Phone Bill Campaign
Launched By Farmer
Correctionville, Iowa 'U
Farmer Lee E. Smith has asked
every farmer in the country to
call up his local telephone com
pany at 8 a.m. next Thursday
and order his phone service cut
off.
The farmers should go with
out telephones until the com
panies knuckle under and agree
to cut their rates $1 a month,
Smith said.
Smith said he has nothing par
ticular against telephone com
panies except that they are "stra
tegic." A farm strike against the
phone companies would call at
tention to the economic plight
of the farmers, Smith said.
He added city dwellers would
be welcome to cut off their tele
phone service, too, if they are
"in sympathy with the farm
situation." '

swept to a big congressional vie
tory and dominated the ensuing
congress since 1928 when they
elected a majority of the 71st
congress. That was the year Her
bert Hoover swamped Alfred E.
Smith for the presidency.
In 1946 the Republicans won
the 80th congress, immortalized
by Harry S. Truman as the worst
ever.
They also won by a very nar
row margin the 83rd congress
which was elected with Presi
dent Eisenhower in 1952. These
1946 and 1952 successes were
sufficient but not impressive.
The 85th Congress elected with
naturally run on the record. The
record of the Eisenhower Admin
istration seems to be making for
a slippery track.
The track is littered, to boot,
with banana peels such as the
well-publicized fizzle of the first
United States attempt to match
the Soviet's Sputniks with a
small Flitnik of our own.
Farm subsidy and foreign aid
costs also are under hot fire.
Government spending, which
got out of hand under the Demo
crats, continues to worry the
voters. There is anxiety that na
tional defense is not all it should
be.

District Representative:
C. "CHUCK" COX
210 Urn St., Medford, Oregon - Tel.: SP 2-8420,
suggested publicly that GOP con
gressional candidates next year
cannot expect to ride far or fast
on the Eisenhower coat tails.
In late October, Simpson
spoke before a Republican audi
ence in Alamogordo, N.M., as fol
lows: "Not everything undertaken
in Washington has met with gen
eral voter approval. This is to be
expected, and it is up to the can
didates for congress within the
ranks of the Republican party to
make known their dissents and
to work to change or to eliminate
undesirable policies when elected."
Simpson softened that some,
but not much, with these words:
"A Republican candidate will
not be breaking with President
Eisenhower if he confines his
campaign to local issues and en
dorses only those administration
policies which meet the demands
of the candidate's constituents."
Perhaps not, but what Simp
son said just about adds up for
Republican congressional candi
dates to this: They must choose
next year whether to run on
President Eisenhower's record or
away from it.
Modern Republicanism seems
not to have caught on with the
conservative elements of the
party without which elements
there is not much political fu
ture for the GOP or for most of
its 1958 congressional candidates.

Justice Department
Has New Appearance
By HELEN THOMAS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) The Justice
department is taking on a new
look under the dynamic leader
ship of Attorney General Wil
liam Pierce Rogers.
Only a few weeks on the job,
Rogers already is acting like a
new broom sweeping clean.
In that brief time, the new
"A.G." has filled two of four
top level vacancies in the de
partment. He . also has made
some staff changes, and a nurriT
ber of top strata shifts appear to
be in the wind.
The handsome, hard - driving
Rogers is gathering around him
bright and brainy men bearing
like him the stamp of "Modern

Sixth and Fir
Republicanism." Two such men
are Federal Judge Lawrence E.
Walsh, -the new deputy attorney
general-designate, and W. Wil
son White who will head the
new civil rights division.
Two Jobs Open
Rogers still has to pick men
to fill the top job in the crimi
nal division and the office of
department legal counsel.
No abrupt shakeup is antici
pated but gradually and smooth
ly Rogers is expected to place
around him his own coterie of
legal experts.
Meanwhile, Rogers has
stepped into the shoes of former
Attorney General Herbert
Brownell Jr. like a pro long
groomed for the post.
As number two man in the
department under Brownell,
Rogers had a hand in all the policy-making
decisions and a big
ger hand In seeing that they
were carried out.
That Rogers is a comer in the
Eisenhower administration and
the Republican heirarchy is gen
erally conceded. His rise in the
national political picture has
been swift.
Presidential Timber
As attorney general, the affa
ble, blond - haired, blue - eyed
Rogers will be constantly in the
limelight'. Some observers be
lieve he will be presidential
timber some day.
Rogers ranks next to Vice
President Richard M. Nixon as
GOP glamor boy. But they are
not rivals for political favor.
They are close friends, and Rog
ers is among those plugging the
hardest for Nixon . to win the
next presidential nomination.
Rogers' new prominence in
the Republican sun was spot
lighted after President Eisen
hower's Nov. 25 cerebral attack.
Acting at the request of the
White House staff, Rogers ques
tioned the doctors, studied the
situation, and came up with the
decision that no delegation of
presidential duties was neces
sary. Nixon and Rogers hovered
close to the President during
those critical hours when the
doctors were confirming their
diagnosis. They have teamed up
many times.
Nixon Asked His Advice
It was to Rogers' home that
the vice president sped for ad
vice and comfort when Presi
dent Eisenhower suffered his
heart attack in 1955.
During the 1952 presidential
campaign, Rogers was one of
Nixon's chief political advisers.
He was at Nixon's elbow during
the disquieting days that fol
lowed disclosure of the private
fund raised by California
friends for Nixon.
It was Rogers who told Nixon
to appeal to the public as he
would to a jury. The result was
the famous broadcast in which
Nixon said -the only personal
gift he ever got was his dog
"Checkers."
Rogers is lean, broad-shouldered,
six feet tall. He is photo
genic and as handsome in a
clean-cut way as a movie idol.
Rogers is 44, a half-year
younger than Nixon. In addition
to charm, he posseses ability.
He "won his political spurs when
as counsel for a Senate investi
gating committee during the
Truman administration, he help
ed to expose the "mink coat,"
and "deep freeze" scandals.
