Eoitti Parties Eye PoDStocaD Gaons (For Eisenhower's Use off Veto Power Washington-UPD - Will the " Democrats or the Republicans gain politically from President Eisenhower's stepped-up use of his veto porter? Lawmakers were turning their attention to that question today amid growing belief that Eisenhower next week will veto the far-reaching Demo cratic housing bill iw on his desk. Eisenhower last Thursday vetoed two billseone to tight en production , controls and raise price supports for wheat growers and another to re vamp price supports for to bacco. Soma Harm Seen Many Democrats claim, and some Republicans priv ately concede, that the what bill veto will hurt the Repub licans in Montana, the Da Sotas, Kansas and some other wheat-growing areas. Many democratic congress . men from big cities voted for 8 the price-boosting wheat bill. Republicans generally doubt ed it was the kind of issue that would sway votes of a large number of city consum ers into the GOP column at election-time. "But it'll hurt us in some wheat states" a GOP strategist conceded, "even though no body should have expected the President to sign a bill boost ing wheat supports back to ' 90 per cent of parity." On the other hand, Repub lican leaders were looking for ward eagerly to the anticipat ed presidential veto of the $1,375,400,000 housing bill. It is the first big welfare-spending bill approved by the heav ily'Democratic 86th Congress. Republicans were counting on a veto to dramatize their charges that Democrats are 'budget-busting spend thrifts." Gears Shifted Apparently fearful that this could mushroom into a major I860 election issue, Democ ratic leaders alreadyQ have shifted gears and steered Con gress along a more moderate course than anyone had an ticipated after the smashing Democratic election victory last November. Democratic leaders aren't eager for a housing veto. But they aren't apprehensive, eith er. They figured they blunted the spending issue in advance by scaling down , the housing bill to the point where-at least superficially - it carried a smaller price tag than the President's own- program. ' Actually, the bill would boost spending above levels recommended by Eisenhower. Expansion Planned at Oregon Caves vk i tiffilwL - .'.'VI .

The Oresoniaa . A program of revitalization Is in store for one of Oregon's lesser known yet awe-inspiring national preserves. The Oregon Caves National Monument, located in the southwestern corner of the state between Grants Pass and the California state line, is to be one cf the recipients of "Mission 66" funds which are to be used' in rehabilitating and expanding facilities in the national park system. To date, approximately J200, 700 has been reported to have been set aside under the "Mis- sion 66" program in the pres ent 480 acres of the Oregon Caves monument. Of course, this is ud to the Dresent ses sion of Congress, but the feel-J jng of federal legislators is said to be favorable in regard to the national park system. Eisenhower's program includ ed a six-year $1,450,000,000 slum clearance program. Dem ocrats cut the price tag on their program by providing only a two-year installment of S900.000.000 for slum clear ance, with the expectation They'll Do It Every Jeqwmernniovs every body AT THE LOCAL I4NIPE AHO PORK BY DEMANDING TO HAVE THE BALL GAME ON TV DUTATTHE BALL PARK HE'S EATING STANDING UP DURING THE WHOLE GAME TUAftK ANOA TIP OP TUB HA7U HAT 70 OOHM MATTHEWS, SZPQUETTB, MICH. Vending Machine Agency Explained at Vending machine operations are far from the realms of racketeers, according to Fred Conrad, operator of Rogue Valley Vending service here. But selling the machines themselves provides an un fortunately rich field for fast buck artists, Conrad said. Prospective operators often fall prey -to swindlers who promise them quick profits while selling them inferior equipment, he told a Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable audience. Cosily Investment Operating vending machines is "not a ' get - rich - quick scheme,' Conrad said. He ex plained that costly capital in vestments and a narrow profit margin mean an operator must carry on for some time before crossing, into the black. 'However,, he continued, dupesters seek through tantal izing advertising and high pressure sales talks to per And, the size of the Oregon Caves monument could ex pand. Late in the last session of Congress, Rep. Charles Por ter, Eugene, 4th district congressman, introduced a bill providing for transfer of land from the adjacent Siski you National Forest to a total of 2,910 acres under the control of the park service. This piece of legislation did not corns up for a vote and thus died with the close of Con gress in September. However, it probably wQl be introduced again and there should be no opposition. In spite of the fact that all funds have yet to be appro priated, it was discovered m a trip to the Oregon Caves in an Oregon Motor Assn. (AAA) station wagon that "Mission 66" work has already started. The surveyors had just de parted after sighting areas for expansion of parking facilities. Parking Area Needed ' : Parking certainly has been one of the major problems for the park service at this na tional monument It was a busy Sunday, and our station r.,i 8 r t .... ..tmrjg.'r that additional funds would be provided two years from now.

