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

ials committee and the resolu
tions committee will organize
some days before the convention
meets. Both are vital lo Taft t
convention strategy. 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.
Local Forest Men

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.

(Editor's note: Jn coopera
tion with the local civil de
fense organization. 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

over the past 154 years.
Mr. Truman said the discrim

bill "repudiates our basic reli

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. Salvage sales are be
ing prepared to remove these
tret-s as soon as possible.

Have you tried
Buick's Power Steh..bg
i
High-tailing down a broad straight
road, you have that same sure
sense of command that has always put
such a thrill into piloting a great
performer.
You're the boss. Your hands tell you so.
It's the feel that so many folks who love
to drive have come to know and enjoy.
This year, you also have at your com
mand the highest horsepower in Buick
history and an Airpower carburetor,
with two barrels in reserve to deliver
an extra spurt when needed.
You have the size, the silence, the
smoothness that make this Ro admaster
so distinguished among fine cars.
Wh ere then, you ask, does Power
Steeringt come in?
When you want to get into-or out of
a tight spot at the curb, Power Steering
takes over the extra effort of turning the
wheels, and you can forget the two-tons-plus
of automobile you're handling.
When you want to turn around in a
narrow space Power Steering lets you
get the last inch of benefit from Buick's
short turning radius, because it makes
the maneuver so easy.
When one front wheel hits a bump, r
chuckhole, loose sand or dirt at the edge
of a road Power Steering takes up the
jerk-makes control of the wheel easier
and therefore safer.
Many folks who haVe tried it tell us
that Power Steering has added almost
as much to the pleasure of owning a
Buick as Dynaflow Drive.
When would you like to try it?
