Bock Stairs: Administration Villain By MERPIAM SMITH UPI Whiia House Reporter Washington-diPD-Back stairs at the White House: Jim Hagerty, President Ei senhower's press secretary, may end up as a deep-dyed vil lain of this administration-if he continues to attract atten tion of passing magazine writ ers whose knowledge of the White House tends to be third or fourth hand. . Jim currently is a pretty dangerous fellow in Esquire magazine. Esquire .flogs old Jim with vigor, but its whip seems to break repeatedly Without doubt, Hagerty has his faults and drawbacks but the magazine makes the whole thing a bit ridiculous by call' ing him "dangerous." Hardly Dangerous Hagerty may be annoying and, at times, officious, but hardly dangerous. There have been occasions when he threw all sorts of roadblacks be tween some fairly high mem bers of the White House staff, But at heart, Jim knew tactics like this were bound to lose in the long run. Army, Air Force Missiles Criticized By Navy Witness Washington-(DPD-The grow ing battle over continental air defense systems was heighten ed Monday by Navy criticism of both the Army and Air Force anti-aircraft missiles. A House appropriations sub committee made public testi mony by a top Navy witness, Wall Sttireet Chatter " New York -UPD- The fact that god news brings immed iate strength to a broad seg ment of stocks indicates there is still basic firmness to the market, according to the Fitch Survey. It adds that momentum on the upside will not be de terred for long. Investors Advisory Insti tute notes that one after an other issues which have been comparatively quiet for sev eral months while speculative Honor Society Taps Two at Jacksonville Jacksonville-Two Jackson ville High school students were accepted into the Na tional Honor society in a cere mony which preceded the school's annual award assem bly May 22. They were Rita McBeth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McBeth, and Wayne Cabler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cabler. With the induction of these two students, the number ad mitted to the chapter since its chartering in 1957 is 27. Members-elect were tapped from the audience by senior members, Toni Tweedy and Janet Stewart, and presented to the president Lynne Smith. They were then instructed in the precepts of the society: character, Ed Graham; schol arship, Janet Hueners; leader ship, Gary Brown; and serv ice, Marlys Brown. -The pledge of membership was given by senior member, Nancy Niedermeyer, followed by the presentation of em blems and membership cer tificates and cards by Joyce Hawkins. Miss Niedermeyer is a char ter member and has been a continuous member since that time. She served as president of the chapter during her jun ior year. Members of the chapter served as ushers for the school play, "January Thaw," which was given May 15. interest was concentrated elsewhere, have edged up ward with increased volume. Hence, it says, it seems wise to confine new purchases to stocks which fit this descrip tion, provided there is a good earnings outlook for them. , Walston & Co. finds that Westinghouse Electric still ap pears to be priced at a low level in relation to General Electric. Estimated earnings for 1959 are projected at $4.75 per common share which marks the stock at some 19 times earnings. GE is selling at 27 times projected earnings of $3. Birstol-Myers is the new stock for action of Standard & Poor's. It notes that at cur rent levels the shares appear to be giving little, if any, premium to the possibilities of new developments in Syn thetic Penicillin which might add some $2 to $3 a share to earnings. International Statistical Bu reau advises taking profits in Mead Johnson and reinvest ing proceeds in Eli Lilly, Pfi zer or Johnson & Johnson. Alaska is the first state in the United States which does not touch another state. Commercial Zone Hearing in Salem Salem - (UFO - Establishment of a commercial zone adjacent to the city of Salem will be the subject of a Public Utili ty Commission hearing here Thursday, June 4. Pacific Inland Tariff Bu reau, Portland, initiated the petition before the PUC to set up territorial limits of the area and to determine rates, classifications, rules and regu lations to apply within the commercial zone. Portland is the only city in Oregon presently utilizing a commercial area to which city rate and charges apply. HIGH-POWERED BURNS Lexington, N.C. -flJPD- Tele phone company worker Dor man Loman was rushed to a hospital Monday after the line he was holding came in con tact with a 22,000-volt cable. He suffered serious burns all over his body. Staff Member Aver Schurman WEST MAIN AT SIXTH Conger-Morris "YOUR TV WEATHERMAN" KBES-TV MONDAY THRU FRIDAY 4:15 P.M. ASHLAND MORTUARY 4 .i c s.t. Ashland Member National Selected Morticians by Invitation who told Congress that $25 billion has been poured into a "fortress America" air defense network that soon will be obsolete as the French Mag- inot Line. Rear Adm. J. T. Hayward, assistant chief of naval opera tions, testified that in his opin ion no more money should be spent on the Air Force's Bo- marc anti-aircraft missile. He said the same reasoning ap plied for the Army's