MAIL TWBUNI, MriferJ, Or. Tuesday, April 1, 10 Court Upholds Deporfc fafion of Portland Painter Washington - (UPD - The Su preme Court has upheld a 1952 deportation order against a Portland, Ore., house paint er accused of Joining the Com munist party following his en try into this country from Fin land in 1909. The man, Willis Nlvkkan en, known as William Albert Mackle, was about a year old when he entered this country. The court split 5 to 4 in af firming his deportation order. The deportation was based on the internal security act of 1950, which provides for de portation of aliens who join the party in this country. Mackie has staved off his departure by appeals, includ ing a previous appeal to the Supreme Court in 1957. Statute Upheld The High Court on May 24, 1954, upheld the constitution ality of the statute as applied to willing party members, even though they are not shown to have been aware that the party wanted to over- throw the government by force. The court later struck down another deportation order on the ground that the alien's membership was not the kind of "meaningful association" required by the law. Mackie contended that his case fell within the 1957 rule. Washington - April 10, will mark the 170th birthday of the U. S. patent office. THE 8 n. W. H.

The total federal outlay for this purpose has never been calculated but available fig' ures indicate it is in excess of $2 billion a year. Here are the principal cate gorics of Americans who ben' efit from federally financed medical care: Veterans Free hospitalization and out-patient medical care is available, under certain con ditions, to any of the 22.600,- 000 veterans who served at least 90 days in the armed forces during a period when the United States was at war. Veterans with "service-con nected" disabilities, injuries or illnesses (the phrase "serv. ice-connected" means simply that the ailment developed while the veteran was in service, and docs not neces sarily have any relation to combat) are automatically en titled to whatever treatment they may require by the 170 hospitals maintained by the Veterans Administration. Other veterans may obtain free treatment at a VA hos pital provided (1) a bed is available and (2) they are willing to sign a statement saying they cannot afford to pay for private care.

Material of historic in Adenauer Back-to-Wall Battle Bonn, Germany - (UPD - At 84 years of age, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is fighting perhaps the biggest back-to-the-wall battle of his life for the West German cause. He is uneasy about the out come of next month's summit meeting In Paris. His concern has reached politically-minded Germans. It has never been said in as many words, but Adenauer is afraid Germany may be sold out by the four world powers. Ever since his return from the United States at the begin ning of this month, this fear has been the unspoken thought behind his several public pre-summlt statements. Fighiing for View Dr. Adenauer may appear to be downgrading the sum mit even before it starts. But he's not. Rather, he's fighting to convince the United States, Britain and France that his views are the right ones. For months, and particular ly during the past two weeks. Adenauer has preached one pre-summit opinion - disarm ents - an estimated 3 million wives and minor children -also are eligible for free hos pitalization, surgical treat ment and medical care at mil Fighting Biggest ament, disarmament, disarm ament. If the summit doesn't con centrate on disarmament, all may be lost, he believes-witjh West Germany the big loser. He is worried that if the world powers concentrate on the Berlin problem in Parris, a deadlock will arise from which it will be impossible to escape and which might ruin forever the chances !for a disarmament agreement. But if disarmament is ban died first - and Adenauer be lieves there are good chances for an agreement then he thinks the Berlin and Genman questions will present a far simpler problem. Two Feari There are perhaps two causes for Adenauer's stidden rash of pre-summit warnings. The first is that he wes un able to secure from President Eisenhower a firm U.S. com mittal not to alter the status of West Berlin. The chancel lor didn't really exped such committal, but he would have greatly welcomed one. The second cause might be 1 Medical itary facilities or, under cer tain circumstances, by private institutions or physicians at federal expense.

