MONDAY, AUGUST I. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Washington Report By WILLIAM RETURN TO YESTERDAY Chicago - They have re- turned to yesterday. The Re publican National convention here was con sciously and carefully full of nostag 1 i a and remem brance. It was designed - and in this it largely suc-ceeded-to William s provide me hiiB sharpest con . irast to the Democratic con vention in Los Angeles. That was a powerful, modern show; the effort here . was to present an old-fashioned show - to present the Re . .publican party as the party of decorum and tradition. The conduct of the new . GOP presidential nominee, Richard Nixon, from first to last has been keyed to this . note. The impression left is that the Republicans propose ..to run their campaign on the '.front porches of the small . towns. THUS the platform adopted here is rather more con servative than that of the Democrats. Actually, all that . has happened here has shown the GOP rank and file to be iore attached to the party's .. old guard tradition than to its ..comparatively liberal Eisenhower-Nixon wing. .'. The true hero of the con- vention was not the man nominated by it for President; the true hero was Sen. Barry " Goldwater of Arizona, who has become the new head of right-wing Republicanism. The cheers for Goldwater . -that rose from the convention ".floor were deeply-felt cheers. Most people would agree that If Nixon had not already and inevitably locked up the nomi . .nation, it might well have gone, assuming a free choice on the floor, to Goldwater. i - There has been something of William McKinlcy here. " There has been something of 'Robert A. Taft here. There has not been much devotion . Tiere among the delegates -oddly enough - to the Eisen- .. hower administration or even to Nixon. His own decision to adopt a slightly left-ot-ccnter position has been accepted, tmt not cheerfully. 7T1HE prevailing view here - A from beginning to end was : not really for such a course; :.lt was for old-time Republi- canism. Eisenhower was pop .. ular here mostly because he is officially a Republican; his . ideas were far from popular. What it probably indicates ..'for the fall is a campaign in which Nixon himself will 1 take a "modern" Republican . line - but will find himself . far in advance of the rank and ' Jile of his party. Party discipline here has . been very strong; Goldwater ' has plainly and strongly told :: Get a bigger slice of living ... . open a savings account with us! : . Slice your income any way you want . . . but put . one slice, regularly, in a savings account with us. :". Here your money will earn more money for . you . . . and get you more of the ; good things of life. Twenty-five .- million savers are getting a bigger ' slice of living the Insured Savings .- and Loan way. Why don't you ?

WHITE his right-wing followers that they simply must go along with Nixon. All the same, the right-wingers are not really happy. There is a curious irony in it all! Nixon will be described by the Democrats as too conservative, whereas most of the Republican party actually thinks he is too lib eral. His tactics for the coming struggle, meanwhile, are al ready clear. He is going to take and maintain a very high-level position. He will say nothing harsh of the Democratic ticket of Kennedy and Johnson. He will offer himself as a grave and sober man in an era of world crises. Whatever "tough" work may be done against the Demo crats will not be done by Nixon. For he. too, has surely been influenced here by a Re publican mood which is con cerned more with tradition than with modernism. Children Happy To See Mother Windsor, Ont. - lUPIl - Three Tecumseh, Ont., teen-agers who spent the last 11 years indoors probably ivill be sent home within a few days, ac cording to a Children's Aid Society officials. John Bevan, Windsor di rector of the society, said it was unlikely Mrs. Shirley Leach or her husband will face any charges. Mrs. Leach saw her three children, Constance, 18; Gor don, 14, and Glenda, 13, Sun day for the first time since they were discovered in the house Thursday. They were happy to see their mother again, hospital officials said, although they have been "having a ball" in their hos pital ward. Medical tests showed the three children are suffering from a pituitary gland disor der and according to one doc tor their confinement had lit tle or nothing to do with their diminutive stature. Mrs. Leach said she kept the three youngsters indoors all the time because she was afraid people would laugh at them. "In Detroit the chil dren were ridiculed by their playmates because of their size and I didn't want them tortured over here," she ex plained. ACTRESS DIES Washington Twp., N.J.-iUPIl-Margaret L. Evans, 64. who acted on Broadway and in motion pictures under the name of Margie Evans, died Friday. CUP OFFICIAL DIES Easton, Pa. - (UPll - Cecil F. Dawson, 67, former president and board chairman of the Dixie Cup Co., died Sunday night at Easton hospital. Assn. of Medford Robert F. Kyle, Manager Try and By BENNETT CERF- HHE FRIARS is a theatrical club in New York, famous -L for testimonial dinners where the guests of honor are insulted by experts. The more outrageous the insults, the higher the guest knows he stands in the esteem of his jocular vilifiers. Its dinner in honor of Jack Benny some years ago was probably the greatest of its kind: biggest tab, biggest program, big gest guest list of VIP'S. While Geor ge Jessel was insulting Bennyi Ber nard Baruch appeared, and the crowd turned to greet him. Jessel mag nanimously forgave Baruch, but only, he pointed out, "because this intruder has saved our coun try five or six times." After Benny had been persuaded to play "Love in Bloom" on his fiddle, the late Fred Allen jumped up to remark, "Jack Benny is the only violinist who makes you feel the strings would sound better in the cat." Herb Shrincr insists that one of his follow townsmen lias so many gold teeth he sleeps with his head in a safe. 1960. by Bennett Cert. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. 'Bugs' in Electra Passenger Planes Lockheed To Fix Burbank, Calif. - (UPll - Lockheed Aircraft will bring every one of its 134 prop-iet Electra airliners back to the factory to eliminate a "bug" that caused two fatal crashes. Th modifications at Lock heed's plant here will cost al most S25 million, a company spokesman told UPI. Lock heed Vice President M. C. Haddon said the firm will assume a major share of spe cific improvement costs." Haddon said the first im proved Electra would be ready for federal aviation agency tests and certification by Nov. 1. All the big planes operated by 13 airlines were scheduled to be fixed by the middle of next year. To Make Other Changes In announcing the modifi cation program Sunday night, Haddon said the company also would make other structural changes designed to make the Electra the strongest aircraft of its type in service. The aircraft have been fly ing at reduced speeds since a Northwest Electra crashed near Tell City. Ind., March 17 killing all 63 aboard. Sub sequent investigation d i s closed a structural weakness that could cause a wing , to fail under freakish circum stances.

