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. '

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

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.
"I think it lies in the person

- Bartholomew intervie wed

Ulbricht obviously regards
