EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE

Stevenson Accuses
Administration of
Eluding Responsibility
New York (U.R; Adlai Ste
venson accused the Eisenhower
administration Wednesday night
of shirking its "moral respon
sibility" in the fields of civil
rights and racial desegregation.
The Democratic presidential
aspirant charged the administra
tion has failed to contribute to
wards an atmosphere in which
school desegragtion could be
carried out "in tranquility and
order."
He also proposed overhauling
the internal security system to
protect rights of persons sus
pected of disloyalty.
About 2,200 Attend
Stevenson's civil rights attack
was made at a "tribute to Ste
venson" dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel. About 2,200 per
sons paid $100 a plate to help
finance Stevenson's campaign
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
President Eisenhower was not
mentioned by name in Steven
son's address. Neither was Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
whom Stevenson implied shared
responsibility for "hate and hys
teria" during the government's
loyalty security investigations.
In one of his most direct at
tacks against the President, Ste
venson said, "The achievement
of equal rights for all citizens
is, the great unfinished business
before the United States."
Amplifying the position he
took in Portland, Ore., Steven
son said the Supreme Court's
decision requiring the desegre
gation of schools would require
social changes in some areas
and would cause "massive prob
lems" of adjustment.
Place of Moral Leadership
Stevenson said the President
has the duty in such circum
stances to reduce tensions and
create a climate in which the
changes ordered by the court
may be accomplished peacefully.
"The presidency is, above all,
a place of moral leadership,"
Stevenson said.
"Yet in these months of cru
cial importance no leadership
has been provided. The immense
prestige and influence of the of
fice has been withheld from
those who honestly seek to carry
out the law in a gathering storm
and against rising resistance."

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Feature Writer
Washington (U.R) The traffic
toll in Europe is appalling.
But my faithful informant at
Army head-
quarters there
in ureniidjiy, at
last, are doing
a little some
thing about it.
Two things, in
fact.

creed that it is agin' the law for
girls to ride "side-saddle" on
motorcycles or motorbikes.
The reason given in the of
ficial directive is that if a lady
rides across the tie-bar she upsets
the balance. My friend reports
another hazard. If the wind is
in the wrong direction, the lady's

