Eisenhower's Message To GOP Convention.
Asks Help To Make Future Equal To Past
San Francisco (U.R) Pres
ident Dwight Eisenhower's mes
sage to participants in the 1956
Republican convention here Aug.
20-24 today called on them "to
help make the bright promise of
the party's future more than
equal to its past."
The President's message open
ed the 160-page convention pro
gram which was released today.
The program called attention to
the GOP's 100 years and fea
tured the slogan, "Peace, Pros
perity, Progress."
Of the 29 specially prepared
messages in the program, only
one, that by Andrew F. Schoep
pel, chairman of the National Re-1
publican Senatorial committee,
referred to the possible battle
for the vice presidential nomin
ation. Schoeppel said:
"Specifically, we are going to
nominate at this convention, the
incumbent, Dwight D. Eisenhow
er, and our vice president, Rich
ard Nixon."
Nixon's message said:
"The idea that government is
the servant of the people is not
a new idea, but, the way it has
been applied for the last three
and one-half years is new and
we are all the better for it.'
Former President Herbert
Hoover outlined the accomplish-

St. Martin's Forest
In 1895 two men swung axes
in the wilderness timber to begin
the clearing for a new educa
tional enterprise of the Order of
St. Benedict whose rule of
"prayer and labor" had been
established 1400 years before. A
shed was raised, then a chapel
and living quarters. There was
soon a school in the clearing.
The site was eight miles from
Olympia.
By 1914 only 40 acres had
been logged. Even in 1919, when
the last of the 600 acres of old
growth forest had been cut over
there was a market for only the
logs of highest grade. Stacks of
old windfalls and new logs were
left among the stumps.
After a slash burn a jungle of
bracken fern, firewood. black
berry, vine maple, groundsel,
salal. pearl everlasting, ' and
other such growth came up to
prodive fuel for more fires.
There were five sweeping fires
in the 1920s. Yet within the sec
tion and around ita there were
Douglas fir seed trees that had
survived the logging and that
lived on through the burns.
Th Conquering Trees
Now a cow-track road winds
through the young Douglas firs
to an abandoned cattle corral
with watering trough and calf
shed. The layout was designed
back in the 1920s by a priest who
had a hand for cow country
architecture. In my eyes, when
I visited St. Martin's College,
every joint of post and poles
called for the scenes of sage
brush and rimrock which I'd
known as a boy in Idaho. The
fame of the sagging gate was

for a picture of beef stock graz
ing up distant gulches, in dry
air and sharp sunlight in which
one could look to far pinnacles.
But here it was wet weather.
The 25-year-old Douglas firs
were crowding the corral on all
sides. It had been put up after
the last logging in 1919, in
hope that the 600 acres of raw
cutovers could be made over
into range for 200 head of beef
cattle 6nd enough Guernseys to
yield milk and butter for the
400 students, all young men of
mighty appetite. But after 35
years 40 head of Aberdeen
Angus and 25 milk cows were
the number of the entire herd.
Hundred Yean' War.
For a century the white man
has fought the war of trees vs.
grass on the lands of the Douglas
fir region. In the same period,
and ' before it, the pioneers all
over America followed a tradi
tion of clearing land, of trees,
grubbing stumps, burning debris,
for crop fields and pastures, and
for schools and towns.
On the bottoms it has worked,
for there as a rule the soil is
suited to richer crops than trees.
From these lowland clearings
our townsites and farms were
formed. The later comers had
faith that they could do as well
on the uplands, believing that
where trees would grow any
thing should grow. There are
still many who do not know that
the tree feeds through its leaves
on sunlight and air. only quench
ing its thirst and deriving some
minerals from the ground.

ments of the Republican party

Francisco Mayor George Christ
opher. The Republican governor

Hall Predicts Victory
Leonard Hall, chairman of the
GOP National committee, also
predicted victory in the forth
coming elections.
"The spirit of the 'great cru
sade' the president launched four
years' ago still warms our hearts
and inspires our 'minds. That is
why we enter this 1956 presi
dential campaign confident of
another overwhelming victory
November 6th," he said.
Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of
Washington, who will be the
convention's keynote speaker,
said:
"The greatest contribution we
as American citizens can make
to our country is to work as nev
er before to strengthen the foun
dations of the political support
which will assure the continua
tion of the far-sighted programs
which have been carried for
ward in the past three and one-
half years and the preservation
have been brought to the gov
ernment of this nation."
Senate Minority Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland of California
said:
"The challenge of Internation
al Communism is an unparal
leled opportunity to awaken the
moral conscience of men every
where "to injustice and to re
state the principle that the state
is the servant and not the peo
ple." -
Mentions Communnism
House Minority Leader Joseph
W. Martin Jr., of Massachusetts

cling fast to our bright and

pagan terrors of godless Com

able footing in our beloved Am
erica." Meade Alcorn of Connecticut,

biggest coffers."

ent Republicans, including all
cabinet members, and a detailed
of the dignity and. integrity that history of the party.
