In his campaign talks, he will stress the necessity (or cutting the deficit and putting the economy on a sound, healthy basis. 3. Study every major item of a forthcoming governmental budget to see if it can be CUT for the benefit of America. Hmmmmmmm. He must have been reading Maries Dickens David Copper- field, in which Mister Micawber offers this irreproachable fiscal ad vice: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nine teen six (meaning 19 pounds, 19 shillings and sixpence) result HAP PINESS. "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result MISERY. Another hmmmmmmmm. If you are familiar with David Copperfield, you will recall that Mister Micawber was an IRRE PRESSIBLE SPENDTHRIFT who talked ECONOMY every time he could get - anybody to listen. That's about the pattern of our modern fiscal politics. At his press conference this morning, Ike said he felt there was a tendency in the recent con gress to spend more money gen erally than he had recommended. Let's hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may. It Is undoubtedly true that in the recession period of this year of 1958 the tendency of the congress has been to spend more than the President has recommended. But Throughout his second adminis tration Ike has tended to recom mend more spending than conser vative thinkers have felt to be sound and wise. The period covered by the ses sion of the congress that has just adjourned has been a period of recession. In periods of recession, there is a general desire to MAKE BUSINESS BETTER so that the recession will end and prosperity win return. There is a widespread belief in these days that big gov ernment spending makes business better. It's an intriguing theory. But don't forget this fundamental fact: Heavy government spending means heavy government taxing. The money government takes out of your pocket in the form of taxes is no longer in your pocket FOR YOU TO SPEND. Naval Base Hit By Fire SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A spectacular fire that shot flames and greasy smoke hundreds of feet into the sky was brought un der control early today at the Treasure Island Navy Base in San Francisco Bay. Officials estimated damages from the fire would amount to more than $100,000. It swept through a building that contained a garage, gas station and storage area at the huge base. The fire broke out shortly be fore midnight. It took 500 sailors and firemen from San Francisco and Oakland more than an hour to bring it under control. Capt. Richard Andrews, com manding officer at Treasure Is land, said the origin of the blaze was not known. He estimated $75,000 damage was done to the building and about $25,000 damage to 25 government and privately owned vehicles stored inside. Underneath the building, located on the northwestern part of the island, were two 5,000-gallon gaso line tanks. The firefighters concen trated their efforts on keeping the heat and flames away from the tanks. CHARLENE PELLETIER, the Pelletier, 561 I Shasta Way, discovered Monday morning.

WATCHING A MOVIE at the party which ended the sum mer reading program at the city library last Saturday are 81 grade school children among the 126 who earned cer tificates by reading and reporting on 10 or more books during June, July and the first half of August; the number of books read ran as high as 65. This candid shot was taken at the opening of the program, during one of two Dag Arrives In Jordan For Meetings AMMAN, Jordan (AP) Dag Hammarskjold arrived in Jordan today for the first round of talks to stabilize the Middle East enough for U. S. and British troops to go home. The U. N. secretary general was greeted at the Amman air port by Premier Samir Rifai. They went directly to King Hus- seins hilltop palace. Hammar skjold declined to discuss his peacemaking mission with report ers. Hammarskjold and three aides flew to Amman from Beirut in a U. N. courier plane. During an overnight stop in the Lebanese capital, he conferred only with U. N. officials. After a side trip to Geneva Sat urday for the opening of the sec ond atoms-for-peace conference, Hammarskjold is expected to visit Cairo next week for talks with President Nasser of the United Arab Republic. He will return to Beirut to discuss withdrawal of the American forces, will also visit Baghdad and may go also to Saudi Arabia. The secretary general flew into Beirut from New York last night shartly after a gunfight on the road from the airport into the cap ital. All was quiet again when he drove into town under escort of Lebanese armored cars and secu rity police. The U.N. General Assembly last Thursday unanimously approved an Arab resolution calling on Hammarskjold to make arrange ments to facilitate the early with drawal of U.S. troops from Leb anon and British troops from Jor dan. He also was asked to consult with the Arab states on plans for Middle Eastern economic develop ment. CHARGED WITH DESERTION BERLIN (UPI) - Pfc. Frank E.

The attack came just a few hours before Baker was to have testified in the rackets hearings. Chairman John L. McCIellan (D-Ark) announced Baker's illness as he opened the hearing. Robert F. Kennedy, committee counsel, told reporters first re ports were that Baker's condition was critical. He said Baker, son-in-law of former Iowa Democratic Mate unairman Jacob More, was stricken at his hotel shortly be fore he would have started for the Senate Office Building. The committee had planned to question Baker and otner witness es about an envelope full of $100 bills to learn who got the money and what it was used for. Baker was scheduled for testi mony in continuation of the com mittee's investigation into alleged corruption and terrorism in Team sters Union affairs. Baker told the committee last Thursday he could not remember whether he ever had an envelope at the time alleged, a year ago this month. Nor, he said, could he remember whether if he had it such an envelope contained $1,000, or from whom he might have received it. Eater Of Orange Should Have Kept Mouth Shut RUSSELLS POINT, Ohio (AP) It wasn't Jeanie Gehm's fault that her good will efforts in behalf of Florida failed. The guy in the audience should have eaten his orange and kept his mouth shut. Jeanie, 14, of Miami, was a contestant in the Miss Majorette Princess of America contest here. In the finale of her act she tossed out a handful of recently pur chased oranges to the audience On each orange was a piece of tape bearing Jeanie s name and the state she represented.

