HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Pro. Tuesday. January 12, 19B0 PAGE THREE Nixon's Entry In Race Brings Praise, Criticism WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Richard M. Nixon's en try into me presidential race sparked both praise and criticism during the weekend. Politicians were not at all hesi tant m expressing their views not only on Nixon, but also on matters ranging from religion to missile tests and alleged executive misin formation. Nixon became an acknowledged GOP candidate by consenting to have his name and delegate slates entered in three primaries. The announcement was made without Mitchell Sees No Inflation In Settlement DETROIT (AP)-The steel wage settlement is in line with others negotiated this year and cannot set oft a wage spiral with highly inflationary effects, Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell said to day. And there will be no steel price increases for some time to come if management and labor try to increase the rate of steel produc tivity, Mitchell added. He said he was sure both sides would make " such an effort. . Mitchell's comments were made : in an address prepared for the : Economic Club of Detroit. Mitchell, credited with playing a major role in last week's settlc- ; mcnt of the 116-day steel strike, - also said there may never again be a major steel strike in this country. "With good will and good sense, and with awareness that an eco nomic institution like a steel cor poration or a labor union must serve the public interest as fully as its own interests, it could be possible on the basis of this set tlement that the United States will have seen its last major steel strike," Mitchell said, Mitchell said that in the now set tlement the steel companies and the United Steelworkers Union have cut the postwar wage in crease trend by half. He quoted Roger Blough, chairman of the board of U.S. Steel, as saying the average annual increase in hourly employment costs under the new "- terms will be 34 to 3 per cent compared with other postwar set tlements in which the increase av ' eraged about 8 per cent. -'" Mitchell said some news' stories on the settlement created misun derstanding. He said they did not take into account the fact that the steel settlement has been de scribed in terms of total employ ment costs, while other major re cent settlements have been de scribed in terms of wages and ben efits to workers. Employment costs also include s.ich items as Social Security and unemployment compensation taxes paid by employers on the basis of their payrolls. "Thus, Mitchell said, to say that the reported steel package of 39 cents is comparable to the re ported aluminum package of 28.2 cents is not only untrue but mean ingless. The steel package figure describes total employment costs to the companies: the other is a description only of the wages and benefits received by employes.' Padded Claims Increase Rates NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - An Insurance official says padded claims are forcing up premium rates. J. Dewey Dorsctt, general man ager of the Assn. of Casualty and Surety Companies, told a group of insurance men Monday that "The damage suit has become a national pastime." He said increases in auto lia bility insurance rates would be necessary as long as a claim-conscious public schemes with some unethical lawyers and doctors to "forget about morals and fair ness" and inflate injury claims, fanfare by his press representa tive, Herbert G. Klein. The three primaries involved are in New Hampshire March 8 Ohio May 3 and Oregon Maj? 20. Nixon is considered a cinch for the nomination. New York's Gov 'elson A. Rockefeller said during the holidays he would not seek it, and no one else has appeared to challenge Nixon. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill), the Senate Republican leader, said he wasn't surprised by what he called the agreeable news about Nixon. He added "we do believe we have a candidate who is a winner." Dirksen said Rockefeller had made a "very realistic and very practical" move in withdrawing. Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky) Republican national chairman said Nixon would be an "articu late, vigorous and tough candi date." Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler had a different de scription. He termed Nixon a "shrewd, devious political operator." The two chairmen agreed on one point. They told a television audience that religion will not be an important factor in the fall elections. One of the announeed contenders for the Democratic nomination is Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) a Roman Catholic who also has made it clear that he thinks reli gion should play no part in the consideration of candidates. Kennedy's only announced oppo nent for the nomination so far is Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D- Minn). He was speech-making in the West during the weekend. Humphrey said in an interview at Salt Lake City that the United Nations should supervise missile tests and that the United States should ask the U.N. to supervise underground nuclear tests. Humphrey said the biggest sin gle issue in the presidential cam paign is "the erosion of American leadership." Former President Harry Tru man also had something to say about leadership. Speaking at Phoenix, Ariz., Tru man said: "I blow up at what's been done not for the people but to the people in the last seven years. Vote for a halo once more and see what you get." Truman said again he probably won't endorse a Democratic presi dential candidate until just before the Democratic convention next July. He has denied reports that he. already has ..decided'-on Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo). Symington said President Eisen hower "was misinformed in some ot the things he told the people" about national defense in his State of the Union message last Thurs day. He said the President was mis taken in the estimates he gave of over-all American missile strength and the extent of American ability to launch the Polaris missile from submerged submarines. Syming ton himself supplied no figures, out said that in missiles we are lartner behind than we were a year ago." Ohio's Democratic Gov. Michael V, DiSalle, who has pledged all-out support to Kennedy, said he thought any of the potential Dem ocratic nominees could be elected president. DiSalle also said he had some doubts about the part Nixon played in last week's settlement of the 116-day steel strike. "If I were a member of the Senate," the gov ernor said in a television inter view,. "I think I would want to look into what was promised the steel companies." Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) said in a television interview that he would not favor an Easterner as a running mate for Nixon. He said his choice for the vice presi dential spot would be cither Dirk sen or Rep. Charles Halleck of Indiana.

Meany Sees Voter Revolt WASHINGTON (AP)-AFL-CIO President George Meany said to day the administration and Con gress can expect a voters' revolt in November unless the "Wash ington posture of sit-down and do no'hing" is changed. The American people, Meany said, "do not see any point or profit in the collapse of the func tions of our government, whether the breakdown takes place in the middle of the road or on either side." Meany's remarks were prepared for the opening of a three-day rally of 600 AFL-CIO union offi cers called to drum up support for a series of union-wanted meas ures in Congress. He said the country has been drifting backward, instead of forg ing ahead. 'Not only in outer space but right here on solid earth," he said, Ihe United States faces an enorm ous and growing deficit in nation al defense, in education, in hous ing, urban renewal, industrial ex pansion, social security, modern roads, airports and community facilities." Among other specific measures, he again called on Congress to boost the present dollar an hour minimum wage to $1.25 while also Applying the minimum to more workers. He demanded fed eral unemployment compensation standards and medical cost insur ance for social security beneficiaries. These and similar proposals have not been enacted before now, Meany said, because of "financial timidity and political cowardice. Dress Placed On Exhibit LOS AXCELES (API-People's exhibit 31 lay on the table beJore the witness stand. There was a bullet hole in it. The exhibit was the while cock tail dress Barbara Jean Finch was wearing July 18 the night the state says her husband, Dr. U. Bernard Finch, murdered her. Dr. Finch, his face unlined and young at 42, fixed an almost bland gaze on police Capt. William M. Ryan as the officer testified Mon day in a precise, professional voice. "There is a hole in the dress," Ryan said, "and there was a round wound in the victim's back. It appeared to be a bullet impact wound. A round hole in the dress corresponded in position." Ryan tcstilicd to the search his officers made of Ihe Finch home and the hills surrounding it in suburban West Covina. He said his officers were seeking two things: a pistol and Dr. Finch. The pistols was never found. Dr. Finch was arrested the next day in Las Vegas, Nov., at the apart ment of his mistress, Carole Treg oft, 23. Miss Tregoff, a titian-haircd ex model, also is on trial, charged like Finch with murder and conspiracy. Former Michigan Farmer Likes Future In Australia BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (API Stanley Yankus is convinced his future happiness lies' in Australia. The former Michigan farmer at tracted international attention with his long, losing fight against ef lorts of Ihe United States govern ment to tell him how much wheat lie could grow on his farm near