X MEDfOFLD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE - Sen. Russell Claims Increased Strength For Demo Nomination Washington U.R) Sen. Richard B. Russell served notice ' Friday he doesn't intend -to be over-shadowed in the race for the Democratic presidential nom ination by Sen. Estes Kefauver's reputation as an anti-crime cru sader. The Georgian sprinkled a bit of cold water on the nationwide acclaim given the lanky Ten neaseean who directed the Senate Crime Committee's, televised crime hearings. . FrMidvd Over Hearings : Appearing on the Columbia Broadcasting System's televised "Mark Evans Show" Thursday .night, Russell noted that he had presided over the Senate hear ings on President Truman's dis- missal of Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur. -. Recalling that the MacArthur inquiry was held in perhaps the most surcharged atmosphere of our times," Russell said: ' "If I could have put my show on the road, it would have far exceeded any other investiga tion." Fought Television Russell said he had to fight against televising the MacArthur inquiry because a third of the data Tevealed during the closed door hearing involved American military plans. Russell predicted he will have "some additional strength come to me on the second and suc ceeding ballots" at the Demo cratic National Convention which opens in Chicago July 21. He said "I hope" to get the 616 vote required for nomina tion "somewhere between the fifth and eighth ballots." COP "Divided" Kefauver took another crack at the Republicans when he told Massachusetts Democratic dele fates in. Boston that the current convention shows the GOP is "so hopelessly divided it cannot he MEAT Center 231 E. 6th Street PORK SAUSAGE ... lb. 39c FRISH GROUND HAMBURGER lb. 55c JOWL BACON'. ....lb. 22c SIDE BACOH lb. 39c HEP LIVER lb. 59c 'PORK LIVER .....lb. 29c jvu uuiuc, Kv nfino Zim entrusted with handling the na tion's affairs." - Kefauver said he is "willing to take on any opponent" nomi nated by the Republicans. He predicted he will get 300 votes on the first ballot and will - be nominated "by the fifth or sixth ballot." A source close to the party's liberal wing said he "knows" Mr. Truman has cooled toward Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi nois and is now supporting Mu tual Security Director Averell Harriman for the presidential nomination. Truman's Candidate This source said Mr. Truman will vote for Harriman at the convention through bis alternate. Although Mr. Truman has not publicly endorsed anyone as his successor, he has been widely reported to: favor Stevenson. However, the governor has said repeatedly he is not an active candidate and never has an nounced definitely he would ac cept the nomination. The source said Mr, Truman feels Stevenson's views on civil rights and some other "Fair Deal" measures are milder than those of Harriman. The Presi dent reiterated this week his un compromising stand on these issues. I Conferences Held Mr. - Truman also conferred separately Thursday with former Democratic National Chairman William M. Boyle Jr., and Ed win W. Pauley, former treasurer of the National Committee. Boyle and Pauley agreed that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will be nominated by the Republicans, and Pauley said this means the Democrats would have to run their "first team.', Elliott Roosevelt., son of the late resident, said during a va cation at Meeker, Colo., that he is "one of many registered Demo crats" who would cross party lines to vote for Eisenhower.

Corn Forecast Bright " .The brightest spot in the Agri culture . Department's first big monthly crop report of 1952 Thursday was the corn crop forecast. Although total acreage plant ed to corn this year is less than last year, acreage was up in high-yielding "corn belt states and pushed prospects for a 3, 365,089,000 bushel crop. This is only 10,000,000 bushels less than called for in production goals. Feed Supply Up .. The department said supplies of livestock feed grains this year will be "fairly large." The short barley crop and smaller-than-average carry-over stocks from previous year's crops, however, will keep the per animal unit supply below than in the three years 1948-50. These feed supplies corn, oats, barley and sorghums de- FEEB STORE GOSSIP By Paul E. Wilson MODERN WAY TO PLOW For 2000 years men have plowed back and forth across fields. Now.

A rabbit litter that weighs scarcely a pound at birth will increase its total weight 30 times in a short 2 months. The Albers Plan of feeding rabbits has proved successful throughout the nation. Albers Rabbit Rations are based upon 25 years of testing at our Research Station. They include every essential, and supply 'plus' values, such as soil values, green grass values, and sun values that make the differ. ence between an average rabbit, feed and a ration that will do an outstand ing job when put to a 'real test.'

The biggest actors in town dial his. number every dy, for he can hand out the most sought after role since "Gone With the Wind." After 10 years of trying, Ross . finally is making "The Robe," from the perennial best selling novel by Lloyd Douglas about a man who helped crucify Christ. Stars Call "I've had calls from almost every star," said Ross. "Some of them are incongruous for the part. I don't want to hurt them, and I don't know what to say "Usually an independent pro ducer is just a guy with a script under his arm, trying to induce somebody to be interested in a property. But now everybody is coming to see me! Ross is enjoying his new fame, since for years, he grinned, he was known as "the man who hadn't produced The Robe'. Sold Screen Rights Richard Halliday, Mary Mar tin's husband, told Ross about the book in 1942 when the two were mowing Halliday's lawn. The book hadn't even been fin ished yet, but Douglas sold Ross the screen rights for $100,000. "After it became a best-seller, MGM wanted to buy it for a million dollars," Ross said. "Many times since I thought I should have my head examined, but I turned them down, because they wouldn't let me produce it "It wasn't that I thought I could make it better. But I just have a great, tremendous love for this thing." Sent Questionnaires It took Ross a "couple of years" to get the screenplay written. And this is the first movie of a best seller that the readers had something to say about. In 1944 he distributed 100,000 questionnaires with the book, asking which portions the readers would like to see filmed. The fans also suggested Cary Grant, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable and Gary Cooper for the leading role. RKO then decided to back the movie, with Gregory Peck as the star. But Howard Hughes bought the studio and decided he didn't want to film "The Robe." No Cleavage ,"No cleavage," Ross sighed. Ross and Hughes sued each plus re Come Fill Your Tank And Help the Rotana - By AUNE MOSiY Ueitod Press CerrassMdeet other. Before the suit came to trial, 20th Century Fox offered to back the movie and let Ross produce it. , . "I found myself devoting my life to this movie," he said. "It held me back for years." But this picture is needed more now than ever. There's very little else in the world to turn to now, if you don't have any feeling along this line.'
