0 SIX MECFORD (OSEGO&) WZZL fiT9tHtt niy, Ociobsr 31. 1955 Knowland Stiggesils President Announce Political Flan Soon Washington- (U.PJ Senate Rs- Willisim . i . publican Leader Knowland suggested today thj.t President Eisenhower Qh o u 1 decide against seeking reelection because of his heart attach, Knowland believes that the GOP should be given plenty of time to look over available candi dates before the San Francisco convention next August. The California senator, who is regarded as a posjible contender if Mr. Eisenhower bows out, still declined to discuss whether he might seek the nomination. " Until the President gets out of the hospital and discloses his plaia," he told rfporters "I con sider any discussion of individ ual candidacies premature." Presidential Primaries Loom Knowland did make clear that he thinks any retirement an nouncement from Mr.' Eisenhow er should come by late fall or early winter. The deadlines for candidates to enter presidential primaries in some of the states come early in February. If . Mr. Eisenhower should withdraw, Knowland's home state may provide much pulling and hauling ,because it is also -the home-of Vice-President Htch cfrd M. ?f ixon, another possible -contendef.-Gov.. Goodwin J. Knight and Chief Justice Earl Warren. On the other side of the po litical fence, Sen. Paul H. Doug las (D-Ill.) told reporters today that Republicans 'ought to be indicted for murder in the first degree" if they "force" Mr. Ei senhower to seek a second term. Douglas also showed no en- , thusiasm for the-line being taken by some Southern Democrats "-. who are calling for a "middle-of-the-road" platform and presi dential candidate in 1956. "If the Democratic Party ever becomes a conservative party." he said, "the voters will vote Republican overwhelmingly be cause they will prefer the real thing to a sham article." Psfmjf ltsnis Goitor SfViks Another Democrat, Gov. George M. Leader of Pennsyl vania, predicted that his state's delegation to the Democratic na tional convention next August will be almost solid for Adlai E. Stevenson. Leader said he has taken "no formal position" regarding any candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. But he declared that he believes Steven son is "the right man in the right place." SJevenson has not said yet whether he is a candidate for the nomination. At Duluth, Minn., Sunday, he refused to give a flat "yes" or "no" to a resolution urging him to enter the Minnesota presi dential primary next March 20. The resolution was adopted unanimously by the state com mittee of the Minnesota Demo cratic Party. Stevenson said that he plans to make known his intentions in Chicago. Wheat Growers Rap Flexible Supports At Pendleton Hearing Rita Hayworth Decides To Divorce Dick Haymes Paris 0J.R) Rita Hayworth has decided to divorce crooner Dick Haymes, but talk that she , might remarry Prince Aly Khan is "ridiculous," friends quoted her as, saying today. , "I expect to divorce Mr. .,Haymes," the: 37-year-old movie star was quoted as saying. "But it is completely ridiculous and absurd to think .that . Aly and I ' could remarry." Garden Notes C. I. By CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture Special steps must be taken to preserve geraniums, as they will be completely killed out in our winters. There are several means of doing this, but probably the .easiest-way is to root cuttings, A cutting is merely a piece of stem 4rto 6 inches long. The stem should be cut with a sharp knife just below a joint on the lower end and above a joint at the top. The lower leaves are stripped off but the leaves at the top should be left on to provide food for the cutting while it is producing new roots. These cuttings should be planted in a mixture of sand and peat moss. Two-thirds sand and one-third peat moss make a good mixture. The cutting should be planted so that only the top joint and the leaves stick out, The use of a little rooting hor mone would be beneficial. Afteg being planted they should be placed in a light room where the temperature will "be between 50 and 70. Placing them hear an upstairs window is gen erally a very good spot and by spring the plants will be not only large enough to set out, but they will probably be already blooming. Temperature conditions must be watched rather carefully. If the sand and pgit moss are kept , too wet the cuttings may rot, ,but enough moisture must be present jo keep the leaves from wilting. " Take several cuttings from : each of the different types of .geraniums so 'that if a few of ' them fail ta root you will have a better chance. to have some of : each variety survlvethe winter, It has been reported that if ', entire plants are dug up," the roots washed off and hung up in a cool basement or attic where it doesn't freeze, they will keep until the next spring. I haven't seen this method tried locally, but it would be a very simple way if it would work. ' Pendleton, Ore. (UP.) Pa cine Northwest wheat growers today attacked fee administra tion's flexible farm price sup port plan and urged, instead, a two-price plan for wheat. Spokesmen for Oregon and Washington growers told the Senate Agriculture committee at a hearing on farm supports here their plan would offer 100 per cent of "fair income" parity props for the portion of the crop about half used domestic ally as human food. The rest of the crop would move into animal feed or export markets for whatever it would bring. The National Grange has endorsed this type of support for wheat, cotton and rice, three of Rains Taper Off Over New England By. UNITED PRESS Rains tapered off over sodden New England today, ending the threat of more disastrous floods. Downpours last night and ear ly today sent small streams over their banks in upstate New York. Rivers and streams rose rapidly in Connecticut, hardest hit by the recent New England floods. .. But forecasters said early to day that the rains had let up and the danger of serious flooding was over. Elsewhere in the nation, wint ry weather stretched across the northern Midwest and a new Pa cific cold front threatened to rout mild weather in the South west. Chicago had its first snow of the season and there was five inches of snow on the ground at Grantsburg, Wis.

Reefs Not Planning Attack on Macao Taipeh (U.R) The Chinese Communists do not intend to launch any "immediate" military attack against the Portuguese colony of Macao, a Nationalist Chinese source predicted today. He pointed out that the. Com munists currently support, at least in their propaganda out lets, the "Geneva spirit," and "relaxation of world tension." the natioft's major export crops. Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D-La.), of the Senate commit tee, said .in a statement that neither flexible nor rigid sup ports would in tljemselves, solve the problem of sagging farm in come. Ellender, whose committee to day launched the second week of its nationwide tour to gather grass roots before writing a new farm bill, 0said farmer witness es heard so far had offered "many conflicting views." "Selling flexible supports to wheat producers will be diffi cult, for we see it forcing down the price on all wheat produced," said Jack L. Smith, a Gilliam county, Ore., farmer in testi mony prepared for the commit tee. Benson Plan Criticized Smith appeared in behalf of the State Wheat Growers league. Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson set 1955 wheat supports at 82.5 per cent of parity and cut them to 76 per cent for 1956. The national wheat surplus now totals more than 1,000,000 bushels. Most of this is in gov ernment hands under the sup port program and Benson blames the surplus largely on the old, Democratic program of rigid sup ports.. Benson's theory is that lower supports will lead the far mers to seduce production. "I, as a farmer, know this is not the case," Smith said. He argued that commercial wheat growers who have practically no productive alternative crops will not voluntarily cut production when prices are cut. If anything, Smith said, far mers will increase production to maintain their total income. Ship Stuck in Mud In Capetown Harbor Capetown (U.R) Port au thorities estimated today it would take "a couple of days" before the stranded American passenger-cargo ship William Lykes would be free from the harbor mud in which it is stuck.
