raft JEisenKower Movement Growing; Operators Claimed Less Than Contented By LYLE C. WILSON United Prtsi Correspondent Washington (U.R) The draft Eisenhower movement is moving ainn t)iop1v today but its oper ators are some thing consider ably less than contented. Some of them are fearful that even if the President runs and wins again in 1956, he may not bring a Republican Congress back They call Mr. w -J? Lyle C Wilson to Washington. Eisenhower by far the strongest candidate the Republican Party could nominate. There seems to be no double talk in the confidence expressed by many Republicans here that the President could defeat any Democratic presidential nominee presently in sight. That includes, of course. Gov. Averell Harri man of New York. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, Adlai E. Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic nominee, and the numerous field. Television Appeal Counts There is no doubt whatsoever that Mr. Eisenhower will be nom inated unless he takes, himself out of the contest in words of ona syllable. Republican National Committee Chairman Leonard W. Hall touched on the party anxiety Tuesday in a talk before an assembly of Republican wom en leaders. His remarks boiled down to this: The GOP must come up with better congres sional candidates capable of modern television campaigning if they are to oust Democrats from congresional control. Hall Thought Convinced It has appeared here for some time that Hall was convinced Mr. Eisenhower would run again. The chairman has been devoting his own political skill to the problem of returning a Repub lican Congress. The . President scorned a recent news confer ence suggestion that his prefer ence for a late national nominat ing convention and a 6hort cam paign was a solid hint that he would be the party's 1956 candi date. 'Bosh," said the President. But it will take more than bosh to conceal the facts of Republi can strategy. A late convention and a short campaign are tai lored to measure for a renomi nated president. President 'Best Advertised After four years in the White House, a president is the best "ad vertised man in the nation. Hp has a guaranteed attentive TV," radio and newspaper audience. A new man needs an earlier con vention and a longer campaign to put across to the voters his charm, personality, policies and vote appeal. Those are the facts and they were well established by Franklin D. Roosevelt who always sought a short campaign as his stature in the nation grew and his Republican opponents Crowds Appear as Pope Observes 79fh Birthday Vatican City (U.R) Pope Pius XII made a three-minute appearance at his studio win dow overlooking St. Peter's Square today on his 79th birth day and the 16th anniversary of his election as head of the Ro man Catholic Church. About 8000 pilgrims below, including many from the United States, filled the square with shouts of "Viva II Papa" when the white-robed figure appeared. Looks Frail, Voice Strong The Pontiff looked frail as he raised his arms in his familiar gesture that seemed to embrace all who saw him. But his voice was strong and vibrant when he spoke the papel benediction. An unprecedented number of messages arrived at the Vatican from all over the world. Three months ago today when the Pontiff suffered his near fatal collapse hardly anyone be lieved that he could live to cele brate today's ' double anniver sary. Now he is in better health than he has been in more than a year. But he is suffering from pain ful rheumatism in his right shoulder, sources close to him said. Doctors started infrared treatments for this on Saturday, they added. Twitch in Eye The sources said the Pope also has developed a slight twitch of the right eye. They said this was apparently linked with the rheumatic complaint. Pageantry in connection with the Pope's double anniversary is traditionally reserved for March 2, the anniversary of his coronation as Pope. Pope Pius hopes to attend the ceremony this year in the Sistine Chapel. President Grover Cleveland rejected an appeal in 1893 to have Hawaii annexed to the Un ited States. sent relatively unknown oppon ents at him. When Hall proposed and Mr. Eisenhower agreed to the late convention and short campaign, they either were aware of those facts or they were unbelievably ignorant of some of the funda mentals of presidential politics, which isn't likely. The forces that brought about Mr. Eisenhower's nomination in 1952 are moving again. Exam ples: The plug by New York Re publican State Chairman L. Jud son Morehouse for 1956 renomi nation of the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. Former Speaker Joseph W. Martin's repeated endorse ment of Eisenhower for '56. Former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, is a mere lawyer now, but he is also a smart politician. Dewey has been at the White House telling the President face to face that it is up to him to head the party ticket again in 1956.

(U.R) Frank T. Glaser, one of the largest seed producers in the state, was free on $2,000 bail after his arrest yesterday on charge j of mis branding perennial rye grass seed. Glaser, of Tangent, was for mally charged with attempting to obtain money under false pre by a Linn County Circuit Court grand jury-Monday, tenses. He was indicted secretly Glaser is accused of having delivered to the seed firm of Northrup & King some 1866 bags of perennial rye grass seed tagged to indicate that it con tained less than five per cent by weigh of common seed. The indictment asserted that the seed, instead, was substand ard. Glaser, it was asserted, had "unlawfully, feloniously and willfully" intended to defraud the buyer. F. E. Price, director of the Oregon State College experi ment station, said the alleged violation was the first of its kind in the history of the state's cer tification program. The seed lot involved, some 186,000 pounds, would have brought Glaser about $37,000. Thank You... For Your Patronage This is the First Anniversary of my little Corset Corner at Bert Pree's Fashions.

Main Street veto a pending tax measure if Democrats succeed in keeping a $20-a-person income tax cut in it. The New Hampshire Republi can, who is chairman of the Sen ate GOP Policy Committe, join ed other key senators in pre dicting the Senate will reject the $20 reduction already approved by the House. But Democrats might put it back later in a House-Senate conference committee. And the Senate might go along then to duck any responsibility for a $2,800,000,000 drop in corpora tion income taxes and certain excise taxes on April 1. Rejected by Committee House Democrats last week put the $20 cut for each taxpay er and each dependent in an ad ministration measure calling for a one-year extension of the cor poration and excise taxes at persent rates. Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D- Va.) and Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) joined the seven Repub licans on the Senate Finance Committee Tuedsay to vote 9 to 6 against the income tax reduc tion. All six members voting for it were Democrats. The Senate has 49 Democrats and 47 Republicans. The Senate is scheduled to take up the tax measure Friday or early next week. ! The proposed income tax cut would result in a loss of revenue? to the treasury of about $2,300, 000,000. But the loss would be only about $80,000,000 in fiscal 1956 beginning next Julyl if the tax reduction became effec tive next Jan. 1. Democrats Promise Fight Despite the Finance Commit tee action Democratic supporters of the $20 reduction promised a vigorous fight for it on the Sen ate floor. "The effort to obtain some re lief for low income taxpayers will be carried to the Senate floor and pushed as vigorously as possible," Acting Democratic Senate Leader Earle C. Clem ents (Ky.) said. He said he couldn't undern stand the administration's,, op position. "I think a tax relief 'bill for people in the lower income brackets is justified as a shot in the arm for our economy," h said.
