CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER BEND THE LETIN 52nd Year One Section Will Ike Run, Hall, Butler in Verbal Joust CHICAGO (UP) The top brass! Hall predicted Mr. Eisenhower of the Republican and Democratic will announce his 1956 plans "pret parties, both meeting in Chicago ty well" before the GOP conven- totiay, have clashed headon ovrttion at San Francisco. whether President Eisenhower will mn again for the White House. GOP National Chairman Leon ard Hall said he is basing all his campaign plans on the assumpt ion that it will be "Ike and Nix on" for the Republicans in 19.r6. But Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler, holding a simultaneous news conference late yestei-duy. doubted whether the President wants a second term. Match Predictions "I don't believe ho is happy as pivsident," Butler said. "He doesn't appear to be enjoying the responsibility of his office." Hall and Butler matched predic tions as leaders of both parties met to plan their 1956 presidential conventions. The Democrats also gathered to gether 15 party farm experts, in eluding two former agriculture secretaries, to lay the groundwork for what they hope will be a po tent farm policy plank next year.

Referring to the President, Hall said "We're going to have the most popular candidate In history at our convention. We've got the climate lor victory peace and prosperity." Family Consideration Butler retorted "If I were in Mr. Hall's shoes I would be very unhappy if I didn't think he (Mr. Eisenhower) would be a candi date." He added that "those family considerations that I got hell for mentioning a while ago" would also play a part in making the presidency less attractive to Mr. Eisenhower. Butler referred to his statement last March that Mrs. Eisenhow er's health might be a deciding factor in her husband's political plans. Republicans accused Butler at the time of resorting to smear tactics. The Democratic leader went on! to attack the President for "prob-l Growers Opposing U.S. Plan To Chop Up Spuds for Feed Sppelal to The Bulletin REDMOND Central Oregon Po tato Growers showed scant sym pathy Monday night for the De partment of Agriculture's proposal that 20 per cent of their surplus potatoes be chopped for feed un der official inspection.

Peron Taking Refuge in Paraguay BUENOS AIRES (UP) Presi- A diplomatic source said that take a large number of import dent Juan D. Peron, ousted by a! former Army Minister Gen. Frank-1 ant members of the Peron regime successful revolt against his nine- year rule as dictator, headed for exile in Paraguay today. The Paraguayan amhassador to Argentine escorted Peron board the Paraguayan gunboat Paraguay at 8 a.m. today. The former President left to go into exile even as leaders of the cvolt negotiated with a 13 - man military committee to restore x'oce to this country. Paraguayan Ambassador Juan Chaves accompanied Peron on board the girnboM. Then he re turned ashore in Buenos Aires. He returned to the vessel later with food and other supplies for Peron's -v-rsonal comfort because of Uz'.i of adeqint" facilities on txnrd. The gunboat, which had been Aires was expected to sail mo-, 'mentarily. ' ably spending less time at the job of President than any other Pres ident in the 20th century. Argue Over Farmers Mr. Eisenhower is more interest ed in helping "his big business friends" than the nation's fanners, Bui ft1 r charged, and his adminis tration has followed a "callous" and "unsympathetic" farm policy. Claude R. Wickard. former sec retary of agriculture and chair man of the Democrats' Farm Ad visory Committee, backed up But ler by warning that American .fanners are heading for a de pression. Hall, snapping back at Butler, said the Democratic leader "talks a lot and does nothing." The farm price drop was caused by a Democratic law and two thirds of the slump occurred in the Truman administration, Hall said. He defended Vice President Richard M. Nixon as "one of our best campaigners and fighters" and said the issue of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy "is so far back that you almost never hear of It." felt that they "shouldn't give up on Section 32 funds" but should try to exert enough influence to do away with chopping inch or four-ounce U.S. number ones, with six ounce or larger for number twos, and slightly skinned Alternative votes prior to this one failed. Growers felt that the size regulation set will insure consum ers the best quality potatoes' from the current crop and return the cost of production and a reasona ble profit to the growers. In other actions the group voted to assign undorsize or Bs for live stock food, added frost damage to the disaster permits, recommend ed that regulations established bo in effect for the season (however, it potatoes come up to parity the Secretary of Agriculture can re move these marketing regulations). regulations). Harvesting costs and wages will e the same as last year, with Other rates are 70c per ton for bucking, six cents for 60 pounds for picking, $4.80 per ton for com plete job on contract picking, bucking, hauling, and depositing in the cellar. No recommendation was made by COPGA on the National Potato Council's request that growers fa vor either a national marketing agreemnt or acreage control. Re porting for Louis Lyon who attend ed meetings of th group in Chi cago last week, Snabel discussed some of the reasons given at that meeting for the anticipated potato surplus this year. They include: diverted areas going into spud production, ideal growing condi tions nationally, above average spring market prices last year, reclamation projects putting new lands into use, increase in corpor ate farming, and previous drought areas now producing. Thus produc tion is up In spite of the fact that consumption has also increased nationally. Accountant Lee Rennolds gave the financial report showing a small balance remaining in the treasury. He reported the COPGA is no longer classed as a farmer cooperative, thus removing it from income tax liability. Directors N L. Weigand of Crook county and Dwight Macy, Jefferson county, were re-elected, and Lloyd Priday was elected for Deschutes county. Macy presided at the meeting and Keith Ferguson was secretary. The meeting was in American Legion hall with a large attendance. ' in Cicero naj taken refuge in the Uruguayan Embassy here.

Diplomatic sources said that ju dicially Peron's status aboard the Paraguay, which is n foreign ship, was the same as taking asylum in a Foreign Embassy.

(UP) Hurri cane lone swept "well out to sea" today and the Weather Bureau said the East Coast was out of danger barring a sudden and "radical" change of course. A special bulletin issued by the Washington Weather Bureau said the storm was "moving eastward away from the coast." It was cen tered at that time about 200 miles east of Norfolk. Conrad P. Mook. meteorologist In charge of the Emergency Warn ing Center in Washington, told re porters that it would take a "radi cal change of course" witlun the next two or three hours for lone to present any threat whatever to the Last oaai.

But before swerving out to sea during the night, it struck savagely through North Carolina and Vir ginia coastal areas, leaving at least two dead and "tens of mil lions of dollar" of damage in its wake.

No. 243 Father Makes Plea for Safe Return of Son SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-A mass search of a 30-block area around Mount Zion Hospital failed today to turn up any clue to the where abouts of a three-day-old baby stolen from the hospital nursery. Nearly 300 police officers took part in the search. They had orders to "go beyond the call of duty," if necessary, to find little Robert Marcus. But the mass questioning ot householders failed to uncover any clue to the Infant's whereabouts and It had -to be given up.

"Tell her I am not vindictive. We are not angry... I know she is someone who loves children, but we love our children too. "My wife is completely broken up. I had to give her a sedative... within our ability we will refrain from punishing her if she will bring our baby back unharmed." The kidnaping took place in the Mount Zion Hospital nursery Mon day. It tourhed off one of the most intensive police searches In Snn Francisco history. Mount ion Hospital offered a $1,000 reward for information lead ing to recovery of the child. - The kidnaper was believed to be " n woman with "stringy blonde hair," about 34 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds.
