Chief Faces 'Black Eye' Over Forbes Endorsement WASHINGTON tin President Eisenhower may be risking a po litical black eye in his enthus iastic endorsement of Republican Malcolm Forbes in the New Jer sey governorship race. On the other hand. Eisenhow er's plug for Forbes in a contest some Republicans regard as a long-shot gamble may be of more significance to the GOP in the 1958 battle for control of Congress than what happens at the polls in New Jersey. Forbes is running against Dem ocratic Gov. Robert B. Mcyner. Death Probed By Authorities LAKEVIEW Lake County au thorities are investigating t h e death of Clifford Alvin Ramberg, 47. whose body was brought to the Ousley-Osterman Funeral Home here on Wednesday by Dis trict Attorney Julian Herndon and fcverett Osterman, county coroner. The officials found the bodv out side the man's cabin between Kir- by and Bend, about 35 miles west of Burns and 250 miles from Lake view in Lake County. Death oc curred about 11 a.m. on Wednes day, according to Osterman's esti mate. An autopsy has been or dered, f Herndon said Ramberg was em ployed by Oregon Uranium Corpo ration. Brothers in Portland have been notified. If Forbes wins next Tuesday, it would provide as Eisenhower told his news conference Wednes day "A great big shot In the arm" for Republicans. If Forbes loses, Eisenhower will have put himself into a situation ir.nii sionh.ncnn mij. many will regard as confirmation son. Ward StenhenW Cntt'n Former Basin Resident Dies George S. Stephenson. 75. a na tive Oregonian, born of a pioneer family of Jacksonville, and a resi dent here for many years, died October 27 in Medford. For 18 years Stephenson was manager of Swift and Company. After leaving Klamath Falls the family lived in Ashland for a time. later moved to Medford where the family home is at 721 West Four teenth Street. Funeral services were held Octo ber 30 at 10:30 from the Chapel 4ortuary. Final rites and interment were in Siskiyou Memorial Park. survivors i n c 1 n d e his widow, French Crisis Looks Better PARIS Wl Felix Gaillard seemed to be making good prog ress Thursday in lining up pre liminary support for his bid to end France s month-old govern mental crisis. No open hostility to the 37-year-old financial expert has developed yet almost all political parties have given him tentative approval for the premiership. r However, many national assem bly deputies have already left Paris for the long AU Saints' weekend and will not be back be fore Monday. Until then it will be difficult to gel any definite indi cation of Gaillard s chances. Gaillard, finance minister in the last cabinet, will go before the national assembly Tuesday to ask approval as France's 24th postwar premier. Gaillard has told political lead ers the crisis already has cost Franco 200 billion francs ($486, 540,000) and 100 million dollars in foreign exchange. He has not ex plained how the loss occurred, but presumably he meant the money has been flowing out ot the treas ury while there was no govern ment to slop it. of reports his own political popu larity is slipping noticeably. At his news conference, Eisen hower was asked only about the Forbes-Meyner race. But press secretary James C. Hagerty said later tne president hopes also for a victory by Republican Ted Dalton over Democrat J. Lindsay aimona lor governor of Virginia. Politicians here read the Presi dent's action as indicating he in tends to make a stiff fight for the kind of candidates he likes, even if he has to take some political lumps in the process. These politicians are contrast ing this new attitude to the con siderably more cautious course Eisenhower followed in 1956. when nis own reelection was at stake. In discussing his attitude to ward the 1958 campaign. Eisen hower said last Max 22 that he win support "enthusiastically" Republicans' who back him on major issues. As for those who are against him, he said, he'll be for them "merely because they are Republican." In the case of Forbes, Eisen hower wiped out any chance the Republicans could alibi defeat bv contending that local and not na tionalissues decided the contest. By the same token, he went n long way toward making any Forbes victory a lesson to those in the party who don't like the White House brand of "Modern Republicanism." , To some this looked like determination by Eisenhower . to carry out his post-election pledge to remake his party. Eisenhower described Forbes as "the young, vigorous type of cand idate we should have in politics." "I believe he is a man of finp character," the President said. He has a fine familv and I think he would make an effective gov ernor, so i am tor lum."

"I Milk Price Fix Charged PORTLAND Wl A federal grand jury Wednesday indicted nine firms on charges of conspir ing to fix milk prices in this area.

