HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, January 28, I960 PAGE 3 A Six Hopefuls For Chief Not Always As Frisky As They Appear Today WASHINGTON (AP) The six men currently regarded as top contenders for presidential nomi nations (his year were not always e-j frisky as they appear today. The ills of the flesh have as lailed in varying degrees all of those who figured prominently in a campaign likely to put a pre mium on physical stamina. In seven years in office Presi dent Eisenhower has had three serious illnesses, including a heart attack, and voters can be epected to pay mire than or dinary attention to the health of the prospective candidates. , As the likely Republican nomi nee, Vice President Richard M U.S., Reds Sever Talks On Payment WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet reaction to collapse of lend-lease repayment talks may provide a clue to Soviet intentions in other negotiations this spring, U.S. offi cials said today. The United Stales broke off the talks Wednesday. It said the So viet Union was insisting on getting U.S. trade and aid agreements as part of negotiations that were supposed to deal only with Sovie repayment for U.S. lend-lease aid during World War II. No bitterness was expressed at Wednesday's final session, and American authorities professed to see no big impact on other sched tiled negotiations as a result. But some said that 'the virulence or lack of it in any Moscow effort to blame this country for the impasse could give a hint of what lies ahead in a March dis armament conference and the scheduled May summit meeting. The lend-lease parley was re sumed Jan. 11 as an outgrowth of Premier Nikita Khrushchev's Camp David meeting with Presi dent Eisenhower last September What the United States wants is fractional repayment, as it has received from other wartime al lies, on the mountains of lend lease goods sent to the Soviets in a common war against Hitler's Germany. Although the total of the military and civilian items sent the Soviets reached 11 billion dollars', Washington is seeking repayment just on items of civil ian economic value after the war. These U.S.-supplied goods in cluded a tire plant, oil refining equipment, communications gear, trucks and merchant ships. As un successful lend-lease talks ended eight years ago the United States was seeking 800 million dollars while the Soviets offered 300 mil lions. But the negotiators never really got into the hard dollars and cents figures this time. Explaining the collapse, the State Department said the Soviets have steadfastly held that a lend-lease settlement must be accompanied by simul taneous conclusion of a trade agreement giving most favored nation treatment to the Soviet Union, and the extension of long term credits on acceptable terms to the Soviet Union. The administration view is that onlv after a settlement of lend- lease will it consider asking Con gress for easing of restrictions on trade with the boviet union. - t3 Police Jail Paper Worker PORTLAND (AP) An employe of the struck Oregonian-Oregon Journal, who Tuesday told police he was beaten and threatened, was jailed Wednesday on a charge of making a false report to police. Police Sergeant John Fraser aid Tommie J. Buckner, 26, re i.ntpd that he fabricated the beat ing story, hoping It would make it easier for him to return to Oklahoma City, which he wanted In Hn Fraser said Buckner's wife left Monday for their Oklahoma tiiy home and wanted mm io stay on the job in Portland so he .-mild nav off family debts. Buckner was quoted by Fraser as saying he was reluctant, it i-ueiim his position as an instruc fr tnr new workmen at the struck newspaper plant. Fraser said Buckner felt the beating story would give him a good excuse for returning home. rr.r said Buckner cut scratched and hit himself and then told police two men had done " After the arrest Wednesday Buckner was fired by the manage ment of the comDinea newspdyei , n,o Portland Inter-Union News paper Committee contended the case was "another attempt by the ...kiichara nf the Orcgoman and Oregon Journal to smear news paper unions with the 'goonian- Nixon maintains that he has no worries on that score. But vigorous as he appears, Nixon at 47 is subject in times of stress to what he calls a nervious stomach. He also has a touch of hay fever now and then. Because he has high blood pressure, Nixon watches his diet closely, particularly while cam paigning. Doctors keep a check on his cholesterol (blood fat) count because of his blood pressure. Aside from infrequent