TEH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, February 20, 1956 Speculation on Vice-Presidential Candidates Continues to Increase By UNITED PRESS Speculation over who will be nominated as Democratic and Republican ' vice - presidential candidates mounted today. Sen. John F. Kennedy CD Mass.), .occasionally mentioned as a vice-presidential possibility himself on the Democratic tick et, predicted that if Adlai Stev enson wins his party's nomina tion, a Southerner will be named as Stevenson's running mate. Kenney said this would be done "to give the ticket geographic balance.'- Kennedy mentioned no names. but one Southerner known to be' interested in number two spot on the Democratic ticket is Ten nessee Gov. Frank Clement a. strong Stevenson supporter even though .a fellow Tennes sean, Sen. , Estes Kefauver, is seeking the Democratic presi dential nomination. Two Democratic mayors Ben West of Nashville, Tenn.; and Richardson Dilworth of Philadelphia predieted Sun day that if President Eisenhower runs again, the identity of his vice-presidential . running mate will be a major factor in the election. Issue for Democrats . West said Democrats will make a big issue of the man "who is one heartbeat away from the presidency" if Mr; Eis enhower is a candidate. "I don't think they can' put Dicky over again," Dilworth said in a reference to Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. "Even with a new dogP . . Ihis rpmarlr hrmicht a rhurao from Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson, a.- Republican, that Dilworth was resorting to "dem agoguery." Poulson said the Re publicans "are going to have the same team and we're going to win." Other political news: Kefauver campaigned for the third day today . in Minnesota seeking that state's 30 delegates to the Democratic National con vention, i'le will oppose Steven son in Minnesota's March 20 Presidential. primary. . Stevenson returned to his Lib ertyvilie, 111., home after a 30 day campaign swing through' the West. He conferred Sunday with Democratic Sen. Herbert H. Leh man, who heads the Stevenson camp in New York, in efforts to gain control of that state's dele gation from a rival for the Dem ocratic nomination, New York Gov. Averell Harriman. Stevenson advised the nation to "keep cool" over the Saudi Arabia tanks controversy but Kefauver called it "bad busin ess." Stevenson, in a statement from Libertyville, said, "the sit uation in the Middle East is very critical and I think this is a good time to keep cool." Kefauver said "the Commun ists started an armaments race in the Middle East by selling arms to Egypt. Now, we unfor tunately feed the fire." Israel's Chances of ; Getting US Arms Aid Declared Improved Washington (U.R) Israel's chances of getting U. S.' arms aid, including some jet planes, have improved as a result of events of the past three days, some administration officials said today. They emphasized that no deci sion has been reached but said Israel may get some favorable reaction on its arms request as a result of the controversial ship ment of 18 U. S. tanks to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is one of Israel's Arab foes in the Middle East. Freighter To Sail ' The freighter James Monroe was scheduled to- sail from Brooklyn, N. Y., today with the SAN FRANCISCO Money-saving joiit fares For schedules cr fares call 2-5851 or your Travel Agent tanks. Late Sunday night.. 29 of the ship's 33 crew members de manded a 25 per " cent bonus as wartime pay for making the voyage", but it was not imme diately clear whether this, might delay the sailing. After the tank shipment was disclosed by the United Press and prompted critical outcries, the government early Friday clamped an embargo , on any arms shipments to the Middle East. But the embargo was lift ed some 43 hours later. . Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) charged Sunday that "oil inter ests" represented by Undersec retary of State Herbert Hoover Jr., persuaded President Eisen hower to lift the embargo. 'Lucrative' Contracts Claimed Celler. said the "oil interests got the President's ear" on the controversial arms shipment. He said "they are represented' by Herbert" Hoover Jr., who in the past, has received some very lucrative contracts" from them. Hoover was not available to reporters and a State Depart ment spokesman declined com ment on Celler's charge. The New York congressman, a fre quent critic of U. S. policy to ward Israel, did not say where he got his information. The undersecretary, son of the former president, is 'a former mining engineer and was a spe cial State - Department adviser on petroleum matters before his appointment as chief assistant to Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles. FOR LOSSES m rj n . i . i r j j For their 1956 Porsche, run 500 miles, Mr. and Mrs. Carl V. Stearns, the couple on the right, received full new car price plus sales tax $3880 also $1510 for their 1955 Volkswagen. The other couple, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Kerns, received $2045 for loss of their 1955 Chevrolet Fanners Insurance Group Adjuster James E. Gwinn and District Agent L. J. Greene of Santa Cruz, Calif., are pictured paying the claims. Mr.' Stearns wrote, They were not only prompt, but they didn't act like it was Tweaking their hearts' to help, us." ' When the floods came to California a few days ago,' the well-organized net work of Farmers Insurance Group offices jumped into emergency action. To speed up payments, a special crew of adjusters rushed to food areas, seeking out policy holders, estimating losses and paying on the spot. The catastrophe revealed many dramatic instances where Farmers Insur ance Group agents and claims adjusters ignored personal safety and comfort, and worked around-the-clock to serve policy holders needing immediate assistance. Adjuster, Climbs Mountain to Find Policyholder water. All roads and bridges were washed out, but Steinback hiked over a mountain, crossed the stream on a log, inspected the damages, located policyholder at a motor court and paid for. a total loss to insureds complete satisfaction. Take Claims Adjuster R. W. Steinback, for example. He didn't sit in his office waiting for policyholders to file claims he sloshed thru the rain to go after them. In Mendocino County,' a residence was completely ' washed away and the car under These are typical of hundreds of , reports. Wherever catastrophes strike, Farmers Insurance Group rushes payments to policyholders but even under normal condi v". tions, claims are paid with such speed that over 2,000,000 policy-' holders testify: "We get the best service' from Farmers Insurance Group plus lower rates."

French Foreign Minister Chris tian Pineau &nd West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano sat down at the nego tiating table. ' Lengthy Talks Seen High German sources said there were divergences of opin ion between the French and Ger mans that would make negotia tions "difficult." They said the talks might drag on for weeks. There is little doubt that France will bow to the will of the Saar majority that voted in October for reunion with Ger many, but Pineau will seek to drive the hardest bargain possi ble in return for cession of the territory. In addition to the Saar ques tion, the negotiators will take up other pending problems in an effort to "clean up the French-German , file" as a pre liminary to a new drive for European unification. Bone of Contention ' ' The Saar Basin, with its rich reserves of coal and steel, has been one of the principal bones of contention between France and Germany since the end of World War I. France governed the Saar un der a League of Nations mandate for 15 years after the first world war when Saar landers were given an opportunity to decide their- own future they- voted overwhelmingly to return : to Germany. Molofov Joins in Criticism Against Rule by One Man Moscow (U.R) Foreign Min isier V. M. Molotov,; one of . the last of the old Bolsheviks, joined in the mounting chorus of criti cism of the one-man rule of the late Josef Stalin, the Russian people learned today. ' , - Molotov is - one of the few remaining original followers of Stalin. He has been foreign min ister of the Soviet Union since 1939 except for a brief period after World War II. ' Keynoted by Khrushchev Molotov's criticisms were de livered before the 20th Commu nist Party Congress Saturday. The text of his remarks was printed in the official party newspaper Pravda today. The policy switch against the "cult of the individual" was keynoted by ' party, secretary Nikita S. Khrushchev in his opening address Tuesday. "We do not need a god, czar or-1 m i r a c 1 e working hero," Khrushchev told the assembled chiefs of Soviet and world Com munism. The theme has been echoed by succeeding speakers. Molotov told the congress that the Central Committee of the Communist '. party will support the principles of collective lead ership against the "cult of the individual."
