FOTJFTEErf MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sundar. August 12, 19SS Banners, Slogans Add To Color As Convention Fever Grips Demos Chicago U.P) Democrats poured into this windy mecca-on-the-lake Saturday, and the convention pot was all a-simmer White cardboard donkeys marched prick-eared in, a glad some frieze around the marble exterior of the Conrad Hilton Hotel, just above the plateglass fim-floor windows. Silver footprints led across red carpet in Adlai Stevenson's headquarters toward a booth where steading silver shoe-sole lapel pins (with a hole in mid- sole) were on .sale at a dollar a throw. Out at convention hall the flies from the stockyards whir ' red nervously through the sound- charged air as the organist Wast ed his way through a practice round of "Stars and Stripes For ever." The teleprompter people, grown richer and wiser since they unscrolled speech tests on a tiny screen before 1952 con- Lakeyiew Mining Firm Moves Eight Cars of Uranium ' Lakeview UR) The Lake view Mining Co. made its sec ond shipment of uranium to the Vitro Chemical Co. of Salt Lake City last week. It was the com pany's first shipment since three carloads were sent- out Oct. 3, 1955. Jim Polous, general manager of the mining company, said the shipment contained approximate ly 40 tons and was carried eight Southern Pacific cars. The mining frim is owned by the Thornburg Brothers of Col orado Springs. Colo. All ore was from the Lucky Lass mine. The previous shipment was from both the Lucky Lass and White King mines. Maps in Windows Meanwhile, aerial maps show ing anomalous areas which may contain uranium ore were "to be posted in windows of the mining company office here. Dr. Garth Thornburg said "ap pearance of anomaly designation on the map does not necessarily mean that ore grade radioactive material is present. It means sur vey instruments in aircraft have reacted more strongly above those areas." Thornburg commented that so far as he knows it was the first time that a private company had issued such information to the public without charge. vention orators, were busy .necking the "color tempera lure" of each 1956 speaker's face. As each spellbinder mounts the podium, a magic light panel on the lectern will automatical ly dim or brighten to put his political puss in the best light. Battle Lines of Slogans New York "Teen-agers for Stevenson" trotted out a wild new bebop-type slogan in behalf of their man: "Madly for Adlai." The opposition camp retali ated, rather weakly (but give 'em time), with: "Harriman is the man." They may catch up in the slogan department but they are going to have to go some to draw abreast of Stevenson in the lady-fair rieoartment. "Adlai girls," beautiful and gracious, roamed the Hilton. They wore blue dresses and brown straw boater hats with blue "Adlai" bands and carried parasols which shouted "Steven son." They handed out pins, but tons, and match folders, all gaudy with propaganda. The blue of their dresses re flected the color scheme of the entire convention. The big live stock amphitheatre has been dressed in a symphony of blues, a color suggestive of cool in the heat of August and, more impor tant, a shade that comes through just charming on TV. Cool is an apt word for the set-up in convention hall. Air conditioning and stagecraft have a priority. No longer will hon est sweat roll off the brow of a het-up speaker. An air condi tioner built into the lectern will squirt a jet of dehumidified oz one into his fevered face. Vents on either side of this main one .can be adjusted to de liver cold air onto his feet, limbs, or midriff. Directly in front of him, on the ! right and the left, mirrors will j reflect :ip to him the text of his address, unfolding on two tele-1 prompters like the slotted notes j that flow from the unwinding scroll of a player piano. He must lower his eyes slight ly to see the mirrors, and when such occurs he may look demure but actually will be searching for his next sentence.

Lee said the pipe line was not designed with enough intake fa ' cilities to operate at full capa city. Additional intake facilities were installed earlier this year, Lee added, and both pipe lines 1 and 2 can now operate at full capacity. Pipe line 2 was designed to carry about 13 million gallons 1 per day. Lee said that during yesterday's testing it operated near a flow of 13 -i million gal- Jons. With both pipe pines oper ating at full capacity, Lee said, the city can be supplied with about 26 million gallons per day. . He commented that for two or three days Medford water will have a "milkish" look. He said this is caused by air in the water from the change of flow in the pipe line while testing yester day. It will work itself out soon, he said. reg. to 4.95 swim suits famous brands, boxers briefs, most sixes 2" childrens others reg. 5.95 3.95 reg. 5.00 straw hats famous brand panamas and Italian milans 388 reg. 7.95 summer robes cotton or rayon seersucker with terry rim 544 reg. 2.98 pedal pushers smart styling, stripes or checks reg. 9.95 washable jackets short styles in colorful poplin 6 only 688 draperies Mike Elliott Named .
