Lausche Given Little Nomination Chance in Poll Among Br LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent "Washington U.P.) A nation wide United Press poll of state level Democratic politicians in- d i c a t es that Gov. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio at this time is no more than a rem ote possi bility for his party's 1956 preside ntial nomination. The United Lyle C. Wilson Press polled Democratic governors and Dem ocratic state chairmen reaching all but one governor and four chairman, excluding Lausche himself. Of 25 governors and 44 state chairmen, only two individuals made Lausche their first choice for the Democratic presidential nomination. They were State Chairman N. B. Carstarphen, Louisiana, and State Chairman George Sandlin, Texas. Carstarphen said: "As of to day I would say Lausche is my first choice because he is a con servative Democrat." ' Sandlin said: "Lausche would be my first choice at the mo ment. However, I think that his chances are equally good as a dark horse because the three po tential candidates now in the news will be deadlocked and the uninstructed and favorite son delegates will probably back a Yugoslav Economic Situation Studied Belgrade, Yugoslavia (U.R) The ruling Socialist Alliance to day began a detailed study of the nation's economic situation at the urging of President Tito who scolded the whole country for letting itself get into a fi nancial mess. Tito delivered the reprimand, directed toward all parts of the Yugoslav economy, in an hour- .long speech Sunday to the exec utive committee of the Socialist Alliance which includes all of the most influential leaders of the country. He promised that "strict ad ministrative measures" will be introduced to curb the worst abuses. But he said a campaign of education and checking was needed more than mere govern ment intervention. He said the Socialist Alliance and the Communist Party, many of whose members he charged were responsible for the econom ic troubles, must take the lead in such a campaign. ma zr fa An To all of our customers and friends we say thank you for your patronage for the past eight years.

The governors and chairmen were asked this question: "How would you rank Gov. Lausche as your choice for the Democratic presidential nomina tion, first, second, third or fourth?" No Support Among Governors Fourteen governors said they preferred not to make such a se lection. None picked Lausche as among his first four choices. One governor said he would rank Lausche lower than fourth choice. Several avoided any ranking but said they thought the governor of Ohio was a fine fellow. The polling developed little support for Lausche among his fellow governors. The chairmen were more friendly although 22 Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Ootacamund, India Communist party chief Nikita Khrush chev in reply to Premier Nikolai Bulganin when asked if he could climb a 50-foot betelnut tree: "Sure I can.

However, in political campaigns, I have always gone on the theory that it is best to go after the opposition with hammer and tongs." Chamblay, France Premier Edgar Faure on the instability of French governments: "France is making a hardly enviable international performance which she must renounce. Among important civilized countries, none knows of such a degree the everlasting merry-go-round of governments." Wilmington, O.

Hodson, New Hamp shire and Milton Weilmann, Utah. Ahead of Kefauver "Right now," said Weilmann "I'd rank Lausche behind Adlai Stevenson and Gov. Averell Harriman but ahead of Sen. Es tes Kefauver. Some Republicans I've talked to would like to see Lausche as the Democratic nom inee, but we Democrats, at least in Utah, don't particularly favor him." Another chairman said that h; would rate Lausche "high up.' but five said he should be rank ed lower than fourth. One re plied in a word: "Never."

