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.

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. Par
ticipants can vote by sending a
post card to the candidate oi
their choice, Box 185i, Washing

What Is This
Strange Item
Which Howls?
Potlsville, Pa., Dec. 21 Wi Is
it a mountain lion, a bear, a huge
wild dog, or something else?
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."

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

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-

Forest Seeding Program in
Valley Recently Completed
The second cooperative aerial
reseeding program, covering bu
reau of land management and
Willamette Valley Lumber com
pany lands in the area covered
by the Polk county burn of 1945,
was recently completed, accord
ing to District Forester Rodney
O. 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-

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.
