r Hope of Demos for Stevenson-Russell Combination Dashed BY LYLE C. WILSON ' Washington (U.R) Dreams! of a Stevenson-Russell presi dential ticket have faded with chilling effect on many Demo crats. In and out of the party there Burned Child Has Third Skin Graft Eva Mae Adams, who was burned February 24 while play ing with matches at her home at 137 Tripp street, today under went her third skin graft at Doernbecher hospital, Portland, according to her mother, Mrs. Carl Adams. The child was tak en to the Portland children's hospital' March 9 and she has had skin grafts at two-week inter vals. Last Saturday was Eva Mae's sixth birthday and Mr. and Mrs Adams were in Portland to ob serve the event with her and to be with her Easter Sunday. With them were their other daughter, Alice, and a son, Charles. Their two older sons, Raymond and Jerry, accompanied them as far as Cottage Grove where they visited relatives. Mrs. Adams reported that Eva Mae is responding exceptionally well to treatment and now the doctors believe she may be dFs missed from the hospital in late June or early July. Truck-Car Collision Kills Two, Hurts One Seattle (U.R) Two persons were killed and another criti cally injured Wednesday night when their car was struck head- on by an Army truck which swerved across the center of the Seattle-Tacoma highway in an ef fort to avoid hitting another automobile. The victims were Ralph Dus tin. 38, driver of the car, and his wife, Corinne, 36, both of Se attle. The other person in the vehicle was Richard E. Hubbard, 39, Tacoma. He suffered a prob able skull fracture as well as other injuries and was taken to Renton hospital. The 2'4-ton truck, which was towing a trailer, was driven by Clay Butts of Fort Lewis and S was part of a convoy, the State Patrol said. J ft?

Daily Additional photographs may be purchased at reasonable prices. No obligation H87ch6c was the idea that a combination of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois and Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia would make the strongest team Democrats could put up. Definite- Refusal Stevenson's Wednesday an nouncement that he could not accept nomination for national office was complete and definite. No double talk. No Stevenson Russell ticket, either. There are other men In the Democratic party. Stevenson and Russell, however, could have been party peace makers of great promise. With moderately good luck they might have re paired damage done the party by the Fair Employment Prac tices dispute. Could Destroy Party The FEPC issue could destroy the Democratic party. So the hunt has been on for a compro mise. Stevenson believes in com pulsory FEPC by state action. If states failed to act, Stevenson would have a federal law. Russell has been the leader of the filibustering southerners op posing compulsory FEPC. Both are reasonable men who, under the pressure for preventing un told harm to their party, well could have compromised Demo cratic differences on the whole civil rights dispute. Gradual Approach Stevenson would have had to abandon the principle of com pulsory FEPC and accept a grad ual approach under federally sponsored voluntary action. Southerners under Russell's leadership, however, doubtless would have joined in accept ance of other civil rights pro jects.

