Nixon Visualized as Chief GOP
Barnstorming Campaigner in Fail
Washington (U.K Repub
licans today visualized Vice
President Richard M. Nixon as
their chief barnstorming cam
paigner this fall.
They assigned Nixon that role
as soon as he announced Thurs
day that he again wanted the
number two spot on the Repub
lican ticket.
Democrats saw Nixon in the
ame role. They immediately
began flailing him for campaign
tactics which they felt were un
fair in the past and would be in
the future.
Republicans said Nixon was a
"natural" for the strenuous,
barnstorming type of campaign
ing which President Eisenhower
has said he would not engage in
this fall.
There was no doubt that the
GOP National Convention
would again accept Nixon as
Mr. Eisenhower's running mate
when it meets in San Francisco
Aug. 20.
Confers With President
Before announcing his candi
dacy Thursday, Nixon conferred
at length with the President at
the White House. Afterwards,
Mr. Eisenhower, who had told
Nixon earlier to "chart his own
course," let it be known that he
was "delighted" with Nixon's
decision. The President's en
dorsement virtually assured
Nixon the nomination.
Other political news:
Adlai Stevenson, . candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, said he was "not
surprised" by Nixon's announce
ment. He said Mr. Eisenhower's
approval of Nixon was "just one
more point where he and I dis
agree." Stevenson campaigned
in Miami, Fla., Thursday night
as part of his drive to win
Florida's May 29 primary.
Stevenson's rival for the nom
ination, Sen. Estes Kefauver,
flew to Spokane, Wash., today
for a series of speeches. Kefauver
said in Pittsburgh Thursday
that he is "very much more
ahead" in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination than he
was at this time four years ago.
Another candidate for the
Democratic nomination, New
York Gov. Averell Harriman,
would not comment on Nixon's
candidacy other than to ask
whether Nixon is "getting a new
campaign manager." He appar
ently referred to Murray Choti
ner of Los Angeles, Nixon's
1952 campaign manager. Choti
ner has been subpoenaed before
a Senate subcommittee to testify
about a $5,000 legal fee he re
ceived from a military uniform
maker being investigated by
the government.
In Los Angeles, Chotiner said
he "really couldn't say" wheth
er he would again handle Nix
on's campaign. "Weve never
discussed the matter," he said.
Nixon's political future had
been a subject of speculation be
cause some Republicans . be
lieved he had offended inde
pendent voters and would weak
en the ticket this year. But he
has been popular generally with
the party professionals, who re
gard him as a vigorous cam
paigner of proven skill.
At the same time, Nixon has
been unpopular with some vet
eran Democrats,, who believed
that, at least by implication, he
put a treason label on their en
tire party during previous cam
paigns. In any event, Nixon is now set
to be the No. 1 GOP traveller
this fall as the Republicans try
to hang on to the White House
and regain control of Congress.
Mr. Eisenhower has said he
thinks it improper for a presi
dent to carry on a barnstorming
campaign. The GOP organiza
tion now sees Mr. Eisenhower
as making half a dozen television
speeches from various cities, to
which he will travel by plane.
Support of Library Bill
Urged by Local Officials
Miss Helen Webster, Medford j matching the grants to make
public librarian, today urgeai available dooks ana oiner n-
support of federal legislation to
help the states bring library
services to 27 million Americans
in rural areas currently with
out such services. -
"The free public library sym
bolizes educational opportunity
in America. Its books, magazines
and newspapers keep Americans
informed so that they may vote
intelligently. It helps children
in their school work, young peo
ple needing vocational informa
tion, businessmen requiring facts
and know-how, and adults seek
ing continued education, jecrea-
tion, and inspiration, she saia
"Citizens who recognize that
we all gain when our neighbors
have a better understanding of
the problems on which they
vote, when rural residents have
the same access to library serv
ices as urban dwellers, should
write now to their Congressmen
and ask a favorable vote on the
Library Services Bill," she add
ed. The bill, introduced by Mrs.
Edith Green of Oregon, is being
sponsored by members of both
parties."
The bill would grant 87,500,

Nixon Planning
H-Bomb Test Trip
Washington (U.R) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon said
today he is trying to "fit into my
schedule" a trip to the Pacific
to observe the forthcoming H
bomb tests.
Nixon told reporters he is ex
ploring the possibility of going
sometime after June 15. The
first shot is scheduled for May
8.
The vice president said
chances are now "remote" on
his going on from the testing
grounds for a "good will" tour
of Asian and Mid-East countries.
Nixon said such a goodwill
tour would be a five or six
week affair. Since there likely
will not be much time between
adjournment of Congress and
the Republican convention, it
would be difficult for him to
find the time for such a trip.
Nixon said that Atomic
Energy Commission officials
have advised that a trip to the
bomb testing areas would take
about 12 days, out and back. He
said he is trying to pare that
down.
Nixon made it clear that his
trip to the testing ground has
President Eisenhowers approval.
He wouldn't "even explore" the
trip witnout Mr. Eisenhower's
okay, he said.
Festival Was Mosl
Successful Held,
Gene Ferrel Says
Gene Ferrel, president of the
Pear Blossom Festival associa
tion, said the 1956 event was
the most successful in the three
years of the Festival in Rogue
valley.
The association held its final
report meeting to evaluate re
sults of this year's event Wednes
day. Ferrel said "the response of
the communities, the merchants
and the pear industry was the
best ever experienced and the
support given by the public was
most gratifying."
Self Supporting
The non-profit group, which
plans the Festival each year,
noted that the Festival was self
supporting from a financial
standpoint. Members of the as
sociation noted that with in
creased participation next year,
more events could be planned
to improve the Festival.
A new feature of the event
this year was the inauguration
of a Pear Blossom route around
the valley. The route was worked
out by Cliff Cordy, county horti
cultural agent, and Russ Jami
son, public relations representa
tive of the Rogue Piver Valley
Traffic association. The feature
will be expanded and included
as a regular part of the Festival.
Ferrel said the association is
interested in hearing from resi
dents who have suggestions for
improving the Festival. Corres
pondence may be pdrpcci 4i

care of the Jackson Cou..y

Landmark Being Torn Down Here
Another Medford landmark is
in the process of being torn
down. Work is under way in dis
mantling Bergman's Shop, a ma
chine and repair shop at 118
South Bartlett st.
The business was started by
Walt Bergman in 1930 in an old
livery stable at Its present loca
tion. In 1950 Bergman died and
his son, Delbert, has carried on
the business. In 1934 the late
Walt Bergman purchased a piece
of property, located next to his
original location, from Mrs.
Aletha Vawter and expanded
the business.
Bergman is moving his busi
ness to a new prefabricated steel
building at 3012 Crater Lake
ave., where he will do all types
of machine repairs and will have
portable welding equipment for
"out of shop" work.
The Bartlett st. property has
been purchased by Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Culbertson Jr. Culbert
son said this morning that he
plans to erect a business build
ing on the site. The new build
ing, if plans materialize, will be
about 150 by 100 feet, Culbert
son said.
About one-half the states ob
serve 10 or more legal holidays
each year.