rounds of golf, Nixon takes little exorcise except to walk from his office in the Senate office building to the Capitol, a distance of about two city blocks, a couple of times a day. Sen. John F. Kennedy D- Mass), 42, an avowed candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, gives every evidence of having recovered from a spinal injury for which he underwent surgery in October 1954. Kennedy was injured when the torpedo boat he commanded in World War II was hit by a Jap anese destroyer. He first was operated on in l'J45 but his con dition worsened in the early months of l'J."4 and he was forced to use crutches. He was on the operating tabic four hours that year, and returned to the hospital in February 1955 for removal of a metal plate that appeared to be slowing his recovery. Those who see Kennedy slide dewn comfortably in a chair these days and toss his leg casually over its arm are convinced he has no further spinal trouble. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D- Minn), 48, another avowed candi date, has not had a serious illness since pneumonia almost took his life when he was 7 years old. However, he has had two opera lions, one for a double hernia and the other an appendectomy. Those who see Humphrey going at top speed on long-hour days have no fears about his health Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson of Texas, who ob viously is available for his party's top nomination, is the only one of the group who has had a recorded heart attack. ' Johnson, now 51, was stricken at the home of a friend in Middlo burg, Va., in July 1955 with what was described as a moderately severe heart attack. He had been operated on in March of that year for removal of a kidney stone. Johnson is something of a despair to his wife and doctors who want him to take things a lot easer than he noes. rui me Democratic leader is a wound-up man who has trouble slowing down, even when he takes a rest on his Texas ranch. None of his colleagues gives a thought these days to the Johnson heart attack. His dynamo has not slowed down and he seems in vigorous health. And President Fisonhnwer's recovery from his heart attack has gone a long way to remove that ailment as a bar rier to election to the presidency. Like Nixon. Sen. Stuart Syming ton (D-Mo) has been Dotnerea in the Dast bv high blood pressure Symington, 58, is an unannounced candidate who says he would like to be president. Symington s recovery irom a March 1947 sympathectomy ap pears to have been complete. This a delicate operation in wnicn the sympathetic nerves to tne spine are severed to relieve high blood pressure. A golfer who often shoots in tne 0s. Symington was bacK on me course three momns aucr me operation. He says he feels fine physically and looks it. Adai E. Stevenson, wno cur rently is avoiding being proposed as a notential nominee, has had kidnev stone trouble, like John son. In June 1952 shortly before he was nominated for president by the Democrats the first time, Stevenson underwent an operation for removal of kidney stones. He had a similar operation in April 1954. However, Stevenson s doctors annually pronounce him in good health. He is now 60 and the pace he maintains indicates he has few worries on that score. Although not regarded as among the top contenders, ben. wayne Morse (D-Ore) has declared him- ;elf a serious candidate . for the nomination. The 59-year-old Morse has had some difficulties with animals. At an Orkney Springs, Va., sad die horse show in 1951 Morse was knocked cold by a horses kick. The senator suffered a broken jaw and lost some teeth. In 19 he was injured when he was thrown tc the ground in a sulky race at Salem. Ore. In 1953 Morse collapsed in the Senate reading room after a two- hour speech opposing confirmation of Charles E. Wilson as secretary of defense. He attributed this to what he called a "codeine black out," explaining he had been tak ing the pain-killing drug because his injured Jawbone had been scraped to remove a slight infection.

New berry Company store, was the first model to respond to Beach's Jewelers' big Sunday ad inviting 100 fem inine models to apply to dis play Beach's Jeweler's din ner rings.

(AP- Gov Mark Hatfield accused the Democratic majority in Congress Wednesday night of responsibility for a swelling backlog of federal court cases. Hatfield said creation of new federal judgeships "has been de laved four years by the Demo cratic majority in Congress in the hnnes a patronage-passing Presi dent of their own party would be coming along."

