AvereBD Marriman Carefully
Laying Campaign Foundation
By LYLE C. WILSON i the implication of his remarks
United Press Correspondent was that no further United States
Washington UJ.w Demo
cratic Gov. Averell Harriman of
New York is carefully laying the
foundation for what locks like
a campaign for the presidency
next year against whomsoever
the Republicans' put up. The gov
ernor is regarded widely as an
unannounced candidate.
His public speeches are reveal
ing. The latest before a fund-
raising dinner of New York's
United Jewish Appeal was tail
ored to make a campaign issue
of the Eisenhower administra
tion's treatment of Israel, the
Jewish state created after World
War II.
That speech followed by a
fortnight a frontal assault on the
administration's efforts to cope
with the problems of Red China,
Formosa and the danger that the
United States m a y be drawn
into another brushfire war in
that area which could spread
world-wide.
Ridicules Administration
Speaking last week in the city
which has the largest Jewish
population in the world, Harri
man said the Eisenhower ad
ministration was at serious fault
in its policies toward the prob
lems raised by conflicting Jew
ish and Arab interests in and
about Israel. The dispute, at
bottom, is whether and how soon
the United States shall make
more definite pledges to help
defend Israel against attack.
Specifically Harriman called
on Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles to proceed at once
with a bolstering of international
agreements upholding the sover
eign independence of Israel. He
held the United States party re
sponsible for what he said was
refusal of Israel' Arab neigh
bors to accept the fact that the
new Jewish state is there to stay.
The nub of Harriman's critic
ism was that the Eisenhower ad
ministration had not yet made
arrangements to include Israel
in the defense system of the
Middle East. Israel has been
pressing that issue with the State
Department for five months.
Dulles Cites Gaza
Dulles indicated in a March
15 news conference that alleged
Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip
and attack on Egyptians had
caused further delay in consider
ing new guarantees of Israel's
integrity in the form of binding
commitments that the United
States and Britain would go to
the defense of the Jewish state
if it were attacked. The Israeli
government has been pressing
for that.
The so-called Gaza incident on
Feb. 28, 1955, cost the lives of 38
Egyptians and eight Israelis. The
Egyptian-Israeli Mixed Armistice
Commission investigated and
held that Israel was to blame for
the killings.
The burden of Dulles news
conference statement was that
such incidents made rapid pro
gress toward a guarantee of
armed support of Israel more
difficult. He said he hope some
thing would develop soon. But
BUCKEYES SUPREME
Oxford, Ohio (U.R) Ohio
State's supremacy in collegiate
swimming was undisputed today
as the Buckeye-swimmers tuck
ed away their 30th team title in
the 17-year reign of Coach Mike
Peppe.
The Buckeyes' record includes
nine NCAA crowns, the latest
Saturday's standout perform
ance against 48 schools here at
Miami University, 11 Big Ten
titles and 10 AAU crowns.
commitment could be expected
until there was better assurance
of peace on the Isreal-Egyptian
front.
Harriman told his New York
audience that ne was concern
ed" by Dulles' policy statement.
"This would appear to be a
time for affirmative action," he
said, "that would contribute to
stability in an already explosive
situation."
Squirrel Stories Pop
Up Following Dispute
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UP White House Writer
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
All sorts of stories popped up
in the wake of the White House
squirrel crisis, many of them
possibly fictional and traceable
in some instances to the Demo
crats. Samples:
A cab driver vows he picked
up a fare who was carrying a
large and sturdy paper bag. Fare
said, "To the south grounds of
the White House and wait for
me." The cabbie stopped not far
from President Eisenhower's
putting green, the fare got out,
rushed to the iron fence and
dumped from the bag a collec
tion of very live squirrels that
bounded gleefully into the White
House grounds.
Or the one about an alleged
political plot wherein opponents
of the President plan to release
live moles near the putting green
at night.
This is a true one:
After the last news confer
ence, the President almost stum
bled on a squirrel as he was
crossing from the old State De
partment building back to the
White House.
The squirrel was running
across West Executive Avenue
and seemed to be heading
straight for Mr. Eisenhower.
Bushy tail looked up, saw the
human traffic in his way and
pulled to a fast stop to let the
President pass.
Puzzle: Why stories of Mr. Ei
senhower reducing his farm
pigeon population at Gettys
burg with a shotgun caused not
a ripple, while the deportation
of three squirrels to nearby
woods raised all sorts of cain.
A number of reporters want
ed to ask Mr. Eisenhower at his
last news conference about his
squirrels but they were admit
tedly reluctant to raise the sub
ject. They thought the President
would blast 'em right out of the
water.
It developed later that if ask
ed about the squirrel program,
he would have given the details
his press secretary released to
the public 48 hours later. As of
last Wednesday on news con
ference day, Mr. Eisenhower
wasn't angry at all about the
furor over his golf green and
the squirrels.
What with Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger of Oregon, a Demo
crat, trying to have the law on
the President for violating the
District of Columbia anti-trapping
ordinance, Mr. Eisenhower's
attitude next Wednesday just
might be a little bit different.

