Potter Expects
Labor Vote
h WASHINGTON In Sen. Poller
(R-Mich) predicted today his party
will draw a bigger vote from or
ganized labor's ranks in 1956 be
cause "there is a tendency for
people to vote their pocketbooks.
He said he hopes and expects
President Eisenhower will seek re
flection, but that if he doesn't, any
-GOP standard bearer pledged to
continue the Elsenhower program
''will win.
" "It would be folly of the first
order for the Republican party to
' nominate someone who would go
contrary the program the public
" has accepted, which is the Eisen
hower program," Potter told re
porters. He said a newspaper survey in
industrial Detroit recently indi-
' cated that about 20 per cent of
voters who cast Iheir ballots for
"Democratic candidate Adlai E.
Stevenson for president in 1952
' would vote for Eisenhower in 1956
if he and Stevenson are the nom
inees. Potter termed that evidence that
"the bugaboo of a Republican de
pression has been exploded. . . .
The fear factor that has influenced
many of the laboring men to vole
'the Democratic ticket has been
exploded."
"There is a tendency for people
to vote their pocketbook," he said,
"and the laboring man today has
a fuller pocketbook than he ever
had in history. He can look for
ward to further Improvements in
his economic well being."

new control tower project, the Air
Force will remove the present
tower and put a new roof on the
airport administration building.
The government will bear the ex
pense of this project. A resolution
of approval will come before the
council next week.
The Air Force officers also ob
tained council approval for instal
lation of overrun barriers at the
airport. Tills type of safety device
will stop jet planes traveling at
a high rate of speed within 500
feet. Under the Air Force plan,
barriers will be placed beyond the
takeoff section at each end of the
runway.
According to Colonel Larson,
the device will have no affect on
conventional type planes. He said
the barriers have averted many
serious accidents after planes with
tricycle-type land gear have over
shot runways.
The council also approved pay
ment of $11,000 to C. H. and J. F.'
Kelly for a restricted easement on
50 acres of land adjacent to the
airport. t
The easement was the subject of
a court battle last week before
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg which culminated with a jury
verdict tavormg the Kelly broth
ers. The jury held that the Klam
ath Basin ranchers were entitled
to $11,000 instead of $6,750 offered
by the city. The city will also be
required to pay court costs and
attorney fees.
Resignation of Mrs. Howard
Barnhisel as a member of the city
park board was accepted. Mayor
Paul Landry said Mrs. Barnhisel
had contributed, much to the wel
fare of Klamath Falls as a park
board member. -

Hits Red
Budget Cuts
. By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON Iff Sen. Mans
field (D-MonU said today 'we
shouldn't be taken in" by Russia's
announced plans to cut lis military
budget by 10 per cent next year.
"We must keep our .defenses up,"
he cautioned. '
Mansfield, a member of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
suggested the development could
mean a Soviet switch to heavier
reliance on atomic striking power
Several other senators of both
political parties also were openly
skeptical of the Soviet Union a in.
tentions.
Sen. McClellan ID-Ark) said he
is "very skeptical that there is any
truth in the statement that Russia
is reducing her military expend!
tures by 10 per cent."
Sen. Dworshak (R-Idaho) said.
"When I have proof, I'll believe
it."
Sen. Potter (R-Michi said he
takes the Russian announcement
"with a large grain of salt."
McClellan. Dworshak and Potter
serve on the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Tlie Soviet Parliament, meeting
In Moscow, has been asked to ap
prove a 1956 budget which pro
vides for defense appropriations
totaling lOJij billion rubles. This
is nearly 10 per cent below the
1955 estimate of 113.122.OOO.t00
rubles. Approval Is a foregone con.
elusion.
Although the Russians peg the
tuble at 25 cents, its purchasing
power is considerably less.
The actual Russian military out
fay is not fully reflected in its
defense appropriations figure be
cause many direolly related Items
ore hidden under other budget
headings.
U. S. defense spending currently
is at annual rate of 34'i billion
dollars.
Mansfield said, "We not only
have cut all we can afford to In
our military spending, we have
made some cuts we shouldn't
afford."
He said the Eisenhower adminis
tration's proposals to ask Congress
for a billion-dollar increase in the
defense budget for the bookkeep
ing year starting July 1 "will not
provide any more muscle" but
would go to meet higher costs of
defense items.
Potter said the Russians' "public
announcements and their actions
are far different things,'
adding:
"Our Intelligence agencies tell us
of a large buildup in their air force
and their submarines, which
doesn't seem to fit tn well with
n 10 per cent cut in their budget."
