reactivated early thla fall.
When the 101st assembles at

The Democratic primary in
Minnesota did more than box the
compass on presidential candi
dates, moving Sen. Kefauver up to
"front runner." It added to the
problem of the party organization.
Stevenson had been favored as one
man who could unite the party af
ter the breakaway of 1952. He
worked to cultivate the South with
out the sacrifice of his political
principles, and had made head
way. Only Governor Shivers of
Texas was an announced holdout,
and his power has been trimmed
Stevenson retained the favor of
what are left of tha party bosses.

Lawrence of Pittsburgh with
only a rejuvenated Tammany hall
lulkinf in the shadows.
The swing to Kefauver displeases
most of the Southern Democratic
atatesman without gaining for him
- the favor of the northern, political
factotums. Gov. Harriman of New
York is anathema to the South, a
New Deal Democrat who was a
Srotege of FDR and a follower of
larry Truman. The party heads
are therefore distraught as they
look around for someone who can
weld the party fragments together
and still collect a popular follow
ing against Eisenhower. Reaching
down in the bag they come up
with such names .as Sen. Lyndon
Johnson, Senate majority leader,

many Roman Catholics witnessed
an annual student parade Friday,

He called the parade "sacrile

The parade satirized the gov

While it was under way, two

injuring 30 persons. Police are in

However, Holy Week services

Bandit Takes
$85;000 From
Tampa Bank
TAMPA, Fla. ufl A lone bandit
robbed the International Bank of
Tampa of an estimated 185,000
Saturday and abducted t book
keeper.
Frank Massari, vice president
of the bank, made the loss esti
mate. Massari said the gunman
let about $30,000 behind in a rear
vault.
Joseph Patrinostro, 24, was re
leased unharmed after using his
personal car to drive the un
masked robber to another car
awaiting him about 10 miles
northwest of Tampa.
Apparently the man hid In the
bank and came out after it closed.
Patrinostro said he was eating
lunch in an anteroom when a 6
foot, 200 pounder pulled a gun on
him and demanded money.
All the cash left in the teller's
drawers was taken and then the
bandit ordered Patrinostro to get
what was available in the vault.
Patrinostro did so.

were purchased by a governmental
agency and never used.
Despite their "age", three of the
machines have never been un
crated. Polk County bought the four
gadgets two years ago and planned
to use. them in 4h 1954 primary
elections. They were earmarked
for two big West Salem precincts
and two in Dallas.
Each machine cost $1,500. And
that's where the trouble started.
Some of the rural organizations
around the county raised the cry
that the $6,000 could have been
put to better use improving Polk
County roads.
The machines even became a po
litical issue. County Judge Cal
Barnhart, who was campaigning
for the Republican nomination two
years ago, stumped against the
voting machines.
After the controversy arose, in
cumbent officials decided not to
use the voting machines.
Voting Complicated
Barnhart says he argued that the
people should have been given op
portunity to decide whether they
wanted to use voting machines. He
said he met people who told him
voting was "complicated enough
these days without adding voting
machines."
Actually, the machines don't ap
pear very complicated, although
there is nobody in the Polk Court
house at resent that knows how
to run them.
Ed Hamilton, recently retired,
was Polk County clerk when the
machines were acquired. And
County Commissioners Gay Rem
pel and C. L. Burbank' say. the
county court bought the controver
sial machines at Hamilton's re
quest. Hamilton, who was named Ore
gon's "Taxpayer's Man of the
Year" about that time for his econ
omies in office, saw the voting ma
chines as both a time and money
saver.
48 Hours Late
Four years ago, one of West Sa
lem's precincts didn't finish count
ing votes until 48 hours after the
polls closed.
With voting machines, totals
would have been available imme
diately. The machines keep a run
ning total on each candidate and
ballot measure.
The voting machines would have
partly replaced 10-man election
boards in -larger Polk County pre
cincts. A 10-man election board
costs Polk County $90 a day.
Pay fer Themselves
Hamilton and the county court
estimated the machines would pay
for themselves within 10 years.
But perhaps they recokned with
out the human element.
"Old folks don't hanker to these
voting machines," said County
Sheriff Tony Neufeldt, who knows
Polk County like the back of his
hand.
"The oldtimers want a ballot
they Can put their X on. They
don't seem to have much faith jn
voting machines."
If Polk County had Used the vot
ing machines, it would have been
a front runner in Oregon circles.
Currently the machines are almost
unknown in the state, although
Lane County reportedly has rented
aome for a trial spin this spring.
At least, that gives Polk County
a lot of potential customers-J
Sherburne said that if the Army
had had two or three such divi
sions In 19'jO "we could haw bro
ken up the Korean War before it
got well started."

Symington
Gains as Demo
Dark Horse
CHICAGO tfl Sen. Symington
(D-Mo) appeared Saturday to be
gathering strength as a dark horse
contender for the Democratic presi
dential nomination after Adlal E.
Stevenson's upset defeat in Tues
day's Minnesota primary.
Stevenson and his supporters in
dicated in interviews they regard
Symington as perhaps more of a
threat of their own aspirations
than Sen. Estes Kefauver ' (D-
Tenn), who whipped Stevenson in
the Minnesota vote or New York's
Gov. Averill Harriman.
Symington, former secretary of
the Air Force, has kept to the side
lines thus far In the battle for the
nomination. .,. .
The personable and handsome
Missouri Senator doesn't have any
wide base of political support with
in the party.
But all this could chance oulck-
ly if former President Truman
should give Symington a nod, or if
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex)
should indicate public support for
the Missourian.
Symington isn't so committed
on the racial issue as to be ob
jectionable to the South. On the
other hand, he isn't labeled as a
Dixie candidate who would be un
acceptable to northern Democratic
leaders forced to deal directly with
the racial question in big cities
such as New York and Chicago.
