la The-
Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
San Francisco, where this is
written, is changing as is all the
West. The change, in part, is due
to the rapidly rising tide of pop
ulation that is transfiguring the
West as a whole, shrinking down
the wide open spaces and swell
ing the cities.
In other part, it is due to the
fabulous change that has been
wrought in all of America by the
automobile, which made it possi
ble for Americans to do their liv
ing miles and miles and miles
from where they do their work
ing. This change isn't confined to
the West. It is going on all over
America. It is beginning to make
itself felt in Western Europe,
where automobile ownership is
rising swiftly.
There was a time and it wasn't
very long ago when San Fran
ciscans were an apartment-dwelling
tribe. In those days, they
bought their groceries in little
corner stores and carried them
home in a paper bag. They either
walked to work or came down
town in the street car.
Now they live in suburbs all
the way from Santa Rosa in the
north to San Jose in the south
and fight their way in to the city
over freeways crammed with
whizzing, whirling, fender-banging
traffic, and they buy their gro
ceries out near where they live.
Along with the automobile and
the freeway and the overflowing
parking lot has come the five
day week w h i c h, perhaps, is
changing what up here in the
State of Jefferson we call The
City as much as all the other
influences put together.
There was a time when in San
Francisco, as out in the sticks,
Saturday night was Binge Night.
Not any more. In all but the re
tail places, the doors are closed
at 5 o'clock on Friday. When
comes that magic hour, the fac
tories, the wholesale establish
ments and the offices shut up
.shop and the occupants, thereof
stream out on the own for a bit
of relaxation.
The net result of it all is that
the entertainment spots are
crammed until the walls bulge
on Friday night. The reason for
the change in binge nights is that
when the suburbanites get home
to their lawns and their gardens
and their week-end accumulation
of do-it-yourself chores they're
much too weary come Saturday
night to dress up and go out for
mgnt on the town.
So . , in the Big Towns .-
Saturday night is coming to be aM
most tjuiet Night.
So much for the fluffier side of
life.
There are changes also in the
business side of San Francisco's
life. .
They are SIGNIFICANT changes
For example:
In the first three-quarters of a
century of its existence, the life
of the city of San Francisco cen
tered around the fantastically won
derful PORT of San Francisco.
To the Great Bay came the
f hips of all nations. . Here they
could lie safe at anchor while
they discharged the cargoes they
had brought and took on the car
roes they were to take away.
The cargoes they took' away In
those days were basically RAW
MATERIALS hides, grain, tim
ber, etc. The cargoes they
BROUGHT BACK were finished
products.
That is to say:
Those were the days when the
West was in effect a COLONIAL
DEPENDENCY. It sold raw ma
terials at low prices and brought
back finished products at high
prices. Its selling prices were
low and its buying prices were
high because it had to PAY THE
FREIGHT BOTH WAYS.
Those days are past.
The West now has a balanced
economy of its own.
San Francisco bay is now ringed
by factories that use the raw ma
terials of the eleven Western
states, and sell their products in
the eleven Western states. The
clustered millions that live around
the bay provide markets for
Southern Oregon and Far North
ern California.
A new economic day is dawning
In the Far West.

