CO I? 0 Or CRE303 LIB3&KT EU3EKE, OHS.. 0 MM HIE 0)0 ! n ;A i f r M In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS A big wind blew through Min nesota yesterday. When it sub sided, Estes Kefauver was no longer just an annoying cocklebur in the tail of the Democratic party professionals. Between sunup and sundown on Tuesday, his status as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President changed from a m e r e possibility to a STRONG PROBA BILITY. What happened? PLENTY! As this Is written, Kefauver has 24 of Minnesota's delegates to the Democratic convention nailed down. He is leading in three of the remaining six delegate con tests He has at present 56 per cent of the total vote and Stevenson has 44 per cent. The popular vote so far is Kefauver 205,665 and Stev enson 159.378. Add what happened in Minnesota yesterday to what happened in , New Hampshire the other day and 'you have the makings of a drive for the Democratic nomination for President that can't be laughed off. Kefauver's Minnesota victory is all the more striking because Stev enson ran with the endorsement and the positive and vigorous as sistance of the state Democratic organization. He was actively sup ported by the state's Democratic Governor Orville Freeman and by Democratic Senator Hubert Hum phrey. Humphrey is not only a big duck In the Minnesota pond. He is one of the prominent leaders in the dominant wing of the Democratic party in the nation. That might be a straw in the political winds that will be worth watching. President Eisenhower is con cedediy stronger than the profes sional leadership of the Republi can party. After Minnesota and New Hampshire, it must be gen erally admitted that Kefauver is stronger among the people than the Democratic party's profession al leadership. Maybe the people are REBEL LING against professional party leadership. Stevenson supporters are con tending this morning that the up set victory for Kefauver came be cause Republicans crossed into the Democratic column TO VOTP1 FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE WHO WOULD BE THE EASIEST TO BEAT. Cross-over voting is possible in Minnesota because there is no party registration. I can't help doubting that. If you get the opportunity this spring or summer, watch Kefauver in action in a crowd. If possible, get into the line and shake hands with him. After the handshake, analyze your own reactions. I think you'll come out of the experience liking the man and thinking he has a real interest in YOU. He has the quality of per sonal charm that in these days goes very far indeed in politics. Stevenson, on the other hand, ap peals more to the intellect than to the heart. You admire and re spect him, but you don't go out and throw up your hat and yell yourself hoarse. for him. Personal ly, I think Kefauver would be a harder man for the Republicans to beat than Stevenson. I can't take much stock in the theory that his victory in Minne sota was engineered by Republi cans who came over on the Demo cratic side to vote for him as the weakest candidate. Kefauver Set For SF Visit SAN FRANCISCO (UP- Sen. Estes Kefauver (p-Tenn ) , fresh from ft primary victory in Minne sota, will arrive here tomorrow for a day of campaigning in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the afternoon, he will cam paign in San Francisco's Mission and Fillmore Districts. Tomorrow night he will appear at a bonds for Israel dinner and will then cross the bay to address a meeting at Richmond Civic Au ditorium. He leaves for Los Ange les Friday. House Okays Appropriation For Miscellaneous Projects By t'NITF.D PRESS , An extra appropriation of $795.- j 768 823 breezed through the House today without a record vote. It included $29 262.000 for work ona dozen Earth satellites and ' funas to carry other government functions through the present fis cal year to June 30. A demand for a joll call delayed f Us passage yesterday. When it va called up today the demand v not repeated and the pleasure I was passed by voice vote. The bill j t.nw goes to the Senate. Other congressional news: 1 Farm: President Eisenhower at j his news conference denounced the 1 farm bill passed by the Senate. He said it would do farmers more : harm than good. He strong lv im- j plied he will veto the bill' if it isn't changed. Acta vs. words: Senate Republi- i can Leader William F. Knowiand ; of CalMoraia chalicnsed Kremlin I leaders to nullify the late Josf 1 Stah s actions. In a Senate peech Ki,a said cnticri of Stalin - Eisenhower May Veto Farm Bill WASHINGTON ..fi President Eisenhower hinted Wednesday at a veto of farm legislation unless the Senate s bill is .sharply modified. At the same time he brushed off any suggestion that Tuesday's Minnesota primary vote reflects a revolt against his agricultural program. Eser.hower conceded at his news conference that the Min nesota returns, in which the Dem ocratic vote far outnumbered the Republican count, are something to be studied and analyzed. HIS OPINION Eut he said In his opinion farm ers generally believe his admin-1 istraiion is seexing a program ! that would give producers 100 per cent oi parity in