K1LG0RE (of Ohio who is now olavinc a t United Press International waiting eame j WASHINGTON (UPI)-"Some The game is whether his Re 4ny there will be a judgment." publican successor, Gov. James j These are the words of de- j A. Rhodes, will feel the wrath ttroned politician-former Dem-1 of the Ohio voters as did the tcratic Gov. Michael V. DiSalle ! rotund little man who was con troversial director of the much' hated Office of Price Stabiliza tion back in the Truman ad ministration. DiSalle made clear in a UPI interview that he was not em bittered bv the outcome of the T ALKS TO STUDENTS - Michael V. DiSalle, students at University of Massachusetts, where former Ohio governor (L), is shown here DiSalle was professor of practical politics, talking to members of faculty and graduate (UPI) I election that returned him to private life involuntarily. "I've been in politics long enough to know you can't look back," he said. "And Rhodes hasn't been in office long enough for me to tell how he's doing. But I'm keeping a file of his actions compared with mine in similar circumstances, and some day there will be a judgment." The 55-year-old former gover nor now heads Reston. a "fu ture city" being built near Dulles International airport in nearby Virginia. He spends about two davs a week at his job and commutes to Columbus, the Ohio state capital, where he and his wife, Myrtle, reside. Children Gone "We have an apartment on the first floor of a building and my law office is on the top floor," he said. "The kids are pretty well gone now and we have 13 grandchildren. So we've got a place just big enough for us and for everyone to come and see us." DiSalle also forayed into the academic world since departing the Ohio statehouse. Under a i Ford Foundation grant, he as sumed a professorship in prac tical politics at the University of Massachusetts. Gov. Rhodes called his vic tory "a return to fiscal respon sibility in the statehouse." Along with DiSalle went all Democrats who had been elected to state office. The new governor has at tracted national attention with his economies wholesale fir ing of state employees, lower welfare subsidies, and a firm stand against new or increased taxes. DiSalle had pushed through a tax hike of nearly $:00 million at the start of his single term in 1959. He said Rhodes had criticized him "for hiring too many people and having too big a state payroll." "Well," DiSalle added today. oMwwood QJJ DIET BREAD "what's he going to do about all the workers he has laid oil .' ! He sacked men with 10 to 15 years accrued under civil serv-1 ice career employees with no place else to go." i Rhodes has said that em ployees who feel they were fired indiscriminately have the right of appeal. "But where do they go?" Di Salle asked again. "Under Ohio law, the ultimate appeal goes to the governor's office and that takes years. Some little guy who is making $8,000 a year can't wait around to be ulti mately told his appeal was turn ed down by the man who fired him." DiSalle indicated he would not turn down a re-entry into politics if the opportunity arose, but he said he is not seeking anything. He said he has writ ten a book, due to be published this fall, on capital punishment. He said he has another one in the works on the seven vice presidents who ascended to the presidency. Opposes Deallli Penalty His views against capital pun ishment kept him in hot water much of the time he was in office. "But the papers onlv made a big thing out of the prisoners I kept out of the (electric) chair," he said. They plaved down the ones whose sentence I refused to commute." DiSalle is well known in poli tical circles and was popular in an unpopular job when he handled wage and price con trols after World War II. He has visited President Ken nedy several times since his return to Washington last winter and it is known that the White House has consulted him on pa tronage appointments for Ohio. Looking to the 1964 presiden tial election, DiSalle said: "I think California and Ohio are going to be the key states in the election. There is no doubt that Ohio will be the most hotly contested state and it could well he thp Hwiriinp farlnr in Ihp PrpiHpnt' win " ! Will DiSalle work for a Demo cratic victory in Ohio? "I haven't been asked yet," he replied. Butler in Private Consultation With Prime Minister Anchorage 'Feels' Speeding Plane ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) The Alaskan Air Command (AAC) at Elmcndorf AFB con firmed Wednesday that a sonic boom which shook homes and rattled windows in this area shortly before 11 p.m. AST Tuesday was caused by the Air Tokyo-to-England speed record. The boom was heard and felt widely in this area. City police said they received 50 calls with in a few minutes after the boom and another 100 calls throughout the night from residents asking about the cause. The AAC said it had no in formation about the altitude or speed of the plane as it passed over the Anchorage area. Many residents reported hear ing a lesser boom a few min utes ahead of the louder noise. LONDON (UPI) Deputy Prime Minister R. A. Butler spent 45 minutes in private con sultation with retiring Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to day in the Conservative party's continuing search for a new leader. One week after Macmillan en tered a hospital for surgery and announced he was quitting as party leader and premier, Butler appeared to be the like liest choice among half a doz en contenders. But political ob servers remained divided on this and some commentators were beginning to suggest sar castically that the best solu tion would be for Macmillan himself to remain. The staunchly Conservative Daily Express trumpeted in a headline, "What a fight but why don't they bring back Mac millan?" Brrmning Exhausted Macmillan himself, recuper ating from a prostatic opera tion, appeared to be coming both emotionally and physical ly exhausted by the strain of the leadership crisis. For three days he has been receiving in his King Edward VII Hospital room a steady parade of cabi net ministers and party strate gists seeking a way out of the deadlock that apparently has split the party wide open. With a general election due within the next 12 months, the pressure on the party to come to terms with itself was tre mendous. S i r John Richardson, Mac millan's physician, appeared worried by the demands of the crisis on his patient. He told newsmen today the 69-year-old ! prime minister was "very tried j and this is directly the result of the continuous consultations that have gone on since very shortly after the operation." Declines Comment Butler emerged smiling from his session with Macmillan but declined any comment other than to say, "there is a lot of work to do." At least three candidate be sides Butler were rated still in the running. They are Science Minister Lord Hailsham, Chan cellor of the Exchequer Rcgi Sccretary Lord Home. But London newspapers today agreed for the first time since Uie race began that the 60-ycar- nlH RnMer was prnwinp I stronger. Dinner To Honor Senator Morse BEAVERTON (UPI) - Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., was to be honored at a dinner here to night in observance of his 63rd birthday. It is sponsored by the Washington County Democratic Central Committee. Morse spoke at the Univer sity of Oregon's Charter Day observance in Eugene Wednes day, and said so many students will be trying to enter colleges and universities by 1980 that present institutions should be : doubled in size. He also said there would be i need for 1,000 new institutions I with a capacity of 2,500 students each. Morse said, "If people tell me that all we have to do is raise the standards and keep out the crowds of students, I say in answer, 'the standards are already too high.' " He added "We are cheating tens of thousands of students now because they lack the means to get a higher educa tion." Morse, Bend Bulletin Associ ate Editor Phil Brogan and Dr. Kenneth Swan of the University Medical School, were honored at the Charter Day observance. Morse's plane was delayed by fog and he missed the 10 a.m. convocation, but spoke at a 3 p.m. assembly. .even less calories per diet slice than half a grapefruit Praise be!
