fAOt POURTKN HERALD ANO NIWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OR ICON Stiff Fight Looms In Ohio Primary As Taft Stassen Plan Campaigns WASHINGTON. April 17 ( Wblle republicans In Idaho hrid a partv meetlnr to plrk 11 deleratee la the national convention, main political Inlereat centered today on GOP primary two week off. A stiff fight in shaping up in the May 4 Ohio contest, where Harold E. Btassen and Senator Rob ert A. Taft are due to lock horns. Taft last night suddenly abandoned a scheduled speaking tour In Ver mont to concentrate on the coming bsttle in his home state. The Idaho political event was one of two on Up for today. The other was In Kentucky, where democrat John A. Whltaker Is unopposed In a special congressional election for the seat of Earle C. Clements, now the state's governor. Idaho's OOP delegates are ei peeted to go to the Philadelphia nominating convention without In structions. But the Ohio elections may test the strength of the re publican hopefuls who hare slates entered. M Contests StAssen, who looms large in the nationwide republican race follow ing decisive victories in Wisconsin and Nebraska, has entered contests for 23 of Ohio's 53 delegates. The Mlnnesotan was due to fly to Florida today to bid for that state's 16 convention votes. "Things are looking very favorable for us there." he said. In Cleveland, meanwhile. Taft aald almost exactly the same about his prospects In Ohio, where Stas aen's supporters are claiming IS to 1 votes. "Things are generally fa vorable." the senator said. At the same time. President Tru man, who Is being opposed within his own party for the democratic nomination, received a commenda tion from the New York state dem ocratic committee. Though the committee made no effort to Instruct the It deleiales-at-large It selected. Its resolution was considered aa a sign that the president may get a big share of New York's M convention role. Mrs. Roosevelt Said Better BEVERLY HILLS. Calif., April 17 ii Mrs. James Roosevelt was reported recovering today from the effects of mixing headache and Neeuuig tablets. . ' She remained at St. Johns hos pital in nearby Santa Monica last night, but doctors said she was out of danger. Her husband. FDR's eldest son. gave this explanation of the mis take which sent Mrs. Roosevelt. 32, to the hospital in a coma. She had been suffering from severe headaches and the doctor had given her headache tablets. She took some at bedtime, more at about 10 p. m. Thursday. Then about 3 a. m. yesterday, still suffering, she got up and by mistake took tablets from the wrong bottle. It contained sleeping tablets. "The doctor tells me the combi nation was too much for her," added Roosevelt, who is chairman of the California democratic cen tral committee. He said he did not know how many of the two kinds of tablets she took. Mrs. Roosevelt, said her husband, had been worrying about the ill ness of two of their three young children, the oldest 29 months. North Entrance Job Meant Moving Polti Boyle's Column Slow But Sure, The Old Free Lunch Is Coming Back CSV ma Br HAL BOYLE NEW YORK, April 17 JPi The oldtime "free lunch" is back at least It has one foot in the bar room door. It la coming back the hard way. one street at a time. Rat cheese and salami sand wiches now bloom again in scat tered bars in the shadow of the "el" like spring flowers poking up through old snow. And bar flies excuse me. gentlemen with a dime are greeting them with glad cries. In the t o n I e r estab lishments even the pickle la back. ftnlv A Mnrvl The new free HAL BOYLE lunch I only a morsel of It old robust self. But Its comeback on Third avenue It significant. Why? Because Third avenue is to the elbow - bending gentry what the Aberdeen proving ground Is to ar tillery testing field that sets the trend. In the bars along this noisy thoroughfare where roaring over head "el" trains make conversation a muscular feat. Park avenue comes to ogle "the characters." "The characters" like to ogle right back. Fads that become popular here often set the pattern for the town spread one way by "the charac ters" and the other by the pent house "swells." This may spell a new future for the free lunch. Time was when the free lunch was big enough to give a harvest hand the colic Remember? For a nickel beer a hungry citi zen of good standing could waddle over to a counter creaking under plates stacked with roast beef, baked ham, boiled ham, oysters, steamed clams, three kinds of cheese, hardbolled eggs, lunch meats, pickles, relish, stacked bread and huge slices of raw white on ion, fragrant of Bermuda. In the classier joints a burly bartender with a "keep off" look stood guard to shoo customers with run-down heels away from the trough. What happened to the "free lunch?" "What happened to it?" said one bartender. "They Just ate it all up. Too many people got to thinking saloons were boarding houses." Prohibition Blow Others say It was buried with prohibition. It didn't die out en tirely, however. It survived in anemic form in the present cock tail hour custom of serving can apes. These one-blte-and-they're-all-gone sandwiches are so tiny that a big man can lose one In a hollow tooth. These revolting delicacies, con sumed more In sorrow than in anger, are blamed by some elderly bartenders as the real cause of In creasing jitters among their un steadier clients. "They're too small to support a vitamin." said one gloomily. "And what's in 'em little bitty fish in erl. stuff that looks and tastes like toothpaste, cheese that don't even have a smell, and eggs that come out of a sturgeon instead of a hen. No wonder people get the shakes." But if the free lunch makes a real comeback the canapes will be cut out the hors d'oeuvres will have had their hour. This will be true in the homes as well as in the bars. Whether she wants or not, a hostess mill have to serve her cock tail guests king-sized pastrami sandwiches instead of embalmed minnows. That'll be the dayl Truckers League To Meet April 24 Tne soutnem Oregon Truckers league formed In Medford March 27, will meet at 3 p. m. Saturday, April 24. at the Medford chamber of com merce.

