Attention Distracted From Ike's Missile Plan WASHINGTON UPI - The missile controversy has distracted attention from President F.isen hower's over-all defense plan as spelled out in his fiscal lust budg et. II is a hold-the-line plan that gives unqualified satisfaction to very few and worries very many. Military chiefs support it only with major reservations, and some lield commanders challenge some of its basic premises. The plan calls for S40.577.uoo,- 0(10 in new money, a cut of 70 million dollars from this year. Actual spending will increase 50 million dollars to a tola! of S40,- tm.i.ooo.ono.

March 14. fwwj mum in m n HERALD Eisenhower says unequivocally that the military plan does just ihal. He is standing pat, asserting hr considered all the issues now be ing raised publicly before he put his budget together. He is depend- in? on his great prestige as a for mer live-star general to win na tional support for his view. Republican supporters in Con gross have been having heavy go- in; in the face of attacks by such Democratic leaders as Sens. Lyn don .Johnson 'Texas) and Stuart Symington 'Mo. i and Speaker Sam Rayhurn and Rep. Carl Vin son (Ga.l, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. While the debate on missiles rages publicly, the House Mili tary Appropriations subcommittee under Chairman George Mahon D-Texasi has been working or the dclensc spending plan quiet ly hehind closed doors. Mahon usually reluctant to make public comnx'nts during the course 'of appropriations hearings, has said (he United States now has su perior striking power but faces a "frightening situation" because ol Russian missile superiority. Mahon has spoken of a possi ble need for further reorganiza tion of the Defense Department The administration plan recog nizes. to some extent at least, the dangerous period ahead when Russia admittedly will have su perior numbers of missiles. Its new defense plan calls for money, albeit far less than Gen. Thomas S. Power of the Strate gic Air Command iSACi wants, lor practicing an airborne alert with SAC bombers. The idea is to be ready to put a large part of the bomber ' force on continuous patrol in an emergency so it could not be destroyed on the ground and could swiftly retaliate against missile attack. The administration plan also in creases planned intercontinental ballistic missile squadrons from 20 to 27 and adds three new Po laris missile submarines to bring the planned total to 12. Otherwise, the budget stretches out some military programs, such as the B-70 and B-58 bomhers. and kills others. It cuts previous ly authorized military manpower by ni.nno, reducing strength In 2.4Sil.00(l. The level thus will drop below 2.5(10.0(10 for the first time since the Korean War build up. A strong case can be made for the argument that the budget will t.uy less defense in fiscal 11)111, which" starts July 1 than for fis cal IflfiO. That is because, as do fense officials have emphasized manpower costs, the price of weapons and the bill for operation iind maintenance increases an nually. Eisenhower recognized this in his budget message. He said that ii. creases in operating costs out weigh savings from reduced pro grams and "Irom economy meas ures. . ." Some military leaders believe the budget should have been 2 billion to 3 billion dollars greater. Thry are concerned about the long-range implications lor U.S. strategy in a plan that essential ly holds the spending line in the face of rising costs. Delense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr., however, has slated the administration's position this way in capsule form: The United States is far super ior to Russia in strategic bomb crs, the chief means of deliver ing nuclear weapons today. While Russia will have "moderate" mis sile superiority in the next three vears, it 'will not he enough (or the Russians to make a "ration al" decision In attack. U. S. sea- power is clearly superior. While Russia has tar superior numbers of ground forces, the comparison is "more favorable" when the armies of the entire Free World ;.re counted.

The scales were discovered and brought out to public view after having lain unused since the days that the yellow metal was taken in quantity (rom the earth to be turned into the channels that pro vided meat and bread and strong drink (or the men who shoveled and sluiced and panned and dredged. The scales were remembered by William G. Hagelstein, now ad ministrative vice president of the statewide banking system of Great Western Banks. Hagelstein, who be gan his long banking career in 1914 as a janitor with the First State and Savings Bank in Klam ath Falls, has progressed through hank ownership, and presidency o( the Butte Valley State Bank, Dor ris, to his present increased ad ministrative status. The Dorris bank was merged some time ago with Great Western. !

