THE EXTRA CARE LINE tinent's newest and most pop ulous country. Sir Abubakar, the prime minister of the federation of Nigeria, said that the path the new nations of sub-Sahara Africa take, however, will "depend on the needs of the country." . . The tall! ascetic Negro leader of 35 million persons said: "The colonial powers are relinquishing a u t h o rity in Africa and they have intro duced the democratic system of government - and we think this form will continue." Attracts Attention Sir Abubakar talked to United Press International during his three-day visit to the United States to attend the entrance of Nigeria into the United Nations. . The 42-year old former teacher, born in the northern Nigerian village of Tawafa Balewa, is the son of a district commissioner under British colonial rule. His stance during his stay in the U. S. indicated that he would leave the louder, more emotional political tactics to the others. , He attracted great attention wherever he went. The flow ing, colorful robes and caps worn by Sir Abubakar and most of the members of his official party marked them clearly as African. - - ', . His nation was the latest of 16 African countries, most of them former French colonies, to be admitted to the world body during the current gen eral assembly, Nigeria, a federation of three autonomous regions, gained its independence from Great Britain on Oct. 1: The country, a sprawling, divers ified, land below the bulge of the West African coastline, moved smoothly and calmly to nationhood. Contrast To Congo The noise of the gigantic independence-day celebration was conspicuous for its hap piness, a marked contrast to the newly independent Congo republic. The Congo's separ ation from Belgium . which took place last June 30, set off a bloody series of inter-racial and inter-tribal clashes. Sir- Abubaker returned to his homeland last week, after having spent three days in the United States and three days in London. His brief trip to the U: S. took him from diplomatic meetings and official lunch eons at the U. N.- to a one hour talk with President Eis enhower in Washington.: ; . Picture of Great Hope . The picture in Nigeria, as explained by the tall, delib erate Moslem, is one of great hope for the .future. It con trasted sharply with the situ ation in the Congo. "We have qualified peo ple," he said, "and we have experienced people - although we have need of more. "We haven't got everything we need. But we are provided for." Sir Abubakar, In a speech made on arriving in the U. S., said that the policy of Nigeria will be to "follow the path of truth from whatever quar ter it comes." He said that the nation would be against "blocs," but was for the UN. Hospital Costs To Continue Up Gearhart - (WD - The execu tive director of the National Hospital Association, Dr. Ed win L. Crosby, said Monday hospital costs are going to continue to rise, but that edu cation costs have gone up twice as fast. Dr. Crosby told the Oregon Hospital Association's 26th annual convention that hos pital costs have gone up five per , cent a year for the past five years. He said the in creases mostly reflected the increase in the cost of living. By comparison, he said, the cost of educating a pupil in school has gone up 200 per cent in the past 10 years while the cost of the hospital patient has risen only 100 per cent. "Hospital bills do not seem unreasonable when these facts are known and the good qual ity of care given in most of our hospitals is considered," he said. 56 Per Cent of GP Payrolls in Oregon , Portland - IUPD - Owen R. Cheatham, chairman of the board of Georgia - Pacific Corp. said Monday that the firm's total payrolls of about $50 million annually, 56 per cent was in Oregon. He told; the Chamber of Commerce that Georgia Paci fic's total employees number more than 11,000, of. which 6,500 are, in Oregon. "'. . , Cheatham said the firm pays but about $26 million a year for goods and 'services of which 46 per cent is in Ore gon. He said that the firm would continue to employ a timber philosophy which would as sure continued success. "Some people call it perpetual growth; some call it sustain ed yield. But I would like to coin a new term which seems to more vividly and fully describe the process. I would like to call it 'dynamic con servation.' " : ; ,: . Oxford, Miss.-IUPII-Funeral services were held Monday for Mrs. Maud Butler Faulk ner, 88, mother of Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner. . ' Kennedy Disadvantage For One of Religion Dallas, Tex. - (UPD -The presidential race is still so close in Texas that either can didate could come up with a gimmick to catch the atten tion and favor of the voters and win the state's 24 elec toral votes. The most unbiased political observers in Texas-the bookmakers-quote the odds as 6-5 for Nixon. It's at least that close in a state where all state officials are Democrats, - the legislature is 100 per cent Democratic and only one con gressman is a Republican. Sen: John F. Kennedy's big gest disadvantage is his Cath olic religion. Texas' one mil lion voting Baptists don't like the idea of a Catholic in the White House. Re-Entry Helped Nixon The recent re-entry of Allan Shivers, who was governor four terms, into politics, cer tainly helped rjixon. It was Shivers who led the Demo cratic state executive commit tee into the Eisenhower camp in 1952. ( He supported Eisenhower in 1956 and he is now support ing Nixon. He has explained all three bolts by saying he is "putting Texas ahead of the Demcrratic party." Shivers soothes the political consciences of many old-line Democrats who find it hard to turn Republican, no matter how much they like the GOP's candidates and plat form. . . There is a strong rivalry be tween Shivers and Sen. Lyn don B. Johnson of Texas, the Democratic vice presidential candidate. Johnson took the state party leadership away from Shivers in 1956. Shivers is a handsome man, a master, or sarcasm and a clever campaigner. ' When Gerald Mann, direc tor of the Kennedy-Johnson campaign in Texas, accused him of not really being for either party, Shivers replied: "You mean old Jerry Mann, the TCU football player? Whatever happened to him?" ' Mann tfayed football at SMU - not TCU - and is a former attorney, general, ' Voted to Support On the other hand, a group of Negro businessmen, profes sional men and lawyers met recently in Austin, the state capital, and voted 44-14 to support Kennedy. : The Negro leaders voted on a motion introduced by C. B. Bunklcy Jr., of Dallas, who, at first, included only' Ken nedy's name in his motion. After some argument, Bunk ley agreed to include John son's name. - The Negroes voted down a proposal not to endorse either ticket. Arguing for the propo sal, J. L. Thomas of Byan said: "The Democratic party promises you turkey and cran berry sauce but when you ask Back Stairs: Help for Minnesota GOP By WILLIAM J. EATON Red Wing, M i n n. fllPD Back stairs with the travleing White House: President Eisenhower's ap pearance here today may help Minnesota Republicans put the Indian sign on the Demo crats in the Gopher State this fall. The President's participa tion in dedication ceremonies for the Hiawatha Bridge over the Mississippi River has been billed in advance as "non-political." But Minnesota and neigh boring Wisconsin are listed as "battleground" states in the race between Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy to succeed Eisenhower in the White House. , Any appearance of the President in the midst of the election campaign automati cally helps the Republicans even if he doesn't make stump speeches, political pro fessionals believe. GOP officials are hoping that this theory also will prove true in the critical states of Michigan, Califor nia and Texas. The President making appearances in each of them during his 6,728 -mile cross-country speaking tour. Quotes From the News BY UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Phoenix, Ariz.

Detroit President Eisenhower, if the Russian claim of surpassing the United States in production is ever filled: "We would prefer poverty in freedom to riches In slavery."
