. . . . .. . .- . . . ixon Believed Assured of Second Spot on Ticket If Ike Runs Again Lyle C. Wilson is a running Vice President Must Survive Hide Hunters By LYLE C. WILSON United Prtsi Corespondent Washington U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon will be on the ticket with President Eisenhower if there is to be a second term. That's the program as of now, s u b i ect to some quali fying ifs and buts. Mr. Eis enhower, how ever, apparent ly wants his young friend mate again, if there is any running. There is considerable evidence that Nixon has been given that comforting word by the Presi dent himself. All of this tends to encourage Nixon who has some problems of his own in this presidential campaign year. Problem No. 1 is how to conduct himself so that he may be in the best position to be nominated for President next August if Mr. Eisenhower bows out. Nixon is not his own man. Far from it. As vice-president of the United States has no real man date to say or do anything of real significance except at the express request of the Presi dent. Nixon must not make any political moves for. himself none, until and unless Mr. Eisen hower announces he will not be a second term candidate. Knowland Willing To Wait Sen. William F. Knowland, another Californian, has said he would be willing to wait until Feb. 15 or thereabouts to hear from Mr. Eisenhower before launching his own presidential candidacy. If the President re mains silent much beyond -that date, you can expect Knowland to move. Nixon is silenced until the President chooses to speak, how ever late that may be. His No. 2 problem is how to .overcome the whispers that "Nixon can't win" or that "Nixon would hurt the ticket if he were renominat ed." A lot of people want Nix on's hide with him not in it. He is disliked, even hated, by the Democratic leadership and by the party generally: - Left-of-center Republicans and Independents thump "him like a drum. The vice-president has given much thought to his spot as administration whipping boy. Look for him ' to increase his schedule of public speaking in the weeks ahead. Personal ap pearances have paid off well for Nixon. He spoke last week in Springfield, 111., at the United States Junior Chamber of Com merce annual banquet. Nixon Scored Triumph From Springfield came word that Nixon had achieved a per sonal triumph in his contacts with the Jaycees. Mr. Eisenhow er is confident Nixon would be a valuable second man on the 1956 ticket. StDl to come, how ever, is the pressure to bounce him off. That will not build up in a big way until Mr. Eisenhow er's own plans are known. If the President decides to run, the White House shortly will be jammed witti well wishers who wish also to get rid of Nixon. Mr. Eisenhower has been known to yield to political pres sure. But, on the record so far, he is standing pat for his boy. Medford United Press Full Leased Wire Tribune United Press Full Leased Wire Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1956. Pages 1-6 Chicago Gaslight Club Takes Patrons Into Bygone Era; for Keyholders Only REMEMBER NICKEL BEER? Well this one being served by Anna Kirsten with two five-cent sandwiches has come a long, long way. It's $1.25. Anna and other model waitresses in Chicago's Gas light Club (members only) are among highest paid in the country. All drinks at the exclusive bar are $1.25, whether champagne or beer. David Epps Will Be Democratic Candidate Sweet Home (U.R) David Epps, Sweet Home and Lebanon furniture dealer long prominent in Democratic circles, announced today he would be a candidate from the state ' at large to the Democratic national convention. He said he would support Adlai Stevenson for the presidential nomination. Epps has been an Oregon dele gate to the convention on two previous occasions. In 1940 he was chairman of the Draft Roose velt for a Third Term commit tee and in 1952 he was chair man of the Volunteers for Ste- By ALFRED LEACH United Press Correspondent Chicago (U.R) Walk through the swinging doors of the Gas light Club and you run smack into a bygone era. Before you. know it you're back in the days of the brass rail and the free lunch. The Gaslight, one of the na tion's most unusual saloons, is the brainchild of advertising ex ecutive Burton Browne, a Ph. D. with a yen to be a barkeep. This week Browne announced plans for setting up similar establishments in at least eight other cities New York, Wash ington, Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Dallas and Houston, Tex., Milwaukee, Wis., and Minneapo lis, Minn. These will be formed by local groups under the