Video Quiz Shows Probed NEW YORK (AP) Television's big quiz show probe, it appeared today, began when a woman con testant reportedly got careless with a notebook. The New York County district attorney's office said that Edward Hilgemeier Jr., a part-time but ler, bit actor and contestant on quiz shows, made the complaint that triggered the inquiry. The disclosure came after col umnist Harriet Van Home in the New York World-Telegram k Sun named him as "the man who blew the whistle on Dotto and panicked TV's multimillion-dollar quiz show empire." The district attorney's office would give no details, but Miss Van Home said Hilgemeier was a stand-by perlormer for the Dotto show and became intrigued" when he noticed that one of the women who had been winning a lot of prizes on the program kept con sulting a notebook when waiting to gn on the air. When she forgetfully put the book down and walked away. Hilgemeier saw that it contained answers to questions that were being asked, according to the pub lished arrnnnt. The man sent an affidavit to the Federal Communications Commis sion. Subsequently Dotto was tak en off the NBC and CBS net works by the sponsor. Until today's diselosuros t h e broadcasting system said it had been -c o n d u c t i ng an inten sive inquiry of its own for a week into all quiz shows currently car ried on its network, but has failed to turn up evidence of any improp er procedure.

Away from Capitol Hill, a dis pute was building up between two groups created to help cleanse corruption from the Teamsters Union. One is a court-appointed board of monitors; the other a group created by the union's pres ident, James R. Hoffa. Republican former Sen. George H. Bender of Ohio heads the group set up by lloila. Monitors spokesmen told a re porter they plan to seek a meeting next week with U.S. Dist. Judge F. Dickinson Letts to protest against what they call Hoffa 's outrageous move in setting up his own cleanup group. Letts appointed the monitors earlier this year in a compromise settlement ot a suit by a group of Teamsters members who had sought to block Hoffa from taking over the union presidency. The monitors demanded that Hoffa give them a full explana tion of the Bender commission he created. They asked for such an explanation by tomorrow. Crews Battle Biggest Fire The biggest fire of the year with in the Klamath District of Rogue River National Forest was being fought today by crews totaling ap proximately 65 men, the local of fice of the U.S. Forest Service reports. The lightning-caused blaze was discovered by an Indian Service lookout on Agency Butte at 12:20 p.m. yesterday. The fire, situat ed on Goose Egg Butte in the Seven Lakes natural recreation area just below the southern boun dary of Crater Lake National Park, was only a quarter-acre af fair at lhat time, but by 2 p.m. when the first smoke jumpers from Cave Junction arrived on the scene, it had gone beyond the half-acre point. A total of eight smoke jumpers arrived in the early afternoon but they could not hold the fire, which covered more than two acres by Ihe time 25 surface borne fire fighters walked into the area short ly after 4 p.m. The surface crews came from the Seven Mile Guard Station and the Lake of the Woods Ranger Station. Even the combined forces of these firefighters were inadequate to contain the blaze, which had grown to five acres by 5 o'clock this morning, when the first of new forces arrived on the scene. Crews entering the area today are from the ranger stations at Un ion Creek, Prospect and Butte Falls. Fire boss Paul Brady of the Klamath Ranger District hopes to be able to hold the fire with the crews he now has, which are be ing assisted by aerial tankers from Medford that bomb critical hot spots along the line with bo rax treated water. Other planes from Medford are dropping food, drinking water, tools and other supplies, which are taken care of by Ted Cobo, Klamath Falls, who is acting camp boss and dispatch- let Carroll Browh, supervisor of Rogue River National Forest, and Darrel K. Frewing, manager of Ihe forest's Klamath District, went into the fircfighting area early ! this morning, Frewing's assistant, Vcrn Smith, together wilh forest er Bob Latzy, from Fort Klam ath, are in Willamette Forest Where they are helping on the Dc- troit fire at the request of the Eu gene office of the forest service.

