Eisenhower May Lick Stevenson At Democrats1 Own Convention

By LYLE C. WILSON

i Washington (U.R) President
"Eisenhower had to await election

in 195Z. hie,

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

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.
