SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Spe
cial) A spontaneous demonstra
tion in which more than 20 states
joined, greeted Douglas McKay
Monday when he appeared on the
Republican Convention platform
Monday to introduce Governor Ar
thur B. Langlie of Washington, the
keynote speaker.. '
Banners for McKay
Oregon delegates, at the sug
gestion of Governor Elmo Smith,
prepared for a modest demonstra
tion with waving of banners bear
ing photographs of McKay and re
leasing balloons with McKay's
name imprinted upon them.
Unfortunately, a supply of heli
um ordered by the delegates, was
not delivered as promised, with
the result the balloons had to be
filled with air and failed to do
much floating, but they were
knocked about on by delegates
and partially fulfillel the intended
purpose.
In introducing Gov. Langlie,
McKay declared that his com
plete honesty, his natural forth
Tightness and his bold political
courage have earned for him, in
admiration and affection, the title
of "Mr. Integrity."
McKay declared that Langlie
was a symbol of "aggressive self
reliancethe confidence and the
willingness to work that Is a re
flection of the pioneer spirit that
built the Pacific Northwest and
that today is still a living force.
"His leadership,"-, McKay con
tinued, "rejects the philosophy
that the federal government is the
proper custodian of the rights and
opprrtun'ties of the individual."
Tradition of Builder's 1
McKay said that Langlie comes
from a tradition of builders, "men
who grew strong, men with vision
to sec, the -ill to do, and the cour
age' to act. He epitomizes by what
he accomplished, as well as what
he' says, the. eternal youth and
the vitality of the Republican
Party."
Two Oregon delegates are not
present at the convention, Robert
A. Elliott, Medford, and State Sen
ator Lowell Steen, Milton-Freewa-ter.
Steen is not here because of
serious illness in his family, al
though there was word Monday
that he might fly in Tuesday or
Wednesday. Bob Elliott was called
Into service as a riserve officer
and was unable to obtain a leave.
Oregon alternate delegates were
pleased Monday when, at the sug
gestion of Gov. Smith, chairman,
all', delegates relinquished their
seats for ? period of time to the
' alternates. The delegates are
seated almost in front of the
speakers rostrum while the alter
nstes are back further, and also
handicapped in some measure by
a huge device rigged up for the
television cameras.
Two buses were used Monday
to transport the delegates from
the hotels to the Cow Palace, and
return. The outgoing . trip was
made readily taking but 22 min
utes but because of heavy trafc
fic on Bdyhore Highway, the re
turn trip Monday night took a full
hour. However, all members of the
delegation praised Gordon Orputt,
who is in charge of the transpor
tation for having the buses at the
hotel on time with sufficient room
for not only the delegates but oth
er Oregon visitors to the conven
tion, u

How About Ethel
Merman
By ED CREAGH
SAN FRANCISCO Ifl-Hey, how
about Ethel Merman for vice
president?
The gal with Ihe brassy voice
might have had the nomination
for the asking last night after the
two songs she did for the Repub
lican television cabaret. Dick
Nixon probably would have voted
for her himself.
The delegates .iad pretty much
sat on their hands up to that point.
There were a few courtesy dem-
to meet and see the wife as well
as the candidate.

onstrations, neither spontaneous
nor unrehearsed. But the main
chore was listening to speeches.
Then up stood Miss Merman, at
the far end of the hall, and the
convention was belted awake.
She got off to a rousing start
with "There's Going to be a
Great Day."
Lots of other Republicans had
been voicing similar views about
the party's prospects for election
dav.
But none of them had the Ethel
Merman voice.
Or the way-down-tohere neck
line, for that matter.

Her great ambition she told her
doting audience, is to sing the Ike

next President, and she didn't

Adlai Charges
Langlie Speech
Twisted Truth
'Just Another Example
Of Self -Righteous
Complacency
By ERNEST B. VACCARO '
LIBERTVVILLE, 111. U1 -Ad-
lai Stevenson Tuesday accused
Republican keynoter Gov. Arthur
Langlie of having "shamelessly
confused facts and falsehoods" in
his address to the GOP national
convention Monday night.
The Democratic presidential
nominee called (he Washington
State Republican governor's ad
dress "another example of the ad
ministration's smug, self - right
eous complacency."
He said Gov. Langlie accused
him in 1952 of having run up a
large deficit in Illinois when he
actually "left the state with a
large treasury 1 balance" without
raising general revenue taxes.
"J' recall ho apology from the
gentleman ' and Monday night's
performance did not enhance my
respect for his accuracy. !
The former Illinois - governor
worked today on the. broad out
line of the major addresses he will
deliver in key appearances in a
grueling campaign leading up to
the eve of the election.. 1
His campaign director, James
Finnegah, has booked six na
tionwide 30-minute. television talks
starting Sept, 13 and 89 five-minute
spot TV programs, most fea
turing talks by Stevenson. '
Stevenson has accepted an invi
tation to address a $50-a-plate
fund-raising dinner in Harrisburg,
Pa., next month and there were
indications this may be his first
major televised address.
His staff here said he also is
weighing decisions on whether to
address a Labor Day rally, at De
troit Sept, 3, an appearance before
the American Legion convention
later that week, and an appear
ance sept. II before the Liberal
party in New York. I
His biggest decision is how to
divide the limited funds now- in
sight for the campaign. The ex
tent to which he may be able to
whistle-stop by train depends on
the success of the campaign fund
raisers. Planes will be used 'also
when time requires.
; Stevenson is keenly aware that
committees can provide - automo
bile caravans' or the cheapest
possible movement Into-' commu
nities. He is said to feel-that; this
may be the' best possible Demo
cratic bet in providing means of
personal contact at a minimum of
expense.- - , ,. ; j ;.v . "...
: Stevenson, .working at' his sheep
farm home near pern, ' is expect.
ed to move his headquarters to
Washington in a week or 10 days.
Between work on his speeches
and correspondence, he takes time
out occasionally for sets of tennis
with people in his party.
Sales Tax Cash j
Oil Cars Need Not
Go for Highways
, Money obtained from a sales tax
on automobiles doesn't need to be
spent for highways, Atty.Gen. Rob
ert Y. Thornton ruled Tuesday.
The opinion was for the Legis
lature's interim tax committee,
which is preparing a 3 per cent
sales tax bill for Ihe next Legis
lature. The committee had feared that
the Constitution wouldn't permit
receipts from a sales tax on auto
mobiles to be placed in the
general fund.
Thornton s ruling, however, is
that such money would go into
the general tuna.

