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

Cross fund drive to be conducted

A proposal that "the chambers
of Klamath Falls, Medford, Ash
land, Grants Pass and Cave
Junction conduct a workshop
here Jan. 30 was discussed, but
the board ' members decided to
postpone the date of the gather

Horses and Women -
Measurements of average
American female are height, : 5
feet 3; weight, 133; bust, 35V;
waist, 29, and hips, 38. That 29
inch waist and 38 inch hips
show why the corset and girdle
business is so good in this coun
try. For a properly streamlined
figure, a woman should have a
24 inch waist and 35 inch hips.
Asking - , ; '-' ' " -;
Queries from clients. Q. Is the
Ward Eight cocktail named after
a political subdivision . of New
York or Boston? A. The potent
concoction you refer to is named
in honor of Ward Eight, Boston.
Was originated in Locke Obers
restaurant in that city. Q. Dp you
think the influence of television
should be viewed : with alarm7
A. I didn't think so until the
other day. I saw a young fellow
with his hair cut and arranged
like that of Liberace. ,.
Maternal Ages y ' '.'r:j.
How old was your mother at
the time of your birth? The rec
ord reveal : that the youngest
mothers produce the longest liv
ed children. So, if your mother
was 21 or younger when you
were born, your chances of liv
ing to a ripe, old age are good.
You may even live long enough
to see the Dodgers win , a World
Series. As usual, I don't get any
break from the .. experts. -My
mother was 31 when I was born.
Sidelights .
. Tokyo has several race courses
where pari-mutuel wagering is
featured. Japanese i professional
touts'or tipsters refer to them
selves as "race horse research
ers" . . . Youngest enlisted man
in -: the history ; of the United
States Army was John Clem,
'.The Drummer Boy of Shiloh."
He was a drummer at 10 and a
sergeant at 12. If there has ever
been a film based on Clem's
life, I missed it.
Get It Right
J-i Note "Babe? Ruth referred to
as "the greatest hitter in Major
League baseball history." Non
sense! 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! Grover really
fortunate at the outset of import
ant conversations requiring - the
fullest good will and understanding..-;,;:
V;-;.
; Nevertheless Hammarskjold
got a cordial reception which
was evident at the cocktail party
and dinner last night. .
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.
FLOWERY DUMP
Mansfield, O. - U.R) Next
year this city may have one of
the fanciest garbage dumps; in
the country. Mr. and. Mrs. C. L.
Swank claim that garbage col
lectors made off with a basket
filled with assorted flower bulbs,
and Mayor Robert S. Lemley or
dered an immediate search of
the dump. Some were recovered,
but the Swanks said most of
them are still missing. ; '
MOTHER & SONS, INC. '
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Lots of
mothers feel left out because
they can't do things with their
sons, but not Mrs. Frances Crain.
She wanted to share in the
things her sons, Mike, 12 and
Desi, 11, enjoyed, so she set up
a wood workshop at home. Moth
