WASHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower. 68, starts his seventh year in olfice today reportedly determined to keep the Democrat ic controlled Congress on the de fensive if it balks at his program.

A LANDMARK in tha Henley District is bowing to progress and is being Torn down. This 'building was put up in 1912 by the late J. S. McClellan and was a meeting place for " many years for neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. McClellan and their two sons, Verne, and Hugh "i lived in an apartment in the rear. Three sleeping rooms upstairs were rented to teachers Jwho boarded with the family. The land on which tha store was built was leased from .!- John Koontz who homesteaded 88 acres about 1890.

A thorough interim committee study on Oregon linance also was urged "to the end that a new formula for distribution of state aid be developed and presented to the 1961 Legislature." The statement, a two-year study on school costs and tax structure in most state school districts by the heads of the Portland sys tem school research and busi ness oflice heads, proposed these six points for the study: 1. It be developed as part ol Court Hears Of Beck Loan TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - Self- described millionaire Dave Berk applied for a "hardship loan" in 1953 from the Teamsters Union he then headed, a Federal Court jury was told. Monday. Union Comptroller William Mul- lenholz testified that Beck sought the loan so he could buy a house near Bethcsda, Md. He said the union had a rule which permitted loans to officers stationed in Washington, D.C. if they wanted to buy homes in the suburbs to beat the capital s high prices. Mullcnholz said that Beck planned to spend considerable time in Washington, D.C, as head of the international union and applied to the Executive. Board for the loan. Bui then Mrs. Beck took a look at Ihe house and the deal was off, he said. Beck is on trial on charges he evaded $240,000 in income taxes for the years 1!I50 through 1953. The government is seeking to prove that he obtained money from the union which added to his net worth but on which he did not nay income tax. Other testimony Monday showed that Beck often collected twice for hotel and travel expenses. Rec- ords showed that the union paid the bill for Beck, and often for members of his family who ac companied him, on trips. But Beck also drew a $15-a-day hotel allowance and $5 a day for mis cellaneous expenses while on trips Mullcnholz testified. The budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 already has been criticized by Democrats and some Republicans as inadequate and unrealistic. Aides said the President is ready to hit back at the critics. As an indication of his mood, an aide pointed to Eisenhower s ap peal to the American public within minutes after the budget went to the legislators for help in winning support lor it in Con gress, and in fighting off what he called spending pressure groups In a statement for television and radio use, Eisenhower said failure of the government to live within its means would encourage infla tion and diminish the value of every pay envelope. It was a foregone conclusion Eisenhower would stress the same theme in his annual economic re port to Congress today. In advance of dispatching that report, the President arranged to take part in the awarding of gold medals to missile expert Wernhcr von Braun and four other govern ment employes being honored for distinguished public service. Another ceremonial activity takes 'Eisenhower to the airport at midday to welcome Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi, arriv ing for a state visit. Last night Eisenhower and the first lady were hosts at a family dinner party marking Ihe 70th birthday of the President's eldest brother, Edgar, a Tacoma, Wash., attorney. Two other brothers, Earl and Milton, were on hand. So were the wives of Edgar and Earl, and the son and daughter-in-law of the President, Army Maj. and Mrs. John Eisenhower. a coordinated, over-all. long-range tinancing program tor state and local gowrnir.ent rather than for school alone.

"( reaie financial conditions conducive to the equal education al opportunity lor all children in tne state, recognizing that ade quate finance without proper or ganization cannot achieve this goal." the report said the present school finance law falls far short of these goals. It said under the present law state support fluctu atcs. equalization money goes to districts that could and should be reorganized and many districts with low total tax loads get large equalization payments while other districts with high tax loads get less.
