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.

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

Take Claims Adjuster R. W. Steinback, for
example. He didn't sit in his office waiting for
policyholders to file claims he sloshed thru

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."

Terms To Return
Saar To Germany
Under Discussion
Paris (U.R) Representatives
of France and West Germany
met here today to discuss terms
for returning to Germany the
disputed Saar area which was
all but annexed by France after
each of the two world wars.
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."
