GOP 'Riding
For a Fall'
PHOENIX, Arii (UP)-Author
Clarence Budington Kelland, Re
publican national committeeman
from Arizona, Saturday said his
party is "riding to( a fail when we
should and easily could have been
galloping to sweeping victory.
Kelland made the statement in
letter printed en the editorial
page of the Arizona Republic. The
letter was addressed to an un
named man, but the Phoenix
newspaper was given Kelland's
permission to print it.
"Because of stupidity, ineptness
arrogance on the! part of a few
men , who have : been ' placed in
positions of power,"' Kelland wrote,
we are going into this campaign,
not with a compact army, but with
scattered regiments."
Kelland placed j the blame on
'the dolts who have usurped con
trol of the party and named
Sherman Adams, one of President
Eisenhower's administrative as
sistants, as one who had seized
such power. w

Funeral services, will be held

Death came to the widely
known, long-time county : engi
neer at his home, 2820 S. 12th
St, following a heart attack. 1
S wart's lean, sturdy figure was
a familiar sight on county roads,
which were his first love. He
played an important part in help
ing to establish and build many
of them during his almost 40
years in office.
He was also interested in coun
ty and Salem planning and ton
ing. He was one of an original
group named 27 years ago to ex
plore county-wide planning. Dur
ing one 25-year period he did not
miss a single meeting of the or
ganization. He1 also served continuously on
the Salem Planning Commission
since its organization 28 years
ago. He , was chairman of this
group for several years.
Recently he had been engaged
in compiling a history of Marion
County. He had filled several
notebooks with data gathered
from musty,, original county court
minutes a slow, laborious job.
Soft-spoken Swart had stored
away thousands of nuggets of
recollections concerning roads
and everyday living in the past