Rail Rale Increase
Suspension Ordered
Salem (U.R) Public Utilities
Commissioner Charles H. Helt
zel today suspended proposed
six per cent rate increases in all
intrastate rail rates except for
grain and grain products.
At the same time, the commis
sion ordered a hearing on the
proposed increases for May 8
in Salem.
The commission said that since
there appeared to be no opposi
tion to the grain and grain prod
ucts rate hikes, they should not
be suspended.
Originally the railroad filed
tariffs for a seven per cent in
crease in intrastate rates. These
were suspended by the commis
sion. Then the carriers filed for
the six per cent increase.
iast March 19, the Portland
grain exchange voted that rail
road freight rates intrastate on
grain and grain products should
be made uniform in Oregon with
those' applicable to interstate
traffic.
Crown Zellerbach
Opens Pilot Plant
San Francisco U.R) Crown
Zellerbach Corporation today
announced the opening at Camas,
Wash., of a pilot plant to pro
duce dimethyl sulfide from
waste materials of the kraft
pulp-making process. .
The plant, which employs a
Swedish process held exclusive
ly in North America by Zeller
bach, has an eventual capacity
of 2,000,000,000 pounds a year,
the company said.
It is expected to produce dime
thyl sulfide in larger quantities
and at a lower cost than ever
before. Dimethyl sulfide is used
as a sulphur carrier in agricul
tural and rubber chemicals, as a
base for certain solvents, and
as an odorant or masking agent.
Oregon Stamp Paper
Due for Recognition
Salem UJ.R) The world's
only semi-weekly stamp collec
tors' newspaper an Oregon
product will be given national
recognition next week at the
fifth international philatelic ex
hibition in New York as the re
sult of a "plug" by Gov.-Elmo
Smith.
The governor sent greetings
from Oregon to the exhibition
in which he made special men
tion of Western Stamp Collec
tor, published at Albany. The
paper goes twice a week to sub1
scribers in every state and about
100 other countries.
Edited by William W. Wylie,
the paper is the only stamp col
lector's periodical on the Westj
skirts are apt to wind up around
her neck distracting men driv
ers coming from the other direc
tion. The second move to pare the
traffic toll is adoption of the
American custom of promoting
a safe driving week.
My friend, an Army major,;
looks on all of this with a cer
tain degree of misgiving.
Beyond the Limit
"Personal safety," he reports
from long experience, "means
nothing to the European. If he is
legally right, he will push his
luck to the limit. More often than
not beyond the limit."
The major says without fear
of being sued for libel that bi
cyclists mostly are out of their
heads. Mostly, what they do is
legal, but dangerous.
"Motorcyclists are just as
bad," he told me. "Statistics show
that one in every 10 European
motorcylists is dead like a dodo
before he ever gets his bike paid
for."
The fellow or a gal on a pump
ing kind of bike has the right
of way at all times.
"If you are running along at
an easy 50 miles an hour and
there is a bike in front of you,
all the biker has to do to turn is
to give you hand signal," the of
ficer said. "If he's 20 feet ahead,
you're lucky if you don't hit him
because you never know
whether he means he's running
off to the right or left."
Hills and Curves
The American soldier is taught
not to pass on hills or curves.
To the European, that means
nothing. When a man looks at
his rearview mirror over there
and sees a 15-ton truck followed
by" a 15-torr trailer barreling
down on him, he has one of two
choices.
Said my friend in his memo:
"Try to outrun the guy, or get
off the road."
There are no speed limits, and
some of the . souped-up midget
cars have a lot of power. There
are no inspections of, cars for
lights or brakes. -And there are
precious few cops to enforce
what few traffic laws there are.
"If the safety councils in
America" had' that to contend
with," my friend relates, "they
would' puff their wigs, turn in
their credentials and move into
the woods.
The major hopes that the
safety campaign in Germany
catches on and fast. Because of
the large number of accidents,
it cost him $245 for one year
alone to insure his car against
damage
"But as of now," he adds, "it
looks like a good investment."
Nixon's Friends Sure That He Wants Number 2 Spot on Ticket
Ft. Rock Basin Views
Slated for Discussion
Corvallis U.R Representa
tives of Oregon State College
and residents of the Fort Rock
basin will talk over their con
flicting views on economic pros
pects of the basin in a meeting
May 4.
Findings of an OSC research
study into the agricultural pros
pects and economic future of
the basin, published in the winter
issue of "Oregon's Agricultural
Progress," a farm quarterly
printed by the college, resulted
in court action in which an in
junction was sought against fu
ture articles.
The injunction suit was re
jected by Lane county court but
the college has voluntarily with
held any further articles until
attempts can be made to bridge
the gap between the conflicting
opinions.
Residents of the area contend
that they have been hurt eco
nomically by the. published ar
Washington (U.R Friends
of Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon are sure that Nixon wants
the number two spot on the Re
publican presidential ticket
again.
President Eisenhower told his
news conference Wednesday
that Nixon had not given him a
definite answer yet on whether
he wants to be Mr. Eisenhow
er's second-term running mate.
On March 7 the President said
he had told Nixon to "chart his
own course" in regard to his
political future and report back
to him. But Wednesday he said
he had received no answer from
Nixon on which he would re
gard as definitive.
Friends of Nixon said, how
ever, there is little doubt he
would seek the vice-presidential
nomination. They noted these
developments in Nixon's behalf:
Popular With Voters
The President has said he
would be happy to have Nixon
on the ticket.

the balloting was not for a vice

with the voters.
Most Republican state and na

numerous polls that they want
Nixon again.
Other political news:
Adlai E. Stevenson, candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, accused Mr. Eisen
hower Wednesday night of fail
ing to give the nation "moral
leadership" toward racial de
segregation. Sen. Estes Kefauver, in a
speech to the Vassar College
faculty at ' Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,
Wednesday, charged that rela
tions among nations of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi
zation have "deteriorated" dur
ing the Eisenhower administra
tion. He called for passage of his
Senate' resolution which would
promote a top-level NATO con
vention to broaden the treaty or
ganization's functions in eco
nomic and political fields.
