Harrlaon. al though he came from an old and distinguished Virginia family, was pictured to the voters aa a rough frontiersman and aoldler who lived In a log cabin and drank hard cider. Van Buren was painted as an aristocrat who wore cornets nd allk stockings. Harrison licked the socks off of Van Buren.

GERMAN TREATY APPROVED . WASHINGTON 'm - The pence contract with Western Germany has been Approved by the Senate foreign Koinuons committee but with Uie understnndlng It does not broaden presidential powers to see American troops abroad. Council Gets New Hiway Proposals State Hlghwav Department pro ponnls for approxlmntely t4.uoo.ooo worth of work In and around Kin ni nth Fulls have been mnde to the Cltv Council for Its sludv and opinion. The ob proposals Include the west side bypass, which would lake US 07 around the west side of town: extension of Kit Carson way on out to a connection wilh 8. 6th to form an east side bypass: 8. 6th viaduct Improvement and one-way traffic on the more heavily-traveled streets downtown. TRAFFIC CONTROL Control of crosstown traffic should have top priority, the High way Department suggested. Its No. 1 plan lor that Is to channel south bound traffic down Main, and bring northbound travel up Klamath. That recommendation was made bv the Highway Department six years ago. but was beaten back by local downtown opposition to one way sleets and highways bypass ing the business district. Alternative plan for handling cress-town traffic suggested, but not particularly recommended, In the Highway Department's survey of locnl street needs are to have one-wav travel on Pine and Klam ath, with two-wav on Mam. or one way travel on Klamath and VVal- OVERPASS , r ' ,. Second nrlorllv Is ilvcn t th S. 6Ui viaduct, which now and lor many yenrs has been a bottleneck nn that thoroughfare. The Drooosal Is for buUdlng a second viaduct just south of the present overpass to enrry easl bound traffic. West bound trafflo would continue to use the present structure. Along with that, apparently, goes a recommendation for one-way traftlc eastbound on 8. 6th, and westbound up 8. 7th. Another one-way traffic proposal Is to send outbound travel out East Main, and bring Inbound traffic along Martin. The west side bypass, which has been in the wind for a number of vears. would start nl the 'unction of US 7 at Kit Carson, the north entrance Into town, come in along Blehn to Oregon and follow on al most a straight line along Oregon and over thr hill to beyond N. 1st. where It would veer down to cross Link River and go on out River ride, across Llndley Hetarhts and finnllv re-connect with US A7 and Oregon 66 at the Weed-Ashlnnd lunctlon. EAST SII1E BYPASS The enst side bypass highway would begin at the Esplanade-Kit Cnrson Junction and follow along with canal on out to Join with 8. 6th (Oregon 661 across the canal from Summers Lane. The Highway Department survey also enumerated several control signnls which should be estab lished, notablv one at S. 6th and Shnsla Way. Estimated costs of the various protects are: West side bypass, north end. 31.000.000: west side bypass, sou in end, $800,000: enst side bvpass (designated as the Klamnth Falls Mnlln hlRhwnyi 11.600,000: viaduct improvement 3300,000: setting up Ihe Matn-Klamath one-way couplet 3100.000; the S. 6th-S. 7th one-way couplet 353,000; the East Main Ms rtln one-wny couplet 346,000. Signals, channelisation nnd some paving to set up the one-way street couplets, with an estimated cost of 3300.000, would have to be borne partially by the city. Its share is estimated at 381,630.

Congress May Kill Controls WASHINGTON W Foes of price nnd wnge controls were re ported mapping plans Tuesday to deal a death blo to tho already battered controls extension bin. The Deiense Production act, which alves the President authority IdicorHi 01 wages.- prices, rents' and4 production, expires next Wonoay unless Congress extends It. And strong sentiment tor letting the law die was expected to oe voiced bv Republicans and South ern Democrats, who already have stripped the measure of most of Its effective price control powers. Tney appear to nave uie votes to get their way, too, when tne bill comes up for action Tuesday. Rep. Spence (D-Ky). chairman of tne House Banking Committee. said his administration forces would make an all-out light against probable let-it-die movement. A decontrol amendment by Rep. Tnlle (R-Iown). overwhelmingly adopted last Friday, would require that price controls be lifted on goods which (H have sold below ceilings for three months, or (2 nre In adequate supply that is. not rationed or allocated, no gooas now are rationed. - This was followed by a vote to abolish the present wage stabilisa tion board and replace It with an agencv limited to policy matters and without authority to maae recommendations in labor disputes, All House actions so far are only tentative and still subject to final roll call votes. The strategy of controls foes no penred aimed at riddling the bill with amendments first, then chang ing the date on the extension bill to this June 30 Uie same date Uie present law expires. This would be the snme as letting all controls die at midnight Monday. .

