0 Washington (U.R) Demo
cratic National Chairman Paul
jt. Twiot- sid today the party's
1956 conven
tion will be
gin July 23. in
Chicago if no
changes are
made in cer
tain state elec
tion laws.
Butler said
that if certain
states dp
change their
Lyle C Wilson election laws
quickly to permit later conven
tions the Democratic conclave
will open on Aug. 13, 1956.
Butler made the , announce
ment as President Eisenhower
met here with Republican party
strategists to discuss the time
and place of the 1956 GOP con
vention at which it is likely he
oWill be nominated for a second
term.
"Butler suggested to Democrat
ic leaders in several states pos
' sible changes in their state elec
tion laws to permit later presi
dential nominating conventions.
State Laws Interfere
o An examination of state stat
"Q utes, he said, shows that several
(J states require certification of the
e presidential canddates anywhere
0 from 70 to 8 days before elec
ton day.
o For instance, Connecticut re
quires that candidates be certi
fied to election officers as early
" as Aug. 15. That would make
it impossible to hold conventions
after or near that date.
3 He announced that members
of the Democratic National Com
mittee in a mail poll had voted
to hold the 1956 convention in
0 Chicago as unanimously recom
mended by the site committee.
: Butler said that opening the
B Democratic convention on July
3 23 is the "latest possible date"
'? in view of the existing laws.
The Democratic National
Committee prefers a later con-
o vention date and a shorter cam
paign. Butler noted that the Re-
publicans also would prefer a
later convention and briefer
campaign. " , -
, o Mr. Eisenhower huddled with
5 the Republican leaders after re
turning from a week end at the
Thomasville, Ga., estate of Sec
retary of Treasury. George JH. I
Humphrey. He bagged two quail !
and a common cold. , :, '
GOP National . Chairman
Leonard W. Hall requested to
day's conference on 1956 pro-
cedure. The committee, will meet
here Thursday to discuss con
vention plans.
Lincoln Day Kickoff
Today's huddle is a natural
3 follow to the Lincoln Day kick
off of the draft-Eisenhower
movement in New York. The
evecutive committee of New
; York's National Republican club
called on the party Saturday to
s rally around the draft.
Atty. , Gen. Herbert Brown-
ell Jr. was principal speaker be
fore the club's 1,000 Lincoln
Day dinner guests and fell eas
ily into the pattern of recent
- eulogies of the President which
point toward a draft movement.
e There was dissent from Chi
cago where right' wing Republi
cans made Lincoln Day the oc
casion for a stop-Eisenhower
maneuver. Utah's Republican
Governor," J. Bracken Lee, spoke
at a lunch related to a series
of discussion meetings sponsored
bv Chicago Republican groups. .
TThe governor challenged Mr.
Eisenhower's party loyalty and
,- -suggested that right wing Re-
h publicans and Democrats, might
w need to get together to form
their own party if neither of the
older groups can find room" for
their , point of view.
. , Sen. Prescott Bush (R-Conn.)
said Sunday that he thought Mr.
Eisenhower would be renomin-
aiea ana elected m isoo, even
though right wing Republicans
sought to form a third party.
Sen. H. Alexander Smith. (R-
N.J.) also cast his lot with the
President. Smith said he also
favors the remonination of Vice-
President Richard M. Nixon.
e Sen. James H. Duff (R-Pa.)
also was among the week end
promoters of the Eisenhower-in-
1956 movement.
The President is keeping his
own counsel, explaining public
ly that he will cross the second
term bridge when he reaches it,
will lunch with Republican
National . , Committee members
next Thursday.

On The Side

tove is wonderful. With that
claim I am in complete agree
ment. I also concede marriage
has much to recommend it and
that everybody should try it at
least once. However, I have
grown weary of the domination
of the television screen by dram
as dealing with love and mar
riage. Therefore, I was greatly
entertained and refreshed by
viewing that television play
titled "Patterns."
It was a powerful play, pow
erfully acted. The love interest
was subordinated to a highly
dramatic clash of personalities.
The performance of Jack Live
sley in ."Patterns" was the best
I have seen on television so far.
Stupidity
A New York lawmaker pro
poses legalizing off - track horse
wagering to be handled by lic
ensed bookmakers. All taxes on
same ,to go. to the government.
There ; are seyeral stupid angles
to this proposal but one that
stands out like tan shoes on an
undertaker is it would so de
crease the mutuel machine wag
ering at the track that they
would be unable to operate. Big
bettors would patronize the
bookmakers so their wagers
would not, affect the mutuel
prices. That would deprive the
tracks of so much revenue they
would soon be far in the red.

