o o MONDAY. JUNE IS. 186 West Finds Political Tricks Largely Unchanged Since 1840 By DICK WEST Washington -IUPD- "One of the most remarkable peculiari ties of the present time Is that the principal leaders of the political par ties are travel ing about the country from state to state, and holding forth, like Method! st p r e a c h e rs, Dick wit nour alter hour to the assembled multi tudes." So wrote John Qulncy Ad ams in his diary on Oct. 1, 1840. The Van Buren-Harrison campaign was then in full swing and old J. Q. viewed the proceedings with asperity. I can't say that I blame him. It was from this campaign that much of our present day political foolishness evolved. Adams had due cause for alarm. I have been steeping myself in American presidential cam paign lore at an exhibit of old-time political parapherna lia prepared by the Smithson ian Institution. Techniques Similar Times may have changed since then but campaign tech niques, except for the develop ment of the tele-prompter, have remained fairly constant. - William Henry Harrison, who won the election, came from the Virginia aristocracy, was the richest man in Ohio and owned a fine house. It was only natural that his cam paign symbol was a log cabin. One of the charges made against Van Buren was that he had spent $9,000 of the "people's money" on an im ported Brussels carpet for the White House. If that has a contemporary ring to it, let Nixon, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Johnson and Symington make the most of it. One thing the old campaign ers didn't do, however, was be.coy with each other. I wish I could say the same for the current crop of politicos. Circulate Memorandum A couple of months ago, a Democratic group here circu lated a memorandum under the heading "Republican 'Pay ola' records." It attempted to josh about alleged conflict of interest cases in the GOP by tying them in with House disc Jockey investigation. I can give you some idea of Its contents by reporting that the song listed after Sherman Adams' name was "Button Up Your Overcoat." I had no sooner recovered from this when a Republican group put out a "political birdwatcher's guide." It was replete with descriptions of the "big - billed jackanapes (Kennedesis silver spoon)," the "high flying gap jumper (symingtonia missileaneous)," and the "major leader bird (lyndonicus johnsonium)." Employment Topic For TV Program David H. Cameron, commis sioner for Oregon'! depart ment of employment, will ap pear on "Dateline Statehouse" at 10:45 o'clock tonight over KBES-TV, Medford.

Riverside Neighbor of Oregon Food Store ill! Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF CORNELIA OTIS SrwINNER has a well-nursed grievance against "those wretched unknowns who are responsible for American packaging." She calls them "those wizards of cardboard, waxed paper, cellophane, tape with red tabs saying 'Pull,' red dots saying 'Push,' semi-perforated hyphen lines saying 'Open here,' who are responsible for causing our consumer goods to reach us in box es, containers, wrappers, and cartons that are not only increasingly hideous, but increasingly unopen- able." Wow! Any member of the packaging fraternity care to rebut the angry Miss Skinner? Sign outside the clubhouse at a new metropolitan race track: "Don't atep on the grass.

