TWELVE MEDTORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE rrldsr. July !, 1957 Wilson Sees Need for Genuine Two-Party System in This Nation i.ji c. rniui By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington W What this country needs more than a good fiven'cent cegar is a respectable two - party po litical system. A respecta ble two - party p o 1 i t ical sys tem would be one in which the leaders and the rank-and-file of each party were deeply com mitted to a general program for the public welfare and in which the two general programs sub tantially differed. The Republican party does not meet that standard today. Els, it would not havt been jecessary, recently, for Presi dent Eisenhower to remind con gressional Republicans that in opposing some of his basic legis lative program they also were tpeosing the party platform on )yhich most of them last year ought office. Bmocraii Fall Short Too The Democratic party doesn't meet it, either. To demonstrate that to yourself, just try to de fine a Democrat In terms which would cover, for example, such notable leaders of that party as Adlai E. Stevenson, Mrs. Elea nor Roosevelt, Sen. Harry F. Byrd (Va.) and Sen. Wayne Morse (Ore.). It can't be done. Enactment of civil rights leg islation on which the Senate be gins a filibustering debate Mon day would mangle the southern way of life. It also would move the United States closer to a real two-party system, respectable or not. This would be accomplished by the extension and enforce ment of the right to vote among those elements of southern so ciety which do not now, or one reason or another, exercise the right The Bureau of the Census cal culated for the 1952 presidential election the percentage of per sons of voting age who actually voted. Southern states lagged. It is reasonable to believe that Negroes comprise the bulk of southern non-voters. It is likely that enacement of civil rights legislation would bring them to the polls. At that point, southerners would be likely to take a hard look at their one-party system in which a Democratic nomina tion for state or federal office is about the same as election to it. Negro voters in the South might, of course, join with the Republican party. Could Also Become Democrats More likely, they would be attracted by the more radical politics of northern Democrats and tend, therefore, to move Powder Puff Derby To Start Saturday San Carlos, Calif. UP) Some 50 planes are scheduled to take off from San Mateo Coun ty Airport Saturday in the 11th annual Powder Puff Derby. This year's all-women trans continental race will cover 2.567 miles, ending at the North Philadelphia Airport. This year's route will take the contestants through Reno, Elko. Salt Lake City, Rock Springs and Cheyenne, Wyo.; North Platte and Ohama, Neb.; Moline, 111., Fort Wayne, Ind.; Akron, Ohio; and Harrisburg, Pa. into the Democratic party in the south. That would bench the old line Democratic conservatives in several southern states and wreck the congressional coali tion of conservative Republicans and southern Democrats Conservative southern voters would be looking then for an other place to mark their bal lots and they probably would wind up in the Republican party or in a party of their own allied with the Republicans. That would be a considerable move toward a respectable two-party system in which, ultimately, Americans must distribute them selves for a showdown contest for control of the destiny of the United States. Man Shoots Self, Wounds Estranged Wife at Coos Bay Coos Bay W Roy Lee Jen kins, 37, shot and killed himself after wounding his estranged wife, LaVerne, here Wednesday night at the climax of a family argument. The shootings, which were listed by the coroner as attempt ed murder and suicide, took place in the apartment of Mrs. Jenkins' mother, Mrs. 'Gillis Dawkins, where Mrs. Jenkins, 26, had been living for the past three weeks with her three chil dren by a previous marriage. Mrs. Dawkins told police Jen kins had been abusive to the children, and for this reason her daughter had left the man. Argument Ensues Jenkins called at the apart ment and asked to see his wife. She came to the door, and an ar gument ensued outside. Then Mrs. Jenkins came running back into the room and Jenkins shot her twice in the shoulder with a .25 calibre automatic. He entered the room, told Mrs. Dawkins, and her son and daughter, "Now we are going to have some fun," and shot him self through the head. He died three hours later at a Coos Bay hospital. Mrs. Jenkins was listed in good condition at the hospital. School Aid Bill Causes House Split Washington Wi House Democratic and Republican leaders split sharply today over wnetner to call the controversial school aid bill up for a vote. Chances for passage of the measure seemed slimmer than ever and both parties maneuver ed to try to tag the other with the blame if it is killed. GOP leaders are determined to avoid a showdown vote on the bill, despite the fact it is a key plank in President Eisen hower's legislative program. Their reason is that a private poll of GOP members shows thei poll of GOP members shows their party overwhelmingly op posed to the federal aid to edu cation provision. According to one report, only 50 of the 200 Republican House members said they would go along with it BUSINESS MANAGER DIES Washington OP) Charles C Boysen. 61, business manager of the Washington Post and Times Herald for several years, died Thursday after a long illness.- SAVE TIME SAYE WORK SAYE MONEY abtom atic IWi-TIMf lO Stop ironing wash trousers & short; USEW TROUSER CREASERS No ironing necessary!

J medford Minister Faces Controversial Pulpit Decision New York (W The Rev. William Howard Melish. contro versial left-wing Protestant Episcopal minister, faces a deci sion today of whether to attempt next Sunday to occupy the pul pit of Brooklyn's Holy Trinity church from which he has been barred by the State Court of Appeals. If the Rev. Mr. Melish decides to defy the court's Wednesday ruling the service may turn into a noisy competition between himself and the Rev. Dr. Her man S. Sidener whom the Brooklyn appellate division has upheld as legally elected rector. The Rev. Dr. Sidener, who was elected 16 months ago, says he intends to conduct his first serv ice this Sunday "if there is no legal impediment." Forced io Retreat Once before, on Jan. 13, 1956, the Rev. Mr. Melish refused to budge when a supply minister appointed by the bishop of Long Island conducted a simultaneous communion service and attempt ed to preach a sermon. Melish drowned out the newcomer and forced him to retreat in mid service. The 47-year-old Rev. Mr. Mel ish said the court's ruling "will create an unprecedented situa tion," but that he will not an nounce his intentions until he and his attorneys have consid ered "every possibility." One of those possibilities is his arrest if he defies the court order. Anoth er is trial before an ecclesias tical court on charges of bring ing the church into dispute. The 11-man vestry of . the church is unanimously pro-Mel-ish, and the Rev.. Mr. Melish also has the backing of about 200 members of the 275-member congregation. Aerobee-Hi Rocket Crashes Soon After Canadian Launching Fort Churchill, Man.

They said about 900,000 were affected by the disease, which is j now on the decline. ' ect for the International Geo phyhical Year. Took Ten Minutes The first rocket fired Thurs day soared 160 miles into the air at a speed of 4,200 miles per hour. The 21-foot rocket took about 10 minutes to make the round trip. A total of 76 of the Aerobee Hi projectiles will be fired from this top-ranking proving ground during the 18 months of world wide IGY tests. Thursday's rocket fell short of the 193-mile altitude record set by an Aerobee at the White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico, April 20. The rocket tests are being made at the Fort Churchill Canadian army testing base, 600 miles northeast of Winnipeg, Man. Contains Recording Devices The cone in the rockets' nose contains 145 pounds of sensitive electronic recording devices in stalled by the Naval Research Laboratories i n Washington, D.C. Scientists were particularly interested in Thursday's launch ing in regard to the density of the electric charge in the iono sphere the mysterious layer in upper space that will be the object of intensive investigations during the IGY.
