Sparkman made the comment to a reporter as the racial issue raised a new threat to Democrat ic Party harmony in this year's election. This threat came in a declaration released by Southern members of Congress Sunday night protesting the Supreme civil rights platform plank which would not split the party. Four years earlier, many South ern delegates walked out of the international convention in pro test against the civil rights plank written into the party platform.

Monday for Mr. and Mrs. Herman Henry and former resident of Shady Cove, now of San Fernando, Calif., has been visiting with her girl friend and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hodges.

Ajkeer Magic Star, a keeshpnd owned by Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Siler of Far Hills Ranch, Eagle Point, was judged best of breed and placed fourth in the non sporting group at the recent Umpqua Kennel Club show at Roseburg. The Silers have raised this dog from 3 months. Their female keeshond was judged champion at the San Diego show. Mrs. Siler has had the dogs at obedience training schools in Medford. The keeshond is a rare where dog with only 558 registered dogs in the U.S. man said: "We always have some difficulty dealing with the whole field of civil rights. I hope we can find a middle ground where each side can understand the position of the other." Chairman Paul M. Butler of the Democratic National Com mittee said recently that he expects -the party platform to take' "a clear and firm stand" in support of the Supreme Court's school decision. How such a plank can be written and still be acceptable to the South erners remains to be seen. Sparkman was asked if he shared the belief of some Demo ocratic party strategists that Democrats must" recapture the electoral votes of the South if they are to have any chance of defeating President Eisenhower. South "Highly Important" 'T think it is highly important that the South be back in the Democratic column this year," he said, "and I believe it will be." The Democrats lost four states to Mr. Eisenhower in 1952 and four to the States Rights Party in 1948. Mr. Eisenhower also car ried all but two of the normally Democratic border states in 1952. The 11 states of the old South have 128 electoral votes, almost half of the 266 needed to elect a president. There are 47 more in the border states "of West Virg inia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Miss ouri, New Mexico and Arizona. If the Democrats could bank on those 175 electoral votes, they would still need 91 to win the presidency. Some of them figure that a pickup of farm votes in states like Illinois and Ohio, they already have a strong urban vote, will provide the margin of victory. ork Starts on Third Rocket Stage of IGY Artificial Satellite Washington U.R) Work is starting on a sort of souped up and complicated roman candle which will give the earth satel lite its final push through space at 18,000 miles an hour. The "roman candle" is the third rocket stage of the fiery machine with which this coun try hopes to launch the world's first artificial moon next year. Contracts long since were awarded for the other stages A new one, it was learned, has now been let for the last and trickiest and most critical stage. It was not immediately learned who got the award for stage three. Project Moving Ahead But the mere fact that the award has been made indicates that Project Vanguard the earth satellite program is mov ing ahead in reasonably high gear. The satellite undertaking is the most spectacular phase of the 1957-58 international geo physical year, a multi-nation ef fort to amass new knowledge of the earth and its star, the sun. The hope of scientists is that the first satellite will be shot into its orbit some. time between July 1 and Sept. 30 next year. The launching site will be Pat rick Air Force Base, Fla., U.S. test center for intercontinental missiles. Navy Building Project Nobody knows whether that goal will be met. But some of the men closest to the project told the United Press they are operating on the theory that it will. If there, is an initial fail ure, or even several "We'll try again." There will be no "tech nological sacrifices just to meet a target date." The Navy,- in charge of Proj ect Vanguard, has assigned to the Martin Co. of Baltimore the job of getting the '- satellite launcher ready. Subcontracts for Austin, Morris Car Prices Increase London UP) The British Motor Corp., makers of the Aus tin and the Morris automobiles, announced a whopping 72 per cent increase for the home mar ket today.

Malone (R-Nev.), has asked police to help -him find a lariat he left in a Washington taxi-cab. Police said Malone told them the lariat only cost him S5 but is anxious to get it back be cause "it takes six months to break one in." the first and second rockets were awarded to General Elec tric Co., and Aero-jet-General Corp. of Azusa, Calif.

It will be only about 20 inches across. It will weigh about 21.5 pounds. jffy CONDON LECTURER George George Beadle of the depart ment of biology at California In stitute of Technology will deliv er the 1956 Condon Lecture at the University of Oregon.
