r felX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE frldi7. April 20. 1958 Eisenhower May Lick Stevenson At Democrats1 Own Convention i I By LYLE C. WILSON j United Presi Correspondent i Washington (U.R) President "Eisenhower had to await election dav to defeat Adlai E. Stevenson in 195Z. hie, may lick Ste-j v e n s o n this j year in the Democr atic National con vention. The way some political experts see it is like this: Mr. Lyie c ttiuoo tj i s e n nower has borrowed heavily from some 'parts of the Roosevelt and Tru man deals to construct the foun dation of his own administra .tion's policy. In welfare legislation there Isn't a great deal of difference between Mr. Eisenhower's ap proach and the approach of his immediate predecessors. That is i iii fr'i itm true in the fields of minimum wages, school subsidies, social security, farm subsidies and such, somewhat less with respect to public housing. On farm sub sidies, for example, the differ ence between the administration and the Democrats was less how than how much. Mr. Eisenhower has been mov- Hatfield's Successor At Willamette Named Salem OI.R) Elmer C. Ri eck, former dean of men at Southern Methodist university, today was appointed to succeed State Sen. Mark Hatfield as dean of students at Willamette uni versity. Rieck, 44, is now taking grad uate work at the University of Wisconsin. Hatfield resigned his post when he became a candi date for secretary of state on the Republican ticket. ing the Republican Party at least to the middle of the road on such matters and, perhaps, a bit to the left of center. Ste venson has been moving in the other direction. Stevenson an nounced his intention to seek nomination last autumn and fol lowed up with a speech in which he said: "It is a time for catching our breath. Moderation is the spirit of the times." That was the party line of most of the Democratic leaders of Congress. Many of them from the South and from border states. Not so however in all parts of the North. Gov. Averell Harri man of New York snapped that there was no room in the Demo cratic Party for "moderation." Michigan's Gov. G. Mennen Wil liams shortly was saying that the Stevenson theme of modera tion simply would not do in 1956. In the minds of Williams, Harriman and, apparently Sen. Estes Kefauver, the Democrats must wage their 1956 campaign in the fervor of the old-time New Deal religion. And where Mr. Eisenhower has moved into former New Deal territory, tbey must stake out new territory of their own. That adds up in terms of prac- Legislative Counsel Predicts Bill Drafting Salem U.R) Legislative Counsel Sam Haley predicted to day that more bills would be drafted and ready for introduc tion when the 1957 Legislature opens than at any previous ses sion. Haley said he had received 52 requests for bill drafting to date compared with 21 received at about the same time before the legislative session two years ago. tical politics to a 1956 Demo cratic move toward outbidding the Republicans in such fields as welfare and farm subsidies. Where Stevenson would slow down a bit here and there, some northern and western Demon cratic leaders would move a little faster or farther. Mr. Ei senhower, for example, proposed a 90-cent minimum wage. The Democratic Congress made it a dollar and the Democratic plat form probably will propose a hike above that to 1.25. Stevenson is caught in the middle between Mr. Eisenhow er's liberalized Republican Party and the Democrats who want to put some pocketbook welfare and instant civil rights bait in the 1956 Democratic platform. Mr. Eisenhower seems to have maneuvered the moderate Stev enson into that spot. If so, he has boosted the chances of some one far less moderate to be nom inated for president Democrats this year. by the Argentine Ministers Approve Tunnel Project Buenos Aires U.R) The Ar gentine Council of Ministers ap proved Thursday construction of a $20,000,000 vehicular tun nel under the Parana river. It will link the capitals of the two important provinces of Sante Fe and Entre Rios. It will be paid off through tolls. Color Blind Youngster Sees Coor on TV Screen Creston, la. U.R) Mrs. Leo Ankeny said today her seven-year-old color blind son insists he sees colors on their black and white television set. Mrs. Ankeny's vision is nor mal and she can't see colors on the set. But her husband says he can. He's color blind too. TOAD TROUBLE -- Mio, Mich. (U.R) Ray Kinney decided to investigate when the electric pump at his well near here seemed much too busy. He found two toads sitting on the switch, causing the pump fre quent but frantic exertion. Corvallis Youngster Killed by Truck Corvallis - (U.R) Leo Coch ran, Jr., nine-year-old Corvallis youth, was injured fatally here today when his bicycle was struck by a plumber's truck as the boy was enroute to school. The Benton county sheriff's office said the truck, driven by 52-year-old Leonard H. Wilson of Corvallis, had just passed a log truck and was still in the passing lane when the Cochran boy apparently swerved in front of it. The accident occurred on a suburban street just west of Cor vallis about 8:15 a.m., and the boy died in a hospital 40 min utes later. Local Couple Leaves For Trip in Model A Mr. and Mrs. James O. (Dutch) Oakes, route 1, box 435, Med ford, left this afternoon for a vacation trip to Atlantic, la., in a 25-year-old Model A Ford which Oakes bought in Corning, la., 25 years ago.
