V J Ji-(Sc n) Statesman, Salem, Ore.; Mori, Nov. 21, 55 Truman to Stump For Nomination of , : . - ' i Liberal Candidate , By JACK BELL CHICAGO Uft Former Presi dent Harry S. Truman -said Sun day he intends to work in the next few month! for the nomination by the Democrats next year of a "liberal and progressive" presi dential candidate. i Although he continued publicly to maintain neutrality in the contest "for the party's 1936 nomination, V Truman said-perhaps significantly i -that Adlai E. Stevenson "made t the best New Deal speech I ever ' heard him make" before a Demo 2 cratic rally here Saturday night Truman voiced these views in an U.S. Solons. In England to rSee Commons " LONDON Seven U. S. Con- gressmen, led by Sen. Mike Mans . field (D-Mont) flew here Sunday to watch the House of Commons . work. c "We will study legislative pro . cesses in London, and we should like to have a word with Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Secre tarv' Arold MacMillan." Mans- s field said. The Americans are guests here of the British section of the Inter .'' Parliamentary Union. Accom panyinr Mansfield were Sens. Frederick G. Payne (R-Miine), J. Allen Frear Jr. (D-Del) and . r- Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb) and Reps. Homer j Thornberry (D-Tex), Frank Ikard (D-Tex), and Pat rick J. Hillings (R-Calif). They were met at the airport by Rep. William H.

AvereH Harri man of New York told a news con ference that to him "there is no Such word as 'moderate- in the Democratic Party". : s . Are we moderateljr for the farmer"? No, we are for him all the way." , Harriuaa Agrees Harriman, who kept open the door of his own availability for the 1936 nomination, said he agrees with Truman that the Democrats can't win if they desert what both called a "liberal" viewpoint The New York governor made it clear that be intends to make his weight felt when the time for draft ing of a Democratic platform comes next summer. "We in New York are going to have something to say about the direction the party fakes and the issues it makes." he asserted. Stevenson,' thus far the only an nounced candidate for the nomina tion he held in 1932, told a nationally-televised party dinner here Saturday night that he agrees "moderation is the spirit of the times." Fields Listed But he said it must not be con fused with stagnation. He went on to list farm, school, health, social security, labor and civil rights as fields in which the government must seek progress. This evidently pleased Truman, who beamed alike on Stevenson. Harriman and Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, who may throw his hat in the ring for the nomination race next month. j Truman, who previously had said he favored Stevenson, ex plained that he was maintaining neutrality now in the intra-party contest because he regards it as his duty to do everything he can to try to unify the Democrats. He made it clear, however, that he doesn't believe in unity ob tained at the price of a comprom ise which would steer the Demo crats on a "conservative" course. He was firm in the contention they must bear a "liberal" label if they are to win the presidency in 1936. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the - Senate Democratic leader, has been telling party visi tors to his Texas ranch- he favors adoption of a "moderate" plat form next year-presumably one that would not alienate Southern conservatives and stir new civil rights controversy. During Year WASHINGTON tfl Vice Presi dent Nixon, in a statement on traf fic safety, Sunday urged all citi zens to "walk safely, and drive safely 365 days of the' year." : Nixon's statement was in con nection with the start. of a three week tally of traffic deaths through out the United States for the Sec ond annual S-D Day Safe Driv ing Day observance Dec. 1. "Thursday, Dec. 1, does not mean that we try to drive' safely that day alone," Nixon said. "It should mean to all of us that we will not only avoid accidents on that day, but that we will try to avoid them every day. ; President Eisenhower's commit tee for traffic safety, sponsoring the campaign, said the purpose of the 'three-week scorekeeping is to measure the success of S-D Day by comparing traffic fatalities for: 1. Thursday, Dec. 1, as against the ' corresponding Thursday last December, when 81 persons were fatally injured. 2. The three-week period of which S-D Day is the mid-point Nov. 21 to Dec. 11 as against the corresponding three weeks in 1954, when the' toll was 2.144. Rear Adm. H. B. Miller (U.S.N., Ret), director of the President's committee, said S-D Day has two basic purposes: "The first is 24 hours without a traffic accident. The second is sti mulation of year-around public sup port for proven, year-around. pro grams of traffic safety. He said: "A weekday Thursday was chosen for S-D Day to emphasize that lives are lost every day, and not just on weekends and holi days when the death and injury toll is heaviest. Thus, the purpose is to. emphasize to motorists and pe destrians that safety is a necessity every day, . not only during holi day periods."

Ferguson is the former tractor tycoon who pocketed 9V ' million dollars from the Ford Motor Co., in a patent infringement action. For two years now he's been putting his mind and his millions to what his aides have called "a completely new system of motor transport something that will revolutionize transportation." Until Sunday only rumors came out of Ferguson's hideout trav elers' tales of weird-looking ve hicles flashing down west country lanes at night, talk of a "people's car," to be sold for peanuts, or of a fantastic new engine that uses no gears and less fuel. New Ready Now, it seems, Ferguson is ready to put his brainchild before the world. A statement Sunday from his mansion home announced he has completed "the entire range of Ferguson inventions" and is ready to demonstrate them "in actual prototype vehicles ready for production."

The disorders Sunday followed up a demonstration by leftists over the issue Friday in which 10 per sons were injured and more than 500 were arrested. The Communist and fellow travelers called a one-day general strik for Monday and threatened to lead a march of a half million people on the State Legislature in eys NEW YORK (Jf) A prominent New York City realtor shipped j 1,081 turkeys Sunday via parcel post to friends throughout the world. They average 20 pounds each. ' J '" Charles F. Noves began the custom back in 1924 with a-dozen turkeys and has added to the list each year. "It's just a good will gesture, nothing else," he explained. Among those who will receive the free turkeys this year .are President, Eisenhower, former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, novelist Fannie Hurst President Walter 0Malley of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Gov. Av- erell Harriman of New York, statement said "will be given the first opportunity to make them." .So far Ferguson, 71, has shown off his, new baby only to a hand ful of men in high places. Among them were the Duke of Edinburgh and top industralists. i Fall Apprevaf Signs Ire that the British gov ernment is intensely interested. Sir Miles Thomas, dynamic chief of the state-owned British Overseas Airways Corp, (BOAC) has joined the Ferguson outfit as a director. A BOAC announcement said Thomas, an old hand in the motoh industry, takes on his added responsibilities with full approv al of the transport ministry, i Government interest apparently springs from two sources: 1. Britain is jealous of the suc cess of Germany s Volkswagen car in lucrative export markets. 2. NATO authorities are report ed eager to standardize their mil itary' vehicles used by European armies and Britain would like standardization on a British model. Best ef AH Thomas, on joining Ferguson, said he had seen Ferguson proto types in competition with "the best that Germany, Italy, Austra lia, America or indeed any coun try has produced." He was reported "convinced that the Ferguson car can outstrip them all. not only on roads, but in sand. mud. snow and ice." Ferguson's aides likewise are convinced they are on a winner. Said J. M. Thompson, managing director, of one of the Ferguson organizations: "It is not just a car which Mr. Ferguson and his company . has produced, but a new principle on which all road vehicles, cars and trucks, will be manufactured in the future."
