Observer, La Grande, Or., Sat., Nov.-21, 1959 pig 5 Some Republicans Doubt Nixon Has What It Takes For Victory By WILLIAM THEIS has grown in stature: wr.u stands United Prc$ International four square for prouiessiie jt WASHINGTON L'PI puhlieamsm: who has ben mis- Vice President Kichard M. Nixon represented ut time and who nave wnai 11 takes to in nuu , to fill 1 Me- presidency of the Unit ed States in 13C0? There are some tteoublicais who question whether he could win if ruminated. 1 his is what nuikcs Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel ler of New York ie- law as a tempting prospect for himself. There are lew professionals in either party, however, who would challenge Nixon's training for the office or his capacity to ad minister it. It is generally ac'ovledged that no vice president ha-; been better trained for promotion. And Nixon's ability is highly respect ed, even fcy Democratic critics. Most think he would be a strong" preside.it if elected. President Eisenhower, himself, made much of this training pos sible hy directing Nixon to be a "working" partner from the day he took olfice in 1953. Hold! No Grudtet Those who most bitterly oppose Nixon charge that he lacks prin ciple, that some of his past ac tions show a willingness to em ploy half-truth if it served his purpose. A term used by his po litical enemies "Tricky Dick" still plagues Nixon on occasion. Nixon advocates answer such charges this way: "Here is a whole man, not perfect, more complex than most, who does not fear controversy but holds no grudges; who hes prolitcd by some mistakes and Among Valley Farmers By County Agents Ted Sidor and Charles Gavin A number of our farmers are planting grass and legumes during t the fall season. We have had good luck, in most cases, with these fall seedins if they are not seeded too early. If they are seeded while the soil is warm, usually the seed w ill germ inate and winter kill. Seed seeded now or later will usually lay in the soli until snring when the soil wrrnis. germinate and pro duce a good crop. Now is the time to p.une your trees. This work can be done any time now as full conies with its cool weather. Main reason for waiting until later is to allow the leaves to fall to avoid the weight or hulk of handling and to better see what may need to be removed. Remember, the more you prune the more the tree will grow. Brok en, dead and interfering limbs make up the main pruning needed Two kinds of corm rot, common on gladioli, can be largely e'imin ated by drying and curing the conns as quickly as possible after digging. This prevents develop ment of the root and corm rotting fungi called Fusarium and Botrytis. Hold corms for three weeks at room temperature 70 F.l for ade quate drying. If special drying - equipment is available, the drying period can be reduced to two days at a temperature of 95 F. and 80 per cent relative humidity. Adequate air circulation is re quired during the drying pericd Where the drying temperature is below 95 F., more time is needed for proper curing. V Store bulbs through the winter in a cool, well ventilated place. Many home orchard and garden diseases in shrubs, ornamentals and annuals are carried over from year to year on dead leaves. Rake up the leaves and dispose of them this full instead of waiting until spring. Rose diseases such as rust and leaf siot overwinter on old leaves either on plants or on the ground Apple and pear scab, camellia blight, and several other diseases are reproduced from year to year on leaves or old flower petals. By raking and cleaning up this fall, a good start can be nude on disease control for next year. Leaves may be burned or buried Block Soviet Try To Buy U.S. Steel WASHINGTON (L'PI) The Commerce Department har, blocked an effort by the Soviet I'nion to buy $15,556,207 worth of American stainless steel. The department said Wednesday night the applications were disap proved under regulations prohib iting shipment to Communist countries of materials having strategic vaiue in wartime. In addition to the stainless steel sheet, plate . and tubing, the de partment turned down requests to ship Russia $176,455 worth of chemicals, plastics and synthetic rubber. The department would not iden tify the U. S. firms involved. Officials said they felt the ex port license requests indicated the Smiets were serious about doing business, with the L S. firms and v.ere not merely putting out feel ers lo test iNissilile cli.iii':i -s in L S. eipuii couliul. nas. suueretf nis. o a share pohtical abuse without flim-hiiiR.

