As goes .... New Hampshire,
on March llth.
The Republican primary in that
state is the immediate focus of
attention. It offers the first test
at the polls of General Eisen
hower, Robert A. Taft and Harold
E. Stassen in the race for the
presidential nomination.
First it was -regarded as a
stronghold for the General. Sena
tor Tobey, .Governor Adams were
among hfe-j strong supporters.
Ikes popularity in the state was
pretty generally accepted. For
some time Taft was hesitant about
entering the primary in that otate.
Then John D. M. Hamilton, xorm
er chairman of the national com
mittee went to New Hampshire
to confer with friends of the Ohio
senator. On the basis of his rec-
ommendation Taft decided to file
in the-primary there, and tomor-
row he will start a three-day
campaign tour of the state, hop
ing to swing it in his favor at the
election next Tuesday or at least
to blunt the Eisenhower lead to
where it counts as a defeat.
One can anticipate the pattern
of the Taft campaign in New
Hampshire. I have no doubt it
will resemble closely the Dewey
drive in Oregon in 1948. First the
invasion by the professionals
plentifully supplied with cam
paign funds. Second the setting
up of an organization with plenty
of paid workers to canvas all seg
ments which control votes. TJrird,
generous advertising in news
papers, on billboards and radio.
Fourth, the caravan tour, with
stops in cities, towns and hamlets.
This generous use of money,
much of it from outside the state,
also was noted in the campaign i
against Wavne Morse in the I
GOP primary of 1950. Business
interests over the country con
tributed liberally to the campaign

protest against both Churchill's
$13,160,000,000 arms program and
Clement Attlee's leadership of the
Labor Party.
Coupled with the small normal
Conservative Party edge ? in the
House, the Bevan move let
Churchill and his followers beat
down decisively the Labor Party
motion of no confidence on
grounds that the government was
moving too slowly in rearmament.
Churchill conceded in the day
long debate that the arms pro
gram was running a year; behind
the time-table. He blamed fthis on
a lag in American aid, but said
he pins his hopes for peace mostly
on the United States' 'rapidly
growing stockpile" of atom
bombs.
Parliament went on record for
mally in favor of the rearmament
program itself by a 313 to $5 vote
which followed the vote pf con
fidence. The 55 votes in opposition came
from the Bevan group.
Attlee and his supporters ab
stained on this ballot but made no
effort to block the program they
originated a year ago whin they
were in power, after losing out in
protest against Churchill's: hand

Bevan, whose supporters are

Plans for a new Drive-In theatre

Albert and William Forman, op
erators of Salem's downtown the

Salem, announced the purchase of
a 6-acre tract of ground on which

The site is located on the Pacific

vations will include a snack bar in
the center of the parking area.

Estacada Fails
In Try to Annex
PGE Property
The Oregon Supreme C o u r t
Wednesday spiked the attempt of
the City of Estacada to annex
property with an assessed valua
tion nearly twice that of Estacada.
The proposed-annexation f val
uable property of the Portland
General Electric Company to the
little community in the hftls of
Clackamas County was declared
unreasonable by the court, it said
the town had no right to annex.
The court ruled unanimously
that the annexation was attempt
ed just to increase the citjfs tax
revenue. i
However the court split five dif
ferent ways over the correct legal
procedure for contesting a; city's
annexation attempt. Justice Earl
C.Latourette wrote the prevailing
opinion which upheld Circuit
Judge Ralph M. Holman of Clack
amas County.
Acheson Admits
Clearing Clubb
As Security Risk.
WASHINGTON (JP) Secretary
of State Acheson acknowledged
Wednesday that he personally
cleared O. Edmund Clubb: after
a Loyalty - Security Board found
Clubb a security risk.
Acheson's action permitted the
veteran foreign service official
who otherwise could have? been
fired to retire on a $5,00-a-year
pension. The secretary of
state said, however, that his de
cision had nothing to do with
Clubb's retirement.
Chairman McCarran (D Nev)
of the House Judiciary Committee
promptly demanded that Congress
reverse the secretary of stale "by
cutting off the pension."

Czech Reds Hint at
Scheme to Swap
Oatis for Steel Mill
WASHINGTON (JP) - Hints
have come from Communist
Czechoslovakia that American
newsman William N. Oatis might
be released from prison if the
United States would release a
17 million dollar steel mill to
the Czechs.
The State Department said in
a statement Wednesday, how
ever, that no actual offer has
been made and that "the dis
position of the steel mill is not
and will not be connected with
the Oatis case."
The steel mill in question was
purchased by the Czechs in this
country soon after World War
II. They have been prevented
from taking delivery on it sinee
the Communists came into
power.

Improvements
The State Fair Board, within
two weeks, will file application
with the State Emergency Board
for an appropriation to cover the
cost of improving the State Fair
grounds stadium to comply with
demands of the state fire marshal.
Dr. E. B. Stewart, Roseburg,
board chairman, said he had not
determined the cost of the pro
posed improvements but would
have the figures available within
a few days. The fire marshal di
rected his criticism largely on the
present location of some of the

stadium where many valuable
animals are housed during the

'Loses Hand' for
Senate Committee
Votes to Reject Tax
Bureau Changes
WASHINGTON (JP) - President
Truman's proposal to reorganize
the scandal-tarred Bureau of In
ternal Revenue was voted down
by the Senate Expenditures Com
mittee Wednesday, 7 to 5.
The resolution of disapproval
now goes to the Senate floor, with
administration forces predicting
the opposition will not be able to
muster enough votes to stop the
deorganization from going into
effect.
Truman proposed the new setup
for the tax-collecting agency in
the wake of many firings and
resignations stemming in part from
an investigation of the bureau by
a House Ways and Means Sub
committee. The principal change would be
abolishing the jobs of politically
appointed collectors of internal
revenue and replacing them ith a
smaller number of Civil Service
officials.
Truman Asks
New UMT Vote
WASHINGTON (JP) - President
Truman wants another vote on
Universal Military Training at
this session of Congress, Rep. Bry
son (D-SC) said Wednesday after
a White House conference.
"He told us this is the eighth
time he has asked Congress for
this legislation," Bryson said.
The hotly disputed bill received
a major setback Tuesday when
the House voted 236-162 to send
it back to the Armed Services
Committee for further study.
And its foes made clear they
were ready to renew their battle
if the issue is brought up again,
either in the Senate or House.
The House action generally was
taken to mean the bill is dead
for this session.

Aid for Reds
Once Sought
By Lattimore
WASHINGTON fyP)-Owen Lat
timore testified in effect Wednes
day that he tried to get President
Truman to give military aid to
the Chinese Reds in 1945.
He did not say so in so many
words, but he conceded to inves
tigating Senators that he tried to
influence the President against
limiting the aid to Chiang Kai
Shek's Chinese Nationalists alone.
In the eighth day of his mara
thon appearance before the Sen
ate's Internal Security Subcom
mittee, Lattimore referred to the
"two competing parties" in
China and said his concern was
that giving aid to the Nationalists
and none to the Communists
would give the impression that
this country was taking sides in
Chinese domestic affairs.
Furthermore, the witness said,
he favored using any forces which
would fight the Japanese and
thereby diminish American cas
ualties in the Far Eastern war.
Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich) said;
repeatedly that .what Lattimore
advocated was aid for the Chinese
Reds, who are now the enemy inj
Korea.
Lattimore insisted that what hei
wanted was a united Chinese ef
fort against the Japanese. He said
he feared that aiding one side and
not the other might lead to Rus
sian intervention on tne side of
the other.
