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

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."

Appling Says
May Not File
SALEM (AP)-Howell Appling
Jr. said today there is a 50-50
chance he will not file for office
in the May primary election.
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."
