0 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 22, 1958 urvey ai Can Field didate Fisticuff Threat Over Immigration Measure Quelled Washington (U.R Bills to give Immigration Service jobs to two retired generals nearly led to a fist fight in the House yes terday. But the House finally passed the bills and sent them to the White House without any bloody noses or black eyes. An exchange of blows ap peared imminent when Rep. Al fred D. Sieminski (D-N.J.) asked Rep. Wayne L. Hays (D-O.): "You want to meet me outside?" Hays started to rise from his seat, but another congressman persuaded him to sit down. Special Conditions The legislation permits Brig. Gen. Edwin P. Howard and Maj. Gen. Frank H. Partridge to be come assistant commissioners of immigration, ynder present law retired officers can't take federal posts except under special con ditions. The argument started when Hays accused Lt. Gen. Joseph M. Swing, Immigration Service chief, of "arrogance." He said his remarks about the general were "limited only by what is printable in the Congressional Record." Hays said he had been warned "not to cross" Swing, a West Point classmate of President Eisenhower, because the commis sioner might retaliate by inter fering with his efforts to get citizenship for his . adopted two-year-old German daughter. Fighting General "I'll guarantee that if he did do that, when I got hold of him he won't be physically able to hold the job from thereon." Sieminski, who said he served in the Army with Swing, said Swing's a "red, white and blue" American, a "fighting general" and "no cream puff." Sieminski said that' if "You approached him with a chip on your shoulder, he'll knock your block off." THE SUNNIER SIDE As their elders began to fight their way out of a paralyzing snowstorm that has affected their jobs, schools, transportation and their economy, these New York City youngsters take advantage of the unexpected classroom holiday. At least 127 were dead from Maine to West Virginia in the storm, which dumped up to 21 inches of snow on 14 states. First Soviet Nuclear Explosion Reported In September-1949 Bail Sel for Four In Bogus Money Ring Portland (U.R) U.S. Com missioner Robert A. Leedy yes terday set bail on four persons a r r e s t e d ' oh counterfeiting charges and ordered them to appear for a hearing tomorrow. Accused were Margaret Mcin tosh, 19; Tom L. Mishler; Gor don August Vizard, 54, and Or ville Quincy Mitchell, 32, all res idents of the Clackamas area. Bail on Mitchell, ' former Sweet Home police chief, was set at $15,000. Bail on the oth ers was set at $10,000 each. The four face prosecution on two federal counts, one charg ing they photographed a $20 bill and the other charging them with possession of a metal plate made from the photograph with intention of printing counterfeit moary. By UNITED PRESS Background on atomic tests Russia held its first nuclear test in September, 1949. Since then, it has steadily narrowed the gap between tests series. From the time of the first until the second, two years elapsed. Between the second and the third, there was a gap of 22 months; between the third and fourth, a year; between the fourth and .fifth, less than a year. , Gap Reduced In the fifth test progrm which started last August, the gap has been reduced at least two months. The Atomic Energy Commission first disclosed the fifth program was being con ducted on Aug. 4, 1955. It re ported further explosions in the series on Sept. 24, Nov. 10, Nov. 23 and Wednesday night. Although the AEC has report ed only five shots in the series beginning last August, there ap parently were more. On Jan. 26 of this year, the Japanese reported an upsurge of radioac tivity, leading to speculation that there was another explos ion in the Soviet series. And on Feb. 25, the Norwegian Defense Ministry reported a nuclear ex plosion in Siberia between Jan. 23-Feb. 7. Not U. S. Policy It is not U. S. policy to report each shot in a Soviet test series or, . necessarily, whether . an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb was set off. The only Rus sian H-bomb explosion specifi cally reported by the AEC was the one mentioned in an August, 1953, announcement. This country learns of Rus sian nuclear explosions through instruments capable of detecting unusual increase in radioactiv ity and measuring shock waves and sometimes from persons coming from behind the Iron Curtain. Guerrillas Battle French in Algeria Algiers (U.R) The hit and run guerrilla war in Algeria erupted briefly into large scale fighting yesterday when French troops battled 200 guerrillas near the provincial town of Chevreuil, it was reported to day. Two French soldiers and 10 Arabs were killed in the clash, which accounted for more than a third of the 35 fatalities re ported in Algeria yesterday. Others killed during the day included a French merchant murdered in his shop, four French soldiers shot down in an ambush 60 miles south of Bone, and 18 guerrillas slain in scat tered clashes elsewhere in Algeria. Welcome, brother, if you're a Bourbon Man Youth Being Urged To Join Green Guard Boys and girls between 8 and 16 years of age are being urged to join the Oregon Green Guard, the youth division of the Keep Oregon Green association, ac cording to Albert K. Wiesen danger, executive secretary.

