Newspaper Page TextTWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. January 7. 1955 Pa rtisan Politics Beg i nn ing To Make Appea ranee Aro und Capital By LYLE C. WILSON : United Press Correspondent ; Washington U.R) Bitter po litical partisanship is beginning t ' crackle like storm lightning around the Capitol dome, and this har m o n y . session of the new 84th Congress is not yet a week old. - It has been limited, so far, mostly to an gry protests by. Lyle C Wilson Speaker Sam Rayburn (Tex.) and other Demo- campaign tactics. They specific- cally complain of Vice-Presi dent Richard M. Nixon and of President Eisenhower's endorse ment of Nixon's-campaign- ef forts. ..; But there Is more to-come. Some of it will -be within, the Republican party, too,, because Mr. "Eisenhower : took, the ball around the left end of the Re publican line when he addressed ' Thursday. Half a dozen Demq crats remarked on that, although It is not their intention to per mit a Republican President to get much if any credit for poli cies which they claim as their own. Compared io New Deal "It was a good Truman-Roose velt speech," said Rep. James W. Trimble (D.-Ark.). - ' The President announced to day that he is a candidate for reelection," said Rep. Francis E. Walter (D.-Pa.). : "It sounded like he is a candidate on both tickets." ' Sen. Warren G. . Magnuson (D.-Wash.) said: "He was adopt ing most of the features of the New Deal-and we're for that." "New Dealish," said House Democratic Leader John W. McConnack (Mass.). Sen. Richard B. Russell (D. Ga.) put his finger on an aspect of the message which will cause political strife money and the budget. Said Russell: "I was impressed by the over all ' similarity ' of - this message and those delivered by his two predecessors (Presidents Roosfr; velt and'.Tuman). ,; These new' services ! "which. - he - proposes, though' highly desirable would cost a great deal of money. ' In sum, they -would 'postpone the day when we could have a bal- sncecT budget." - v Will Mill DwM Wfrt ' Such, a message cannot fall to chill "right wing " Republicans, however piously ..they may com ment on it at .the moment of delivery. .And it. is a fact that the right wing has top Republi can position in the 84th Con gress.; House Republican Leader Joseph W, Martin Jr. (Mass.) was unhappy .in r . the last' Congress and probably will be more so. in Mr. Eisenhower's policies. . " D On the -Senate side, . the top Republicans, are Sen.; S t y 1 e $ Bridges N.H.y ; chairman: of . the Policy-, committee; . Sen. William leader; Sen. Eugene - Millikin (Colo.) chairman of the Republi can conference, and Sen. John W. Bricker (Ohio) chairman of the Committee on Committees. - These all are; more or less on the conservative side. Only Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R.-Mass.) party whip, is a 100 per cent Ike man. The nard political lact, how ever, is that the Democrats, led by Speaker Rayburn have less 1 I 1 r4 1 1 L W 1 1 Vrfll 111 W1UL11 LI I K-IIL Mr. Eisenhower down ,to ( size. npcf i inniiii'i mi ir i'iiiiiiiihiiic iiii his message were calculated to begin that orocess. Regardless of the way in which political pundits may view it, the Demo crats will assume that Mr. Eisen hower will be a candidate for reelection. Fear Ike's Popularity Many, perhaps most, Demo crats will agree that Mr. Eisen hower is a popular man today and is likely to be the best avail able. Republican vote getter, in 1956. Everything adds up to a political necessity for the Dem ocrats to cuff the political gla mor off the President if ' they can before the polls open one year from next November. This will be a good political trick if the Democrats' can per" f orm it. They have their trou bles and the left of center mes sage Mr. Eisenhower sent to Congress Thursday is one of them. How to cut the President down to size without -knocking down much of his domestic pro gram which many of them re gard as their own is one for the Democrats to figure out. Per haps the President has put them as well as conservative Repub licans on a spot. However it may work out, none of this adds up to much harmony at this session. Like Mark ;Twain's weather more people are' likely to talk about harmony than-are likely to do anything about it. . ; Director of -Manville Heisel has been named - chairman of the',, Red Cross fund drive to be conducted in March in the area not served by the United Medford Crusade, it was announced at a meeting of the Red Cross chapter's board of. directors yesterday. Heisel,. an attorney, . said he had much assistance from the Red Cross during his . military service m World War II, and feels that by working in the fund drive he would be partially ful filling his obligation to the or ganization. New Committee A newly -formed publicity committee, under the chairman ship of Seth Bullis, will assist in the fund drive, it . was an nounced. Bullis said "capable people have been appointed to the group, with members living in different sections of the coun ty. Their job is to represent the Red Cross in their own areas, to carrv out good nublicf relations activities, and in general to aid in a better understanding of Red Cross work. 7 v , v ? .

Cobb was baseball's great est batter. I would rate the great hitters as follows: 1, Cobb, 2, Hans Wagner, 3, Larry Lajoie, 4, Rogers Hornsby, 5, Babe Ruth. Incidentally, Ruth faced G rover Cleveland Alexander sixteen times in World Series games and got only one hit!

While as yet Peiping does not appear in a mood to relent ov,er the American ; spies question, there is little doubt that Chinese leaders are putting much store in the secretary general's visit to their capital as a way of relax ing world tension and narrowing the gulf, between the countries of East and West.
