In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
In his annual report to the con
gress this morning. President El
senhower paints (or us first i
bright and hopeful picture.
The nation, he says, has
SNAPPED BACK STRONGLY
from last year's recession. Produc
tion, he adds, is UP, unemploy
ment is DOWN and there is reason
for confidence that business will
show further improvement in the
months ahead.
But
He then warns
"U.S. economic health is jeopar
dized by an upward spiral of wages
and prices that continued even dur
ing the recession.
He appealed to congress, to con-
turners, to businessmen and to la
bor leaders to "join in a relentless
war against this creeping infla
tion." ' So much for the political side of
the picture (we must remember
that everything that happens in
Washington is dominated by poli
tics.) Let's turn now to a strictly
BUSINESS view of what is going
en.
In its Business and Economic
Review for January 1959, the First
National Bank of Chicago says:
"Non-farm employment in No
vember increased slightly as em
ployees previously involved in labor
disputes returned to work. (Em
ployment usually declines in No
vember, so a rise this year is a
favorable sign.) Personal income
rose almost one per cont above
the preceding month to a RECORD
annual rate of $360 billion. In
creased wage and salary payments
accounted for the $2.4 billion rise
as several durable goods industries
resumed production following re
duced output in October.
"Consumer income for the full
year is estimated at $353 billion,
a new HIGH despite the lower
over-all level of business activity."
'. Note, please, that up to this point
the Chicago bank paints a bright
picture, as does the President.
But
- It then adds
"However, prices have increased
SOMEWHAT FASTER THAN IN
COME with the result that pur
chasing power DECLINED
SLIGHTLY in 1958."
That is to say:
' We're getting MORE dollars.
. They BUY LESS.
. That's inflation for you.
In conclusion:
. In principle, we're against infla
tion. In nrarlirp. we're for it.
That's why inflation is a tough
problem. ;.

pensation Commission had or
ders to work all night Monday,
rf necessary, to catch up with the
$500,000 backlog of jobless pay

Thornton
By PACL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM (API The Oregon Su
nreme Court Monday heard a di
reel challenge to Gov. Mark Hat
field's right to be governor, as
well as a protest over Hatfield's
appointment of Howell Appling Jr.
as Hatfield's successor as secre
tary of state.
The challenges were made by
Atly. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton,
who filed the suit claiming that
Pavid O'Hara, retired chief of
state elections, is entitled to the
office. O'Hara was appointed by
x-Gov. Robert D. Holmes.
Thornton argued that Hatfield,
because he didn't give ex-Gov.
Holmes a formal resignation as
secretary of state which would
have taken effect before Hat
field became governor last Mon
day, is still secretary of state,
and not governor.
Justice Hall S. Lusk asked
Thornton if he contends that
Holmes is si ill governor. Thorn

WASHINGTON (AP) Anaslas
I. Mikoyan left for Moscow to
day to report on his glad-handing
tour of the United States and his
inconclusive talks with top govern
ment officials.
The Soviet deputy premier ar
ranged to travel by train to New
York. He is due in Moscow
Wednesday after an overnight
transatlantic flight.
Mikoyan evidently was disap
pointed that he could not budge
Eisenhower administration leaders
from their restrictions on Soviet
trade and their policy of standing
firm against Soviet pressures over
Berlin. He charged that the cold
war is still on in the State Depart
ment.
State Department officials were
disappointed that the Soviet visitor
came up with no concessions in
Soviet policy on Berlin and other
German issues.
Mikoyan had his own explanation
of that as he made his final ap
pearance at a big Soviet Embassy
reception Monday night.
Why should we make conces
sions if no one else is making any
concessions? he asked a question
ing newsman. "Everybody is talk
ing about concessions but no one
is making them.
A highlight of the embassy re
ception was the unannounced ap

