Barnstorming in the Parlor
President Eisenhower as a 1956 candidate will not
go in for extensive traveling and whistle-stop speak
ing "normally ref erred to as barnstorming." The de
cision, which surprised no one, was not dictated by his
physical condition, apparently. He says that long be
fore he "ever dreamed of a personal heart attack"
he had made up his mind that he could not, as "Pres
ident of all the people," conduct such a campaign.
General Eisenhower approached the Republican
nomination in the spring of 1952 with a "front
porch" type of campaign. His advisers apparently
were relying on his personal popularity. Usually front
porch campaigns are the happy privilege only of
front-runners. Marcus A. Hanna, the guiding genius
behind William McKinley in 1896 and 1900, is credit
ed by most historians with merchandizing that type
of campaign.
OANNA, a highly successful businessman, applied
business methods to politics, "assessing" big
firms for contributions and billing McKinley as the
"advance agent of prosperity." In 1896 Hanna had
McKinley stay at home in Canton, 0., meeting care
fully selected delegations and addressing them in
"front-porch" speeches.
McKinley conducted the same sort of campaign
in 1900, but with what is now called a "twist." While
McKinley stayed at home, his running-mate for vice
president, "Teddy" Roosevelt, traveled up hill and
down dale, making 673 fiery speeches in 24 states.
Richard M. Nixon, or any other Republican candi
date for vice-president in 1956, can be expected to do
the same.
t
A DVANCES in technology have had their weight
in politics. Front-porch campaigns have given
way to campaigns aimed at the parlor or wherever
else the family television set may be located.
For political purposes, television would appear to
be an ideal method of communication. According to
a survey published in February by the Brookings In
stitution, the Democratic convention in 1952 reached
a peak of 14,556,000 tuned-in TV sets; the Republi
can convention went into a peak of 13,097,000 home
sets.
By the time of the 1952 conventions there were
over 18 million sets in the United" States, mostly in
homes, aggregating 39 per cent of all U.S. homes. As
of Jan. 1, 1956, there were 37,100,000 TV sets, and' by
convention time there will probably be three or four
million more.
"yiCE-PRESIDENT Nixon 'is a sound adviser on
' TV techniques. His apologia of Sept. 23, 1952
was tuned into an estimated 9,136,000 homes, the
highest saturation of the entire campaign. Nixon
on Sept. 15, 1955 gave a television industry gathering
a few tips on the political uses of TV.
They included: l)Aim for well-prepared, off-the-cuff
remarks, avoiding written texts and prompt
ers; 2) use frequent 5-minute talks and 1-minute
spots to make a candidate's face and name familiar
to the audience; 3) "be prepared to spend as much
money on building up a program through advertise
ments and organization work" as on the air time it
self. E.R.R.
Arms and the Middle East
Israel Ambassador Abba S. Eban is trying to get
the U.S. State Deartment to say "yes or no" within
the next few days on the arms request submitted
to the Department on Nov. 16. The arms are sought
by Israel to counter weapons Egypt is receiving as a
result of a deal with Czechoslovakia in August.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles on Feb. 24
told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that
Israel, "due to its much smaller size and population,
could not win an arms race against Arabs having
access to Soviet bloc stocks." Dulles did not exclude
the possibility, however, of U.S. arms sales to Israel
or Arab states "when it will preserve the peace."
"117HAT has Egypt got from Czechoslovakia to up-
; set the Middle East arms balance? Israeli
sources in Washington, with access to their own in
telligence reports, refer to a London Times, dispatch
of Feb. 10 as the best informed published account.
The article, wired from Cairo, and admittedly
based on "probabilities," lists these probabilities as:
75 Mig 15 fighter aircraft; "not more than 40" twin
jet IL 28 bombers "much the most advanced strik
ing weapon on either, side" a few Joseph Stalin
Mark III tanks, mounting 122 millimeter guns; more
than 50 T 34 tanks a match for the U.S. Shermans
the Israelis have quantities of Russian artillery and
small arms such as machine guns and bazookas. '
These are in addition to the arms Egypt had pur
chased from Britain and Belgium, including 32 Brit
ish Centurion Mark III tanks, "the most powerful
armoured fighting vehicle in the Middle East." The
Egyptian Navy has, as does the Israeli Navy, two
fairly modern British destroyers. Egypt has a large
number of Vampire fighters, and some Meteors. The
artillery forces are well equipped with the "splendid"
British 25-pounder, a howitzer roughly equivalent to
an 87 millimeter gun.
TTHE Egyptian-Czechoslovakian deal is generally
agreed to have involved $100 million in arms, for
which Egypt mortgaged much of its cotton crop. The
"shopping list" Ambassador Eban submitted to- the
State Department in November is estimated to have
involved $50 million, with emphasis on F-86 jet fight
ers and anti-aircraft guns.
As for the disparity in population between Israel
and the Arab 'states, Israeli sources call this a
quantitative rather than a qualitative one. They point
out that the United States, with 165 million people,
has yet to yield military superiority to the almost 600
million of Red China, despite Chinese access to So
viet arms. E.R.R.

