Road Group Urges 13th Ave. Closure The closure of 13th Ave. through the campus from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. every weekday has been recommended by the Oregon State Highway Department. Automatic gates on the corners of 13th Ave. and Kincaid and University Streets would prevent traffic from entering the campus if the proposal is adopted. The recommendation came as a result of a survey conducted spring term by the state agency. It was jointly financed by the University, city and state. Last fall the Eugene City Council’s public service commit tee suggested that the city cease stopping traffic on 13th Ave. 10 minutes every hour. This had been done while classes changed as a safety measure. University President O. Mere dith Wilson then asked that the street be closed permanently, be cause he said the University needs the area for future expan sion.

McKay Credited Nixon credited McKay as the man with Eisenhower who de eloped the triple-barrelled Ei enhowor partnership program” or natural resource develop ment. “The Morse - McKay contest dearly and dramatically points ip the basic difference between .he Eisenhower philosophy of government and that of the well ntentioned but mistaken men who would nationalize and feder llize basic American institu tions.” Praises Ikr Praising the Eisenhower ad ministration, Nixon told the au dience that before voting they should consider, "Is Eisenhower’s leadership the best this country ran produce?” He said *that Eisenhower got us out of war and gives us the best chance to keep peace in the years ahead. He denied the Dem ocratic charge that American prestige is at an all-time low, and said “No man is more revered and respected by the people of the world than the President of the United States.” Nixon also refuted the Demo cratic charge that the Republican party offers working people "prosperity for a few but not prosperity for you.” He said this has been the 'best year economically in the history of the country,” and that wage earners wanting good jobs with high wages, take-home pay and security for the future “are do ing better today under Eisen hower . . . than they have ever done before.” The purchasing power of the wage-earner's paycheck declined S2 during the seven year period of the Truman Fair Deal, he con tinued. Claims Sound Dollar “During the four years of the Eisenhower administration the wage-earner received an increase of $& a week in real buying pow er because this administration has again given the American people a sound dollar that will buy a dollar's worth of goods next year as well as today.” Nixon said that the “test of an administration is whether you clean up or cover up” the dis honest elements of the admini stration. “This administration cleans up,” he declared. The Democrats are offering a "dressed-up version of what they offered in 1952,'* Nixon said. He told the audience to consider "have this administration's poli cies been good for you? We of fer friendship . . . courage . . . and victory.” Appearing on the platform Wednesday night with Nixon were McKay,- Gov. Elmo Smith, President O. Meredith Wilson of the University, and Representa tive Harris Ellsworth of the Fourth Congressional district. Conference Held In a short- press conference held at the Eugene airport Wed nesday Vice-President Richard Nixon told reporters that he had never at anytime questioned Democratic loyalty, but he had questioned their judgement.