Ship Sinking Payola Told SEATTLE (AP) - A former skipper and a former crew mem ber of the fishing boat Cape Doug as testified Wednesday that Odd lohn Solnordal offered thein pay ments ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 lo sink the boat. Marvin Hamlin, 45, former cook on the vessel and now a truck driver, said he was offered $2,000. Capt. Jack Ray, 37, said he was oflercd amounts varying from $3,000 to $10,000. Both said they efuscd. Solnordal, K). a native of Nor way, is on trial in U. h. District Court on charges of wilfully sink ing the 78-foot craft in December, 1958, in Puget Sound by opening the sea valves. 1 He testified briefly in his own defense after the prosecution rest td following the testimony of Hamlin and Ray. He said he was veteran of 15 years at sea Under cross-examination, Ham lin conceded Solnordal didn't use the words "sinking or scuttling,' but he added: "I'd heard this talked over and thrashed over so many times I knew what he meant. That's all we talked about the whole trip ... to sink the boat because of bills and things The ship was insured for $80,000 but no payment of the claim has been made. By KLMKIt C. WALZEK Ul'I Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPD-Wall Street regards the stock market as a business barometer and hence is keeping a close tab on it to de termine a change in trend that might precede a business dip. The financial district recalls how the market fell in advance of the recession of 1957-1958 and how it rallied long before the business dip had touched bottom April of 1958 to anticipate a recovery movement. According to Miron Nacmanic, analyst for Green, Ellis & Ander son, the year 1960 will be a good ear, "but its rate of growth may not be as good as last. We arc, after all, in a later stage of cyclical expansion. Recent profit taking could be a direct conse quence of this realization." He believes a basically sound economy will probably work against any deep-seated market correction in the months ahead. "But," he adds, "there's noth ing that says it has lo propel stocks higher than they arc now. Don't forget that earnings of each share on the big board rose 6(1 per cent between the market peaks of 1949 and 1959 while prices went up 292 per cent." Nacmanie sees a record high n steel production in I960 with most of the companies having no trouble doubling their estimated 1959 earnings. He sees good business ahead for the truck producers with trucks taking big chunks of the nation's transportation business. Passenger car output of close to seven million units would turn 1960 into the second best year for that industry, he notes. Chemicals appear to be heading higher, aided by plastic which had a wide growth in 1959, he says. He finds drugs looking like chemicals. And he has some good things to say about the oil industry and feels that this year will see gen erally higher earnings and even number of dividend increases for the industry. "In the two years afler the 1949 recession," ho says, "energy demand rose an average of 1 per cent. During the same period following the 1954 recession rose 10 per cent. But so far the comeback in demand from ths latest recession, has been at rate only about half as good. 'The steel strike was a de pressing factor, leaving lots of pent-up demand. That's why as uch as a 6 per cent increase petroleum demand is being predicted by industry sources for I960." He looks for a good perform ance from companies making cctric appliances, electronic equipment, radio and TV sets, household furnishings, and from copper miners. Residential housing starts will be off about 10 per cent, he stimates, "but this should be offset by other types of construc tion, particularly industrial out lays for new plant and equipment." He estimates corporation prot i of around $27 billion, some 13 per cent ahead of last year. He indicates that the market s recent sclloff seems excessive beside the near-term business picture now taking form. School Funds Under Fire SPOKANE (AP) Former 6en. illiam F. Knowland of Caliiornia ailed upon Republicans Wednes day night to resist federal en croachment in the field of education. Federal funds ultimately will lead to federal controls, Know- land told an audience .of about COO at a GOP fund-raising dinner. Knowland urged Republicans to preserve the federal constitution and actively oppose the tendency break clown state lines. He said foreign aid should be cut sharply "as a necessary step to putting our domestic finances in order." There arc honest differences of opinion as to where the stress should be placed in national de fense and experts will not be in full agreement," the former Sen ate Republican leader said. But of one thing you may be certain President Eisenhower is dedicated to this, nation and the cause of maintaining peace with honor."