" Forbes wins with Eisenhow- Thc indictment accuses them c,r "f'P. tne recalcitrants among was asked how Eisenhower felt about Virginia's Dalton. He feels about Dalton exacllv the same way he feels about Mr. Forbes." Hagerty replied. "He hopes he's elected." As a candidate in race-conscious Virginia. Dalton could hardly agree with Eisenhower on the civil rights issue. But Forbes en dorsed all the President's policies. of agreeing "to fix prices paid to producers for raw milk, to fix distributors' prices for bottled milk to establish non-com petitive quantity discounts for bottled milk and eliminate com petition among distributors in the s.ile and distribution of bottled milk. . ." According to the indictment, the nine firms accounted for 80 per cent of the 120 million quarts sold in the Portland market area last year. The Justice Department start ed the Portland milk price in vestigation last April. In charge was Lyle Jones, chief of the San Francisco olfice of the depart ment's anti-trust division. A distributors' spokesman de nied there had been violations of anti-trust laws or a conspiracy to fix prices. He said Portland area milk prices are the lowest of any major West Coast city. Portland stores have been sell ing milk at 22 cents a quart. the Republicans will be under some constraint to pay more at tention to keeping the President enthusiastic about them m 1958. Russ Threat In Syria Eyed WASHINGTON W-Top officials today forecast that vastly in creased Soviet penetration of Syr ia would result from a newly con cluded Soviet-Syrian economic aid agreement. Russia will be in a position un der terms of the accord, they said, to triple or quadruple the number of Soviet technicians in Syria with the excuse it is helping build up Syria's economy. An estimated 250 Russian technicians are there now. The Soviet-Syrian agreement, announced Monday, promises about 200 million dollars in aid, including technical assistance. Authorities who have studied the terms said that Russia has effectively hitched Syria's econ omy to that of the Soviet bloc. If the agreement is carried out. they said, Syria will be totally dependent on Russia and its sat ellites. Syria's exports of cotton, tobacco and wheat will go to the Communist countries for an indef inite period. These officials expressed belief that Syria would find repayment ot the promised Soviet favors far more diflicult than it would seem on paper. I he 2'i per cent inter est rate Russia is charging for aid, -they said, may turn out to be a mirage once the fine print which allows for readjustments is con- I suited. I The aid agreement follows up but is separate from the secret military aid pact Russia already has signed with the Damascus re gime. Under this, large quantities of military equipment have been delivered to Syria during the past 18 months. Some officials feel that the ac tion of the Syrian government in agreeing to such vast Soviet as sistance shows that Syrian lead ers seem anxious to become part of the Soviet bloc instead of stick ing to their pledges to remain in dependent. Syria has consistently rejected American aid with the explanation that the "conditions" attached to If Forbes loses, the tendency lit would interfere with its sm-nr. will be to discount the influence , pignty as an independent Mideast within his own party of a second i country. term President barred by consti- ' tutional amendment from running Ufi-U CMMUM a.iisv.y i wwimvsii again.

Maj. Gen. Louis W. Prentiss, executive secretary of the Amer ican Road Builders Assn., told 700 county road officials at a national conference that Congress may have to extend the program or raise more revenue to keep pace with announced schedules. Prentiss said the program will lag 500 to 800 million dollars a year behind the schedule between 10 and 17. the planned peak. However, he added "the pre requisites to construction have gone forward at an unprecedented rate." Citizens Tax Group Urged A citizens tax advisory council. to be appointed as a bipartisan group by the governor of Oregon and to assist in studying Oregon's tax programs, was urged recently by Mrs. Josephine Kittredge when addressing the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Kittredge is chairman of the Klamath Nonpar tisan Tax League. Mrs. Kittredge suggested the following newspapermen as pos sible members of the committee: J. W. Forrester of the East Ore gonian, Arden Pangborn or Tom Humphrey from the Oregon Jour nal, Herbert Lundy or Albert Mc Cready of the Portland Oregonian, Charles Sprague of the Salem Statesman, Robert Frazier of the Eugene Register Guard, Vern Mc- Kinney of the Hillsboro Argus, and numerous others who are in terested in and well informed along tax lines.' Mrs. Kittredge maintained that an advisory group of this type would do much to reassure the people of Oregon that the tax pro gram of the state will be studied with an unbiased and nonpolitical eye. She added that a nonpartisan group such as that recommended would be invaluable when assist ing in the. selection of a profes sional tax study organization to appraise the tax program of Ore gon. "The state of Washington has a similar committee," she said, "and it has functioned quite satis factorily since being appointed by Governor Rossellini.
