SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, February 13. 1956 Mi Over democrat Washington U.R) The split within the Democratic party over civil rights was clearly re fleeted today in the differing stands taken on the issue by its top contenders for the presiden tial nomination. New York Gov. Averell Har- riman, the latest to spell out his views, said he favored cutting off federal funds to public schools which refuse to end seg regation. He also called for im mediate federal enforcement of the Supreme court's desegrega tion ruling. Following Harriman's state ment yesterday, Adlai E. Steven son reiterated his stand that there should be no slowing down of desegregation efforts But, he said, "we must recog nize that it is reason alone that will determine our rate of con tinued progress. , Against Tie-In ! Stevenson earlier stated his opposition to provide that no federal funds should go to seg regated schools. The third presidential con tender. Sen. Estes Kefauer (D.- Tenn.) has hedged on this ques tion. He said Friday his decision would depend on (1) whether the amendment's language could be, framed consistently with the Supreme court's desire for "or derly transition" and with al lowance for "complex local problems" and (2) whether the practical effect of the amend ment would be to defeat the school aid bill. In Republican political devel opments yesterday, the news concerned personalities more than issues. ; Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson denied that his party was trying to keep him out of active participation in .T this year's campaign. He said he is f flqoded . with speaking invita tions. .. . Heart Report Dr. Paul Dudley White, the . Boston heart specialist, said that President Eisenhower's doctors .will give him a report on his latest physical examination late Tuesday or Wednesday. But he Wisconsin Paper Says Received Favors by Oi Milwaukee (U.R) The Mil waukee Journal said yesterday that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.), has received favors from the Superior Oil Co., -the company that offered a $2500 "campaign contribution" to Sen. Francis Case (R-S.D.). The newspaper said that "in ,1953, McCarthy and his wife were ferried across and around the country in a private plane : registered in the name of the Superior ,Oil Co., Oil and Gas Bldg., Houston, Tex." "The campaign report filed with the secretary of state by the McCarthy Club Nov. 3, 1952, showed a $2000 'donation' by N. B. Keck,' the Journal'said. j'Thls donor apparently was H. : B. Keck, president of the Super ior Oil Co., Los Angeles. Principal Committee "The contribution was made Sept. 15, 1952, according to the club report. The McCarthy Club . was the Senator's principal cam- . paign committee in his 1952 cam paign for reelection." , The Journal said positive identification of contributors to Wisconsin -campaigns is difficult available. iim8i i ' m"" p V V 1.

Washington friends of Vice- Symington Info Demo By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Stuart Symington is a handsome, 55-year-old Missourian of whom the whole world may become abruptly aware some hot night next August. Symi ngton is the junior U. S. Senator from Missouri, serving a first term to which in 1952. It is Lyle C. Wilson he was elected quite possible if not yet prob ablethat the Democratic Party will nominate Symington for President this year. , He would be a compromise candidate, considerably short of a 100 per cent left winger, but not a conservative, either, by a large margin. There is more than a whisper of . speculation in Washington that Symington would stand to gain the most if the three more' publicized Democrats were rejected. The three are: Adlai E. Stev enson, Illinois; Sen. Estes ' Ke fauver, Tennessee, and Gov. Averell Harriman, New York. Former President Harry S. Tru man nominated Stevenson al most single-handed in 1952. There is some basis, for doubt now that Mr. Truman is in Stev enson's corner. Accused of Straying Harriman looks more like Mr. Truman's man. Stevenson is be ing accused of straying to the middle of the road. The . left because addresses of contributor don't have to be listed and names often are carelessly written. The newspaper said efforts to reach Keck to confirm his contribu tions were "fruitless." . The newspaper said Superior Oil Co. has offices in both Hous ton and Los Angeles and its bus iness is .acquisition of oil lands and production of crude, oil and natural gas. The firm has oil producing properties in most oil states, the newspaper said.' Leased Submerged Land . In 1947, the Superior Oil Co. and Salt Dome Oil Corp. jointly leased from Texas about 66,000 acres of submerged land in the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, the newspaper said, u "Sen. McCarthy voted for the bill giving states the off shore oil lands and for the Harris-Full-bright bill freeing gas producers The Pony express was esab lished by the U.S. government in 1860 for fast communication between' the' older states .and California.

