Stevenson Wooing
Farmer's Votes
By JOHN CHADWICK
KintlX CITY. Iowa 11 Adlai
E. Stevenson said Wednesday aft
er his arrival here for a confer
ence with Democratic leaders
from seven Midwestern states that
only the Democratic Party is con
cerned with how the farmer is
getting along.
The Democratic presidential
candidate and Sen. Estes Kefau
ver, his vice presidential running
mate, reached here in the early
morning after a 2,700 mile flight
that started at Santa Fe, N. M.,
and included a political foray into
the Pacific Northwest.
Clayton Fritchcy, Stevenson s
press secretary, said it was be
lieved to be a new record for a
single day's campaigning. The
Dprnnpratip standard bearer put
in between 21 and 22 hours of
traveling, handshaking and spcaK
ing. Called into closed conference
here were party leaders from
North and South Dakota,
Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
It marked the third strategy
huddle held by Stevenson and Ke
fauver in as many days.
Stevenson, in a statement is
sued after his arrival, started
right in to woo farm votes.
Service Station
Man Threatened
By 3 Young Men
A Winston service station oper
ator was threatened with a knife
Tuesday night, but his assailants
drove off without harming him.
According to Winston Police
Chief Ben Schccle, three young
men drove in to John Williams'
Chevron station about 3:45 a.m.
for 50 cents worth of gas. At first
they refused to pay for the fuel,
but finally paid 40 cents and drove
away.
A short time Iaer the trio came
back and told Williams that they
would pay the dime if he would
hand over the slip of paper on
which he had written their license
number, Scheele reported.
When Williams refused, one of
the men called to a compan
ion who had remained in the car
to come into the station. He came
in and threatened Williams with a
knife, Shccle stated.
About that time, a truck pulled
into the station for gas and the
trio left, headed south. However,
they must have scared the truck
driver too, as he left without taking
any fuel, Schccle added.
0 & G Counties To Tako
Offensive On Formula
(Continued From Page One)
pany was to sell the lands to set-
licrs. wncn we company i&m-u
to meet the terms of the grant, the
government took back the title to
the lands and attempted to dispose
of the lands, this was unsuccess
ful. In 1937, an act sponsored by
Cordon put the lands under the
OJtC administration (later absorb
ed by the Bureau of Land Manage
ment) and provided for a sustain
ed - yield management program.
The counties were to be the ma
jor beneficiaries of this program.
Under it the counties receive 75
per cent of timber sale receipts and
the government retains 25 per cent
which is supposed to be used for
management.
(Actually the most ever appro
Driatcd bv Congress for manage-
mcnt of the lands has been about
12 per cent of the total. In recent
years after a multi-million dollar
debt was paid off the counties
have been reinvesting one-third of
their receipts in access road do
velonment.)
Cordon recommended that the
counties seek authority to contract
with the government for the use
of this money.
'Every year we have to go. hat
in hand, to Congress and ask it to
appropriate to a federal agency
money which belongs to us. And
every year we open the door to an
amendment to tho basic O&C act
which could upset the whole re
ceipts formula as well as the the
ory that these lands arc a trust.
"This is a dangerous practice.
The best solution Frank Sever (as
sociation legal counsel) and 1 have
been able to find is through a con
tract which would allow the coun
ties to budget the money and turn
it over directly to the administrat
ing agency."
Proposed legislation which would
be presented in January at Snlem
is to be drafted by the associa
tion's executive committee and
studied at the annual meeting in
November.
Representatives of five counties
were named to the committee to
gather information on the effect of
OJiC lands on local economies
They were: Ralph Petersen, chair

Racketeer Johnny Dio
Held For Riesel Blinding
(Continued From Page One
ant ssno but Johnnv Dio sent him
S1.500 in all, but some, of it stuck
in the hands of some of the co
conspirators who were to deliver
the money.
Kiesel was blinded April 5 when
acid was tossed in his face out
side a Broadway restaurant. Tel-
vi was found shpl to death July in
in an East Side Street.
After the arrests Tuesday, Wil
liams said:
Johnny Dio, among others,
was the man who directed, insti
gated and arranged the payoff to
Telvi in the acid attack on Victor
Kiesel. This is in direct relation
to Kiesel's planned testimony
about labor racketeering before
the fedreral grand jury."
Kiesel, 41, long a syndicated
newspaper crusader against crim
inal elements in labor unions, has
also said the acid attack was plan
ned to scare him out of testifying.
The dapper, . 42-year-old Dio
whose actual name is jonn uio
guardi was nabbed at his home
on point lookout, Long Island, N.Y.
Picked up elsewhere were Thom
as Dioguardi, 40, his brother and
and executive in a cotton goods
firm; Domcnico Bando, 47, a
Brooklyn baker; and Charles Tuso
44, a garment worker. All have
long criminal records.
A fifth man, Charles Car lino, 43
also was charged yesterday with
conspiracy. He was arrested Aug.
He was'-arrested Aug. 18 and held
18 and held in $100,000 bond as a
material witness.
Two other alleged conspirators
in the attack were arrested Aug.
17. They are Joseph P. Carlino,
43, who is not related to Charles,
and Gondolfo Miranti. 37.
AFL-CIO leaders, gathered for
an Executive Council meeting at
a Forest Park, Pa., mountain
camp, said that if Dio is guilty of
complicity in the Riesel case he
should get "what is coming to
him."
Dave Beck, president of the
Teamsters Union with which Dio
has had connections, said "he's
no labor leader to the best of my
knowledge. He doesn't belong to
our organization."
Dio obtained Teamsters Union
charters for a number of nonex
istent locals earlier this year to
help try to seize control of the
New York area Teamsters' or
ganization. Jacob S. Polofsky, president of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers and a member of the AFL-
CIO Ethical Practices Commit
tee, said Dio "got what he de
served." We in the labor movement will
continue to fight to eliminate the
few racketeers in labor," Potof-
sky said.
Second Crewman's
Body Recovered
i WASHINGTON Ufi The Navy
Wednesday announced recovery of
tho second body of a crewman of
the patrol plane which was shot
down off the China Coast last

