Federal spending note:
Federal budget director Maurice
Etans warns the congress that fed
eral spending might reach to a
total of 400 billion dollars by 1963.
1963 is five years off, and
presumably he means that federal
spending will average 80 billion
dollars a year for the next five
years.)
He made the statement when
questioned by a house committee
about the administration request
for a bill raising the national debt
ceiling to 288 billion dollars.
For the benefit of those who
contend that big federal spending
means big national prosperity,
let's keep the situation straight
in our minds.
It works like this:
The government takes the money
out of your pocket in the form of
taxes and spends it. That means
that YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN
YOUR POCKET TO SPEND AS
YOU CHOOSE.
More federal spending stuff:
President Eisenhower has vetoed
a 6W billion dollar appropriations
bill. He said in his veto message
that the extra 589 million dollars
added to the original bill would un
necessarily push up the deficit.
Some Washington congressional
leaders think the veto will put
some federal agencies on SHORT
MONEY RATIONS until next year
(meaning that if the veto stands
some federal departments may
not have money enough to main
tain their establishments on the
scale to which they have become
accustomed.)
That recalls a statement in a
recent letter from a Washington
friend. He says:
"From all I can hear, the rest
of the country has been feeling the
recession bite. Here in Washington,
D.C., though, the economic pic
ture is VERY BRIGHT. Wash
ington's biggest payroll industry
is government and as a result of
the recent increase in their pay
government employees are spend
ing 10 per cent more money in
town. .. - -
"Not only that, but everybody
got enough in a retroactive pay
check to make a down payment
on a new automobile or maybe
a new nouse.
"As a result, business here in
Washington is BOOMING and
there is no recession talk."
Judge Named
To Mine Case
LAKEVIEW Word was received
here today that Judge William S.
Fort of Eugene has been assigned
by the Oregon Supreme Court to
sit in the case of Lakeview Mining
Company against the Lakeview lo
cal of United Mine Workers of
America. He will substitute for
Circuit Judge Charles Foster who
was disqualified upon petition by
the defendants.
No date has been set for the
hearing.
Cause of action arose after the
union voted a strike against the
White King uranium mine, proper
ty of Lakeview Mining Company.
on July 20. The mining company
protested the establishment of a
picket line on July 21 which im
peded progress of development
work at the mine.
Judge Foster set July 28 as the
date for the union to show cause
why it should not desist from pick
eting. At the same time he is
sued a temporary injunction re
straining the union from picketing
and the injunction is still effective.
ELKS CAN EAT, make no mistake of that. Hera part of Sunday's crowd of 3.000 members

Missile Boss
Expects Moon
Shot Shortly
WASHINGTON (AP) Roy W.
Johnson, boss of the nation's
moon rocket program, indicated
today that the first attempt to put
up a lunar satellite could come
as early as next week.
Johnson told a reporter that the
Defense Department hopes to de
cide this week on the date.
The director of the department's
Advanced Research Projects
Agency added that the date would
be decided upon about five days
in advance of the actual launch
ing attempt.
This would conform closely with
estimates of persons close to the
lunar probe program that the
earliest launching date under con
sideration was Aug. 15, and that
the most likely dates would be
Aug. 17-19.
A major goal of the attempt is
to get pictures of the hidden side
of the moon not to hit the moon
itself.
Johnson said that if the shot is
completely successful, the probe
will orbit several times around the
moon He emphasized that many
things could prevent success of
this first experimental shot.
Johnson also disclosed for the
first time that the lunar satellite
probably would be cylindrical in
shape. He said that with its in
struments it would weigh 50 to 60
pounds.
He explained that several lunar
satellites have been built at the
Naval Test Center, Inyokern,
Calif., of various shapes and de
signs "and we'll take one off
the shelf.
The launching rocket will con
sist of a Thor intermediate range
ballistic missile, and the second
and third stages of the Vanguard
satellite rocket. The third stage,
however, is of a hitherto untried
solid propellant design, more
powerful than the third stages of
the Vanguard rockets fired to
date.
The satellite, housed in the nose
of the final stage, will contain
a television-type scanning device
with a gyroscope to keep it aimed
constantly at the moon.
r Johnson said that within six
minutes , after the launching at
Cape Canaveral, Fla.. "we should
know whether all the stages have
fired successfully.
"Within 90 minutes we will
know whether everything is on
course. But then we will have to
wait 2'-i days for the rocket to
reach the moon if it goes that
far."
Johnson said he would be great
ly pleased it the satellite ap
proached to within 20,000 or 30,000
miles of the moon. The moon on
the average is some 238,000 miles
from the earth.
He said when the satellite nears
the moon tiny rockets will be fired
in the reverse direction by radio
command from the earth to slow
if sufficiently for it to be attracted
by the moon's gravitational field.

Prices Hiked
By 3 More
Steel Firms
PITTSBURGH (AP) Three
more steel firms, including the
nations two largest, today in
creased the cost of selected steel
items, in the second round of the
industry s piecemeal price adjust
ments. '
Posting higher prices for such
products as bars, rods, wire and
tubular items were U. S. Steel
Corp., Bethlehem and Inland. U.S.
Steel is the giant of the industry,
Bethlehem the No. 2 producer and
Inland No. 8.
They followed the load set last
week by Republic Steel, third-
ranking producer, and other
smaller firms.
For U. S. Steel it meant fur
ther abdication of its leadership
role in price adjustments since
World War II. Early last week
Armco, No. 7, took the initiative
by boosting prices on flat rolled
products an average of $4.50 a
ton.
U. S. Steel and Inland said in
creases, effective today, average
about 3 per cent. Bethlehem did
not announce any specific figures
for its list.