Prix'tor Is In his fourth year of law, You needn't wait another day to enjoy your Magnavox! Some Political Gleanings ly HALE SCARIROUGH- If Klamath county nas a popula tion of 50.000 right now. laws of nature would see to it that at least 25.000 persons are of voting age. 21 years or over . . . A year ago the county showed a registered voting strength of 18.000. and since that time about 5000 names have been cut off the books and probably another 3000 put back on . . . That makes about 16.000 reg istrants. So about 9000 persons aren't on the lists at all . . . If they don't register they can't i ..te ... if they can't vote they're not full citizens . . . Uiese half citizens have from now until 5 p. m. next Tuesday to qualify as full Americans . . . It so happens that three of the IB candidates for sheriff of Klamath county are connected In one capac ity or another with the Infrequent professional boxing shows staged at the armory . . . Democrat Wally Moss as referee. Republican Jack Franey as ring announcer and Dem ocrat Larry McClane as trainer and handler of several of the boxers. May 21 will show whether any of them pack a knockout punch . . . The multi-candidate sheriff race has focused more attention on Klamath county than any political happening since Willis Mahoney ran for and became mayor on a write-in campaign. It even has the feature writers of the metropolitan papers interested in our doings . . . Somebody ought to get up a pool on how many write-in votes Lloyd Low is going to get . . . Virtually everyone who drops Into the court house to see Lloyd asks: "Well, who's going to be elected sheriff?" The stock reply is: "I don't know, but here's the boy I'd like to see get it ... " Accompanied, of course, by the business of fishing out a card bearing the name and picture of Pete Uerllngs . , . Don't forget U.at Klamath Falls will have to elect a mayor and a couple of city councilmen next No vember, along with everything else, and there'll probably be no small number of aspirants to those jobs . . . A few who have already been mentioned for mayor include Walt Wiesendanger, Lynn Roycroft, Al Condrey, Paul Landry, W. D. Mil ler . . . Ed Ostendorf. the present mayor, who claims he was just about to re tire from everything In 1941 when the war broke out, is seeking greener pastures of the state legislature . . . Mrs. Wally Moss report that her husband and democrat candidate for sheriff should be completely re covered from his broken back within a week or so of the primary. Wally Is In a hospital at Portland now . . . Mrs. Moss makes a very good pitch for her husband In campaigning . . . Bring yov cr ,o os for broke inspection and adjustment it needed.

A cautious bunch, their tendency toward understatement now and then lets ui overlook some mighty good beta. About all they wanted to aay about their new Ili-Polted power wai that it went much further than anything elae they knew toward controlling engine vibration frequencies. They let us say It would make engine sensation "practically Imper ceptible." That It would do away with a lot of shudder that often passes for clutch chatter. That It would "have an effect" on riding softness and quiet. "Sweetest ride of any car," they tell us. "Such smoothness It's unbeliev able!" "What have you done? It's wonderful!" Wei, r ell ! Folks have now had a chance to try out our '48 beauties with Ill Poised power and you should hear what I hey say! that we did was apply a wholly new system of engine mounting. It's a system that suspends the en gine, much as In a cradle.Thls leaves It free to rock, bob or "wag Its tall" (as every engine must) yet main tains firm control of such movement at all times and speeds. Add this to other things big, soft tires on eitrawide Safety-Ride rims; gentle coil springs on all fourwheels; ample size and weight to master jounce and Jitter and what do you get? A definitely "sweeter" feel to the whole car. Soft, level going with firm, sure footing. Lightness with positive and dependable control. In a phrase "the sweetest riding story ever told," as it hits been put. Naturally, we'd like to have you sirs up our new Vibra-Shlolded ride too. After all, there's more toany car than meets the eye, even in this eye winning beauty. And inityhe this sweet and lovely ride Is Just what you'vc.bccn waiting for.
