Senator William F. Knowland of
California is chafing at the starl
ing post because the White House
following is seeking to prolong
Eisenhower's day of decision. Dr.
White, the heart specialist said it
would be mid-February before a
medical estimate could be made
of Eisenhower's - ability to carry
the load of office another term;
and GOP Chairman Hall moves
the deadline ahead a month. This

longer the wait the less chance he

Nixon. 11a has been studying stale

Knowland tkt dealing him out.
There is one simple solution for
the Republican Senate leader. He
can announce his candidacy any
day and arrange to get his name
in the primaries all over the land.
It's a free country and he has a
right to run for the presidency if
be feels liLe it If he wants to
qualify his announcement he could

such an announcement would be
accepted as no reflection on Eisen
hower. By doing this Knowland
would put the White House entour
age really on the spot. Nixon would
be hitched to the post until Eisen
hower announced his decision; and
so would Harold Stassen and others
who line up on the Eisenhower
team.
Knowland has little chance of

the nomination."! appeal will be
more to the conservative wing of
the party. (After all it is recalled
that he was picked for Sena'e
parly leader by Taft himself -when
the latter became ill). The sooner
he moves to line up support the
stronger his candidacy will be
come. He doesn't look like a
winner, but, without Eisenhower's

The city'i Planning Commis

Only Dissenter
Only dissenter on the plan
ning body was T. W. Lowry,
chairman of the commitee whose
adverse recommendation had
bean accepted only last week by
the full commission. Lowry said
he thought the commission
should stand by the city's off-
street parking requirement, with;
any exceptions to be made by the
elected City Council.
The YMCA in its variance re
quest had emphasized that the
building project was begun before
the off-street parking law went in
to effect.
In other business, the Planning
Commission heard arguments on
both sides of a request for per
mission to move Centra Assembly
of God Church from Cottage and
Hood Streets to Church and Nor
way la an R-l residential one,
with less than required eff-street
parking.
Written Objeeuaaa .
Written objections came frem
over 90 neighbors. The planners
deferred action until more study
of parking plans could be made.
Lowry's committee recommended
against the permit.
The commission recommended
that the council agree to a tone
chance for P. B. Beck who is ask
ing R-S instead of R-l residential
zoning for lots and acreage on the
south side of Miller Street be
tween Fairmount and Fir. Setback
variances were granted for Clif

Woolen Mill
Operator Buys
Canada Plant
Chester A. Page, veteran woolen
mill operator in the WUlamettt
Valley area with interests in the
former Brownsville mill and in the
new Jefferson mill, heads a cor
poration which recently purchased
a woolen mill at McGrath, Alberts,
Can.
Page said Tuesday he was presi
rint of ihm ffroun inronraitpvt at
Alberta Woolen Products Co. Ltntd.
and made up otherwise of Canadi- u ' mooing w interest io me
ans. The firm purchased the idle!Salfm rM nd h withdrawn
two-set: mill at McGrath located
just a few miles across the border
from Cutbank, Mont. He said they
planned to have operation on a
small basis at the mill about March
1.
Custom work in which customers
will send in wool and receive fin
ished blankets, for example, is ex
pected to make up about SO per
cent of the mill's business, accord
ing to Page, who said the purchase
price was approximately $35,000.
The mill, in the center of Can
ada' wool producing area, hasn't
been in operation for the past two
or three years and is preserilly be
ing used as storage for a cannery,
Page said.
Page said a Canadian, John
Moores would manage the mill,
and that ha expected to have little
part in the actual operation, indi
cating that his interest was pri
manly for investment purposes.
