o Adlai's Pre-Conven lion Plans Almost Backfire By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The first maneuvers in Adlai E. Steven son's formal pre-convention cam f"!fpsf?i paign for next. S';'&-$ year's Dem0" 11 a i ; nomina tion did not quite backfire, but almost. Stevenson's strategy, as outlined prior to last month's announcement of hi candi dacy, was to develop an early and overwhelming show of strength. Such a showing oi early foot is essential for a front runner in any kind of con test. But, Instead of scaring off his Democratic opposition, Steven son's announcement incited them to hoots of criticism and new enthusiasm to challenge his nom ination." The No. 1 immediate de velopment was announcement by Carmine De Sapio that Gov. Averell Harriman of New York would be placed in nomination for President at next summer's Democratic National Convention Lyle C. Wilson to be held in Chicago. De Sapio is the soft-spoken leader of the New York County Democratic organization, better known as Tammany Hall. He is New York's Democratic national committeeman and secretary of state in Harriman's cabinet. De Sapio almost invented Harriman as a national political figure. De Sapio Thwarts FDR Jr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. was moving to kidnap the 1954 Dem ocratic nomination for governor in New York when De Sapio in terfered. He and others stopped Roosevelt, nominated Harriman, instead. More amazing, they elected Harriman against a stand-out Republican vote-getter Sen. Irving M. Ives. De Sapio's response to Steven son's bid was to put Harriman in the contest without qualifica tion. The governor, however describes himself as a non-active candidate. There is nothing non active about De Sapio. He is shopping for delegates, but has decided to keep his man out of the numerous presidential pref erence primaries among the states which begin with New Hampshire next March. Harriman was almost first up last year with a plug for Steven- Builder of Plane Engine For Wright Brothers Faces Prospect as Los Angeles U.R Charles Edward Taylor, 87, the man who built the engine for the Wright Brothers' famed Kitty Hawk airplane, faced the dismal prospect today of becoming a ward of the county because of his feeble income. The aged inventor, who ex ists on a pension of only $300 a year left to him in a fund by Orville Wright is presently mak ing- the Los Angeles County General hospital his home be cause he has "no place.to; go. Health Generally Good Hospital doctors said the vet eran aviation figure is in gen erally good health except for asthma, for which he cams to - n tt l M iv. xie lias ueeii appruvea iur discharge from the hospital, but doesn't know where to go. Upon hearing of his plight, Southern California aircraft in dustry workers planned to ob tain financial aid for the inven tor, who has lived here since 1928. Office workers .at the Aircraft Industries association said they would make collec tions of donations at major lo cal aircraft plants in hopes of augmentig Taylor's meager in come. But Taylor, still proud, was indignant upon hearing that re ports of his plight diad leaked out. o A Little Left Over "Why, I've got more income right now than when I was building that plane," he fumed. "Cjf course, it doesn't go as far, nowadays. But I've had a place to live and plenty to eat and enough left over to play a game of pool and buy an ice cream soda." o Taylor built the first success ful airplane engine in 1902 after Orville arid Wilbur Wright de cided to put power into one of their gliders. Soloists Will Be Featured At Band Concert Sunday Miss Gogi Grant, who present ly is singing at Rogue Valley Country-club, will be guest star at the Medford High school band concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, in the high school auditor ium. Miss Grant, who recently was on television shows ' and in Hollywood, will be accompanied by Abbey Green at the organ and Glen Parker at the guitar. In addition to Miss Grant, Miss Sonia Peterson, a Med ford High school senior also will be a featured soloist. She will play the "Warsaw Concerto" at the piano, accompanied by the band. Proceeds from the annual concert will help finance the high school band's trip to San Francisco Dec. 31, for the an nual East-West Shrine football game. The Medford band is one of two which will play during time-outs at the game. To Visit Hospital The band also will visit the Crippled Children's hospital in San Francisco the morning of the game for a short concert. The band has played at the hos pital - each year it has gone to San Francisco. High school Principal Lester Harris said ' he has received a lette? from Oregon . School Ac tivities association Secretary son's nomination for president in 1956. Last month he was no worse than second with "hoots against Stevenson's political compass course for 1956. Ste venson announced his candidacy in a speech which proposed a "moderate" approah to national issues. Harriman Objects To Word Harriman snapped back that there was no place for modera tion in the Democratic Party. Michigan's Gov. G. Mennen Wil liams, closely allied to and de pendent on the CIO for much of his political support, also ob jected to Stevenson's choice of words. Stevenson wondered out loud whether his critics favored "im moderation." The incident is typical of the manner in which the pack must attack a front runner. Harriman's chances, of course, depend wholly on stop ping Stevenson, some of whose backers now claim they have about four-fifths