MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wednesday, July 29, 1959 Eisenhower Gives Blessing to Substitute Labor Bill : (So story en Pag 1). ; Washington -UPD- President Eisenhower today gave his 'qualified blessing to a substi tute labor reform bill un- :veiled In the House this week He told a news conference ithat the measure, sponsored ,'by Reps. Phil A. Landrum (D- ;Ga.) and Robert P. Griffin (R- -Mich.), came much closer to -his idea for dealing with union corruption than the Senate -bill and one approved by the House Labor committee. The President said he : thought the new legislation .'went far toward correcting the evils exposed by the Sen ate rackets investigation. He said he had not studied all of the bill but had been advised it would come a long way closer to carrying out his recommendations than other measures. The Landrum-Griffin bill carries stricter curbs on sec ondary boycotts and organi zational picketing in line with administration recommenda tions. On other topics which came up at his news conference, the President said: ' He does not think that Russian missile superiority gives the Soviet Union an ad vantage at Geneva. He noted the U.S. fired an interconti nental missile Tuesday night and this nation also has other means and methods which fully counter-balance Soviet strength during the transition from conventional weapons to long-range missiles. He would not comment on whether the record-breaking profit reported by the U.S Steel Corporation Tuesday for the first half of 1959 should permit a wage increase with out a price increase, lie saia Via rnntri1v had answered such questions by saying that he would not discuss subjects during negotiations lest he ap pear to be favoring one side or the other. Hopes For Aid Funds The House-approved re duction in the foreign aid ap propriation, cutting more than MIA !tt! J -1 1 X UM 7UU million UUiiats iiuiu uia original program, would seri ously damage the U.S. position in the world. But he said he was hopeful that the Senate would restore much of the Disability Benefits Should be Checked Disabled workers who have not applied for social security disability benefits because they are receiving disability payments from another feder al agency, or under a State Workmen's Compensation pro gram, should get in touch with their local social security without delay. According to Edward B. Ja cobson, manager of the local social security district office, such workers can now get so cial security disability bene fits. Moreover, benefits can go back as far as August, 1958, if an application .is filed be fore Sept. 1. Under the law in effect prior to August, 1958, a work er's social security disability payment was reduced by the amount of any other disabil ity benefit he received under a State Workmen's Compen sation program, or from an other federal ' agency. In a number of cases this meant that no social security disabil ity payment could be made. As a result, many workers who would not have benefited by the "disability freeze" did not file a claim. These work ers should check with, their local social security office not later than Aug. 31. money chopped out by the House. He has not yet decided whether to veto the TV A self financing bill, but he wishes the measure had been passed by Congress without a provi sion freeing TVA from budget control by the administration. He is gratified that some of the winners in the Hawai ian election are of Asian ex traction and believes the re sult is a very fine example of democracy at work. In his comments on the la bor reform bill, Eisenhower said the Landrum-Griffith sub stitute dealt with three issues which he considered very im portant blackmail picketing, secondary boycott, and author ity for states to deal with la bor disputes over which the National Labor Relations Board refuses jurisdiction. He said he wanted to com mend the people who had got ten together to draft the sub stitute bill. Festival's Opening Night Productions Called 'Delightful' For the rest of the world yesterday was Tuesday, July 28. 1959. In Ashland it was much more. It was the open ing of the 19th season of the Oregon Shakespearean festi val in a fine, new Elizabethan theater. It was the flowering of a long-held dream and a time for celebration. So the music and dancing and gaiety which began in Lithia park with the annual Feasting of the Tribe of Will early in the evening moved from the greensward to the new stage. With fitting pomp and ceremony the Festival company opened this mile stone-marking season with the Masque of the New World" and "Twelfth Night." Since nothing already writ ten would be suitable for this SDecial night in Ashland, the Masque was written by Carl Ritchie, the festival's director of publicity, and Bernard, Windt, director of music, who composed a score for this par ticular occasion. In a setting of splendor Queen Elizabeth, played by Margaret Vafiadis, receives those men of history, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir . Fran cis Drake and Sir Martin Fro- bisher, played by George Va fiadis, William Oyler and Ezra Howard. She hears of their plans and dreams for adding to the glory of her empire. Soothsayer A soothsayer looks into the future and tells how great changes will take place, how Elizabeth's name will live on and how she will be honored in the New World in tne land of Oregon. This vision of New World is portrayed with music and dancing a se ries of back drops gives the audience a glimpse of the mountains and forests of this new land Oregon and a dazzlingly beautiful "new" queen Elizabeth is seen on a throne high above the stage. Feste, the clown of "Twelfth Night," weaves the pattern for this elaborate and gorgeously costumed work and the whole moves without pause into Twelfth Night," the play chosen by Producing Director Angus Bowmer to open the 19th season. 'Masque of the New World" was not created in uie &ia weeks since the company as sembled in Ashland; it was conceived last summer and throughout the weeks since, Ritchie and Windt and Turner have put many hours of effort in it. It was written to exemplify the vision which moved men like Drake and Raleigh and Frobisher, the same vision which must have moved the men and women who came West to Oregon and the vision and spirit which moved the men and women who worked to bring the new Oregon Shakespearean theater to reality.

