Political note from Wash
ington: The only woman U.S. sena
tor believes Republican vice
presidential hopefuls should
file in the Oregon, Ohio and
New Hampshire primaries.
Senator Margaret Chase
Smith (R-Maine), who herself
is considered A POSSIBLE
CHOICE FOR THE NO. 2
SPOT ON THE GOP TICKET,
did not indicate whether she
would do so. But she said
potential candidates should
test their strength with the
voters.

PLANS TRIP Former Argentine Dictator Juan D. Peron
relaxes in Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic over the
week end as he tells newsmen that he plans making a trip
to Europe. A Peron aid disclosed that Peron plans to leave
for Europe today. The spokesman said. Peron, who has been
in exile five years, "possibly will go to Lisbon or the Spanish
cities of Sevilla or Malaga after a brief stopover in San Juan,
Puerto Rico." (UPI Telephoto)
In our history, the possi
bility that the vice president
may become President has al
ways been strong. Washing
ton was our first President.
John Adams was his vice pres
ident. John Adams became our
second President. His vice
President was Thomas Jeffer
son. In the Presidential elec
tion of 1800, Aaron Burr tied
Jefferson. When the house of
representatives, acting under
the constitution, chose Jeffer
son, Burr became the third
vice president of the United
States.
But for the duel (in July,
1804) in which he killed Alex
ander Hamilton, plus charges
of treason arising out of a
conspiracy to seize Mexico for
the U.S. or to have the West
ern states secede from the
Union, Burr would probably
have succeeded to the Presi
dency, as had his predeces
sors. He was cleared of the
charge of treason, but the
scandals arising out of his duel
and his alleged conspiracy
ruled him out as Presidential
timber'. Thus the precedent
of succession from the vice
presidency to the Presidency
was broken.
a President dies in office, the
! vice president succeeds him.
AND-
In recent years-
The idea seems to be grow
ing that the vice presidency
is a sort of APPRENTICE
SHIP for the Presidency. In
any event, we seem to be
abandoning the idea, current
m the mid-years of our career
as a nation, that JUST ANY
BODY who is non-entity
enough not to have made too
many enemies, and politician
enough to be a good vote-get
ter, is an ideal candidate for
vice president and RETURN
ING to the idea, current in
the years of our infancy as
a nation, that the vice presi
dency is a natural stepping
stone to the Presidency.
That brings us back to the
suggestion of Margaret Chase
Smith as a possible choice for
the No. 2 spot on the GOP
ticket.
Mo rse and Bu tie r to
State Democratic Co
IiHE possibility that the vice
president of the United
States will become the Presi
dent of the United States is
strong. There is death to be
considered. Three Presidents
of the United States have been
assassinated President Lin
coln in 1865, President Gar
field in 1881 and President
McKinley in 1901.
The strains of the Presi
dency are great. Subjected to
these strains, men DIE. When

without any provision for pay

Maybe it's time for a wo

Agents Tight-Lipped
On Spears Probe
Phoenix, Ariz. - (UPI) - FBI

liner in the Gulf of Mexico.

Home Destroyed by
Puna Eruption
Koae, Hawaii (UPD The
Puna eruption on Hawaii de
stroyed one home Tuesday,
threatened two others and
cracked open the earth near
Warm Springs Junction.
The home of Harry Kenoi
was burned in a brush fire
touched off by falling hot cin
ders. It was the eighth home
destroyed since the eruption
began two weeks ago today.
Meanwhile, the lava flow
advanced slowly on aban
doned houses owned by Wil
liam Eldergs and Rose Swain.
At the main eruption front
at Kapoho, a slow but force
ful flow of lava exerted new
pressure on dikes built to di
vert the flow. Massive chunks
of lava crept to the top of the
barrier below Kapoho, but
moved slowly enough to cool
before they could spill over.

Porter Asks That
$19 Million Be
Added for Forests
Washington - Congressman
Charles O. Porter has urged
the House Committee on Ap
propriations to add $19,000,
000 to the forest service budg
et to keep its forest improve
ment program on schedule.
Porter said in his prepared
testimony Monday that the
sum was necessary to keep
the program for the national
forests going.
He told the committee,
which is considering the budg
et for the forest service and
the bureau of land manage
ment, "I cannot over-emphasize
my concern that our for
ests must be in a position to
make the maximum contribu
tion if we are to compete suc
cessfully with the rapidly ex
panding Russian economy."
Porter pointed out that the
forest service budget submit
ted by the President was well
below the amount the Depart
ment of Agriculture had said
in 1959 it would need to meet
the requirements of the fu
ture. Handsome Dividends
The Oregon congressman
said that national forests in
his state were bringing hand
some dividends to the U.S.
treasury for every penny allo
cated to them. He also urged
specifically:
1. The approval of the addi
tional $805,000 item for
Northwest timber sales in the
forest service budget.
2. The approval of the BLM
budget as submitted. Porter
noted that substantial capital
investments in roads and re
forestation on O and C lands
are financed by the counties
from monies that would nor
mally be paid to them. He
commended the sound fiscal
relationship existing between
local and federal authorities.
Porter suggested to the
committee that it:
1. Make sure timber access
roads are of uniform high
quality whether they are con
structed by timber purchasers
or with appropriated funds.
2. Coordinate timber sales
activities of the forest service
and the bureau of land man
agement. He suggested that
considerable savings might be
achieved if sales were made
on a lump-sum basis rather
than on log scale and urged
that a study be made.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
JOHN FULLER tells about an unfortunate day on the lot
at Makemquick Pictures. In the final scene, the one that
cost more than all the rest of the picture, an elaborate man
sion was to be burned to :
the ground. The blaze
wasn't spectacular
enough, however, to
satisfy the producer
until a quick-witted
technician bethought
himself of thousands of
feet of old film. He tossed
them into the fire which
shot up in "spectacular
fashion and everybody
was h a p p y until the
producer discovered the
burned footage was the
entire negative of the
rest of the picture.

Smitten with love, a brave toreador vowed, "Senorita, tonight
I will stand beneath your balcony and serenade you for hours."
"And I," responded the senorita, "will drop you a flower."
"In a moment of love? queried the thrilled toreador. "Not at
all," countered the heartless senorita. "In a pot."
