Highlight of President's Talfe Washington -(DPI)- Follow' Ing are highlights of Presi dent Eisenhower's State of the Union Message: , The pasii "Throughout the world the years since 1953 have been a period of pro found change . . . during the period, the United States has forged ahead under a con structive foreign policy. The continuing goal is peace, lib erty, and wellbelng - for eth ers as well as ourselves , . . Here at home these have been times for careful adjustment of Our economy from the arti ficial impetus of a hot war to constructive growth in a pre carious peace. While building a new economic vitality with out inflation, we have also in creased public expenditures to keep abreast of the needs Capitol Memo Prompting Device Stops Turning in Middle of Speech Bv DOUGLAS GRIPP United Press International Salem - (UPD - Gov. Mark Hatfield has indicated he may never again use an electrical prompting device In deliver ina maior speeches. At least that is how he felt Monday when the one he was using to deliver his message to the 1961 Oregon legislature quit on him. The automatic roller appa ratus - hand -controlled and the size of a wax paper box- suddenly stopped t u r n 1 n f when Hatfield was in the mid die of a paragraph on the SuDreme Court. Unruffled, he took a sip of water while a state policeman in plain clothes slipped him a typed text of the speech, al ready turned to the right page. Hatfield went on speaking and few of the hundreds of guests In the house chamber were the wiser. The aide was In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In Washington, the congress of the United States is as sembling to make a lot of new laws. All over me na tion, in this odd-numbered year, state legislatures are meeting to grind out batches of now laws. tipped off that Hatfield was in trouble because the prompter made a slight whirring noise when it became stuck. Although the governor made a perfect dry run with the machine at home the Sat urday before, the extra script was handy for Just such an emergency. The slowly turning prompt er was hidden from the aud ience. Hatfield has used similur devices before and has been plagued with mechanical troubles. Although Monday's incident was hardly notice able, Hatfield was a bit dis turbed afterward, "Let's just say he is disen chanted with them,'' a spokes man said. WELL, from time to time, of course, we need new laws to meet new situations. We can't say no now laws should be passed. That would mean stagnation. - But, at ; this season, this thought is apt to occur to a lot of us: The BIO thing we need Is thoughtful, Intelligent, efficient enforcement of the laws we have-along with con slant scrutiny of them to make sure they were genuine ly needed when they were passed and that they haven't since got OUT OF DATE. Maybe if we had FEWER laws we'd respect them more. ONE of the really big stories of the past few days is that of the little girl in Las Vegas (age 3) who was critic ally burned over 80 per cont of her body when the cigar ette lighter she was playing with set fire to her clothes. As her case was diagnosed, only tho B negative blood of someone who had been burn ed ovor at least 20 per cont of the body could help her. Such blood, the doctors hope, contains antl-bodles that will heln little Julia pull through Tho appeal for donation of such blood went out over ine nation by air, by print and by word of mouth. Ten per sons, meeting the specifics Hons, responded. They volun- tccrd instantly, They were flown to Las Vegas yester day, so that each could do nate a pint ol biooo oi ine kind that was needed. AS THIS Is written, little Julia Isn't yet out of the woods, to we don't know whethor or not the story will have a happy ending. But, at this point, we can quote one of the donors-Bill Nolle, of Cherry Valley, California. He put It this way: "It's very seldom Unit a person passing through this world gets a chance to do something as worthy as this." The others, each with his tale of suffering surrounding the history of his own burns, gave similar motives for mak ing the trip. THIS world of highly perfected communications, where the drop of a pin al. most anywhere can be heard around the globe, we hear a lot about what the bad peo ple do. For some reason, we hear less about what the GOOD people do, Porlmps we pay more attention to the bad than to the good, Let's not be misled. There aro FAR MORE good people In the world than bad people. A FINAL thought: Cigarette lighters shouldn't be left around wlfc'ro three-year-olii tots can play with them. They are Oftturlly fascinating. It is iaeot i4 'iti 8ee tlft flan Vat , '' right jieoar . Only one other incident oc curred during pomp of the legislature's opening. When three former gover nors were escorted to the house rostrum it was found they had no seats. The three - former Govs. Robort D. Holmes of Portland, Elmo Smith of Albany and Charles A. Spragne of Salcm wcre quickly seated to the left of the rostrum. Few people realized the change. Fourth Man Bound Over To Grand Jury Veryl Leroy Biggins, 28, of 122 Kenwood ave., was bound over to the grand jury yes terday on a charge of bur glary not In a dwelling In volving the Oakdale super market and one charge of grand larceny. A preliminary hearing will be scheduled in district court on the other charge of grand larceny Involving the theft of a pickup truck. The other charge of grand lar ceny involves the theft of equipment and tools used in the burglary from the Mem ory Gardens Memorial park near Mcdford. Biggins was one of four men caught by Medford police early Sunday in the act of a safe burglary at the super market at 401 Oakdale ave. The three others waived a preliminary hearing and right to a lawyor and wore bound over to the grand jury after appearing In district court Tuesday, Biggins, who had re quested tin attorney, appeared with Medford Attorney George W, Rode. All four men are being held In the county Jail In lieu of $1,500 ball on each of the three charges, two on grand lurcony and one on burglary not In a dwelling. WASHING A NUISANCE Vienna -IUrD-Alfred Hlnter mcier, 21, was scnlonced Wed nesday to one your In jail for deserting the Austrian army, He sh id he went AWOL be cause he didn't want to wash