By BOYD GILL United Press Correspondent Indianapolis (U.R) Sen. Homer E. Capehart, Republican, and Claude R. Wickard, Demo crat, might appear on the sur face to typify the businessman versus the farmer in their fight for the U. S. Senate. Capehart is known as a wealthy manufacturer of juke boxes. Wickard is a former secre tary of agriculture and has long been a farmer. Yet Capehart has a 2,400-acre farm, almost four times bigger than Wickard's, and was born the son of a tenant farmer. And Wickard has had big business experience as head of the rural electrification commission. But one thing is certain in this Indiana battle the concentra tion is on the farm issue where Democrats consider the GOP vulnerable nationally. Democratic National Chair man Paul Butler, himself a Hoosier, made ho bones about wanting Wickard to make the race and encouraged him to make a specific target of Agri culture Secretary Ezra Taft Ben son, drawing on his own back ground as secretary under FDR from 1940 to 1945. Wickard Gets Early Start Wickard launched his cam paign for Indiana farm votes last winter, months before he was nominated. He made the rounds of rural communities, criticizing the administration for failure to produce a farm pro gram and parity price structure. Capehart began campaigning in June talking on foreign pol icy, housing and small business as well as the farm issue. He solidly backed the Eisenhower team although in 1952 he was an ardent advocate of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft in the divided GOP. On the farm issue, Capehart calls attention to his sponsorship of legislation calling for exten sive research in new uses for surplus farm crops to eliminate the need for price supports. His plan for agricultural research was included in the GOP plat form this year. Wickard is 63. a ruddy-faced man who looks like a farmer. He claims credit for developing a food program during World War II which provided for the nation the armed forces and our allies. He points to the strides made in low-cost electric service to rural areas while he was REA admin istrator. Hard Worker in Campaign Capehart is a genial and ex trovertish heaveyweight of 59. Seeking his third six-year term in the Senate, he has campaigned so strenuously that five weeks before the election he sprained an ankle stepping off a plat form but it didn't slow him down. He is one of the Repub lican senators in Washington with a political record that goes back to the days just after the defeat of Alf M. Landon. If In diana voters elect Wickard, they will be doing an about face in Mill -V.4 .

