Wednesday. August 22. 195B MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Sailors Receive Pay On Floor of Ocean Hoover, in 'Farewell' Convention Appearance, Greeted by Demonstration McKay's Introduction Of Langlie Highlights Of Oregonians' Day By BOB DICKEY Alternate Delegate San Francisco Republican Senatorial candidate Douglas McKay's introduction of Key noter Gov. Arthur B. Langlie was the highlight of the Oregon delegation's activities on the opening day of the Republican National convention. It actually was the first delegation-sponsored demonstration of the convention. Because it was unrehearsed, it wasn't too successful from the television viewpoint, particularly at the onset. The signs blocked the cameras' view of the proceed ings. The demonstration was easy "for the delegates to execute be cause this year, like at the 1952 convention, the Oregonians have excellent seats. " In 1952 the Oregon delegation sat in the first row. It had its drawbacks, however, because the speaker's podium was' di rectly above the. seats and the delegates were forced to sit with their heads craned back to view the proceedings. , 9 This year the Oregon section is again right in front of the speaker's podium,? but back six rows. The location is as desir able as any in the house. Directly in front of the Ore gon group is a combination of Maryland and Wyoming dele gates, while directly behind is the Delaware contingent. Former presidential standard bearer Thomas E. Dewey's arri val in the convention hall dur ing the second session caused quite a stir among the Oregon group. Dewey, sitting with the New York delegation, was only four rows back of the Oregon area. There was considerable com ment on how young Dewey looked and of his poise. His presence on the floor of the con vention still rates top billing with the TV, radio and news hawks. He, as in 1952, was care fully made up to present a fa vorable television target. California Sen. William Know land, who is the temporary chairman, likewise went heavy on the makeup while keynote Arthur Langlie used' little or none. Langlie's keynote address has been the highnote of the conven tion to date for the majority of the delegates. He seemed to cap ture the mood of the crowd and translated into words the think ing of the group. The attraction for Tuesday morning will be the delegation's meeting with. Vice President Richard Nixon. Since the Repub licans of Oregon have spoken in the primary election, binding the delegation to Nixon, this promises to be little more than a courtesy call by the vice president. Because the delegation is not meeting daily, it is hard to keep tabs on new arrivals. We have been able to track down a few more Medfordites, however. cludins Walt Oamer. in ' San I Francisco on . personal affairs. who was at the Monday sessions. Convention Wacky Affair, Writer Aline Mosby Finds By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent San Francisco (U.PJ The confusion and flamboyance of this Republican National Con vention out-Hollywoodizes Hollywood. I had expected a conclave of government leaders to be sol emn. But after 10 years of cov ering the movietown beat for the United Press, I vote that honors for wackiness go to a political convention. Girls With Stickers Pretty girls wearing nothing but stickers in strategic places prance into the UP convention bureau at the Fairmont hotel to hand out "stick with Ike" stick ers, just like starlets do in Hol lywood to get their names in the papers. The "delegates" to this con vention include J. Fred Muggs, who is furry and has a long tail and is an NBC TV star. Fred's button read, "Get Ahead with J. Fred." He wears a pol itician's shirt with striped trousers. In fact, there are animals all over the place. The guests at Gov. Goodwin J. Knight's cam paign ball included a baby ele phant. And traffic was snarled one day when the Young Re publicans club paraded by the St Francis hotel with several battered looking donkeys in a "beat the Democrats rally." The press includes two eight- year-olds accredited to "The Mickey Mouse Newsreel on ABC." The candidates include a local disc jockey, Bruce Vander hoof, who threw his hat into the political ring via a march through the lobby of the Fair mont hotel complete with speech, band and an escort of eight beau tics in swim suits. The Fairmont hotel lobby re sembles a three-ring circus most of the day. One afternoon a jazz band held forth and members of that Young Republicans' club jitterbugged on the thick rugs. Another day 15 men dressed as Uncle Sam marched through, reason unknown. , Today the lobby watchers HERBERT HOOVER Freedom Hopes Threatened Search Continues For Missing Seoul Longmire, Wash. U.R) Search resumed at dawn today for a 13-year-old Seattle Boy Scout lost on the slopes of Mt. Rainier. Searchers yesterday found a cap belonging to Richard Mizu hata about 1.00& yards -from a trail and about 500 yards from a sheer cliff. The boy became separated from a troop of