8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Friday, Jan. 22, 1960 Eden's Book Raps Ike, Dulles in Suez Solution New York - (UPD - Former British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden charges that President Eisenhower and the late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles thwarted a peaceful solution of the 1956 Suez crisis by vacillation, cynicism and an unrealistic appraisal of its importance in relation to the Middle East power balance. Problems Conceded Eden, in excerpts from his memoirs published in Mc Call's magazine, conceded that the U.S. had some prob lems of its own - including a national election - which af fected its handling of the three - month crisis between Egypt's seizure of the Suez Canal on July 26, 1956, and the British and French armed intervention at the end of Oc tober. But that did not mitigate his criticism of the U.S. gov ernment for forcing Britain and France down what he described as a ' long and dis 1 mal trail of negotiations." During this period, as he re lated it. the U.S. failed to exert any financial pressure on Egypt and, through ill timed public statements, pull ed the teeth from every plan which it was hoped would force return of the canal to international control. "A preacher in ine worm of politics, it sometimes seem ed as if Mr. Dulles had little regard for the consequences of his words . . ." Eden wrote. The first instalment of ex cerpts from Edens book, to be published this spring, cov ers western negotiations and actions over the Suez crisis from the inception of the Aswan Dam project, from which western financial sup port was withdraw publicly by Dulles on July 16, 1956, to the point at which Britain and France decided to inter vene in Egypt without con sulting the United States. Wall Street Chatter New York - (ITD - Chrysler could prove to be the auto mobile stock of the year, a field study of the situation by Good body & Co., notes. "Although not for the faint hearted . , . we recommend purchase by those willing to take to a full speculative risk, the firm points out. "Chrysler, trimmed down to fighting size by two very lean years, appears to be in a good position to capitalize on the sweeping changes taking place in the auto industry." The popularity of the Val iant as well as favorable ac ceptance of the new Dart, pro vides the potential for 1960 being Chrysler's year of ' con siderable sales revival," the firm adds. Drastic Steps Said Needed To Mailt Deterioration off Merchant Marine A particularly strong base formation is currently being built up by National Biscuit, says Bache & Co. "Should this issue close at or above 5614. accompanied by increas ing trading volume, we would suggest it for short term trad ing accounts." The 1960 model cars will use an average of 56 pounds of aluminum per car, up from 51 pounds last year, estimates Aluminum Co. of America. Aluminum bumpers are now regarded as a virtual certainty and may be produced in color because of improved anodiz ing techniques, the firm says. Minor Accident Reported to Police A reported hit-and-run col lision yesterday turned out to be, instead, a minor accident. Police said the supposed hit-and-run driver was on his way to an emergency medical call. James Kay Henry, Eagle Point, told city police that an other car hit and damaged his car while it was parked on North Riverside ave., between Fifth and Sixth sts. about 5:10 p.m. Wednesday, then left the scene without leaving any in formation. Henry obtained the license number of the vehicle and gave it to police. Police found the owner to be Dr. Lorenzo Dow Inskeep, 2401 Hillcrest rd., and con tacted him at his residence. Dr. Inskeep told them he was on an emergency call at the time of the accident and after hitting the car, backed up and saw that damage was slight so proceeded to take his pa tient to the hospital. After his patient was taken care of Dr. Inskeep returned to the scene of the accident, police said he told them. No citations were issued.

