Prehistoric Animals1 Bones
Found In Umatilla County
Studied By Oregon Scientists
By GEORGE SKORNEY
' : - Pendleton East Oresonlan Staff Writer , 1
PENDLETON, Nov. 3. UP) Thirty million years ago a large
aquatic rhinoceros, and .a deer-like animal wallowed in the lush
swamps and marshes of what is now the dry wheat land of Umatilla
county in eastern Oregon.
Two weeks ago," two University
of Oregon scientists, led by a
Pendleton barber, picked up
white fossilized bones and teeth
of these two prehistoric animals,
lying amid rocks on a bank of
McKay reservoir, ."ive miles
south of Pendleton.
After study, the scientists call
ed the find "important" and said
they would ask for research
funds.
Fossilized bone fragments of
an ancient horse and a large cat,
possibly a sabre-tooth tiger, were
found in the same area. Accord
ing to scientists Sam Sargent and
Arnold Shotwell, these animals
lived in the lee age, one to two
million years ago. Fragments of
bones of several other animajs
were also found, but they have
not yet been identified.
Barber Ray Spangle found the
two largest specimens, rear leg
bones of the aquatic rhinoceros,
last year on two different fishing
trips. Spangle has made some
thing of a hobby of geology.
The two rear leg bones were
about 18 inches long and weigh
ed over 15 pounds each in their
fossilized state. They were white
in color, looking like the rocks
in which they were found.
Spangle, with the aid of the
Pendleton East Oregonian, got
the University of Oregon geology
department to send Sargent, in
structor in paleontology, and
Shotwell, curator of the Univer
sity's museum of natural history,
to Pendleton to. look at the two
fossilized leg bones and search
the area where they were found.
The two scientists, Sp-ngle, an
East Oregonian reporter, and the
sharp eyes of Spangle's son,
Charles, found six large leg
bones (some complete), five
complete teeth of at least two
different animals, two fragmen
tal tusks, the bones of several
small animals, and a number f
fragments of various bones.
At the end of the hunt, Sar
gent and Shotwell conjectured
that some of the fossilized bones
might not be from the same water-laid
volcanic ash formation
in which they were found. They
said this was possible because
the bones were found In gravels
where they had been Jaid by ero
sion of the dam's waters rising
and falling.
After studying the fossilized
bones at the University of Ore
gon, the two scientists reported,
"as near as we can find out, the
area at McKay reservoir where
the bones were found is a new
vertebrate locality. , The geology
of It is Doorlv known which ham

FREAK GUNSHOT

Some of the pellets from Claw

earnest, then for the sake of old
sentiment let's first retire these
fine old male warriors and elect
an all-girl Senate.
But the proper thing to do is to
elect a woman president straight
away on a clear cut Issue
lady rule.
I wouldn't mind if my own wife
were the first winning candidate.
This Is not so much because I
could latch on to part of her 5100,
000 salary or that she would
have $30,000 a year in tax-free
pin money.
No, it's because of this poss-
bility: when an acquaintance
said, "Who was that lady I saw
you out with last night?'' I could
reply:
"That wasn't no lady that was
your president!"

