Stevenson Raps
Administration in
Pacific Northwest
' By the Aaaoctated Presa
President Eisenhower’s record
on public resources—and putting
greens—has received the full ora
torical bite of Adlai Stevenson in
Stevenson’s second try for the
presidency.
The losing 1952 Democratic
presidential contender and his
1955 running mate, Sen. Estes Ke
fauver, accused the administra
tion yesterday of compiling a rec
ord on natural resources which
they said “could scarcely be
worse.”
And, Stevenson added, “I only
hope my opponent has time to
face some of the realities of our
declining influence abroad and
our lost opportunities at home—
and I don’t mean on the putting
green.”
The Democratic team invaded
the Pacific Northwest yesterday
with accusations that the admin
istration is giving precious natur
al resources to a favored few in
stead of developing them for all
of the people. This was the theme
both in Portland, Ore., and on the
county courthouse steps in Van
couver, Wash.
Today they were to swing into
the Midwest for conferences with j
farm belt leaders and a further (
general heating up on the cam-1
paign.

Vast Siberian Grain Crop Threatened
By Rain and Slowness in Harvesting
Republican Sen. Case
Hits Democratic Record;
President Back in Capital
By the Associated Press
In Detroit, Sen. Clifford Case
(R-NJ) told an “Eisenhower labor
committee” last night the Demo
cratic Party is controlled by
southern conservatives “who see
to it that words never approach
action.”
Case said Republicans have
done more for the Democrats in
3Vi years than Democrats have
done in “twice that period.”
Eisenhower returned to Wash
ington yesterday after a four-day
golfing vacation at Pebble Beach,
Calif. The presidential party
moved there after he accepted the
Republican presidential nomina

The President has not yet slipped
into the role of active campaign

7,000-mile “pre-campaign” tour
to sound out grass root sentiments
of Democrats on the local level.

FRESH TROUT aJ U.S. MERC
♦ NEW YORK, (*—Prospects of
harvesting a vast grain crop in
Soviet Siberia are threatened by
rains and inability of Soviet farm
officials to speed operations, the
New York Times said Tuesday in
a dispatch from Novosibirsk.
Welles Hangen, the Times cor
respondent, said the situation
threatens to turn into a night
mare the dream of Nikita S.
Khrushchev, Communist % Party
boss, to make Siberia into a vast
granary.
('three western reporters, in
cluding ( Stanley Johnson of the
Associated Press, have been tour
ing Siberia but have encountered
various troubles, including cen
sorship.)
Hangen said what appears to
be a record grain crop of more
than 124 million tons is standing
or lying ’on the steppes of Siberia
and Kazakhstan, on the central
black earth belt, along the Volga
and in other parts of the Soviet
Union. But Hangen added unless
grain can be put under cover
quickly it may rot or freeze in
the fields.
The correspondent pictured har
vesting and grain threshing ma
chinery standing idle at tractor
stations because of sodden gram
in the fields.
Pressure is on the peasants to
speed up their harvesting opera
tions before the advent of freez
ing weather which normally
comes early next month.
Pravda, the Communist Party
newspaper, has charged local of
ficials and collective and farm
leaders with mismanaging har
vest labor, using machinery at
one-third or one-half of its effi
ciency, and delaying construction
of storage facilities.

Fluoride Toothpastes
Haven’t Proved Effective
Against Tooth Decay
J0NEAU, Aug. 27—Tests on
flouride toothpastes conducted to
date have not proved these denti
frices effective in preventing
tooth decay, the American Dental
Assn, has announced, and the
Alaska Dental Assn, and the Alas
ka Dept, of Health concur in this
view, Dr. Charles R. Hayman,
acting commissioner of health,
said this week.

dental health of the public if the
promotion of fluoride dentifrices
should lead to the misconception
that their use is an adequate sub
stitute for the controlled fluori
dation of municipal water sup
plies,”. said the American Dental
Assn, statement.