Eisenhower Asks
Western Support
Of Suez Proposal
WASHINGTON Wl President
Eisenhower Wednesday declared
firm U.S. support of the Western
plan for settlement of the Suez
uanai crisis anu imku "a uinui&
by every country which believes in
."international justice and concilia
tion." The President expressed pleas
ure at Egyptian President Nas
ser's decision to meet with i five
nation committee and to hear the
proposal for international control
of the Suez waterway.
Eisenhower's statement, issued
after a long conference between
the President and Secretary of
State Dulles, was read to news
men by Dulles.
Before he began reading, White
House press secretary James C.
Hagcrty said the President had
asked him to express publicly his
aDnrcciation to Dulles for "the
fine and wonderful job" Dulles
did at the 22-nation London con
ference. State Department officials be
lieve Russia is playing a tricky
and dangerous game of Middle
Eastern politics by campaigning
against international operation of
the canal.
The danger lies in the increased
risk of military conflict if the So
viets should prod Ebyptian Presi
dent Nasser into rejecting any sat
isfactory settlement with the West
ern' Powers.
Secretary of State Dulles told a
news conference yesterday that
Soviet propaganda to Egypt was
denouncing the international oper
ation proposal as "imperialism"
and "colonialism."
State To Bring
Action Against
Stumbo Family
SALEM Ufl The State Highway
Commission expects to have to
bring condemnation action in court
to net title to a road crossing the
Pacific Highway near Glendale in
Douglas County, State Highway
Engineer W. C. Williams said Wed
nesday. The crossing, owned by the Stum
bo family, lias been used by the
state since the highway, was built
nine years ago. The state failed to
get title to it, and the Stumbos
have filed application to charge
tolls.
Williams said the commission
has offered the Stumbos $100 plus
six per cent interest since 1946,
but the Stumbos haven't accepted
the offer.
Instead, the Stumbos have count
ered with a proposal that the state
pay them tolls on every vehicle
that corssed their property since
1946. The toll for cars would be
one-tenth of a mill.

Prospects At Meet
Held In Vancouver
VANCOUVER, Wash. W-Dem-ocrats
expressed optimism Tues
day over their prospects for vic
tory in the Pacific Northwest next
November.

were told in a closed meeting by

ences they are conducting over

the Republicans have lost more
federal, state and municipal elec
tions than during the presidency
of any man since Herbert Hoo
ver." George Smathers (D-Fla),
chairman of the Senate Demo
called for reelection of Demo
cratic Sens. Morse of Oregon and
Magnuson of Washington. H e
warned that their defeat by Doug
las McKay and Arthur Langlie
might give Republicans control of
Congress.
Morse' was applauded warmly
when he said the Democrats can't
handle Eisenhower "with k t d
gloves."
"The Democrats undoubtedly
have to carry the fight on Eisen
hower's record directly to the
people," he said.
Magnuson urged that the party
redouble its efforts with young
people.
"Now that they have had almost
four years of Republican admin
istration," he said. 'they. will un
derstand a Republican adminis
tration," he said, "they will un
derstand a Republican adminis
tration seriously jeopardizes their
chances of equal opportunity."
Magnuson said "smal business
is a big Issue, especially in me

Seaton Speaks To Oregon
Croups, To Visit Here
(Continued from Page One)
Landon here lit 1936, Harold Stas
sen in 1948 and Dwight Eisen
hower in 1952.
In a television speech Tuesday
night McKay said Morse "cannot
and will not escape the moral re
sponsibility for i the empty and
false charges" the senator has
made about the President and the
41 Sarena mines case.
McKay said that by charging
Eisenhower with being lacking in
political morality," "Morse has
himself made political morality
the No. 1 issue of this campaign."
"Morse," he continued,, "should
either prove this charge against
the President and do it now or
the people of Oregon should re
tire him from public life forever
and clear their record before the
American people."
The Al Sarena charges have
'boomeranged," McKay said,
because of "the interest of Ore
gon newspapers in the integrity
of government and the honesty
of what a United States senator
tells the people of Oregon.
"The famed Al Sarena case Is
being truthfully labeled by re
snnnsible and trusted Oregon
newspapers for what it is a
vicious unscrupulous political
revenge.
Morse spent most of the day
with the Adlai Stevenson-Estes
Kefauver party.