Poor Man's Philosopher Votes For
Lady President With Good Reason
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK UP) There Is a hubbub on the horizon over
whether America should elect a lady president,
The mere suggestion of an elected female boss in the White
House has stirred a lot of anguished male yawping, but a "madam
president" is as inevitable for the United States as the return of
short skirts.
This is because power tends to
move in a single direction, un
less changed by rebellion or rev
olution. And for 100 years real
power in this country ha": moved
steadily from men to women in
every field. This trend could be
reversed only by a mass male
revolt and today there isn't
enough insurrection of this kind
left in American men to quell a
girl's basketball team irom uua
temala. ,
Todav women own most of
America, and theretore it Is high
time they took over ;he respon
sibility of running it. They have
ducked their duty long enough.
It is for that reason that this
poor man s philosopner pledges
himself to cast a ballot for the
first lady to head a national ma
jor party ticket Be she, Demo
crat or Kepuoiican, sne gets my
vote and as many more as I
can stuff in the box.
A recent Gallup poll showed
public sentiment has changed
sharply on the question. It found
48 percent of the voters were
willing to support a qualified lady
presidential candidate, whereas
in 1937 only 33 percent would
pledge themselves to such a precedent-shattering
step.
Men are fools to oppose me
Idea of a woman president. In
stead of opposing It, they should
demand It. Once and for all it
would end the feminine delusion
that the mess the world's in is
strictly man-made. Let's dwell a
while in a political stew stirred
by the dainty nana or- woman.
It'll be a change anyway. The
truth is, of course, fiat the
globe's troubles arise because
people are people, noi Decause
the. leaders wear a blouse or a
vest. But let's let the girls find
this hard fact out for themselves.
Only a false sense of pride has
caused men to take over the reins
of power and shorten their lives
with worrv. .Nature meant men
to be' gay, careless, thoughtless
children of the sun. Nature
meant women to work, plod and
worry, and gave them a greater
vitality for these tasks. Why not
insist then that they run govern
ment and industry? Let them en
joy the wrinkles and coronary
thrombosis'that go with-care and
authority.
Female Senate Too
Senator Margaret Chase Smith
of Maine has predicted the Re
publicans will win in 1952 if they
name a woman on the ticket. But
I am against any plan to begin
feminine rule by nominating a
woman for vice-president. For (f
elected, she would preside over
the U.S. Senate, and I would
spare the good, gray and bald-
heads of that august body this
ienomlnv.

Liquor Costs1
Slash Urged By
Utah s Governor
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 3.
UP) Utah Gov. J. Bracken Lee
called on the chief executives of
five other western states Tues
day to Join In an attempt to re
duce llauor costs.
The five states, like Utah, have
state-operated liquor dispensar
ies. Lee's contention is that i
quor supplies do not need sales
men In such states, since all le
gal sales are made directly to
the state. He argues tnat
the resultant savings should be
passed on to the state.
Lee s letters went to the . go
vernors of Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
The governor, satd he planned
later to write all other states
which maintain state - operated
liquor dispensaries.
In his letter, Lee said that
since he took office last January
he has "refused to permit the
liquor companies to employ lo
cal agents."
'This action," he said, "has
meant that the funds once spent
in Utah by liquor agents to pro
mote ine sale oi aicnonc never
ages no longer are necessary."
He estimated the saving to the
liquor companies at $300,000 per
year "a saving that should be
returned to the state."
"But we are not receiving any
monetary benefits from our ac

IF you want to know what's "the new
est thing" in automobile engines,
look at the Buick engine pictured here,
and you'll see the words "valve-in-head."
But it happens that this isn't new with
Buick. As a matter of fact, the valve-in-head
engine was invented back in 1902
-U. S. Patent No. 771095 -and imme
diately, Buick adopted the principle,
which became the first in a long string
of "Buick firsts." ' , .
Not everyone went for the idea then.
In spite of the fact that this engine
"breathes" more freely gets fuel in
and exhaust gases out more easily
others hung onto their pet ideas.
Then came the airplane, with its need
for maximum power from every drop
of fuel and every maker of internal
combustion airplane engines adopted
the valve-in-head principle. .
And more recently with the hope
that higher-octane fuels will become
available for motor cars a lot of auto
motive engine designers are taking a
new look at the valve-in-head idea.
But just for the record, we'd like to
point out that Buick got there first.
And ever since, Buick has gone steadily
ahead, building up a name as "valve-in-hcadquarters."
Buick engineers re
shaped pistons to put Fireball wallop
in these engines. They stepped up com
pression ratios as fast as better fuels
came along.
So perhaps you'll want to remember,
when you hear the term "valve-in-head,"
that this is the type of power
that made Buick famous.
If others want to climb on the band
wagon, we say "more power to them"
and no pun is intended.
But Buick has been doing more with
valve-in-head right from the start.
And-we might add -it stands to rea
son that" Buick is not through making
this type of engine better and better.
