o (fpURTETIf MTOrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 8, 1958 Nixon on Hot Political Spot as Ike Refuses To Endorse Vice President as No. 2 Man on Ticket By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Several facts emerge from the confusion clouding President Eisenhower's real intention as to vice president Richard M. Nixon and the No. 2 place on the 1956 GOP ticket. 1. Some of Nixon's friends are mighty Lyie c. wiison glum t n e s e days. 2. The White House was the source of the first news leak that Mr. Eisenhower himself had raised the question whether Nixon would or should be on the ticket. 3. Mr. Eisenhower has put. the vice-president on a hot political pot. 4. Nixon's strength lies among organization Republicans from National Committee Chairman Leonard W. Hall down to the grass roots. Until . Mr. Eisenhower re fused at his news conference last week to endorse Nixon for renomination, it generally had been assumed here that the President wanted to run again with his young friend. His every public reference to him had been in praise. Many of Nixon's backers were Jolted by last week's news con ference decision to postpone any expression of choice for vice president until after the Repub lican National Convention had , SPECULATION is centering these days on-whether Vice President Nixon again will be running mate of President Eisenhower. (International) nominated its presidential can didate. Jolting News Breaks The news breaks since then largely leaked from the White House or from personal presi dential pals have further jolted the renominate-Nixon brigade. The latest shocks came when a SCIENCE AT WORK New York (U.R) Four learned docftrs have examined ' thoroughly a girl who feels no pain and they're frank to say that although she shouldn't be that way, she is and they don't understand why she is. She's 19 years old, a co-ed at Duke university, Durham, N.C. So far as she knows, she's pever had a pain in her life. She came G to the doctors' notice because pulling adhesive tape off her skin didn't hurt her. And because she danced on a fractured ankle over a college football weekend. She hadn't realized she had been injured in that auto accident until days la ter w$en she couldn't get her shoe on, the ankle was so swol len. Dr. David Kipnis" also no ticed many scars on her hands, arms, and ankles. Pain hadn't warned her in time to get those parts of her out of damaging sit uations. A human being who feels no pain i. among the rar est of human beings. There are only 15 reported in the scientific literature. o Nerroui System Fine Dr. Kipnis called in .colleag ues from $ie university's depart ments of psychology, psychiatry, and neurology Louis D. Coh en, E. Charles Kunkle and Phil ip E. Kubansky. She became their "guinea prg," and the in vestigations went on for months. Now, gou'd think there had to be (Something wrong with her nervous system. There wasn t. All the wires were up, and all the connections were in place. The whole was functioning quite correctly except for the business of feeling sensations. Although she knew when sojnething was extremely hot or extremely cold, she couldn't tell much dif ference in temperatures in be tween. Nor was she ticklish. Needles were stuck into her. Little bits of her flesh were de nuded. Chemicals were injected into her skin which should have made it itch. Muscles made to function while blood supply is diminished produce pain for ev eryone, buj not for this girl, any more than the other things did. They even tried a "classic psy chological experiment in re verse." Under hypnosis, when the doctors kept telling her .that this or that painful thing was being done to her (and it was) and it was hurting her, she still felt no pain. Aftej) arf these tests, the By DELOS SMITH United Presi Science Editor investigation turned to the pure ly psychological. After all, any pain is "purely subjective" it is feeling the pain and not the pain itself which hurts. High Intelligence Many complex psychological tests were made. They revealed a higher-than-average intelli gence, excellent social adjust ments, and "a dominant, author itative, and definite person." In those tests in which the tested person is required to say or write in detail her impressions of an "ink blot" or something else from which any number of impressions are possible, she re vealed an extraordinary . sensi tivity of language and an in clination to use such words as excruciating pain." "unsDeak- able pain," "grotesque," "maim ed," distorted," "scarred." She herself didn't think her use of sensitive language meant anything. When she looked at a willow tree, she said, it looked to her like "a stick with some things hanging on it." Neverthe less, she was able to describe it "as a wisp of a ballet dancer floating gracefully through the sky." The scientists didn't think any of the results of her psychologi cal testing were "too unusual when seen in the perspective of developmental psychology." Be sides, there was little anxiety and little hysteria in her make up, they said in their technical report to the American Psycho logical assocation. Crook Officials Urge Pelton Dam Construction Prineville (U.R) Two offic ials of the Prineville-Crook coun ty Chamber of Commerce con ferred this week with Gov. Elmo Smith in Salem, urging construc tion of Pelton dam on the De schutes river. Considerable protest has been brought to the governor's atten tion, attacking construction of the proposed dam on the grounds that it would harm fish runs. The Prineville-Crook Cham ber of Commerce delegates told the governor that they believed construction of the dam would mean immediate advantages to the area's economy as well as providing other long-range benefits. nationally circulated news mag azine hit the stands a few hours before Mr. Eisenhower's news conference Wednesday. Newsweek magazine reported at length that the matter of No. 2 place on the Republican ticket still was up in the air. Mr. Eisen hower followed shortly in re sponse to news conference ques tions with more high praise for Nixon. But he uttered a stone wall refusal to tap him for re nomination. On the contrary, Mr. Eisenhower confirmed the backbone of the reports already in print that it was up .to Nixon to decide his political fu ture. It added up about to this: Mr. Eisenhower regards Nixon highly, he would accept him as a running mate, but he refuses to ask the party at this time to name him again. That is similar to the situa tion created by FDR in 1944 when he agreed, under pressure, to drop Henry A. Wallace as his vice-presidential- running mate. Mr. Roosevelt forced Wal lace on the ticket in 1940-by re fusing to deliver his own ac ceptance speech until his choice for No. 2 had been nominated. 