Jaft Will Pinpoint Campaign on Control Of Convention Works ' By LYLE C. WILSON Washington U.R) Sen. Robert A. Taft will begin Mon day to pinpoint his campaign for Republican presidential nomin ation on control of the national convention machinery. The Ohio senator will arrive In Chicago June 30 for !iat purpose. Reminded that mighty few delegates wili be on hand a week before the convention meets, Taft has pointed out to questioners that members of the key convention committees will be arriving in Chicago early next week. To Hear Arguments These are the national com mittee and the committees on credentials and resolutions. The national committee will begin July 1 to hear arguments on con tested delegations.

The creden tials committee must consider and report on the rival claims of contesting delegates after the national committee has consider ed them. It is in the resolutions commit tee that Taft hopes to break the back of the major pclicy issue raised against him by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Taft holds that he and the general are not far apart on foreign pol icy and that this difference is merely one of method. Looks To Dulles The senator believes John Fos ter Dulles can draft a foreign policy plank on which both he and Eisenhower can stand com fortably. The general said he hoped so, but there was no show .of confidence to accompany the hope. Eisenhower's foreign pol icy speech this week rated his differences with Taft as basic. Dulles negotiated the Japan ese Peace Treaty. He was Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's foreign pol icy adviser in 1948. Since then, Dulles has been part architect of those portions of Truman pol icy deemed to be bi-partisan. Taft said here he would be available in Chicago for two or three days to confer with any delegates who cared to see him. But the senator's final week of his preconvention cam paign will be more aggressive than that. Legitimate Objections He considers influence on key committees or outright control of them to be among the prime and legitimate objectives of his preconvention campaign. This preconvention appearance in Chicago is designed to build higher barriers against Eisen hower's nomination. Taft will be back in Washing ton for what are hoped to be the final days of the congressional session next week. He will re turn to Chicago July 6, the day before the convention opens, to manage his own campaign. Eis enhower has not yet decided whether to make personal Chicago appearance.

Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1952 Pages 1-8 Lawsuit Against Salem Newspaper Returned to Court Salem ttJ.R) The Oregon Supreme Court In a three to two decision ordered a libel case against the Salem Capital Jour nal back to circuit court for trial. Two justices, George Rossman and Earl C. Latourette, wrote dissenting opinions that there were no grounds for sending the case back for trail. Two other justices, Arthur D. Hay and Walter L. Tooze, did not participate in the hearing or de cision. Court Reversed Justice Hall S. Lusk wrote the prevailing opinion reversing the Marion county circuit court of Judge Ralph S. Hamilton and remanded the case for further proceedings in the case of John E. Marr and Robert E. Marr, appellants vs. George Putnam, doing business as the Capital Journal Publishing Co., and Ray Moore. The damage action arose over publication of an article in the Capital Journal six years ago warning against operators of a "radio racket" which offered a free pickup delivery for repair work having no established shop and furnished only a telephone number. Blind Ad Used No names were mentioned in the articles but the plaintiffs, then students at Willamette un iversity, had blind ads in the local papers reading: "Guaran teed radio service, free pickup delivery." It gave a phone num ber of a. service station where pickup calls were received. They claimed the article injured them and asked $10,000 general dam ages and $10,000 punitive dam ages. The opinion by Justice Lusk said evidence was that the plaintiffs "were the only pe sons in the city of Salem to whom the article was appli cable" and "the evidence' would justify a finding that it not only hit the plaintiffs but was aimed directly at them" he stressed that the high court was not rul ing libel was made, but only that there was cause for the case to go on to trial instead of being dismissed. l IHtB can sr., .

The Mail Tribune presents a series of articles about Oregon's emer gency traffic control plan. In the event of any large-scale disaster, hundreds of lives will be saved if roads are kept open. These articles are di rected to all motorists.) For civil as well as military defense, quick movement of forces to the point of need is decisive. In the event of an ex treme emergency in Oregon, here is what will take place on the highways. The state police will immed iately establish control points along some of the principal State and U.S. highways. Among these are Highways 2, 6. 50, 30 E & W, and 99 E & W. This will prevent motorists from jamming high priority roads and blocking the paths of organized relief forces. Emergency route signs will be erected. They have been printed and distributed by the state civil defenise office, and being stored in various localities until need ed-Highway maintenance men in the northwest part of Oregon have strip-maps indicating where each route sign is to be placed. Many of the major roads will carry one-way traffic. Primary roads will be far vehicles headed toward the disaster scene. Sec ondary roads will be used by outbound traffic. Trucks or cars that do not readily appear as emergency ve hicles, such as a panel delivery truck carrying vital supplies, will have identification placards on the windshields. Vehicle plac ards have been distributed throughout Oregon, and, like the route markers, will not be used until needed- These are the highlights of an emergency traffic control plan resulting from eight months of effort by the Slate Civil Defense agency, assisted by the Sheriff's association, City Police Officers association, Oregon State Police, State Highway department, and city and county civil defenre directors.

Oregon Production Employees on Job Less Time in May Salem U.R) Oregon's pro duction workers were on the job 1.4 hours fewer a week in May this year than in May of 1951, the State Unemployment Compensation commission said Wednesday. But their average earnings were slightly higher, the com mission found in a survey made in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Pay Average Up Weekly pay averaged $77.80 compared with $77.58 a year ago. Earnings of cannery em ployees dropped last month to $46.60 a week, about the same as in 1951. Metal and paper plant em ployees changed little from pre vious figures, but printing and publishing workers hit a new high of $89.43 for a 36.4 hour week. It was $5.14 above a year ago. Aerial Timber Survey Set For Completion This Week An aerial survey of timber lands within the Rogue River National forest as the first step to determine extent of wind thrown timber and possible douglas-fir bark beetle infesta tion will be completed this week, according to forest ser vice personnel here. Douglas-fir bark beetles have been increas ing seriously in some parts of western Oregon and are a threat to valuable douglas-fir timber in those locations. No extensive infestations have been found on the Rogue river to date, but further checks will be made. The aerial survey is prelim inary to a cooperative compre hensible study to be completed early this summer in the west ern Oregon area by the forest service, Bureau of Land Man agement, state of Oregon, bur eau of entomology, and the tim ber industry. The current flights are being made to determine ex tent and location of wind thrown timber. Information obtained will be used to point out areas to which special attention will be given on the closer ground examina- President Vetoes Immigration Measure Washington (U.R) P r e s l dent Truman has vetoed a bill to revise and codify all immi gration laws adopted piecemeal over the past 154 years. Mr. Truman said the discrim inatory policy" contained in the bill "repudiates our basic reli gious concepts" of the "brother hood of man." tions to be made later. Wind thrown douglas fir timber serves as a breeding place for the beetles from which they emerge in increased numbers to attack surrounding standing timber. The flights have not revealed extensive wind throw in the Rogue River National forest area, according to Forest Super intendent Jack Wood. This does not eliminate all threat of beetle damage locally, he said. It in dicates wind throw has been confined to single trees or small groups not readily visible from the air, and that breeding places for the beetles are limited cor respondingly. This Is being con firmed by ground checks. Approximately one million feet of timber in small, scattered groups, was blown down by the 1951-1952 winter storms in the area between Union Creek and Prospect.
