Defended
WASHINGTON Wl Rep. Teague
(D-Texas) said Tuesday statistics
gathered by the U. S. Office of Ed
ucation support his contention that
no change should be made in the
GI training law for Korean War
veterans.
A survey by Uie. agency, Teague
said, "showed conclusively that
our program is not discriminating
against private or high tuition
schools."
"This should put an end to the
clamor for legislation to separate
subsistence and tuition payments
for the Korean vets," the Texan
added.
Teague. senior Democrat on the
House Veterans Committee, was a
proponent of the present plan
which gives Korean veterans
monthly lump sum payments to
finance their education.
This has been under fire from a
group of private universities who
contend they aren't getting their
share of GI trainees.

Protest 6th
Parking Plan
- The- suggested traffic regulation
plan at South 6th and Shasta Way
met with opposition Monday night
at city council opposition In tne
form of several South 6th business
men. - , . ' . - - - -The
proposal by the State High
way Commission Involves traffic
regulation lights and a no parking
area on both sides of the street
from Martin to a point 300 feet be
yond Shasta Way on South 6th.
Spokesman for the group was
Ben Adair (Adair's Furniture),
who told Council that the group
was specifically opposed to the
parking, restriction, which, they
claim, would impair their business.
Adair assurea council tnat tney
recognized there was a traffic prob
lem, but asked that a solution be
worked out without prohibiting
parking.
Lee Hendricks, druggist, took the
floor to tell council that the post
office sub-station, which he main
tains in his drug store, is not self
supporting, and, if his volume of
business were cut by a parking re
striction, it would probably be nec
essary to abolish this service to
the community. Hendricks said it
was only through customers drawn
by the postal service that he was
able to, maintain it.
Postmaster Chet Langslet veri
fied Hendricks' statements.
AGREEMENT TOLD
Other protesters included Dean
Hall (Dean Hall Lockers), the
Harry Beardsleys (apartment
house owners), Amil Nelson (Nel
son's Battery and Welding), Dr.
Robert Wood and Gene Williams
(Model Cleaners).
"Mrs. Beardsley reminded coun
cil that the State Highway Com

owners in the area two lanes of
traffic and one lane of narking. It
was with this understanding that
property owners gave the State the
right of way, she said. '

Northern Pike Caught In Cowlitz
River Raises Fishermen's Fears
PORTLAND iTP) The Oregon Game Commission expressed
some alarm Monday over a fish caught over the weekend in the
Cowlitz River of Washington. Biologists identified the fish as a
northern pike.
It is the first' of that voracious fish ever reported tn the
lower Columbia River watershed.
"Of all the fish that might be introduced, this engine ot
destruction is the worst," said Dr. John Rayner, who heads the
commission's fishery division.
The pike is native in the Great Lakes area and waters north
of that. They grow fast, reaching 36 inches In length and some
times weighing 25 to 30 pounds. A voracious eater, the pike has
been compared with the barracuda in fierceness.
Rayner expressed fear over what the pike might do to the
native salmon and trout population, if the pike becomes es
tablished. He said this pike obviously was planted in the Cowlitz, since
the pike lives only In fresh water and could not have made the
voyage by the ocean. It was caught near Kelso, and brought
to the commission by a fisherman who suspected It was a pike.
Rayner said the only question now is whether other pike were
planted at she same time.

Ike's Agenda
ed that he will recommend In a
before Congress in 'his "State bf 'ih'e
Union message Thursday will be
keyed to federal help.
"It is a program that does not
deal in pie-in-the-sky promises 10
all, nor bribes to a few, nor in
threats to. any," he declared. "It
is a program inspired by zeal for
the common good, decucaiea to we
welfare of every American family
whatever its means of livennooa
m he or Its social position or
its ancestral strain or its religious
affiliations."
In outlining the past year's ac
compllshments, he said ground-
work has been laid to sustain basic
prosperity "in the strong belief
that the federal government should
be prepared at all times ready
at a moment's notice to use every
proper means" toward that end.
He said a program of sound
planning and aggressive enterprise
must be accompanied by "a faith
which cannot be shaken by self-
appointed peddlers of gloom and
doom" In America's growth and
progress.
This was an obvious thrust at
some Democrats, like Senators
Douglas of Illinois and Kerr of
Oklahoma, who have said tne
country already Is in a recession
Land may be headed for a real de
pression.
Eisenhower claimed a halt in to
bogganing tarm prices as one of
the accomplishments of his admin
istration In its first year. Presum
ably he referred to an Agricul
ture Department report last week
which said that after months of
decline, average farm prices were
up slightly In mid-December.
Members of Congress said the
President had stressed in confer
ences on his program the need lor
action on the tarm front.
In this connection, It was report-
Local Bird Count Shows Familiar Feathers Missing

centrated on open water, were

Confesses
WASHINGTON (fl A young
Negro couple man and wife
were accused Tuesday of the theft
of $160,000 from the government's
Bureau of Engraving.
They were taken before U.S.
Commissioner Cyril F. Lawrence
for arraignment late in the day
hours after part of the money had
been recovered from a cache on a
Virginia farm.
Lawrence told reporters in ad
vance of the arraignment that pa
pers drawn up for presentation to
him named the pair as James Ru
fus Landls, 29, a former employe
of the wrapping department of the
Engraving Bureau, and his wife,
Mamie, 26, residents ot Washing
ton. Almost simultaneously with the
arraignment proceedings, Secret
Service Chief U. E. Baughman told
a news conference that Landls had
admitted planning and helping to
carry out the theft of 8,000 new
$20 bills from the bureau.
Baughman said $127,000 of the
loot had been recovered, with $33,

In one late cnange in ms speecn
last night, Eisenhower apparently
souirht to lay stress on actions al'
ready taken to ward off an eco
nomic decline, inciuaing a pio
gram to tunnel some defense work
into areas where there is large
unemployment.
As distributed by the White
House, the President's text had
him giving assurance that "every
legitimate means available to the
federal government that can be
used to sustain , , , prosperity for
this purpose will be used if necessary."
Later, the text was revised and
the President changed the word
ing slightly again in delivering it
to say that every such means "is
being used and will continue to
be used as necessary."
The President expressed confi
dence that the program he will re
quest of the 'session of Congress
which opens tomorrow will meet
with the approval of the people.
He said he hoped it would enlist
support in both parties bv cause ol
its purpose of promoting tne wei-

Observing that no group of Amer

division into factions and hostile
groups.

"And this administration is com

he Is committing himself to the

"I hope his specific messages
to Congress prove that Is not true,"