uie market plnce. As for the Senate farm bill, plastered wah amendments whicn the administration uoes not like, Eisenhower saia it is not a good bill. He added it is not workable and would buy farmers under sur pluses they couldn't stand. The President voiced nope that a Senate-House conference com mittee, toward which the measure is headed, will write a good bill that will realiy help agriculture. The House has passed Its own version of farm legislation, center ing on price supports at 90 per cent of parity something the adminis tration likes as little as some of the features of the Senate bill. DISCUSSION The White House discussion came as tne timing of new larm legislation moved to the front as a factor in the major parlies' cam paigns for the rural vote in the November election. Thus far. the timing would ap pear to favor the Democrats. And there appear to be no signs of a speedup which, some GOP strat egists think, might help the Re publicans. Republicans are pinning their hopes for farmers' votes largely on benefits they say would accrue through a soil bank plan. This contemplates that payments up to $1,200,000,000 would be made this summer to farmers for laking un needed crop land out of produc tion and putting it to soil conser vation uses. HOPES PINNED Democrats, on the other hand, are pinning their hopes largely on farmer dissatisfaction . with price and income declines under the .Eisenhower ... administration, .and with party promises of higher price supports. The administration's soil bank plan will provide little help to farmers this year unless it can be set up "before planting time. Farm ers in the South already are plant ing their crops and seeding will get into full swing in other parts of the country next month. The Agriculture Department ha; said that if the soil bank plan i not enacted before April 15, it would be virtually impossible to set it up this year. McKay Activity Date Predicted WASHINGTON ijp Secretary of the Interior McKay may open his active campaign for Republi can nomination to the Senate at the April 13-14 meeting of the Ore gon Young Republican Federa tion. He said he will know by Monday when he will resign from the cab inet. "It might be in time for me to be able to speak at a meeting of Young Republicans in Oregon next month. I might be out by then but if I am still secretary, there will be a conflict unless I can break engagements I have. . . . If I am in a position to speak to the Young Republicans there is nothing I would like better." Supporters of McKay are ex pected to seek endorsement of his candidacy at the Eusene meeting. But backers of Philip Hitchcock, another candidate, also are ex pected to ask Young GOP en dorsement. The federation's College League last weekend announced it wrs supporting Hitchcock, a former state senator, now director of de velopment at Portland's Lewis and Clark College. by Soviet leaders is "most Interest ing." But he said "these men were partners in crime with Stalin . . . and shared in the loot." He said they could repudiate Stalin more effectively if they freed "millions" still in concentration camps and permitted free elections in Russian satellite countries. FCC: Chairman George C. Mr C'liinauahcy of the Federal Com munications Commission denied he told Rp. .lor Iv vtn D-Tnr. that big radio and TV networks have hiring and firing power over FCC employes. Evlns had said FCC officials told him the major networks can force dismissal of FCC employes who do not nerve their interest. McConnauuhey said the matter wasn't discussed at a recent meeting with Evins. Electoral: A waning made six years ago by the Mte Sen. Robert A. Taft was circulated among Republican senators today to stim ulate opposition to a pronosed con stitutional amendment to change the presidential electoral system.

The two plants will be "similar in general appearance except for architectural changes mad necessary to fit conditions in Southeast Oregon Ike Sure WASHINGTON Itfl President Eisenhower Wednesday urged the nation not to regard the school integration issue as one which could separate Americans and create a nasty mess. Eisenhower again, at a news conference, appealed for modera tion. He said the problem of de segregation is one of deep emo tion. But he said he is confident progress can be made. For the second week in a row Eisenhower spoke with feeling of controversy created by the Supreme Court's decisions strik ing down race segregation in pub lic schools. Eisenhower said It is incumbent upon the people of the south to show some progress in good race relations. That, he added, Is what the Su preme Court asked for. The court, in implementing its segregation ban. called for progress with "all deliberate speed.' Eisenhower said he should not stagnate, and declared that again he wanted to plead for understand ing between the races. He also dealt with . other matters Including: MIDDLE EAST Any outbreak New Store Name Picked "The Fashion Villa." new subur ban store which will be opened Wednesday, March 28. in the Town and Country Shopping Center on South Sixth street, was named by Louevena Newell, of 1815 Earle Street, Klamath Falls.

