MAIL TRIBUNE
Notes From a Trip
The liqtior store situated just south of the Oregon
California border on U. S. Highway 101, along the
coast, has two names. The traveler driving north sees
the name as "Last Chance." The southbound tourist
sees the name, "First Chance."
The "great American tourist" changes.
Years ago, he was a hardy, pioneer-type of indi
vidual, with bedrolls, food boxes, camp beds and
tents strapped to all sides of his open touring car.
Later, as slicked-up, -streamlined automobiles
without running-boards became the vogue, he became
more sophisticated, stopping more often at a "cabin
camp" than at a camp-ground.
Nowadays there is a trend back to the original
breed, and as a result, both types of highway travel
ers are seen in ever-increasing numbers. Some of them
flash by in their glossy cars, headed for the luxury,
"motels," which are the modern-day successors of the
cabin camps. Others, however, are going back to the
bed-roll and food box or rather their modern ver
sions, the sleeping bag and portable ice-chest.
On the heavily traveled tourist highways, one sees
station wagons (the neo-tourist cars) piled high with
bedding, mattresses, pillows, thermos jugs and, quite
frequently, small children and dogs.
And in the public campgrounds, they fill up the
camping space virtually every night of the summer
months. There are also an increasing number of those
modern nomads the trailerites.
Highway pastimes also change with the years.
Years ago, one made poker hands out of the num
bers on approaching license plates. Today, highway
speeds are frequently too great to see enough of the
numbers to play this game.
A new one is watching for the new California li
cense plates, which have three large letters as pre
fixes for the numerals. The combinations of letters
sometimes are wonderful. DAZ is seen frequently in
Del Norte county. But we also spotted AEC (Atomic
Energy Commission?), DUK, and others equally sug
gestive. We kept looking for IKE and VFW and DAV, but
never saw them. We hope whoever is in charge of se
lecting the letters is careful, for some three-letter com
binations, if not screened, could be embarrassing.
A night under the Redwoods can be an exhilara
ting experience. It can also be somewhat unnerving
for one not used to camping out. The family secretary
of health, education and welfare made careful inquiry
as to the incidence of bears before the sleeping bags
were rolled out, and was assured (1) that this wasn't
bear country, and (2) that bears are more afraid of
you than you are of them. (The second answer fell on
unhealing ears.)
During the night, however, we heard garbage cans
clanking in the darkness, and remembered watching
bears in Crater Lake National park tumbling them
over each night. In the stillness, we wondered if (1)
and (2) were correct, after all.
The culprit, we found later, was a raccoon who
made the rounds each night.
' Miles and miles of Highway 299, winding over the
Trinity mountains between Areata and Redding, are
under construction, and frequent waits for "pilot cars"
to convoy travelers are necessary.
At one point, construction men were preparing to
blast an outcropping of rock. As we sat and waited,
a truck rolled by, jouncing over the construction de
bris, with six boxes of dyanmite riding on the tailgate.
The man riding with them casually caught one just as
it tipped and started to fall to the ground.
A veteran highway construction man, at a mid-afternoon
break, complained loudly that he'd been
moved up on the mountain" to drill blast holes, that
he'd been given a map showing just where to drill, and
that "out of 9,000 feet of construction, the blankety
blank fools picked out that one spot to drill, and it
was right on top of a skunk ! !"
Some 10 or 15 miles north of Weaverville, along
a winding, dusty mountain road, with "civilization"
far behind, one rounds a jouncing curve and finds a
large, neatly painted sign : "Children at Play."
The tiny, unincorporated community of Trinity
Center, though barely large enough to show on maps,
boasts a sign, "Trinity Center Muncipal Airport," in
the middle of town. The airstrip, leveled on gold
dredge tailings, serves Forest Service fire patrol
planes, and the aircraft of logging companies.
The Trinity mountains, known as the "Alps" in
their higher elevations, are beautiful and spectacular.
But the family secretary of HEW claims that Mt. Ash
land and Wagner Butte are just as gorgeous. And, to
the homebound tourist, she's right, of course. E. A.
Warped Thinking
We can't understand and we're glad we can't
the thinking of an individual who would set off a bun
dle of dynamite near downtown buildings. His moti
vations must be strange and his thinking warped.
The reference is to last Wednesday's "bombing"
at Rogue River, in which the post office, a variety
store, and the office of the Rogue River Times were
damaged, and several persons escaped injury or death
only by luck.
DISAGREE with many of the Times' editorial
" and news policies and methods.
But wre join all right-thinking people in our abhor
rence of the type of mentality that could use dynamite
in a town's business section as a means of retribution
or vengeance toward one concern. And it looks as
though what could be what it was. We hope the police
authorities are successful in their hunt for the crim
inal or criminals responsible. E.A.