E e cbr i c G I othes Dryeri party tradition. Indiana has gone for the GOP presidential nomi nee every year since and includ ing 1940 and the decisive factor has been the rural vote which overrode Democratic majorities in the industrial areas, includ ing the steel section. Newspaper polls in the last few weeks have shown Cape hart leading Wickard by about a 3-to-2 margin. Two Men Are Injured In Traffic Accidents Two men suffered injuries in car accidents in Medford late Saturday, according to state po lice. Elmer C. Allen, 51, of Camp White, suffered head injuries and a broken leg while walking across Highway 99 to Kim's restaurant when he was struck by a car operated by Loyal Nor man Goodnough, 35, of 2083 College way, Medford, police said. He was taken to Rogue Val ley hospital by Medford Ambu lance service. Hospital attend ants said his condition was "cri tical." Kenneth Waldorf Nottingham, 3686 Crater Lake highway, Med ford, suffered head lacerations when the car he was operating failed to negotiate a curve at Crater Lake ave. and Grandview ave. The car struck a concrete abutment and rolled over in a ditch, state police said. He was taken to Sacred Heart hospital by Medford Ambulance service. Hospital attendants said his condition was satisfactory. 19th Deer Season Death Reported By UNITED PRESS Oregon's deer hunting death toll stood at 19 Saturday with the death of Staff Sergeant Gre gory Franklin Zimmerman, 23, who was shot and killed by a companion near Burns late Friday. State police said the fatal shot was fired by Airman 3-C Frank lin Darrel Sales, 18. Both men were stationed at Burns. Sales told officers he saw a deer and fired at it. The bullet struck Zimmerman who was about 40 yards away, according to the of ficers' report. Another hunting death Fri day claimed the life of Thorn ton L. Stanley, 74, who was hunting near his home at En terprise when he was stricken by a-heart attack. A major crime is committed every 14.9 seconds in the U.S. Is That So? Who are the animal Samsons roaming this earth? Sounds simple, but is it? Right off, there must be qualifications. What about weight limitations I've seen a weasel dragging a jack rabbit at a rather fast clip that's the same as a lion drag ging an elephant at about 5 miles an hour. Then, upon what basis have observations been made? Among animals of the same species variations occur in power, vigor, agility, and mus cular development. And perhaps more important, the motivation was never the same. Was the animal in anger? In fear? De fending its own territory, or at tacking? Contending with an other male? Taking all this into considera tion, I think that the elephant is the all-around heavyweight champion. There is an account of an elephant trampling and flinging a large crocodile 14 feet up into a tree alongside the Lim popo river, Africa. To feed on the tender upper branch leaves of the Mimosa, elephants have been known to uproot 30-foot high trees with trunks 4'i feet in circumfer ence. For d r a g gi n g deadweight. without benefit of wheels or rails, the elephant holds the rec ord: in Burma's teak forests, ne has dragged a load of 4 tons. If it were not for his slower speed, the heavyweight belt might go to the more bulky hip popotamus which may attain a length of 12 feet and a weight of 8.000 pounds, 500 pounds of which make up its massive head. With their enormous mouths. they have been known to crush river boats and sever a man with one bite. More Formidable Foe The ill-tempered rhinoceros, being faster, makes an even more formidable foe except for one thing: fortunately, this be ta- zo- 96 hemoth is very shortsighted But when anger or fear is an incen tive, the charge behind the great horns on his snout is irresistible for any living creature. (The In dian rhinoceros has only one horn.) The animal which has the rep utation for being at once the most dangerous" and fiercest in Africe is the buffalo. It has mas sive horns, extremely broad at the base and meeting across the forehead so as to form a bony protection which no bullet can penetrate. In the London zoo buffalo have bent thick iron cage bars with their horns. For that matter, its cousin, the bull in the ring, has performed some rather prodigious feats such as tossing a horse and rider over a 6-foot high stockade. What of our king of beasts the lion. The wallop it dishes out with its paw is one of the hard est thrown punches in nature With a single blow it can kill an ox, antelope or zebra. While car rying a calf in its mouth, it has been known to leap a wall 8 feet high. Tigers too are powerful. In Malaya a tiger leaped a stock ade, seized a workman, and then leaped out with him. The stock ade was 7 feet high. On the subject of powerful paws, the bear is not to be trifled with. A cage that will safely hold a lion cannot contain a bear once he decides to make a bid for freedom. The polar bear, swimming in the ocean, has been known to lift a 100-pound seal out of the water and land it stunned on an ice floe with one sweeping stroke of its paw. Another one of the world s most powerful creatures is the gorilla which with its enormous "Oregon Future Payrolls Are Unlimited with Leadership" Governor ELMO SMITH 'few i KYJC r7 The job of bringing new payrolls to any state calls for dynamic leader ship at the top.

Liberty, Salem. Oretoa By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist ly long arms and wide chest is endowed with immense strength A single blow from an enraged. full-grown gorilla, has cracked a man's skull as though it were an eggshell. The gorilla, Garan- tua, when not full grown, was given a rope held by 15 hefty men. With one hand he tugged them all up to the cage. Ram Great Fighter In the lightweight class, a ram with his trick skull, doubled backed horns and powerful neck is a great fighter. So dramatic is his jousting, or ramming, that for a long time he was kept in India just as fighting cocks are in other countries. In jumping power, the kanga roo has few rivals covering 10 yards in a bound, and keeping this up for as far as 18 miles without stopping. Antelopes, too, are endowed with great strength and render a good account when brought to bay. With their long backward sweeping horns, these coura geous and graceful creatures have been known to kill lions in combat. And then for the bantam weight Samsons, what about the mole? Tiny as it may be, this creature is a tremendous tun neler and can lift more than 30 times his own weight. So from tiny mole to mighty elephant, many are entitled to the rank of nature's Samsons.

Probe Starts Info 10-Year-Old Remains Portland (U.R) Technicians at the State Crime laboratory here Saturday began an exam ination of the 10-year-old re mains of a Wasco county pros pector which were discovered by a hunter last week. Of the bleached bones recov ered, the skull had a bullet hole in it. Wasco county sheriff Ernie Mosier said he was convinced the aged remains were those of Joe Ingram, an itinerant, half blind prospector in his late 60s. Ingram disappeared from his mountain shack in southern Wasco county in 1946. A small search was conducted for him after his starving saddle and pack horses were found wandering through the hilly country. A deer hunter, Mike White- connton of Wamic, discovered the bones while hunting last higher rating among contenders week. Read and.