Alaska Chief
Said Critical
SEATTLE (AP) Alaska's Gov.
William A. Egan was reported
'extremely critical' today and an
emergency operation was sched
uled to relieve what surgeons said
was complete paralysis ot nis
bowels.
Egan, the first elected governor
of the 49th stale, was flown here
Monday afternoon after ailing to
recover satislactorny trom a gall
bladder operation in Juneau, Alas
ka. Jan. 6.
The gravity of his condition was
not disclosed unlil this morning.
Dr. Joel W. Baker, chief sur
geon at Seattle's Virginia Mason
Hospital, said Egan had devel
oped a bowel obstruction and
"complete paralysis" in complica
tions which followed surgery two
weeks ago.
Dr. Baker described the 44
year-old Democrat's chances of
recovery as "somewhat less than
50-50."
in the English common law, and
it validates Hatfield's right to be
governor and appoint his succes
sor.
Thornton relied upon a state
Supreme Court decision which
held that state Rep. Earl H. Hill
(R-C-ushman, Lane County)
should have resigned from the
Legislature before accepting e
post on the state Fish Commis
sion. Shields countered that that
decision applied only to legislat
ors, i
Tooze said Holmes had no right
to appoint O'Hara because there
was no vacancy in the office at
that time. He also argued that
Holmes had no right to reject
Hatfield's letter of resignation.
Shields declared Thornton's
original opinion, on which Holmes
assumed his right to fill the va
cancy, had so many restrictions
it would have made it impossible
for Hatfield to ever leave the of
fice of secretary of state.
Shields said the court must
keep the right of the people para
mount. The people, he said, de
sire that Hatfield be governor,
with the right to appoint his suc
cessor.
Mack Viewed
For Position
County Judge Charlie Mack was
scheduled for a conference with
Gov. Mark Hatfield in Salem today N
to discuss a possible appointment
to the State Tax Commission.
Contacted by telephone, Governor
Hatfield admitted he was consider
ing Mack for the post, but indi
cated that the appointment today
was an exploratory conference, and
that the appointment was not yet
definite.
If Mack receives the appointment
and accepts it, he would become
one of three members on the State
Tax Commission. The members of
the commission serve at the con
venience of the governor, and their
salary is set by the Board of Con
trol.
Salary range is from $9,000 lb
$10,500.
In the event, Mack resigns his
post as county judge to accept the
position, tne governor would name
a new county judge. The new judge
would have to be a Democrat, the
state having ruled some time ago
mat appointees to a county level
office must be ot the same party
as tne person resigning such post.
There were no indications local
ly as to who might be, named to
succeed Mack. Neither meters of
the Klamath County Democratic
Central Committee nor members
of the Hatfield for Governor Com
mittee indicated anyone was being
considered pending the actual ap
pointment of Mack to the tax com
mission.

House Solons
Claim Budget
Can Be Cut
WASHINGTON (AP) The
House Appropriations Committee
starts work on President Eisen
hower's 77-billion-dollar budget
today with two key members say
ing it can be cut.
But the general tenor of com
ments among Democrats who
hold large majorities in both
House and Senate indicated that
Congress is more likely to raise
than to decrease the total.
Maurice Stans, director of the
Budget Bureau, and Secretary of
the Treasury Kobcrl Anderson
were called before the committee
to explain details of Eisenhower's
spending plans for the year start
ing July 1. .
Both Chairman Clarence Cannon
(D-Mo) and Uep. John Taber of
New York, senior committee Re
publican, said they believed the
budget could be cut.
They never saw a budget that
couldn't be cut, they said in sep
arate statements. But they didn t
say where or how much. The com
mittee will work several months
on those questions.
Following today s meeting of the
bu-memoer group, me commiucc
will break up into subcommittees
to start whipping into shape more
than a dozen separate bills pro
viding the money to finance the
budget.
The first of the subcommittee.
and the largest, already has di
rected Secretary of Defense Neil
McElroy to provide later this
week details of the military por
tion of the budget.
About 60 per cent ot the pro
jected spending is for defense,
with emphasis on missiles and
space exploration.
That might not be enougn, com
mented Itep. George Mahon (D-
Tex I. head of the Delense sub
committee. Mahon said he feared
the defense budget may have
been shaved too close."
Cannon minced no words.. He
called the budget a political -docu
ment based on "contingencies
which no one expects to material
ize."
He referred to Eisenhower's es
timate that an expanding prosper
ity will add nine billion dollars to
the revenue totals estimated lor
this year.
Numerous other Democrats con
tended with Cannon that the esti
mate was more optimistic than
the economy now seems able to
support.
Other officials, including admin
istration experts, said the estimate
is realistic even conservative
in the light of booming corpora
tion profits aqd a continuation of
the business upswing.

Laws Asked
By President
WASHINGTON (AP)-President
Eisenhower said today the nation
faces a grave choice either self
discipline to prevent a damaging
inflation, or government controls
"which are alien to our tradition
al way of life."
Eisenhower sent to Congress his
economic report, third and last of
the major annual messages. It an
nounced a virtually full recovery
from the recession, forecast rec
ord income and production in 1959,
and held out hopes of tax reduc
tion reasonably soon thereafter.
It asked 31 laws to help "assure
a vigorous growth of our econ
omy.
But the message clearly was
meant as an alarm bell to rally
labor, business and consumers to
unite with the government in de.
fending the value of the dollar.
Wage rises that run ahead of
increases in output per worker,
Eisenhower said, push up prices,
hurt sales and impair American
competition in world markets.
Thus excessive wage costs ob
struct the creation of new jobs,
endanger Hie jobs of those now
working, and: "In short, they are.

The President appealed to in-
dustry to redouble its efforts to
nold the price line and "wapp a
ceaseless war against costs." He
urged consumers to shop carefully

He called on Congress, for the
Ihird time in a fortnight, to abide

budget which he sent
to the Capitol Monday for the