Iberian Penninsula Air
Seen 'Insurance1 Against Loss
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The United States is taking
out some valuable insurance
against the possible loss of its mil-
itary bases in
North Africa.
First, it is
speeding up the
construction of
the air end na
val bases which
Spain granted
it under a n
agreement
signed in 1953..
Charles UcCann oeconaiy, 11
is preparing to take advantage
of the offer Portugal has just
made to give it the use of two
big Portugese bases.
A United States military mis
sion opened talks in Madrid to
day with Spanish and Portugese
officers on developing and co
ordinating the bases for strategic
bomber planes.
The Spanish and Portugese
bases will be valuable in them
selves in the defense of Western
Europe under the North Atlantic
Treaty.
Offset Morocco" Baiei
But they also are calculated to
offset to a great extent the pos
sible loss of the five big bases
in Morocco in which the United
States has invested about $410,
000,000. The Iberian Peninsula, which
Spain and Portugal occupy, is
only eight miles across the Strait
of Gibraltar from North Africa.
It is separated from France by
the forbidding Pyrenees Moun
tains. Portugal is a member of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiz
ation. Spain is not, partly be
cause of the opposition of some
NATO members to Generalis
simo Francisco Franco's regime.
Both countries are intensely
anti-Communist. Neither main
tains diplomatic relations with
Soviet Russia.
The United States bases in
Morocco were designed as out
posts of the NATO defense sys
tem. Planes based there could
hit the Soviet Union. From the
aspect of ground defense, the
bases would be safe even if an
attacking Russian army succeed-
Wheat Marketing
Quota Election Set
For Friday in Area
A referendum on wheat mar
keting quotas will be held in
Jackson county Friday, July 20,
Charles E. White, chairman of
the county Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation com
mittee, reminded wheat growers
today.
All growers who will harvest
more than 15 acres of wheat for
grain in 1957 are eligible to cast
ballots, he said. Quotas do not
affect farmers with smaller
wheat acreage.
White said all growers should
have received notice of the farm
allotments for the 1957 wheat
crop, but should questions about
the program or local voting
places arise, farmers may con
tact the local ASC office.
If Approved
If at least two-thirds of the
farmers voting approve quotas,
they will continue in effect for
the 1947 wheat crop, and a
grower who exceeds the larger
of the allotment or 15 acres of
wheat will be subject to mar
keting quota penalty on his "ex
cess" production. Under quotas,
White said, the available price
support to farmers who have
complied with wheat allotments
will be between- 75 and 90 per
cent of parity.
If more than one-third of the
farms voting disapprove the
quotas, no quota and no penal
ties for excess production wiU
be in effect. But the available
support on the 1957 wheat crop
will drop to 50 per cent of
parity.
The vote will not affect acre
age allotments, which will con
tinue in effect regardless of
which way the vote goes. Legis
lation provides that wheat al
lotments shall be in effect each
year except in time of emer
gency. Marketing quotas are direct
ed to be proclaimed only years
when the supply exceeds normal
by 20 per cent or more, White
said. The supply or wheat avail
able for 1956-57 is actuaUy 71.4
per cent above the normal sup
ply, he said.
Ava Gardner Denies
Plans for Wedding
London (U.R) Film Star
Ava Gardner denied today that
she is planning to marry Dom
inican playboy-diplomat Porfirio
Eubirosa.
"There is absolutely no truth
in the report that I am to marry
Porfirio Rubirosa," she said.
"I met the gentleman once in

defense aspect, the Pyrenees
would be a formidable barrier.
When the danger of a third
World War seemed great a few
years ago, Spain and Portugal

bastion of defense against a
Russian sweep across Europe.
Planes based there could hit

