Nixon - against Democratic charges that Nixon used smear tactics in the 1954 congressional cam paign. Mr. Eisenhower said Nixon is loyal and patriotic and that he admires .him. The President also told his news conference he is sure that Nixon nerer had challenged the loyalty of the entire Democratic party. I IL By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington -7-&J.R) President Eisenhower is firmly recorded as ennron Vice-President Rich ard M. Nixon's 1954 campaign tactics and feels now that informed Re- p u blicans should defend them against Democratic charges - of a smear.,;. Mr. Eisen i Lyle C. Wilson howe r's ' en dcrsement was in a campaign wind-up letter to the vice-president expressing admiration "for . done since the opening of the present campaign." The Presi dent's feeling that other .Republi cans familiar with Nixon s cam paign tactics should rise in their defense has been expressed pri vately since Speaker Sam Ray- burn and numerous other Demo crats started a hot fire as the 84th Congress convened. Tl I 1 J. 1 if A. 'KTl . xt is uiiuersiuuu iiiai, lxixon in tends to - leave his defense to others unless their efforts prove inadequate. In that event, Nixon probably would utilize his high station in government to seize the attention to that which dra- aj ha a i - mancaiiy mierrupiea . ms cam paign for election back in 1952. Refers To 'Dog Speech That "was the occasion when the Republican vice-presidential nominee, supported by Mrs. Nix on and the Nixon's dog, Check ers, made a TV reply to inquiries about the source and use of his funds. Meantime, the defense of Nixon has begun with a Senate speech by Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.) and a sharp statement by Republican National Committee Chairman Leonard W. Kali. To some of Nixon's associates the present Democratic attack looks like a double barreled pro gram: ' ' V 1. To rlisWpHit' rim nf the twrT men who sought to make the most effective campaign use of the charge that Democrats in of fice had been soft on Communism. 2. To damage Mr. Eisenhower's political prestige by discrediting a" close associate who has the President's publicly avowed con fidence. Another McCarthy Case Some observers suggest that the campaign against Nixon is a natural supplement to the suc cessful strategy which laid low Wisconsin's Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy. The methods of McCar thy and of Nixon were decidedly different and the senator zoomed in and out of areas never ap proached by the vice-president. But they were the pair who had been counted on by a substantial element of the Republican high command to raise most effective ly during the 1954 campaign the soft - on - Communism ; charge which so enraged and in some areas so hurt. the. Democrats, ;; : - It is one down arid one to go, as of now, McCarthy, having been so overwhelmed by a combined Republican-Democratic attack as to -be benched during the 1954 campaign. v , , y :j i'; : . 1 But the Democrats had notable support in the maneuvers which brought : McCarthy down: The Republican party was badly split on that Nixon may riot be be loved by all Senate Republicans, but it is not remotely likely that any. of them openly would join the Democrats in any campaign to knock him out. : Aline Mosby : Adult Evening Class Registration Filled f Registration for the second semester of adult evening classes of the Medford city schools has been completed, it was . an councea toaay. au courses of fered have been filled with the exception of two, and will be : : i. i i i j it was stated.

"When I get my nerve, Til try to do it again." officers quoted him. "I'm a rat and a spy ana i want to me! - Brown, former executive sec retary of the Los Arieeles chan ter of the left wing Civil Rights congress, was reported missing Jan. 3 .by his wife, Sylvia, but turned up unharmed Jan. 0.

He. also alleged "he was an undercover agent for the FBI and he blamed shame over be ing "a stool pigeon" for causing him to disappear and invent the kidnap hoax. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY ' United Press Correspondent Hollywood U.R) Holly wood's newest "Cinderella" is a local theater play written by a : " : ; Texas drama coach that is neaaea for a first-class Broadway opening. . -For 15 years, Baruch Lumet toyed with drama tizing incidents of Jewish : f o 1 k lore of his na t i v e Poland. Finally he fashioned them into a play, "Once Upon a Taylor," that has been running in the tiny Circle Theater here for 6- weeks. Hollywood traditionally does not shine as a theater town. But the play was such a success it will be produced on Broadway in eight weeks by Circle Theater manager George Boroff and ty coon Roger Stevens, who has presented such hits as "Ondine" and "Tea, and Sympathy", in New, York. ," No Compliments . - ' T, "When the play opened at the Circle nobody complimented me on it ' they were too busy want ing to invest money in it," Bo roff said. v.--:y-; .y:--,'-f:r "Mr.- Stevens, however, want ed to arrange the financial back ing himself. My Hollywood friends were upset because 1 couldn't take their money. It's an odd thing to say, but money to produce this play never has been a problem." ; Author Lumet is a quiet, be spectacled fellow who operates a drama institute in Dallas. Dur ing his many years as an actor, he created a character called "Frenzel" for one-man shows, and his new play is built around that character. - '"Once Upon a Taylor" also stems from a radio show he once did in Brooklyn,, and from his Yiddish play, "The Jester," that ran . off Broadway , many years ago. 'There is no reason why this play can't be done in a class way," the writer explained. "It is not like - The - Goldbergs' or those other comical cliches. v-"It is representative folklore, the type I have performed and lectured about at universities. It has universal appeal. ' We hope Tfaelma Hitter will do the play." Lumet's other claim to fame is that he is the father-in-law of shapely film beauty, Rita, Gam. His son, Sidney Lumet, is a top New York "television director. "Yes, I am pleased about hav ing a play on Broadway for the first time," the elder Lumet said cautiously. "But I won't believe it until I see it." n FOLIO ptBST TWO MAJOR B1BMJC3 CP LAST JAMJAR?
