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.

y Nixon
nc.sday night at McArthur Court
by 1 filing thf estimated audience
of 7,000 persons that Oregon sen
atorial candidate Douglas McKay
wan "one of the greatest Secre
taries of the Interior we have ev
er had.”
Nixon and his wi.'c flew on to
pojranc Thursday.
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.
Speaking of the Korean war he
said that "nobody should be so
callous" as to say administrative
