Parly Unified
Nixon Insists
New York 1P Vice
President Richard RI. Nixon
said Saturday that disagree
ments within the Republican
party posed a problem. But
he said they would not be a
factor in this year's congres
sional elections.
Nixon said such disagree
ments were "inevitable" in a
country with the two-party
system. The alternative, he
said, would be a system of
fragmentary parties, such as
those in France.
The vice-president told 1,
400 members of the Woman's
National Republican club that j
there was some pessimism j
within the party about its
chances during the forthcom
ing elections. In his view, he
said, such pessimism was pre
ferable to over-optimism in an
election year.
One of the GOP's major ob
jectives during the election
campaign, Nixon said, would
be to try to convince the vot
ers that it is possible for the
GOP "to be progressive and
conservative at the same
time."
"If we can do this, we'll
win; if not, we'll lose," he
said.
Nixon told the women, ga
thered from throughout the
country, that the Eisenhower
administration had given the
nation peace and unpar
alleled prosperity. He conced
ed the recent downturn in the
nation's economy but predict
ed an upswing during 1958.
An annual prize for the best
short story wiritten by a
university student has been
established by Mrs. Ernest
Haycox of Portland in mem
ory of her husband, the late
Ernest Haycox, Pacific North
west author.
The award will be know as
the Ernest Haycox short story
prize. It will be $100 for the
best work and S50 as a sec
ond award. Established to
stimulate interest in high
quality literary work, com
petition for the awards will
be open to anyone in the
university, either graduate or
undergraduate.
Ernest Haycox, who died in
1950, was an active alumnus
of the university. During his
college years he took creative
writing under W. F. G. Tha
cher, emeritus professor of
English. He was the author
of many short stories and
novels of the west. Some of
them are grounded in the Ore
gon country. Television rights
to a number of his works are
now being purchased, accord
ing to Mrs. Haycox. A num
ber already have been the
subject for motion pictures.
MAN-MADE BIRDS These are models of Russian-de-
signed "Ornithocopters" wing-flapping aircraft which
it is claimed can be used conveniently for flights over

I model powered with a motorcycle engine. Moscow radio
I claims that the lift of the wing-flapping aircraft is about

Citizens CSub Meets
Union Cleanup
Pushed On Local
Washington OF The

Saturday pressed its demand

once the union's sixth vice
president, and with William
E. Iialoney, now the union's'
international president.
Maloney was described in j
committee testimony Friday
as the arbitrary ruler of some
70 per cent of the union's lo
cals. This prompted Chairman

demand a labor clean-up. He
called administration of the
270.000-member construction
union a "national disgrace." j
In other previous testimony
the committee was told of
' hidden profits" reaped by of
ficers of Operating Engineers ;