Uowagiac, Mich. Yankus pulled up stakes in Michigan last May 15 and headed lor a new life in Adelaide, Aus tralia. In a recent letter to the Benton Harbor News Palladium. Yankus indicated he still feels bitter about his treatment by U.S. officials. His troubles began in 1953 when a U.S. government employe went to Yankus' 100-acre farm and told him that under federal wheat con- Sen. Morse Seeks Post WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) said Mon day he will enter the District of Columbia's primary May 3 as a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Morse earlier had said his name ill be entered in Oregon's May 20 primary as a favorite son can didate. Morse has been a member of the Senate District of Columbia Committee for years, and has a wide acquaintance in Washington. Some political observers here said Morse's entry into the race might upset the plans of Sen. Hu bert Humphrey (D-Minn), who is campaigning nationally for the Democratic presidential nomina tion. Nine delegates are at stake in the district's election. Historian Calms Indian Problem BOISE, Idaho (AP) Because Ihe Indians considered home a locality instead of a place, all three Northwest states can claim Chief Joseph, a historian said Sat urday. The comment came after Met- ro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio's an nouncement it planned to film the life of the Nez Perce chief in Washington raised protests from both the governors of Oregon and Idaho. Both said the film should be made where Joseph lived. To the Indian," said H. J, Swinney, director of the Idaho Stale Historical Society, "home meant a locality and it changed with the seasons. Joseph certainly lived in all three states at one time or another." FIGHTS WRINKLES, SOILING!

Oregon's secretary of state told Ihe Capital-Journal the state office has been a losing one for him financially. I was making much more money before I took office," he said. The secretary of state gets $12,500 a year. ' "I still haven't decided," An pling said. "I think that it is the duty of every citizen to serve when and if he is needed. . . . That is why I am having difficulty in' making up my mind." Appling was appointed to the post a year ago this month by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Senator Asks UN Atom Test SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (API Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey ID- Minn) proposes the United States salvage the deadlocked nuclear test talks at Geneva by recom mending a series of underground nuclear bomb tests under the di rection of the United Nations. The tests, would be conducted cooperatively by the atomic pow ers and would show how an ade quate system of detection and in spection could be developed. Humphrey said in an interview Sunday. The Soviet Union, Great Britain and the United States resume the lest ban talks in Geneva Tuesday. They recessed last month in a deadlock over Soviet rejection of findings by U.S. scientists that un derground atomic blasts could be hard if not impossible to detect. Humphrey, here on his cam paign as a candidate for the presi dential nomination, said the Un supervised test scries probably would take two or three years but would clear up the major point of dispute in the Geneva talks. Humphrey said the United States should also call for ban ning of nuclear tests in space, the atmosphere and underwater," but indicated there would not be much disagreement over that since "all three of these types can be proper ly inspected." trol laws, Yankus could plant only 15 acres, instead of his 35-acre crop. Yankus kept on planting his full acreage, feeding the surplus to his chickens. He fought through the years, appearing before Congress and the Michigan Legislature, and in federal court. Then he gave up and went to Australia. Yankus' farm days apparently are behind him. He works for Pope Products Ltd., a home ap pliances firm, and makes $36 a week. In his eight months Down Un-i der, Yankus has built a house and bought an Australian auto. Al- though his salary is little more than I Australia's minimum wage. Yank-! us has been able to build a $12,500 three-bedroom home. He wrote that he, his wife, Mil dred, and children, Russell, 13, Dennis, 12; and Karon, i, are ac quiring new food tasles. Speaking of his new job, Yankus wrote: "Pope Products has not had a strike in 30 years. I am not a union member nor have I been requested to join. The type of union violence that exists in America does not exist in Aus tralia. The roan who owns a fac tory has the right to fire an em ploye while in America this right has been stolen by the unions." Yankus concluded: "I am plan ning to live in Australia per manently. I will never forget all the wonderful American people 1 knew." SOME CAME RUNNING PAGE, Arir. (AP) - The town fire siren sounded at noon Monday and 16 volunteers came running.
