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)

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

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.

Gruenther Quizzes
Premier Mollet
Paris -(U.R) Gen. 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.

. 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.