OBKOH and with music "The Masque of the New World" is created Mr. Windt's music and its in terpretation by Meredith El lis, harpsichordist, and a group of recorder players, we found especially delightful. Jerry Turner directed this lav ish theatrical bit, and chore ographer John Hawkins is re sponsible for the dancing. Producer Bowmer, of course, knew precisely what he was doing when he chose "Twelfth Night" to open this particular season. One of the best examples of Shake- spear's talent for comedy, both subtle and broad, it is a great favorite with audiences, and it combines well with "The Masque" Director Bowmer has an ex cellent cast for his 1959 "Twelfth Night" production. It is leaded by Philip Hanson who has this season sharpened and refined the role of Malvo lio which he played so well in 1951 the role of the man "sick of self love" who has the sympathy as well as the laugh ter of the audience. Sir Toby Belch in this play is one of Shakespear's best known com edy characters and Theodore Marcuse brings to it a robust quality .tempered with finesse. A player with much theatrical experience, Marcuse is a new comer, to the Ashland festival and we have a notion the fans are going to like him, very much indeed. Richard D. Risso, whose playing in past seasons has pleased Ashland audiences, displayed a deep ened feeling for broad comedy in last night's show; the play ing of the two men blended well. Clown Overihadowed Almost we thought that Paul Nagle Jackson's interpre tation of Feste, the clown, was a bit overshadowed last night by Sir Toby and Sir Andrew. Then we remembered his sing ing. Jackson had his best mo ments then. His handling of the closing scene, as he left the darkened stage singing the plaintive little verses with nis voice fading away into the night, was a fitting close to la memorable evening. Three charming, comely and skillful actresses delight the eye and ear in this cast. Bar bara Waide, cast in the 1951 production under the name of Barbara Huggins, recreates the role of the beautiful Vi ola who disguises herself as a young man; Mary Jo Ran dall is a delightful Olivia and an English actress, Auriol M, D. Smith, turns in a refresh ing performance as Maria, the light-hearted, saucy, lady-in- waiting. David O Bnen makes a handsome Orsino, Duke of Illyria and Mark Rawson is Sebastian, twin brother to Vi ola. Neither of these roles give an actor any great opportu nity for a display of talent. Others to be noted in the cast are Larry Bedini and Robert Towers as' the Duke's gentle men, and Dion Chesse as Fa bian. William Oyler, long-time festival favorite, plays the mi nor role of the sea captain al though another actor is on the program for this part. "Twelfth Night" is typical Shakespeare. It has the de vices of the appealing young woman in distress garbing her self as a man, and the mistak en identities; it has a hand s me man strolling about the stage speaking beautiful poet ry and it has roistering, half drunken men scheming to bring trouble to their betters. It has an air of unreality, it has deception which really de ceives no one. But it is gay, it is lighthearted, it is filled with laughter. Last night, however, every thing was enhanced. The play ers, their costumes, the light ing, the music everything had a glow. It was a good comedy with a good cast under an excellent director; it was opening night in a beau tiful new theater which pro vides the cast and company the facilities they .need. It was Shakespeare played under a cloudless, star-filled sky. It was Ashland. It was delight-ful.-O.S. i Nixon Not Given Authority to Ask Khrushchev Here (Continued from Page 1) Asked wnetcer tne vice president had been given au thority to invite Khrushchev to the United States, the Presi dent said of course not. He said, however, that the vice president has the right to dis cuss the pros and cons of such a proposal. The President said he had no particular feeling about the question of whether -the congressionally inspired proc lamation by the President naming last week as Captive Nations Week embarrassed Nixon because of its timing. He cited his 1952 campaign statements that the U. S would never believe that true peace could be established in the world until there were free elections in every coun try. ' Eisenhower has privately expressed astonishment over the reaction of the Soviet leaders and press to the cap tive nations resolution. He has told visitors that he person ally believes it was wholly warranted. In his opinion, it was war ranted because whenever the U. C. makes any friendly ges ture towards the Soviet Union the effect of that gesture on the people; of the satellite nations must also be consid ered. Necessity for Courtesy In addition, the President believes that the Soviet Union has to be constantly remind ed of the state of mind of the captive nations. He is con vinced that any goodwill gesture the U. S. makes to ward those nations exerts a wholesome pressure on the Russians themselves. In all, the Preident's atti tude to the resolution so hot ly denounced by, the Krem lin is that he is happy it was adopted and he was en thusiastic about it. As for the possibilities of a Khrushchev visit, the Presi dent is known to feel that in any event any American pub lic opinion would have to be prepared carefully ahead of time to avoid any demonstra tions or rude incidents. He is mindful of the recent refusal of the mayor of Detroit to receive Soviet Deputy Pre mier Frol Kozlov on the lat- ter's visit here. However, Eisenhower feels that Kozlov generally was gjven a courteous and friend ly reception. Should Khrush chev come to this country, the President is hopeful that "the Soviet leader would be ac corded the same hospitality. Eisenhower is, aware that Khrushchev has seemingly displayed ignorance of many aspects of American life and that the Soviet leader tends to discount reports from other Russians who have first hand knowledge of the