SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. October 15. 1956 Kentucky Voters Being Wooed by High Ranking Political Aspirants By JOHN G. DIETRICH United Pres Correspondent Louisville, Ky. iU.Ri Ken tucky voters tins year feel like the wallflower who suddenly became belle of the ball after her father strikes oil on the old homestead. They are being wooed by pres idential and vice presidential aspirants with an ardor scarcely explained by the "state's 10 elec toral votes. In a recent five-day period. President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon and Dem ocrat Estes Kefauvcr all ap peared in Kentucky. Adlai Ste venson is due soon. To Elect Two Senators All the attention is due partly to the fact that in 1952 Steven son carried Kentucky by only 700 votes. But more important is the happenstance that Kentucky this year elects two U.S. sena tors. Blue Grass voters may de termine which party controls the next Senate. The death last April of Sen. Albcn W. Barkley cave Repub licans this opportunity to wrest not one. but two. Senate seals from the Democrats. Adding to GOP optimism is a deep cleft in Democratic ranks resulting from 1955 s bitter gu bernatorial primary, won by Gov. A. B. Chandler over forces led by former Gov. Lawrence V. Wetherby and U.S. Sen. Earle G Clements, the Demo cratic whip in the Senate. Rift Deepened The rift deepened last spring when Chandler seized control of the state s party organization but not before Wetherby won nomination to the four year un expired term of Senator Bark ley. Clements also won renomi nation. Neither Clements nor Wether by gave more than technical support to Happy's abortive presidential bid. And Chandler has said scarcely a word in be half of them in their senatorial campaigns. Still, Democrats outnumber Republicans by at least three to two in the state. GOP leaders knew they could win against Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Pasadena, Calif. Ten scientists at California Institute of Tech nology, supporting Adlai Stevenson's H-bomb proposal: "Time is running out with an implacability that we ignore at our peril." Secaucus. N.J. Henry Krajewtki. presidential candidate of the American third party, on Democrats and Republicans: ''One of them is for the Park avenue crowd and the other is for the Fifth avenue people." Castel Gondolfo. Itaiy Pope Pius XII, denouncing the Com munist practice of using women as laborers in heavy industry: ". . . It is a sad return to the times which Christian civilization long since buried." Washington Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson on Steven son's proposals for ending the draft: "You can't end the draft as long as the country needs a sub stantial strong military force, as it does, in excess of 1,400.000 men." New Bedford, Mass. Baptist Minister Rev. Edward J. Hales, preaching a sermon on rock-n-roll singer Elvis Presley: "I feel that the emotional nature of young people has produced Elsis Presley. Part of adolescence is change. We are living in a world where it's pretty hard even for adults to remain emotion ally stable." Washington Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey on the Democratic "millionaire" cabinet charges: "There isn't a single one of them in the cabinet who just inher ited his money and hasn't gone through the mill." even a divided Democratic par ty only by sending in their strongest team. They gave the nomination for the fuil term, against Clements, to former U.S. Rep. Thurston B. Morton, a former Louisville milling executive who resigned as an assistant secretary of state to make the race. Hie man the Republicans real ly wanted on "the team'' was John Sherman Cooper, twice a U.S. senator, and probably the strongest vote-getter the Repub licans ever had in the state. Cooper was reluctant. Twice before he had won election to unexpired terms, only to be de feated for reelection to full terms the last time by Barkley. He was serving as ambassador to India and felt he should fin ish that job. Right To Top ' State Republicans went right to the top to get their man. Coo per was invited to the Whilo House and the next day he an nounced he would make the race. Paradoxically, for a state oft en in political uproar, the cam paign has been a quiet, almost sedate one. All four men have stumped Kentucky tirelessly but Rcpubicans and Democrats alike admit privately that they aren't drawing big crowds. At the moment, reasonably objective observers see the pres idential balloting as close, with Stevenson perhaps picking up strength in farm areas. The popular Cooper is consul ered a favorite over Wetherby. Senator Clements, however, is an "old pro'' with a solid organi zation and the loyally of the to bacco farmers. His opponent. Morton, is comparatively little known jn the state and carries the handicap of being from Louisville in predominantly ru ral Kentucky. Prineville Man Pleads Guilty to Assaul! Prineville 0J.R) A 23-year-old Prineville man pleaded guil ty in Justice of Peace Court here Saturday to a charge of assault and battery stemming from an altercation a week ago between Crook county youths and itinerant farm workers of Mexican descent.

State police said the alterca tion broke out when Scott ac costed several teenage Mexi can youths in Prineville. Later that evening violence broke out at Viewpoint, overlooking the city, when a small group of teenage Mexican farm laborers and a larger group of 18 to 24-year-old Crook county youths met.
