Chief Faces 'Black Eye'
Over Forbes Endorsement

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.

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."

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

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.