Nixon said Nixon will' remain com pletely aloof from any efforts to build him up for the presidency while Mr. Eisenhower's 1956 plans are unknown. Republican National Chair Might JumpOvernight Presidential Picture wing of the Democratic Party seems to be a bit suspicious of him. - Harriman and ; Kef auver are 100 per centers, loyal to Mr. Truman's Fair Deal and there fore without much support from middle roaders and with none among party conservatives. On the basis of their records, Mr. Truman could go easily for either , of them, except that Ke fauyer offended in 1952 by meet ing and beating the then presi dent in New Hampshire's presi dential, primary. Mr. Truman is not likely to forget that. '.Neither would he be likely to forget . that Symington served him well and that they are fel low Missourians, although Sym ington is a carpet bagger of sorts, having been born in Massachu setts and schooled in the East. Symington was FDR's wartime assistant secretary of war for air. ; He was , first secretary of the independent Air Force under Mr. Truman. Later he was chair man of the National Security Resources Board. When the Re construction Finance Corp. was in trouble, Mr. Truman named Symington administrator to un trouble it. Did Good Job Republicans and Democrats agree that Symington did a good job wherever FDR or Mr. Tru man , put him. Before the war he was 'president of the Emer son Electric Manufacturing Co., St. Louis. He has, as the saying goes, met a payroll. Mrs. S. is a charming woman, daughter of former Sen. James W. Wadsworth of New York. When the Symingtons were not McCarthy I Company from regulation," the Journal said. "Sen. Alexander Wiley (R Wis.) voted against both meas ures." Portland Police Investigate Death Portland U.R) Police Sat urday were; investigating the possibility of foul play in -the death of Charles Hildgrof.IJjS, Portland. : Hildgrof's body was found late Friday in his home. Deputy cor oner Ted Lucas said he had ap parently died Thursday but a preliminary, autopsy failed to disclose the cause of death. The body, clad" in pajamas in a bedroom, was found by Hild grof's mother, Mrs. Josephine Douglas, who had just returned from a Portland hospital. She said the bedroom and living room of . the small house were torn up. '. I Fastest service fo I SAN FRANCISCO i . ' 1 SEATTLE I CHICAGO 70 r, I NEW YOMtisAkr,. ' 1 jl';!

She sings, and good. There are two sons, Stuart and James. Symington is an 80 per center on the Americans for Democratic Action honor roll. . That means he voted the left wing, ADA way, on 80 per cent of certain roll calls in the last session of Congress which the ADA chose as standards. The issue involved were taxes, reciprocal trade, for eign aid, public housing, state hood (Alaska and Hawaii), natur al gas, the censure resolution against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.).

(U.R) Eighty per cent of the University : of Alabama student body was re ported pledged Saturday to a "no violence" policy if Negro Autherine Lucy returns to class es. But the possibility arose that "cold wr". might replace phys ical demonstrations. . "Most of us are strong segre gationists," Walter Flowers, president of the student body, said, "but we're not for viol ence." , University President O. C. Carmichael's promise that Miss Lucy will" be reinstated if fed eral court so directs at a Feb. 29 hearing was backed indirect ly by Gov. James E. Folsom. Carmichael said police rein forcements may be needed to assure the 26-year-old coed full protection. The governor said he would do all in his power to prevent "mob rule" which could be taken to mean he would send the militia if that is what it takes for the Negro to attend classes in safety. '"': Miss Lucy was suspended last Monday' after rioters stoned her automobile and . tried to grab her. : Carmichael said the sus pension was a safety measure and loudly denounced Miss, Lucy for going to court Thursday with a charge that the' college used "cunning stratagey" - to bring on the riots 'and provide an excuse for her exclusion be cause of her 'race. -; Not : counting the recently in: stalled TV antenna on its toweri the Empire State building rises to a height of 1,248 feet.
