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.

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.

club, were being used as evi

On The Side
(Distributed by King
A woman in her 30s married
to a man of Danish birth or des
cent is the most likely to give
birth to twins. 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.

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.

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.
