Ike Leads Taft 47-36, 'Pearson Finds in U. S. Poll Results of the iirst two weeks of the Washington Merry-Go-Round poll on the republican candidates for president give Eisenhower 47 per cent of the total vote and Taft 36 per cent, Drew Pearson announced today. Governor Warren came third with 8 per cent and General Mao Arthur fourth with 7 per cent. "Perhaps the most significant development, Pearson said, "was the way Taft is picking up strength in the middle west, with Eisenhower far ahead in the traditionally solid south. "Probably indicating the -Mr-V" I Mary Jane Andre Portland Woman Sought in Salem Mary Jane Andre, 28, who disappeared from her home in Portland, December 8, is believ ed to be somewhere in the vi cinity of Salem. She was last seen at her home in LaFayette apartments, 730 S.W. 16th street, Portland. While she is 28 years old she is said to look much younger, between 105 and 110 pounds, has very fine, light brunette hair. She is a nurses' aid and has done restaurant work. Anyone with information is asked to communicate with E. Kohler, phone Broadway 9884 Portland, who was in Salem Thursday to report the woman's disappearance to Salem police and seek their help in locating her. growth of isolation in the middle west and a feeling that we should curtail our activities in Europe, Taft is running well ahead of Eisenhower in such states as Il linois, Indiana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. "Taft is also running strong in the Rocky mountain states," Pearson said, "leading Eisenhow er in Idaho and Arizona, and running neck and neck in Wy oming and Montana. As was ex pected, Taft ran ahead of Eisen hower in his own state, Ohio, but, surprisingly, is running a tie with Eisenhower in the home state of Vice President Barkley, traditionally non-isolationist. "Eisenhower's greatest strength is showing up in New England and the south, where there has never been strong iso lationist sentiment," Pearson said. "In New Hampshire, where Ike will face his first test, he leads Taft by 54 per cent to 30 per cent, while in rock-ribbed republican Vermont, Eisenhower shows up with 71 per cent of the votes. Only Rhode Island, Lou isiana and Mississippi appro:: imate or top Vermont in the sup port they give Eisenhower. The Pearson poll on the repub lican nominee is continuing.

Game warden John Spencer is trying harder than ever today to find out, after getting a fresh crop of reports irom uneasy Schuylkill county residents that they have seen a mysterious wild animal on the loose. By the accounts of many per sons, the animal prowls mostly at night in this eastern Pennsyl vania region, roaming woods and farmlands, popping out on high ways, and letting fly with odd sounds outside cabins and barns. Frank Bosack, owner of an in dependent coal mine nearby, said a watchman at his mine had been frightened by the an mal and now stands guard with a rifle. The watchman reported that the strange beast first ap peared in the mine area about two weeks ago, and since then, has come back nearly every night. He and others have ex amined tracks in mud and snow but "can't figure them out." School Superintendent Quits Portland, Dee. 21 (P) Roy E. Cannon, for the past 23 years su perintendent of Multnomah county schools, will resign Jan 1. He announced his resignation yes t e r d a y . He recommended Errol C. Rees, his assistant, his successor. Rees formerly was with the Clackamas county school system. Master Musician Plays Way Into Hearts of Salem By FRED ZIMMERMAN Yehudi Menuhin, master musi cian that he is, gave ample proof Thursday night to a Salem audi ence why he is one of the top flight violinists of the world. From the moment Menuhin applied his bow to the strings in the Sontat in G Minor by Tartini until the final note of Perpetuum Mobile had died away, he held his audience in the high school auditorium in spellbound atten tion. Quiet in demeanor, with little of the flare of showmanship as socited with the work of some artists, Menuhin gave a remark able exhibition of his ability to play his way into the hearts of his public. Spontaneous applause followed the playing of each number and the ever popular Concerto in E Minor, Opus 64 by Mendelssohn brought the artist back for nu merous curtain calls. It is said this work was the only violin concerto produced by Mendels sohn. He needed no other to make his name live forever. The Six Roumanian Dances by Bartok and I Palpiti by Pagan ini, final programmed numbers, lively in nature, gave Menuhin ample opportunity to show his skill with the violin. Adolph Bailer, accompanist, added greatly to the success of the concert. His work in the first movement of the Sonata No. 9 in A Major by Beethoven was particularly effective with key- Portland Has 46th Traffic Death Portland, Dec. 21 ff) Port land recorded its 46th traffic fatality of the year yesterday.

Fety. Aerial helicopter baiting for rodent control purposes on 2,880 combined acres was completed November 2. Of this, 1,470 acres are under the jurisdiction of the bureau, while 1,410 acres are owned by the Willamette Valley Lumber company of Dallas. Bait was applied at a uniform rate of one-half pound per acre which included a one-fourth mile buffer zone around the area to be tree seeded. The actual aerial tree seeding commenced December 7, and was completed the following day. Of the lands seeded, 730 acres are bureau of land management and 700 acre's belong to the company. The Douglas fir tree seeds were applied upon the 1,430 acres at a rate of about 20,000 seeds to the acre, which number is usually found in one-half pound of Doug jha fir seed. Complete tree stocking on each acre will only require about 800 trees from the 20,000 seeds ap plied. The balance of the seeds will probably be lost through the action of rodents or lack of suf ficient moisture during the crit- r BOTTLED GAS IN EVERY WAY - HAS SOT IT - SO ALL USERS SAY OTCOMvsft Arto JIB i V&VS ical summer weather conditions. Dean Johnson, Inc., of McMinn ville was the contractor and pro vided the helicopter service. In addition to the aerial tree seeding program, a joint bureau of land management-Willamette Valley Lumber company tree planting program was recently completed on favorable sites in the burned area. The bureau planted 122,592 two-year-old Douglas fir tree seedlings cover ing an area of 202 acres, and the company planted 40.000 seed lings upon about 65 acres. John B. Woods, dba Woodseed of Sa lem, Ore., was the contractor for the tree planting project. According to District Forester Fety, at the present rate of pro gress it is anticipated that the greater part of the 15 000 acre Polk county fire area' will receive artificial reforestation treatment, where no natural seed source is available, within the next three years if congress makes adequate appropriations available.
