TRIBUKE Thursday, September 29, 19SS Ike Expected To Reveal Political Plans Much Earlier Than Was Ixpectei ' -4 Announcement May Be Made Before End of December By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The word here and from Denver is that President will reveal his 1956 political plans much sooner than was like ly before he became ill, probably be fore Christ mas. The advice of his political associates and and hie own LtIa C. Wilson i n c 1 i nations long had centered on an early March announcement. Mr. Eis enhower's political friends were strongly confident that he would announce willingness to accept renomination. They are not confident now. There is a good chance that the contest for next year's Repub lican presidential nomination w will become a free-for-all poli tical brawl damaging to the party's election prospects, assum ing that Mr. Eisenhower is out of it. No Natural Successors Sen. Robert A. Taft was the acknowledged leader of one large division of the Republican party. He is dead. Mr. Eisen hower was the hand-picked lead er of the other division of ' the party. A comparatively leader less party can work itself into a dreadful tangle. It- is a wide open contest, therefore, as of now. Mr. Eis enhower can bring his prestige to bear in favor of his own choice of a 1956 presidential nominee only if he soon takes himself out of the running and gotsj all out to put his man over. It remains to.be seen whether the President can dictate the party choice. There is some doubt, even, that he will seek to do so. But presidents usually want to pick their successors. But he still must take him self out earlier than planned, if he intends to retire, merely to be fair to the votersQand to Re publican hopefuls, even though he may not wish to choose among them. Presidential primaries are com ing up, the first on March 1 in New Hampshire, followed by Minnesota March 20; Wisconsin April 3; Illinois April 10; New Jersey April 17; Massachusetts April 24. Upward of a dozen others extend through May and Into June. Entitled to Chance If Mr. Eisenhower retires and has no favorite, all hands are entitled to an equal chance at the primary gauntlet. The vot ers are entitled to maximum op portunity to observe the various hopefuls under pre-convention campaign fire. If Mr. Eisenhower has a favor ite, he will have to hustle him into some key primary contests not only to ward off poachers but to put his man on show. The primaries are important. They can be deadly to a loser. Taft's 1952 drive for the Re publican presidential nomination was wounded, probably fatally, by New Hampshire and New Jersey primary reverses. A lone Wisconsin primary shattered the late Wendell L. Willkie's dream of obtaining Republican renom ination in 1944. STANDING IN stairway of house at Grossinger, N.

(International) OLCC Revenue Up; Sales Decrease Portland Net revenue of the Oregon liquor control commis sion for fiscal year-1954-55 was 1.59 per cent higher than the previous year, despite declines in liquor sales and license tax collections. Scfrne $13,393,248 was netted by the commission. Some 846, 374 cases of liquor were pur chased. The total was $155,974 and 5,913 fewer cases than was sold the previous year. License fee income totaling $608,368 was less than one per cent less ' than last year, and privilege tax revenue of '$1,1 63, 802 was 1.53 per cent lower than the previous year. The latter de crease is partly due to decline in malt beverage consumption. The corn'mission issued 294,897 purchaser's permits for fiscal year endmg June 30, 19o5, which is 1,700 fewer than issued the previous year. IN EVIDENCE Greenwich, Conn.