Donne What is the greatest number of flights of stairs you ever climbed in a building? My rec-. ord is 14 in an office building during an elevator strike. When that plane crashed into the Em pire State Building several years ago the crash put the elevators out of service. So the firemen fighting the blaze had to climb 79 flights of stairs carrying their equipment. Some climb. Makes me shudder even to think of it. In A Few Words It was Wilson Mizner who ob served: "Women can instantly see through each other and it is surprising how little they ob serve that is pleasant." Ed Howe advised: "Instead of loving your enemies, treat your friends a little better." Frederick Nietsche said: "There are two things a real man likes danger and play and he likes women be cause they are the most danger ous playthings." Asking Queries from clients: Q. In what year did Mary Garden portray Salome and do the dance of the Seven Veils at the Metropolitan Opera House? A. Mary Garden never sang with the Metropolitan Opera Com pany. She starred in Salome under the management of Oscar Hammerstein at the Manhattan Opera House in 1908. Q. Why do you write it Atlantic City, N. J.? The N. J. is superfluous. There is only one Atlantic City and everybody knows it is in New Jersey. A. There is an Atlantic City in Wyoming. Shoes Not so long ago I had a little trouble with my feet. I was ad vised to try made-to-order shoes. I did. I had to pay so much for those shoes I am ashamed to mention the price. It was truly terrific. Well, sir, just before that I had purchased a pair of shoes at a regular retail outlet. Cost me about one third as much as the made-to-order job. The shoes that came right off the shelf of a retail store fitted me better and wore better than the made-to-order shoes. I might add that the man who made the shoes to order is spoken of as the best in the country. People come from all over the country to acquire his shoes. But as I have stated, the retail shop shoes have served me better. Horses Ic Women "What is more beautiful than a beautiful woman?" said Thack eray. I am entirely in accord with his line of thought. My en joyment in gazing at a thing of feminine beauty is second to none. However, when I go to see a film my major hope is to be entertained by some good acting. When some of these Hol lywood beauties try to act the result is pathetic. The film pro ducers continue to select young women for stardom who are beautiful with a view toward teaching them to act. I think it would be better to select girls who can act, regardless of their looks, and then try to make them beautiful. It certainly is easier to make a good actress appear beautiful than it is to teach a dumb beauty to act. If I want to see beautiful women I can stroll down Madison Avenue any afternoon or go to the Copa cabana or the Latin Quarters at night, but good actresses are hard to find. Anyway, let me say that when I go to the movies I would rather see Thelma Hit ter brilliantly handle an amus ing characterization than view the feeble acting efforts of a lot of Hollywood beauties I could name. Trick Problem A Bostonian describes that "How Old Is Ann?" puzzler as a "trick problem." It isn't. It is a straight mathematical problem that can be easily solved by al gebra. A "trick problem" is a different thing, such as this old timer: A man points at a picture 2 TINS Pp PP Mtrry-Go-Round rlxCC Rides for Children Under 12 All Week During Our Big Birthday Sale 5B3.9e by e. v. During Features Syndicate, Inc.) and says: Brothers and sisters I have none, but that man's father is my father's son." Whose pic ture was it? This is an extremely simple problem but so tricky it puzzles quite a few people. How about you? Over There The world' greatest horse players are the British. In Brit ain what we call a parlay is re ferred to as an accumulator. Not long ago a bettor, starting off with the equivalent of about ten dollars, placed a six horse ac cumulator or parlay with the celebrated London bookmaker, Arthur Cope. After five win ning faces the original ten dol lars had grown to Sou.OOO! This amount went on a horse named Aigle Royal Second, which started at odds of twelve to one. So Cope, the bookmaker, who was present at the race, stood to lose $600,000! Imagine having over half a million dollars riding on one horse! Well, Aigle Royal Second lost the race. So the fel low who had the parlay was out ten dollars. Literary Note Am asked In what part of Brooklyn Clarence E. Mulford resided when he wrote the first of the "Hopalong" Cassidy stories. Couldn't say, however, I believe he was a city employee, working in the License Bureau. Anyway, it was as I stated, Mul ford wrote twenty-eight "Hopa long" Cassidy books before he had ever been farther west than Chicago. Highway The Highway of Freedom.

JESS CARD GOP Candidate Visits GOP Commitfee Candidate Visits Party Leaders Here Jess Gard, candidate for Re publican national committee man from Oregon, held confer ences with Jackson county party leaders here yesterday and met with a women's group at noon and with a group of men in the evening. As treasurer and director of the Interstate Tractor and Equipment Co., Portland, Card's business interests extend throughout the state with offjees at The Dalles, Eugene, Salem, Astoria, McMinnville and Rose burg. His business career pro gressed from clerk in a Madras bank to major executive posi tions with Oregon's largest bank ing concern. He accepted his present responsibilities in 1946. Long Active Politically, Card has long been active in the high councils of the Republican party. Begin ning first as a worker and later becoming a precinct committee man, he has been a member of the state campaign committees in most highly contested elec tions of recent years. Gard served as a member of the Multnomah county central committee and as a delegate to the state convention of the Re publican club. He was a mem ber of the successful GOP cam paign of Gov. Douglas McKay; finance committee chairman for U. S. Sen. Wayne L. Morse, and active in the historical write-in campaign for supreme court Justice Harold Warner. For 25 years Gard has been one of Portland's and the state's most active civic leaders. He was president of the 1946 Rose Festival association, a director since 1940 and now is an honor ary director. He is a trustee of Willamette university and for nine years has been a trustee of the Boy's and Girl's Aid Society. Qualities Said Needed In his talks here Gard said this nation needs a president in whom the people will have con fidence, and one able to say "no" to some pressure groups. How ever, the realities of politics make it necessary to nominate a man who can be elected, he said, and party leaders must realize that no candidate "has every thing." Gard said he personally be lieved General Eisenhower to be the best possibility among the candidates now being consider ed, and to stand the best chance of being elected. The Portlander added that it was highly import ant for Republican party leaders to stand united at this time and said he would support whatever candidate was selected. The candidate stressed that this is the year when all "Repub licans must "stand forth and be counted" and said party mem blrs must realize that their pri vate businesses and personal pleasures should take a back seat when "the preservation of thiscountry is concerned." The Grange Roxy Ann Grange Roxy Ann Grange will meet Friday, April 18. The program theme will be "Springtime" and belated Easter. There will be no square dance on Saturday, April 19, as there is to be a truckers dinner on that night. ON IPage 3 SECTION TWO TODAY FOR GROCETERIA SAVINGS! Thursdey, April 17, 1951 California.!
