Bill mm yjj In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS At his press conference this morning. President Eisenhower vigorously defends his 77 billion dollar balanced budget against charges that it is politically moti vated and invalid. In doing so, he falls back on the sound military doctrine that a vigorous attack is the best de fense. He tells the reporters that the Democratic attacks on his budget are "coming from so many different angles that he can't es cape the conclusion that his oppo nents are suffering from budgetary schizophrenia." That crack sent the correspon dents scurrying to the reference . books. They discovered that Web ster's New International Diction ary defines schizophrenia as type of psychosis characterized by loss of contact with the environ ment and by disintegration of the personality. It includes dementia praecox and some related forms of insanity. If they had delved a little deep er, they would have found demen tia praecox defined as "a type of mental disease in which the vie- . tim WITHDRAWS FROM REAL- ' JTY and suffers from false percep tions and false beliefs and delu lions." Hmmmmmmmm. As a political leader, Ike is im proving. That crack is reminiscent of FDR at his best. Giant Storm Belts Nation With Snow All this calls for a little psycho analysis of Ike himself. He came to the White House with a soldier's background. When he became President, he had all of the professional soldier's dis taste for the processes of practical politics. In his six years in the While House, he has learned a lot including the fact that to be a successlul political leader one must make use of the processes and the procedures of practical politics. It isn't enough merely to issue an order. A political lead er must PERSUADE his associates and his followers to go along. Also, in politics, associates and followers must be REWARDED if they are to go along. They aren't interested in merely dying tor a cause. Politics is quite a trade. His performance at his press confer ence this morning suggests that perhaps Ike feels that he has served his apprenticeship as a po litical leader and that hereafter he must be accepted as a journey man. If so, he will he a 'more effec tive political leader from here on out. . KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A giant storm lashed the nation with snow, freezing rain, bitter cold and even thundershowers in the South as it crept across the mid continent today. The storm area stretched from northern New Mexico to Cape Cod on the coast of New England and from the southern Great Lakes into the Mississippi Valley. As it moved slowly northeast ward it dealt its harshest blows to the Midwest Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. Twelre deaths have been attri buted to the storm. All of the victims were killed in traffic acci dents on ice or snow covered roads. Three were killed in New Mexico. Montana, Pennsylvania and Iowa each reported two deaths, and Oklahoma, Kansas and linois had one each. In a special summary the Weather Bureau said snow, cold and high winds kicked up blizzard conditions in Nebraska, Iowa and the flatlands of central Kansas. Immediately ahead of the snow, there was a narrow band of freez ing rain. In the South, thunder- showers accompanied spring tem peratures. There was even a tornado Tues day night in Mississippi. : The funnel touched the ground near Vicksburg, but apparently did no damage. The heaviest snowfall this morning was in eastern Kansas and northern Missouri. Kansas City lay in the center of the area. At midnight, with four inches on the ground, the snow began again, and the Weather Bureau said it would reach eight inches.

Pearson (D-Port-land) took Gov. Mark Hatfield to task Tuesday for not having his finance program ready. Hatfield aays it will be ready Feb. 15. "He knew he was going to be governor," Pearson said. "He should have had his program ready to go. "We can't sit around waiting until half of the session is over for his tax program. Hatfield hasn't consulted the taxation com mittees to tell his ideas. "We can't sit here in the dark waiting for it." Pearson said he doubted wheth er Hatfield can find anything new In the tax field, anyway. Pearson said the appropriation bills would begin rolling through the Legislature in a few days, giving him hope that the session will last between 90 and 100 days The longest session in history was the 128-day session of 1957 ARGENTIA, Nfld. (API Anas- tas I. Mikoyan spent an unexpect ed night at the U.S. Naval Air Base in Newfoundland after the Scandinavian airliner carrying the Soviet deputy premier homeward was forced down with two engines out.