After that a woman in the same age group who has a Swedish husband is most likely to have a double feature blessed event. That's what I note claimed. I will not accept this claim until I have completely checked. It has al ways been my understanding that the woman most likely to have twins is one in her 30s who is married to a man of Irish birth or descent. Schools There is an astonishing va riety of schools in this fair land of ours. As for example, consid er that in Las Vegas, Nev., there is a school tor zx dealers. Westerner informs me he took the course and is now employed at a Las Vegas casino. He adds: "The 21 game at our place is strictly on the level from the house standpoint. However, a dealer has to watch that the cus tomers don't cheat him." Asking Queries from clients. Q. On what race in England did "Bet a Million" Gates win over a quar ter of million dollars from the British bookies?. A. Was the Stewards Cup at Goodwood. Won by Royal Flush owned by Gates, ridden by Johnny Reiff, trained by Enich Wishard ... Q. In what portrait by Thomas Gains borough can be seen the so called "Gainsborough hat" pop ularized by Lillian Russell? A. The piece of millinery you men tion is depicted in Gainsbor ough s portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire. Sidelights "All right, now that it has been settled there was a song about a girl named Linda," writes a young woman of Manhattan, "how about a girl named Ruth?" Answer is that long . ago there was a hit song titled, "Along Came Ruth" ... It was none other than Oliver Herford who defined a kiss as "A course of procedure cunningly devised for the mutual stoppage of speech at a moment when words are superflous." Horses And Women At what age should a woman who has never married be re ferred to as a "spinster?" That question is constantly discussed. Some say that at 25 a bachelor ette becomes a spinster. Com menting on this a subscriber states hearing the word spin- ter" makes her shudder. She is 24 and not married. "I feel as if I am on the last mile," she says sadly. I believe too many women in their 20s take the matter of being called an "old maid" or "a spinster" too seriously. That's why so many women of 25 or thereabouts make unhappy mar riages. They will marry most anybody to avoid being called an old maid. Complaint You. make me so mad the way you ignore reporting what the stargazers say about us Cap ricorn women that I just could enjoy slapping your face," writes a Brooklynite. This young wom an's attitute is quite interesting, as the stargazers say that Capri corn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) women can be very aggressive and are inclined to quarrel about trivial things. However, I don't care to add to the already alarming num ber of women who want to slap my face, so I will report further on the Capricorn girls in an early issue. By E. V. Durling Futures Syndicate.

Copco Assures Preferential Water Rights in Klamath River Marine Jet Fighter Crashes in Japan - Tokyo OJ.R) A U.S. Mar ine F3D jet night fighter crashed into the hills outside of Yoko hama today, killing its pilot and radar operator, the Marines an nounced. Marine Air Group II said cause of the crash was unknown. Japanese reports said the plane exploded in air and crashed into the hills, setting fire to the woods. I Names of the . victims . were withheld. I Sacramento, Calif. U.R) Land owners in the Upper Klam ath Basin had qualified assur ance today from the California Oregon Power Company it would grant preferential water rights for non-federal develop ments. ' John C. Boyle, Copco vice president and general manager, told members of the California and Oregon Klamath River Com missions the assurances would be given to them and the two state engineers "as a matter of public record." Reads Draft of Letter He read to the commissions a draft of a letter he said would be sent to them. On condition that pending op position is withdrawn," the draft said, "Copco is willing to agree that for the term of its contract no Klamath water shall be used by Copco when it is needed or required for domestic, municipal or irrigation purposes in the Up per Klamath Basin provided thai nothing shall curtail the water rights of Copco having a prior ity earlier than May 19, 1955, and provided that all drainage water flows be returned to the river above Keno." Boyle, however was adamant in his refusal to incorporate the provision in a pending contract with the Bureau of Reclamation which would renew the power company's control of the Link River Dam and Upper Klamath Lake. The provision closely paral- Washington (U.R) John Jay Hopkins, president and board chairman of General Dy namics Corp., Wednesday night was named "industrialist of the year" by the Society of Indus trial Realtors. leled the provision which the two- commissions had asked Copco and the bureau to insert in the contract. "I think this will go a long way toward satisfying the ob jections of the commissions and the water users," said Nelson Reed, chairman of the Oregon commission. He 'said, however, he would not agree to okay the entire contract without further consultations. Bert D. Phillips, chairman of the California commission, said he was "very pleased" with the company's action. He asked fur ther conferences to iron out other features of the contract. He said he particularly wanted assurances the company would construct afterbay storage at the same time it builds itiTCopco Big Bend No.. 2 plant. The contract clears the way for its construction.
