Just now the politicians are
busy toting up the number of dele
gates the various candidates for
presidential nominations have "in
the bag" or in prospect. On the
Republican side Taft stays in the
lead, and on the Democratic side
Kafauver is well in advance of his
competition. .Neither has the ne
cessary one-half plus one to in
sure his nomination.
So far i few have been looking
ahead to tote up electoral votes.
This has been touted as a "Re
publican year"; but so was 1948.
One man, Louis H. Bean, who has
had some success as a political
forecaster, including prediction of
Truman's election in 1948, has
worked over his formulas and
manipulated his slide rule. In an
article in the current Harper's
magazine he gives a tentative an
swer to his question, "Who will
win In '52?" And really it isn't
too good.
He relies to a considerable ex
tent bn vote trends, particularly
as shown in congressional elec
tions. The political tide shows two
levels: higher for the Democrats
in presidential years; lower in
mid-term. Thus Republicans made
gains in mid-term elections of
1938 and 1942 and 1950 and cap
tured control of congress in 1948.
So he writes:
"Assuming you have correctly
appraised the political tide (House
membership) to be 55 to 60 per
cent Democratic as of the first
quarter of 1952, this formula says
that a Democratic presidential
candidate would obtain 54 to 56
per cent of the two-party vote."
This, he figures out, would be
enough to secure for him a ma
jority of electoral votes.
Bean rebuts th idea often ad
vanced that Dewey was defeated
by the stay-at-home vote. He es
timates the 1948 turnout to have
been

East German
Eviction Revolt
BERLIN tP) - Five thousand
Communist police have quelled a
spreading revolt by East Germans
against their ruthless eviction from
the border security belt facing
West , Germany, Soviet Zone
sources disclosed Sunday.
Fighting between Volkspolizei
(people's police) and desperate
civilians flared in 16 border vil
lages in the past four days. Morej
than 30 casualties were unofficial- j
ly reported. Scores were arrested.
Center of the resistance to the
Red security measures was the Soviet-occupied
border state of
Thuringia.
Biggest clash broke out between
1,000 townsfolk of Kaltennordheim
and 300 police reinforcements,
called out last week to stop an at
tempt to liberate two families of
"political unreliables" from the
town jail.
Since then police detachments
rounding up so-called unreliables
for deportation from the security
belt have been ambushed or openly
attacked on repeated occasions.
Safe and Sane
4t7t Expected
In Salem Area
Salem will be a quiet place on
July 4 mostly because of the
probable absence of noisy cele
brations and noisier fireworks.
Only exploding cap pistols will
jar late sleepers-in on Independ
ence Day. Because a Salem city
ordinance, passed two years ago,
says no fireworks with the excep
tion of caps, may be exploded,
sold or displayed in Salem.
The same holds true for areas
outside of Salem with the excep
tion that in districts beyond the
reach of Salem police the state
law permits sparklers to be used
by young celebrants.
Supervised displays of fireworks
in connection with public pro
grams may be held, provided a
permit is first obtained from the
state fire marshal's office. Appli
cations mvist be made at least 15
days before the displays are
scheduled, said Fire Marshal Rob
ert B. Taylor.
Only application for a public
display: in the Salem area so far
has come from Fairview Home, a
state institution east of Salem.
There a fireworks display will be
held on July 4 in connection with
a program;
No public celebration of the
kind usually displayed in Salem
in former years on July 4 appar
ently is being planned this year.
At least no public announcement
of such a program had been made
by late last week. American Le
gion, Capital Post 9, which has
held annual Independence Day ob
servances for many years, halted
the practice last year.
Independence Day celebrations
in the Willamette Valley this year
include: Albany Timber Carnival,
July 2-i4; Hillsboro Happy Days,
2-41; McMinnville Yamhill Sher
iffs Possei Rodeo, 3-4, and St.
Paul Rodeo, 3-5.

Quinaby Man Killed
As Car Misses Curve
A 30-year-old Quinaby man was killed early Sunday morning
in an automobile accident just west of Woodburn on the St. Louis
highway in the second traffic fatality in Northern Marion County In
four days.
He was identified by Marion County Coroner Leston V. Howell
as Harold J. Fields. He died when the car in which he was riding
with three other men failed to i
negotiate a curve and crashed into
a ditch. Howell said Fields' neck
was broken. He was found lying
under the overturned automobile.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Ora Keith
of Canby was killed in an auto
train accident near Hubbard.
State police said the automobile
accident occured when the car,
going from Woodburn to Gervais,
missed a curve in the highway
one mile west of Woodburn about
3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Others in th car, none of whom
were injured, were Hubert O.
Brundidge to whom the 1949
Chevrolet was registered; Elven
L. Martin, both of Woodburn
Route 2, and Albert A. Eder of
Gervais Route 2. State police
had not determined who was
driving the car at the time of the
accident.
The body was first taken to
Ringo Mortuary in Woodburn and
later removed to the Clough-Bar-rick
Funeral Home 'ffi Salem.
Survivors are believed to in
clude a mother in Quinaby, a sis
ter in Salem and a sister-in-law
in Waconda.
Funeral arrangements were to
be made today.
Korean Ammo
Dump Explodes
PUSAN 7P)-An Army ammuni

