Washington U.P.) Events
have contributed a dreadful
realism to the old political say-
ing a vice-president

that old saw) is
likely to become a buzz saw.
Nixon's friends were bitterly
complaining long before Presi
dent Eisenhower was stricken
that an organized conspiracy
'sought to blast Nixon off the
Republican ticket this year.
Correspondent Robert W.
Richards of the Copley papers
wrote of it some days before Mr.
Eisenhower became ill.

plot," said Richards, "to plant a
series of derogatory stories
about him . . . the claque goes
back to the time when Nixon
pressed the indictment and con
viction of Alger Hiss, a New
Deal State 'Department offi-i
rial."
More properly it goes back to
Nixon's criticism of Democratic
dealing with the Communist
menace. 3 '
Double-Barrelled Campaign
Richards said there also was
resentment against Nixon for
his efforts to pin the late Harry
Dexter White as Soviet agent
during White's service as a high
treasury official in the Roose
velt and Truman administra
tions. Nixon's friends contend
that the campaign against him
has been stepped up since Mr.
Eisenhower's illness, with twin
objectives.
First, prevent Nixon's nomi
nation for president if the spot
becomes open and, second, pry
him off the ticket if Mr. Eisen
hower runs again. And . that's
where the old one about the
presidential heartbeat can come
up big in this year's Republican
National Convention and head
for a showdown in the Novem
ber election.
Nixon can count on powerful
Eastern support for the presi
dential nomination if Mr. Eisen
hower steps down or for second
place if the President 8 runs
again. Former President Harry
S. Truman, of Missouri, and
Speaker Sam Hayburn, of Texas,
are Democrats who " claim to
dislike Nixon as much as any
one could.
But the East is the area of
Nixon's greatest unpopularity,
as any digest; of radio or edi
torial comment would indicate.
There is a real but apparently
minority opposition to Nixon
within the Republican Party na
tionally.. His enemies appear to
be concentrated among the
Democrats and independent lib
eral voters who usually go along
with Democratic nominees. But
the Republican opposition
would show first. :
Anti-Nixon Pressure .
Mr. Eisenhower would be
under pre-converstion pressure
from within his own party
and, perhaps from some of his
White House associates to
ditch Nixon. The argument will
be that the independents would
balk at putting Nixon only a
heartbeat from the White House
for another four years. How
ever good may be campaign res
olutions not to make Mr. Eisen
hower's life expectancy an issued
in the pre-conventicn or regular
campaign periods, it is an issue
bound to be a factor from now
on, regardless of whom the vice
presidential nominee might be.
If Nixon is named again the
Democrats scarcely will be able
to avoid the temptation to make
a play for the anti-Nixon inde
pendents by pointing to the ob
vious facts, however stark they
may be.
Mr. Eisenhower's intentions
still are unknown. But, if he
does run there is much evidence
that he will want Nixon to run
with him. He is on record as
saying that a president nominee
1 should refuse to accept an un-
And I was grooming Nixon, perhaps
there have been many public for bigger things at least for
statements indicating that hej another term as No. 2.

MERCY
FLIGHTS
MEEDS YOU!
DO YOU NEED
MERCY FLIGHTS?
o
Anyone in Southern Oregon at any time may find
himself in immediate need of the services of Mercy Flights.
Ask any of the more than 430 patients who learned this
from experience.
Yet - without the subscriber system Mercy Flights
could not keep their, planes available )o meet the urgent
requests. It's a fact. Mercy Flights planes are operated at a
yearly loss of more than $10,000 and this loss is covered
by the subscriber fees of $4 a year per family. However,
those subscribers who do have need of a flight, more than
get their money's worth. In a medical emergency, they can
be taken anywhere within a 400-mile radius of Medford,
and still not have to pay a cent.
We urge every family in Southern Oregon and Northern
California, within a 150-mile radius of Medford, to join
Mercy Flights now. We believe it is safe to say that there
is not a resident in this area who does not know someone
who has been flown as a patient by Mercy Flights.
If you want to say "thanks" for that service, and at the
same time protect yourself and loved ones, join teday.
Mercy Flights, Inc. is a non-profit corporation serving you.
Simply send your name, address, and $4 to
Mercy Flights Inc.
P. O. Box 522 Medford, Oregon
Your subscriber card, good for one year, will be sent to you.