Been , JS 31497 Inflation Top Problem Says Banking President NEW YORK (UPI) - In the year-to-year operation of banking, the banker acts as a .custodian of dollars without being responsi ble for keeping them at a certain size in purchasing power. He can operate with or without inflation. He pays out dollars, be they large or small, with equal celerity. He isn't responsible for the value of the money he han dles. But bankers are the ones who best understand money opera tions. They know the economic climate best suited to dollar sta bility. Hence, the nation-wide interest in the decision of the 14.000 member American Bankers Asso ciation lo move ahead on a broad JEWS, Views By TIM MASON Spring vacation ... In order to head off a serious outbreak of that crippling "dis ease" known as spring fever or plain laziness, the week of March 14-18 was granted as a week of no school! Students can then study for the nine weeks' exams com ing up after vacation and it gives students a chance to attend the Oregon A-l Basketball Tournament at Eugene and root the mighty KUHS Pelicans on to victory. The tournament has become a great thing for KU students. They hope to see a large number of townsfolk in the Klamath rooting section in McArthur Court. The second in the series ol spring concerts was presented Thursday in Mills Auditorium by the KUHS music department, fea turing the freshman chorus under the direction of Don Herbig and the symphonic band directed by LaMar Jensen. KU's first cleanup week was a success after a lot of hard work by committee members and chair man Susan Lcidke.

Remington, president of ABA, told United Press Inter national that his organization is convinced that "inflation still is our No. 1 domestic problem one we are going to have to contend with for many years to come." He found neither the recent leveling off in living costs nor the stock market decline that carried on most of this year as offering any grounds for the belief the inflation problem is about to vanish. Educated for the law, Reming. Ion turned to banking as a trust officer for the Lincoln Alliance Bank & Trust Co. of Rochester, N.Y., 30 years ago. Today he is president of that hank, now known as the Lincoln Rochester Trust Company. He has been traveling around the country, speaking against the evils of inflation and the respon sibility of bankers in educating the people in its dangers. "There are many people, some in influential positions," says Remington, "who are unwilling or unable to agree that we have had a serious inflation or who say that if we have inflation, lets have more of it or who would say that a little inflation is a good thing and that a rising price level is essential to economic growth. Still others say inflation is inevitable." Inflation Poses Challenge This situation, he says, "pos a challenge which the banking industry must meet through every resource at its command. "As bankers, we play a unique role in the functioning of the nation's economy. "Millions upon millions of peo ple look upon us as guardians ol their money the tangible, bank able fruits of their labors, their savings. "We represent to them respon sible trustees in stewardship of their money and responsible leaders in the world of finance who handle their money in such a way that it will retain its value for them in future years. "Because of this trust, which so many people place in us. we must continually strive to earn and justify it. "As responsible leaders, we must make our voices heard nrlt only to our own customers but also to the citizens as a whole, as well as to our law makers. "You might say, therefore, that this new, big and ambitious pro gram we have initiated shows that we fully accept our respon sibilitiesthat we really mean business in this fight lo reserve the value of Ihe dollar, foster sound economic growth in a stable economy." No Danger Remington doesn't see danger of a runaway inflation in the foreseeable future. But, he holds, the continuing threat is "the virus of creeping inflation." In fighting this threat, the ARA is aiming its informational activi ties at grass roots education, Remington says. The association plans to use all available methmfs in its program nation-wide dis tribution of specially prepared booklets and leaflets, speeches by bankers before local community organizations, special bank dis plays, advertising and wide pub licity. "Using both the written and the spoken word," Remington says, "we will seek to explain the fac tors underlying economic growth, help combat the notion that infla tion is inevitable, show why a shrinking dollar is always cause for concern, and advocate policies that are a must if we are to have orderly economic growth in our lifetime."