Like Rockefeller, ho has shown he doesn't mind taking an unpop ular stand if h? thinks it is right. Nixon believes a political leader must lead not follow. Risked Personal Violence Friends point out that he made his comeback fight against the ISM m:u campaign "expense fund charges almost alone. His televised explanation helped turn what looked like possible disast er into a landslide victory. Nixon's naval service in the Pacific during World War II was routine. But he risked personal violence as vice president a num ber of times in his overseas trav els.. . The' risk became most real when he was stoned and spat upon by mobs during his 1936 South American trip. Earlier, he had brushes with danger in Bur ma, North Vietnam, Iran, Mala ya and Korea all areas he vis ited during periods of war or un- on the bottom of a compost pile. The raking and general cleanup operation can be repeated again in midwinter or early spring when dormant spray applications are usually made on roses, peaches, apples and pears. With the advent of winter com ing on, now is a good time to catch up on some of the things you have been planning to do such as build a loading chute or corrals or machinery or leafing sheds. We have here in the oflicc, plans for about any type of con struction that you might want to do md if we don't have the specific one you want we will get it for you. Producers planning to consign their catt'e to the special sale would do well to have their cattle sorted at home and bring them in that way as they will be able to take more time and do a better job. The sale committee will have another chute to use that day to unload and lead so that should speed up operations a great deal. Four H and FFA members should be getting calves on feed if they intend showing next spring and fall, also there is still a good selection in the county for calves. 20 Service Directory 20 When You Need A BUSINESS SERVICE Use The Handy Service Directory Here , Are Some of the Services Offered: Pumps Serv.

Each time, h? kept his head. His most severe tests came with President Eisenhower's three ma jor illnesses. The President's Sep tember. 1U55. heart attack stun ned asnuigtoi and Nixoa was no exception. But. within hours, the vice president had joined in establish- inc a business - as usual atmo sphere in the administration. He was painstaking in avoiding ac tion which might indicate he was too eager to "move in." Achieve! A Balance Iess than a year later, in June, 195ti, the man who is just a heartbeat away from the presi dency went through the same or deal when Eisenhower was oper ated upon. Ris third test cam? in 1957 when the Chief Executive suffered a mild stroke. Politically. Nixon has been able to balance his GOP popularity between the right wing Republi cans, who first spotted him in the Alger Hiss investigation when he was a "House member, and the more liberal Republicans whose causes he has championed With all of this, Nixon doesn't brood over critics. He often tells audiences he shares Truman's belief that "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. The vice president has been pretty much his own press rela tions man until the past year. but doesn't worry about news no tices, good or D.d. I'nlike such colleagues as Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, who is sensitive about his press rela tions, Nixon lets even unfair criti cism go unchallenged. Nixon, in cidentally, has considerable ad miration for Johnson. .The Texan reciprocates that feeling. A Tireless Traveler Political observers believe that many Democrats and some Re publicans have underestimated Nixon's political aopeul. Nixon was credited in 1956. for exam ple, with making telling inroads for the GOP in the ranks of col lege, independent and Negro vot ers. He concentrated campaign ing with many such groups. He is at his best in face-to-face, informal contacts. And he is tireless, as this reporter has found in covering him in travels to more than 30 countries and most of the 50 states.. Immediately ahead for Nixon is the problem of holding Califor nia intact if there is any serious Rockefeller challenge there. Nix on is confident he can do so. If the Rockefeller forces make their move in Nixon's territory, the vice president's associates say, "we might not be able to ho'd back our own people in New York." One of these New Yorkers is former GOP National Chairman Leonard Hall, who wanted the governorship nomination when it weut to Rockefeller. Hall is ex pected to be Nixon's campaign chief when the Nixon drive gets rolling. What will Nixon do if he loses in I960? The answer,. at the vice-presidential office is that he has given no thought to that and does rot intend to. 20 Service Directory 20 Rug Cleaning Electric Motor Services Washing Machines Household Appliances Keys Fuel Oil Land Leveling Insurance Coal Dealers Wheel Alignment Upholstery Tree Surgery Furnace Dealers Sheet Metal Work Strange As VH'W USED TJDiy. fi 7-ify r'"-' "-'ACi.P tV T 1 fii IN 1839. 8jT , vib L lf ROYAL JELLY, kjod r2jrucr of M0NEVPEE5, CCKiTMNS AM AMTIB.O'C CAPA31E OF CSIAW.KG Tr-t C-R3A7il OF lU LABORATORY TEST5 Wife Claims She Not Aware Tot On The Way PITTSBURGH 'ITU Michael J. Kotun Jr., 3i, was positive to day that his wife really was preg nant the past several months. He had a 7 pound, 6'i-ounce son to prove it. His wife Audrey. 33. fondling the child at St. Joseph's Hospital where both mother and baby were taken after the impromptu deliv ery, was quite sure herself. But up until Thursday when the baby was born Mrs. Kotun would have denied a pregnancy emphatically. And deny it she did when her husband asked her a few times. "She was getting heavy and 1 kidded her about it." said Kotun. a television cameraman at KDriA IV. "I a.sked her a couple of times if she was pregnant. She told me. 'If I am. I don't know anything aliout it'." She found out Thursday. She awakened feeling il! and went to the ba'.hicom where she delivered the child. A Pittsburgh obstetrician, a bit skeptical of Mrs. Kotun s story, said that the possibilities of a woman going through pregnancy without recognizing any symptoms was "very rare.'1 The ' Koluns have o-.e other child, Hichard. 6.