He conferred this morning with L. L. (Doc) Simpson, chair man of the Jackson county association. By RAYMOND LAHR Uniied Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Anti-Ke-fauver Democrats began survey ing the field of dark Morses and favorite sons today for a presi dential candidate. There was a widspread feeling among these Democrats who dominate the party organization that Adlai E. Stevenson had suf fered a serious and perhaps fatal defeat in Tuesday's presidential primary in Minnesota.. He lost to the underdog, Sen. Estes Ke fauver of Tennessee. This reaction was evident among that wide segment bf party professionals who favored Stevenson or at least considered him more acceptable than Ke- fauver. But they also were ask ing, "If not Adlai, who?" Six Names Mentioned The names being tossed around included: Gov. Averell Harriman J of New York, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, of Texas, Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri, Gov. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio, Gov. G. Men nen Williams of Michigan and Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Okla homa. There was no evidence yet of an organized stop-Kefauver movement but one can be expect ed if Stevenson fails to get off the ground. Kefauver is out of favor with many southern Democrats be cause they regard him as a south erner who has turned against them. And he is unpopular with many Democratic professionals because he campaigned against the "bosses" four years ago, when he lost the nomination to Stevenson, and is doing the same again. To Work Harder Stevenson responded to his de feat by declaring his intention to "work harder than ever" for the nomination.-He must slug if he expects to reverse the result in Minnesota, where the backing of the state organization seemed to stack the cards in his favor. Kefauver flew from Minne sota Wednesday to the far west. After stops in Montana and Washington, he was headed for California for more campaign ing. He hopes to knock out Ste venson in the June 5 California primary in which 68 delegate votes are at stake. The Minnesota result on the heels of the New Hampshire pri mary last week generated much uncertainty among Democrats. Stevenson refused a direct con test in New Hampshire, but Ke fauver's national convention delegate slate swamped one pledged to him. - - A sifting of Democratic reac tion to these developments showed: . . . 1. Stevenson backers disagreed as to whether their candidate had been mortally wounded. Some say they did not see how he could recoup and others said they would wait for the May 29 Florida and June 5 California primary contests between him and Kefauver. 2. Anti - Kefauver Democrats disagreed on whether he would be nominated. Some said there are not enough primaries for him to win a majority of the dele gates and . that the convention will not take him. Others asked how he could be stopped if he should go to the convention far out in front of other possibilities. 3. Stevenson's "let's talk sense to the American people" type of campaigning has failed to set any prairie fires of sup port among rank and file Democrats. Stevenson , Promises To Step Up Tempo of VICTORY SMILE Tennes see's Democratic Senator Estes Kefauver is all smiles at Minneapolis after scoring stunning upset victory over Adlai Stevenson in the Min nesota presidential primary. Third Party Talk Revived in South Atlanta (U.R) Talk of a third political party for disgruntled Southern Democrats was begin ning anew today as Dixie's poli tical leaders viewed Sen. Estes Kefauver's Minnesota victory with "surprise" but little change of heart. In South Carolina, where a successful bolt from the Demo cratic party was started in 1948, the way was cleared for the formation of another third party in the coming presidential election. At Columbia, S.C., the South Carolina Democratic Convention passed a resolution that would allow the state's delegates to throw their support to a third party in the event the Demo cratic nominee or the party flat- form is distasteful to the South, The South Carolina Demo crats also proposed a southwide stand at the convention to make easier the Southern demand for a policy of continued state's rights. Most of the supporters of Ad lai E.- Stevenson in the South took the atitude that the Minne sota primary was not a "true test," but some backers of the former Illinois governor admit ted that Stevenson now will have to fight hard to win the nomination.

Evetts Haley said today he has received only four letters since becoming a candidate for governor of Tex as although other candidates re port getting "avalanches" of let ters. Haley said two of his letter writers were for him, one bit terly opposed to him and the fourth couldn't make up his mind. EEK-END ecial! jnarion Chicago (U.R) , Adlai E.j Stevenson set forth today on a come-from-behind campaign to get the Democratic presidential nomination despite his stunning Minnesota primary defeat. Stevenson promised to step up the tempo of his campaign and "work harder than ever." But he refused to change his policies or try to out-promise other candidates. "I have tried to tell the people the truth," he said in a news conference Wednesday. "I have not promised them the moon and I never will. This may not be the way to win elections, but it is, in my opinion, the way to conduct a political campaign in a democracy." No Longer Front Runner Stevenson admitted he is no longer ' the front-runner in the nomination race and faces an uphill battle to overcome Sen. Estes Kefauver's Minnesota victory. The Minnesota returns were still incomplete because some of them must be brought in by canoe from north woods pre cincts. But they already assured Kefauver 26 of the state's 30 Democratic National Convention votes. With 3,573 of the state's 3,786 precincts counted, Kefauver had 234,551 votes to Stevenson's 179,452. Stevenson conceded Kefauver "the first round," but vowed he isn't beaten yet. He pointed out that the Democrats polled a 2-to- 1 heavier vote than the Republi cans and said "If anyone should be worried, Ike should be even more worried than I." Eyes Florida, California The Illinoisan based his come back hopes on victories over Ke fauver in the May 29 Florida primary and the June 5 Cali fornia primary. He admitted all hope would be lost if Kefauver wins both of tnese.. "It 'would be a little late to withdraw then it would be all over," he said. The Stevenson camp also kept a worried eye on Gov. Averell Harriman of New York, an "in active" candidate for the nomin ation. Stevenson aides charged that a secret "stop Adlai" meet ing of Democrats was held in Denver two weeks ago for the purpose bf boosting Harriman. COMMUNISTS KILLED Tokyo (U.R) Communist Radio Peiping reported today that Nationalist artillery killed two civilians and injured a third Tuesday.
