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.

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

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.

smoked turkey sandwiches and
the like for a nickel.
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

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.