'Free Convention' Strategy Party leaders convinced FDR four years later that Wallace would hurt the ticket. Mr. Roosevelt's strategy was to an nounce that it would be a "free convention," this time. He said he was for Wallace and if he were a delegate would vote for his renomination. But he invited the convention to choose for it self. There was a bitte ruckus in which organized labor and the left wing almost put Wallace over. But, lacking any request from Mr. Roosevelt that Wal lace be renominated, the con vention fired him on the second I ballot, choosing Harry S. Tru man instead. The parallel is not exact between Mr. Eisenhower's tactics and FDR's. But there is enough similarity to worry some of Nixon's supporters. Made No Criticism . "I have no criticism of Vice President Nixon to make," said Mr. Eisenhower Wednes day, "either as a man, as an associ ate or as my running mate on the ticket." But he didn't say: "I want him" or, even, "I would be pleased to have him." It's a free convention, so far. Nixon's supporters were cheered Wednesday by an ova tion given the vice-president when he appeared unexpectedly at a lunch, for Republican wom en gathered here from all parts of the United States. The women are grass root political profes sionals, close to the party organization. United States Urged To Be Wary Of Atomic Pact With Russians Washington (U.R) Sen. John O. Pastore (D-R.I.) said today the United States must be wary of entering into atomic disarma ment plans as long as there is no sure way to detect hidden atomic stockpiles. Pastore said this fact ought to be emphasized repeatedly es pecially to those areas of the world which do not understand why the United States doesn't readily accept Russian offers to outlaw atomic weapons. Before agreeing to such a Rus sian offer, Pastore said, the United States should have a tech nological means that would pro vide a surer guarantee than in spection teams could that Russia was not concealing atomic stock piles. Otherwise, Pastore said, "We might strip ourselves of all our atomic weapons only to wake up some morning and find out Rus sia has not kept her word." Member of Atomic Committee Pastore is a member of the Congressional Joint Atomic En ergy Committee and a special member of the Senate Disarma ment subcommittee. The impossibility of detecting hidden atomic stockpiles was also emphasized by President Eisen hower at his news conference Wednesday and by Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Committee. Strauss testi fied before the Senate Disarm ament subcommittee.

Alfred M, Gruenther visited Premier Guy Mollett today to ask some pointed questions about France's systematic transfer to strife-torn Algeria of troops pledged to European defense. Official sources declined com ment on the supreme Allied commander's talk with the pre mier, but political observers speculated Gruenther had pro tested Mollet's plan to withdraw an additional 50,000 men from F r a n c e ' s . already-skeltonized Atlantic Pact forces for Algerian duty. The two men met shortly be fore the National Assembly opened debate on an Algerian policy measure which confronts Mollet's left-wing minority cabi net with the most crucial test so far in its five-week life. The debate probably will be climaxed by a confidence vote early, next week. The Commu nists are expected to support the government, assuring its victory in any confidence test. The Socialist premier is ask ing for emergency powers to deal with the native uprising in Algeria which has caused 130 deaths in the big French "over seas province" this week. Top Producing, Dairy Herd Owned by Chase The dairy herd of Glenn and Edna Chase led the top produc ing herds in the county during February, according to the Jack son County Dairy Herd Improve ment association. The 24 cows produced an aver age of 1,031 pounds of milk with 41 pounds of butterfat for the month. The Victor and Nita Birdseye dairy was second of the top five with a 51-cow herd producing a 712-pound average with 37.8 pounds butterfat. Others were Chester Jensen, 26 cows, 674 pounds. 37.2; R. L. and Blanche Wyant, 30 cows, 605 pounds, 36.7 33 cows, 636 butterfat. Gilman's three of the owners were M. B. Caster, Westerberg. Ramsay and ; and J. E. Parsons, pounds, 36.2 pounds dairy farm owned top 10 cows. Other W. C. Higenbotham, , Birdseyes; Richard Allen Rollins. Ed Minear brothers. . Mr. Eisenhower pointed out that in his latest letter to Soviet Prmier Nikolai Bulganin he sug gested the United States and Russia agree to ban future atom arms output rather than existing weapons. He said he did this because there is "not much that inspection can do about weapons already produced." Complete Control Not Possible He added that even new pro duction cannot be controlled "completely." But he said that knowledge of how much fission able material goes into a plant, how much comes out and how much is turned to peaceful uses wouia snow how much is miss ing or used somewhere else.' Strauss indicated to the sub committee that the United States has given top priority to devel oping some scientific means ,to detect atomic stockpiles. But he said that there is no known phys ical principal now that leads to a nope that such a means ever will be found. Strauss also emphasized that Mr. Eisenhowei's proposal to ban future atomic weapons produc tion is an ultimate rather than an immediate objective. Nothing finer in American taste...
