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

original program, would seri
ously damage the U.S. position

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.

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.

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.

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.
Back of this profusion of
compliments has been an ef
fort by Neuberger, sources

here say, to persuade Johnson
to come to Oregon this fall to
be main speaker at a testi
monial dinner for Neuberger,
Asked what his attitude to
ward this would be, Morse
said: "It's all right with me."
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.

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