Investigation disclosed these mounts vibrat ed sufficiently to cause the engine to shift its position. At a certain speed, vibra tion created a further strain on the mounts and a chain re action began to transmit the engine movements to the wing. The culmination of this reaction was a flutter so vi olent the wing separated from the fuselage. Security Agency Employees Sought Washington-lUPH-The FBI is searching for two missing em ployees of the super- secret National Security agency, the Defense department disclosed today.

You In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Aftermath: It looks like the Republi cans will stand and fight on foreign affairs as the VITAL issue facing our nation in this campaign year of liltiO. The Democrats will do battle under the banner of the more abundant life. 'PHIS IS the situation: 1 The GOP is numerical ly weak. There are far FEWER registered Republi cans than registered Demo crats. The Democrats are nu merically superior. In the registration figures, they far outnumber the Republicans. IN BETWEEN is a vast body of voters who can go either way in the general election this November. The job of the Republican party is to PULL OVER enough of these in-bet weeners to win the critical IStfiO election. ASSUMING that the GOP decision is to base its case on foreign affairs, this will be its story. Nixon and Lodge are bet ter equipped by EXPERI ENCE than Kennedy and Johnson to handle our na tion's foreign affairs in this critical period. Both arc vet erans of the cold war battle for men's minds. Nixon has been second in command on r side. lie has stood up against Comnuiists all over the world, and hasn't flinched when the going got rough. He stood up to Khrushchev in the in-fighting of the famous kitchen spat and traded blow for blow. In the recent battle in Unit ed Nations over our shot-down bomber, Lodge distinguished himself. He stood toe-to-toc with the Communists and slug ged it out with them. He cer tainly gave as good as ho got. He came fresh from that bat tle to Chicago, and TV view ers saw him gel almost an adoring reception on the con vention floor. rpi-lIS WILL be the argil The more abundant life is a domestic bread and butler issue.

Business is good, mind you. but it is not as brisk as had been anticipated six months ago. Disposable personal in come and outstanding consum er credit have continued to rise but retail appliance sales are not rising in proportion. lhis has caused many of the experts to revise their earlier forecasts of a record year in lilliO for the appliance industry. The NCO Consulting serv ice of the National Credit Office here notes that manu facturer reports indicate ship ments in the first six monlhs this year declined in all cate gories of major appliances with I ho exception of dish washers, food wasle disposers and the increasing popular built-in ranges. Declines were most severe in water heater and home laundry lines. The service points out that inventories were built up sharply following the steel strike last year, and fairly good first quarter business served to encourage optimism as sales of most producers showed continued gains. 1959 Was Banner Year But the second q u a r t e r showed factory inventories have climbed materially as shipments have declined." and some evidence of price-cutting has appeared, a situation that was not a problem last year.
