In a resolution offered as a compromise late Saturday by Doug Spencer, which was adopt ed unanimously, the group . re solved . that the Young Re-, publican Federation of Oregon recognizes that success of the Re publican party uul956 depends upon support, by Republicans at all levels, of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and his dynamic leadership. Measure Withdrawn Debate on another measure was held which said, in part, that it was felt the 1952 election showed that a victory by the GOP at that time "was solely an endorsement of the personality and platform of Eisenhower . . we therefore feel that one' of the contributing causes of the Re publican defeat this year was the - failure of some Republicans to loyally uphold the platform on which their party was elected. Be it resolved that it shall be the policy of this organization to up hold the liberal Republican prin ciples of President Eisenhower . . ." The unsuccessful resolution which was withdrawn was offer ed from the floor by Paul Kerri gan, a Reed college delegate. . Twelve resolutions were adopt ed as proposed by the resolu tions committee, except for cer tain wording changes. Regarding public power, the group resolved to endorse the co operation offered by the govern ment in development of public private power and recommended to the governor and legislature of Oregon that they "fully ex plore and exercise the legal power presently available for gram." Recommend Discussion Further, "Believing that the policies advocated by the oppos ing party, will, if adopted, bring on a power depression, deteri- . mental to the development of the Pacific Northwest, we further recommend that the executive board arrange public discussion by advocates of the various views' on their power policy for the furtherance of public under standing." A resolution was adopted ap plauding the Watkins committee "for the impartiality of its hear ings and the soundness of its findings." ; The last resolution on national affairs recommended the "re consideration and modification of the McCarran. act to provide for less stringent restriction on the admission of aliens to the United States in accordance with American traditions.' " . Three resolutions on interna tional affairs included "freer trade" as indispensible to the sound economic development of this nation and the world; adop; tion of. a program whereby the Japanese people "may reap the benefit of an atomic-electric, plant as a realization of ' the peaceful, productive benefit of the atom, and six foreign "achievements" of the Republi can administration were lauded, including solving the Trieste problem, peaceful resumption of Iran oil production, Anglo-Egyptian amity concerning the Suez canal administration, steps to ward readmisison . of Germany into, the family of nations, build ing the St. Lawrence seaway and "iKconmi' nt armprl conflict in the world for the first time in decades."

The curvy actress and the ex- baseball player made their first public appearance Saturday when he treated her to lazange and veal scallopini at Villa Ca pri, the Italian restaurant where the couple held hands on dates two years ago. Joe's brother, Dominic, also an ex-ball player, was in town and made the date a threesome. But when reconciliation ru mors flourished around Holly wood, Marilyn issued a state ment through her studio: "Joe and I are just friendly, that's all: There's nothing to it." Key West Pejfed By Heavy Rainfall Key West, Fla. (U.R) Dam age mounted above the $250,000 mark today from a week end soaking with 9.88 inches of rain fall. A freak black cloud, 20 miles wide, singled out this five-mile-square island and cascaded rain for nearly 24 hours Saturday and early ' yesterday. Nearly eight and one-half inches fell in one three-hour period. Streets, homes and stores were flooded. Service stations esti mated 50 to 80 per cent of the island's automobile population would need servicing because of water damage. Three telephone cables were knocked out. Water ran six to eight inches deep over the ground floors of scores of -v downtown business places. However, the Navy sub marine base and former Presi dent Harry S. Truman's "little White House" escaped damage. 'Thank you" resolutions were also passed for Winston Carl, Medford, and the Jackson Coun ty Young Republican club which Young GOP state federation as he heads, and to George Jones, established at the convention.