Eisenhower and Nixon
TickefSeenCampaign
Of Century
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington XU.PJ It will be
Eisenhower and Nixon again for
the Republicans and the 20th
century's roughest presidential
jvmt& camnaien so
far.
Vice Presi
dent, Richard
M. Nixon is as
as sure now of
r e n omination
as is President
E i s e n hower,
assuming they
both live. That
Lyle C Wilson was "
pression Mr. Eisenhowers con
gressional conferees carried
away from Gettysburg Tuesday.
That is the judgment of Repub
licans in general on Capitol Hill.
Nixon returns today from his
swing through the. Far East as
Mr. Eisenhower's No. 1 ambassa
dor. "I never had any doubt," said
Sen. Frank Carlson (R.-Kan.)
when asked about Nixon's re
nomination. "No doubt," echoed others
who were sampled for Republi
can opinion on Nixon s political
future.
Seconded by Hagerty
The Republican leaders who
conferred Tuesday with Mr.
Eisenhower said they took it for
granted that Nixon was to be
named again for vice-president.
Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty quickly backed them
up.
"I think it is very clear," Hag
erty said in response to a query.
Nixon probably will be the
next important visitor to the
Gettysburg White House to re
port on his journey. And the
time has come for these two men
unpredictably teamed by poli
tics to begin planning their cam
paign strategy. Nixon will press
for a bare-knuckled attack.
The drama of the coming cam
paign and some of the bitterness
arises from the arithmetic of
their ages. Nixon, aged 43, wUl
be on the ticket with a man of
66 years and whose 70th birth
day would pass before the end
of a second term. And the No. 1
man has suffered a heart attack
and major surgery in the past
10 months. ,
Top Campaign Issues
The stark possibility that Mr.
Eisenhower will not survive a
second term and that Nixon
would succeed him has been
tagged by leading Democrats as
a top campaign issue. Back there
in the 30s and 40s there were
whispers, no more and they
were promptly condemned of
Franklin D. Roosevelt's physical
infirmity. But it never became
an openly discussed issue, nor
did the polio he suffered appear
to curb FDR's spirits of vitality.
But a candidate's health and
life expectancy will be hotly
disputed in this campaign, with
medical opinion as you like it.
All of this puts Nixon in an un
precedented spot for a second
man. The vice-presidency 'uni
formly has been an obscure po
sition, more often than not a
dead end.
Nixon, however, has become
a powerful and controversial
figure on the American scene.
He is admired and applauded;
hated and despised. His rise in

remain so for a long time.
The United States acquired its
bases in Morocco by direct agree
ment with France. The newly
independent Moroccan govern
ment has announced that it does
not recognize this agreement.
Sultan Mohammed V has offered
to negotiate a new agreement
with the United States. But it is
certain that his price will be
high. Further, the value of the
bases has been reduced because
of the unstable internal situation
in Morocco.

Only Way To Stop
Stevenson Victory
Washington Adlai E. Steven
son now seems so far ahead for
the Democratic presidential
nomination that probably he can
fail to get it only if the other as
pirants cooperate against him.
And gang-up attempts against
the front-runner usually have
proved successful m the past
only if the ganger-uppers were
united in (1) hostility to him and
(2) the tactics to be used against
him.
Thus in 1880 former President
U. S. Grant failed to go over the
top for a third (non-successive)
nomination because practicaUy
all the anti-Grant Republicans
were convinced that the party
couldn't win with him, would
win with somebody else. In 1888
front-runner John Sherman of
Ohio was defeated by the unified
intrigues against him, some of
them m his own state.
Two-Thirds Rule
In 1912 the Democratic con
vention leader in the earlier bal
lots, Speaker Champ Clark, was
ultimately defeated only by the
two-thirds rule (he did achieve
a majority), when the anti-Clark
delegates got together behind
Wilson. But in 1932 the two chief
candidates opposing F. D. Roose
velt were former nominee Alfred
E. Smith and Speaker John N.
Garner, and the Smith and Gar
ner factions were bitterly hostile
to each other.
In 1940 when the Republican
nomination went to a dark horse,
Wendell L. WiUkie, neither
Dewey nor Taft had been very
far out in front. In 1948 the
Stassen, Warren and Vandenberg
factions had little in common
with the faction behind Sen.
Robert A. Taft, poor second to
Dewey on the first ballot. And
in 1952 Sen. Estes Kefauver was
really out in front only by de
fault, with some of his delegates
prepared to ditch him once the
chips were down.
In 1956 some Kefauver dele
gates would rather see the nom
ination go to Stevenson instead
of to Harriman if their own man
can't win. Many delegates who'll
vote for Harriman aren't anti
Stevenson, certainly aren't pro
Kefauver. And many delegates
who'll vote at first for favorite
sons from the South would pre
fer to have Stevenson get the
nomination than Harriman or
Kefauver. (Editorial Research

