f fix MirronD (oregok) mail tribune Wadneidiy, July II. 195B Editors Comment on Ike's Decision Br UNITED PRESS Editorial comment on Presi dent Eisenhower's decision to seek reelection: The New York Times: The cen tral fact in this decision, we be lieve, is that it has been made by the President himself and, as such, made in the unquestion ably sincere belief that he is fit to run again and will be fit to serve again, if reelected. In these judgments, of course, he may be mistaken. Neither he nor any of us can read the future . . . We at least know that the Republican party will be led in the next campaign by an internationalist and a humanitarian. Regardless of party preference, that in itself is a cause for gratitude and satisfaction. New York Daily News: To us, It seems great news . . . We hope it will be an Eisenhower Nixon ticket . . . New York Daily Mirror (Hearst) : The vulgar and often mendacious discussion of Presi dent Eisenhower's health has in no manner affected the.enthusi asm of the American people for him. There is so much confi dence in the man that the peo ple instinctively feel that if President Eisenhower did not be lieve he could adequatly fill the office, he would not want it . . . The Eisenhower-Nixon ticket will surely please the ma jority of American voters as it did in 1952. ment. '"It had to be," Harry said. "Nobody can make that decision except the President himself."' Nobody, but nobody. New York Post: We believe the weight of the medical testi mony is against a second term for him. We believe Mr. Eisen hower no longer has the vigor and stamina for the job ... To us it is a very dangerous gamble, not just for the United States, but for the world. This is the age of hell bomb and a moment in history when we need a strong hand full time, not part time in the White House . . . Dwight D. Eisenhower should be settling down now to the quiet years. Philadelphia Daily News: The build-up was beautiful. The men around Ike the palace guard and the public relations special ists did a mighty effective job on Ike's announcement that he would, after all, run for a sec ond term. Ike going to run again? Why of course. Senate Republi can Leader Knowland said al most casually ... It was a del iberate playing down of Ike's second major illness within nine months. The play started with the doctors who said hours after the emergency operation for ileitis that Ike was now better than ever . . . Yesterday's announcement was an expertly managed change of pace. Ike will pick up the load for the GOP. The buildup was beautiful but the record still stands. The rec ord of what has been happening to the U.S. and to the Free World since Ike was stricken a month ago. Chicago Sun-Times: President Eisenhower's statement that he is still a candidate for a second term is good news for the nation and the world. It means that this beloved leader of America has the firm conviction that he can stand the strains and stresses of another four years in the White House. 68614 Votes Needed at Demo Convention To Select Candidate San Francisco Chronicle: His assurance to the congressional delegation that he is "in better shape than before" his intestinal operation of June 9 . . . cannot with certainty be disputed by anyone. It is probable, of course, that the Democratic opposition will attempt to make capital of the health issue, but the Presi dent's appearance of vigor and gaining strength will give the public its own means of judg ing . . . Yesterday's news from Gettysburg is heartily welcome. New York World - Telegram nd Sun (Scripps-Howard): The news announced by Sen. Know land probably won't put an end to the guff being spread by some pretenders to inside information that an unwell man is being pushed into this campaign against his will. This is Ike's de cision, all the way, if for no oth er reason that the one stated by former President Truman, when he heard the announce- Colgates new aerosol type insecticide kills mosqu Hoe$ v c roaches 2HTS and other bugs faster, easier TmfS than any gX j other type and it smells goocJ,too Ktm iooms ma or rtimo insects iokgcii Kan-Kil Bug Killer is easy to use no spray gun necessary, no fuss, no mess! . . .

At all stores. ftmtfcer DepeadaM Colgate prmhet Chicago (U.R) It will take 686', votes at the 1956 Democra tic convention to nominate the candidate for president. Delegates will have a total of 1,372 votes. Rules require a ma jority of these to pick the nom inee. Actually, the number of dele gates will top 1,372. Under Demo cratic National Committee rules, the states may split their votes and name a delegate for each half-vote. Swelling the crowd in the am phitheater will be hundreds of al ternates to cast the vote of dele gates who may miss a roll call. This will bring the number of delegates and alternates to be tween 2.500 and 3,000. Votes Divided The Democratic National com mittee has divided the conven tion votes among the states on the same lines as the 1952 con vention, with two possible ways of getting a "bonus." A state gets four votes more than it had in 1952 if it fell in the Democratic column in the 1952 presidential election, or if it has elected a Democratic gov ernor or senator since Nov. 4, 1952. New York will have the big gest batch of convention votes, 98. Pennsylvania comes second with 74, followed by California with 68 and Illinois with 64. Vermont has but six conven tion votes, the smallest number for any state. North and South Dakota and New Hampshire will have eight each. Alaska, the District of Colum bia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico each have been allotted six votes, and the Canal Zone and Virgin Islands will have three apiece. Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler has said he hopes the first nominating speeches will be given on the morning of the third day of the convention, Wednesday, Aug. 15. These may take most of that day, for in addition to the nom inating speech itself there are seconding ' speeches and floor demonstrations. Butler said he hopes to begin the first roll call Ike Issues Report On Surplus Products Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower reported to Congress today that the government sold or donated $1,264,800,000 in sur plus farm products during the six months ended June 30. Overseas shipments accounted for most of the total. The new amount brought the total cost of the program under a special disposal act to $2,953,- 000,000. The act, adopted in Sep tember, 1954, permits the gov ernment to sell farm surpluses abroad for foreign currency, to make donations to friendly countries for relief arid welfare purposes, to finance shipping charges, to supply relief and wel fare organizations and needy persons in this country, and to permit barter transactions abroad for strategic materials. Des Moines, la. (U.R) Farm mechanization continued relent lessly on Iowa farms in 1955. There were 98,000 head of horses and mules on Iowa farms in 1954, but only 88,000 in 1955.

Main Phone 3-5361 Wednesday night. The roll call is alphabetically by state s Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, etc. followed by the territories in alphabetical order. A state may pass when its turn comes and announces its votes at the end of the roll call. If a delegate wishes, he may demand a poll of the delegation from his own state to see wheth er it jibes with the figures an nounced by the chairman of the delegation. This was a sore point in 1952, when it cippeared that some dele gates were demanding polls just to get into the television spot light while the convention mark ed time for the poll. This year, plans are to have the convention chairman send down his representative to poll the state when it is demanded. The roll call would continue, with the result from that state announced later. Roll calls continue until one candidate gets the necessary 686Vi votes. Dairy Industry Is Important to County ' The dairy industry is impor tant to the economy of Jackson county and the state, Richard Westerberg, manager of the Milk Producers league told members of the Medford Rotary club here Tuesday. In a luncheon address at the Jackson hotel Westerberg em phasized the importance of the high standards established in the former milk control law and ad vised residents to "talk to the family doctor" if in doubt about the cleanliness and safety of milk sources. Westerberg, who is president of both the Oregon and Western Milk Producers associations and operates a dairy near Ashland, said that milk is nature's most perfect food, and the milk cow is probably the most unique and ef ficient manufacturing machine in existence. "Admirals in the Making," a motion picture, was shown fol lowing Westerberg's address. Jennings Pierce introduced the speaker and D. Ford McCormick was program chairman. The Medford Rotary club's new pres ident, Weldon Kline, presided. - Use Mail Tribune Want Ada Jet Transport In Test Flight Seattle U.R) Boeing Air plane company's 707 jet airliner flew from Seattle to Los Angeles and back Tuesday in less than four hours flying time.