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press 'Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) "Mister Roberts," one of Broadway's most successful plays, is nearly finished as a movie at Warner Bros., studio without those famous birth mark lines. The censors had to snip out the more salty language and situations from the play and novel about life Aline Mosbf aboard a Navy cargo ship. One casualty was when sailors, . peering through binoculars at nurses faking a shower, discovered one of the ladies had a birthmark. - "But the rest of the scene remains," said producer Leland Hayward today. "The movie fol lows the play very closely." It took "Mister Roberts" to get producer Hayward back in pictures after his years as a successful Broadway play-maker. No Films Since 1926 "I wanted to do the movie my self," he explained. "I've always loved the story, ever since I read the original story as a mag azine article." Hayward hasn't produced pic tures since "Harold Teen's" in 1926. but now he's in the movies to stay for a while. , His next' production will be "The Spirit of St. Louis," the story of Charles Lindbergh's flight, and Truman Sees No Magic To Keep World Free Lexington, Mo. U.R) For mer President Harry S. Truman told a crowd of more than 2000 persons yesterday that there is "no magic or quick solution" to maintaining a free world. "If we are to succeed in main taining a free world, we must have steady nerves and stout hearts. There is no other way," Mr. Truman said. He spoke at Founders' Day activities at Wentworth Military academy. Wrist Watch Industry Hopes Alarm Will Get Favorable Reaction of Buying Public By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The alarm watch that went off on President Eisenhower's wrist at his press conference this week will ring around the world, watch makers hoped today. They hope it will do for the alarm wrist watch what Mr. Eis enhower did for the homburg hat at his inauguration. The watch makers believe that the Presi dent's alarm watch which went off five minutes late and broke up a sentence at his press con ference may wake , up a lot of buyers. . Actually the alarm wrist watch business is a buzzing one already. ' Thousands of American males are walking alarm clocks these days, though it is a recent de velopment in watch manufac turing. None for Women Women have escaped this posi tive reminder that they're late so far, since their wrist watches are too small to hold an adequate alarm, When somebody makes news by having his wrist watch buzz loudly at an embarrassing time, as the President's did, then it boosts sales among men not yet aware that they can buy such a thing as a wrist alarm. "Originally the wrist alarm was designed for busy execu tives," a spokesman for the Bulova Watch Co. explained. "But like all devices designed for the few, it started to be ad mired by the man on the street He, in turn, began to use it for very humdrum things. "I'm a man on the street my self," the spokesman continued. "I wear one set for 5:28 inthe morning. It wakes me up with out waking up my wife. This is a far cry from making airplanes or timing chemical formulas. But if s handy." ' A Swiss watch manufacturer OCCUPYING favored seat among 13,909 fans who packed Boston Garden to see Liberace play, Charlene Hartley, 29, tells reporters she dated pianist in Boston and that they're renew ing friendship begun in Chi-' cago last year. (International) claims to have brought the first wrist alarm to this country seven years ago. For years before this watchmakers had tried to get an alarm in a small enough case for the wrist. ,-V. : -. "Our engineer had givenup," Bernard Lippman, president of the Vulcane Watch Co., recalled. "Then one day he was walking through a meadow in Switzer land and heard a cricket. He said to himself that if . such a small insect could make such a big noise, then he should be able to create a noise In a wrist watch." The company named the re sulting watch the Cricket. Its buzzing sound is reminiscent of the insect's buzz. Dairy Queen SPECIAL! . HARD PACK .. QUARTS and PINTS Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, . Raspberry 2 Qts.

Hay ward hopes to launch a talent search for a "tall, slender, blond" to portray Lindbergh. Meanwhile, the graying, hand some producer stands on the "Mister Roberts" set every day to watch closely the filming, an unusual sight because most pro ducers stay in their offices. Lots of Trouble The film has had more than its share of troubles. Henry J Fonda burned his face under a sun lamp while trying to keep the tan he acquired on the Hono lulu location. Director Ford was rushed X o the hospital, and Mervyri' LeRoy was called in to finish the picture. For the scenes I watched, however, pro ducer Hayward and Fonda, hav ing loved the story for seven years, did as much directing as LeRoy. While the prop man sprayed sweat ' water m the sailors' shirts, director LeRoy left the camera to say he was sure au diences couldn't tell where Ford left off and he began. "But it was tough," he said. "It's as if somebody wrote half a story and you were called in to finish it. You wonder where you are and what you do next, "I was telephoned at midnight to do the picture. I read scripts until 4 and was on the set at 7:30.