Eisenhower Says Recession
Has Largely Spent Itself;
America Weathers It Well
WASHINGTON. (API-President
Eisenhower said Wednesday he be
lieves the recession has largely
spent itself.
America is weathering it well.
he told a news conference at
which he explained his stand
against tax cuts.
Eisenhower said the current
Senators Eye
Job-Pay Bill
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Sen-!
ate drove today toward passage of
an emergency jobless pay bill aft
er overwhelming rejection of an
effort to make basic revisions in
the system.
The measure, already passed by
the House and endorsed by the
Eisenhower administration, would
authorize federal advances to the
states for a temporary extension
of unemployment benefit pay
ments. A major issue still to be settled
is whether the extended payments
will be optional with each state,
as the House voted, or whether
they will be made mandatory,
as President Eisenhower original
ly asked.
Senators seeking to strengthen
the bill contend it is virtually use
less, but on the first test vote yes
terday they were defeated 63-21.
The vote came on a substitute
measure offered by Sen. John F.
Kennedy (D-Mass).
Administration leaders have
called for passage of the House
bill without change so that there
will be no further delay in extend
ing, aid to unemployed who al
ready have exhausted their bene
fit rights...
The extension in most states
would be 13 weeks. The money
advanced by the federal govern
ment would have to be repaid by
the states starting in 1963.
Up for action as the Senate went
into a second day of debate on
the bill was an amendment by
Kennedy to extend the duration of
present benefit payments by 16
weeks in all states.
CAB Creates
New Skyways
WASHINGTON (AP) The Civ
il Aeronautics Board created
three transcontinental super sky
ways Wednesday in a move to les
sen the danger of aircraft collis
ions. -'.-..
The skyways will be established
June 15. ,1
As of that date all flights be
tween 17.000 and 22,000 feet alti
tude in the designated air corri
dors will be wholly controlled from
the ground regardless of feather.
The ground control will apply to
both military and c o m m e r cial
planes using the skyways.
The corridors will be 40 miles
wide. Within them planes will be
separated by at least 1,000 feet
vertically and 10 - minutes flying
lime horizontally.
The CAB said the airlines, which
already have pledged that their pi
lots will submit voluntarily to
ground control in all operations
above 10,000 feet, endorsed the
skyway plan. '
Red Squeeze Put
On Yugoslavia
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)
The Soviet Union put the eco
nomic squeeze on Yugo s 1 a v i a
Wednesday by postponing for five
years a credit arrangement be
tween the two countries.
The decision was announced by
the official news agency Taniug
It came as no surprise, since
Yugoslav-Soviet relations have
been deteriorating in recent weeks.
The soviet Union in two agree
ments had promised economic
credits to Yugoslavia amounting
to 250 million dollars.
This amount was to be used for
building an aluminum plant in
Montenegro and other industrial
projects. Only a small part of the
credit was for cash loans and con
sumer goods.
economic situation does not war
rant any reductions that would
create further deficit spending.
Though he said he thinks . the
recession has largely spent its
force, the President declined to
predict when there will be a
business upturn and full employ
ment again. He said he is no
prophet.
The first question to Eisenhow
er was a request that he explain
why he came out earlier this week
against any general tax cut anv.
as the' reporter put it, anti-recession
reduction.
Bristling a bit, Eisenhower said
it looked to him as though the
newsmen was asking a loaded
question. The President said he is
not sure that any tax cut could
be pictured as an anti-recession
move.
The President then said the tax
situation has been a matter for
careful and intense study. And. he
went on, he finally decided that
as ol now the economic situation
does not warrant any reductions
oeyina already proposed relief for
small business.
Eisenhower also dealt with these
other matters:
FRANCE - The President said
the situations in crisis ridden
France and Lebanon are too deli
cate for him to discuss, so he was
asking that those matters be, as
he put it, taken off the question
list.
WAGES-PRICES - Eisenhower
said he deplores any idea of the
government attempting to control
wages and prices in time of peace.
tie renewed his appeal to busi
ness and labor leaders to keep
wages ana prices Irom spirahng
aangerousiy. .
STATEHOOD Eisenhower
said he - respects the Republican
Party platform pledge to work for
statehood for both Alaska and
Hawaii.
That pledge should be carried
out, he added, and he feels a duty
to work for admission of both ter
ritories. NORTH AFRICA - As k e d
whether the turbulent situation in
North Africa carries any lession
lor the United States. Eisenhower
replied that this country's policy
of helping less developed countries
is a good one. Then he added that
in all situations there is a new
problem, and when you try to do
something it always affects two
or three other nations.
Scotch' and Soda Diplomacy
A reporter told Eisenhower that
the Tampa (Fla.) Tribune had
raised questions about what it
termed Americas scotch and
soda diplomacy."
The newsman said a question
also was raised as to whether U.S.
diplomats should not be required
to learn the language of the coun
tries to which they are assigned.
Eisenhower said he doesn't by
any means condone soft living but
that the concept of going around
and being foreign demagogues in
someone else's country is equally
objectionable.
DEFENSE SPENDING - Ei
senhower said every dollar spent
for national defense is a matter
for careful advance study.
That remark came when the
President was told that Secretary
of Defense Neil McElroy, in ad
dressing the governors .conference
in Miami, Fla., a few days ago,
suggested that government con
trols might become necessary if
defense spending continues to
climb.
FEDERAL PAY RAISES -Replying
to a question, Eisenhower
said he sees a partial contradic
tion between his approval of pay
increases for government work
ers and his advocacy that the
wage .line in private business be
held generally. He added that this
can't be helped.
HOW'S THAT?
PITTSBURGH (AP) - County
Clerk Murray W. Snyder of Al
legheny County appeared before
the county commissioners and
read a request for an "all-pur
pose push-button stripper."
"What will the taxpayers think,"
said Commissioner Howard B
Stewart. "Read that again."
Snyder then said the request
was for an "all-purpose push-but-
ton striper." It's an $8,600 ma-;
chine used to paint trallic stripes
on roads.

War Flares
In Tripoli
rv
BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) In
tense fighting flared again yester
day in Tripoli, the Lebanese Medi
terranean seaport where the little
Middle East nation s crisis began
19 days ago.
Eyewitness reports said two
members of the forces opposing
pro - Western President Camille
Chamoun were killed and 12
wounded. The opposition fighters
reportedly tried to break out of
the old Moslem quarter where
they have been blockaded and the
government's security . forces
forced them back.
Skirmishes also were reported
in Halba, in northeast Lebanon.
In central Lebanon security forces
threw a cordon around Baalbek,
held by rebellious Druze tribes
men. Opposition leaders last night re
jected the government's offer to
solve the bitter crisis by pledging
that Chamoun would not try to
amend the constitution so he could
serve a second six-year term. The
President s known ambition to
continue in office, which under the
present constitution he must quit
Sept. 23, has been a major issue
in the recent violence in which
more than 200 have been killed.
At U. N. headquarters in New
York, the Security Council dodged
East-West debate on Leba
non's charges that the, rebellion
had been fostered by President
Nasser's United Arab Republic.
The Council agreed unanimously
to take up the Lebanese com
plaint, then postponed discussion
of it until after the Arab League
Council considers the Lebanese
charges at a meeting over the
weekend.

