Hitchcock is gaining ground in his fight to capture the Republican senatorial nom ination in the Oregon primary this Friday, according to Author Joe Miller writing in the current issue of the Reporter magazine. Many Republicans who nor mally might favor Hitchcock's opponent, former Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay, be lieve that Hitchcock has a much better chance of beating Sen. Wayne Morse in November, Mil ler said. "They feel that Mc Kay's stewardship of the Inter ior Department is vulnerable to the campaign Morse would make," he wrote. He quotes Oregon's GOP chairman Wendell Wyatt as say ing, "the only question on our minds has been: Who can beat Morse in 1956?" Noting that in southern and eastern Oregon Hitchcock's am ateurs have lined up a more po tent and active organization than have McKay's professionals Miller lists four factors that are helping Hitchcock's campaign: 1. "A strong current of feel ing that the long- entrenched Oregon GOP needs new blood and new candidates." Miller notes that at the recent state wide Young Republican conven tion at Eugene, at least ninety per cent of the delegates were wearing Hitchcock buttons. 2. "A substantial amount of discontentment with McKay's record as Secretary of the In terior." Miller points out that the Hells canyon controversy is not the only issue being used against McKay. His decisions have evoked criticism among sportsmen, conservationists, the small lumbermen, and people in terested in Indian affairs, ac cording to The Reporter story. 3. "A desire to return- to the moderate liberalism that kept Oregon locally Republican throughout the Roosevelt years." Many Republicans see Hitch cock, not McKay, as the legiti mate heir of such Oregon GOP liberals as Sen. Charles McNary, Governors Charles A. Sprague and Julius L. Meier, according to Miller. 4. "Resentment of dictation from the GOP high command." Miller said that McKay admit ted "I had no intention of run ning until Hall and Adams talk ed to me." Hitchcock has steadily refus ed to attack McKay's record, and told Miller, "I can't attack McKay.. That would be attack ing Eisenhower, and that would be suicide." This polite policy was set by both campaign managers, but Around Hollywood NATALIE WOOD Shouldn't Be Called Child Care Editor'! not: Aline Mosby is on vacation. Sitting in today is Natalie Wood, a former child actress who has bridged the cap to adult stardom. By NATALIE WOOD Written for the United Pren Hollywood (U.R) On July 21 I'll be 18 years old. I will be able to look back on a movie career that spans 14 years. I started acting at the age of four and I can honestly sty I've never re gretted a minute of it. Some people are absolutely horrified about youngsters work ing in motion pictures. I think they're looking at the situation with blinkers on their eyes. There's another side to the story. First of all, I contend that no youngster should be called a "child star." In my opinion, I never was a child star, although I've been called that many times, i was a child actress. Child Stars Affected Child stars are youngsters whose lives center about the stu dio. They are given a tremendous amount of attention, are catered to, grow up with adults, not with kids their own age, and when they finally reach phsyical matu rity, they find it hard to be them selves. In Hollywood lingo, they're "affected." I believe the reason why many so-called child stars never go on to become mature performers is that they haven't had the expe riences of youth, the natural de velopment which every child should have. I don't think it's wrong for youngsters to act in pictures if their lives are lived in such a way that they not only expe rience the glamor, fame and for tune of Hollywood but also the enjoyment of growing up with kids their own age. Normal Life Told As a youngster I worked in many films. When I did I had my schooling on the lot. But between pictures I went to pub lic school, played with boys and girls my own age, climbed fences, skinned my knees, went to school dances and did what all normal kids do. My 10-year-old sister, Lana, who appears in "The Searchers" with me, is now bent on as act ing career herself. But she's not being treated like a prima donna. When she acts, a welfars worker on the set Man Gives Up Diet After Surviving Tornado Detroit !U.R) A 250-pound man swore ' off dieting today, convinced his bulk saved him from being swept away in Sat urday's tornado. William Schauer said he and his brother were listening to a ball game and paying little at tention to the storm until they saw his garage "sailing over our house." "My weight kept me from blowing away," he said. keeps Lana up with her school work. When she's not busy in a picture, Lana returns to her reg lar public grammar school. Just like I used to do. This way, I believe, she'll grow up normally. Laughs of the Day . . . New York (U.R) Robert Jones, according to his police record, knows a lot about jos tling, disorderly conduct, and picking pockets. He also knows something about the law. After a judge sentenced him to six months in jail as a "pick pocket loitering in a . public place," Jones cited the exact por tion of the criminal code in volved, then pointed out the maximum sentence was 100 days. The judge cut the original six onths sentence in half. Haleyville, Ala (U.R Hol- lis Miller had a sure-fire way of getting rid of a eat. He shipped it by Railway Express to a fam ily in Ft Worth, Tex., 700 miles away. That was nine months ago. The cat disappeared from its new Texas home shortly after it got there, but showed up at Mil ler's place this week. Dallas, Tex. (U.R) A 37-year-old prisoner in the city jail awoke today minus his pants, hat, belt and shoe laces. Police found his cellmate wearing the clothing. Creston, la. (U.R) Farmer Charles Wimmer said today birds of a feather don't necessarily flock together. Wimmer said a homing pigeon with a message attached to its leg set up housekeeping in his chicken coop. Washington (U.R) Mrs. Ellis Search for Hospital -Escapee Tapers Off Oregon City (U.R) Search for a teenager who escaped from the Oregon State hospital taper ed off today as officers began to limit their activity to gunning down leads. They said the youth may have left the state. Police also discounted stories that the youth was dangerous and said a report of a gun bat tle Sunday night between the Mills of Leesburg-,' Va., got into a Cadillac at National Airport and drove off. It wasn't until she had driven a comfortable five miles .in 90 degree weather that she realized the car was air-conditioned and her . Cadillac wasn't.
