In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS : I listened the other night to Senator Estes Kefauver, cam paigning in Oregon. It was an experience I wouldn't have miss ed for anything. Kefauver Is young. He Is charming. He is magnetic. He is "homey." He wasn't wearing his coonskin cap, which I regretted. I grew up among coonskin caps, and they typify a certain kind of person. He is that kind. TIE'S against sin. He's sure that XM-il we're good we'll be happy. He thinks all people are good but Democrats are a little better. He's against war. He's for peace. Not peace at any price. Just peace. He doesn't mention price. Nor does he mention that down through the centuries peace,, when had, along with liberty, has been purchased with the most priceless of all currencies the blood of men whoare will ing to do if need be so that their children may have the precious boon of peace with liberty. He thinks the employer should have ample profits. The workers should have all the wages they END of the RIVER PLUS J1IHCH2V dates upen ar o:ju Show at 7:45 ANNOUNCEMENT ' For SALES AND SERVICE of the Famous ELECTROLUX Cleaner and Air Purifier and other Home Maintenance Products please .1 . .

Social security should take care of all the rest of the world's troubles. LISTENING to him, I could see why he gets so many votes. When he quit talking in his pleasant, sincere, gracious tol erant way, I was nearly ready to dash down to the court house and change my registration so I could vote for him. ' Characteristically, I'd forgot ten it was TOO LATE to change my registration. That's what hap pens to you when you listen to the man. T ATER, after the magnetism of his personality wore off, It occurred to me that he hadn't mentioned what he was going to do to bring all these beautiful things about. Peace, virtue and happiness, you' know, don't Just happen. They have to be MADE to happen. He hadn't said anything about that. . T KIND of wish I hadn't had that sober, practical second thought. It's so wonderful to feel that God's In His heaven and all's well with the world and no body will ever have to worry again. Senator Kefauver makes you feel that way. For that reason, don't write him off as a possi bility. We all love to be made to feel that way. CJPEAKING of voting, I voted my preferenee Friday for General Eisenhower because I believe that all things considered he's the best man we can get for our leader in the trying times that lie ahead of us. Since I ex pressed my preference for Eisen hower, I wanted to vote for dele gates to the Republican conven tion who will stay with him to the last defensible ditch. There were many lists of such, but I made my own, based among other things, on the per sonal reputation and the per sonal word of men I know. Here's the list: Howard Belton. He says he'll abide by the primary results. What Howard says, he means. Zylpha Zell Burns and Leslie (Mrs. Chas. E.) Miller. Men have made such a mess of politics that I'd like to see more women get into it. U. G. (Dean) Dubach. He tells me he's for Ike and if Oregon voters go for Ike he'll go along to the end. Frank E. (Ned) Fow ler. He's a veteran, and we've got to work the vets in. Bob Elliott, of Medford. He has a screwball ballot slogan: "Re-elect a Republican pledged to vote for the choice of ALL Re publicans." How can you vote for the choice of ALL Republi cans, I kidded him. He laughed. "My wife asked me that same question," he said, "and I had to admit I must have been nuts when I wrote it. But I'll stick to the finish for the choice of Ore gon Republicans." Bill McAllister. I know him, too, and trust him. Douglas Mc Kay. Same reason. Gordon Orput and Lamar Tooze. I'M lor Eisenhower, but I re spect the opinions of others. If you were for Taft, you should have voted for six delegates-at-large who filed by petition so they could vote for Taft. Their names, I think, were fairly well known by primary election day. The only criticism I have to of fer in regard to them is that I wish they had said OPENLY that they're for Taft and had olicited votes on that basis. Being for Taft is nothing to be ashamed of. Coal miners in Pennsylvania earned between $75 and $80 per week for the first 10 months of 1951, according to state reports. Dead line Sunaaj Clsielflede u 11 noon Saturday. TV r Trailways Bus Depot 148 No. Front Phone 3-1853 Lyle D. Rogers, Agent Blame Placed in Settlement Delay In Oil Dispute Denver (U.R) The Issue of wage re-opening provisions and strikers' "disappointment" at 15-cents an hour pay increase for delaying a general settle ment of .the nationwide oil strike. Meanwhile, shortages con tinued to plage commercial and other forms of civilian aviation although motorists in general were expected to hit the roads for their Sunday drives without much difficulty. New Airline Cuts Some airlines continued to an nounce new cuts in schedules to meet a government order for a reduction by 30 per cent in consumption of aviation gaso line, the supply of which has been hardest hit by the walkout. A