GOP Reversing Trend Toward Centralization New GOP Policy Most Obvious In Natural Resources WASHINGTON, UP —The first Republican administration since 1932 stead is reversing the trend toward centralised Washington government which was so carefully developed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. That is a basic policy of President Eisenhower’s administration. He has stated it repeatedly, most recently last month in signing a bill amending the natural gas act. The amendment permitted removal from federal regulation of persons and facilities distributing imported gas aolely within the bound- i — arias of a state. "i have approved this bill,” the President said, "because of my conviction that the interest of the individual citizen will be better protected when they remain under state and local control than when they are regulated or controlled by the federal government.” That is a real new look. Along with such additional rights, the Eisenhower theory is that the states and local communities should assume additional responsibilities. There is a definite move to compel or persuade states and ~ local communities to look less and less to Washington for regulation and assistance. This is not true In all fields of course. Mr. Eisenhower is seeking expanded federal operations in housing, social security, health insurance. The new policy is most* obvious in the area of natural resources. A notable example was last year’s legislation which gave states ownership of the tidelands. The Republicans have moved sharply from the Roosevelt-Truman position on public power. The federal power program now looks toward increasing local control after long years of federal domination of the development of power resources. The new power policy says that the supplying of power for a community is a local responsibility with such assistance as may be necessary from Washington. This represents a tremendous swing of policy from the position established hy the Democrats who conceived and executed the Tennessee Valley Authority develop-. rnent. Former’ President Hoover recently called TV A an example of 2d years of creeping socialism. In the field of labor legislation. Mr. Eisenhower’s ideas are along the same states’ rights lines. He

recently proposed and the house labor committee adopted a TaftHartley act amendment providing H at the federal law shall not interfere with a state law for dealing with labor disputes which create "a clear ahd presertt danger to the health or safety" of the residents of the state. Such basic policy fhanges as ' these are accompanied by loud dispute. Advocates of the public pow--1 er theory are charging the adminI ist ration with a sell-out. Secrej tary of interior Douglas Mac Kay l replies that the private power in- ’ dustry shall be permitted to live. He believes however, that public power should be available if adequate and properly priced power is not otherwise to be had. There is angry labor protest against this Republican trend to- ; ward placing greater responsibilities on states and local com mufti - ties. It will be one of the major issues in this year’s general election campaign, although the big- ' gest Eisenhower decentralisation 1 of power now is almost forgotten. That was one of his first acts, the abolition of price control. Police Radio Aids In Nabbing Thief Jay County Youth Jailed At Portland Preston Pyle, chief marshal of Geneva, got good use of his new police radio Monday afternoon. Max Cox, 22, Jay county, is in jail at Portland charged with the theft of an automobile belonging to Carl Neal* Berne, route one, which. -was stolen from Water street in Berne Monday afternoon. ..

Morano (R-Conn.) urged that the United States refuse to attend the Geneva conference “until it has been clearly established that Red China is not engaged in aggression in InI dochina.”

I 2_ EISENHOWER IN (Continued From Pane One) of leveling off,” he said. The massive hydrogen bomb tests in the Pacific have led to worldwide concern about the chances of an atomic war. But Mr. Eisenhower warned against "hysterical thinking,” “the jitters or any kind of panic.” He said the “men in the Kermlin” are well aware of the “sobering" effect that would flow from such a conflict. And of all of these, he added, “none is greater than the retaliation that would certainly be visited upon them if they were to attack any of our nation or any part of our vital Interests aggressively and in order to conquer.” The two main things to remember about- the H-bomb, he said, are: 1. “With respect to that bomb, we are not going to start a war. It’s not going to be used by our initiative.” 2. “The H-bomb is a threat to us only if a potential aggressor, who also has the secret of the H-bomb, determines to use it against us. Against that, we have to make our provisions, to make certain that sensible men have done every possible thing they can to protect themselves . . ~ _ . . .i*- - • ... —
