Referring to whether he will seek the Democratic nomina tion next year, he said: "I'll do what is best for my party and not what I think is necessarily best for myself." Thai's HIS side of it to which he is fully entitled. Let's now get OUR side of it straight. In order to do that, we must regard Mr. Stevenson as a pros pective employee who wants job. We the citizens and the voters are PROSPECTIVE EMPOYERS. As employers, we want the best possible man for the job. That's our side of it. There are two theories of pol itics: 1. To the victors belong the spoils. 2. The people are entitled to the BEST POSSIBLE government. - 1 prefer Theory No. 2. Wild Woman Connie has a youneer sister. Her name is Di ane.

McKay Cites Limitation Of Federal Participation In Restoring Historic Sites CHAMPOEG, Ore. tm Secre- ..(- nt lnlari,, M f k' 3 W HfwtifatAft I another historical site Saturday, but warned "there is a limit to what the federal government can and should do in the field of pre serving historic sites." McKay said the Department of Interior "finds that its limited ap propriations are scarcely adequate for the proper care and develop ment" of the 123 historical prop erties now administered by the de partment. "Far from seeking new acquMl tions, the Department of the Inter- ior is conducting a reappraisal of some of these areas to see if they might not be more properly ad I ministered by state or local gov ernment." McKay said in a i speech r.repared for delivery at the i dedication of the pioneer Robert I Newell house at Champoeg, where President Signs Minimum Pay, Polio Measures WASHINGTON HI President Eisenhower has signed laws pro viding a new SI an hour minimum wage and free polio vaccine, and neared the end of the hundreds of bills Congress sent to him Only three bills were left today on which action was pending. These concerned the Washington transit strike, land for a Colorado River project and continued stock-piling of some domestic min erals. Aides said the President wanted more information on them. No exact count of bills signed or vetoed has been made yet. The President has been working on hundreds at his White House of fice and Gettysburg, Pa., farm home since Congress adjourned Aug. 3. The new minimum wage, effec tive next March 1, applies to 24- miliion workers covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. It is expected to mean wagp increases for about 2,100,000 em ployes, mostly in the South. The old minimum was 75 cents an hour. Eisenhower had recommend ed a 90-cent minimum. Union la bor leaders wanted $1.25. The polio bill provides 30 million dollars to be allocated to the states to provide free polio vaccina unaor state programs. Allocations will be made on the basis of the state's population under 20 years of age and per capita income. The money will be available until next February. This gives Congress, convening next January, a chanca to see if anything further should be done. Schmidt And Wife Hold Conference, Make No Decision NEVADA CITY. Calif. W Air man Daniel C.

Spreading over an ever-widening area with weakening winds, the dying hurricane was following ma jor damage, rather than bringing it. For hundreds of miles to the north and northeast in front of the storm monsoon-type rains poured down on cities and countryside. New York wallowed in a record breaking deluge of almost a foot of rain. Rivers ran bankfull and creeks overflowed in a half dozen states under the influence of the storm.