Nike- Hercules program. Hayward said the present air defense system didn't pro vide enough warning time to deter an emeny attack. Mod ern missile technology soon will outdate such a fixed warning and defense system he said. Offense Has Advantage The admiral's views receiv ed support Sunday from Sen. M. Jackson (D-Wash.), a mem ber of the Senate Armed Serv ices Committee The commit tee voted to cut $17,300,000 from te Army's $22,400,000 Nike Hercules . construction plans. . "Science has endowed the offense with a great advant age, ne saiar "Science can offer very lit tle aid and comfort to the peo ple who try to man defense. This makes all systems vul nerable from the standpoint of the offense." Jackson said Russia today has an air to surface missile that can outflank all Nike point defense systems. But he said the Russian manned bom ber would not be able to out flank Bomarc, which has a range of 200 to 400 miles. Jackson said experts have told him that the chances of trying to stop an all-out at tack on the United. States by Soviet bombers is very limit ed. . Reductions Ordered Jackson said that with the Nike system, stockpile of nu clear warheads would be lo cated in the heart of the cities. "In the case of a disaster, we might . . . lose the very area we are trying to defend," he said. Jackson said super sonic manned interceptors were the best means to fight any air battle away from U.S. cities. The House subcommittee is reported to have ordered dras tic reductions in spending on the Bomarc. The Defense. Department disclosed Saturday that it is rushing completion of the first "master plan" for defending U.S. targets against enemy air attack. The Defense Depart ment position presently is that both the Nike-Hercules and Bomarc systems are need ed for the nation's air defense. Sioux Indians Attack Wagons Bayard, Neb.-flJPD-Members of the Oregon Centennial wagon train were attacked by a screaming band of Sioux Indians Monday, were cap tured, smoked a peace pipe and topped off the day eat ing buffalo barbecue. The seven wagons camped near here Monday night and today pushed on toward Scotts Bluff, the last stop in Nebraska before headirig into Wyoming. The Indian attack occurred in a meadow near Chimney Rock. It was witnessed by about 7,000 local residents who gathered to await arrival of the wagons. One team of mules bolted when the attack came and nearly broke the encirclement of the wagons. The modern day pioneers were captured and taken to a council area where a peace pipe was pass ed around and tribal dances were given. The Bayard Chamber of Commerce treated the Fifty Niners to a buffalo barbecue supper before the tired wagon riders called it a day. LUCES TO VISIT BRAZIL New York-UPD-Clare Boothe Luce and her husband have accepted an invitation from Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitsheck to visit his coun try, it was disclosed Monday. Mrs. Luce recently resigned as ambassador to Brazil be cause of attacks on her by Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). Esquire tells about "a top Washington analysf'-presum-ably news and not psychiatric - who tried manfully for a month during the 1958 reces sion to get to see White House officials who were mapping the administration's economic moves. Poor fellow, according to the magazine, ran afoul of a black and evil wall of sil ence Hagerty threw around his staff. This is in truth a sad tale. This "top analyst" must have been a real sufferer because during the recession, the key economic officials on the White House staff held literal ly hundreds of interviews and background briefing for re porters, who came in indi vidually and in groups with out so much as nodding to Hagerty. 'Top Untold Story' . Esquire claims its piece about Hagerty is the "top un told story out of Washington." It may be right. For example, it rips aside the curtain of secrecy cover ing a clever Hagerty maneuver of keeping reporters around him happy by making sure that typewriters and tele phones are available" when the President is on the road. We don't know how Esquire does it, but most professional newspapermen carry their own typewriters and can man age finding their own tele phones. Disappointing but true this is the way White House reporters have to .struggle along, too; carrying their own typewriters, getting their own telephones. Pressure Brought Magazine: "Hagerty has con sistently refused to give out the names of the President's guestS at White House stag dinners." Facts: Complete stag dinner lists, sometimes two a week, were issued for the better part of two social seasons covering more than a year. Publication of the names brought so much pressure on the White House from unabashed American males who wanted to- be in vited, too, that Hagerty stop ped issuing the lists. Esquire's writer may be too young to know that Presidents Roosevelt and Truman" had scads of stag dinners without ever disclosing the simple fact the events were held, much less releasing names of the guests. Speeding Auto Crash Kills Five : r Malibu, Calif.-(UPD-A speed ing convertible roared down a twisting highway Monday night, spun out of control at a curve and smashed head-on into another car, pushing it backwards 42 feet.