Distributed bjr Kins Features Syndlcata What Is The Law? This column is prepared as a public service by the Colleqe of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to xplain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. A tenant cannot change the condition of 1 the landlord's property. Ted leased a farm from Lyle for five years. The first year he was on the farm Ted did' the following: (1) cut down and sold 25 fir trees standing on the farm; (2) razed an old building which had been serving as a chicken house for many years and re placed it with a granary worth three times as much as the old chicken house; (3) failed to repair a leak in the roof of the dwelling on the farm and plaster and wall paper was severely damaged. The lease is silent regarding the rights of the tenant in these matters. Is Ted liable to Lyle as a result of these acts? Law of 'Waste' The answers to the above questions involve the law of "waste." Generally speaking, a tenant must return the premises to the landlord at the end of the lease in sub stantially the same condition that they were in when the lease commenced "fair" wear and tear excepted." If he failed to live up to this re quirement he has committed waste. Ted obviously was out of line when he cut down the trees. A tenant can cut down trees for fire and generally repair and improve the premises, but he cannot other wise reduce the value of the land by taking from it val uable natural resources. In rare cases, where there has been logging operations in the past and the land is only good for logging, the tenant might be able to sell timber from the land. Of course, if the lease authorizes logging the terms of the lease control. Difficult Problem The razing of the chicken house and construction of the granary creates a more dif ficult problem. It is hard to accept the fact that Ted might be guilty of committing waste when he has increased the value of the premises. How ever, Lyle is entitled to have the land returned to him in substantially the same con dition that It was In when he turned It over to Ted, and un less Ted can show that his ac CARPET SALE LAURINE'S ' YARDAGE 30 Tards Save t 40.00 40 Yatdt Save 10.00 SO Yards 1 Save 100.00 OR EVEN MORE PRICES CUT ON DU PONT NYLON FINEST WOOLS (EST COTTONS FINE ACRILAN Cheese Fkt.rcev.rrii. fre-m Seecialhtt 0 tions were justified he may have to replace the chicken house. Unless there are un foreseen circumstances a ten ant is not permitted to make structual changes in buildings or any substantial change in the physical character of the land even though his activity increases its net worth. When Ted failed to repair the leaky roof he committed what is called "permissive waste." The "fair wear and tear" allowance does not mean that the tenant can permit the premises to deteriorate faster than is normal and reasonable upkeep is required. If the lease provided that Lyle would keep the premises in good repair Ted would be re lieved of all resDonsibilitv for the leaky roof when he notified Lyle of the condition Girls Arrested on Murder Suspicion Pomona, Calif. -(UPD- Two girls aged 16 and 18, were ar rested on suspicion of murder and car theft Sunday when a motorist either was pushed or fell from his car as the girls drove it away. Detective Lt. Don K. Moon ey said Mrs. Elaine Stander fer, 18, and Elsie Diaz, 16, started to drive Donald R. Hailey's auto from a service station and he jumped on the front. Hailey, 21, was found dead a short way down the street. The girls said they had been riding with Hailey and decid ed to take his car when he stopped in a service station, Mooney reported. They claim ed they thought Hailey jump ed from the car when they began gathering speed. London-IUPD-The following ad appeared today in the Times of London: "House-hunting American executive, wearying of look in gat shabby places in Ed wardian decor, seeks well furnished, well-decorated house or flat with modern fa cilities, central heating . . send full details: Too footsore to follow up on monstrosities done by inferior desecralors.'

In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Foreign aid note: A House of Representatives subcommittee votes to slice about . 800 million dollars from President Eisenhower's original request for $4,175, 000,000 (four billion, 175 mil lion) in foreign aid runds. WOULD that be good? Or wntllH it hp harf? I wouldn't know. But . . . so far . . . we haven't had much luck BUYING FRIENDS. WHAT of the Marshall Plan? The Marshall Plan nrscn't designed to buy friends. Its purpose was to help bind up trie wounds of our allies in World War II who had suf fered more grievously than we. That's a different story. WHAT of this Jap business ' ' In Tokyo - in which thou sands of screaming, fanatical LEFTISTS mobbed President ial Secretary James Hagerty in a violent protest against President Eisenhower's forth coming visit to Japan? rpHAT, too, is another story. Charles Smith, UPI's cor respondent on the spot, tells it thus: "The frenzied mob of at least 5,000 shouted 'G- d- Ei senhower" and "Yankee go home" as it overwhelmed the 2,000 police who rushed to the scene. An additional 15,000 demonstrators milled outside the airport trying to get to Hagerty, and additional thou sands besieged the heavily guarded U.S. embassy. "Fighting broke out be tween police and the mob and between black-shirted right ists and the extreme left wing students who led the demon strations. The leftists SANG THE COMMUNIST 'INTER NATIONALE' as they bat tered Hagerty's car and tried to turn it over." WHAT'S the Communist "Internationale?" It is the official song of the Communist party. It is a hate filled, bone - chilling chant that resembles nothing so much as a savage scalp dance. Even when listened to on a record, it stands one's hair on end. WHAT was the purpose of of the demonstration? Its purpose was to BLUFF IKE OUT OF GOING TO JA PAN. Will it work? I doubt it. Ike doesn't bluff easily. Plane With 43 Forced to Land Chattanooga, Tenn. TUPIt A two -engine Eastern Airlines plane with 43 persons aboard made an emergency landing here Sunday night on one en gine after a cracked exhaust caused a fire warning. The plane was landed safe ly by the pilot, Capt. E. W. Connell of Atlanta, and the 40 passengers and three crew members aboard continued their flight to St. Louis In an other craft. The warning light flashed minutes after the plane took off. Connell cut the question able engine, put the plane Into a steep bank and returned to the airport.