S. merchant marine, a mat ter of vital concern to the Gov ernment, industry and the military services, can be checked only by drastic im provement of cargo-handling and ship operating efficiency. This warning was contain ed in a feport issued here to day by a panel of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council. The report was prepared by a nine-man advisory panel on the wartime uses of the U. S. merchant marine headed by Adm. Ar thur W. Radford, USN (Ret.), a . former . chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Must Make Advances To avoid complete depend ence on f o r e i g n-controlled shipping for the maintenance of its military and commercial lifelines, the report warned, the U. S. must carry out these improvements and make sig nificant advances in ship de sign and construction. The ad vances, it said are technologi cally practical and can be commercially successful with minimum subsidy. The report recommends construction of a "new class of cargo vessels of advanced design with speeds in excess of 20 knots" (about 23 miles per hour). Present cargo ships average about 16.5 knots, or 18.6 mph. These ships would incorporate a unitized system of cargo handling, embody in creased mechanization, and permit automation, to reduce stevedoring costs, and allow quick turn-around of the ship. Increasing the productivity of labor and management is a "more constructive alter nate to subsidization," the re port said, but in both subsi dized and unsubsidized seg ments of the U. S. maritime in dustry there is a "general lack of incentive to take ad vantage of technological ad vances." Symptoms of Decline The report cited the follow ing symptoms of decline in the merchant marine. 1. Most of its ships are near ly overage and long outmod ed. As of July 1, 1959, the privately owned U. S. mer chant fleet numbered 1,013 ships, of which about 800 were constructed before the end of World War II. 2. U. S. flag shipping is car rying a steadily decreasing portion of U. S. foreign trade (18 per cent in 1957 and 12 per cent in 1958). 3. The country is in danger of losing its "flag of conven ience" fleet, which carries about one-third of its foreign trade. This fleet is comprised of U.S.-owned vessels flying the flags of Panama, Liberia or Honduras. Attacks on this arrangement by U. S. labor unions and some foreign in terests have brought threats from the owners to transfer to the flags of traditional maritime nations. The report recommended that the Government take the lead "in enlisting the coopera tion of maritime labor and management to produce a technologically feasible fleet which will be competitive with minimum subsidy." Federal Agency Urged The panel urged the estab lishment of a Federal agency to determine ways in which the transition to mechanized and automated production can be accomplished without un due harm . to labor. It also stressed that consideration should be given to the design and construction of an experi mental aluminum cargo ship. Four possible courses of ac tion were outlined for accom plishing an effective transi tion to more mechanized and automated crew and cargo handling procedures. These were taking maximum advan tage of the natural attrition from the available work force, lowering retirement ages, re training and relocating work ers both within and without the industry, and adjusting salaries and increasing fringe benefits for those workers who remain in the industry. Drivers' Licenses In Area Suspended Salem-The department of motor vehicles has released names of 284 drivers whose licenses were ordered sus pended during the period be ginning Jan. 11 and ending Jan. 15. Length of suspension varies, depending on charges involv ed, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the department or requirements of Oregon law. The depart ment said some of the li censes involving court recom mendations may have been re-instated after suspension was ordered. The department warned drivers that the penalty for driving while suspended is a jail sentence of no less than two days and up to six months, and there may be im posed a fine up to $500: Un der licensing procedures, this will also result in an addi tional year of suspension. Among those suspended in Jackson county were: Gas Utilities Merger Approved PUPS GET NEW HOME-Mr. and Mrs. J. new pups.

Get a bottle today at WESTERN THRIFT By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI While House Reporter Washington - (UPD - Back stairs at the White House: This, inspector, is the case of the "hot" buttermilk, or as we say downtown, the classy clabber. It reached all the way in side the White House before the neighborhood pusher ran out of supplies. We've had these cases be fore, inspector. You know how it is - a man gets to be 60 or so and begins to think of his youth and someone comes alon0 with a gimmick to make him feel young again monkey glands, vitamin pills, all that jazz. Simple Buttermilk In this case, the magic stuff was buttermilk, pure and sim ple buttermilk. With hor mones. Male hormones. As near as our agents can determine, this business start ed at a cabinet meeting with President Eisenhower sitting up their just as big as you please. One of the cabinet mem bers got to whispering with another fellow at one end of the room. The other fellow was one of the President's chiefs assistants. ' The assist ant, it seems, said how well the cabinet member looked. "Buttermilk," said the cabi net member. "That's what did it." Something was said about hormones; that this particular milk was simply loaded with the stuff to make a man feel like himself again. Over-Priced Groceries Our case switches now to the supplier, a pleasant little man who was minding his own business selling over priced groceries to bigshots in a little rare foods empor ium not far from the White House. Among his choice items was buttermilk from a small dairy. The next thing the store keeper knew, there was a long line of black limousines purring up to the curb, uni formed men sliding inside, to ask for a couple quarts of "that" buttermilk. Without a limousine to serve as creden tials, it was possible to get the magic elixir simply by mentioning the name of the cabinet member in a properly hushed, speakeasy type voice. Inspector, the thing turned into a boom. This supplier got to where he was selling more buttermilk than cheese tid bits. One high government official raced into his store and demanded, as it were, to be saved. There was even a system of deliveries started at some of the highest government of fices in town. The word of buttermilk with hormones spread like fire in dry leaves. Nothing in Bullermilk Then the case came to the attention of this department. Let the neighborhood clabber pusher tell his own story: "I don't know what go into those men. Hormones? Nuts. That would be against the law, putting anything in milk that wasn't put there natural ly. "There's absolutely nothing in this buttermilk. Absolute ly nothing. It was just plain old churned buttermilk and somebody got to talk about it.

(UPI Telephoto) "Those fellows bought me out high and dry. I haven't been able to get hold of a quart for days. Boy, while I had it, I sure sold it. I have a waiting list now if I ever get a supply again. You want me to telephone the White House if any comes in?" British See Few Drinks As Too Many London - (UPD - The British Medical association says drinking more than a glass and a half of beer or three shots of whiskey before motor ing can make you an unsafe driver.

Oxford, England-Orson Welles, contending at the Oxford university debating union that the spread of vulgarity in the West could not be blamed on the United States: "If Europt lagged behind America in vulgarity, it was not by virtue of niceties of feeling but largely because of two world wars ... now you are catching up with us."