Boy Wants Stones
To the Editor: I am a mother
of a lonely 11-year-old son, our
only child, who wants to become
a geologist when he grows up. His
only interest in life is stones. But
here in southern Florida there
are no stones to be found, and
he feels bad about it, and as a
mother of her only child it breaks
my heart to see my boy like this
all the time. I heard that Oregon
was a paradise for stones of all
kinds so I thought I would write
to you for help.
Would you please print an
item in your newspaper about
our son? His name is Ronald
Jedziniak, 8935 N.W. 35, Court,
Miami, Fla. Maybe some of your
readers would like to trade some
Oregon stones for some of Flor
ida's beautiful sea shells, sea
horses, star fish, coral, and other
specimens. I would also be will
ing to send anyone anything if
they would only send my son
some nice stones such as ores,
minerals, crystals, fluorescent
stones, gem stones, fossils, even
old Indian relics such as beads,
arrow heads and so forth. My boy
would also like to correspond
with any one in your area. I
would do anything sp that our
only child could be happy in his
new found hobby.

Asks Honest Study
To the Editor: Manyt things
have been said both pro and
con in this column in regard to
fluoridation. It seems to me that
the answer is really a very
simple one.
If every parent of school age
or pre-school age children would
make an honest study of the
reports issued by the American
Medical association, the Amer
ican Dental association, and the
United States Public Health
service, I am sure that they
could only come to the conclu
sion that the fluoridation of our
water supply should be accomp
lished without delay.
Many wild accusations shave
been made as to why we should
not fluoridate our water supply
and all have been emphatically
refuted by these RESPONSIBLE
organizations. These reports are
available to everyone through
the Jackson County Public
Health association.
Fluoridation would mean bet
ter health for the children of
our community and consequent
ly an increased income to the
parents of these children through
decreased dental and medical
bills! It is difficult for me to
conceive the parents of the com
munity rejecting a dollars and
cents proposition such as this.
If the fluoridation program
were brought to the vote of the
people of Meodford, I am con
vinced that it would pass by an

to persuade him to go into the

Minister Pineau are among
those present.
They are discussing important
problems affecting countries all
the way from Pakistan to Japan.
But the problems are all long
range ones. There is nothing urr
gent on the program, for .discus
sion. Problems Elsewhere
Meantime, problems of imme
mediate urgency are developing
much nearer home.
Dulles himself will not be at
home, if he sticks to his sched
ule, until March 21. He plans to
visit nine East Asian countries,
in addition to Pakistan.
Within a few hours of Dulles'
departure from Washington Sat
urday things started popping.
Jordan abruptly fired Gen.
John Bagot Glubb, commander
of its Araba Legion. That action
weakened the entire Western
Allied situation in the Middle
East.
Moscow Visit
Socialist Premier Guy MoUet
of France, one of .the big three
Western allies, announced he in
tended to visit Moscow.
French Foreign Minister Pi
neau let loose a sensational blast
against allied policy before he
left Paris for Karachi..
"I am in prof ound disagree
ment with the Western policy
of the last few years," Pineau
said in a speech., "We have com
mitted enormous errors by re
garding the problerj of security
as the only one."
What Pineau mesnt was that
the Western Allies ought to pay
more attention to economic
problems, disarmament and the
search for real peace to counter
Russia's worldwide diplomatic
and economic offensive.
Negotiation Breakdown
Within a few hours of Dulles
departure from Washington also
negotiations between Britain
and Orthodox Archbishop Maka
rios over the future of the Medi
terranean island of Cyprus all
but broke down.
To make it worse there were
new flare-ups between Israel
and Syria over the week end,
and between Israel and Egypt
and Jordan.
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
is so worried over the Jordan
situation that he is reported to
be consulting President Eisen
hower. He also has asked that
French Premier MoUet to go to
London for talks.
With aU these things going on
Dulles seems to be on a diplo
matic sidetrack. Thanks to mod
ern communications facilities,
he naturally will be in touch
with Washington while he is on
his tour.
But that is not the same thing

