Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Alaska Voters Travel To Polls Washington (U.R) Pennsyl vania, Massachusetts and Alaska : voted today in presidential pri maries which may provide a few more clues about how the voters regard the 1956 campaign. Only Alaska, which has no vote next November, offered a head-on contest between Adlai E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Ke fauver, row the chief contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. Although neither has cam paigned in the territory, both were entered in the presidential 1 preference vote, which does not bind national convention dele gates. Delegates sharing six con vention votes will be picked later at the Democratic territor ial convention. The Pennsylvania vote may be McKay Criiicizes Morse, Kefauver Salem U.R) Douglas Mc Kay, candidate for the Republi can nomination for U.S. senator, had criticism for both Sen. Wayne Morse and Sen. Estes Kefauver here yesterday. "Estes Kefauver's description of Wayne Morse as the boy Stuff ing his finger in the political dik may well have supplied the answer Oregonians have long sought as to what Morse has been doing in Washington instead of working for Oregon interests," McKay said. McKay said that it was a good thing that Morse and Kefauver were not campaigning the state at the same time. ''Otherwise while Morse was screaming about issuance of patents in the Al S a r e n a case, somebody would be asking Kefauver why he wrote letters promising to do everything possible to get pat ents issue," the former interior secretary said. McKay today carried his cam paign to Clackamas county. He attended a 7 a.m. breakfast in the Bolton school, toured Ore gon City paper plants and met with Republican women before noon. . . . ... interpreted in terms of a popu larity contest between President Eisenhower and Stevenson, al though the state primary law prevented today's balloting from providing a clear test. , Only Republicans may vote in the GOP primary and Democrats in their primary. Among the state's 5.000,000 registered vot ers, the GOP has a bulge of about 350,000. In the Democratic preference vote, Stevenson was unopposed. On the Republican side, Mr. Eisenhower was entered against Sen. William F. Knowland of California, who was unable to withdraw by the time the Presi dent made his second term an nouncement. Mr. Eisenhower went to his Gettysburg, Pa., home to vote in today's primary. The President and Knowland also were both entered in the Alaskan GOP primary. The terri tory will send four delegates to the Republican convention. - Pennsylvania will have 74 delegate votes at the Democratic national convention and 70 at the Republican convention. Hitchcock Eager To Debate Morse Portland (U.P.) Phil Hitch cock said today he was "eager" to debate Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) on the question of the successes of the Eisenhower pro gram. Hitchcock, candidate for the Republican nomination for U. S. senator, said "any real Repub lican wouldjump at the oppor tunity to take on President Eis enhower's chief critic. The fact that. Morse has refused to an swer me himself is positive proof that he's afraid of jne . . . " Hitchcock said. The 51-year-old former state senator said Morse "has no grounds upon which he could at tack me." Hitchcock is scheduled to ap pear at Taft and Depoe Bay to morrow afternoon speech at Mc-Minnville. These are chosen in today's pri maries and by the state" party organization. Most Leaden Like Adlai Stevenson is now the choice of most of the Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania. The Massachusetts primaries provided no direct vote on pres idential candidates except by write-ins. Kefauver has urged his supporters to give write-in votes to House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack as a favor ite son while Americans for Democratic Action have urged a write-in for Stevenson. Massachusetts Democrats were picking delegates with 40 con vention votes in today's ballot ing, and the GOP was choosing 38 delegates. - Kefauver and Stevenson were both in Washington today, pre paring to resume their campaign tours. Stevenson, after a Wash ington address to a United Auto Workers Union workshop, goes to New York tonight to address a SlOO-a-plate fund-raising din ner and to Florida Thursday night before heading for the West Coast for swings through Oregon and California. Kefau ver returns to Florida" Sunday night.