aegis of Na tional Gas Light Clubs, which will handle mutual credit, mem bership records and the like. Key Needed All the clubs will be key clubs, like the original Gaslight, which means you must have, a key to get in or you must be the guest of a keyholder. It's the old story of making something attractive by making it hard to get. The original Gaslight has been in operation a little more than two years, and about 3500 keys have been issued, mostly to busi ness and advertising men who can afford the $1.25 per drink. That's the price, whether you order beer, champagne or a glass of water. But you can make up for it by gorging yourself on CAMPAIGN MANAGER Portland (U.R) State Rep. Pat Dooley today announced that State Sen. Robert D. Holmes of Gearhart had been appointed as campaign manager in Dooley's race for Democratic national committeeman from Oregon. C. Girard Davidson, one-time as sistant secretary of interior, also has entered the national commit teeman race. He has not given the vice-president any promise of support for the top spot if it should happen to be open this year. That prob ably would be too much to ask now too soon. ' , In private and public, Nixon prays for Mr. Eisenhower to run again. There is no cause to doubt his sincerity. He is young. Time is on his side. The vice-president has his eye on 1960. March of Dimes Coming Events Events scheduled throughout Jackson county in the next few days to raise March . of Dimes funds for the fight against polio include the following: Tonight Chili feed and fa ther - son basketball game at Wimer.

It's the closest approach left to the traditional free lunch, now outlawed in Illinois. Browne, an imaginative gent who once gave his friends gift certificates for Christmas en titling them to free tattoos, set up the Gaslight as a haven for beleagured males. It's a psycho logical holdover from the secret societies of boyhood. Women Guests Women are admitted only as guests of keyholders. The Gaslight's decor must be seen to be appreciated. There's Ike Petitions To Be Filed in State Portland U.R) The chair man of a committee which ' is circulating petitions to place President Eisenhower's name on the Oregon primary ballot said today that a state-wide petition would be filed before March 17. Paul Kerrigan, chairman of the Eisenhower - for -. President committee at Reed college, said "We are greatly encouraged by the President's comments on the question of his candidacy at his press conference today. They support our firm conviction that Mr. Eisenhower will bow to the wishes of the American people for the continuation of his lead ership . . ." President Eisenhower said he had no "official objection" to entry of his name in the GOP presidential primaries but add' ed this does not mean he will run for reelection. Kerrigan said the committee could file the required 1000 sig natures now but preferred to wait until a petition represent ing all parts of the state could be presented. He said the com mittee is organizing groups in 20 of the 36 counties and would organize in the other 16 as soon as possible. The Oregon primary is May 18. an old-The no sign outside, only fashioned gas streetlight. facade is carved wood. Inside there's an authentic mahogany bar, a magnificent relic from a famous old Prairie Ave. saloon, complete with brass rail and cuspidors. On the walls hang pictures of plump ladies in various stages of undress, collected from old-time saloons in various parts of the country. The waitresses, among the highest paid in the land, are models clad in scanty but taste ful costumes.' That's the only anachronism. The gals never dressed like that in the gay 90s. Steel Man Defends Charge by Meany Pittsburgh U.R) National Steel Corp. Chairman Ernest T. Weir fired back today at a state ment by AFL-CIO President George Meany charging Ameri can businessmen were too friendly toward Russia. Weir said the leader of the 16,000,000 member labor union quoted him out of context. Meany- told a Rotary club meeting in New York Thursday that Weir had expressed the view that the Western nations "should renounce their attitude of suspicion and distrust" and proceed from the principle that "Russia now wants peace and more stable international rela tions." A spokesman for the national steel executive said Meany took quotes from a dispatch written by Weir for the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The story was written last May prior to the Geneva conference and "the two sen tences" . . . extracted do not ac curately nor fairly reflect the substance of this lengthy arti cle," the spokesman said.