Legislature in 78th
Day; Schedule Light
Salem (U.R) Senators and
Representatives face a light
schedule as they return to work
today for the 78th day of the cur
rent session.
Just three bills and a resolu
tion are on the Senate calendar
, while the House faces 12 bills,
three of them originating in the
Senate.
Still to be faced is the com
plex tax program which a House
committee has been studying for
several weeks. Members must
decide how the state looming
S65.000.000 deficit for the 1955
57 biennium is to be licked.
Investigation should be com
pleted this week by the joint
ways and means committee of
the state public welfare commis
sion budget. Gov. Paul Patter
son reduced the welfare budget
from $74,000,000 to S69.000.000
and Sen. Gene Brown of Grants
. Pass has demanded that this and
other proposed state budgets be
slashed.
The welfare commission's
estimated expenditures for the
biennium are S65.000.000.
The salary subcommittee of
the ways and means committee
is expected to report out a salary
and wage program by Thursday.
No general increase appears in
sight for state workers, although
salaries of some workers may be
adjusted.
The ways and means building
committee has also slated a meet
ing this week to consider a S10.
500,000 board of control build
ing program and a $7,500,000
state board of higher education
program.
The major construction proj
ect is a proposed $14,000,000
mental hospital for the Portland
area. Rep. F. H. Dammasch's
bill, appropriating $3,000,000 for
the hospital, was tabled last
week, but Dammasch has report
ed he may try to have the bill
taken from the table today.
Optimistic lawmakers are pre
dicting the current session may
end the last week in April or the
first week in May. But just as
many predict the session will
last into the early part of June.

Little Girl, Hit by Auto
Gets Christmas in March
Paducah, Ky. (U.R) Christ
mas came Saturday, three
months late but more exciting
than ever, to a little girl with
the widest, shiniest, bluest eyes
that ever twinkled under a
Christmas tree.
Hit by Automobile
Christmas was late for seven-year-old
Gail Staley because last
Oct. 18 she was hit by an auto
mobile and for five months lay
in a coma, unable to move or
speak. There was doubt that she
ever would again.
About a week ago Gail began
to stir and speak in mono
syllables. Last Tuesday night,
suddenly, she asked "Where's
Santa Claus?" and she's been
chattering gaily ever since.
Thanksgiving Too
So Saturday was Christmas
for Gail and her parents, Mr. and
Mrs.' Clarence Staley. It's
Thanksgiving Day too, since the
Staleys were too busy to cele
brate that holiday last Novem
ber and had less reason to do
so than they did yesterday.
.Friday night, after Gail re
luctantly went to bed, a Christ
mas tree was decorated and sur
rounded with packages. One of
these, it's reliably reported, con
tained the big "walking doll"
she asked for almost as soon as
she regained consciousness.

Bright-Colored Cars
Popular, But Some
Sfiil Don't Like rEm
Detroit (U.R) If you don't
like those purple and orange and
mustard-yellow cars that are
coming out this year, don't feel
bad about it. You've got plenty
of company.
The public has gone for color
ed automobiles in a big way. But
in the gaudily colored car mar
ket of 1955, the more conven
tional shades still are making
the biggest impact.
Manufacturers report that
green is the favorite color for
automobiles. West of the Missis
sippi light green is the best sell
er. East of the Mississippi, med
ium green is No. 1 choice.
The loud oranges, reds,
purples and yellows don't show
up among the five top choices in
any part of the country.
Taste in auto colors seems to
follow regional tradition. In New
England, where people sup
posedly are more convential, the
more conventional colors are the
most popular. In the Far West
where flashy sports clothes are
the rage, flashier colors are seen
on the road.
Sales of 1955 automobiles so
far shows that in the Far West
the color choices are light green,
light blue, ivory, medium green
and biege, in that order. In
Texas, the Southwest and Mid
west west of the Mississippi the
preference is light green, med
ium green, light blue, ivory and
biege.
East of the Mississippi, black
jumps into the list. Preference
begins with medium green and
runs through black, gray, light
blue and medium blue.
Black is not quite so popular
in midwestern states east of the
Mississippi, where the selection
is medium green, light blue,
light green, dark blue id black.
In the south, the order is med
ium green, light green, light
blue, black and ivory.