Big, Small
Opposed on
Washington (Q) Oppos
ing small business and big busi
ness interest groups are bracing
for a Senate showdown on a bill
to curb price concessions to fa
vored customers.
The small business groups
claim the bill should pass, say
ing it would deal a blow to
monopoly by closing a loophole
they say the Supreme Court
opened in the Robinson-Patman
Act, a measure designed to pro
tect the little businessman.
Opposition to the price con
cession curt already approved
by the House is led by oil com
panies, railroaders and some
steel men. They say the mea
sure is a "serious attack on the
free enterprise system.'
Administration spokes men
from the Departments of Com
merce and Justice have come
out against the bill. However,
the Federal Trade Commission,
most of whose members were
appointed by President Eisen
hower, is backing the measure.
The White House itself has taken
no stand.
Key to Controversy
' Key to the controversy is the
legal interpretation of the Rob
inson-Patman Act sections on
price discriminations. The Act
permits a manufacturer or job
ber to give a customer a price
concession "in good faith to meet
an equally low price of a com
petitor." In a 1951 case brought against
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, by
the Federal Trade Commission,
the Supreme Court ruled the
good faith" defense covers
even cases where the price con
cessions give one customer a
better deal than his competitor
gets.
The bill passed by the House
-would permit the Court's "good
faith" interpretation to justify
price concessions unless the ef
fect of the price discrimination
is "substantially to lessen com
petition or tend to create a mon
opoly."
This limiting phrase, the bill's
backers say, would restore the
original purpose of the Robinson-Patman
Act which was to
permit the small businessman to
compete against his larger com
petitors. Importance Indicated
Neither side on the fight will
say flatly what the bill means
tc the average customer, con
cerned mainly about the price
he pays for goods. But the man
euvers and counter-maneuvers
on the bill indicate the import
ance they attach to it.
The bill was introduced in the
House in January, 1955, by Rep.
Wright Patman (D-Texas). It
was mired in the Judiciary Anti
trust subcommittee until May
21 of this year, when Patman
employed the rarely-used parlia
mentary device of a discharge
petition to bring it to light.
He obtained the necessary 218
signatures (a House majority) on
the petition, which discharged
the bill from the jurisdiction of

the committee that had held it
and cleared the way for early
floor debate.
Just three days after the dis
charge petition was filed, the
subcommittee approved a simi
lar measure sponsored by Chair
man Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.).
On June 11 the House ap
proved one amendment to Cel
ler's bill, making it identical
with the measure Patman intro
duced, and then passed it, 394-3.
The overwhelming margin
brought cheer to the Anti-Monopoly
Conference, an informal
alliance of 10 organizations
joined in support of Patman's
bill. In this group are the Co
operative League of the U. S.,
the International Association of
Machinists (AFL-CIO) and trade
groups of tire dealers, retail
druggists, grocery and candy
wholesalers and ., retailers, pe
troleum retailers, farmer co-ops,
food, fruit and vegetable dealers.
Action By Opponents'.
The House vote also brought
into action opponents of the bill,
led by oil companies and their
trade associations. The National
Oil Jobbers Council, for In
stance, called on eight officials
of state and regional jobber or
ganizations to testify against the
bill before the Senate Judiciary
Antitrust Subcommittee. . :,.
. Other opposition came from
the Association of American
Railroads and the Jones-Laugh-lin
Steel Co.
The measure seems certain to
win approval from the Senate
Subcommittee. Four of the
seven members are sponsors of
an identical Senate bill. But
Chairman Jomes O. Eastland (D
Miss.) of the Judiciary commit
tee has not taken a stand on the
bill and Administration opposi
tion may cost it some Republi
can votes, if it comes to the floor.
But the groups backing the
bill think they have "the best
chance in years" to win their
battle.