A Scandinavian Airline spokes man in New York expressed doubt sabotage lay behind the mishap while the four-engine DC7 was high over the Atlantic. There were 35 passengers and 14 crew mem bers aboard. The spokesman said the plane had been under close guard after it arrived at Idlewild and that New York police had inspected it thoroughly. The airline ordered a plane from Copenhagen to Newfound land to pick up the stranded passengers. Indians Fear Shortchange SALEM (AP) Representatives of the Klamath Indian Tribe told an Oregon Council of Churches Indian Affairs meeting Tuesday that they fear the federal govern mcnt might cheat them. Jess Kirk, Klamath tribal lead er, said his tribe "is not afraid of termination, but afraid of being cheated out of what is our right. We're afraid of being cheated by our great national government." But Joseph Lane, Salem, spokesman for coast Indians, re torted, that too many feel that the government owes them secur ity until they crawl into the grave. Sooner or later you'll have to assume the duties of full citi zenship." Representatives of the Umatilla Tribe said they are asking the Legislature to memoralize Con gress in an effort to avert federal supervision of their' tribe. Don Foster, area director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said non-Indians have a big responsi bility in making termination of Indian reservations successful. He and Harvey Wright, state Indian educator director, said that white people must accept Indians as full citizens and neighbors. Avex Miller, spokesman for the Warm Springs Indians, said his tribe fears termination, but that he hopes his people will be better educated for it than the Klam aths. f i "'J r' sPS Jj VI . $ t til Repeal Third Term Ban, President Tells Newsmen Death Seen Due For Yule Missile CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

The Modoc council, which covers five counties in Oregon and two in California, has grown in olher ways as well during the past four years.

Eisenhower told a news confer ence that was the purport of his message to Anastas I. Mikoyan, the Soviet deputy premier, as he left for home alter his U.S. visit. On a domestic political matter. Eisenhower said he would favor repeal of the present constitution al ban on a third term for presidents. Eisenhower has said repeatedly that he would not be interested primarily because of his age in a third term. There was no indica tion in what he said today that he has changed his mind about that The subject came up when a newsman recalled that Eisenhow er once said he thought it "not wholly wise" for the third term ban to' have been written into the Constitution. In reply, the President said lie still thinks it was not a particular ly wise decision. He added that if the American people want to make any man their president, then it should be up to them and he sees no objection to more than two terms.

Egan, 44. remained in critical condition although Dr. Leland Spalding, resident surgeon at Virginia Mason HospitaL said Ihe governor, a Democrat? was resting comfortably. Mrs. Egan and the couple s son, Dennis, 11, were at the bedside. The former storekeeper from Valdez underwent emergency sur gery Tuesday morning. He was flown here from Juneau, Alaska's capital, only a few hours earlier Dr. Joe W. Baker, who headed the team of surgeons, said after wards Egan had a "desperate chance lo get well. His chances Dr. Baker added, were "little less than 50 per cent."

Ihe visit by Mikoyan was much on the minds of the newsmen, and brought early questions. Eisenhower said the Kremlin leader offered no new proposals lor relief of world tensions at their meeting in the White House last Saturday. Referring then to the farewell message he sent Mikoyan Tues day, Eisenhower said the deputy premier must be sure that Amer ica wants peace. This country is willing to con ciliate and negotiate, Eisenhower went on, but the Soviets must un derstand that the United States simply won't ' be pushed around the news conference touched on Ihcsc other main topics: Civil Rights As for the hill of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) to create a federal con ciliation service to handle civil rights disputes. Eisenhower said he can t see that such a govern ment unit would be fruitful. But he added he is keeping an open mind on the matter. Eisenhower called again for ex- lensinn of the life of the Civil Rights Commission, now sched uled to go out of business in September. Johnson s but pro vides for such an extension Integration The fe d e r a 1 government is working on and studying the question of what to do about children of U.S. military personnel who are being barred SALEM (AP) The Oregon Su preme Court ruled unanimously today that Mark Hatfield Is legal ly governor, and that Howell Appling Jr. is secretary of Hate. The court rejected Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton's argument that Hatfield is still secretary of slate because he didn't submit a resignation that would have be come effective before he took the oath of office as governor Jan. 12. Hatfield appointed Appling, a 39-year-old Portland farm imple ment wholesaler, after becoming governor. Hatfield's predecessor as gover nor, Robert D. Holmes, had ap pointed David O'Hara. retired head of the slate elections division. Justice Hall S. Lusk wrote the opinion. Thornton, who repre sented (j Hara, lost on every count. The court ruled that when Hat field took the oath as governor, was an implied resignation as secretary of state. No vacancy in the office of secretary of stale occurred until that moment. The appointment of Mr. App- ing was in all respects lawful. the high court said. It said that the principal case which Thornton cited applies only to legislatures. In that case, the ourt had held that state Rep Earl H. Hill (R-Cushmanl should have resigned before going on the state Fish Commission. It added that Thornton's argu ment "does not appear to us to be sound. The dispute over whether Hat field or Holmes had the right to appoint the secretary of state be gan soon after the November election in which Hatfield, a Re publican, defeated the Democratic governor. Holmes obtained an opinion governor, and that he could nam the new secretary of state after taking the oath as governor on Jan. 12. The Hatfield attorneys did not bring suit before inauguration be cause they believed the courts would not take jurisdiction in the case. A few days before the inaugura tion. Holmes appointed O'Hara, effective upon receiving the Hat field resignation which never was given. Then Hatfield sent a letter of resignation to Holmes to become elfcctive when Hatfield qualified as governor. There was some douht whether Ihe Democratic-controlled Legis lature would permit Hatfield to be inaugurated. But the inauguration went off without a hitch. Seconds after taking his oath. Hatfield appointed Appling, who took physical possession of his office. But state Treasurer Sis Unander refused to honor any warrants signed by Appling, send ing the stale into a short financial crisis. The Hatfield lawyers planned lo file the suit immediately after the inauguration. But Thornton would not agree, wanting to file the suit himself. Thornton filed the suit Friday, and the Supreme Court heard the arguments Monday.

