Des Moines, Iowa, (UP)
R. M. (Spike) Evans, Democratic
candidate for senator in historic
ally Republican Iowa, says the
GOP farm program is a threat
to the civilzation we have built.
Big, silver-haired Evans has
pitched his campaign against in
cumbent Republican Sen. Bourke
B. Hickenlooper on the farm is
sue in a state where no man
could win unless he knew the
difference between a cornpicker
nd a combine.
Hickenlooper Confident
"If you're going to destroy the
family-sized farm and that's
Just what the Republicans are
doing you're going to destroy
the type of civilization we've
bwilt uo in this country," Evans
has said.
Hickenlooper, seeking a third
straight term in the Senate, says
he does not discount "any op
position or any issues' but he is
confident of victory.
A former governor, he has lost
only one election in 22 years in
Iowa politics a primary contest
for lieutenant governor, a post
he later held. If he lost to Evans,
if would be an upset. Iowa has
sent only six Democrats to the
Senate in 108 years.
Evans, a former national di
rector of the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration (AAA)
board, likes the principle of the
soil bank a program of federal
payments to farmers who hold
down production and build up
their soil. He has entered some
of his own farm land in the
"bank." But he charges that the

soil bank, as it is managed in
this election year, is a "vote-buying
scheme."
In a year of stumping which
has run up 39,000 miles on his
speedometer, he has charged that
President Eisenhower and the
Republican party ."haven't lived
up to the promises they made to
farmers about high parity in
1952."
Soil Bank Favored
Hickenlooper c o n s i d e rs his
primary victory over a "high
parity" Republican, Dayton
Country-man, "very substantial
support for the administration's
farm program."
"Practically all the farmers
I've talked to feel the soil bank
is a very excellent thing," Hick
enlooper says.
Hickenlooper has bumped into
organized opposition from
drought - bothered farmers in
southwestern Iowa who banded
into the National Farmers Or
ganization, fought him in the
primary and are fighting him to
day. But the bald, bespectacled sen
ator says, "Hard work and the
interest of the voters" will make
Iowa safe for the GOP.
To Help Save World
Washington (U.R) Speak
er Sam Rayburn charged today
that President Eisenhower is re
fusing to help save the world
from atomic death.
The Texas Democrat leveled
the charge in a statement en
dorsing Adlai E. Stevenson's
proposal that the United States
take the lead in seeking an end
to H-bomb tests.
Rayburn, like Stevenson, ac
cused Mr. Eisenhower of acting
too hasty in rejecting Soviet
Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin's
offer of last Friday to negotiate
on halting H-bomb tests.
"The real issue is how we can
find a way to save the world
from atomic death," Rayburn
said. "Mr. Eisenhower owes it
to his country to address him
self to that issue."
Stevenson used a similar line
in attacking Mr. Eisenhower's
rejection of the Bulganin offer.

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS.
United Press Feature Writer
Washington (U.R) A hun
dred years ago, the newspapers
in the country were crying that
C. Fre-
couldn't
Harman Nichols
John
mont
win.
You can
look it up.
Franklin
Pierce, the
retiring head
of the country,
decided that he
had had it
with a little prodding from his
spouse. James Buchanan came
into the picture.
Mr. Buchanan was a Demo
crat. He won. The popular vote
was 1.927,995 to 1,191,555 Bu
chanan came up with 174 elec
toral votes to 114 for Fremont.
It is interesting to look back
at the editorial comment 100
years ago.
In those days you didn't find
any hot news on the front pages.
Mostly it was for the sale of
mules coming in from Kentucky.
Or beaver hats shipped in from
England. Politics were to be
found mostly on the editorial
pages.
For instance, The Washington
Star printed a piece which said:
"Fremont is a dead cock to
borrow a choice phrase from The
Richmond (Va.) Whig."
The Star and The Intelligen
cer, the big papers in town at
the time, went along issue after
issue telling people that they
ought to look at the "prelimin
ary" elections in Pennsylvania
and Indiana, where the Demo
crats held the upper hand.
The Star viewed with more
than considerable alarm what it
said had happened in Pennsyl
vania. It quoted a reporter for
The New York Herald as say
ing that the city of Philadelphia
was "carried by the reception
in the ballot box of some 6.000
votes fraudulent by the Demo
crats." This performance, if it ever
happened, never was proved.
But facts stand.
Jimmy Buchanan was elected
president of the United States
in 1856. He had a couple of
firsts and at least one last.
He was the only bachelor pres
ident we ever had. And that
also takes care of the last.
Fought for 12 Years
Jim Buchanan, better known
among the cartoonists of the
day as "Old Buck" perhaps
wasn't the best leader we ever
had but we have to accept him
as a leader, none the less. '
The man of the hour 100 years
ago was known as a "dough
face," meaning he was a north
ern politician in sympathy with
the South.
For 12 years, he fought for
the presidential nomination, and
fiddled and bidded his time, in
the House of Representatives,
as a U. S. Senator, and minister
to Russia, Britain and secretary
of state.
Getting back to the cartoon
ists. The quill pushers had a lot
of fun with the man Buchanan.
His top not always was stand
ing erect. Not only that he was
near sighted in one eye and far
sighted in the other.
When he posed for pictures,
he always cocked his head to
one side, whichever side he favored.
Refinery Explosion
Leaves Two Injured
Beaumont, Tex. (U.R) Two
