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.

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

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.
