Chamber Eyes
Future Basin
By WALLACE MYERS
If early enthusiasm continues
to grow and is transformed into
positive action, a Klamath Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce cam-
pamn now under way may open
a new era of growth and stability
lor the Klamath country.
The chamber is now In the op
ganlzatlonal phase of this am
bitious "Build the Basin."
It Is far more than a mere drive:
it is designed to be a long-range
activity that calls for a complete
reorganization of the chamber
structure.
Need for such a program has
been in the minds of chamber lead
ers for several years and spade-
work on tne program was actually
started several months ago.
NEW STRENGTH
The campaign is of such magni
tude and Importance that it will
require a vastly stronger chamber
than the present organisation. This
first phase of the campaign is channeled-
toward-- gaming - this new
strength UirouRh increased mem
bership and more active participa
tion on the part of old members.
This week's acUvity is concerned
with explaining Uie Dron-am's need
and broad outlines to Klamath bus
iness and professional men next
week, the actual membership drive
will be under way.
In deciding to launch the cam
paign, the chamber Board of Dir
ectors secured the services of Os
car oabbert, of a national firm of
specialists In such. work. Gabbert's
work, here ends with this week's
educational meetings.
Nine basic goals have been list
ed for the overall program. They
are: water policy. Industrial, tour
ist promotion, roads, traffic, agri
culture, aviation, recreation and
civic affairs. Rpvernl nM.iflA nrn-
jects are listed as subheads under
each of these divisions.
During this week's meetings, at
tendees are being asked to criU
cle these goals, offering sugges
tions as to importance, deletions
or additions.
CHANGE
Frank Tucker, chamber mona
ger. has been largely instrumental
in adoption of Uie program. As the
chamber now functions, a great
deal of Tucker's time is consumed
by more or less routine chamber
business. This reorganisation Dlan
Is aimed at freeing Tucker from
most of this work in order that
he may devote most of his time
to pursuing the objectives laid
down in the orogram.
(In subsequent stories, various
phases of this new chamber ac
tivity will be published, along
with day-by-day reports on the
eampaign's progress.)

For Victoryi
Bandwagon
By JACK BELL
CONVENTION HALL. CHICAGO
Oen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower's
Jubilant partisans strove Thursday
to turn smashing test-vote tri
umphs over Sen. Robert A. Taft
Into a victory bandwagon for the
grand prize of this Republican con
vention Uie presidenUal nomina
tion. They claimed It was all over but
the balloting as a result of Eisen
hower's decisive edge in the turb
ulent floor battle with Taft at
Wednesday night's session
stretching into Uie early morning
over contested delegates from
Georgia and Texas.
Taft was not conceding a thing.
He said: "I expect to be nominated
on an early ballot."
And supporters of Earl Warren
and Harold Stassen said they still
saw a chance for an Elsenhower-
Taft deadlock that could deny the
nominaUon to either of the two
front-runners.
Three uncommitted delegates

Alabama Jumped to the Eisen

DECISION
The big decision mav come
Thursday night.
Convention managers manned
out a schedule which left that pos
sibility. - 7
. . And the delegates trickling- Into'
then- big arena down by the stock
yards for their fourth day-seemed
In a mood to get on with the main
business.
In the wake of Wednesdav nio-ht's
rough and tumble, there was more
talk about Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur.
Some of the Taft supporters
were saying privately that Mac
Arthur might be a good man if It
developed that Taft could not make
the grade.
Taft's top aides were insisting.
however, that there was no reason
yet to question that Taft could
it sic it
Paul Walker, chief of delegate
relations for the Taft camp, said
It was a "coalition" that beat Taft
on the Georgia and Texas con
tests. The Warren and Stassen del
egates stood with the Eisenhower
camo on that.
McKELDIN
Gov. McKeldin of Maryland, tap
ped to put Eisenhower in nomina
tion, gave the bandwagon effort a
push with a prediction that the
general will win on the first ballot.
He declared he Is confident that
Maryland's 24 votes will be cast
unanimously for Eisenhower.
But Maryland's Sen. John Mar
shall Butler, a Taft supporter,
told reporters he feels Taft is still
in the running.
"I think be is still very much in
the fight," Butler said.
Barring last-minute changes
Senator Taft will be Uie first to
be placed in nomination for the
presidency.
General Eisenhower, who moved
out in front of Taft in the delegate

that the
Eisenhower forces had
won, but
the tension hadn't les-
sened.
And then the reading clerk
bawled: "Puerto Rico, three
votes." Thus began something
rignt out oi comic opera,
The reply came back. "Puerto
Rico casts three votes no."
The senor moved onstage and
stole the show.
He began by demanding that the
delegation all three members-
be polled Individually Just like
New York's 96 and Pennsylvania's
io naa oeen.
Big discussion on the platform.
Was Puerto Rico's delegation In
dispute? Could the challenge be
maaer At last, the answer: Yes.
Incredibly, it must have taken
five minutes to call the three
names. Because It turned up such
complications as tnis:
"Mrs, Provldencla Romas de VII
lamil," cried the reading clerk.
"What was the name, please?"
came the heavily accented voice,
as if the place were filled with
women with similar names.
"Mrs. Provldencla Romas de Vll
lamil." cried the R. C. Again.
"It's all right," came the voice
from the floor. "She's not here."
Another name was called. Again
the voice. "He Is a delegate. He Is
not here."
But the senor won his point.
When his name was called, he
voted yes. So Uiat which was three
noes and . no yeses became two
noes and one yes. The no votes
were cast by the absent delegates'
alternates. . , .
