Party Unity Tested by Candidates Political Comments
By The Associated Press
Prc-campalgn comments by both
Ocn. Dwlght D. Elsenhower and
Oov, Adlal E. Stevenson were pro
viding a test today of the harmony
and unity within the ranks of their
two parties.
Elsenhower, the Republican pres
idential nominee, talking with OOP
leaders of seven Western states
yesterday In Kansas City, marie
two remarks which raised a ques
tion whether he might get kick
backs within his own party. They
1. Although the Korean conflict
was caused by "terrible blunders"
by the present administration, he
said, this country had no choice
but to Intervene. We might be
much worse off now If we hadn't
acted as we did, he added.
Many Republicans contend that
administration "blunders" touched
off the Invasion of South Korea,
but disagree sharply on the sound
ness of Amerlcnn Intervention.
3. An attack on Red China, El
senhower said, would mean start
ing another war far more terrible
than the one now going on.
On this point, he seemed to
take Issue with Gen. Douglas
MacArthur and many GOP mem
bers of Congress who have backed
MacArthur's proposal that the
United Nations bomb Communist
China.

waa reported In this Southern
Oreson city Friday, the first case
In Oregon aince early thla year.
This Is the flrat evidence that
the California epidemle of Bleep
ing alckneaa has moved Into
Southern Oregon. Dr. A. E. Mer
kel, Jackson County health Of
ficer, reported the victim was ex
pected lo recover.
The Klamath County Health
Office reported early this after
noon that no cases of the disease
had been reported here.
SAN FRANCISCO OB A sleep
ing sickness epidemic Is creeping
northward up California's central
aneys, ooriie on me waujs oi me
tiny female mosquito,
olreaoy Ule uicephaliUs has
claimed 30 lives and nearly 500
have been reported stricken, the
State Health Department reported.
Twelve died wiunn the last week.
Doctors are powerless to check
the disease. There is no known
vaccine for humans.
The only hope Is to kill off the
mosqultos. Hundreds of men are
spraying 276 towns In the valley
lowlanos and then laying down
quarter-mlle-wlde barriers of pois
on residue spray around them.
The female Culex Tarsslls mos
quitocommon In California car
vics the disease from oiras s,nd
fowl to horses and humans. It is
not carried from horses to humans.
A total of 499 cases have been
reported to the State Health De
partment, but onlv 316 have been
clinically diagnosed as encephali
tis. Dr. Mnlcolm Merrill, acting di
rector of the health department,
said the disease ticks qtiicaiy. 'I'nose
stricken usually recovered quickly
or die within 34 to 48 hours.
Dr. Merrill said the epidemic
may reach as far north as Shasta
County near tire Oregon border
before summer Is over. He said,
however, that It is not expected to
branch out of the Interior valleys.
Tile Democratic picture Is this:
Oov. Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential candidate, may have
Irked President Truman an im
portant wheel In party machinery
with his comments about a
"mess" In Washington and possi
bly some of his decisions on how
to conduct his campaign, t
Truman at a news conference
yesterday made It evident in sever
al ways by what he said, by
what he didn't say, and by his fa
cial expression that he doesn't
like some of the things Stevenson
has said and done.
' He gave a crisp "no comment"
in answer to an inquiry as to
whether he Is satisfied with the
way Stevenson and vice presiden
tial nominee John J. Sparkman of
Alabama have started off their
campaign.
Some said If he were satisfied,
he would be quick to say so.
Truman said he knows nothing
of any mess In Washington, and
would not comment when pressed
tor his reaction to Stevenson's news
conference remarks that resigna
tions and indictments have proved
there Is crime and corruption in
Washington.
Nor would he comment about

Growers
Hold For
Price Rise
Offers of S4 per hundred pounds
for Hannchen barley of high qual
ity were not uncommon among
buyers today and there were re
ports that a few hundred pounds
may have been sold at that price.
However, growers across the Ba
sin today were still holding onto
the title of their barley waiting for
the market to settle and establish
Itself.
The t4 price Is higher even than
the closing price on last year's
barley market here. Generally the
price appeared firm, and buyers
reported outside competition was
In this area making bid offers.
"When that happens," one said,
"the market is hot!"
There were reports of $3.80 guar
antees on the barley crop from
some sources, and other reports
Indicated offers as high as (4.10
per hundredweight have already
been made.
LOW CROP
The $4 per hundred bids are
probably being prompted by the
fact this year's national brew bar

this season, with observers com
menting on the appearance of the
fields as one of the best-looking of
recent years.
The lush sDUd vines In almost all
fields have intermeshed until it's
impossible to tell where the rows