Kin Roundtable suade people that they can ex pect fantastic returns- from a vending machine route. . Conrad said that he himself or one of his two employees automatically answer all ads appearing locally, in order to keep tabs on fradulent activi ties. He urged anyone interest ed in embarking on vending machine operations to check first with the chamber of com merce. On the subject of machine prices, Conrad reported that a cigarette . machine costs $350 or more, a candy machine $400 to $600 and a coffee ma chine from $900 to $1,800. Jukebox Probe Basing part of his discussion on a "speaker's kit" supplied by the National Automatic Merchandising a s s b c iation, Conrad stated that the Mc Clellan committee's probe of jukebox racketeering had cast an unwarranted shadow of su specion on legitimate coin-op- wagon couldn't even get into the public parking area. It was necessary to utilize the side of the narrow, twisting ap proach road from Cave Junc tion, Oregon State Highway 48. Construction of a new resi dence for the park ranger also has been approved, reports Tom Williams, Medford, super intendent of Crater Lake Na tional Park and the Oregon Caves National Monument. All of these items certainly will enhance an area filled with natural beauty. Caves Main Attraction The big attraction at the Ore gon Caves National monument, of course, is the caves them selves, a series of limestone caverns filled with unique for mations and spectacular stal alactites and stalagmites. The visitor, travels through such rooms in the caves as "The King's Palace," the. "Wig wam," the "Ghost Chamber" and 'Taradis Lost." The trip , is .made through winding corridors within the heart of one of the Siskiyou peaks and a climb of 218 feet is made from the entrance to lic housing, which Republic ans said could range over the next 40 years anywhere from $875,000,000 to $3,700,000,000. Republicans are counting on Eisenhower to make these points clear to the voters in the expected veto message. By Jimmy Hatlo YOUR SlODOWM, OL.' MAN BUM.'

The case was being forwarded to a military review board in Washington. erated machines. Asked about the fact that youngsters under 18 can buy cigarettes' from vending ma chines despite an Oregon law prohititing such sales, Conrad stated he thought at least as many cigarettes were sold to youngsters over the .counter. He said most cigarette ma chines had signs warning against sales to those under 18, and added that operators kept a careful eye on the ma chines to keep youngsters away from them. the exit. It's a pleasant junket in the summertime, for the temperature remains a con stant 48 degrees. The caves were said to have been discovered in 1874 by Eli jah Davidson, who, while on a hunting expedition, followed a wounded bsar into the cav erns. Then the exploration of this natural phenomena began, a project which has yet to be completed. . Joaquin Miller Visits In 1907, the caves were vis ited by the poet Joaquin Mil ler and he did much to publi cize their beauty. The national monument was created in 1909. However, visitation was slow; until 1922 when a paved road was laid from U.S. 199 at Cave1 Junction to the cavern area. Commercial develop ment started in 1923 when a group of Grants Pass business men formed the Oregon Caves Co. to operate concessions for the National Park Service. To-I day this company continues to) provide accommodations ion the traveler. In fact, four of the original stockholders, A. E. Voorhies, L. M. Mitchell and Sam Baker, Grants Pass, and Dr. Ralph Stearns, Klamath Falls, main-j tain their interest. The man-1 ager for the company, Georgei Sabin, is the son of the original manager, Richard saoin. The Oregon Caves Co. has erected two large hostelries with a rustic tone in keeping with the impression of wilder ness in the monument area. A chateau, six stories high with a timberlinelike marble fire place nestled against the mountainside, was erected in 1934, and a three-story chalet which includes a souvenir shop was built in 194L In addition, there are seven cottages lo cated in a grove of towering Douglas firs. The Oregon caves co., iacea with the problem of increasing costs, mainly for food, has a few ideas of its own for im provements in addition to those GRANTS PfiSSjJ TO CAVES CITY - Centennial Ad Swindle Under Grand Jury Probe PortlandMUPJ-A Multnomah county grand jury launched a probe today into an alleged $26,000 Centennial advertis ing swindle. Deputy Multnomah county District Attorney Oscar How lett said the alleged swindle involved paid advertising in an Oregon Centennial sou venir publication that appar ently was never printed. . First of the 40 to 60 wit nesses expected to be called were former Gov Robert D. Holmes and Anthony Bran; delthaler, chairman of the Oregon Centennial Commis sion. ".. Holmes Declined - Howlett said Holmes was asked to testify in regard to effort by a pair of promotors to get him to sanction the proposed publication. Holmes declined and turned the mat ter over to the Centennial commission. Brtfndent h a 1 e r said the commission turned down the proposal and would not permit the promotors to use the. word Centennial or the official Exposition seal in connection with it. . The district attorney's of fice received the case from U. S. Postal authorities. ! BBB Man To Be Called Also expected to be called to. testify was Robert ; H. Blyth, Portland, Better Busi ness Bureau manager. He said a number of complaints were filed by businessmen who said they made payments ranging from $5 to $750 for advertise ments in the proposed sou venir booklet but got nothing for their money. Hawaii Island Rejects Statehood Honolulu-fllPB-The tiny, Iso lated island of Niihau . was heard from Monday-and its residents showed conclusively that not everybody in the Hawaiian Islands wants state hood. 'The island's 88 votes-cast Saturday-arrived at the coun ty seat Monday by slow boat. They were four to one against all three proposals on the Statehood ballot. . - The island is privately-owned and populated ' almost en tirely by .pure Hawaiians. They not only rejected state hood, but abstained from vot ing for any federal offices.1 The comparative handful of votes-always stubbornly and unanimously Republican-will do little to; change the general opinion of Hawaii about state hood. The final count in Satur day's plebiscite gave state hood the "yes" margin by al most 18 to 1. One-a-DayWonders Snowflakes i n summer! Use this trio as a dresser set, on trays, or separately.
