O e SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, September 20, ISS3 Republicans, Democrats Clash Over Eisenhower's Future in White House GOP Basing Plans On Assumption of Ike-Nixon Ticket Chicago U.R) The top brass of the Republican and Demo e cratic parties, both meeting in Chicago today, have clashed headon over whether President Eisenhower will run again for the White House. GOP National Chairman Leon ard Hall said he is basing all his campaign plans on the as sumption that it will be "Ike and Nixon" for the Republicans in 1956. But Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler, hold ing a simultaneous news con ference late yesterday, doubted whether the President wants a second term. Match Prediction! "I don't believe he is happy as president," Butler said. "He doesn't appear to be enjoying the responsibility of his office." Hall and Butler matched pre dictions as laders of both parties met to plan their 1946 presiden tial conventions. The Democrats also gathered together 15 party farm experts, including two former agricul ture secretaries, to lay the groundwork for what they hope will be a potent farm policy plank next year. Hall predicted Mr. Eisenhower will announce his 1956 plans "pretty well" before the GOP convention at San Francisco. " Referring to the President, Hall said "We're going to have the most popular candidate in history at our convention. We've got the climate for victory peace and prosperity." Family Consideration Butler retorted "If I were in Mr. Hall's shoes I would be very unhappy if I didn't think he (Mr. Eisenhower) would be a caKlidate." He added that "those family considerations that I got hell for mentioning a while ago" would also play a part in making the presidency less attractive to Mr. Eisenhower. . Butler referred to his state ment last March that Mrs. Eis enhower's health might be a de ciding factor in her husband's political plans. Republicans ac cused Butler at the time of re sorting to smear tactics. The Democratic leader went on to attack the President for "probably spending less time at the job of President than any other President in the 20th cen tury." Argue Over Farmers Mr. Eisenhower is more inter ested in helping "his big business friends than the nation's farm ers, Butler charged, and his ad ministration has followed t "callous" and "unsympathetic" farm policy. Claude R. Wickard, former secretary of agriculture and chairman of the Democrats' Farm Advisory Committee, back ed up Butler by warning that American farmers are heading for a depression. Hah, snapping back at Butler, said the Democratic leader "talks a lot and 'does nothing." The farm price drop was caus ed by a Democratic law and two-thirds of the slump occurred in the Truman administration Hall said. He defended Vice-President Richard M. Nixon as' "one of our best campaigners and fight ers and said the issue of Sen . Joseph R. McCarthy "is so far back that you almost never hear of it." r i Jury Selected for Mississippi Trial Sumner, Miss. (U.R) A 12- man jury composed of 10 farm ers, an insurance salesman ana a laborer was selected today to try two white half-brothers for the "wolf whistle" slaying of a Chicago Negro. As the testimony phase of the trial for half brothers Roy Bry ant, 24, and J. W. Milam, 36, opened, two important visitors arrived in the crowded . court room. First to arrive was Mrs. Ma mie Bradley, the grieving moth er of Emmett Till, 14-year-old Negro boy whose body was fish ed out of a river with a heavy weight attached to the neck. Bryant and Milam were accused of killing young Till for whist ling at Bryant's attractive young wife, a spectator at the dramatic proceedings. Rep. Carl C. Diggs, (D-Mich.), a Negro congessman, sent his card to the presiding judge and was ushered to the Negro press table, segregated from other reporters.

The Army's Procurement In formation Center is the agency whose main job is to eliminate the "mystery from doing busi ness with the military," the Army announced. Since the center's organiza tion in 1949, they have answered 30,000 queries about contracts. The vast scope of military pur chases makes it difficult for busi nessmen to " locate the proper source of a particular govern ment contract, the Army said. So the PIC was born to provide a central source to which all businessmen could apply and re ceive at no cost information on government contracts. Lt. Col. Robert E. Covington, present chief of the center, said: , ''The PIC offers a service of value both to private business and to the Army. The more man ufacturers aware of the govern ment's interest in competitive bidding, the more the Army stands to save on contracts. We welcome inquiries." Which Office? Covington operates with a staff of six civilians. They also pro vide similar information for the Air Force. However, there are more than 630 Army and Air Force pur chasing offices in the country handling different types of bids. The main problem for a business man is tofind out which office he should contact, the Army said. The PIC furnishes by mail the location of the purchasing of fice for , the type of goods a manufacturer offers. The center maintains a display of all unclassified "invitations to bid." Because of the vast num bers of these, this particular in formation is not disseminated by mail. ' Each broad category of sup plies is assigned to a contracting office of the branch of service with primary responsibility. There all purchases are formally advertised, the Army said. 4" Inquiries should be directed to: The Procurement Informa tion Center, Room 732, Old Post Office Building, Washington 25, D. C.
