Congressmen Fly

Girl Trapped Nine Days in Auto
Wreck Continues to Show Progress
Salt Lake City "U.R; Doctors
reported today that 18-year-old
Jean Margetts was continuing to
recover "satisfactorily" from the
ordeal of being trapped in a car
wreck for nine days but she still
could not discuss the accident.
A formal statement issued by
Latter-day Saints hospital today
said the plucky patient was "not
quite as alert" mentally as she
was Thursday and so far she
could only "answer simple ques
tions." She was trapped in the car
and her fiance, James Hixon Jr.,
22, was killed June 24 while re
turning here from a fishing trip.
The Sunnyvale, Calif., girl was
not found in the concealed
wreckage until Tuesday evening.
The hospital said Miss Mar
getts could still recognize her
parents and doctors "interpreted
the absence of crying to mean
she was free from pain and hun
ger." Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence Margetts, have re
mained at the hospital con

MEI'FORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Truman Believed Triggered for
Premature Attack on Stevenson
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Some of
former President Truman's po
litical pals are fearful that he
is t r i ggered
for a prema
ture give-'em-hell
blast
against the
Democr atic
nomination of
Adlai E. Stev
enson for pres
ident. These politi
cal pals were
associates of Mr. Truman when
he was in the White House. They
are convinced HST hopes to ob
tain the nomination of Gov.
Averell Harriman of New' York.
They hope to prevent anyone
in the Stevenson camp or else
where from doing or saying
anything which would cause Mr.
Truman to shoot from the hip
against their man. They believe
Stevenson will pile up such a
large first-ballot plurality in the
Democratic National Convention
that his nomination will be as
sured, barring the unpredictable.
That's Mr. Truman unpredict
able. He has been impulsive on
occasion, and if impulse put him
on public record opposing Stev
enson's nomination before the
convention got going, his pres
tige might swing the party away
from the man from Illinois.
Thoughts Make Sense
That's what some of Mr. Tru
man's long-time political pals
are thinking, anyway. And it
makes sense. The impression that
Mr. Truman favored Harriman

School Construction
Bill 'Good as Dead'
Washington (U.R) House
Democrats and Republicans
agreed today that the defeated
school construction bill is as
good as dead this year in con-
.gress. " . .. '
Each side blamed the other.
The House defeated the
$1,600,000,000 school program
Thursday in a 224-194 roll call
vote. Earlier, the House attached
a modified anti-segregation
amendment after a legislative
mixup that resulted in the kill
ing of a previously approved
stiffer version.
The party lineup on the final
vote: 119 Republicans and 105
Democrats voted against it: 119
Democrats and 75 Republicans
voted for it.

One of the principal issues be
sides the segregation amendment
was whether states should re
ceive federal aid money accord
ing to their fiscal need or size.
over Stevenson began to develop
with the appearance of the
second volume of his memoirs.
In that book, Mr. T. paid off
Stevenson for chilling him out
of the 1952 presidential cam
paign. He was president then and
had nominated Stevenson almost
single-handedly.
Evidence of his political af
fection for Harriman has ac
cumulated steadily. A recent
visitor to Kansas City found Mr.
Truman unwilling to, talk presi
dential politics. The visitor
pressed, however, and Mr. Tru
man counselled him to take his
questions to Frank McKinney.
Fitted Into Jigsaw
McKinney is the Indiana banker-politician
who was chosen by
Mr. Truman in the latter years
of his presidential service to be
chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee. It was Mc
Kinney who revealed that last
spring's unadvertised Mid-Western
huddle of Harriman support
ers had taken place with Mr. Tru
man's knowledge.
McKinney himself now has
been publicly fitted into the jig
saw Harriman-for-president puz
ble. Harriman headquarters has
announced McKinney's appoint
ment as Midwest regional chair
man. Practical politicians will
regard McKinney as Mr. Tru
man's man in the campaign high
command.
The Big Putsch
The big problem now develop
ing for the Harriman strategists
is the timing of the big putsch
for their man. They need some
hundreds of Stevenson's dele
gates to put Harriman over.
Their strategy will be to offend
such persons as little as possible
and to aggravate Stevenson as
little as they must, lest he throw
his influence elsewhere if
knocked out, himself.
Stevenson's strength may be
so great by convention time as
to make a Harriman move both
futile and foolish. That's why
some of Mr. Truman's old-time
associates are eager for him to
hold his fire until there is some
evidence that Stevenson can be
stopped.
Stand Against Kefauver
Mr. Truman has not taken a
firm stand against any likely
nominee except Sen. Estes Ke
fauver of Tennessee. Kefauver
sinned four years ago by enter
ing the New Hampshire presi
dential primary against Mr. Tru
man, and licking him good. Mr.
T. does not forget. But when he
said Thursday in Harriman's
presence that he was glad the
senator had lost this year's Cali
fornia primary, Harriman was
quick to disassociate himself
from such a statement. - .
"Both Sen. Kefauver and Mr.
Stevenson are my kind of Demo
crat," said Harriman.
He doesn't want to offend
either Kefauver or Stevenson.
To win, Harriman hopes ulti
mately to obtain delegates from,
both of them.
