Staie Of The Union
PJlost Prosperous
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Eisenhower told a cheering Con
gress today his new budget will
call for a $4,200,000,000 surplus.
Eisenhower announced in his
State of the Union address that
the budget for the fiscal year be
ginning July 1 will propose ex
penditures of $79,800,000,000.
This meant, with his prediction
of a surplus, that he anticipated
revenues would be about 84 billion
dollars.
Eisenhower said he wants the
predicted $4,200,000,000 excess of
revenues applied as a reduction
of the national debt.
THE PRESIDENT said that he
prefers not to call it just a debt re
duction but "a reduction in our
children's inherited mortgage."
These figures had not been in
cluded in the prepared address,
distributed to newsmen in ad
vance of Eisenhower's speech.
The President added them as
interpolations in delivering his
speech. To save time, he cut out
In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
For people who are willing to
undergo the agonies involved in
doing a little serious and construc
tive thinking, there's an interest
ing story in the news today.
It concerns the politicians (es
pecially the Republican politicians)
and Vice-President Nixon, who at
the moment looks like a shoo-in
for the GOP nomination for Presi
'dent. Some of these politicians, the
story says, are saying that Nixon
"ought to identify himself as
something of a liberal" IN ORDER
TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY
OVER A DEMOCRAT.
A question:
WHAT DOES NIXON BE
LIEVE? My personal opinion is that
whatever he BELIEVES IN is
what he ought to STAND FOR.
William Shakespeare, who lived
and wrote some 400 years ago,
put it about as well as it can be
put when in Hamlet he causes
Polonius to say to Laertes:
"This above all: to thine own
self be true,
"And it most follow, -, as th
night the day, 1
"Thou canst not then be false
to any man."
Pretty high-brow, you say?
Wait a minute.
How do you judge your friends,
your neighbors, your associates,
the people you come more or less
generally in contact with? When
you come to the conclusion that
they MEAN WHAT THEY SAY,
does your respect for them grow?
Or do you respect most highly
those people who merely say
WHAT THEY THINK WILL BE
MOST POPULAR?
I'll offer a guess that if you
amount to a hill of beans you
have more confidence in sincere
people than in people who are not
sincere.
So-'
. Personally
I hope Mr. Nixon doesn't "iden
tify himself as something of a lib
eral in order to win the Presi
dency over a Democrat."
I hope he stands for what he be
lieves in and lets the chips fall
where they may.
In conclusion, a word about Ike
who as this is written is deliver
ing to the congress his message
on the State of the Union.
This newspaper is printing ' a
reasonably comprehensive resume
of what he is saying. You should
read it, even if it is pretty long.
But you should keep in mind how
such documents are habitually put
together. They an! designed- to con
tain a little candy for everybody.
If Ike's message on the State of
the Union is worth reading . '. .
and heeding ... it will be be

dom says for public consumption
anything he doesn't believe in.

Makes Aircar
For Only $4
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) -
The Curtiss-Wright Corp., one of
America's most important firms,
spent thousands and thousands of
dollars, several years of research
by top scientists and the use of
intricate and delicate machines
to build a wheclless car that
would float on air.
Craig W. Vetter, 17, an average
American high school student with
average grades, spent $4, a little
spare time and a conglomaration
ol junk, including a chain saw
engine, an old tractor radiator
fan and some plywood, to do thei
same thing.
The amazing thing is that both
succeeded.
Curtiss-Wright recently put its
car of the future on display in
New York's Rockefeller Center.
It rose on furious jets of air,
swirled leaves around it and
truly was a sight to behold and a
credit to American industry.
Young Vetter's infernal ma
chine is a tremendous compli
ment to the ingenuity of Ameri
can youth in the young state of
Alaska. -. '
Vetter became interested in the
aircar, called a Ground Effect
Machine (GEM), when he read
an article in a science journal
on the possibility of using such a
device m the army of the future.
"1 figured there was a real
need for such an invention in
Alaska," Craig told United Press
International. "It would be near
perfect since it can skim over
the lightest of snow and even
ice."
Craig's machine, which works
on a five horsepower motor, has
undergone such successful test
runs that officials at Elmendorf
AFB here have permitted him the
use of its workshop.

The sound of the explosion
Wednesday was answered by the
dull thud of a body crumbling to
the pavement. It was Dominic
Pagliuca, 51, a well-known' civic
leader and businessman who
dropped mortally wounded.
"My God!" said Burns, his face
paling to a deathly white. "I fired
into the lawn. The bullet must
have ricocheted."
Pagliuca, affectionately known
as Nick to his Inends and the

the shot was fired. The bullet
skipped from the ground and
struck him near the heart. He
died on the way to a hospital.

Pagliuca moved to Tucson in 1944
and set up a chain of shoe stores.
He soon became beloved for his
open-hearted charity work and his

Mean January
Is Predicted
WASHINGTON (UPI) For a
while it looked as though . the
high westerlies had reformed and
would let us have a moderately
decent January.
But they backslid with re
sults already bitterly apparent
over much of the country. In
stead of balmy and benign, Janu
ary promises generally to be mean
and miserable.
The high westerlies are the
lofty rivers of air which appear,
by the way they flow, to dictate
the weather pattern of the north
ern temperature zone.
These air currents normally
move in gently undulating courses
from West to East. Sometimes,
however, they get diverted for un
known reasons into an abnormal
zig-zag system which carries
them far to the North and deep
into the South as they make their
way across the continent.
When this happens, warm trop
ical air clashes with cold polar
air and we get what Dr. Jerome
Namias calls "a vigorous winter."
According to Namias, chief of
the weather bureau's extended
forecasts section, the high west
erlies went wrong early last fall.

Government Aides Agree
To Restudy Water Level
WASHINGTON (AP) - Govern

to restudy water level require

of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife

whether any change in the exist
ing regulations would be possible
without endangering the nesting
grounds of ducks on the Pacific
flyway.
The Interior Department, accus
ing the district of having failed
to maintain proper water levels
in 1959, announced Dec. 11 that it
would take over operation of the
district's pumping and drainage
system Feb. 14 unless the district
gave assurance that it would
comply with wildlife regulations
in tile future. .
At the start of an all-day con
ference requested by district otti-
cials, Under Secretary of Interior
Elmer F.- Bennett refused to en
tcrtain any challenge of1 the de
partment's right to resume oper
ation of the pumps, a part of the
Klamath Reclamation Project
He told district representatives
they could go to court if they had
any doubts as to their obligation,
under a 1956 contract, to operate
the project under rules prescribed
for the protection of wildlife.
Maurice Stranlz, manager of
the district, said the district could
not maintain as high a water
level as required in the early
spring and in the fall without
risking damage to agricultural
lands from floods.
Present regulations require
maintenance of varying water
elevations in the Tule Lake sump
area from March 1 to Dec. 1 each
year.
Strantz objected principally to
water level increases ordered in
the early spring and during the
fall hunting season, but he said
the summer requirements also
cost the district extra expense
for dike maintenance.
Quick said the bureau of sports
fisheries would try to determine
whether it could relax regulations
regarding the earliest part of the

signed to maintain marshy areas
for duck nesting in the spring
and lo permit access to hunters
later in the year.
Quick said it is recognized that
the prescribed levels cannot be
maintained precisely, but could
vary in accordance with flood or

said, he was not in a position to
define the area of deviation that
could be permitted. . "
