delayed by ceiling zero weather early to day in their takeoff to try to break the 64-day endurance record for light planes. They hoped to take off about noon and head for Nevada. They were forced to land because of engine trou ble last week after more than 11 full days in the air. Their flight is supporting the drive for cancer funds. Bill Removes Limit Of Jurors on Panel Salem-(UPD-The limit of ap pointment of 40 jurors on a single panel is removed in House bill 653 passed by the Senate and sent the governor Tuesday. Under the bill, the numbers of jurors drawn on a panel can be determined by the judge. Morse Remark Feltlll-Advised But Only Human Washington -UPD- President Eisenhower said today he saw no reason why Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce should resign as the new U.S. ambassador to Brazil. , Eisenhower conceded at a news conference that Mrs. Luce's remark about Sen Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) Tues day following her Senate con firmation may have been ill advised. But he thought it was only human. Mrs. Luce remarked that her troubles with Morse "go some years back when Sen. Morse was kicked in the head by a horse." Morse had led a bitter, but futile attack, on Mrs. Luce's nomination. 1 Eisenhower revealed that, at his request, "a special check was made in Brazil Tuesday afternoon. He said this show ed that it was quite clear Mrs. Luce still would be welcome Washington - (IPI) - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) was kicked in the jaw by a horse in 1951 while he was attend ing a horse show in Orkney Springs. Va. Aides recalled that the kick, which featured in the acid exchange between Morse and Mrs. Clare Booth Luce Tuesday, fractured Morse's jaw. He was hos pitalized for several days but was not seriously in jured. Aides said Morse has been kidded about the incident several limes i n political campaigns. They said he al ways laughed off lhe barbs. as this country's envoy in Brazil. Therefore, he said, he saw no major impairment of her usefulness. Husband Urges Resignation Mrs. Luce's husband, maga ine publisher Henry R. Luce, had urged Tuesday night that his wife offer to resign in view of the attacks made on her in the Senate. Eisenhower said Mrs. Luce had submitted no resignation and, he had not been in direct contact with her since the Senate confirmation. In New York, a spokesman for Mrs. Luce said she had no comment to make on the Pres ident's statement at this time. Some senators who were pictured Tuesday night as ready to go on record against Mrs. Luce if she did not re sign had cooled down today. A reported move by some Democrats to o'ffera resolu tion expressing lack of confi dence in Mrs. Luce also ap peared to have been aban doned. No Resolution in Works ' Senate official sources said there was no resolution of criticism now in the works that they knew of. They said the President's news confer e n c e statement supporting Mrs. Luce increased the like lihood that any action would be dropped. To carry the fight further, it was said, might damage U. S. relations with Latin America without remov ing Mrs. Luce as ambassador to Brazil. The President also took the occasion to express puzzle ment over the delay in Senate confirmation of other admin istration appointees. He defended Lewis W. Airports Lacking Room for Runways Portland - (UPD - A New York port official said Tues day that "we have gone about as far as we can go in ex tension of runways." The comment came from Austin Tobin of the Port of New York at the annual con vention of Airport Operators' Council here. , Tobin said it was not only economically impractical, but physically impossible to ex tend runways in many cities. "At New York International we could go to 14,000 or 15,000 feet by building out into the bay. But the cost would be frightful," he said. Airport operators say their official policy is that airplanes must be restricted i to fit the runways. Spokesmen for aircraft manufacturers disagreed. Don Buck, of Boeing Airplane Company, Seattle, said such a policy would block further progress. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wednesday, April 29, 1959 Strauss, whose nomination as secretary of commerce has run into long delays in the Senate. Eisenhower said Strauss, former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, was one of the finest public servants he had ever known and that he knew nothing but the best about Strauss' hon esty, integrity and capability. Eisenhower said sternly that while he was not criticizing or attempting to evaluate the mo tives of senators, he himself saw no reason for delaying the confirmation of over 1,000 nominees. Eisenhower was asked, in view of Tuesday's uproar, whether Mrs. Luce should go on to her post in Brazil or follow the advice of her hus band and resign. Before an swering directly he traced her career as ambassador to Italy and said he had always known her as a dedicated, useful pub lic servant. Defends Horse Siaiement As for her remarks about Morse being kicked in the head by a horse, he said he was sure it was not meant as any disparagement of the sen ator. Rather, he said, it was a perfectly human remark made when she undoubtedly, felt heated on the subject. He suggested that she prob ably hoped such a remark would never get in print. But even if ill-advised, her remarks about Morse was hu man, the President said, and he saw no major impairment of her usefulness in Brazil. He pointed out that former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had suggested her ap pointment. He said that after her husband's Time magazine printed a story which was blamed ,for violence in Bo livia, she offered to have her nomination withdrawn. Here again, the President pointed out, was a case when the gov ernment did not think this was necessary because of senti ment in Brazil indicating she would be welcome as this na tion's envoy.

Bombers: A House appro priations subcommittee re leased Air Force testimony in dicating the B47 bomber has shortcomings which limit its usefulness as a defense weap on. The B47 constitutes three fourths of the Strategic Air Command. The Air Force made it clear that it favors the B52 bomber, which is superior to the B47 in struc tural characteristics and in fuel capacity. Wheat: A stop-gap bill aimed at cutting the nation's huge wheat surplus was ap proved by a House agriculture subcommittee. The measure would slash 1960-61 planting allotments by 20 per cent and raise price supports to 85 per cent of the "fair earning pow er" parity price for the two years. Veto: Republicans in the House were battling for votes to prevent Congress from overriding President Eisen hower's veto of a bill taking away Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson's authority over rural electrification loans. The Senate already has re-passed the bill by the neces sary two-thirds margin and a House vote was scheduled Thursday. Republican leaders were hopeful, but not certain, they could muster enough votes to keep the House from enacting the measure when the final showdown vote come Thurs day. A two-thirds vote of both Senate and House is necessary to override a veto. The Sen ate vote was 64 to 29. Two more than the minimum re quired. Six Republican sen ators deserted the President on the issue. Slap at Benson The significance of the issue which divided Congress along tivc Btmir y r "TH A PLYMOUTH CA party lines was more symbolic than real. Some members of both parties privately agreed it was mostly just a slap at JBenson.
