SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, February 1, 195B Stevenson Charged strati on g To Admmi Caterin 'Rich And Powerful 5 l - - to Candidate Flies to California; Public 1 Appearances Slated Oakland, Calif. (U.PJ Adlai E. Stevenson flew here today to let voters along, the populous eastern shore of San Francisco Bay get a look at him well in advance of California's June 5 primary. Bidding for the Golden State's 68 Democratic convention votes, Stevenson scheduled a full day of public appearances, meetings and conferences in Alameda county. The climax of the day's acti vities comes tonight with a $1.50 box supper at Oakland audi torium. There the Democratic presidential hopeful will be sure. to lose no opportunity to . ,oss some of his sharp verbal barbs at the GOP for its conduct of foreign and domestic policy. . . Stevenson did so last night in Sacramento Before a capacity crowd of 1,200 attending a ?1 a plate bean dinner. Attacks Foreign Policy He charged that the admini stration foreign policy was alter nately "peaceful" and "bomb brandishing." He claimed ad ministration domestic policy catering primarily to the "rich and powerful." "Enough of piety and peaseful proclamation by the President to please half the Republicans," he said, "and threats and bomb brandishing by the secretary of state to please the other half. "And all the while, precious little to please our ancient allies and restore the image of a firm, confident, magnanimous -America to meet the threat of grow ing Communism throughout the world." , Stevenson, tanned from his recent stay in Arizona, had this to say of the administration's domestic policies: "We have had enough huck stering, self-adverting, sales manship and merchandising by our government to its stock holders, the people. Goyernment For Rich "Enough of a single interest government, of preoccupation with the welfare of the rich and the powerful, of big business and big industry, and indif ference to farms, labor, consum ers and small businessmen." Earlier, at a press conference, Stevenson spoke out against a bill now pending in Congress that would exempt producers of natural gas from federal regula tion. He said such a bill pro vided "inadequate protection" for the consumer. He also took occasion to call for a secretary of agriculture "with a heart." He said he had not seen much evidence that Secretary Ezra T. Benson was sincerely for the farmer. Stevenson flew to Sacramento yesterday from Arizona to begin a 10-day whirlwind tour of Call- fornia. The tour will include an appearance Saturday in Fresno before the California Democratic Council. Also speaking .to the council will be Sen. Estes Ke- fauver (D-Tenn.), who is also . entering the California primary.

Minnesota Leaders Place Eisenhower On Presidential Primary St. Paul, Minn. (U.R) Min nesota Republican leaders an nounced they are entering Presi dent Eisenhower's name today in the state's GOP presidential pri mary March 20. - ' 0 Sen. Edward J. Thye (R-Minn), and other party leaders planned to call at the secretary of state's office with petitions signed by about 1,00 voters to file Mr. Eis enhower's name. "We are entering the Presi dent in the Minnesota primary, confident that he will be a can didate for reelection and certain that he will be returned to the White House for a second term by a landslide vote," they, said in a statement."" Already Filed The President's name already has been filed in Illinois and New Hampshire. Plans also are being made to enter him in a number of other states, although he has not yet - -decided - whether his health will permit him to seek a second term. . . . . The Minnesota primary is the second in the nation coming a week after that in New Hamp shire. . Its primary law is- similar to Portland People Favor Fluoridation Of Water Supply Portland A majority of the residents of Portland are in favor of fluoridation of their municipal water supply, the Portland Oregonian said today. The newspaper based its state ment on a poll taken by Dan E. Clark II and Associates, a public opinion - polling - organization, which undertook to determine Portland residents', attitudes of the paper. A "true cross-section" of residents was polled with these- results: For fluoridation, 52.1 per cent. Against, 27.9 per cent. Undecided, 20 per cent. A number of - Oregon cities now treat their water supplies with tiny amounts of fluoride. This has been found to be highly effective in reducing dental de cay in small children. ' . The measure, now being con sidered for . adoption in Port land, was more strongly favored by those in the 21 to 44 year old age group than by those over 45 years. The newspaper pointed out that the results of the poll are parallel to findings of a poll made recently in Coos Bay North bend, where, fluoridation was favored by a margin of al most four to one. "Vociferous minority" In an editorial, the Oregon ian declared that the poll bore out its feeling that "the oppon ents of fluoridation actually rep resent a particularly vociferous minority," and revealed that of the letters it has received on the subject, a majority of three or four to one opposed fluorida tion. The poll, the paper said, indicate that those favoring the health measure generally are quieter and less vocal in their opinion. . ' " Eugene Publisher Suffers Heart Attack Eugene -r- (U.R) Alton F.

A cigar can be of different shapes and made of a wide variety of tobacco .but a genuine stogie is long and thin and made of tobacco grown in Pennsylvania. . . . Q. On what do you base your claim that Long Island ducks are the best ducks produced in this country? A. I do not recall making any such claim. Still it could be true. More, than 50 per cent of the ducks consumed in this country are Long Island ducks. All Long Island ducks are descendants of a Chinese breed known as "Im perial Peking." Aside Flo .

IF YOU'RE NOT TRADING AT at:th Government Applies Pressure To Settle estihghouse Strike Washington (U.R)- The gov ernment today applied new pres sure toward settling the 109-day Westinghouse strike. Terming -the strike , "intoler able," Federal Mediation Director- Joseph F. Finnegan invited top bargaining representatives to both sides to meet with him here today. Finnegan said he expected bo;h James B. Carey, president of the striking AFL-CIO electri cal workers union, and Robert P. Blasier, Westinghouse vice president, at the meeting. Both company and union accepted his invitation. Finnegan said his move was "not a departure from the ad ministration's policy of not bringing labor-management dis putes to Washington."., He said today's meeting was to "review and consider the status of West inghouse strike negotiations to date." Meeting Necessary Finnegan's telegrams to Carey and Blasier implied that he con sidered the Washington meeting necessary to get both sides down to "genuine collective bargain ing." - "It is inconceivable to me that this strike cannot' be resolved if both parties are willing to lend their efforts .to genuine collect ive bargaining," he said. The dispute has been dead locked on several issues.- The company wants: a five-year con tract. The union has refused this on the ground that the cur rent negotiations are under a wage reopener in a contract thai doesn't expire for another year.
