Eisenhower Not
To Take Russian's
Attacks Lightly
West Point, N.Y.-IUPll-Presi-denl
Eisenhower left it plain
today after two week end
speeches that he won't take
Nikita S. Khrushchev's at
tacks on him and the Western
world lying down.
Taking the counter-offensive,
the Chief Executive de
clared in an off-the-cuff talk
to Republicans at a dinner
here Saturday night that the
Soviet premier's "illlempered
expressions" have brought the
West closer together than at
any time since he took office.
Spying Held Proper
Without mentioning it di
rectly Eisenhower defended
the role of the United States
in sending U2 planes across
Russia on spy missions, stat
ing the Soviets live in a so
ciety of secrecy "which we
try to penetrate, and in my
opinion properly."
He touched on the Khru
shchev tirades again Sunday
at Notre Dame Uuniversity nt
South Bend, Ind., where he
flew on a quick one-day plane
trip to make the commence
ment address. In his speech
he did not mention Khrush
chev's name but his intention
was clear.
Appeals for Aid Program
"The enemies of human dig
nity lurk in a thousand places
in governments that have
become spiritual wastelands,
and in leaders that brandish
angry epithets, slogans and
satellites," he said.
He delivered this statement
following an appeal for back
ing for his embattled $4,175,
000,000 foreign aid program.
The President, who flew
here from Washington Satur
day, returned from his brief
side trip to Notre Dame Sun
day night to join in a sump
tuous supper with his 1915
West Point classmates at the
nearby farm of Gene Leone,
a former New York restaura
teur. Portland - IUPII - Five U.S.
Navy minesweepers will ar

Ways Areas May
Be Annexed Told
There are three different
ways an area may be annexed
to Medford, City Attorney
Joel B. Reeder said today.
'Reeder Was referring to the
area southwest of Medford
which is having the problem
of spetic tank discharge into
Medford Irrigation district
ditches and laterals. Area resi
dents are considering annexa
tion to Medford as one pos
sible solntion.
The method used most gen
erally, Reeder said is to ob
tain signatures of 100 per cent
of the area's property owners
who would consent to have
their area annexed without
holding an election. The peti
tions would be presented to
the city planning commission
and then to the city council,
the city attorney said.
Another method is to de
termine the area which should
be annexed and hold two elec
tions, one in the city and one
in the area to be annexed. A
second method is to dispense
with the city election and
only hold one in the area.
A committee formed Friday
night during a public meet
ing in the courthouse is to
consider possible solutions to
the problem of sewage in ir
rigation ditches and report
back during a June 17 meet
ing in the courthouse. District
Attorney Thomas J. Reeder
said today that the city may
be under a moral obligation to
annex the area, "but certainly
would not be under an obliga
tion to do so."
Platform
where he will assume a Job
similar to his present one.
Katherine Baalman, special
education instructor, has re
ceived a fellowship at Syra
cuse university where she will
serve as part-time instructor
on the college staff.
Economy Move
Positions of assistant coun
ty superintendent and ele
mentary curriculum coordi
nator were eliminated by the
Jackson county rural school
board in what was termed a
'major economy move to re
duce the budget of the county
school superintendent's of
fice."
"Since California salaries
are generally higher than
those in Oregon, this post will
afford Hitt an opportunity
for further advanced study as
well as allowing for profes
sional advancement," com
mented County School Super
intendent Al B. Mekvold. .
. "Lawrence's new- job as
Lincoln school principal pro
vides professional - advance
ment and salary increase,"
Mekvold added. "Lawrence
will have an opportunity to
serve as an instructor on the
Southern Oregon college dur
ing summer sessions, also."
Hayes' new job will allow
him extra work as instructor
for the general extension di
vision of the state system of
higher education, the county
superintendent said.
Katherine Baalman's new
position will allow her to
serve as part-time instructor
while working on advanced
studies on special education
curriculum. She plans to re
turn to Oregon after her
work, Mekvold said.

Defense Budget
Boost Forecast
By Legislators
Increased Spending
By Military Seen
Washington - IUPD - An in
crease of up to $1 billion in
President Eisenhower's $39,.
335,000,000 defense budget
was forecast today by legisla
tors concerned about new
East-West tensions.
The Senate Appropriations
committee starts Tuesday
drafting the measure to fi
nance the armed forces in the
fiscal year beginning July 1.
It is the largest money bill of
the year.
Well - informed lawmakers
said the summit collapse and
intensified cold war difficul
ties could result in the Senate
committee adding about a
billion dollars to the defense
program.
Rep. George H. Mahon (D-
Tex.) chairman of the House
defense appropriations sub
committee, also indicated Sun
day that the more acrimoni
ous international climate
might prompt Congress to in
crease military funds.
Nothing Spectacular Seen
But Mahon said he did not
look for "anything spectacu
lar or drastic" in the way of
increased spending as a result
of the breakup of the summit
conference.
The House, acting as the
U2 incident was unfolding
last month, approved a $39,-
337,867,000 defense money
bill. The total was only $2,
867,000 above the President's
budget estimates, but major
changes were made in defense
spending programs.
The House junked the
Navy's proposed new aircraft
carrier and doubled the ad
ministration's proposed cut
back in the Bomarc air de
fense missile. With the money
saved, it accelerated the Po
laris program for missile fir
ing submarines and increased
funds for an airborne alert
and anti-fubmarine warfare.

ing of new tariffs on or after
June 30.
Hill said the proposed tariff
changes- will eliminate dis
criminatory aspects of exist

charges to certain shippers
through the elimination of
combined rates and the appli

rate from Salem to Portland
plus the applicable rate from
Portland to Pendleton.
The new tariffs will in gen
eral result in increased rates
but a number of reductions
will occur by reason of the
elimination of combined rates
over junction points.

points as Salem and Cascade

Grants Pass and La Grande