But the President denied at a news conference that he ever said he wishes the Supreme Court had not ruled in 1954 in favor of inte gration in the nation's public schools. Eisenhower also said In effect that the' Justice Department will take part in arguments before the Supreme Court Thursday on the school integration crisis at Little Rock, Ark. Shortly after Eisenhower spoke. Ihe Justice Department announced it will take part in arguments be fore the Supreme Court Thursday on the school integration crisis at Little Rock, Ark. The department said Solicitor General J. Lee Rankin also will file a legal brief in the case Thursday in advance of the argu ments. Eisenhower said in reply to a question that he is sure there will be no great divergence between his personal views on the integra tion issue and those to be set forth in the Justice Department brief. Closing the schools under such circumstances would result in a whole basketful of litigation, Ei senhower said. Virginia already has laws on the books to permit closing of its schools and Arkansas' Gov. Orval Faubus has asked a special ses sion of his state's legislature to give him authority to shut schools. Eisenhower s remark that he may have told friends that he be lieves the school integration proc ess should be slowed down was his first public indication that he feels desegregation efforts may be moving too fast. A reporter told Eisenhower a weekly news magazine News week says the President has Solons Okay Faubus Moves LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP) The Arkansas House and Senate, a few minutes apart, gave smashing approval to Gov. Orval Faubus legislation to close Arkansas schools rather than submit to forced intcgregation. The Legislature obviously raced the clock 13 confront the U.S. Su preme Court with Faubus' entire six-bill package before the high tribunal meets Thursday to con sider, the Little Rock desegrega tion controversy. The House passed the school- closing measure 94-1. The Senate passed the same bill 33-0. Entire passage of the Faubus program, requested Tuesday in his speech to a joint opening ses sion, was a foregone conclusion. The Senate, acting as a com mittee of the whole to speed up legislative process, stamped ap proval on the entire anti-integration program in less than six min utes. A special House Education Com mittee last night whipped through and approved 12 measures aimed at blocking forced integration and at crippling the cflcctiveness of the National Assn. for the Ad vancement of Colored People in integration lawsuits. The Supreme Court meets in ex traordinary session tomorrow to rule, in effect, on whether the Little Rock school system shall receive a breathing spell of months or perhaps years before it integrates a second lime as it did last fall.

Dealing first with the report he is against the 1954 decision outlaw ing school segregation, Eisenhow er replied emphatically that the report is not correct. Then he went on to say he might have said something to friends about slower handling of integration. Eisenhower said he always has contended integration can be achieved only through education, reason and sense. At the outset of the news con ference Eisenhower was asked whether the Justice Department will accept the Supreme Court's invitation and participate in inte gration arguments at Thursday's special session of the court. The President also was asked whether any Justice Department brief would reflect his personal views on the issue. Eisenhower replied that the court's invitation actually amount ed to a command. Then he went on to say that from a general standpoint he is sure there will be no great divergence between his personal views and those to be advanced by the Justice De partment. Alaska Votes To Become 49th State JUNEAU. Alaska (AP) Vast rugged and beautiful Alaska slim in population but mighty in size and potential is going to be come the 49th state of the Union. With 113 of 297 precincts report ing, immediate statehood was fa vored 19,860 to 3,814. Two other propositions, which must be approved it statehood to oecome a tact, alio were pass ing yt UK same uiaigui. iu, on the ballot dealt with accept- "nce 01 lae Present Boundaries as oounaaries or ine new state, wo. j provides for the transfer of 103,- 350.000 acres of public land to the new state, and reserves power to a president to make certain mili tary land withdrawals in time of national emergency. Forecasts on the eve of the elec tion had predicted not much more than a 2-1 margin for statehood. Most of the opposition had been based on a fear that Increased costs of state government would mean a new boost in taxes for the territory's 215,000 residents. However, the heavy outpouring at the polls was viewed by most observers as an indication that statehood was headed for approv al by a wide margin. "It's a wonderful night," said Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton, the administration's greatest booster of Alaskan statehood. Seaton was in Juneau for the vote tabulation last night. The voting was so heavy at many precincts that the supply of official election ballots was ex hausted before the polls closed. Airplanes were pressed into service to carry new supplies of ballots to some precincts. At oth ers, sample election ballots were put Into official use. Included in the heavy turnout at the polls were 19 and 20-ycar-old Alaskans voting for the first time. The voting age in Alaska was low ered from 21 under terms of the constitution of the proposed new state. No. 616! Asked later whether he has ad vised the Justice Department to ask the high court for a delay in integration, the President said he does not think he will instruct the department one way or the other. lie said, however, that he as sumes any department brief would try to reflect views already set forth by the administration. The discussion of a possible slowdown in integration efforts follows by only one week a broad indication from Eisenhower that in case of trouble over desegre gation he would follow the same course he took last year in send ing troops, if necessary, to Little Rock. At last week's news conference, Eisenhower said his thinking on the subject now is just what it was then. First Blow Would Not Defeat US. WASHINGTON (AP)-Presldent Eisenhower today asserted it ii silly to say the United States could be defeated in a first blow nuclear attack. Eisenhower was asked at his news conference if he believed the United States could be defeated by nuclear attacks and necessarily must take the first blow. Eisenhower said he doesn't sea any reason why the United States must necessarily take the first blow. He added it is silly to say this country would be defeated in one blow. Because of the nation's retalia tory power, Eisenhower said, any other country would be foolish to attack. If it did, he said, the ag gressor would be destroyed. The President made his obser vations in connection with trie re cent furor in CnnnrMifi nvm rn. is porta that the Defense Depart- - ment was considering the possi- t unity of surrender as the result of an attack.
