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.

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. ,

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

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.

Of Ex-President

San Francisco OI.R) For

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 ' -)

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."

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.
