GOP members of Congress 5 hailed the chief executive as J the real leader of this year's '" session. Bat several Demo- crats -said that if he showed leadership, it was in the di- rection of bigger spending. The President was praised for "vigorous leadership" by such members of his party as I Senate Republican Whip J Thomas Kuchel (Calif.), Sen. i Karl E. Mundt (S.D.) and Rep. Harold C. Ostertag (N.Y.). ; Dissenting from the GOP t interpretation were Senate 5 Democratic Leader Lyndon B- Johnson and his assistant, J Sen. Mike Mansfield.' -i They declared that ; the jemocratic - controlled . Con- t '"ress had cut Eisenhower's ecord oeacetime spending proposals by $1,800,000,000.

Duncan, speaker of the Oregon legislature, encour aged Oregon editorial writers to summarize both sides of a controversy before the editor gives his own conclusion. Speaker Duncan was one of the speakers at the Edi torial Writers' Conference of the Oregon Newspaper Pub lishers association held in Timberline Lodge last week end. The local attorney said that he felt that the Oregon press was not entirely fair in its editorial columns, speaking as a Democrat and legislator. He criticized the use, of slang ex pressions in editorials, stating that this detracts from the dignity one expects to find in an editorial. Editorial Pagts Also commenting on the state newspaper's editorials was Donald M. DuShane, dean of students at the University of Oregon. He mentioned sur veying the editorial pages of a selected group of dailies and weeklies and told of a defi nite lack of editorials which had a "bite" in them. He said that the majority of the edi torials dealt with noncontro versial subjects. Editorial writers agreed during a discussion which fol lowed the speakers that u an editorial is to have "bite" and h short enough to attract readers, it need not give both sides of an argument, ims is especially true, it was decided if the news columns have pre sented the facts fully.. Reports on readability of Oregon newspapers and ex periences in conducting edi torial campaigns were also presented at the meeting. Monroe Sweetland of the Milwaukie Review was elect ed chairman for 1960 when news executives will hold a conference. Editorial writers will meet again in 1961 with Robert W. Chandler, Bend Bulletin, chairman.

Woods' 'Capitalist Stooge Name Hung on Reuther San Francisco -UP&- Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev got into an uproarious and hot exchange with American union leaders late Sunday night after receiving in San Francisco the warmest public reception of his tour. Union chiefs were still ar guing today exactly what Khrushchev said in the com motion, but there was general agreement that he did insist that workers in Russia have the right to strike. Reuther Blasted Khrushchev blasted Walter Reuther, United Auto Work ers Union president as a "cap italist stooge" when Reuther asked him why he pretended only Communists wanted to help the working man. The dinner and argument lasted for three hours and 15 minutes and ended shortly be fore midnight. Khrushchev went up for a five-minute look at the lights of the city from the top of the Mark Hopkins hotel and then retired to his 'royal suite" on the 16th floor of the hotel v The AFL-CIO was holding its national convention here but President George Meany pointedly stayed away from meeting Khrushchev. James B. Carey of the Electric Work ers Union along with Reuther was a prime mover in arrang ing the dinner. Reuther Held Briefing Reuther held a "briefing" for 300 newsmen after the session and gave his version of what had happened. Reuther said . he - asked Khrushchev: "I would like to know what a Soviet worker can do - can he strike? Can he withhold labor's power?" Khrushchev was said to have replied: Yes. he has the right to strike and there have been strikes since the revolution. But there have been no recent strikes because the worker knows the government is on his side." Reuther said he pressed the point further and got the argu ment that "labor and govern ment are of one mind." The '. Communist leader be came very upset, Reuther said, when union leaders ask ed him to explain the mass exodus from North Korea, Poland,- Hungary ' and other nations where Reds had tak en over the government. Told To Think It Over . Khrushchev told his Ques tioners to think it over and answer for themselves. 'You drink some beer and you will find the answers," he said. - At this point, Reuther said, 'matters got out of hand." - Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Yuri Zhukov, minister for cultural and for eign exchanges were among the Russians present. Other union leaders were Joseph C u r r a n. National Maritime Union; Karl F. Feller, United Brewery Workers; O. A. Knight, Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers; Paul Phil lips, United Paper Makers; Emil Rieve, Textile-Workers; Reuther's brother, Victor Reuther and George P. Weav er, Carey's administrative as sistant. Khrushchev had b e e n in good spirits on his arrival and during the daylong train trip Sunday from Los Angeles in which he laughed off the idea he - was thinking of' going home in aneer after his clash with Mayor Norris Paulson; "Why should I go home," he said. "But I don't intend to stay forever." ' : " Some Cheered Ten thousand persons ap plauded - and some cheered Khrushchev when his car ar rived outside the Mark Hop kins. Khrushchev spent five minutes waving and acknowl edging the greeting which he said was "khorosho (Good). But shortly after he joined the union leaders at dinner he was embroiled in a hot and heavy exchange in which he became ' excited and cracked back hotly at his inquisitors.

It was learned authorita tively by United Press Inter national that a possible gener al slowdown across the nation was being planned, mcinly by officials of the United Auto Workers. No Formal Statement However, labor officials de clined to issue a formal state ment because of the possibil- version, ' Khrushchev called him a capitalist lackey, a capitalist stooge. Reuther said he told another questioner, "that's a stupid'question" and called Reuther a "dictator" when he tried to amplify a question. 1 Knight asked Khrushchev about self-determination, par ticularly in East Germany. Reuther said Khrushchev, said German workers supported the nationalization of indus try and insisted there are free elections in East Germany. Brings Up Hungary , Knight brought up Hun gary. "Hooligans and saboteurs launched the counter-revolution in Hungary," Khrush chev replied.

He said any industry which jiised large quantities of steel might be involved, if an injunction is issued and steel production resumes. Ice Can Invoke Act President Eisenhower can invoke the Taft-Hartley act whenever he considers that the steel strike is creating a national emergency, under an injunction, the steel workers would be ordered back to their iobs but would be free to go on strike again if a set tlement had not been reached after 80 days.- The only public -statement concerning a possible slow down was a hint last week by Emil Mazey. secretary-treas urer of the UAW. Mazey said that workers might not have "any enthusiasm if an injunc tion was issued. ' In the Dast. auto workers have been able to cut produc tion by as much as 40 per cent by upsetting the timing of the production line. It was be lieved that production in oth er industries also could be drastically slashed. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and.