The important them." have undermined the confidence to the Builder's Venturfc ... It was some 20 years ago when an Albany, Oregon buildin con tractor read an article on a mod est home that the then contro versial modern architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, had designed for a Wisconsin newspaper man. The Albany builder was induced by the description and pictures to inquire for working drawings and specifications. He got copies of them and permission to use them by paying a fee of S450, thought of as a tidy sum in those days. The contractor built the house, to seir for $7,300 (1935 dollars). One summer day of 1937 I ar rived at Albany to lend a hand in local promotion of the low cost home of lumber. The con-' tractor showed us his Frank Lloyd Wright house. ' "I couldn't begin to sell it," he said. "But my wife took kindly to it. We moved in ourselves, and we like it fine. But it is prob ably 20 years ahead of its time." Wood Plus ... What I remember most is that the ceiling and roof deck of the one-floor dwelling was a solid pack of two by fours that .'ex tended on edge, from a central fireplace and load-bearingr unit. The solid four-inch deck jutted away out from the window walls of the yard side of the house, providing a shelter for outdoor living. The memory revives here in the old boom-pond shack as I dilly-dally with my 1909 Model Oliver Visible Typewriter. For the life of me, I can't recall the contractor's name. Maybe it's in my files. These here files now are kept in the bottom of the wood-box. When I want to look up something I have to take the chunks out first, pile them on the floor, then pry and poke around in the mess of old papers, bark crumbs and slivers in the box. Commonly I quit soon, give up, and stack the wood back in place. So I can only wonder about that Frank Lloyd Wright house in Albany as it may be today and imagine that the two by fours are enduring, good for a century. BEER, MONEY TAKEN New York (U.R) Samuel Arn old told police that two men entered his delicatessen early Sunday carrying a hamper and told his wife to fill it with cans of beer. When she hesitated, Arnold said, the men pulled guns and ordered her to empty the cash register as well. They got away with a hamperful of beer and S300. Now maybe one of the Beaver Lab lads will stop by in Albany and have a new look at the ac tual situation. They are the nos iest bunch in the Northwest. I'm sure they'd like to find out for themselves how a Frank Lloyd Wright house, built in Albany 20 years ago, is making out, with its remarkably unusual features of wood construction. The Beaver Lab All this reminds me of a won derfully illustrated article in the current "W o o d ' Preserving News" on the Oregon Forest Products Laboratory at Corval lis. It tells how the program was authorized by the Oregon legis lature in 1941, for development as a cooperative project of the State Board of Forestry and the OSC School of Forestry.- The task before it was basically to do research and experiment in uses for woods and mill left overs sawdust, bark, shavings, edgings, planer ends to promote uses of new products of the kind, and to improve methods of dry ing and treating structural wood. .'. This rousing story of the Bea ver Lab's contributions spot lights, of course, the great work done on seasoning and treating problems. The great Frank Lloyd Wright is but one of the modern homes architects who are designing in the beam, post and decking woods of the Douglas fir region. This is not only because of the natural properties of these woods but because of ihe values that have been added to' them by today's timber engineering and wood chemistry by the work of such institutions as the Oregon Forest Products Laboratory the young Beaver Lab of Cor vallis.

The week began with an ac count Sunday in the unofficial Vatican City newspaper Osser vatore della Domenica of fur ther details of the Pope's vision. The article did not contradict any details of the original story published in the Italian maga zine Oggit but added new infor mation, answered certain ques tions asked by the Italian press and attacked cynics. Mysterious Voice', The newspaper said a myste rious voice told the Pope on Dec. 1 he would have a vision and that the vision appeared the following day, at dawn 12 hours before his collapse. The newspaper, in clearing up the confusion over the time of the vision, answered the doubts of Italian newspapers which had said the Pope was. in critical condition at the time of the vi sion. Asservatore della Domenica said the Pope was alert of mind and said no one was in the room with the Pope at the time be cause his collapse and crisis did not come until the next day. Pope 'Grieved' It also said the Pope was "grieved" by the disclosure of the vision almost a year later in an Italian magazine. The version in Osservatore della Domenica was presumed to have been approved by the Pope himself. It appears in the Dec. 4 edition but was published textually in II Quotidiano, the Rome daily organ of the Italian Catholic Action organization. The Pooe Sunday appeared before a cheering crowd of 15. 000 pilgrims and Romans in St. Peters Square while an over flow crowd of 5.000 jammed the Hall of Benedictions and adjoin ing rooms in the Vatican palace for a general audience, the Pope's last before Christmas. cers elect.

The new number is en titled "Le Prince du Desert," but even as the author rightly says, "It should have been simply called 'The Sheik'.' The flavor of that old black and white silent Rudolph Valen tino and Agnes Ayres movie is magnificently captured by the simple trick of having all the beautifiul decor and costumes in shades of grey, from black to white.
