It is an infor mal'appraisel of what Eisenhower accomplished and some of the highlight of his mission. Br MERRIMAN SMITH and STEWART HENSLEY Washington -(DPD President Eisenhower was acclaimed Tuesday morning in Madrid by the newspaper, ABC, as ''salesman of the peace." . In India, big signs across teem ing streets of New Delhi hail ed him as "prince of peace." And in Morocco there was a sign beneath which Berber tribesmen slouched on their Cypress Mines Buys Canadian Cypress Mines corpora tion, with headquarters in Los Angeles, has acquired a sub stantial 1 block of timber on 60,000 acres of land in the areas'-of Golden and Revel stoke, British Columbia, t h r on g a its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Kicking Horse Forest Products, Lim ited. : Most of the timber was owned ty Canadian Western Lumber company Limited, a division of Crown Zellerback, Canada, Limited.

Donations Dim Tragic Memory Fairfield, Calif. (UPB The memory of an unforgettable tragedy is perhaps a bit dim mer today for Ralph and Betty Bryor. . The couple's five children, aged one to five, were burned to death Dec. 14 when fire swept their home. Mrs. Pryor, 22, was burned seriously in a vain rescue' attempt. She is still hospitalized. But she will return to a bright new apartment. Donations from the Military Air Transport Department at Travis Air Force Base totaled $600 yesterday; Another $600 was contributed by men of the Strategic Air Command. A captain paid the first month's rent on the apart ment. Other friends of Airman Pryor, 25, arrived with buck ets and brushes and did a com plete redecoration job. Washington - The propor tion of Negroes in the popula tion of the U.S. has decreased from about one-fifth in 1790 to only about one-tenth today. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central horses. The sign said simply "Ike peace." These signs and slogans, some of them inspired by the local government, some straight from the people, tell pretty well what Eisenhower set out to do on his trip. Worth the Effort They tell, too, why he re turned home Tuesday night dog tired but happily con vinced that more than 22,000 miles of grueling travel and constant speaking were well worth the effort. , These two UPI reporters who traveled the full circuit with the President came home decidedly weary, jaded some what by one colorful mob show after another, but not without some personal views on what Eisenhower may have accomplished, and on possible plus' and minus fac tors for the future. , After 10 days of watching Bus Driver Plans Astoria Service Astoria (DPI) A veteran bus driver for Astoria Transit company, Carl Smart, said to day he would operate a bus service here starting the day after Christmas. Smart has purchased two buses from the , company which recently halted oper ations. Local merchants help ed keep service going through the pre-Christmas season. Smart .said he would main tain about the same service of 12 hours a day, except Sun days and' holidays, with one bus in operation at a time. Fares will be 20 cents. Six Inches of Snow At McKeniie Pass Salem - (DPD - Six inches of new snow was reported at McKenzie pass today. There also was packed snow at La pine, Sisters and Chemult. Icy spots were reported at Government Camp, Warm Springs junction, Medford, Prospect, West Diamond lake, Shaniko, Moro, Bend, Santi am pass, Ochoco summit, Wil lamette pass, Bly, Lakeview, Meacham, Austin, Seneca and Burns. and listening to Eisenhower drum on the theme of "peace and friendship in freedom," here is how we sum up the results: HENSLEY - "The d i p 1 o matic peaks of the President's frighteningly long tour to sell the United States and peace came at opposite geographical sectors of the journey - in In dia and later at the Western .summit conference in Paris. "In India, Eisenhower's peace appeal seemed really to reach-the heartstrings of the restless and impoverished mil lions who turned, out to squat in bis presence and absorb the atmosphere of a. man they called The American King. The Indian people showered him with adultation wherever he went. "And, more specifically In the world of diplomacy; the President and the.. neutralist prime minister of India, Jawa harlal Nehru, thanks in part to the truculence of the Chi nese Reds, apparently reached Two Persons Burned In Ike's Welcome Washington - (CPU - Two well r wishers suffered minor burns from the yard r long sparklers used in the glitter ing torchlight display for President Eisenhower Tues day night. Red Cross officials said the victims were treated with' burn ointment in a first aid truck and released. One was burned on the cheek, the other on the neck City officials went ahead with the display in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House despite a warning from the National Fire Protection association that the three-foot sparklers were "illegal and dangerous." STRIPPED OF COSTUMES Brawley, Calif. ffiPD- Night club stripper Ann La Mont, 24, told sheriff's deputies to day she expected doing her act would be "kind of incon venient" for a while. She said her costumes were stolen from her dressing room. much closer understanding on international affairs. "As for the Western summit meeting in Paris, we won't know for some time just how much the conference pushed back the threshhold of Com munist threats and expansion. The Western Big Four decis ion to invite Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to an April 27 meeting in the French capi tal was .a source of consider able satisfaction to Eisenhow er...; "His visits to the .other coun tries, along the route were highly important locally, but in retrospect they seemed to have been largely matters of back-slapping and listening to cautious explorations into the field of American aid." : SMITH - "It was a most, difficult trip to appraise, par ticularly when -we had to: do itfom the middle of a howl ing crowd or while ' looking at scenes of Asiatic splendor like the Taj Mahal or the pal ace lancers in New Delhi. Trip Big Success "My feeling is that from the standpoint of foreign mass consumption, the Eisenhower trip was a big success. Sure, some of the crowds were manufactured, but a lot of them were not. No matter how Eisenhower's motives and accomplishments may be ar gued, it is undeniable that millions of people on three continents turned out to cheer him. ' "Not at any time -in his career has he been praised so highly in public' . "It seems logical that when millions turn out to cheer an American president in foreign lands, the United States as a whole benefits. "With this adultation, how ever, comes responsibility and expectation. The cheers of to day can turn awfully sour if those doing the cheering are led to expect something in return - and then don't get it. "To keep some of this pro American sentiment in flower undoubtedly will require the help of Congress. And there is reason to doubt the Presi dent will get any unusual sup port from a Democratic Con gress in a national election year." ' .

New York Digg ing Out of Snowfall; Repeat Expected : New York (DPD The' na tion's biggest city, digging out of -a seven-inch snowfall that nearly ' hamstrung its trans portation arteries, today faced a possible repeat performance Christmas Eve. The 18 - hour snowstorm started on the last day of autumn and ended just 35 minutes before winter official ly arrived Tuesday. But air, rail and road transportation was hobbled for most of the day. . Deaths Blamed on Snow At least 14 ; deaths were blamed on the snow in Massa chusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania!

The charges were filed with ; the National Labor Relations Board by Union Attorney Don Richardson. The union has been on strike against the two newspapers since Nov. 10. , The union charged that during the strike the publish ers have relied on strike insur ance benefits to recruit out side personnel to replace the striking workers and to col laborate in the publication of a joint newspaper. The union contended that such a use of strike insurance has deprived the union members of their rights as guaranteed by . the National Labor Relations Act. A spokesman for the Ore gon Journal and the Oregon ian said that the charge was "a frivolous one and made in no more good faith than has characterized the union's ne gotiations throughout. The exact equivalent would be a charge that the union had bar gained in bad faith because it is accepting 6trike benefits from the international." Store-Wide Stock o Mil fnlflW rUUAL.