Ike Approves
Mail Measure
WASHINGTON (AP) It'll cost
you 4 cents to mail a letter, start
ing Aug.-1..
Although voicing some objec
tions, President Eisenhower yes
terday signed a bill providing
boosts in rates in letters, air mail,
post cards, newspapers, maga
zines and advertising matter.
The legislation also carries pay
increases for some 520,000 postal
workers and foreshadows probable
pay hikes for another million
workers in the government's civil
service.
Eisenhower had asked a bigger
rate increase and a smaller postal
pay boost. He voiced disappoint
ment that the new rate adjust
ments allowed by Congress "fail
by several hundred million dollars
to bring Ihe postal account into
balance. '
But the President said he signed
the bill "because it is clear that
those provisions which are in the
I public interest outweigh the objec-
!tinnK1 nrn.,i;nn Ar Ika kill
The rate boosts will bring in an
estimated 550 million dollars a
year in additional revenue. The 10
per cent pay increase for most
postal workers, retroactive to Jan
1, will cost an estimated 263 mil
lions. Both the postal rate and
pay increases are the biggest ever
voted by Congress.
Effective Aug. 1, the price of a
letter stamp will rise 1 cent from
Ihe 3 cents in effect since 1932.
On that same date, air mail will
go up from 6 cents to 7 and post
cards from 2 to 3 cents.

after it was launched. Sponsoring
the commissioning is Mrs. Clark
W. Thompson of Galveston, wife
of a Democratic congressman
from Texas' 9th Dist.
' Principal armament of this first
of the Navy's new fleet of missile
cruisers is the deadly Talos, a 20-
foot-long r o c k e t-shaped missile
that can reach into the strato
sphere for a kill. It, too, was 13

President Begins Search
For New Premier After
Pflimlin Offers To Quit
PARIS (AP) - Gen Charles de
Gaulle sped to Paris Wednesday
alter being called by French Pres
ident Rene Coty, reliable sources
said. At the same time 30,000
Frenchmen demonstrated in Paris
against his return.
The word that De Gaulle was
going to see the President nor
mally would mean that he would
be asked to form a new govern
ment. The general, accompanied only
by an aide, had driven out of the
gates at his country home and
headed toward Paris. There had
been no announcement, however.
of his destination or the purpose
of the trip.
De Gaulle was expected at the
president's palace at about 8:30
p.m. m:30 a.m. rsT).
The call from Coty to De Gaulle
came only minutes after the con
clusion of a meeting between. the
President and leaders of three big
political parues.
Socialist Guy Mollet, right wing
independent Antoine Pinay and
Pierre-Henri Teitgen of the Cath
olic Popular Republican Move
ment had been closeted with the
President for an hour and a quar
ter. .
The three men had been called
in by Coty presumably to get
agreement on a successor to Pre
mier Pierre Pflimlin, who re
signed in the early morning hours
at the height of the rebellion-induced
political confusion in
France. '
During the day De Gaulle had
talked with two of r ranee s eider
military statesmen. They were
Gen. Georges Catroux and stern
Marshal Alphonse Juin.
The general announced Tues-
that he had already started work
to form a government. But he ap
peared to face formidable opposi
tion in the National Assembly,.
which must approve his appoint-1
mcnt to the premiership. '
The National Assembly gave
Pflimlin a thumping vote of ap
proval Tuesday night on a consti
tutional reform bill, indicating
that the deputies had no stomach
for the general. Pllimlin quit be
cause he lost some of his mod
erate supporters in the Assembly.
The. demonstration, with the
crowds massed four blocks down
the route in a working class quar
ter of the citv famed for its May
Day union marches, was orderly
but noisv. Communists, socialist
and Christian Trade Unionists had
called for the demonstrations.
The marchers chanted Fascism
Shall Not Pass" and "Vive La
Renublique." No police were in
sieht.
The police are controlled by So.
cialist Jules Moch, who gave tacit
approval for the demonstration de
spite a government pan on ail
mass meetings.
Demonstrations against ue

Rebels Claim
City Retaken
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP)
The Indonesian army command
today claimed its forces have re
captured Parigi, in the Central
Celebes, killed 30 rebels and cap
tured large quantities of arms.
The communique added that
loyalist forces were attacking
Djailolo. on Halmahera Island,
and had killed 70 rebel defenders.
The communique made no men
tion of the situation at Gorontalo,
in the North Celebes, which the
rebels claimed to have recap
tured last week after killing 400
loyalist troops. i
The air force gave newsmen a
preview of the first MIG and Ily-
ushin planes delivered to the Su
karno government by Iron Curtain
countries. Reporters watched two
MIG jet trainers from Czechoslo
vakia take off from a Jakarta air
field and went for a ride in an
Uyushin converted transport.
An air force spokesman said the
Ilyushins cost $250,000 each, pay
able over 10 years compared with
the three-year period demanded
by Western nations.
Meanwhile, an American civil
ian pilot captured when he bailed
out of a rebel bomber was re
ported undergoing medical treat
