Reuther seems to be making an unusually determined effort to conceal his choice for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion.

The word persists, however, that Reuther is for Kennedy first and last unless something happens which could divert his influence to Adlai E. Stevenson. That "something," of course, would be a refusal of this convention to nominate Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts on an early ballot.

Reuther's influence is more valuable than his lone vote in the Michigan delegation. Reuther can and probably will control many votes at this convention. A little unselfish sentiment can sweeten the air of even a notional political convention. There will be cast when the presidential balloting begins at least one vote of pure sentiment That will be the vote of James A. Farley of New York for Kennedy.

The tune is familiar, but the words are outta wack. Originally the song was about Davy Crockett, but Walt Disney may fix the music to a new set of lyrics now that he's come up with another historical hero for his TV series. If Walt's luck holds out ole Dan Boone will follow in the same bear tracks as those pioneered on video by Crockett. Fess Parker, playing Crockett, fought his way through the TV wilderness in 1955 and became a national idol. But Disney's magic didn't hold in ensuing years.

In 1957 he starred Gerome Coiirtland in "Andy Burnett," which didn't cause any earthquakes. Doubling his chances, he launched a pair of heroic characters in 1958, "Elfcgo Baca" with Robert Loggia, and "Texas John Slaughter" starring Tom Tryon. Didn't Measure Up While both drew fine ratings, they never measured up to Davy and his coonskin cap. Elfego Baca's name just didn't have a ring to it, nor did the monicker lend itself to a catchy tune. 'Texas John will be back again this season.

Last year Leslie Nielsen starred as Gen. Francis Marion in "The Swamp Fox." But he, too, fell short of the Parker-Crockett suc cess. So it's up to Dewey Martin and Dnn'l Boone to start another national frenzy over a long dead hero. But there may be roadblocks. Dewey doesn't want a Boone boom comparable to the Crockett craze.

"If I become too closely asso ciated with the role of Boone, I'd be hindered in doing other tilings," Dewey explained. Our original schedule calls for four hour long shows.

if be useful Road sign destruction 'alarming1 Highway hooligans are costing the people of Oregon one mile of average four-lane rural freeway each year, according to W. C. Wil' liams, state highway engineer. "Vandalism of highway signs cost the state $50,000 a year for the material and labor required to replace the damaged units, Williams said. "This amount would provide the state funds necessary to match the Federal money used to build one mile of freeway." The destruction of highway signs has reached alarming proportions.

Williams pointed out. Vandalism not only costs the public in terms of money but in service as well. Without guiding travel would be confused and ineffective. "Every sign," he said, "gives vital information, and its destruction might lead to a serious or possible fatal accident." Signs are not cheap. They cost the slate of Oregon an average of $2.00 per square foot.

They hold an important place in the highway commission's over-all operations. The state has more than 100,000 signs of every size and description marking everything from curves to deer crossings. They are one of the most effective devices used by the commission it its war on traffic accidents. Also the very act of vandalism may in itself create a hazard. In many instances shots are fired at signs for target practice, without any consideration of the danger of ricocheting bullets.

Shaniko qeneral store liquidated Special to Tht Bulletin MADRAS The general store at Shaniko was liquidated Saturday, closing out the last of the old-time general stores in Central Oregon. Since 1936 Ivan Olsen, Madras postmaster, has been sole owner of the Shaniko store, but his connection with it goes back much further. He started to work there in May of 1019. Since that date un til July 2 ho either worked in the store or owned it. The store, which In the era around 1907-08 was, with its par ent store in The Dalles, the larg est distribution center in Oregon outside Portland, served a vast area which ran clear to the California line and over into Idaho, because it was a wholesale as well as a retail business.

It even sold Studchakcrs wagons and buggies, that is. The store was established In 1000, when Shaniko was founded It was started bv Edward Pease company of The Dalles. In 11)19 it became the property of the Gavin Wheeler Inc. That firm held it until March 1, 1936, when Olsen became the sole own er. In the liquidation, Hatfield's department store of Madras has ac quired the dry goods, men's wear, and shoe stocks.

But that will be all for next season. I have motion pictures to make for Disney, too." Dewey added that he will not wear a coonskin hat. "According to history books, Boone didn't wear one," he went on. "And I'm not interested in the merchandising of products in connection with the series. Everybody in TV is out for the almighty buck, and that's what's destroying the movie and TV industry." Because most of Boone's life in the wilderness took place before the Revolutionary War, teleview ers will be seeing new costumes, sets and other trappings of the era a welcome relief from the usual horse opera paraphernalia.

More Than Heroics "We aren't restricting ourselves to Boone's heroics in the wilderness," iMartln continued. "He was quite a family man. When not out exploring, ho was home leaching his three children and ironing out his problems with his wife. "Some viewers might be disappointed because we dispel some of the misconceptions surrounding Boone's life but I do kill a bear. And we inject some humor in the man, too.

"One time the settlers heard a weird noise outside the stockade and thought the Indians were on the warpath. The next morning they discovered it was Boone singing. "I have just as bad a voice as Boone did. "In a way, he had a tragic life. Two of his sons were killed by Indians, and he died in poverty at the age of 86.

But the Indians loved him and made him the son of a chief." Martin is well suited for his new role. He is part Cherokee Indian himself. "Unfortunately," Dewey concluded, "my Indian branch of the family didn't own any oil lands." "noise Is already a problem" and the Freeway nvght result in "adverse condemnations" in some apartments.