President-Elect Wants U.S.
Troops To Leave Lebanon
BEIRUT. Lebanon (API-Pres
ident-elect Fuad Shehab wants
U.S. troops to get out of Lebanon
but President Camille Chamoun is
determined to keep them here un
til his term ends Sept. 23.
Shehab said withdrawal of the
13,000 American soldiers and Ma
rines is foremost among our na
tional aims." The first announce
ment of the army commander
since he was elected Thursday
indicated he favored a policy of
neutrality toward the big powers
and friendship with Lebanon's
Arab neighbors.
Chamoun. the nro-western pres
ident who asked Washington to
send the troops three weeks ago,
said, "I won't ask the Marines to
leave. Ho has rejected renci
demands that he step aside early
for Shehab.
Chamoun also said he would
represent Lebanon at any summit
conference to which Middle East
ern leaders are invited.
Leaders of the three-month-old
rebellion against Chamoun say
the now smouldering strife will
flame anew if he tries to repre
sent Lebanon at the summit or
name one of his men as his dele
gate. The rebels who also de
mand immediate withdrawal of
U.S. troops say Shehab should
speak for Lebanon at any summit
tour. This picture shows a group of the delegates admiring

Dulles Holds
Leaders Of Brazil Today
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)-Sec-retary
of State Dulles began talks
with Brazil's leaders today after
a handful of students marred his
warm welcome briefly with jeers
and a Go Home banner. , ,
Dulles' program for the first full
dead of his 60-hour visit included
talks with Foreign Secretary
Francisco Negrao de Lima and
then a meeting with President
Juscelino Kubitschck.
Dulles said on arrival yesterday
he would talk about the world sit
uation, inter-American reations
with special attention to economic
problems and U.S. -Brazilian rela
tions. The Brazilians were most in
terested in what Dulles would
have to say about coffee, their
chief export crop, and U.S. aid in
developing Brazilian oil resources.
A meeting of hemisphere foreign
ministers or even heads of gov
ernments to study economic and
other, problems has been suggest
ed by Kubitschek.
Dulles indicated in an airport
statement his mind was on the
cold war and the Middle East. And
on arrival at the U.S. Embassy, he
told the embassy staff. The days
today are particularly critical.
There is an effort to exert pres
sure perhaps more intense than
during the last three or four years
perhaps more reminiscent of
the Berlin airlift and of Korea in
that respect."
The Soviet Union has been seek
ing recently to renew diplomatic
and commercial tics with Brazil
and has stepped up its economic
campaigns in neighboring coun
tries. Brazil broke diplomatic re
lations with the Soviet Union in
1947 after a number of Soviet
verbal attacks on her. and the
government has reported a num
ber of Communist subversive plots
in recent years.
Dulles route from the embassy
to the residence of U.S. Ambassa
conference 1 held before he be
comes president.
Shehab said the national charter
drawn up by all sects in this half
Christian, half-Moslem nation
when the French left in 1943
"emphasizes Lebanon's independ
ence and it is a clear Arab policy.
Frankness in relations with our
Arab brothers will be among the
bases of the country's future for
eign policy."
Chamoun s acceptance of the
Eisenhower Doctrine had separat
ed Lebanon from Arab forces led
by U.A.R. President Nasser and
was one cause of the revolt which
led to the Marines' landing.
Chamoun spoke to newsmen
just before meeting with Robert
u. Murphy, President Eisenhow
er s troubleshootcr. The rebels
have been pleased that Murphy
used his influence last week to
have the presidential election
held. Chamoun's supporters have

Court Slates Segregation Ruling
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Uncharted
legal territory will be explored by
the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals in studying suspension of
racial Integration at Little Rock s
Central High School.
The seven-judge court Is expect

At issue is a June 21 order by
U.S. Dist. Judge Harry J. Lemley
of Arkansas granting a 2'i-year
suspension or cooling off period
at the school where integration
was enforced with federal troops
during the last school year. The
order was appealed by the Nation
al Assn. for the Advancement of

The big question before the ap

lay is legally permissible under
the Supreme Court s order that
segregation in public schools be
ended with ail deliberate speed.
The question has not been con
sidered previously.

U.N. delegates are continuing

In the absence of word from the
Soviets, there has been no sched

There was speculation in Mos

that Khrushchev's acceptance or

be made public at the U.N., not
in me soviet capital.
Diplomats leaning to this view
pointed out that President Eisen

soviet chief had not requested an
answer specifically but had said
they were going ahead to arrange
a summit security council meet

School Bill
Moves Toward

billion-dollar education bill to es

ships and provide other school aid
moved toward the Senate floor
I today.
npprovea oy a m-i vote ot in
Senate Labor Committee yester
day, it was ready for action today
by the Senate Democratic Policy
Committee. That group decides
the order in which legislation is to
be considered.
Chairman Lister Hill (D-Ala)
of the Labor Committee predicted
the Senate would pass the bill
later in the week.
Meanwhile. House sponsors ot
similar legislation agreed to soma
compromises in a meeting with
Republican congressmen and ad
ministration officials to win need
ed votes in that body for the
measure.
Rep. Carl Elliott (D-Ala), author
of the House Bill, said he would
offer a floor amendment to cut
the number of college scholarships
from 23,000 to 10,000 and base
them solely on need. He said this
would bring the measure in line
with President Eisenhower's
wishes.
The House bill was approved by
the House Labor Committee July
2 but still is awaiting Rules Com
mittee clearance.
The twin developments gave
strong indication that an educa
tion bill will be sent to the Pres

legislative acts of the 58th Con
