MeWS Conference HI DgfiaBSghts Highway Bid; Openings Delayed Washington -(CPU- Following ble each time they appro'ach are highlights of President Eisenhower's news conference tcxjay: SleI: He is reluctant to use the Taft-Hartley law in the . current strike because he does not believe the 80-day. "cool ing off" period that could be invoked under the statute - would result in the orodue ' tlon of much steel. His point is mat labor and management have both dug in for the strike and there remains noth ing to cool off. Until steel shortages produce a genuine national emergency, he wants the government to refrain as far as possible from anv ac tion that would impede free bargaining between the union : and the industry, - Budget: He is determined to produce a surplus of federal revenue over expenditures in fiscal 1960 even though high 1 er costs of production and services for the government and built-in increases in cer tain long-term "federal pro grams push federal spending from the estimated $77.1 bil lion for this fiscal year to the neighborhood of $80 billion next year. Politics: Unless the Repub licans show unexpected signs of selecting a candidate far to . the right or left of his middle- road policies of government, he is determined to keep quiet publicly and privately off the selection of a 1960 GOP presi dential nominee. He thinks that both Vice President Rich- ard M. Nixson and New York ' Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller fit well within his down the mid dle policies. Wants Healthy Economy Eisenhower regards many - widely different government problems of the moment; as tied into a central area of con- , cern-a healthy, economy as a . prime, factor - in our global striving for peace, and secu rity. ' He is consulting daily with secretary of Labor James P. . Mitchell, and frequently sev- x-erai times a. day, about; the steel strike. Eisenhower has been advised by his legal ex perts that under residual now- : ers left over from World War H and the Korean war, he has the right to allocate steel stocks vital to the govern ment, primarily in defense. Whether he uses the alloca tion powers depends on how .union-management bargaining efforts progress, the duration of the strike, and when pres ent steel inventories diminish to .the . point of hurting the nation. He has the same wait and see attitude toward use of Taft-Hartley, and has arrived at no rough deadline for in voking the 80-day, no-strike period. He feels that steel ; management made a sad erfor in the 1956 strike when it shot , up the price of steel more than $7 a ton without stop- , ping first to calculate the ac tual cost of a new wage in crease. He is confident steel will not make the same mis take this time and that management is quite aware of inflationary dangers, Reduction of Debt On the other hand, he re grets the fact that labor lead ers, much like politicians, are dependent on their- constitu ents, and thus try to get as much of a pay raise as possi- the bargaining table Eisenhower has been con ferring frequently and some times informally with Secre tary of Treasury Robert B. Anderson on what has become one of the President's major crusades-economy in govern ment and reduction of the fed eral debt. With space age hardware, ships, guns and many other items needed by Uncle Sam going up' in price after their construction and procurement is ordered by Congress,- the President realizes that even with a hoped-for1 surplus of $2 billion or better in fiscal 1961, the government will not be lowering the federal debt, but' actually keeping it from going higher. This will be sig nificant progress to Eisenhow er, and , a . long overdue step toward actual reduction of the debt. ' TJj J!Pf DECLARING THEY WILL WED anyway, Las Vegas ; Sheriff's Captain William O'Reilly expressed surprise at being dismissed by Clark. County Sheriff W. E. Leypoldt -"in the best interests- of the department." O'Reilly's fi ancee is Jackie - Winters,' 27-year-old reportedly" wealthy Las Vegas model. Sheriff objects to his .deputies marrying wealthy women and "coming to .work in Cadillacs." Eisenhower Effort by Russia To Divide Allies Washington -(UPD- President Eisenhower believes' the in creasingly tough Russian tac tics at Geneva involve an ef fort, to -split the United States and Great Britain, plus an over-riding Soviet fear of a resurgent Germany and a poweful Red China. The chief executive is deep ly concerned-even more pes simistic than he was a month ago-about the Russian road blocks to successful negotia tion at the Big Four Foreign Ministers Conference. Townsend Club Opens Convention Portland (UPD The annual : convention of Townsend Club .members opened here today with about 300 -delegates at tending. '. , On hand for the convention was . 93-year-old Dr. Francis Townsend who founded the movement for pensions for el derly people in the 1930s. - Dr. Townsend missed the opening of the convention. He was uptown Duying newJ frames for his glasses. His son, R. C. Townsend, was i temporary chairman. . I Dr. Townsend said his 'movement helped the social security system. But he added ithat "millions of old people ,who have given 40 or 50 years service to the nation still find : themselves stranded in then old age, because of sickness or other causes." . The present Townsend plan calls for a gross receipts tax of 2 per cent on all income of more than $250 a month. The revenue would provide an income estimated at be tween $130 and $150 a month for each person more than 60 years old. , -' Dr. Townsend, ' who walks with a cane, was presented a citation at the morning ses sion by Mayor Terry Schrunk; . A LOT OF ROT, WHAT? London (UPD- Minister of Housing Henry Brook ad mitted Monday that, he had neglected the home front. "Owing to full preoccupation - of government - business"-he told a group of builders, "I failed to observe that dry rot had gotten into my house." - Neuberger Urges Larger Food Plan Washington-(DPD-Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) Monday urged expansion of this country's overseas sur plus , food distribution pro grams. He said the programs have "brought increased de mand for grain and fruits pro duced in and shipped from Oregon. . In a statement submitted to a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on dis posal of surplus agricultural commodities, Neuberger said .enactment of new legislation