Ike Backs Missouri Water Plan WASHINGTON tf President Eisenhower has stepped In person ally to defend strongly his admin Istratlon's new policy on selling' federal power In the Missouri Ba- ein. The policy has been heatedly at tacked by some legislators and, In recent congressional hearings, by spokesmen for rural electric cooperatives. The main accusation has been that the new policy, through al lowing long-terms contracts with Horses Win Out Over All Experts As Philadelphia Mail Problem Studied PHILADELPHIA The post Office Department, after an ex haustive survey of the compara tive merits of the horse and wagon versus mechanized transportation for center city mail delivery has ruled in favor of old Dobbin. Attempts to supplant the horse drawn mail wagons in the Quaker City are as common as Jokes about the horrid taste of the wntcr. About every four years, effi ciency experts, armed with charts, time-pieces and other modern pnr aphernalia set out to prove that the horseless buggy is far super ior to the percberon for transpor- Morse Raps Ike Message WASHINGTON MY The renc- ition of Washington and Oregon pnembers of Congress to President Eisenhower's State of tho Union message Thursday ranged from un qualified approval to lukewurm praise and included a charge by Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) the address ivas a "masterpiece of platitudes." ' Sen. Cordon (R-Ore said the message was "exactly what the Iramers of Uie Constitution envi sioned when they provided for Uie President to give his views to Con gress. . While saying he was in "broad igreement" on foreign policy and mtlonal defense, Sen. Jackson (1 rVash) said he held reservations on ilie nation's ability to reduce ap ropriations for national defense. Jackson said the President's tatcment of conservation of re iources left him "terribly dlsap ioimea." i "The people of the Northwest," e said, -"cannot draw any en-! uuragement from the President's lessage Insofar as power and wa- !

Each time they've been given the horse laugh and gone away beaten men, their faith in progress and modern science badly shaken. Washington set out last year on another survey. The Post Office Department's bureau of facilities mado tlmo and motion studies in Uie central city area. It timed the horse-drawn wagons against truck delivery in the cen ter city area. It compared these statistics with past experiments. There were lots of comparative statistics because this thing has been going on for 30 years. Their decision made the hardiest of them weep: There's Just no better way to get the mall through central city traf fic snarls than by horse and wagon. It takes a horse and wagon to get through narrow back streets to the rear entrances of business establishments. What's more and here's the beauty of it all no worry about parking problems.

Solons Demand More Tax Cuts Than Outlined In Ike Message To Congress By CIIARMCS F. BARRETT WASHINGTON President Ei senhower's tax program lell iar short today of satisfying strong ap petites on Capitol Hill for tax cuis in this Congressional election year. Almost to a man, both Republi cans and Democrais on the House Ways and Means Committee, where all tax bills must start, called lor more or bigger reductions than the President proposed. One influential Republican. Ren. Richard M. Simpson (Pa), said to day he would favor a sweeping slash of all excise taxes except on liquor and tobacco down to 10 per cent. Rates on many items now run from 15 to 25 per cent. Eisenhower, in his state ol the union address yesterday, declared further reductions in taxes can and will be made ... as additional reductions in expenditures are brought gradually but surely Into sight." But the President didn't hint when, or where, new cuts might come. And he renewed a plea for Con gress to cancel three billion dol lars In annual tax reductions now set automatically for April 1. These cuts would apply to corporation in comes and excises on liquor, auto mobiles, gasoline, cigarettes, beer, wine and sporting goods. House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. R-Mass) conceded Uie tax pro- private utilities for government power, endangers the traditional priority cooperatives and public agencies have had to federally pro duced energy as "preference" cus tomers. But Eisenhower took ft sharp stand of disagreement with the policy's opponents in a letter made public Friday. In the letter, writ ten to Sen. Hunt (D-Wyo), the President said flatly: "It is clear that no preference customer's rights could possibly be jeopardized." "In the interest of every tax payer," the President said, "it is essential that when the new power in the Missouri Basin comes into production in 11154 such power be put to use and converted into rev enue forthwith." Hunt was one of 28 senators who wrote Eisenhower asking him to delay the Jan. 1 effective date of the power policy until it could be thoroughly examined by Congress, Eisenhower outlined his conclu. slons of the power policy as fol lows: "1. The Jan. 1, 1954 date does not have the significance that you I seem to attribute to it. The De partment of the Interior merely re quested the various preference cus tomers to indicate to Uie depart ment In a preliminary way by Jan. 1 their requirements for power. Until final contracts have been signed by tho department with preference customers, there will be ample time for the preference customers to make changes in their requirements if they so desire, as well as ample time for Congress to examine Uie marketing criteria. "2. Even after contracts have been entered into with preference customers, their future needs for additional power will bo met to the extent of power available. That Is to say, power available at the time of contract negotiations with the preference customers but not needed by them until a later date will be reserved for them by dis posal under short-term interim con tracts with other customers so that It will be available to Uie prefer ence customers when they desire It." Employment Picture Told SAN FRANCISCO 11 Seasonal trends depressed nonfarm employ ment In the 11 western states in November. This report came Friday from Max. D. Kossorls, Western regional director of the Department of La bor's Bureau of Labor statistics. He placed the total of these work ers In the 11 states at 6,591,000 in November, xiown 107,000 from a year ago. The total of 5,126,000 workers In the three Pacific Coast states was still 46,000 above a year earlier while the total of 1,460,000 in the eight Mountain states was less than 1 per cent under last year. The average weekly wage of these nonfarm workers was higher than a year ago except In Oregon and Idaho. It was higher In all states than the national average of $71.02 for November. Pacific Coast workers averaged fewer working hours per week in November, following the national trend, but the decline was slight. I r WIN A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF FLOUR!