scouts who were hiking on the mountain Sunday, afternoon. Bloodhounds from the King county sheriff's office have been recalled but more than 40 searchers bedded down on the slope, last night and re sumed the search at daylight Study of Seaweed Sponsored by Navy Kingston, R.I. U.R The Navy is sponsoring a three-vear study on what makes seaweed and other pesky underwater ma terials grow. Working on the $7,500 pro ject are Dr. Richard Wood, as sociate professor of botany at the University of Rhode Island, and Dr. Donald J. Zinn, an as sociate professor of zoology at the unversity. Their goal is to lay the groundwork for eventual steps to prevent fouling of ob jects such as anchors, ship bot-J toms, mines and cables, sub merged in the sea. "Very little is known of the beginning stages of algae and seaweed and still less about the interrelation of the plant and animal communities there," Dr. Wood said. were startled to see a man who could have been Harry S. Tru man. He was actor Irving Fish? er, who portrayed Truman in "Call Me Madam." He did the stunt for a TV show. A jEll-OUr LAST TIME ADVERTISED Freedom Subject Of Ex-President In Tuesday Talk San Francisco OI.R) For mer President Herbert Hoover was the featured speaker at Tuesday's session of the Repub lican convention here. Mr. Hoov er, at 83, was making his "fare well" appearance before a na tional convention. He was greet ed by a tumultous six-minute demonstration. He said he wanted to talk of freedom. ". . . In our generation," he I said, "we have seen mankind's hope of freedom threatened and even overwhelmed by the revival of old ideas and the spread of a host of new ideas dangerous to free men. Reminds of Consequences "I have no need to do more than mention these menacing ideas to remind you of their con sequences to free man. Among them are the ideas of Commu nism, Fascism, atheism, aggres sive nationalism, centralization of government away from men's control and that veiled sister of Communism legalistic social ism. "Today the greatest issue in America and all mankind is the encroachments of government to master our lives." Asks Freedom Pledge Mr. Hoover suggested that this centennial GOP c o n v e n t io n should adopt a declaration of priciples, pledging to safeguard freedom. His speech was fol lowed by adoption of the plat- rform with 'its preamble contain ing the kind of pledge he pro posed. 1 ' -) After tlfc platform was ap proved, providential as s i s t a n t Sherman Adams introduced members of the cabinet, who praised it, contrasted it with the platform adopted by the Demo crats last week and talked about why the voters should keep the Eisenhower administration in power for four more years. Dulles Represented All the cabinet members were present except Secretary of State John Foster Dulles,, who -is in London for the Suez conferences. He was represented by Under secretary of S t(at e. Herbert Hoover Jr., who said the admin istration is dedicated to seeking "just peace . . . the first obliga tion of statesmen and governments." Three Persons Killed In Nampa Auto Crash Nampa. Ida. U.R) - Three persons, including a Portland, Ore., couple, were killed late last night in a headon collision of two automobiles just inside the Nampa city, limits on U.S. Highway 30. ' Canyon County Coroner John Alsip identified the dead as Wendell Hillenbrand, 42, Port land, his wife, Helen, about 40, and Berry Ray Duty. 26, of Caldwell, the driver of the sec ond car. Alsip said three Hillenbrand children Fred 19, Donald, 13, and eight-year-old Sally were hospitalized but attendants said they were "doing pretty well." San Diego, Calif. (U.PJ Pay day is a Navy tradition which can't be missed, even when a submarine is 120 feet below the ocean's surface on search and rescue maneuvers. During recent operations off the Pacific Coast, a rescue div ing bell was dropped to the gup py type submarine Diodon that was playing dead on the ocean floor. When the bell reached the sub, out stepped Ensign Philip A. Whitacre, a Navy paymaster, and paid off the crew, right on schedule. Pen Pais Meet After Eight Years of Writing Russell, Kan." (U.PJ Two overseas pen pals who averaged writing each other twice a month for eight years met here recently for the first time. Alice Porter came from Blackpool, England, to meet Wil- ma June Hanlon of Russell. Accompanying Miss Porter was her fiance, William Kenyon.' The two Britons were enroute to California. They plan to be married soon and live in the United States. Largest Welded Span Bridge Being Built Buffalo, N.Y. (U.PJ The 664- foot bridge under construction over Cattaraugus Creek on the Erie Thruway will be the largest welded span on. the entire New York State Thruway. Department of Public Works engineers say the bridge, cost ing some $1,300,000, is some what of an experiment. The welding of small spans is not unusual, but putting together a large bridge with smooth seams of fused metal instead of rivets is out of the ordinary. Fmported I --?
