Daylight Time
SALEM IB Standard time will
be official In Oregon this summer.
Governor McKay late Tuesday
snld facts failed to warrant a
switch to daylight saving time.
A year ago his finding was the
reverse of that and the state then
had daylight time.
The governor, in making his
1953 announcement, said that in
view of the facts, he could not "con
scientiously proclaim daylight sav
ing time for the state of Oregon."
That, officially, Is Uie last word
before Sunday when the eastern
part of the country, California, Nev
ada nnd some cities of Washington,
switch to summer time.
Unofficially, a movement start
ed In Portland to get a switch to
daylight time on a voluntary basis
in tne city.
Cltv Commissioner J, E. Bennett
said he would put the matter be
fore the city council immediately,
but Deputy City Attorney Marion
Rushing said the state law bound
the city. The state law prohibits
daylight time unless the governor
proclaims 11.
Representatives of Portland

Wednesday meeting to see whether
they shouldn t go on daylight time

CONCENTRATION .
Fischer figured the deer kill Is
concentrated on about 34,000 acres,
and prorated from discoveries this
weekend would make the. kill stand
at about 5000 deer.
This does not, according to Rogue
River District Ranger R. L. Cooi
er. who made the deer tour, take
Into consideration the losses which
may have occurred outside the con
centrated area, nor those occurring
since the weather has moderated
and the concentrations have spread
out.
The areas checked were both
north of the big Modoc burn of
last summer, but there may have
been a tew more deer on those
browsing lands because of the
shortage of food In the burn one
of the best feed districts of the
Interstate herd.
Tule Hospital
Verdict Eyed
TULELAKE--There was strong
lndicaUon here today that Siskiyou
County's Board of Supervisors isn't
going to support the Joint hospital
plan proposed recently.
Modoc Supervisor Jim Stearns
and Mayor Dick Moore. Tulelake,
have scheduled a trip to Yreka to
attend tne next sisnyou meeting.
They hope to get a final yes of
no at that time.
The hospital as proposed would
have had 16 beds, and would have
serviced Northwestern Modoc and
Northeastern Siskiyou counties. At
present the closest county Hospitals
to the Tulelake and Butte Valley
areas are in-AUuras and Yreka
both several hours drive away.
The Modoc County Board of Sup
ervisors nad been giving strong
support to the plan. The hospital
would have been Jointly financed
by the two counties, with federal
and state aid expected.

Elsenhower-for-President leaders
staked a claim Wednesday to the
lion's share of Republican presidential-nominating
votes In New
York and Pennsylvania, where the
general scored lop-sided election
victories Tuesday. -
In the Pennsylvania popularity
poll. Gen. Elsenhower drew 825,923

posts from the Pittsburgh area. Ei
senhower forces led 6 to 2.
Taft's name was not on the bal
lothe kept it off and urged his
supporters not to write it in and
his backers called the results
"meaningless."
But Eisenhower leaders hoped
this showing, plus 17.712 votes the
general drew among Democrats
might bring the state's 70 votes
his way at tne uuf nominating
convention in July.
NEW YORK
In New York, friends of Eisen
hower won seven ot li primary con
tests, indicating he will receive at
least 85 of the state s 96 conven
tion votes.
Taft backers won three and one
was undecided. The results seemed
to strengthen the hand of Gov.

Republican presidential nominee.

Big Business 1
WASHINGTON, tm Sen. Morse
(R.-Ore.) Wednesday accused the
steel Industry and big business in
