V MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. OREGON Conservatives Are Becoming Impatient For Announcement MONDAY, MARCH It, 1963 -fx aairt Mam Wilson By LYLE C. WILSON United Presi International Washington-IUPD - Conserva tives are becoming impatient for Sen. Barry Goldwater (R Ariz.) to announce his candi dacy for the R e p u b lican n o m i nation. Before they chivvy the senator into c o m m i t ing himself, the R e p u b lican c onservatives should consid er their own sorry political record since World War I. Goldwater is familiar with that record. That is reason enough for him to hestitate long before committing himself to a pre convention campaign for the Republican presidential nom ination. Republican conservatives have not since 1924 nominated their conservative candidate for president. Their man in 1924 was Calvin Coolidge, al ready president by succession to Warren G. Harding who died in office Aug. 22, 1923 Actively Opposed Thereafter, the Republicans nominated candidates actively opposed by the conservative party factions Herbert Hoover, Alf M. Landon, Wen dell L. Willkie, Thomas E. Dewey, Dwight D. Eisenhow er. Richard M. Nixon had conservative support in 1960 but he lost much of it dur ing (he Republican National Convention and more of it before the campaign ended. Republican conservatives have mighty liitle to offer their hero, Goldwater, except an opportunity to get his po litical brains knocked out at the 1964 Republican Nation al Convention. Goldwater anyone deserves a better deal than that. The argument against nom inating for president a con servative Republican or a con servative Democrat is both simple and effective. The ar gument is that a conservative cannot win the electoral votes of the populous industrial states whose politics is dom inated by big cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, St. Louis. Some of Big States It is further argued that it is impossible to elect a presidential candidate without some or all of the big states. And there is another import ant factor working against conservatives in the national political conventions. That is the need of big city political leaders to nominate for presi dent candidates who will ap peal strongly to the various blocs of big city voters. With outs this bloc support the big city political leader would be out of business. These blocs include the labor vote insofar as it is controlled or delivered by labor bosses, the Negro and other ethnic groups and so on. U. S. senators and gover nors with big cities within their constituencies equally must oppose nomination of a conservative presidential can didate. The senators, gover nors and state political boss es demand a presidential candidate who can rally the bloc voters, the balance-of-power elements of American politics. Some conservative Repub licans believe that they have tne answer to this problem. It is for the Republican party to forget the liberal bloc vot ers in the North, the Negro, labor, ethnic bloc, and to go after the conservative, white Southern voters. Some Gold water enthusiasts believe their man could be elected without elcctorial voles from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New England, Michigan, Missouri, Washing ton, Oregon and California. These conservatives may be wrong but they are political realists. If they have no fu ture in the North, they must look elsewhere. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS It was announced the other day that Red China's Mao has invited Red Russia's Mr. Kroosh to COME TO PEKING to discuss the differences that exist between the two big units of the communist world. Question: Will he go? And if not, why not? IT'S an interesting question. Dispatches tell us that Washington authorities who have followed the conflict through hundreds of thou sands of words since it came into the open about three years ago find it hard to be lieve thai Khrushchev can ac cept Mao's invitation to come to the Red Chinese capital at any time in the near future without risking a serious loss of face. OUR Washington people think that if the Red Chi nese had given any indication that the way was open to a settlement and that they were prepared to accept Soviet lead ership of the whole Commu nist bloc Khrushchev could go to Peking to score a tri umph. But If he goes on MAO'S TERMS, his- action will be construed as a sign of weak ness on his part, and evidence that Russia needs the Chinese Meeting Set by Hereford Group Dr. Frank G. Bennet, Chico, president of the California Hereford association, will speak on what the California Hereford association is doing to progress when he talks to the Cal-Ore Hereford associa tion at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 21, at North's Chuck Wagon. The California association has held a number of sales to promote the breed. He also will speak on dual grading. The debate on creep feed ing calves held at the recent winter Hereford ranch tour will be continued. worse than the Chinese need Russia. That would be bad for Kroosh. WHAT will come of it? For an answer, let's go back into history which is immensely valuable because of the demonstrated fact that what has happened once may happen again. WHEN Mahomet introduced Mohammedanism to t h e Arabs, they were cautious about accepting it and asked for proof of his miraculous powers. Mahomet then order ed Mount Safa to come to him. When the mountain did not move, Mahomet said: "Allah is merciful. Had the mountain obeyed my words, it would have fallen on us to our destruction. I will there fore GO TO THE MOUNTAIN and thank Allah that he has had mercy on a stiff-necked generation." OLD Mao has invited Mr. Kroosh to come to Pe king. If Mr. Kroosh refuses to come, Old Mao may shrug his shoulders and say with Ma homet: "If Kroosh won't come to Mao, Mao will come to Kroosh." We'll see what we'll see. Property Damage Results from Break-in Considerable property dam age was done at Phoenix High school when it was burglar ized some time Friday night or early Saturday morning, Jackson county sheriff's depu ties reported. Thieves broke in or pried open several doors and a num ber of windows were broken, deputies said.

His company retirement plan gives him security, and time fo'r model railroading, but his big enthusiasm is still Standard Oil Company. and is still one of the "Boys" at the refinery. He knows that he belongs. It isn't the spoken thanks that do it; but your lasting interest in a man, your counting him as a person and not a statistic, these are the things that liven his spirit. We have thousands of such fine men and women on our retirement payroll. If you know some of them, you know that they, too, are ardent Standard Oilers. Bill keeps close to us, and we to him.