United States. About 40 per cent of the radios produced in the U. S. are made for installation into motor vehicles. Morse May Not Campaign Against Nuberger in 1960 By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington : Correspondent Washington -(Speciar- Sen, Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) may not campaign in Oregon next year against Sen. Richard L. Neuberger after all. He says he won't cam paign against Neuberger in the general election cam paign, should a. Robt. smith Neuberger be renominated for another Sen ate term in the spring pri mary. And it no Democratic op ponent who he feels merits support files against Neuber ger, Morse says he will call off his announced intent to try to defeat Neuberger. I'm not going to campaign against my party," Morse de clared in an interview. Not Going to Support By that he meant he isn't going to lend support" to the Republicans in their effort to defeat the Democratic nomi nee in the general election. even if that nominee is Neu berger, nor is he going to op pose Neuberger, just for the sake of opposing him, in the primary unless there is an ac ceptable Democrat to chal lenge Neuberger in the primary. Morse, too, concedes that even if he campaigns against Neuberger in behalf of anoth er Democrat in the primary. he may not successfully carry off his hope of defeating his younger Senate colleague. If he finds after the filing deadline next February that there is no Democratic rival for Neubergers seat whom he can support, Morse said he will stay out of it. He hasn't decided as yet whether he will run for delegate to the Democratic National Conven tion, a decision which may be keyed in with whether or not he campaigns against Neu berger. "You may find me campaigning for Democrats in other parts of the country," observed Morse wryly. Denounces Story Morse recently, took the Senate floor to denounce a story he said was being whis pered about that he would ''blast" Sen. Lyndon B. John son '(D-Tex) if the Senate ma- jority leader came into Ore gon this fall. Morse had been critical of Johnson in some out of town speeches in recent months, but not in "the Senate cham ber. Neuberger, on the other hand, has been pelting John son with verbal bouquets -even to giving Johnson credit for getting funds added to a pending appropriation bill for a new hydroelectric project "in Oregon, Green Peter dam on the South Santiam river.

Would he attend such a din ner: "Of course not."- Would he blast Johnson for coming to Oregon to praise Neuberger? "Anybody knows that I am always a good host to anyone who comes to my state." Speaks Harshly Some of Johnson's people recall vividly that when Morse has made speeches in Texas, he hasn't been so gen tle with Lyndon. Morse con cedes the accuracy of this, re calling that when he was an Independent he went to Texas and spoke harshly of John son's refusal to grant him his committee assignments. The Johnson people recall it differently. One aide said: "Morse came down to Texas and said Price Daniel (then the other senator from Texas) was a senator who took care of the oil interests, and Lyn don was a senator who took care of himself." But today Morse says that if Johnson is nominated by the Democrats for president, he will campaign for him. He said he thinks Johnson would be much preferable to either Vice President Nixon or Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, the two front runners for the Repub lican nomination. "Just because. I differ with a man over some issues does not mean that I can't cam paign for him," Morse said with a big grin, sounding more like a party regular than at any time since he was crusading for the election of a string of conservative Re publicans in 1946. New Chemical May Thicken Paints Washington, Del - (Science Service)-Water-soluble paints may be thickened and stabil ized by a riew chemical agent called Natrosol 250. The chem ical is made to produce clear, smooth solutions that contain no haze or additional color. Manufactured by the Her cules Powder company here, Natrosel is a non-ionic water soluble hydroxyethyl ether of cellulose. The company sug gests further applications in textile and paper sizings, ce ramics, inks, and latex emul sions for adhesives and coatings.. Fair Exhibitors Should Tell Plans Commercial and private ex hlbitors have less than 30 days in which to prepare their exhibits for the Kiwanis Cen tennial Fair, according to Russ Renner, general chair man of theh event. Local firms wishing to re serve exhibit space should contact Russ Jamison in Med- ford at SPring 2-8131, for fur ther information on availabil ity. The deadline for space reservation for past exhibitors is Aug. 1, Renner said, and space will be leased on a first come, first serve basis after that time. The cost of display space for Jackson county Granges and home extension units is being underwritten by local business firms, and firms in terested in this type of partici pation in the county fair may also contact Renner or Jami son for details! - Individual exhibits in the food, textiles, land products, and other divisions have until Aug. 10 to indicate their in tention of exhibiting, Renner stated. Additional information on individual exhibits may be received by contacting Miss Mary Pat Lucy, county home demonstration agent, or Larry liorton, coordinator. Renner reported that Rubber-Base Material May Be New Shield Akron, Ohio-(Science Serv-ice)-A pourable rubber-based material may be used to help shield crew and passengers of nuclear-powered aircraft and ships from atomic radia tion. Developed by Goodyear Tire and Rubber company here, the new synthetic rub ber compound absorbs neu tron radiation without dam age. It can withstand tempera tures ranging from 60 below zero to 200 degrees Fahren heit. Atomic power plants being developed for aircraft and ships need a lightweight shield against neutrons in ad dition to lead shielding to ab- soro gamma rays.