of the neces sary delegate votes to nomin ate him next summer. On the record of his New York performance, , Harriman packs some political punch. So does Tennessee's Sen. Estes Ke fauver who is expected to an nounce this month his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. Kefauver's strategy will be to beat down Stevenson's prestige in various state prefer ential, primary contests. Harri man will sit back, hoping they knock each other out. OP Wrong in Charges Of Politics in Mines Case, Neuberger Says Seattle (Special) The Re publican party leadership in Ore gon is totally wrong in charging "politics" to the Senate-House investigation into the Al Sarena mining case, Sen. Richard L. Neuberger said here today. He issued a statement in con nection with the federal timber hearings now under way here. Senator Neuberger said, "The only politics involved is that cer tain prominent Oregon Republi cans exerted pressure to have a private Alabama assay over rule the expert judgment of For est Service and Bureau of Land Management officials, so that more than 300 acres of valuable timber in the Rogue River Na tional forest could be transferred to private hands." His statement continued: To Follow Up o "Senator Pames E. Murray, chairman of the Senate Interior committee, has told me that he intends to follow up the Al Sa rena case until the full facts are known to the people of the United States, who were the rightful owners of this timber until it was transferred under the most extraordinary circum stances. "A private assay, conducted in far-off Mobile, Alabama, was made the basis for granting to the Al Sarena company 15 min ing claims on which grew timber worth in the neighborhood of $250,000 perhaps more. This as say was used by the Solicitor of the Interior Department, act ing for Secretary McKay, to set aside the rulings of experienced Tom Pigott informing him offic ially that the trip has official approval of the OSAA board of control and delegate assembly. Approval was granted last weekend. Status of the proposed trip was in doubt because of an OSAA rule prohibiting trips of more than 600 miles.

Tickets may be pur chased at the door, and will be sold on the first-come, first-served basis . mineral examiners of the Forest Service and BLM. If this pro cedure is made standard, virtual ly our entire National-Forest system could pass into private hands. Thus, Al Sarena is of interest to recreationists, to campers, to skiers, to genuine loggers and lumbermen. Little Man's Case "Our committee heard at Rose burg from a lonely, disabled prospector who fears he may lose his mining claims. There was no evidence in this little man's case that leading Republican politi cians believe a private assay should be allowed to cancel out the recommsndations of Federal forestry officers. Testimony al ready taken by our committee discloses that Al Sarena relied upon a procedure without prece dent in the careers of men who have been with the government for 35 years. "Why was this flone? Why was there one rule for Al Sarena and a different rule for virtually all other mining claimants on Federal lands? Why was a Mo bile, Alabama, assay considered superior to the findings of vet eran Forest Service and BLM mineral examiners? Not Consulted "It is strange, indeed, that the Republican party in Oregon does not want a Congressional com mittee to ask these questions. The National Forests, after all, are among the most prized pos session of the American people. Yet Forest Service officials were not even consulted when the of fice of the Secretary of the In terior used Alabama assays to give away a piece of the Rogue River National Forest. "Senator Murray has said that further hearings will ' be held shortly after the first of the year in Washington, D. C, to deter mine what happened at Al Sa rena. No one who is blameless has any cause to fear or de nounce these hearings. Surely a committee concerned with Fed eral timber can properly deter mine what happened to this timber in the Rogue River for est," Senator Neuberger con SAVE HOW!

Officials Witness Tucker Sno-Cat Demonstrations Four Tucker Sno - Cats were transported to Crater Lake Na tional park Wednesday for use in a demonstration-training pro gram in various terrains and snow depths. Three of the sno-cats, pur chased recently by Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company, were used to train 16 company men from Portland, Eugene, Roseburg and Medford in sno cat operation, maintenance, and lubrication. The three vehicles, designed for operation in areas of deep snow, will be used by the tele phone company to make routine and emergency trips to micro wave stations. Micro-wave stations on Siski you summit, Old Baldy, and' King mountain, now in various stages of completion, will go into service next year as trans fer stations for mobile service. The stations will serve as tele vision relays when television traffic becomes heavier. The fourth sno-cat, a double drive freighter model, was dem onstrated to' representatives of the Trans-Mountain Oil Pipe Line company of Canada. "The sno-cat, subsequently purchased by the company, will be used for pipe line inspection and maintenance in the Canadian Rockies. The freighter model is the same type of Tucker sno-cats 'now being transported to Ant arctica for polar expeditions. Five of the sno-cats will be used in Antarctica this winter by United States, French and English exploration parties. Next winter, 25 sno-cats are scheduled for use in Antarctica.