Not only the West ern power treated this unex pected proposal with reserva tion, but there was consider able opposition within Ger many itself. The chancellors pre-sum mit fears have been put into words several times since his return from the U.S. and Japan. 10 Per Cent Hike In Postal Workers' Salaries Predicted Washington - (UPD - Two congrcssmen-a Democrat and Republican-have predicted that congress will approve at least a 10 per cent pay in crease for Postal workers be fore the end of this session. The Republican, however, raised the possibility that President Eisenhower might veto such a measure. Reps. Chet Holifield (D- Calif.) and Joel T. Broyhill (R-Va.) agreed that boosts are needed, both for Postal work ers and other Federal em ployees. Others Getting Moio "In the last 11 years," Holi field said, "there have been four Postal pay raises and thev have totaled only 52V cents an hour. Now it's inter esting to note that in almost every field of endeavor, muncipal employees, whether they be firemen, policemen or the motor maids that mark the cars, are getting more money. For Instance, In Los An geles, Calif., a girl who rides along on a motorcycle and marks cars for overparking. gets $153 a month more than a starting employee in the post office," he added. Broyhill said figures show that Postal employees and other Federal workers are "not well off." He said he con sidered this an atrocious situ ation." He said there has been speculation as to whether Eisenhower would turn down a measure providing "modest and reasonable" pay increases "Whether there's a veto or not," Broyhill added, "it's our responsibility In the congress to do what we think is the proper thing to do and then of course It's the President's responsibility to do what he thinks." Bills Before Congress Several bills carrying wage increases for federal workers are before Congress. Holifield said figures show "terrible turnover In people who enter into government employ," particularly in the lower w age brackets. He said many postal workers have to take second Jobs to support thrlr families. Girls Nabbed After Hillcrest Escape Salem - (1TB - A pair from Hillcrest School for Girls es caped from a matron's custody Sunday after attending Easter services. They were picked up later In the day at Silverton. Expenses their families also are eligible for free care at military hos pitals provided space and fa cilities are available. It is per missible but not required that they be billed for their meals and for prescriptions, but this often is not done. Under the social security law, the federal government Law Requires Boats To Be Registered For Identification Washington - OJPD - Sailor, beware! If you own and operate any kind of a boat with an engine of more than 10 horespower, including outboards, your craft comes under a new federal-state certification law. The law went into effect April 1, but the. U.S. Coast Guard, which has overall ad ministration of the act, has ex tended the deadline for boat owners in eight states - New Mexico, Maryland, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Vir ginia, Georgia, and Massa chusetts. The new law requires boats to be registered with either the Coast Guard or a State agency approved by the Coast Guard. In states which have not passed a companion law to the federal act, boat own ers must pay a $3 registration fee to the Coast Guard. To Be Assigned Number The boat will then be as signed a number, which must be displayed on the boat at all times. A registration certifi cate will be issued which also must be kept on board when ever the boat is operating. For those states which have passed their own boat regis tration law - and the law has been approved by the Coast Guard - fees vary from state to state. The Coast Guard has been assigning registration num bers to large vessels since 1938. But the great postwar popularity of boating has seen enormous growth of the sport which has spread to every state. The Coast Guard empha sizes that the registration and numbering of small boats does 'I was astounded to find out that a letter carrier's wage is too low for him to qualify to buy an FHA $15,000 home," he said.

IB Paid by Federal Government nrovides matching funds to suDolement state Welfare Atrencv Relief payments for four types of needy persons: the aged, the blind, the dis abled and dependent chil dren. Relief payments may, and often do, include funds for medical care. Usually the med- not mean they are licensed by the Government-either State or Federal. The numbering is 'for identification purposes only. Must Report Accidents The new law also requires a report on boat accidents. If a death is involved, the acci dent must be reported to the nearest Coast Guard station within 48 hours. If the acci dent injured any person so as to incapacitate him for more that 72 hours, or resulted in physical damage in excess of $100, it must be reported within five days. Again, however, if a state has an appropriate numbering act, the report of accidents may be made with a state agency. Equip ment requirements for boats registered under the new law are similiar to those under the old. They include life preservers, lights for boats operating at night, fire extinguishers for boats over 28 fet long and a whistle or horn audible for two seconds up to a half a mile for boats over 16 feet long.

Indians and Eskimos Indians living on reserva tions and Eskimos in certain Alaskan villages are wards of the federal government, and may receive free medical care and hospitalization at facil ities provided by the U.S. Public Health Service. About 60,000 a year receive hospital treatment, and nearly 600, 000 receive out-patient care. Miscellaneous Groups Under the oldest of all fed eral medical programs, dating back to the administration of President John Adams, all members of the U.S. Mer chant Marine are entitled to free treatment at 14 hospitals maintained for that purpose by the U. S. Public Health Service. There are about 50, 000 U. S. Merchant sailors at present. Commissioned officers of the Public Health Service (there are 3,200 of them) and their families also get free care. Government civilian em ployees are treated at federal expense only if they are in jured on duty. Members of Congress and Cabinet officials who enter military hospitals, such as Walter Reed Medical Center or the Bethesda Naval Med ical Center, are billed at a rate of S22 a day for a private room. This charge covers all hospital services, including doctors, but does not include special nurses, for which the VIP patients are billed sep arately. As commander-in-chief of the armed forces, President Eisenhower is treated free ex cept for a daily ration charge of S1.20 for meals.