Glidden Paint
Building Destroyed
Portland (U.R) A three-
alarm fire gutted the Glidden
Paint Company here last night,
causing damage in excess of
$100,000.
Five firemen were hurt by
flying glass. ,
Several hundred persons gath
ered while burning and explod
ing paint sent flames shooting
up and black clouds of smoke
rolling over the downtown area
a few blocks away.
Firemen f ough the blaze for
almost an hours with 12 pieces
of . equipment before it was
brought under control about 9
p.m. Fire officials said the blaze
was caused by defective wiring.
Fire Chief Edward Grenfell
estimated damage to the- three
story building alone at $100,000
and said further estimates would
have to come from the paint
company.
Nehru Confident
Of Formosa truce
London (U.R) Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said
today he is still confident diplo
macy can win a Formosa truce
and prevent the crisis from flar
ing into war. -
"The main reason for that hope
is the success of the Geneva
Conference last year which dealt
with problems at least as diffi
cult, if not more difficult, than
the present far eastern problems
and yet we found a way out,"
Nehru said.
He made the statement to re
porters shortly before his plane
took off for New Delhi from the
London Conference, of British
Commonwealth Prime Ministers.
He .planned a brief Paris stop
over for talks with former Pre
mier. Pierre "Mendes-France.

Draft Dodgers
Discussion of the sudden de
mise of a notorious draft dodger
of World War II brings to mind
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll and
the evaders of military service
during World War I. In that
war there were in the United
States 337,649 draft dodgers,
That was 11 per cent of the men
inducted into the service! Of
these, 163,738 were apprehend
ed. The rest escaped service,
The names of these draft dodg
ers or "slackers" were later pub
lished in the newspapers.
Among The Married
The husband, being the head
of the house, should have the
last word on how the family
income should be saved, invest
ed or spent. The "family in
come" includes any money earn
ed by the wife. Such is the op
inion of authorities on matri
mony. Is your wife a career wo
man? Does she turn her pay
check over like a good girl?
Mrs. Bob Waterfield, profession
ally known as Jane Russell,
does. The shapely screen siren
always gives her pay check to
her spouse to handle.' He gives
her an allowance. If she runs
over her allowance, Jane says
her husband punishes her. But
she doesn't say how.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
would you say was the greatest
single defeat ever experienced
by the United States Army? A.
That would be the battle known
as Custer's Last Stand. The de
feat of the United States Army
forces at Little Big Horn admin
istered by Sitting Bull: and his
Sioux Indian followers. Q. Have
you a reader in Hell, Mich.? A.
Not that I know of. However,
I have one in Paradise, Calif. ,
Disappointed
Too many books announced
for publication never reach the
bookstalls; Michael Arlen said
he was going to write one titled
What Fun . Frenchmen' Have."
He never did. I was greatly dis
appointed. Then - a piano tuner
of New York .informed me Jie
was going to write a book titled
"What I Have Learned About
Women While; Tuning Pianos."
I certainly looked forward to
that. It was never written. I
often wonder what the fellow
really did "learn about women
while tuning pianos.
Passing By
Mike Todd. Veteran showman.
Mike's first stage : production
presented in Chicago was titled
"Bring on ' the Dames." Howev
er, the hit of tfie production was
not a dame. It was a penguin
billed as "Pete, the Personality
Penguin."

Do-lf-Yourself
Brings Warning
By Safety Experts
Chicago (U.R) The do-it-
yourself craze is fine if you
don't chop off a finger, the
safety experts warn.
According to social scientists
there are two basic urges be
hind the do-it-yourself predilec
tion for puttering.
One if the creative yen, and
the other is the desire to save
money and beat the high cost of
living.
Another factor is the flight to
the suburbs, where the typical
new homeowner builds himself
a work bench, if he never bailds
anything else.
: As a result of all this, indus
try sources report that the sale
of power tools has doubled in
the last two years.
Naturally, minor accidents
have mounted, and insurance
companies are showing some
concern'. One has. published a
booklet on "how to do it safely,
It offers these tips:
Keep Edges Sharp .
Power tools Stationary tools
should be securely mounted
Tools should be run only on
voltages specified. Portable
electric tools should be
grounded.
Clothing Wear snug-fitting,
short-sleeved clothes. Take off
your necktie, rings and watch.
Hand tools Keep cutting
edges sharp. A sharp tool is saf
er than a dull one.
' Blowtorches Don t use a
leaky torch. Fill the torch out of
doors if possible and don't spill
the fuel.
Saws Hold rip saw at a 60
degree angle, crosscut saws at a
45-degree angle.
Screwdrivers Never use one
on an objct held in the hand.
Wrenches Pull, don't push,
to avoid injuring your hand if
the wrench slips. '' :'
Know Limitations
Soldering Use tongs to hoid
the work you are soldering.
Painting Provide adequate
ventilation when using paint-
thinners or removers.
Ladders Place the feet of
the ladder one fourth of its
length from the wall. Always
keep at least one hand on the
ladder. On step-ladders, don't
climb higher than the second
step from the top.
Household appliances Plug
washing machines, dryers and
the like into wall sockets nev
er into overhead lighting out
lets.- ' " 'J - ' ;'
Power mowers- Don't adjust
a mower while the motor is run
ning. Don't , use an electric
mower on wet grass.
Finally, the experts advise,
face up to the fact that some
jobs are beyond your ability,
Leave intricate electrical wir
ing, furnace repairs and the like
to the professionals.