Eisenhower within reason.
"He wiU adjust himself to
pressures as may be necessary,"
Snyder said.
In last week's telecast, Mr.
Eisenhower declared himself fit
to serve and stated the limita
tion on his physical activity. It
meant, he said, that he would
not "engage in extensive travel
ling and in whistlestop speaking,
normally referred to as barn
storming." He added that he had made
up his mind before any thought
of personal illness that as presi
dent of all the people he could
not engage in such a campaign.
This implied rebuke to former
President Truman's 1948 cam
paign tactics may not, however,
bar Mr. Eisenhower from the
political sore spots.
The usual Republican cam
paign train probably wiU not
turn a wheel this year. But air
planes are handy substitutes with
no whistlestop connection.
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland, California,
and National Committee Chair
man Leonard W. Hall are urging
that the President be more ac

now. Their anxiety is well
founded.

up this year are Democratic now.
Seven of these are in the solid

of a dozen of the states where
that party must defend Senate
seats this year.' The winners in
Ohio, Connecticut, Maryland, In

Sfumpage Price Hike
Proposed Says McKay
Washington KU.R) Secretary
of Interior Douglas McKay said
today that stumpage prices for
ponderosa pine, larch, douglas
fir, and other species of timber
have been proposed for the
Schoolie logging unit of the
Warm Springs Indian reserva
tion. The proposed ' stumpage
hike would be effective April 1.
Don C. Foster, area director,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, esti
mated the increase would mean
from $150,000 to $200,000 annu
ally would be added to the
Warm Springs tribal income.
The proposed price raises
would move ponderosa pine
stumpage from 30 to 39 per cent
on the lumber index. Other spe
cies would raise from the pres
ent 8 to 23 per cent.
Portland, Klamath
Base Funds Approved
Washington (U.R) Two air

were included in an appropria

for military construction passed
by the House Armed Services
committee yesterday. Included
in the bin was $13,508,000 for
the proposed new air base in the
Portland area and $1,130,000 for
the Klamath FaUs air base.
Completion of the first phase
of construction at the Klamath
Falls base is scheduled for this
spring with the first two units
scheduled to arrive this summer.
About $12,000,000 already has
been authorized for the Klamath
Falls base.
No site has yet been chosen
for the new instaUation in the

Meat Cutters Talk
Strike in Portland
Portland (U.R) A threatened
strike of meat cutters was re
ported today.
Amos R. Buck, secretary of
Meat Cutters Local No. 143, told
the Central Labor Council last
night that negotiations with em
ployers are in a deadlock. He
said a strike might occur March
15 if no contract is agreed upon
by then. A strike vote will be
taken tomorrow night.
Buck said 800 retail butchers
were asking for $96 a week in
stead of $87.50. He said whole
sale butchers now make $96 a
week. A deadlock also exists on
Sunday meat and health and wel
fare, he said.

