(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.

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

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.

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.

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

against sales to those under
18, and added that operators
kept a careful eye on the ma
chines to keep youngsters
away from them.

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.

Swindle Under
Grand Jury Probe
PortlandMUPJ-A Multnomah

a probe today into an alleged

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;

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.

Also expected to be called

a number of complaints were

they made payments ranging

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.