every morning. He'll finish his army hitch when he gets out of jail. i ; a ' lin of a growing population and its attendant new problems. The future: "A new presi dent shortly will lay before you his proposals to shape the future of our great land. To him, every citizen, whatever his political beliefs, prayer fully extends best wishes for good health and lor wisdom and success in coping with the problems that confront our nation." Foreign problems: "Abroad, there is the continuing Com munist threat to the freedom of Berlin, an explosive situa tion in Laos, the problems caused by Communist pene tration of Cuba as well as the many problems connected with the development of the new nations in Africa. These areas, In particular, call for delicate handling and con stant review." Domestic problems: "At home, several conspicuous problems remain; Promoting higher levels of employment, with special emphasis on areas In which heavy unem ployment has persisted; con tinuing to provide for steady economic growth and preserv ing a sound currency; bring ing our balance of payments Into more reasonable equilib rium and continuing a high level of confidence in our na tional and international sys terns; eliminating heavily ex cessive surpluses of a few farm commodities; and over coming deficiencies in our health and educational pro grams." Defense; "For the first time In our nation's history we have consistently maintained in peacetime, military forces of a magnitude sufficient to deter and if need be, to des troy predatory forces in the world . . . We must not return to the crash - program psy chology of the past when each new feint by the Communists was responded to in panic. The 'bomber gap' of several years ago was always a fic tion, and the 'missile gap' shows every sign of being the same." The economyi "Although in termittent declines in eco nomic activity persist as a problem in our enterprise sys tem, recent downturns have been moderate and of short duration. There is, however, little room for complacency Currently our economy is op erating at high levels, but un employment rates are higher than any of us would like and chronic pockets of high unemployment persist," Spending: "Resort to defi cit financing in prosperous times could easily erode in ternational confidence in the dollar and contribute to infla tion at home. In this belief, I shall submit a balanced bud get for fiscal 1962 to the Con gress next week. Com,munitt "Although, un happily, Communist penetra tion of Cuba is real and poses a serious threat, Communist dominated regimes have been deposed In Guatemala and Iran . . , Despite constant threats to its Integrity, West Berlin has remained free This country has continued to withhold recognition of Com munist China and to oppose vigorously the admission of this belligerent and unrepent ant nation Into the United Nations, SUFFERS RECURRENCE Dr. Thomas A.

Navy Exempts Marines Frwn Dependent Order Washington --IUPD- The Navy has exempted tho Marine Corps from a presidential or der to reduce Ihe number ol military dependents overseas. The Navy said Wednesday the Lcajhernecks "have al ways hud the most stringent Igjiltations" on permitting families accompany their men. Hh Close to Ike Irritated Over JFK's Pessimism Washington - (UPD - The White House is keeping quiet but men close to President Elsenhower are irritated over what they consider business dampening pessimism in the camp of President-elect John F. Kennedy. "Some statements of confi dence on their part would be worth billions of dollars to the economy," snapped one of Ei senhower's most trusted fiscal advisors in a private conver sation. This official said that the Budget Bureau has '"worked hard" to keep the current budget out of the red despite sagging lax revenues, and to draw up a balanced budget for fiscal 1982, which starts next July 1. Live Within Means The new budget-Eisenhower's last and one which Ken nedy is expected to amend widely - will restate Eisen hower's deep conviction that government should live with in its means, shunning budg et aexiciis except in me uircsi i t,.n,,mct',nau I It will speak of tax cuts only in a general way and reaffirm Elsenhower's belief that re duction of the national debt should come before general tax relief. Officials said the new budg et, which will go to Congress Monday, would envision a surplus for fiscal 1962 of about $1.5 billion, with revenue forecast at a record in the range of $83 billion. The administration will say flatly in the budget message that it expects a business up turn to develop in the first three months of 1961. Most other economists have been more cautious, predicting that business would begin to ad vance by mid-year. With release of the last Ei senhower budget only, a few days away, officials are mak ing no secret of the fact that the retiring President will re new requests which Congress has ignored in the past. He again will propose: -Higher postal rates, to wipe out the post office's $750 million annual operating defi cit. v -A 4V4 cent a gallon tax on motor and aviation gaso line and jet fuels. The tax on gasoline is now four cents a gallon and it is due to drop to three cents July 1. Jet fuel is untaxed. -Federal encouragement of college housing in the form of bond guarantees and grants to cover part of costs. Con gressional Democrats have fell this proposal was Inade quate. The administration Is also going to propose a new pro gram of stockpiling of med ical supplies and higher mili tary spending, especially in tho missile, space exploration and atomic submarine areas. Honeymooners' Story Now Told . ' Dallas, Tex, -IUPD- Clifford Marshall Hall and his bride, Suzan, aro away on their hon eymoon trip so the bride's father figured its safe today to tell what happened. It was a cold, wet day in Dallas last Saturday and Su zan arrived at the Lovers Lane Methodist church with just enough time to check her veil and pat the skirt of her satin and lace wedding dress. H. G. Twyman, her father, offered his arm and with the first notes of the wedding march, they began down the aisle. Then the bride suddenly became aware that her dad was making a kind of gasping noise. "Suzy," Twyman said he whispered. You forgot to take oft your galoshes." "Hi!