Socialist leaders made the re
quest through the American
embassy. They contended the
tests will contaminate air and
sea currents and fish with dan
gerous radioactivity.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Americans who are thinking
of driving into Mexico and it
looks like about half of our na
tion is thinking of doing just
that will be interested first of
all in the condition of the Mex
ican highways.
So far as the west coast is
concerned, there is nothing to
worry about. Highway 15, lead
ing down from Nogales, is good
all the way to Mexico City. It
is excellent as far as Mazatlan.
In the state of Sonora, the
farthest northern state, it is
splendid.
HPHE Mexican highways, of
course, are a little narrow by
American standards. But they
are wide enough. Traffic on
Highway 15 is relatively light.
In Mexico, cars cost about twice
as much as in the states. That
is because of the duty, which
is about 100 per cent. Mexico
has a budding car assembly
business, and proposes to pro
tect it.
Then car ownership isn't uni
versal in Mexico as it is in our
country. Only the upper echelons
of Mexicans can afford them.
As a result car ownership is
low by American standards. So
their roads aren't as crowded as
ours are.
"C'OR the visitor, this has its
advantages. In more than
2,000 miles of driving in western
Mexico, I saw only one acci
dent. About halfway down in
Sonora, a trailer truck had
jackknifed and turned over. The
speed limit on open, straight
road is 100 celometers, or about
62 miles. .
With reasonable care, driving
on Highway 15 is perfectly safe.
rpHIS west coast road has been
-1- well engineered. There are
long, straight stretches many
of them 30 to 40 miles without
a curve between the border and
Mazatlan. As a result, excellent
time can be made with safety.
Below Mazatlan, there are
more curves and the surface of
the road isn't so smooth. But
there is nothing to worry about,
and good time can be made.
WHAT of the cops?
They are few and far be
tween. Often you drive for hours
without seeing one. They are
uniformly courteous and help
ful, and you soon come to re
gard them as your best friends
Almost without exception, they
speak good English. If you get
lost, or have trouble of any
sort, just hunt up a cop. He'll
set vou rieht. and will do it
so pleasantly that you'll go on
your way rejoicing. '
The cities are full of one-way
streets, and it's amazing now
easily you can go the wrong
way. But the cop usually smiles
good-naturedly and motions you
to get turned around and head
in the other direction.
ITHAT of the gasoline?
" That's another story. In the
state of Sonora, ethyl is quite
generally obtainable. But south
of Sonora you're just plain
lucky if you stumble into a
pump with high test fuel. The
ordinary grade known as Mex
olina is pretty far down the
scale. In modern high compres
sion cars it clanks and knocks
and you think your car is going
to fall to pieces as sure as shoot
ing. But it doesn't. Somehow you
keep going especially if you
learn the trick of gaining speed
gradually instead of shoving the
pedal down to the floor boards.
Older cars,' with lower compres
sion ratios, of course, handle
the low grade gasoline without
trouble.
f ASOLLNE is measured by the
liter instead of by the gal
lon. So the pumps show liters
instead of gallons. There are
roughly four liters in a gallon.
The price will be in pesos, and
it varies with the grade, but
it will always be somewhere be
low a peso per liter. You'll soon
get the hang of knowing how to
pay for what you get.
The price of high test gas runs
slightly less than in the United
States. The price of low grade
fuel is considerably less.
1T7HAT do you do with your
par?
In general, you lock it up
and leave it in the street, except
in the very big cities. In western
Mexico- cars left m the streets
are quite safe if locked up
thoroughly.

Internal Revenue
Bureau Critic
Faces Tax Charge
Boston (U.R) Rep. Thomas
J. Lane (D.-Mass.) one time crit-
ic of the U.S. Internal Revenue
department's investigation into
tax delinquents, today faced
charges of tax evasion.
. Lane was indicted by a fed
eral Grand Jury here yesterday
on charges of evading $38,543
in income taxes from 1949
through 1951. No date was set
for arraignment. .
False Returns Claimed
According to the indictment
returned by Federal Judge
Charles E. Wyzanski Jr., the
evasions were committed by fil
ing "false and fraudulent" joint
tax returns.
- The congresman's wife, the
former Jane R. Mifrphy of Law
rence, was not named in the in
dictment. The government aUeged that
Lane paid taxes totaling $16,896
during the three-year period al
though he owed $55,440. The in
dictment charged that Lane filed
returns showing income for the
three years as $66,259 when he
"well knew" the total was
$151,166.
From Private Practice
Justice department officials
said the tax evasions resulted
from the congressman's private
law practice in Lawrence.
Three years ago Lane criti
cized the Internal Revenue bu
reau's Boston office for con
ducting a door-to-door canvass
for delinquent taxpayers.
Lane charged . in August,
1953, that the canvass was "un
warranted" and might constitute
a "violation of the sanctity of
the home." He and two other
Massachusetts congressmen had
promised a full investigation.
However, the inquiry did not
materialize.
Adlai, Kefauver

Minneapolis (U.R) The cam
