Oregon's Unemployed Increase During November SALEM W) The number of Jobless persons In Oregon mount ed to 55,300 In November, or 53 per cent greater than a year ago. The Unemployment Compensa tion commission also estimated that eight per cent of the state's workers are without Jobs.

Salpm has 5,000 persons with out jobs, an Increase of 1,250 during last month. Eugene's to tal went to 4,650, a gain of 600 during the month.

By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (JP) What is the matter with girls? Why Is It that when girl babies are born, tne average congratu iator congratulates as if he real' ly didn't mean it? And why Is it that the proud father sometimes acts as II he were emDarrasseu about it all? .

Mar garet Chase bmitn IK-Mel senator. And at least one other woman, Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas (D-Caiif.), wants to be a senator too. Mrs. Smith has said she thinks It would be nice lor the Republi cans to run a woman for vice president. She was too shy to mention names, but I don't think she meant Mrs. Alben W. Bark ley. Women fill all sorts of lesser spots. They are truckers, glass blowers, cops, printers, mail car riers, tanners, stoamfitters, em balmers and Western Union (you'll excuse the expression) boys. Look where we'd be if there were no women. Without the little dears, we would have no Mother's Day. no beauty pageants at Atlantic city, no grass skirts, no bobby sox, no mothers-in-law. True, the picture has another side, a brighter side. If there were no women. Al Jolson couldn't sing, "Mam my!", advertising men would have to think of some way to peddle their beer and cigarettes besides running pictures of cu ties, and calendar makers would have to give up on that Indian lady In I he canoe. Still, the women are definitely with us, and I, for one, am glad. Yet. When Margery Ann checked in 12 years ago, I was conscious of some condescending remarks. Especially from those who had spawned boys. When Evelvn arrived nine years ago, so did the jibes. When Judith appeaieu four years ago, the jibes turned to boots. And then, over the weekend, the doctor broke the news this way: "Well, it's another girl." (Short pause). "Heh, heh!" Let him laugh. Susan was wel come. We haven't had much of a chance to get to know her, but she looks as if she'U be won derful girl. Of families and Single Persons' hi the United States, during 1948 30 $5ooo rT,v"rj yHurrn Gen. Eisenhower Hits Government 'Control' Action HOUSTON. Tex. W Finding a dividing line between govern ment control and citizen respon sibility is America's biggest prob lem, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower warned here. a The Columbia University pres ident told a crowd of 15,000 that Americans need to take stock be cause "I think each of us would admit he is worried." Americans are wondering "where we are going," he told the annual meeting of the Hous ton Chamber of Commerce. He quoted from Abraham Lin coln's Gettysburg address "gov ernment oi tne people, by the people and for the people." "Lincoln left out one preposi tion," he said. "He did not say Mo.' Lincoln saw no reason for our government to do things 'to' us like some bureaucrats now find so intriguing." His remark drew applause. Eisenhower made one indirect reference to the 1952 presidential election. He said one might be consid ered self-seeking should he dis cuss problems involving Ameri ca's future. "I have found It is no use to say 'No'," he said, "but I still have the right of an ordinary American to say what I think Speeder Placed On Probation As Wedding Present LOS ANGELES (P) Traffic Judge Roger A. Pfaff indicated about subjects I thoroughly be lieve are concerning all." He offered a three-point formu la for a strong, productive society individual freedom, national cooperation and general educa tion. Eisenhower implied that many of the government's existing trends, "often with the highest motives," are leading to regi mentation. -He mentioned the ECA, the Atlantic pact, arming of Europe. "Always, for me," he said, "these things leave a sense of be wilderment. I want to know more." Of armed forces unification problems he said "the accept ance of the unification doctrine increases in proportion to the dis tance away from Washington." he was going to sentence a speed er to 90 days. But when he learned the offender was to be married, he performed the rites forthwith. Motorcyclist Blair M. Bern baum, 19, appeared before the judge on the speeding charge recently. It was his 14th citation. "You should ask a psychiatrist what's wrong with you," said Judge Pfaff. Bernbaum pieaaea mar ne soon was to be married, pointed hie flanoAo flporrria Mnv .Tnnp. of Burbank, in the courtroom and produced a marriage license. "Marriage," said Judge Pfaff, "is as good, if not better, than an., neiwhiDtrlct AVD mlnflt lotl."

Where does your family fit in the above pattern? About one-third of America's families and single individuals had money incomes of less than $2000 during 1948. according to a recent report of a sub committee of the Joint Committee on the Economic Report. Chart reflects the report's data, which will be basis of hearings in Wash ington Dec. 12 to 16 on the problem of low-income families. The report cautions that low cash income does not necessarily indicate poverty, especially in the case of favm families which provide for many of their needs at home. On the other hand, city families witsi higher cash income may have trouble meeting basic needs; 16 i White, Aqua, Red, Blue, Pink Narrow and Medium Widths ANYPLACE IN THE U.
