Capeharf-Wickard Race in Indiana
Mapped Mainly Around Farm Issue
r.dllor's note: This Is another or the
dispatches on top election contest
across the country.
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 .

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

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.