union spokesman said two factors had caused the slow down in the scores of bargaining sessions at local level across the country, preventing an imme diate general windup of the 18-day-old walkout of 90,000 oil workers. General Dissappoinlment One,' he said, was a feeling of general disappointment on t(ie strikers' part at the 15-cents an hour wage increase ceiling which in turn led them to insist that they be satisfied with "ma jor details in the new wage contracts. This, the spokesman said, had slowed the negotiators in reaching agreements. A second major factor, the spokesman said, was that a large number of oil companies were insisting on one-year contracts without six-months wage re opening clauses, and the unions were standing firm on demands thaf the wage-reopening pro visions be Included. For this reason, an official of the CIO Oil Workers Interna tional Union said, no agree ments "of any consequence" have been reached, , Four Persons Found Victims of Gunshots Marion, 111. (U.R) Four persons, a well-to-do farmer, his wife, their young daughter andi an 80-year-old boarder, were shot and killed in bed. Authorities said the murderer might still be at large. The bodies of Bryan Cash, 42, his wife, Dimple, 40. their 11-year-old daughter Genevieve, and George Tripp were found Friday on Cash's well-kept 100 acre farm near here. Dead Since Tuesday Coroner Sam Simmons said all had been-dead since Tuesday. Mrs. Cash's body, clad only in a slip, was found in her bed. Her husband lay alongside the bed. Both had been shot In the head with a shotgun. It was found nearby. In a second bedroom lay the body of Genevieve. She also had been shot in the head, but with a .22 rifle. She apparently died instantly in her bed. The bed clothes still covered her. Tripp's body was In his bed in a third room. He was fully clothed except for his shoes. A : ( - Potato Acreage Reduction Blamed Hartford, Conn. U.R) The state OPS director charged Sat urday that farmers deliberately reduced their potato acreage In 1951 in an effort to avoid over supply and resultant low prices this year. James E. Kelley said this re duction, in addition to adverse growing conditions last year, Is the main reason for the present potato shortage. He denied that the Office of Price Stabilization was responsible for the shortage. COMING TUESDAY MAY 20 T l II I J.I loTTTTT : ( Rogue Valley Ballroom j3 Sen. Kefauver Adds 12 Convention With Oregon Victory By UNITED PHESS Latest developments in the presidential race: DEMOCRATS KEFAUVER Sen Estes Ke fauver of Tennessee tucked away 12 more convention dele gates with an expected easy vic tory in the Oregon primary over Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Il linois and Supreme Court Jus tice William O. Douglas, both of whom were entered without their consent. HARRIM AN Mutual Securi ty Director W. ' Averell Harri man said the Democrats should immediately expand the party's programs during the Roosevelt Truman administrations. McMAHON Sen; Brien Mc Mahon of Connecticut called for an even stronger civil rights program than the party had in 1948, and said he also would fight for inclusion in the 1952 platform of a pledge to change Senate rules to prevent filibust ers bv Southern Democrats. DOUGLAS Sen. Paul H. Douglas of Illinois said he is backing Kefauver "because I be lieve, of all Democrats, he is the best man to beat any Re publican, including General Eisenhower." REPUBLICANS EISENHOWER Gen. Dwlght D. Eisenhower swamped Gov. Earl Warren of California, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Sen Wayne Morse of Oregon, and Harold E. Stassen in the Oregon primary, but was not certain to pick up all that state's 18 convention delegates. WARREN The governor con ceded to Eisenhower shortly aft er the polls closed, and said the results "confirm a surmise I have had ever since I entered Oregon to campaign that the voters of Oregon favor General Eisen hower . . ." TAFT Sen. Robert A. Taft .22 rifle was cradled in his left arm, and he had been shot in the mouth. v"It's .the most awful crime I ever saw," said Deputy Sheriff Charles Edwards. "I've never seen anything like it." It appeared at first that the slaying might have been murders and suicide. Simons said it was possible that Tripp had killed all three members of the family, then lain down and taken his own life. However, the lack of any ap parent motive which would prompt Tripp to kill the Cash family made officers hesitant to rule put the possibility that a fifth person had committed the slayings and fled. Willamette River Reaches Flood Stage Portland (U.R) The Wil lamette river reached its first flood stage of the year in the Portland area Saturday. The river, swollen by back waters of a runoff freshet down the Columbia river, moved over the 18-foot flood stage mark and river forecasters said it would probably be a half-foot over that mark by nightfall. The Columbia at Vancouver, Wash., has been over 15-foot flood stage there throughout the week. STANFORD SWIMMERS WIN Stanford, Calif.
