CHAMP SHAKEN UP
Newburgh, N.Y. (U.R) John
Orman put his mongrel dog,
Champ, in his automobile Tues
day and turned to talk to a
friend. The car rolled down an
incline, went through a block of
a park, ran down 13 steps,
crossed a road, went 30 feet
through a playfield, rode over a
six-foot ledge, landed in a sparse
ly wooded area, passed before
two trees with inches to spare,
crossed another street and came
to rest against a park bench. Or
man climbed into his car and
drove off but Champ was a little
nervous.
Party Labels Don't Mean Much
In Politics, Lyle Wilson Says
I Wednesday, June 20, 1958
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FTVB
dtiJ
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Some an
gles the voters should consider
with a national election coming
up are these:
1. Thepolit
ical parties so
liciting their
votes are
frauds. The
party labels
mean not
much.
2. The plat
forms upon
which the can- L.jie i i,ium
didates stand are largely phony
rather than real statements of
party policy. The platform
pledges are not binding.
3. The dividing line which de
fines a two-party system in the
United States is more imaginary
than real.
Fraud Easily Seen
The fraudulent nature of the
political parties easily is demon
strated. For example: Try to de
fine the Democratic party in
terms which would include such
disagreeing democrats as Sen.
Harry F. Byrd, Va., and Hubert
H. Humphrey of Minnesota. Or,
try to define the limits of the
Republican party to include such
republicans as Sen. Clifford P.
Case, N. J., and Sen. William
E. Jenner, Ind.
Platforms are phony in pro
portion to the extent to which
party members ignore them.
Presidents usually stick fairly
close to the platforms on which
they are elected. Members of
Congress are less responsible
men. Six out of ten of congres
sional votes on major legislation
will find large numbers of Re
publicans voting against Eisen
hower administration policies
and large numbers of Democrats
voting for them.
The dividing line between the
two major parties is more imag
inary than real on the national
level because neither party has a
solid foundation of policy uni
formly acceptable to its national
membership. A conservative pol
itician who might properly be
labelled a Democrat in Virginia
or Georgia would have to be
tagged a Republican if he shift
ed his voting residence to, say,
Michigan or New York.
Drought Worsens
In Southwest Area
Kansas City, Mo. (U.R) Dry,
hot weather intensified a devas
tating drought in the Southwest
today.
Farmers and livestock produc
ers in many areas staked their
hopes for relief on the federal
government and the chance of
rain.
The afflicted areas Include 11
northwest Missouri counties.
southwest Iowa, western and
northwest Kansas, parts of Ne
braska and Oklahoma, and 78
Texas counties running from the
Panhandle to the Rio Grande.
The drought is more than four
years old in some sections.
Anti-drought measures include
an "Operation Haylift" to aid
suffering Iowa farmers; Hay is
being cut along roadsides in the
state's northeast and north cen
tral portions for shipment to the
drought area.
In the Missouri drought lands,
the earth is rock-hard because of
lack of moisture and acute water
shortages have developed in
many communities. The region
is in need of water, feed and
seed supplies.

Clatsop Interested
In Paper Mill Deal
Astoria (U.R) The Clat
sop county court announced yes
terday that it had sent a letter
to Crown-Zellerbach indicating
its interest in a proposal for a
pulp mill in Clatsop county in
exchange for the right to buy
Democratic strength in thethe timber off an unspecified
This confusion of party labels
and loyalties has been aggravat
ed by the combination of politi
cal groups which Franklin D.
Roosevelt created and called the
New Deal. He held the largely
conservative South and normal
North and West. To those, RFD
added a substantial left wing
element which embraced the ris
ing giant of organized labor and
gobbled up even Norman
Thomas' Socialist party. The
Communists were in-and-out
New Dealers, flocking to FDR
at the polls only after Hitler in
vaded the Soviet Union and lend
lease supplies began to support
Stalin s military forces
An FDR Maneuver
Mr. Roosevelt's neatest politi
cal trick was the welding to
gether during his lifetime of the
conservatives in the South and
the Northern Democratic ma
chines ruled by the big city
bosses. Individual southern poli
ticians balked and bolted, but
the southern voting masses stay
ed with FDR.
American politics is a crazy,
mixed-up thing. " But, better
times probably are coming. How
fast depends mostly on political
developments in the South.
When southerners have a two
party system of their own, a
chance to vote radical or con
servative without wasting their
ballots, the re-alignment of
parties in the United States will
move along quickly.
Presidential elections of 1928-48-52
proved that the solid
South isn't solid any more.
President Eisenhower carried
four southern states four years
ago Florida, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia. More significantly,
he polled a respectable number
of votes in each of the 10 south
ern states. His vote was a sub
stantial 47.7 per cent to Adlai
E. Stevenson's 52.3.
acreage of public forest land in
the county.
The letter was addressed to E.
P. Stamm, vice president of the
corporation.
The letter follows a public
meeting with Stamm in which
he proposed a cooperative sus
tained yield agreement, involv
ing Crown-Zellerbach's timber
and state owned timber, to sup
ply a 400-ton pulp mill.
He also said if the county
court would indicate interest, the
Crown company would submit a
petition to the State Board of
Forestry, asking permission to
make an agreement of that na
ture with Clatsop county.
