Mrs. Kefauver Would
Have Time of Life as
White House Resident
Editor's note: Thl li lh sec

eratie presidential possibilities.
Washington U.R) Mrs. Estes
Kefauver would have the time
of her life as first lady of the
land just as she is in her cam
paigning around the country as
the wife of a presidential hope
ful. The high-spirited wife of the
Democratic senator from Ten
nessee is of course convinced her
husband is the best man in the
race but "We certainly didn't
expect anything like the success
we've been getting. I think his
chances are good now."
Take Life in Stride
Both Kefauvers like people
and take the spotlight of public
life in their stride.
Nancy Kefauver has a trim
figure, green eyes, petal-smooth
skin and coppery gold hair. She
loves brilliant green and usually
wears it ,if only in a touch of
iade jewelry.
There are four young Kefau
vers: Linda, 10; David, 6, who
was adopted when the Kefauvers
thought they would have no
more children; Diane, 4, and
Gail, 17 months.

Long Hospital Slay
Near Completion
For Injured Pilot
Pilot Tommy Helman, who
was badly burned in the crash
of a cloud-seeding airplane last
May, will be released from Com
munity hospital in two or three
weeks, his wife said today.
Helman was burned over more
than 50 per cent of his body's
surface when his plane crashed
and burned in the Camp' White
area. He has been in the hospital
since then.
His legs were burned over all
their skin surface, Mrs. Helman
explained, and although only the
front of the legs are healed, he
was able to get out of bed and
take his first steps January 29,
At intervals since he has been
able to get up, and now is walk
ing about three times a day for
half-hour or hour periods, she
said, ...
More Skin Grafts
Helman will have to return
to the hospital from time to time
for further skin grafts. Only
body skin from his chest and
back, where it was not burned,
can be used in grafting opera
tions, and the skin on his back
has so far been unusable because
he has been bedridden most of
the time. This is one reason the
grafting process has been a slow
one, Mrs. Helman said.
Mrs. Helman spends all the
time she can with her husband,
and she stated that his friends
have been faithful in continuing
to visit him. The couple has two
children, Tommy Dean, 8, who
attends Griffin Creek school, and
Christine, 5.
County Milk Output
17,000,000 Quarts
Jackson county farmers are
shipping to market approximate
ly 17,000,000 quarts of whole
milk a year, about 795 per cent
more than Z5 years ago, accord
ing to an analysis of state and
federal dairy statistics.
The milk, together with that
used for cream and other dairy
products, is produced on more
than 565 dairy farms in the coun
ty and comes from about 9,000
cows, according to the analysis
which was prepared by the
American Can company.
A large amount of the milk
produced locally goes to the Eu
gene and Roseburg areas, the
analysis points out. Jackson
county dairies supply about 14
per cent of Eugene's annual
milk requirements.
Figures for the state of Ore
gon show that more than 13,000
dairy farms sell about 378,900,
000 quarts of whole milk an
nimlly. This compares with about
38.250 farms producing 148,372,-
000 quarts of milk in 1924.

FINEST LAWN
about the advantages of moving
to the White House. They liked
things the way they were when
the senator had time to roller-
skate and take them for rides on
his motor bike.
When their parents arrived
home from the New Hampshire
primary, the youngsters rigged
a bag of water over the doorway
to plop on the senator's head.
Mrs. Kefauver says the children
"hate to see daddy away from
home" so much. She interrupts
the politicking schedule to fly
home almost every week-end.
Honor Astonishes
She was astonished when she
recently was named the best
dressed woman in public life.
She has never owned a custom-
made outfit, and is doing much
of her campaigning in a five-
year-old suit. She likes to sew
and, in more leisurely days,
made many of her own clothes
and some of the children s.
She is a talented artist and
until a year or two ago spent
much time with palette and
brush. Her oil portraits of the
children hang in almost every
room of the comfortable, unpre
tentious Kefauver home.
Born in Scotland
Mrs. Kefauver is 10 years
younger than her 50-year-old
husband. She was born in Scot
land of American parents and
so always has been an American
citizen although her father later
became a British subject. She
met the senator, then a -young
lawyer, on a blind date during
a visit to Chattanooga.

Southern Oregon Grazing
Land for State Beef Seen
In Proposal by Pearson
Salem ftJ.fi) P e r s o n s con
fined to state institutions would;
feed on southern Oregon beef
under a plan proposed to the
state Board of Control by State
Treasurer Waiter J. PeBrson.
Land Set Up For Lease
Pearson said several thousand
acres of excellent grazing iBnd
in the Warner valley east of
Lakeview are up for lease by the
State Land Board. He urged the
Board of Control to investigate
the possibility of the state's
leasing this land for the running
of cattle.
Gov. Douglas McKay expres
sed apprehension that the state
"might get its fingers burned"
if it went into beef production
on that scale. He said:
"The cattle business is at a
peak now, but no one knows
when the market will break. I
have seen many cattlemen who
have gone broke and there is
always a chance for the state
to lose out on a deal of this sort."
Newbry Favors Check
Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry favored checking the
plan. He was inclined to favor
it, but said it would need much
more information on costs to
make up his mind. .
The Board of Control approved
