Outcome of Florida Democratic Primary Claimed Hard To Predict Miami CU.R: Florida politi cians say the primary battle be tween Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver next Tuesday is the hardest to predict of any in which the two Democratic presi dential candidates have met. It is also one of the most im portant. Florida and the Calif ornia primary a week later are the last two in which Stevenson and Kefauver are pitted directly against each other. Both have campaigned hard here and a sweep of most of the state's 28 votes to the Chicago convention would be a signifi cant victory for either man. The Republicans also hold their presidential preference pri mary Tuesday but the slate of delegates pledged to President Eisenhower will get only token opposition from a partial slate pledged to Sen. William Know land without his permission. Despite Stevenson's and Ke- fauver's . personal . appearances, a small turnout of voters is fore cast little more than one-half of the 850,000 who voted three weeks ago in the Democratic pri mary for governor. The apathy of voters probably results from a letdown after an unusually heated governor's race and the lack of local and state races or issues to get the voters to the polls. A big unknown factor and one of great concern to the Ste venson forces is the large num ber of Republicans who are reg istered as Democrats in Florida. They helped carry the state for President Eisenhower in 1952. Defeat Due To GOP Help Stevenson feels his defeat by Kefauver' in Minnesota lasi March was due largely to some 125,000 Republicans voting against him in the Democratic primary.

Active club queen contest chairman is Charles Telfer . of Grants Pass. , Rome (U.R) 1 Former Presl dent Harry S. Truman, under fire over one peppery phrase, used another one today. This time, no one disagreed. There was considerable disa greement Tuesday when the term "squirrel head" crept into a conversation about the World War II landings at Salerno. Smile With Remark Mr. Truman apparently was referring to that furor today when he gave newsmen a know ing look and commented, "It's a hell of a world." But a benign smile accompa nied Mr. Truman's remark. Both he and the newsmen accompany ing him appeared hopeful that the Tuesday incident over "squir relheaded generals" had been forgotten. He added later that he was en joying his European tour "very much." American Charge d'Affaiies John D. Nernigan met Mr. Tru man on his return here. But it was a very quiet reception com pared to the, mob scene when he first arrived from Genoa last Friday. Keeping Cool Head He dined last night with his cousin, Brig. Gen. Louis Tru man, and other top officers of NATO's southern command in Naples. Earlier in the day he appeared to be more silent while touring Pompeii than he was at Salerno but he did not lose his sense of GET THAT TROUT I then &et yourself some fine bourbon .ask for JJ JL JL- .

A guide showed Mr. Truman a cold water basin where ancient Romans stuck their heads while taking steam baths. "Ah, keeping a cool head that's a good idea," he said. Looking at a loaf of bread car bonized by volcanic ash which fell on Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., Mr. Truman promptly thought of his newlywed daugh ter. "I ought to send a piece of that to Margaret," he quipped. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A house of representatives committee in wasnington ap proves a boost in postal . rates. First class mail, now three cents ah ounce, would go up to four cents. Air mail, now six cents an ounce, would rise to seven cents. The post office department es timates that the increases would cost the average letter writing family an additional 10 to 15 cents per month or $1.20 to $1.80 per year. tended tours of the state already and will stump right up to elec tion eve. But they have not been far apart in most issues, throw ing their main broadsides at the Republicans. Kefauver attacked Stevenson on two fronts Wednesday in Florida. Kefauver denounced as "scurrilous" and "vicious" state ments made about him by a Ste venson Florida delegate-candi date, former Gov. Millard F. Caldwell. Kefauver said he was "surprised" Stevenson did not repudiate the statement. Read From Editorial Caldwell, in introducing Ste venson at a Tallahassee appear ance, read from an editorial in the Richmond, Va., News-Leader which called Kefauver an "inte- grationist ... a far-left liberal . . . a sychophant for the Negro and union vote." Stevenson replied, "I am not responsible for what Governor Caldwell said about Sen. Ke fauver and1 certainly I am not responsible for what the Rich mond newspaper said." . President May Meet Texas Politicians Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower will delay his de parture from Waco, Tex., Friday after delivering a major foreign policy address there in order to "meet some people," possibly Texas political leaders. Assistant White House Press Secretary Murray Snyder, in re sponse to questions, said Wed nesday -he had no details on whom the President will see. But in response to questions he left open the possibility that the President may meet Texas poli ticians. Among the. Texas political leaders scheduled to be in Waco Friday are Gov. Allan Shiver, GOP National Committeeman Jack Porter, and Former Secre tary of Health, Education and Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby. Baccalaureate Set At Southern Oregon Ashland The Rev. B. J.

Billy Rose To Wed Joyce Matthews New York (U.R) Broadway producer Billy Rose, 56, a 36-year-old actress Joyce Matthews obtained a marriage license Wednesday but declined to dis close their wedding plans. The pint sized Rose has been married twice. He was divorced from the late Fanny Brice in 1940 and from Olympic swim ming star Eleanor Holm in 1954. Miss Matthews slashed her wrists in Rose's apartment atop his Ziegfeld Theater during his court wrangle with Miss Holm over their divorce. The thrice-married blonde ac tress and Rose have been friends for seven years. Miss Matthews was divorced once from Gon zales Gomex in 1940, and twice from comedian Milton Berle in 1948 and 1950.

Wait a minute. The post office department is presently running into the red at the rate of about a half billion dollars per year. Each billion dollars of federal taxation costs each individual American about $6. (It used to be about $7, but our population is growing like the proverbial jimpson weed, so the PER CAPITA cost .is coming down.) So - You see The present postal deficit, which is made up out of taxes, costs each individual American about $3. THAT is to say: Thp nrnnntftil T- i' L-o in nnct. al rates will cost the average American family about $1.80 per year. The average American family is composed of 3.4 PER SONS. So the increase would cost each person about 60 cents per year. Paying for the present half billion dollar postal deficit out of taxes costs each person about three dollars. Viewed from that angle, the proposed increase in postal rates looks like a bargain. : A NOTHER tax note: The senate finance com mittee voted approval this morn ing of 14.4 billion dollars in new taxes over a 16-year period, to help pay for a vast new road building program. 14.4 BILLION dollars! wow;:i LOOK-or prices low and quality high in PICK OF THE PANTRY FOODS OK MARKET has got the. best for less Every OK Market shopper knows she (or he) is getting the best buy on all foods-whether in a can, carton, or bottle-Everytime!

The proposal is to spend 14.4 billion dollars over a period of 18 years. That is at the rate of about 900 million dollars per year. That would amount to a little better than $5 per person per year. If it resulted in more modern highways including a lot of four-lane roads where now there are only two lanes I think it would be worth the $5 to me. BUT THAT isn't the point I want to make. The point is this: The Hoover Commission tells us and has been telling us for years that if we would get more common business, horse j sense into the conduct of our sprawling federal government i we could save several BILLION j dollars a year. ' i Not by cutting down on social ! security. Not by cutting out rec- i lamation and irrigation and such, j Not by reducing our expendi- j tures for national defense to the ! danger point. Just by eliminat- j ing the waste and the monkey- shines and getting down to busi- ! ness principles in the everyday j conduct of our governmental af-: fairs. Think of the 'highways we ; could build with several billion dollars per year.