Republicans Pushing Nation Into Farm Depression, Johnson Says Washington (U.R) Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon . B. Johnson changed,. Monday night that "The Republican Party now Is pushing us into a thitd farm depression." Johnson's charge was the Democratic party's formal an swer to President Eisenhower's recent talk explaining why he vetoed the Democratic-sponsored farm bill. The Democratic meas ure would have junked the ad: ministration's flexible price sup port system and restored sup ports at 90 per cent of parity. The President said he vetoed the bill because it was "con tradictory and self-defeating." He said rigid high supports would only lead to greater farm surpluses which depressed mar ket prices for farm goods in the first place. Uses Ike's Voice But Johnson, a possible con tender for the Democratic presi dential nomination, denied this. He used recordings of the Presi dent's own voice and TV image King Cole Takes Life Membership inNAACP Detroit !U.R) Singer Nat (King) Cole plunked down S500 for a life-time- membership in the NAACP yesterday, hoping to "set the record straight" on his rj'iews towards segregation. ' Cole claimed he is. was and always has been dedicated to eliminating "all forms of dis crimination, segregation and bigotry," and that remarks at- tributed to him concerning the NAACP were "misunderstood." The Negro crooner was quoted as declining to join the group when it asked him to become a member after he was attacked - by several white men at a Birm ingham, Ala., concert. in an effect to show that Mr. Eisenhower himself promised the farmers 90 per cent of parity supports in the 1952 campaign. Johnson accused the President of favoring high supports in "election years and low supports in non-election years." He noted that in vetoing flat 90 per cent supports, the Presi dent conceded the need for high er government subsidies to farm ers and announced he was using his own authority to raise sup ports on basic crops up to a range of from 82l2 to 87 per cent of parity. But Johnson said this will not be enough to get TO SPEAK AT SOC Ashland Frank Barnett. representing KBES - TV, will speak to Dr. Alwin Fellers' Eng lish composition class at South ern Oregon college at 9 a.m. Wednesday on the topic, "The Influence of Television as a Communication Medium." Edward G. Robinson's Son Attempts Suicide Santa Monica U.R) Actor Edward G. Robinson's son, Ed ward Jr., was in serious condi tion at Santa Monica Emergency hospital early today after at tempting to commit suicide, po lice reported. Officers called by a friend of young Robinson rushed to the victim's apartment and found him sprawled unconscious on the floor, a bottle of pills by his side. The 22-year-old son of the fa mous actor was taken to the; hospital by a radio car to have! his stomach pumped. - ! Police said David Lewis told them Robinson called him to; say he had taken the pills. farmers out of their financial plight. , Johnson said the . nation had farm ' depressions under two former Republican presidents, Presidents Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover. Cites 'Basic Difference' "The Republican Party now is pushing us into a third farm de pression," he said. "This hap pens because of . a basic differ ence between the two parties. The Democrats worry first about the individual. The Republicans forget the individual and worry only about the economic prob lem." Johnson used a film which showed Mr. Eisenhower stating at Kasson, Minn., that farmers' "Fair share is not merely 90 per cent of parity it is full parity." Mr. Eisenhower also was quoted as saying at Brookings, S.D., that "The Republican Par ly is pledged to the sustaining of the 90 per cent parity price sup port and it is pledged even more than that to helping the farmer obtain his full parity, 100 per cent parity, with the guaran tee in the price supports of 90." Rivers Inundate Idaho, Dakota, j Manitoba Areas By UNITED PRESS Srrine floods mingled with a winter comeback across the na-1 tion and Canada today. ! Torrents of melting snow sent j rivers over their banks in Idaho, North Dakota, and across a vast i area in Manitoba. Rains meas-j ured unofficially at 10 inches' flooded streets in Corpus Chris-1 ti, Tex. Cold weather held up other flood threats in the West, but put a wintry chill on much of the Midwest and East. A rash of snowstorms swept the Midwest and Eastern Sea board yesterday. Variety of Weather The weather threw every thing it had at Schroon Lake, N.Y., including swirling snow, sleet, hail, rain, driving winds, fog interspersed with warm breezes, and sunshine topped off by a rainbow. The worst spring floods were in the province of Manitoba, where a 58-mile stretch from Winnipeg westward was a huge lake. A 140-mile river valley from Winnipeg to Brandon was an expense of waste and restruc tion, with flood waters spilling into scores of farm homes and flowing over thousands of acres of rich farm land. The flood threat mounted in Idaho in the wake of the St. Joe river's break through one of three "dangerously weak" dikes below St. Maries.
