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.

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

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.