Premier Daniel Malan's Na tionalist government has failed to sell its racial sejircRfttion program to South Africa's most moderate group of native leaders. outright rejection of Milan's Apartheid (segregation) program was voted yesterday at the con clusion of the four-day Location Advisory Boards Congress the moderate native croup. Speakers from both national and municipal governments had explained in de tail to the Congress the Apartheid program, Including plans for re moving natives from overcrowded municipal areas to less populated sections. The Malan spokesmen said the relocation would reduce racial friction. The Nationalist government has advised an educational program for natives different from that for Whites. A government representa tive at the Congress said the pro gram for the natives would better equip them for the place the Mai- anites think they should have in south African society. gram probably would be the tough est to enact among Eisennowei-'t many proposals. 'I rather expect that is wnere we will have our bluest difficulty.' he told re porters. Out of 13 of the 25 Ways and Means members reached for com ment, only one - Rep. Goodwin (RMass did not call for some tax cms now. The emphasis was heavy on cuts in excise or sales taxes, indicating that is the field where the big battles may come. Eisenhower did not mention ex cise taxes other than those sched uled to decline April 1. This coulo. leave the door open for him to pro pose cuts in a detailed tax and budget message later but Con gressmen generally expected the administration to try to hold excise revenues to present levels. Die President did not renew his 1953 request for Congress to cancel the Jump from l'b to 2 per cent in the social security tax which took effect Jan. 1. Administration sources said it was dropped be cause of a forthcoming program of nigncr Dene its. Ways and Means Chairman Dan iel A. Reed (R-NY). who waged a spectacular battle against admin istration tax policy last year, said he was "delighted", at the Presi dent's full support for a tax revis ion program now being developed by the committee and the Treas ury. This program is expected to re duce revenue about $1,300,000,000 through a rewriting of the tax laws to remove alleged Inequities. But Reed already has served no tice he favors excise tax cuts and will strongly oppose extending the present top corporation income tax rate of 52 per cent. It is scheduled to drop to 47 per cent on April 1. rerseiy, tteea saia: "Those mat ters will receive the attention of our committee as soon as its work on the revision program permits." That was expected to be weeks away, perhaps leaving little time to cancel the scheduled cuts before April 1. There were indications Reed would support the excise tax slashes to 10 per cent mentioned Simpson, who played a bit part in pushing through the administra tion's tax program last year. Bringing all excises except liquor and tobacco down to 10 per cent re portedly would cost 940 million dol lars in revenue. The scheduled au tomatic excise cuts would cost only 160 million more. Under the proposal Simpson mentioned, the new 10 per cent rate would apply to furs, jewelry. cosmetics, luggage, women's hand- oags, an admissions, pnotograpnic equipment, light bulbs and safe de posit boxes (all now taxed at 20 per cent); to lighters, pens, me chanical pencils, local telephone calls and personal transportation (all now 15 per cent): and to long distance telephone calls (now 25 per cent). Chairman Millikfn (R-Colo) of the Senate Finance Committee said he was encouraged by Elsen hower's assurance of further tax reductions as finances permit. Sen. George (Ga), senior Demo crat on the Finance Committee, suggested a compromise at a 50 per cent corporation income tax rate an idea also widely sup ported by ways and means mem bers.
