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.

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

"We are entering the Presi
dent in the Minnesota primary,

that he will be returned to the
White House for a second term

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. . . . .

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. . ' "

On The Side
By E. V. DURLING
(Distributed by King Features''
Syndicate, Inc.)
Love me, sweet with all thou art,
Feeling, thinking, seeing;
Love me in full being.
Love me with thy voice
That turns sudden faint above me.
Love me with thy blush that burns
When I murmur: "Love me!"

Killers
-According to a police official
who has spent a lifetime battling
crime, most of the criminals who
shoot to kill are under 30 and
have green eyes. Also noted is
that criminals with the killer in
stinct are constantly cleaning
their guns.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
Is the difference between a cigar
and a stogie? A. 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."

this in mind when considering
proposals of marriage.
Retirement.
Too many men retire in their
early 60's. That's too soon for a
man with an active mind to let
the old rocking chair get him.
Retirement for many men is al
most' disease. It is a life short-,

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.
The company; has claimed its
contract offer is as good as the
union's five-year contract signed
