NEW YORK, Sept. 11 (UP) Republican campaign chiefs

'52 Kids Day
Program Set
For Sept. 27
Members of the Bend Kiwanis.
club are busy this week with
plans for Kids' Day, an annual
event sponsored by the clubmen,
President Jack Wetle reported to
day. Held in connection with a
national Kiwanis program, Kids'
Day this year will be Saturday,
Sept. 27. ... -
As in the past, a phase of the
program will include election of
a group of youngsters to take ov
er reins of the city for a day.
Glenn H. Lay Is chairman of
this year's Kids' Day committee.
Serving with him are Wayne
Hamilton, H. C. Reish, Gordon
McKay, A. J. Glassow, C. L. Al
len, Dr. Lorance B. Evers, Don
Thompson, Albert Nelson, and
Dr. P. W. Chernenkoff.
Wetle reported that Kids' day
Is designed to attract more at
tention to the problems of youth
and to raise funds to meet those
needs. He stressed that Kids' Day
is not a commercial vehicle and
noted that "the only ones who
benefit by it are underprivileged
boys and girls." -
'All funds raised through Kids'
Day activities will remain in our
community to be spent Under the
supervision of Kiwanians and
other interested youth organiza
tions," Wetle stated.
Shortage of Milk v
Reported in Area
A milk shortage is developing
in the Central Oregon area, par
ticularly in Prinevllle.
The Prinevllle Creamery faced
a shortage this week'and attempt
ed to purchase 1,000 gallons in
Portland, but discovered a short
age there also. The creamery was
able to obtain only 500 gallons
from Portland. '
Bend distributors today report
ed a developing shortage that is
expected to reach its peak in the
hunting- season. Prineville sought
to buy milk in the Bend area, but
found none available.
The Redmond, Culver and Ma
dras areas reported the supply
just equalling the demand at
present. However, a shortage Is
expected, because of seasonal fac
tors. Dairy cows are starting
their season decline in production,
with the butterfat content of. the
milk going up and the quantity
of the milk going down.
Tourist travel demands, plus
the usual demands for more milk
with the start of the school year,
were reported as factors causing
tne present area-wide snortage.
But, it was learned, the major
factor is the declining number of
dairy cows in the Central Oregon
region, plus the interest of dairy
men in other enterprises more lu
crative than dairy.
More dairymen are going out
of business than going in, and,
according to a survey by Kessler
Cannon of radio station KBND,
the region faces a cumulative sit
uation, rather than a sudden
change. .
Boys Town Choir
To Perform Here
Father Flanagan's Boys Town
choir, now making its sixth an
nual concert tour, will appear at
the Kenwood gymnasium next
Thursday evening under the aus
pices of the Bend Knights of Co
lumbus. The program Is sched
uled for 8 p.m.
The choir will sing under the
direction of Rev. Francis P.
Schmltt, who Is in complete
charge of all musical activities at
the famous home for boys estab
lished by the late Father Flana
gan in 1917.
Boys comprising the choir
range in age from 12 to 19 years
and come from many states
throughout the nation, on tne
tour this year are 54 boys, many
of whom are among the athletic
and scholastic leaders in the fam
ed Nebraska school, which has
become a melting pot of races,
colors and creeds. Many nation
alities are represented in the
choir.

an increased tempo."
Other spokesmen close to the re
tired general agreed that Elsen
hower relishes his new role as a
politician to such an extent that he
doesn't pace himself like most sea
soned campaigners.
Problem Faced
They said they now are faced
with the problem of sparing Eisen
hower's energy for the h e a vy
schedule ahead. .
Adams said Eisenhower's nine
day, 7.000-mlle trip which ended
Wednesday proved "affection for
him was not bounded by sectional
areas or by stale lines."
"Everywhere, beginning in At
lanta and ending in Indianapolis,
General Eisenhower was received
by large and enthusiastic crowds,"
Adams said.
"People want a change from the
mess-in Washington, whether they
live in Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Minnesota, Ohio or Indiana"
"Mess In Washington"
The "mess in Washington" was
the theme of Eisenhower's first
road trip and the states Adams
referred to were those which the
general visited. .
' Eisenhower returned to his home
on the Columbia University campus
Wednesday and will remain there
Until Sunday, working mostly on
speeches. He will hit the road again
Sunday for plane and train trips
almost without interruption until
election day.

John L. Lewis
May Win Fight
' WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 lid-John
L. Lewis appeared on the road to
victory Thursday in his drive to
split the coal Industry and win new
contracts for at least some of his
475.000 miners. ,
The United Mine Workers chief
was slated to resume his campaign
for a ' new anthracite contract in
talks Thursday with the hard coal
operators. The bargaining got un
der way amid optimistic, reports
on chances of an "interim" settle
ment. .
Progress Seen
The 72-year-old labor leader was
also prepared to take on the South
ern soft coal producers again in a
continuation of negotiations that
appeared, to make progress
Wednesday.
However, a third part of the in
dustrythe Northern coal operators
which includes the so-called "cap
tive" mines of the steel companies
appeared ready to resist Lewis'
demand down to the wire. i
The "wire" in this ease is Sept.
22, termination date of the contract
in the Northern soft coal industry
when the miners will be free to
strike.
10 More Days
Hard coal and Southern soft coal
miners have 10 additional days to
work out an agreement before their
strike dates come due.
Joseph E. Moody, president of
the Southern coal producers' assn.,
reported Wednesday he was "hope
ful" of a settlement, adding that
the operators were willing tS dis
cuss the miners' "share-the-work"
program.
The UMW plan would limit the
miners', work week to three days
by forcing the operators to pay
"penalty" overtime payments for a
fourth and fifth day of work. Behind
the union program is an effort to
spread the work in the industry,
which is in a depressed economic
condition. ,

that the Navy "gets a fair deal." ,

Longshore Union
Protests Decision
PORTLAND, Sept. 11 (IP)
Portland longshoremen were Idle
Thursday because of a "stop
work" meeting being held to pro
test the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals decision last Saturday
upholding the perjury conviction
of longshore leader Harrv
Bridges.
Longshoremen voted Wednes
day night to halt work until 7
a.m. Frtdsy, following an earlier
stop-work meeting held in Sart
Francisco.
Dock sources said about 1250
men would be affected and load
ing on six ships in Portland har

ervation at Camp Pendleton.

Ing out any of the litigants in the
case. k
I told the Fallbrook people if
they wanted to talk to me, that
was fine," the secretary said when
asked If he would see any persons
representing interests opposed to
the government.
The government has no tentative
agreement under consideration, he
declared. A compromise worked
out In 1949 was never approved
by the government because "we
found out that legally we couldn't
sign It," he said.
The door has always been open
to Follbrook interests to see him,
said Kimball. But after the tenta
tive agreement fell through In 1949,
"They never came back."
Crimps In Dans
' Congress put a crimp on original
plans for prosecuting the govern
ment's case by sticking a rider on
the justice department's appropria
tions so that none of its funds could
be used in the prosecution.
Kimball had no comment on how
the Navy would proceed when the
case gets Into court.
TTio government suit Is directed
against 2,400 residents of Santa

claims it purchased when the
Camp Pendleton Marine base was
established near Oceanslde in the
Fallbrook ares.

enlarge on his theory that cor

Members of the Stevenson staff
were secretive as to the actual
contents of Thursday night's
speech. They advised reporters
only that he would "tell the truth