However, supporters of Taylor declared that he was not a party to any anti-Reed machine activity and that foes of Reed had merely seized upon Taylor's candidacy to get a younger man on the board. Reed congratulated Taylor on tne victory and pledged full support to him in his board work. RECORD VOTE In the past school elections have drawn a very small fraction of the eligible vote. For Instance, the May 14 election on the question of SI, 341, 2w city schools ouagei drew a little over 600, and that turnout was hailed as unusually large.,. In other vears school elections sometime have drawn as few as a hundred voters. Mondav's tallv was approxi mately 10 per cent of Uie electorate. AEC Plans Atom Plant WASHINGTON Wl The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) plans to build a new atomic plant. proD ably In the Ohio valley, at an esti mated cost of 1. 197.350.000. It also proposes to spend another I i billion dollars to expand two existing atomic plants and two others now under construction. The proposals are part of the development contemplated when President Truman asked Congress recently fox 13.191,000.000 for stepped-up atomic weapons pro gram. They were disclosed Tuesday In publication of testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee on a supplemental appropriations Dill. The site' for the'new plant hns not yet been selected, the AEC told the committee. Numerous groups from Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee have come to Washington in recent weeks to seek the plant for their areas. AEC Chairman Gordon Dean told the subcommittee the expan sion plan calls for expenditures of 456 million dollars at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and 450 million dollars at Uie Paducah, Ky., plant now under construction. . ... In addition, he said, the plan provides for expenditure of 346 mil lion for new facilities at Hanford, Wash., and 167 million at the Sa vannah River, B.C., plant, were materials for the projected hydro gen bomb can be made. Dean said 250 to 300 million dol lars will be saved by building ad ditional gaseous diffusion units at Paducah and Oak Ridge instead of ereotlng a new atomic plant else where. And, he added, approximately a billion dollars will be saved by putting addlUonal atomic units at Hanford and Savannah river. In stead of going to a new site.

Robert A. Taft of Ohio. The general laid down the battle iines in a television-radio speech Monday night In which he blasted isolationists and declared he was in ponucs pnm&riiy oeause ne oe- lieved peace was at stake In the contest for the COP presidential nomination. PROGRAM He outlined his own peace and world security program in this way: 1. Convince the world that Amer ica has a sincere devotion to peace and will not consider proposals for 2. Suprjort Uie United" Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organ ization, and other security agree ments as instruments tor peace. 3. Pursue a positive foreign pro gram, rather than a "hand to mouth" operation, which will line up the Allies against the enslave ment of any nation. 4. Build up spiritual ana mili tary strength which wlU convince the Russian leaders they must ac cept a just ana practical puui of world disarmament, . IN COMMAND .In lira command, ol. hist own campaign, Eisenhower left no doubt he classed Tan among tne isolation ists and that he believed a "retreat into Isolationism" would leave the United States "encircled by a sav age wolf pack" of Communism. The general didn't name Taft direcUy but his remarks were billed by Sen. Carlson (RKan). as revealing a wide foreign policy chasm between the two Republican candidates. And Eisenhower gave his approval to this billing. (James Reston of the New York Times reported that Elsenhower's speech was written after long con sultation in Denver and the first draft of the speech actually named Taft and drew attention direcUy to the differences between him and Elsenhower.) TAFT Coupled with the fact that Eisen hower recently (In private) called Taft an Isolationist, he made it clear he was shooting at Taft when he said: "Those who assert that America can retire within its own borders; those who seem to think we have litUe or no stake in the rest of the world and what happens to it: those who act as though we had no need for friends to share in the defense of freedom those persons are Ig norant or Irresponsible or they are taking an unjustified gamble with peace." MARY VIDO AND KALI IOYVEN, outfitted tn roundup garb, paused a moment to smile for the nine o'clock camera this morning. Both were en their way to work in the credit depart merit of Montgomery Ward, j V' Air Force, Navy Planes Stage Raid ' By The Associated Press SEOUL, Korea Wl Air Force and Navy fighter-bombers teamed up again Tuesday to hammer four electric plants smashed Monday In the biggest air raid of the Korean War. Nearly 200 Navy planes from big fleet carriers off Korea's East Coast Joined Air Force planes from dozens of Korean bases to hit the shattered generating sta tions for the second straight day, Navy headquarters announced. None of the planes returned to the smouldering Buiho power plants Just south of the Yalu River boundary. But the Air Force said F-84 Thunderjets "completed de struction'' of the two power sta tions near Changjin Reservoir and two on the Songchon River In Eastern Korea. F-86 Sabre Jet pilots exchanged firing passes with live MIO-15 Jets south of the Yalu Tuesday after noon, the Air Force said. PATROL - i The U. S. Eighth Army reported increasing patrol action along the 155-mile battle front Tuesday. One Allied patrol battled for almost two hours with a Red unit west of fChorwon. the scene . of bloody fighting during the past two weeks. About 20 Red troops were killed; Uie Army said. As Allied experts studied gun film to evaluate destruction done by Monday's big raid on North Korean power plants, there were strong hints thai more Red targets are marked for attack. Military officials In Washington said Monday's raid on Communist generating stations inaugurated a new "get tough" policy adopted as a result of Red stalling In the armistice negotiations. One spokesman who asked not to be Identified said "we now realize the best chance for break ing the deadlock at Panmunjom la to hit the enemy with all the fore at our command." SUCCESS A study of gun camera fUms from the 500 Air Force. Marine and carrier-based Navy planes which, took part in the Korean War's big-geat- alr attack showed Jha strike was virtually a iou per cent suc cess, the Air Force said. An official spokesman aal dlrent hits were registered on all five targets, and the world's fourth largest . hydro -electric plant at Sulho was a "pile of Junk." He described the 1.400-foot row of giant transformers and other equip ment as a shambles. The Sulho plant lies only a half mile south of Manchuria on the Yalu River. Other Plants wera smashed at the Changjin Reservoir and on the Songchon River in eastern North Korea. . NO CHALLENGE -Not one Communist Jet challeng ed the attacking Allied planes, ai- tnougn Ainea pilots saia more than 200 swept-wing MIG-15S were parked on a Manchurlan air base within sight of Suiho. The Air Force said all of Its planes returned safely. The Navy said one carrier-based plane was shot down by anti-aircraft fire and four others were hit, but no pilots were lost. No official at United Nations headquarters would say where the order to bomb the power sta tions originated. The plants have been spared since the war began two years ago and observers snld , the decision to smash them appear ed to be more political than mili tary.