would help "turn America's overflowing agricultural stor age bins into storehouses of good will." ' The senator praised the Oregon Wheat Growers League for its work in Asia under the present short-term surplus food act, Public Law 480. He said the league has "demonstrated clearly to the people of Oregon the humani tarian and economic - values which have resulted from the program which its representa tives have been able to im plement in Japan, South Ko rea, India and Pakistan." Neuberger has co-sponsored a "food for peace" measure introduced by Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) ; Umatilla Wheat Destroyed by Fire Pendleton - (UPD - Umatilla county's first major wheat fire of the year Monday burn ed more than 250 acres, of ripe, standing;, wheat , near here. In less than an hour flames blackened the wheat owned by Raymond Rees east of the Pendleton city limits. Temperatures of 105 de grees "and west winds of 15 miles per hour hampered the fire fighting operation but the blaze" was contained to the south and a gravel road was expected to halt its spread to the north. ' " " - About 95 persons fought the fire. ' , Rees said the fire started when a load of wheat caught fire on a truck, apparently from . the. . vehicle's exhaust,, and flames spread ! to the standing wheat. About one-half of the Eski mos in the world never saw a snow house. , It is possible to report Eisen hower's views on. the troubled international scene today with excellent authority. ' He does not believe the de visive tactics of the Russians will work, even though the British are much more con vinced than the Americans and the . French that the only Russian who can work out 'a Berlin settlement is Premier Nikita .Khrushchev. Nixon's Moscow Visit Eisenhower has some doubts that Khrushchev really wants a summit conference. He may get more information on this point after .Vice President Richard M. Nixon arrives in Moscow later , this week. Nix on - will have "no power - to negotiate current points of dif ference with the Soviet Union, but should Khrushchev put forth any proposal of sub stance for ending the East West stalemate, the vice presi dent will relay it to the Presi dent immediately. j ' The President's mood is not one of anxiety over the need for immediate action. He knows that another Commu nist blockade of West Berlin is possible, but he remains calmly convinced that Russia does not want a nuclear war, He sees the East-West prob lem "over Germany as one of continued negotiation, but with constant readiness on the part of. the West to deal with any situation Russia might precipitate over Berlin. Insists on Progress Eisenhower still insists that before he agrees to a summit meeting, there must be what he regards as -decent progress by the foreign ministers in Geneva. Secretary of State Christian A.- -Herter knows what the President means by decent progress and asxf this morning, the satisfaction of this requirement was not yet in sight. The President has no inten tion of retreating from his publicly stated position on Berlin. The" United States will stick up for the rights of ' the West Germans. She will stand by her present re sponsibilities as one of the occupying powers m West Berlin. He maintains this position in the full knowledge that should the East Germans, ofr- viously with Soviet inspira tion and assistance, throw another- blockade on - the bus tling, prosperous industrial West Berlin, the tactical posi tion of the West will be about as poor as possible-and much more difficult than during the Berlin blockade of . the late 1?"- PortIand-(DPD-Bid openings for approximately $5,300,000 worth of construction have been postponed indefinitely by the State Highway Com mission because of an unset tled situation regarding fur ther federal funds. The decision Monday came about after the commission had considered remaining highway construction funds available, the commission statement said. It was decided to postpone all further contracting involv ing federal matching money. Last week the commission announced that no more-contracts would be offered after the scheduled bid opening to day until Congress acts on highway finance legislation. However, the bids were to have been opened today. A total of 12 projects were scheduled for bid opening to day. The projects .were lo cated, in Douglas, Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah and Uma tilla counties. Some were of major importance in the fed eral aid interstate highway program. East Germany Communist Boss Seen as Biggest Threat of War Los Angeles-(DPD-Frank H. Bartholomew, president of United Press International, said today that the biggest "real threat of war" exists in the person of the Communist boss of East Germany .: Bartholomew said that on a recent trip to Russia he had found no indication of . war preparations. There were no air-raid shelters in Moscow and no air-raid sirens, he said. "There has never been an air-raid drill," he said. 'Noth- ing in the press indicates that war is expected. The people are told that they will be suc cessful in completing the sev en-year plan and the govern ment will be successful in pre venting war. Great Military Bluff "My own personal opinion, then, is that we are observing the perpetration of the great est military bluff in the span of written international his tory.' Bartholomew said, howev er, in "a speech prepared for delivery to the Los Angeles Advertising club, that "a real threat of war does exist.

"Don't take your eye off that little man with the bit ter, sarcastic look and the itchy trigger-finger," he warn ed. Russian Accent Bartholomew described Ul bricht as a German who has lived In the Soviet Union so long he speaks German with a Russian accent. Ulbricht obviously regards his present position in .- East Berlin as "next to impos sible," Bartholomew said. East Berlin is shabby while West Berlin is prosperous, he said, and Ulbricht can not hold the East Germans under his thumb forever with promises of a better life when they can take a subway ride to the West and see "what democ racy really does." "Hence Ulbricht knows the MAIL TRIBUNE, Meiferd, Or. 19 Tuesday, July 21, 1959 10 only way he can perpetuate himself and his crew is with the armed might of the USSR immediately behind him, or by demolishing West Ger many and digesting it into his own moth-eaten empire," Bar tholomew said.