He said that of 15,000 children involved in the controversy at Norfolk, for ex ample, about 5.500 are the chil dren of military personnel. Of those, about 500 are being educated on military reservations. O'Hara was firmly ensconced in the secretary of states office.

CRATER LAKE High yesterday Massive Rally Backs Castro Executions HAVANA, Cuba (AP)-The dis-i tant chatter of firing .squad guns was the curtain raiser for a mas sive Havana rally today in sup port of the revolutionary govern ment's summary executions. Rebel bullets cut down a dozen men of ousted President Fulgencio Batista s defeated armed forces in Pinar del Rio, Cuba's westernmost province. All had been convicted of murder and other war crimes in a three-hour trial. These, plus 19 previously unre ported executions II at Cardenas in Matanzas province and 8 at iliguam in Oricnte province boosted the nationwide total to 247. Three others were reported un der death sentences in Pinar del Rio and 38 in Oricnte province of east Cuba. Havana workers took the day off to participate in the rally. Fidel Castro called for a half million persons to throng the pnrk in front of the Presidential Palace this afternoon. The revolutionary leader said this would be Cuba's answer to foreign criticism of iwift retribu tion for those convicted by mill-1 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (D-NY) tary courts of crimes against the arived Tuesday and Rep. Charles people during Fulgencio Batista s f. rorier iij-urei sam in wasn dictatorship, The first of a series of public trials in Havana was announced to begin Thursday in the city's 15,000-scat Sports Palace. Castro said the rally in Havana would support justice and "de mand that the United Stales re turn the war criminals." No for mal requests for extradition of Ba tista followers who fled to the United States have been reported so far in Washington. To assure a big turnout, labor chief David Salvador declared a holiday for all workers from 6 a.m. until midnight, Many Cubans were expected from the provinces. The firebrand orator of the rev olution. Castro himself, did not let hoarseness deter him from plans to address the massed Cubans, He has been in bed with grippe. Castro Invited some 350 re porters of the Americas for the rally and trials and also asked aeveral U.S. congressmen. Rep. ington he would come. Several other members of Congress De clined. About 200 foreign newsmen were expected. Castro has been particularly re sentful of criticisms of the exe cutions by U.S. congressmen. He has accused the United States of furnishing bombs and guns to Ba tista during much of the revolu tion and has attacked the lack of U.S. challenges to Batista's re pression, The leader of the revolt has con tended that police and the mili tary under Batista were respon sible for 20,000 deaths. The aim of the executions, he and other leaders have stressed, is justice (or these not vengeance. Castro claims 93 per cent of all Cubans favor continued trials and executions as a means of purify ing the country and restoring order quickly. To wait for re-establishment of civil courts, ha says, might result in widespread lynchings by enraged Cubans.
