Stevenson, Kefauver Due in State Tuesday; Campaign Fever Soars By UNITED PRESS Oregon Democrats prepared today for a visit from their par ty's presidential and vice presi dential candidates as both Dem ocrats and Republicans stepped up their campaign tempo follow ing the two national conventions. Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver fly in to Portland to morrow for a six to seven hour stay in which they will meet with Democratic officials from several states to plan the fall campaign. They plan to travel to Bonneville dam and then go to Vancouver, Wash., to meet with party officials. Seaton To Visit On the Republican side, Inte rior Secretary Fred Seaton was week. Sen. Wayne Morse, who faces former Interior Secretary Doug las McKay in the November election, criticized his opponent in a week end statement. Morse charged that McKay was trying to take credit for an Air Force allocation of $305,000 to' the Northwest Training institute at Tillamook. He said "it was as a result of the efforts of Sen. Rich ard Neuberger and myself that the Air Force cancelled its plans to discontinue the school.' Thornton at Malin Former Gov. Dan Thornton of Colorado spoke at the Klamath county Republican picnic in Malin Saturday. Thornton de nounced Democratic farm poli scheduled to visit the state this cies which he said have helped Law Change Affects Self-Employed People (Editor's note: The follow ing is one of a series of articles prepared by the Social Se curity Administration describ ing the important changes in the Social Security law en acted by Congress this year. According to the local Social Security office, lhey will af fect more than 600 women in Jackson and Josephine coun ties, 200 or 300 disabled per sons, and an unknown but considerable number of law yers, dentists and other pro fessional people as well as farmers.) For taxable years after 1955, self-employed and professional persons such as lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, na turopaths, osteopath, and op tometrists, started buildng old age and survivors insurance pro tection for themselves and their families on the same basis as self-employed persons previous ly covered by the law. It is estimated that about 200.000 professional people are affected by this change in the social security law. Many Lawyers Affected Lawyers make up the largest number of these newly-covered self-employed professionals. Most of them are already familiar with the insurance provisions of social security. They have observed and studied it for their clients. Moreover, because of the close relationship between legal practice and fields such as busi ness management, real estate, finance, and politics, many law yers had moved into other lines of work covered by social se curity before 1956. A great many of them came under social security as em ployees of other lawyers; others acquired military wage credits under social security during ac tive service with the Armed Forces. It is estimated that at least 30 per cent of all self-employed lawyers, at one time or another, riave accumulated some earn ings credits under the old-age ana survivors insurance pro gram. To these lawyers, in par ticular, the extension of cover age is of marked importance. The social security credits they have built up would have steadily declined in benefit value in the years ahead; jn the case of many young lawyers, they would eventually have disap peared altogether. Dentists Included Also brought under social se curity as of January 1, 1956, are an estimated 78,000 dentists actively engaged in private practice. Because of the length of time required to complete his professional training, the dentist's earning capacity in many cases does not commence as early in life as that of the average non-professional individual. In starting his practice, he must furnish his office with ex pensive equipment to realize a reasonable return from his prac tice. If he has a wife and fam ily, he is in need of the survivor ship protection social security affords to a young widow and minor children during those years. farmers only through wars and their aftermath. Thornton also spoke in support of McKay and Rep. Sam Coon, who is opposed for reelection by Democratic Al Ullman. Coon planned a tour through central Oregon this week with stops tomorrow in Bend, Wed nesday in Prineville, Thursday in Madras and Friday back in Bend. Neuberger told Multnomah county Democrats at their picnic in Portland yesterday that the Republican party has "deserted the depressed Oregon lumber industry by its failure to include a housing plank in its 1956 plat form." He said that "softness" in the lumber market and the de cline in sales have been attrib uted by industry spokesmen to the drop in new home building this year. Thornton Criticized State Sen. Carl Francis, Day ton Republican, criticized Attor ney General Robert Y. Thorn ton, whom he faces in Novem ber, "has used his position as a political instrument for personal gains." Thornton was returning today from a tour of duty with the Army in California. Report of Body In Auto Checked Portland (U.R) Police had a busy time yesterday hunting a body that wasn't there. A woman caller started it off by saying she thought she saw a car, with a body in the trunk. She said she saw an arm stick ing out A couple-of minutes later there was another call. A sec ond woman in the same north east area called. She, too, said she saw a hand sticking out of the trunk. Three hours later a man en tered the St. Johns police pre cinct. He also reported seeing the car, saying the hand was drooping over the fender. The man had the license num ber. The wheels of the law began to turn. Later, police drove up to a home and waited. The mys terious car appeared. Two youths jumped out. One nodded toward the trunk and said, "Hey, . . . you guys can sit in front now." "Thanks a lot," came the re ply, and the voice added: "That was some Sunday drive. Real crazy, man." Police signed their report, "suspicious auto, OK." Exiled Archbishop Declared Director Of Eoka Underground Nicosia, Cyprus (U.R) Offi cial British charges that exiled Archbishop Makarios personally directed the terrorist activities of the Eoka underground has plunged" Cyprus into despair to day. An Eoka truce proclaimed on Aug. 16 ends today and Cypriote feared renewed bloodshed. Brit ish troops, heavily reinforced since start of the Suez crisis, took up battle stations through out the island. Balloon Keeps Lookout The Royal Air Force sent up an observation balloon over the capital to keep a lookout for any anti-British activity. The balloon was equipped with a powerful 'Authentic Story' 01 Adlai-Truman Talk Reported London (U.R) The London Evening News printed today what it called the "authentic story" of Adlai E. Stevenson's private talk with former Presi dent Truman after Stevenson received the Democratic nomin ation at Chicago. Mr. Truman had opposed Stev enson's selection by the Demo cratic convention, maintaining he was not the strongest candidate and indicating he could not win in November. After Stevenson won the nomination, the two men held a brief meeting in Mr. Truman's hotel suite. Called on Truman The Evening News version of that incident said: "Truman telephoned Steven son to ask him if he might come down to see him in his suite. " 'No, sir,' was the reply. 'I shall come up.' "The interview in Truman's suite was brief. Stevenson did not sit. The following conversa tion took place: "Truman: Can we let bygones be bygones? I should like to do anything I can to help you. Tell me what I can do. "Stevenson: Sir, I bear no grudge. But after saying the things you have said, I really do not see how you can help me now. "Truman: Bess (Mrs. Truman) will never forgive me . . . never forgive me. "Stevenson left the room. searchlight to sweep Nicosia's streets at night. The charges against the beard ed, Boston - educated orthodox archibshop were made by Colo nial Secretary Alan Lennox Boyd, and were based on the captured diaries of Greek Col. George Grivas, the rebel leader known as Dighenis. Lennonx-Boyd said "these documents prove beyond any doubt whatever that the arch bishop was the leader of the ter rorist campaign in which 145 people have been murdered," 93 of them his fellow Cypriote." Archbishop Makarios, 43, leader of the Greek Orthodox church on the island, was exiled to the Seychelle islands in the Indian ocean last March. Britain has refused to negotiate on Cy prus' future until Makarios re nounces the use of violence. Greece Hurls Charge Greece reacted swiftly. A source close to the government called the British charge an ef fort to justify the "oppressive" measures enforced by British troops against the Enosis, or union-with-Greece movement. "It is obvious from the hasty announcement that Lennox Boyd is seeking to diminish the poor impression created on world public opinion by British intransigence in refusing to ac cept Eoka's truce offer," the authoritative source said.
