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.

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.

Jim Harpole, scout executive of
the Modoc Area Council of the Boy
Scouts for the past four years,
announced today that he had ac
cepted a position as director of
field service for the Portland Area
Council, effective March 1.
Harpole came here in February,
1955, after three years' service as
district scout executive in Eu
gene. During his period of service
here, the Modoc Area Council has
grown nearly 50 per cent, from
2,685 boys in 90 scouting units to
3,884 boys in 137 units.
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. This period was marked
by the council's receiving in 1957
a citation from the National Com

Boy Scouts for a "superior" job
in rural scouting. Only 24 councils
in the nation received this honor,

On a domestic political matter.
Eisenhower said he would favor
repeal of the present constitution

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.

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.

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.