miles north of Pusan at Heunde,
where hundreds of Americans
worked.
The port provost marshal said
there were no immediate reports
of casualties.
Guerrillas operate in the area.
An unofficial report said sabotage
was suspected.
Three major explosions rocked
the countryside in a span of 25
minutes. They jarred many build
ings in Pusan and rattled plaster
from the walls of the U. S. Em
bassy. The blasts hurled up dark smoke
clouds which could be seen in this
South Korean provisional capital
and big Allied base.

Americans Force Their Children Into

LONDON (JPy-Cyril E. M. Joad,

Taft Making Final Try
Ike Plans
Eisenhower
Defends Joint
Chiefs of Staff
By JACK BELL
DETROIT iP)-Gen. Eisenhower
vigorously defended the joint
chiefs of staff Sunday and made
it clear he would not bring Gen.
Douglas MacArthur into the gov
ernment if he becomes President.
In an unusual Sunday morning
news conference, the candidate for
the Republican presidential nom
ination also:
1. Called for the "truth and the
facts" about the choice of disputed
Republican convention delegates
in Texas.
2. Advocated lowering of the
voting age to 18 years.
3. Left to public opinion the
question of whether an ambassa
dor should be appointed to the
Vatican.
4. Said he is "very, very hope
ful" no more American troops will
have to be sent abroad.
Must Build Strength
5. Declared the United States
must continue building up its mili
tary strength until it can show
the world "We are strong enough
to be unafraid."
Eisenhover"s defense of th
chiefs of staff and his indication
that he would not call on Mac
Arthur for further government
serv ice put him at direct odds on
those points with Sen. Robert A.
Taft of Ohio, his chief rival for
the GOP nomination.
Taft has said if he were elected,
he would remov e the joint chiefs,
headed by Gen. Omar N. Bradlej-,
because he has no confidence in
their judgment. He said he would j
appoint MacArthur to an unspeci
fied government post.

with more ability and devotion to
the nation, he added:
"I just don't know what such

Yachting Party
Fatal to Seven
EAST DENNIS, Mass. (yF)-The
Coast Guard gave up hope Sun
day night for any of seven mem
bers of a gay week end yachting
party whose 18-foot hired sloop
capsized in a squall four miles off
this Cape Cod resort Saturday
night.
The bodies of four two men, a
woman and a boy were recovered
by the Coast Guard. One man and
the boy were found in the sloop
the man trapped in the rigging.
The other two bodies were float
ing nearby.
The Coast Guard said there ap
peared to be little hope of recov

during the night.
He speculated it is "this too-
early maturity ia this matter of
manners, customs, habits and dress
in Americans which makes them
reach such an early, uninterest
ing and uniform middle-age."
As a former English public
schoolboy, Joad said he "grew up
to the age of 20 without ever hav
ing had a drink or kissed a girl."
Most of his friends had the same
sheltered life, he said, adding:

clothing, makes dates with boy
friends, and in general behaves as

Sen. Taft won't try for the Re.

he said so Sunday during a
television interview.
Reminded he had tried unsuc
cessfully in 1940 and in '48 to win
the nomination, the Ohioan re
asked:
"If you strike out this time,
what will your political future
be?"
"I'm 62 years old and 111 never
run for President again," he said
in a positive fashion.
Taft didn't rule out the possJ
bility of accepting a cabinet po
sition in the next administratis,
but said he had a good Job in th
Senate for the next four years.
Like his main opponent. Gen.
Eisenhower, Taft said he "bu
made no deals" and doesn't know
of any political debts he owes.
He hasn't promised a cabinet or
ambassadorial post to anybody it
he becomes President, he added.
Opposes Budget Stand
Another dissenting voice was
raised, meanwhile, against Ek
hower's contention that it will be
possible to reduce the federal '""
budget by as much as 40 billion
dollars within the next few years.
"He must have been thinking
about something else," said Sen.
