January 26. 1958 Age Handicap In Contest With Younger Aspirants Editor' note: This Is the third in a series on the Democratic presiden xiai nopeluJs. 7 LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) Closest to the Roosevelt pattern among the three most discussed Demo cratic presi dential hope fuls this year is Gov. Averell Harriman o f New York Harriman is an "inactive so he is de scribed can didate for the n o m i n a tion Lyle C. Wilson He is a son of great wealth and, like FDR, benefits from the aggressive business triumphs of his fore bears. The Harrimans who preceded probably would not be voting for him this year if his number came up. Harriman is 64 years old. That is a handicap in a con test with younger men before an electorate acutely aware now nf the imhorranrp nf a President surviving the term to which he xias Deen elected. His reach for the Democratic nomination in 1952 was a fail ure beyond mere defeat. It was from Harriman s young, over enthusiastic and aggressively New Deal supporters that the move came in 19o2 .to toss some old timers out of the convention Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan was coyly in the back ground of that movement. Bold Effort Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr.,- the late President's son, was among the leaders as was the late Blair Moody of Michigan, then U. S. senator. These young men took on such party figures as Sen. Harry F. ByrcT. Virginia, and elder statesman James F. Byrnes,, South Carolina. But it was Moody, Roosevelt and com pany who went to the woodshed in the end. Conservative Southerners will not have forgotten that this year. Neither will they overlook Harriman's recent statement that there is no room in the Demo cratic party for moderation. Such things add up against him. Harriman is no political weak ling, however. Since 1952 he has established himself as a pro fessional politician by, winning New York's governorship against one of the smartest campaigners in the Republican party, Sen. Irving M. Ives. If Harriman had slight claim on his party four years ago, he is a major party figure now by reason of his public office. Carmine DeSapio, new boss of New York's new Tammany Hall, is master-minding Harriman's inactive pre-convention cam paign. DeSapio is a soft spoken, frietidly and attractive man with political skill. But his campaign efforts outside New York State have not produced much. Some Competition On his home grounds, DeSapio has lined up the state organiza tion in good shape. But a New York citizens' committee for Adlai E. Stevenson, sparked by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, among others, has been set up and is flourishing. The California Dem ocratic organization slapped down DeSanio's effort to make a big deal there. Of today's top flight Demo crats, Harriman was most close ly associated with the Roosevelt and Truman administrations. He was the only 100 per cent I-Love-Harry Fair Deal candidate in 1952. Some of his most publi cized services for Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Truman had to do with the Soviet Union. This has not rubbed off on Harriman. however. He was at Yalta. But there is no record that Harriman ever was much taken in by the Communists or that he failed sturdily to call fouls on them when others in the administration did not. At the United Nations.

Thai back ground could be of considerable help to Harriman ,in the cam paign to come if he were nomin ated for President in Chicago next August. Compromise Candidate Harriman has announced that he will enter no presidential pri maries. His only hope is that Stevenson and Sen. Estes Ke fauver knock each other out, opening the way for a compro mise candidate. Last week Harriman said "It doesn't seem likely that I ever will be President." He was not far off the target there. If elect ed, Harriman would be well left of center, true to his New Deal and Fair Deal beliefs. Mr. Tru ban, who brushed him off in 1952, doubtless could find it in his heart to make an all-out cam paign for Harriman is he were nominated this time. Here are some of the gover nor's points of view: Basic Political Philosophy "A liberal and progressive government demands action to eradicate abuses which develop in our economic life, action to Ellsworth Reports On By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth District Washington, D.C. (Special) The President's budget contains considerable good news for many communities in our Fourth Con gressional District. . As I count it, the total forthe district is $8,380,100. The breakdown of that figure shows: $2,400,000 for construc tion on the Talent irrigation project in Jackson county; $2,000,000 to continue construc tion of Hills Creek dam on the Willamette east of Eugene, and $1,500,000 for construction on Cougar Dam on the McKenzie; $100,000 for construction of Eu gene's Amazon project; $100,000 to continue ' planning of the Green Peter dam on the San-. tiam; completion of funds for $489,300 for Detroit dam and $164,300 for Lookout Point Dam. On Coos Bay, $439,000 is ask ed to complete the Charleston project plus $613,500 for dredg ing the main harbor and $480, 000 for the repair of structures, presumably the jetty. The Scholfield River project at Reedsport will get 554,000 and $40,000 ' is included for dredging the harbor at Bandon.

Farm-Labor He is a high farm subsidy man; demanded in his annual message to the Legislature that the federal government support farm income; increase the mini mum wage from SI to S1.25; modify the Taft-Hartley Act; end the concentration of economic power in large corporations. Taxes Harriman proposed that New York income taxes be reduced with a S5 credit for each tax payer and each dependent, plus substantial deductions for the aged, blind and working moth ers. He said Republican tax re ductions had favored big busi ness. Foreign Policy At Seattle, Nov. 21, Harriman said Republican policy is "a classic in the history of bun gling," based on "ill-conceived experiments and flashy slogans." He called the Korean truce a Budget Items For District Work far as we are concerned is the failure to provide enough money for needed river surveys. For the whole country only $1,650, 000 is asked for preliminary sur vey reports such as those which have long been authorized for the Coquille, the Umpqua, the Coos Bay area (flood control) and the Rogue. When I appear before the House Appropriations Commit tee I shall lay heavy emphasis on the heed for additional sur vey money so that flood protec tion in those areas may be plan ned and ultimately provided un der the Federal Flood Control Acts. Here is some good news about flood damage survey and repair money which is available right now. The law known as P.L. 99 of the 84th Congress requires the Army engineers, immediately upon the occurrence of a flood, to survey the damage sustained to all previously constructed flood control or prevention works. Having determined the nature and extent of such dam age the district engineer is then allocated money with which to proceed immediately in making repairs or reconstruction. This law applies to flood con trol works whether they are pri vately or publicly constructed New Modern Way to Feminine Daintiness WEISFIELD'S JEWELERS, 122 E. Mam, Medford, Ore.
