Convicts Get Surprise Show By Amateurs Oregon State Penitentiary in mates got a surprise holiday show Saturday night when more than a dozen members of the Johnny Johnson Amateurs, Portland vau deville troupe appeared in a two hour performance. The inmates presented one mem ber of troupe, M err it Randel, a guitar-playing singer of Western songs, with a check to finance an operation. Nearly all the performers have appeared at the prison in previous shows. Opening and closing the show was little Edwina Holt, a polio victim who reigned as queen of the inmate show, "Con-Glom-orations of 1952" several months o and who has sung for the in states several times previously. The Johnny Johnson show, like others which have appeared at the prison in . the last year, performs without pay. Model Factory Deteriorates HONG KONG (JF)-A gunnysack factory in Mukden, Manchuria singled out by the Reds last year as a model plant seems to have gone to pot. Peiping's official Kung Jen Jih Pao reported that its correspond ent found "appalling" conditions in the factory and in the work ers dormitories. The newspaper complained that during the first two months of this year 60 per cent of the work ers were ill with bronchitis or tu berculosis; that the plant's pane less windows were boarded over: the dormitories "crowded, bad and dirty"; and the workers getting only every other Sunday off. The newspaper commented blandly: "It is just because of the liber ation of our workers that it has been made possible for us to open- criticize and to ask the quar ters concerned for a quick solution." 1NGRID. TWINS HOME ROME (iiP)-Actress Ingrid Berg man took her 17-day-old twins home from the hospital Saturday. ... , im, a tANT AVINUI AT SUSH SAN FRANCISCO questions about the plank. As written, it had raised the threat of a break in the hereto fore harmonious effort of the re solutions committee to come up with a statement of principles ac ceptable to the major candidates for the presidential nomination. Meanwhile, Gen. Eise nh o w e r himself, at a news conference, con firmed reports of others that the platform on foreign policy appear ed to be shaping up fairly well to his satisfaction. He said he under stood it embraced the general's views. The general conferred lata in the day with the chief draftsman of this plank, John Foster Dulles. Eisenhower has opposed placing "too much" reliance on air power to thwart expansion of commun ism. Sen. Taft of Ohio, chief rival of Eisenhower for the nomination, has advocated a greatly expanded Air Force and less reliance on land armies. Eisenhower has said that if the U.S. fell back on air power, such action might dishearten other free dom - loving countries in Europe who are depending on U. S. aid to help build an International force against aggression. The defense plank made no rec ommendations on universal mili tary training a measure favored strongly by Eisenhower in the past. Meanwhile, platform drafters, in a declared move to take farm problems out of politics, propose to strip the politically-appointed secretary of agriculture of powers to fix farm prices and other poli cies. Instead, such policies would be determined by a non - partisan board, operating in the farm field much in the manner that the pres ent Federal Reserve Board sets banking and other monetary policies. Many Fights Could Upset GOP Schedule CHICAGO (JP) - Whether the opening here Monday runs ac cording to a tentative schedule which calls for a Thursday wind' up hinges largely upon how quick' ly floor fights over contested dele gates are decided. Those fights are due Monday and Tuesday. The first big test will come on a move by Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower's lorces to bar any delegate whose seating is in dispute from voting on any contest over a convention seat. Eisenhower forces also plan to appeal to the credentials commit tee. to be named formally on Monday, their appeals from decl sions of the national committee which temporarily seated contest' ed delegates predominantly favor' able to Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. The credentials committee is due to report Tuesday afternoon. That will undoubtedly touch off another floor battle. All this could throw a hitch Into plans to name the p ssidential nominee Wednesday night. This tentative program also calls for vice presidential balloting on Thursday afternoon. There are so manv imponderables that this timetable could easily be upset. What is certain is that the con vention will open around 11:30 ajii. (EST) Monday, and that Gen. Douglas MacArthur will de liver the keynote speech at the session which is scheduled to start at 8:30 pjn. (EST) that night. Oil Wells Crowd Family Off Hill LONG BEACH, Calif. JP)-When Andrew Pala stood on Signal Hill in 1919 and enjoyed the view of the Pacific Ocean, he decided the hill was a good place to build his mansion. Two years later, after his $30, 000 home was completed, oil was discovered nearby. Signal Hill soon bristled with wells making it an uncomfortable place to live. But the Pa las were reluctant to leave. However, when a well caught fire behind their home and burned for three days, Mrs. Pala decided it was time to move out.

London Bids Farewell to Faithful Trams LONDON (JPl Londoners bade farewell Sunday to their faithful old tramcars (street cars). At the controls of the very last tram No. 1951 was the deputy chairman of the London Trans port Company, John Cliffy who started as a tramcar conductor 52 years ago. The old tram, a familiar red double-decker, was packed with Londoners, many wearing costume of the 1890s. For 91 years the trams swayed and rocked their way through the world's biggest city. But London's traffic got heavier and heavier and the old trams simply couldn't weave In and out Ilk buses. So the transport company de cided they had to go. Ike to Ignore Churchill's Speech Advice CHICAGO (JPhGen. Dwight D. Eisenhower disclosed Saturday he's going to ignore some pointers on public speaking by that old master, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Even so, Eisenhower says he has learned in his brief campaign that he does better without a text. "I'm through with prepared speeches except in those cases where I have to have precise tim ing such as radio and television." He said he'd things in his own way and just have notes as re minders of the points he intended to drive home. It was during solemn cere mony in London, Eisenhower told an informal news conference, that he startled Churchill by repeating a set talk from memory rather than reading it word for word. It was one of those ceremonies solemn as only the British cere monies can be. They gave me 125 words to say and I memorized them." At another time, Eisenhower said Churchill told him to wear spectacles "big round spectacles which you can take off and shake In their face. And if you have notes don't try to hide 'them. Shake them in their face, too." But the General said he really doesn't like to be"a shouter at crowds." He said he enjoyed a crowd in which there was the give and take of questions and answers, but that he just couldn't bring himself to lecture people and tell them what to think.
