SIXTEEN MEDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. August IS. 1956 Republican Platform Drafters Expect NoMajor Differences San Francisco tU.Rj Repub lican policy drafterg meet to day t draw up a platform based on the theme of "Peace, Pros perity and Progress" under President Eisenhower. Sen. Prescott Bush (R-Conn), chairman of the resolutions com mittee for the 1956 Republican Convention, predicted the new GOP statement of principles will be drafted without major fights or differences, even on civil rights. 1 "It will be a platform based on the- Eisenhower record of achievements," Bush predicted. "We hope to come up with a plat form that is brief, forthright and honest . . . and we hope it will be considerably shorter than the 1932 plank. "Our committee intends to draft a platform presenting the Eisenhower record of peace. prosperity and progress and our pledges for the future promises which will be kept, as we kept those we made in 1952." Bush's committee, composed of some of the ranking party lead ers, will hold hearings in 10 subcommittees in the next two days and hopes to be able to work out a final draft by the time the GOP national conven tion opens next Monday, On civil rights, an issue cur rently plaguing the Democratic convention in Chicago, Bush predicted the GOP would recom mend that the Supreme Court decision on segregation is the liw of the land and that the Re publican Party pledges its ef forts to implement it. Both Bush and Sen. H. Alex ander Smith (R-N.J.), a key member of the foreign policy Gas Explosion Blamed for Deaths Monticello, Utah (U.R) Gas exploding in the shallow base ment of the Lariat Cafe was of ficially blamed today for a Mon day dinner time explosion that killed 15 persons and injured more than 30 others. State Industrial Commission Chairman Otto A. Weisley said a "very, very careful and delib erate" investigation of the devas tated building had not yet de termined whether the gas was natural or butane. subcommittee, said they hoped the platform would strongly op pose the admission of Red China to the United Nations. In some other fields of foreign policy, notably Israel, Yugo slavia and the extent of eco nomic and military aid to other nations, the subcommittee head ed by Thurston B.

A thorough rewrite of the GOP's 1952 platform on foreign policy is planned. The '52 plank was largely devoted to condem nation of the Democratic ad ministration. The new plank. Smith said, would be "positive, will show what Mr. Eisenhower has accomplished and the direc tion the administration plans to go in the future." HOUSE HITS CAR Hollywood ttJ.R) William J. Gerber will find it hard to make his friends back in his hometown of Ottawa, 111., believe that while he was night-clubbing early Tuesday a house ran into his parked car. The house was being moved to a nearby city when it slid from support beams and crashed into Gerber's car.

Gov. Arthur B. Langlie was hard at work today drafting a hard-hitting keynote address for deliv ery at the National Republican convention Monday in San Fran cisco. Aside from a heavy schedule of official business, the govern or has been spending four to six hours a day on the biggest speaking assignment of his 21 year political career. Starts Early in Morning "And I start pretty early in the morning, usually about 5:30," Langlie said. "I even wake up wondering about it." Presenting1 a positive view of GOP programs will be a major job of the keynoter. But Langlie also finds himself in much the same position as he did after the state Democratic convention. He must answer a blistering attack by the Democrats. Langlie, who replied to Demo cratic charges while addressing the state GOP convention last month in Seattle, now is faced with a similar situation follow ing a vigorous attack on the Re publicans by Tennessee Gov. Frank G. Clement Monday night in Chicago. Langlie had no immediate comment on Clement's volley. He will save it for Monday. The Washington governor who set the state convention on fire with his oratory, has indicated he will stress the contention that the GOP has reversed a "very dangerous trend toward centralization of government." National GOP Chairman Leo nard W. Hall has said Langlie's speech "won't be filled with dis tortions and half-truths like Clement's." To this, Langlie commented: "I'm happy Mr. Hall has that much confidence in me." The vital role of Northwest senatorial races in GOP cam paign strategy appeared to be pointed up by the selection of former Oregon Gov. Douglas Mc Kay to introduce Langlie. VERY LITTLE RUSSIAN Hamilton, K.Y. vU.R) Only nine American secondary schools offer courses in Russian, accord ing to a study by Henry W. Mott at Colgate University. He said most schools do not offer the course because few states have Russian tests in college entrance examinations. Chicago Polio Cases Flare Up in New Area Chicago (U.R) A decline in the number of polio cases report ed in the hardest' hit area of Chicago's record outbreak of the disease was apparently offset by an increase in another congested area. Health authorities reported that only 11 of the 25 new cases reported for the last check pe riod occurred in the slum-ridden West Side area, which previous ly accounted for more than half of the new cases daily. However, the new total was only three cases below the rec ord one-day total of 28 cases Aug. 2. The latest figures brought the total to 741 cases and 21 deaths.
