Interesting educational note;
Mathematics plays a much big
ger role in Portland public schools
than it does in the country as a
whole. In fact, speakers' at a
meeting of the Portland school
board last night submitted figures
showing that Portland high school
students get nearly twice as much
ninth as the national average.
Seventy-four per cent of them
get one full year of algebra and
71 per cent take two years or more
of high school mathematics.
Why is that interesting"
Well, our world is changing.

Eisenhower conceded at his
news conference that the Min
nesota returns, in which the Dem
ocratic vote, far outnumbered the
Republican count, are something
to be studied and analyzed.
But he said in his opinion farm
ers generally believe his admin
istration is seeking a program
that would give producers 100 per
cent of parity in the market place.
As for the Seriate farm bill,
plastered with amendments which
the administration does not like,
Eisenhower said it is not a good
bill. He added it is not workable
and would buy farmers under sur
pluses they couldn't stand.
The President voiced hope that
a Senate-House conference com
mittee, toward which the measure
is headed, will write a good bill
that will really help agriculture.
The House has passed its own
version of farm legislation, center
ing on price supports at 80 per cent
of parity something the adminis
tration likes as' little 'as some of
the features of the Senate 'bill.-

Kefauver Beats Out Adlai Stevenson
Upset Marks
Minnesota
Primary Vote
MINNEAPOLIS W Sen. Estes
Kefauver bagged the victory and
24 of 30 Democratic national con
vention votes in Minnesota's presi
dential primary election Tuesday.
And he was striking hard Wednes
day for four mora convention
votes.
Vanquished Adlai Stevenson
came out of the balloting with only
two convention voles cinched and
.stunning defeat.
The- Tennessee senator swept in
12 convention votes by winning
the state as a whole. The other
dozen he pocketed were two each
from six of nine congressional dis
tricts. Stevenson had two from one
congressional district in Minneap
olis. That left two districts in doubt.
Kefauver nosed ahead in one-
made up of suburban Minneapolis
and five counties to the north
with the count nearly complete.
Previously, he had trailed there.
The senator was going strong,
though still behind, in the eight
districts stretching through the
iron range and Duluth in the north
east. More than a third of the pre
cincts there were missing.
That was the picture from 3,306
of 3,868 precincts. And it showed
Kefauver at that point with a
statewide victory margin of 225,
499 votes to 173,815 for Stevenson.
For the Republican, in 3,306 pre
cincts, it was President Eisenhow
er over his "token" opponent.
Sen. William T. Knowland of Cal
ifornia, 187,722 to 3,324.
Minnesota, like all other states,
will send twice as many dele
gates to the national convention
in Chicago as it has votes, rne
Democratic National Committee
figured that one-half vote would be
allotted to each delegate. In this
state. Where delegates are pledged
to the choice in the primary a
complicated system will allow i
some of them to vote.m odd frac
tions. But that won't alter the totals
with which Kefauver and Steven
son will wind up.
Stevenson's backers attributed
his upset in large measure to Re
publicans who crossed into the
Democratic race to support
fauver.

To Be Cautious
On Race Matter
WASHINGTON I President
Eisenhower Wednesday urged the
nation not to regard the school
integration issue as one which
could separate Americana and
create a nasty mess.
Eisenhower again, at a news
conference, appealed for modera

progress can ue made.

Eisenhower said it is incumbent
upon the people of the south to
show some progress in good race
relations.
That, he added, is what the Su

in implementing its segregation
ban. called for progress with "all
deliberate speed."
Eisenhower said he should not
stagnate, and declared that again

He thereby loses his winninei of
$32,000 piled up over the weeks by
answering questions about Abra

Bennett lost out on the program
last night by not knowing how

He guessed $2,000. Ralph New
