EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June 2, 1955 Nixon Sees Big 4 Meeting as Last Chance for Peace Chicago (U.R) Vice- Presi dent Richard M. Nixon said to day the coming Big Four con ference may be the world's "last chance" to avoid a "catastrophic war." Nixon said the meeting may provide an answer to whether the Communists still want to ""conquer the world" or whether they have "changed their ways." World's Last Chance "This conference could be the world's last chance to settle dif ferences peacefully and avoid a catastrophic war," he said. "The question it may answer is whether negotiated peace is possible, or whether the danger of nuclear war is to hang over us for generations to come." Nixon said in remarks pre pared for delivery at the con vention of Rotary International that there is "no question" about the "desire and intent" of free world leaders for peace. "Let us hope that world public opinion will be sufficiently strong to force the men in the Kremlin to do likewise," he said Change of Tactics He warned that from past ex perience, "we must assume" that recent "conciliatory actions" of Communist leaders show a "change of tactics rather than a change of heart." "It is a standard Communist tactic to retreat at times for the purpose of being better able to move forward toward their an nounced ultimate goal and world domination," Nixon said. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pratf fmttmf Wriar Washington (U.R) When I went to work for the United Press many, many years back there was no thing in the ap plication that said I was honor bound to hold a jackass on my lap in a taxicab. But that's what happened when Press Club Jr., a fine little jackass, Human Nichol. arrived here at the express office. My friend, Gibs Sandefer, who in addition to being a fancier of fancy little burros is concert manager for the Navy and Air Force bands, asked would I give a hand. Gib volunteered to get a jun ior grade donkey, for free, for the National Press Club family picnic which will come off here Sunday. Not only that, he said he would furnish a tiny Mexican hand-tooled saddle for same. Something his foreman at Dead Horse Ranch in New Mexico makes when he isn't handling the Sandefer herd. A Lovely Boss Sandefer called his old pal, Dr. F. F. Schmidt, in Douglas, Ariz., who is known around the circles as "Jackass King of America." Schmidt agreed to send the animal. Gib called me and asked if I'd go to the express office and help him out with the burro. On the way, I asked him why he didn't name the burro after some member of the club. He said he had" talked it over with Mae Smith, the lovely and efficient lady who is the real boss of the club. "Some of our members are sensitive," Gib quoted Mrs. Smith. Anyway, we pulled up in front of the express office and Gib started to fiddle with the back end of the cab. My job was to run down a flight of steps and fetch up the reluctant jackass, which not only did not like steps, it didn't want to walk. So, 90 pounds had to be lug ged. No matter that I outweigh ed the little fellow by more than 100 lbs. Some Lucky Child Gib said he thought it would be fine to put Press Club Jr.'s crib in the back. Gib also said he would get in front with the driver and that I could cuddle the donkey in the back seat. That's what happened. Press Club Jr. turned out to be a wig gly little burro. All the way back from the express office it squirmed and otherwise acted up. As of now, P. C. Jr. is in his own little corral in the lobby of the 13th floor of the National Press Building, possibly look ing back in memory to the lovely desert and wishing for sand, all the while learning something, re luctantly, about the ways of big city life. Come Sunday, the burro will go to some youngster lucky enough to hold the right ticket for the Press Club picnic. If the kid is anti-donkey, he can turn Youths in Mailbox Bombings Due Probation Portland (U.R) Juvenile Judge Virgil Langtry indicated he would place on probation four teenaged youths after study ing three recent mailbox bomb ings to which they have confes sed.
