Truman Raps Nixon
At Big Demo Dinner
Washington - (UPD - Former
President Harry S. Truman
said Saturday night that Dem
ocrats won't let Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon "es
cape" from the record of the
Eisenhower administration in
this year's presidential con
test. Truman and Speaker Sam
Rayburn belittled that record
in speeches before some 5.000
Democrats attending a $100-a-plate
congressional cam
paign dinner here.
Nixon Main Target
Truman, choosing Nixon as
his chief target, said of his
long-time political foe:
Convicted Burglar
To Be Resentenced
Delbert E. Crow, Kansas
City, Mo., is to be resentenced
on charges of burglary with
explosives, according to the
Jackson county district attor
ney's office.
Crow appeared in circuit
court Friday, and Stanley
Jones, Medford attorney, was
appointed to represent him.
Crow was sentenced by Cir
cuit Judge H. K. Hanna to
25 years in the Oregon state
penitentiary for blowing the
door off the safe in the Ma
son Ehrman building in Med
'ford July 19, 1955.
However, the sentencing
was successfully appealed on
the grounds that "the matters
considered by the sentencing
judge do not appear of record
and constitutes a violation of
constitutional rights. Crow
was returned to Jackson
county last week for resen
tencing. Jacksonville, Fla. - (UPD - A

"Just think how, in addi
tion to all his natural handi
caps, he has to suffer under
the burden of carrying on his
back an administration like
this."
Noting that many Republic
an members are retiring "vol
untarily" this year, Truman
said:
"How would you feel if you
had to run for Congress on a
ticket headed by this vice
president. All I can say is
there are some things much
worse than retirement.
Rayburn Agrees
Rayburn. -in -his prepared
text, also criticized Nixon,
saying the vice president
probably would be "trying to
disavow his inheritance, but
he won't get away with it."
Rayburn dropped the refer
ence to Nixon, however, and
discarded most of his pre
pared text when he actually
spoke. He said Truman al
ready had expressed his sen
timents. In his extemporaneous re
marks, Rayburn took a verbal
slap at Eisenhower and charg
ed that "the old guard has
taken over the Republican
party body, boots and britch

The fireworks were touch

in the name of Sen. John F.

tactics, attempting to distort
Kennedy's record and in gen
eral conducting a "gutter cam

ths fehaif.es.oi low-level attack

'Brother Bobby'
Later, Humphrey issued a
stronger statement. He charg
ed that the original Kennedy
statement was not authored
by the Senator. He said it was
the work of another Kennedy
-the senator's brother, Robert.
"Jack will have plenty of
chances to speak for himself
without handouts through his
brother Bobby," Humphrey
said. "Politics is a serious
business, not a boy's game
where you can pick up the
ball and run home if things

Humphrey quickly follow

Dick Clark Will 1
Face Tough New
Quiz on Monday
Washington - IUPD - House
payola investigators Saturday
readied a tough new quiz for
Dick Clark, the nation's top
disc jockey, who according to
his own testimony did nothing
improper but was richly fav
ored by fortune.
Key members and staff ex
perts of a house subcommittee
looking into alleged side pay
ments to disc jockeys and
other "deceptive practices" in
broadcasting spent Saturday
scanning the transcript of
Clark's explanation of how he
parlayed investments of $53,
773 into a cash return so for
of $286,604 and a current net
worth of $576,590. Clark, who
underwent his first question
ing r riaay, was insiruuieu iu
return Monday morning.
"I'm going to examine Clark
rather closely Monday, prom
ised Rep. John E. Moss (D-
Calif.). "He says he took no
payola. Yet he got so many
things of value for nothing -
such things as copyrights and
cut-rate investments.
Rep. John B. Bennett (R-
Mich.) urged the subcommit
tee to make public testimony
of another disc jockey dropped
by Clark's employer, the
American Broadcasting Co.
Bennett said the activities of
the dismissed disc jockey,
Alan Freed, differed little
from Clark's.
The congressman said he ex
pects the subcommittee to
meet in closed session briefly
Monday, prior to the resump
tion of Clark's command per
formance, to vote on making
public Freed's testimony tak
en earlier in a closed session.
Freed was let go by ABC after
refusing to swear he took no
payola.

Mayor Loses Bet,
Makes Another
Mayor John Snider judged
himself the loser of a bet last
week, and immediately made
another one.
Visiting in Baker, during
nis eastern Oregon trip
president of the League of
Oregon Cities, he inspected
that town with its mayor. Bill
Jackson.
Last year he had bet Jack
son that Medford's "clean-up"
program for the Centennial
would show better results
than Baker's. And he left it
up to the president of the
league to decide.
A few weeks ago, he him
self became president of the
league, so he found himself
in the position of being 1udee
for his own wager. "What
else could I do?" he said. "I
picked Baker. It's a pretty,
neat, well-kept town."
Thursday evening, at a reg
ional league meeting in La
Grande, he presented Jackson
with a "key to the city" of
Medford, and then challenged
Baker to match the clean-up
campaign now being conduct
ed by the Medford Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Jackson said he
would convey the challenge
to the Baker Jaycees.

The U.S. Coast Guard said

would have long since been
exhausted. - - - " ' "
Capt. A. J. De Joy, Coast
Guard western area opera

"projected flight path from

square miles of ocean - an
area 5,000 miles in length by

Gluckmann's plane was
equipped with a life raft, sev