FARM Speaking of the election year farm bill approved by the Senate iwo days ago, Eisenhower sitd he does not think it is a good bill. He said -it is not workable and would bury the farmers under surpluses they couldn't stand. Reiterating a stand against a return to rigid farm price sup ports, Eisenhower said you can't have a sound farm program mere ly by passing a law calling for such high supports. STALIN Eisenhower . said no one can give a positive answer in trying to interpret the mean ing of reported efforts by present Kremlin leaders lo destroy the Stalin legend In Russia. A reporter asked whether Eisen hower paw any danger of U.S. allies' concluding that Russia, on the basis of the antiSialin cam paign, has adopted new policies more friendly to the West. Eisenhower replied there la no question in the minds of most of our allies that the basic Commu nist objective is unchanged. He expressed confidence America' allies will net let their guardt drop.

Stevenson had two from one congressional district in Minneap olis. That left two districts In doubt. Kefauver nosed ahead In one made up of suburban Minneapolis and five counties to Jhe north with the count nearly complete. Previously, he had trailed there. The senator was going strong, though still behind, in the eight district stretching through the Iron range and Duluth in the north east. More than a third of the P'.e cincts there were missing. That was the picture from 3.30S of 3. 868 precincts. And it showed Kefauver at that point with a statewide victory margin of 225, 40!) votes to 173.815 for Stevenson. For the Republican, In 3.306 pre cincts, it was President Elsenhow er over his "token" opponent. Son. William P. Knowiand of Cal ifornia. 187.722 to 3.324. TWICE AS MANY Minnesota, like all other states, will send twice as many dele gales to the national convention In Chicago as It has voles. The Democratic National Committee figured that one-half vote would be allotted to each delegate. In this slate, where delegates are pledged to the choice in the primary, a complicated system will allow some of them to vote in odd frac tions. But that won't alter the totals with which Kefauver and Steven son will wind up. Stevenson's backers attributed his unset In large measure to Re publicans who crossed into the Democratic race to support Ke fauver. The state has 35 votes at the Democratic National Convention. NO CAMPAIGN I Knowiand made no campaign but waa unable to get off the ballot after Eisenhower's announcement he would be a candidate again. The primary, second In Minne sota history, yielded a result as amazing as the one In 1952 when Eisenhower . got 108,000 write-In votes before he had announced bis candidacy. . Stevenson ran with the endorse ment of the Democratic-Farmer- Labor State ' Central Commutes and the active assistance of Sen. Humphrey (D-Mlnn) and Gov. Or ville L. Freeman.

Calif (UP) Governors of two potato-growing states disagreed over the desira bility of a proposed federal potato marketing agreement now befoie Congress. Gov. Robert E. Smylie of Idaho, a Republican, said growers should not rush into the agreement with out first considering what effect government controls would have on the industry. Democratic Gov. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine. Idaho's chief competitor on the nation's Russet potato market, said the proposed legislation would benefit his state. He said the agreement would re sult In better market quality. The two chief executives yester day addressed 2000 delegates at tending the final session of the 12th annual Kern County Potato Growers Association convention. Smylie said he doubted that Congress could write a law which would Impose the same controls on the potato Industry in all states without penalizing some states to the advantage of others. Muskie said the first approach to the problem is to make a po tato product more acceptable to the market. He indicated the mar keting agreement would do Just that. Muskie claimed the agreement would prohibit marketing of culls and require branding and inspec tion. late range ballistic missile, desig nated as IRBM. is under the West ern Development Division of the Air Kmre. with headquarters at Lor, Angeles.