SAN FRANCISCO W-Through a
variety of gadgets and ulcers, the
television industry is: swamping
this convention city just as it did
Chicago last week.
You trip over TV cables in hotel
corridors, you're stopped by traf
fic clustered around delegates be
ing interviewed for live cameras
in 'lobbies, and, on the floor of the
convention itself, you can't move
down an aisle without running into
men carrying Martianlike mobile
equipment. i
One delegate, intrigued by an
outer-space type of portable trans
mitter in the hands of a network
reporter, walked up and demand
ed, "Take me to your leader."
In all, more than 1,200 people
with about 100 cameras arc pro
viding TV coverage from inside
the Cow Palace, on, the streets,
in the hotels and at airports.
John Daley of ABC is the only
TV commentator operating direct
ly within the convention hall. He
and a dozen assistants work in a
tiny booth up near the roof.
"We're sitting on each other's
shoulders," he said, "but we feel
that being right 1 ere in the hall is
the only way to cover it getting
first, not second-hand view, of
things as they happen. The other
networks, by being off the floor,
have to become slaves to their
cameras. Here, the cameras fol
low the narration which follows
the events on the floor itself.
Marshall Diskin, the director,
coordinates ABC's coverage in a
master control room beneath the
stands. Thus far, he hasn't had
a moment as bad as one in Chica
go last week when an ABC cam
era caught a closeup of an ob
viously pregnant woman. On her
shoulder was a big pin, "Harri
man is the man."
"We did just edit it out in
time," Diskin said.' "It never
got on the air."
Walter Cronkite, CBS anchor
man, operates from a studio off
the convention floor. In front of
his desk is an "electronic win-

"It is a constant sword hanging
over our heads, he said. We
keep worrying cne of the techni
cians will go wrong and "le TV
audience will see what's actually
on the other side of the window
lights, surplus cables, bare walls."
Also on the ffround floor and a
good distance from (he assembled
delegations are NBC's Chct Hunt
ley, Dave Brinkley and Bill Hen
ry. They work before a huge
photomural, an air view of San
Francisco. -
This," said Huntley, "is a
tougher convention to cover.- No
fights. And, of course, you can t
manufacture any. It's difficult to
sustain mdience interest. So we
scrape around. We sometimes run
out of things to s.'. Visually, we
try to show as many people and

Statehood for

SAN' FRANCISCO W - Mem
bers of the Republican Platform
Committee Tuesday recommend
ed immediate statehood for Alas
ka and Hawaii. .
The stand on Alaska carried a
reservation on defense. There
were no reservations in the state
ment on Hawaii.
The tentative plank, to be pre
sented la the Republican national
convention late Tuesday, said:
"We pledge Immediate . state
hood for Alaska, recognizing the
fact that adequate provision for
defense requirements must be
made. ' " .
"We pledge immediate state
hood for Hawaii." ' ,. ..
The stand was part of a plank
on "government operations" draft
ed by a subcommittee headed by
Rep. Frances P. Bolton (R-Ohio).
Democrats adopted a similar
plank in Chicago a week ago. It
qalled for immediate statehood for
both territories. .
The GOP platform four years
ago favored immediate statehood
for Hawaii and "statehood for
Alaska under an equitable enab
ling act." .

Maybe you've had your eye on one of the other
two makes of low-priced trucks. But why settle for
second best when Dodge is in the same price class?
After all, Dodge leads in the features that truck
owners look for: " '
Most Payloadl Dodge hauls up to 375 more pounds
of pnyload per trip. It carries the extra weight you'd ,
have to leave behind if you were driving another
truck. Saves trips as well as cash.
Most Powerl Dodge gives you up to 17 more V-8
horsepower than its competitors. You get the brawn
you need for tough hauling jobs without engine,
strain. ,
Easiest Handling! You breeze in and out of the
tightest traffic or parking spots because Dodge is
the sharpest turning truck of all. Try it! It's the
most corpfortflble riding, too.
