seclusion today in their honey

they arrived here at 6 p.m. Sun

couples. But she brightened and
posed for photographers before
leaving for their home.
They were met by about 150
persons, mostly vacationing
Americans at Nassau's palm
ringed airport just outside the
city. Daniel had only a "no
comment now" to questions by
reporters.
The Daniels bypassed customs
and immigration clearance and
were whisked away in a taxi
to the mansion lent them by
French Count Guy de la Fre
gionnaire, a diplomatic official.

Columbia, Willamette
Flood Stage Waited
Portland (U.R) Weather
bureau forecasters said today
that the Columbia and Willam
ette rivers would reach flood
stage at Portland this week.
Forecasters said the Columbia
will top flood stage at Vancouver
Tuesday and the Willamette is
expected to reach the 18-foot
mark at Portland Wednesday.
Little serious flooding is ex
pected, however. The rise of the
Columbia is attributed to the
lowering of the pool behind
Grand Coulee dam to allow for
greater storage capacity during
the peak runoff season.

Oregon Primary Campaign Steps
Ud; Less Than Four Weeks Left
By UNITED PRESS
Less than four weeks were
left today before Oregon's May
18 primary as the campaign
pace stepped up.
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.)
made a flying visit to Portland
and said "the fat cats and big
mules of the predatory inter
ests" will pour money into Ore
gon this fall in an effort to de
feat Sen. Wayne Morse for
reelection.
Kefauver told Oregon Young
Democrats Saturday night that
Douglas McKay, former interior
secretary seeking the GOP nom
ination to oppose Morse, "per
sonifies" the Eisenhower admin
istration which, he said, "has
put a ceiling on the progress
of the west ... by its failures
in the field of natural resources
development."
Stevenson Due
"I understand that Douglas
McKay is the candidate of Presi
dent Eisenhower and the Repub
lican national committee," Kef
auver said and whether or not
he wins the Republican nomina
tion, he "is going to be the
campaign issue."
McKfey is opposed by Phil
Hitchcock, Elmer Deetz and
George Altvater for the GOP
nomination.
Adlai Stevenson, who will
compete with Kefauver for
Democratic write-in votes at the
primary, is scheduled to arrive
in Portland next Saturday for
an intensive three-day cam
paign, according to his state
campaign managers. Stevenson
has meetings scheduled at St.

McKay in Willamette Valley
McKay today carried his at
tack on Sen. Mo-se into the
Willamette valley. He attended
yesterday's annual wMte water
boat race down the McKenzie
riv.r. Today he was to speak
at Independence at noon, make
a handshaking tour at Dallas
in the afternoon and speak at
Mt. Angel tonight. Tuesday he
will be in Clackamas county.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.), said in Washington,
D.C., yesterday that the Oregon
Republican primary race for the
U.S. Senate is a "phantom elec
tion" because "the two most
vocal candidates (McKay and
Hitchcock) are afraid to run
against each other.
Neuberger said he thought
"all right-thinking liberal Re
publicans should vote for Deetz
because "Mr. Deetz is conducting
a clean campaign."

PTA
Eagle Point Eagle Point
Elementary Parent-Teacher as
sociation will meet Tuesday,
April 24, at 8 p.m. in the school
library.
The top-level commisison said
in its report to President Eisen
hower that more help should be
given to ex-GIs who were badly
disabled in uniform or whose
disabilities result directly from
their service to their country.
Bradley Called To Explain
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, World
War II hero and former veterans
administrator, was called before
the House Veterans Committee
to explain its proposals.
His commission braved the
wrath of the big veterans or
ganizations with its recommend
ed crackdown on non-service
connected benefits. It ran head
on into a fast-rolling drive by
the American Legion and Vet
erans of Foreign Wars to estab
lish what would amount to a
general service pension based
on age and a liberalized test of
need.
Without referring to these or
ganizations by name, the com
mission said the general pension
proposal would be "national
folly," leading to a "tremen
dous" increase in veterans cost.
Would Eliminate Pensions
. In view of expanded Social
Security coverage, it said, ex
GIs with non-service disabili
ties should be considered in the
same category as other citizens
and their pensions and other
benefits should be "minimized
and gradually eliminated."
The commission was appoint
ed by Mr. Eisenhower last year
to look into all benefits granted
the nation's 22,000.000 veterans.
The President pointed out in his
January budget message that
costs are increasing and nearly
half the population potentially is
entitled to benefits of some kind.
Navy's 'Demon' Plane
Money 'Total Lossf
Washington (U.R) The Sen
ate Prepardness Subcommittee
claims that 5265,000,000 the
Navy spent on the original F3H
"Demon" jet fighter was a
"total loss."
It said the only return on the
Navy's money has been "lessons
learned." It said one lesson was
that the Navy must have "better
sales resistance to backlog mind
ed manufacturers."
The subcommittee, headed by
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson (Tex.), rejected
the Navy's argument that even
tual delivery of a successor
plane made the project a suc
cess. It took a new swipe at the
"disconcerting" F3H program in
an official report. The subcom
mittee had issued a previous re
port on the Navy's attempt to
speed production of a fighter
plane during the Korean war
that would outperform the Com
munist MIG.
