She said the Russians used the equipment to build four atomic plants, ana that "in all history no nation has ever been betrayed as was the United States." Her remarks were prepared for delivery at a luncheon meeting of the Henry George School of social sciences, an adult educa tion institution specializing in economics. She said the Roosevelt war time administration diverted American electrical supplies to the Soviet Union at the cost of American lives. She added: "Had we concentrated on fight ing the war we could have won the war at least one year sooner, and thousands of dead American boys would be alive today." Miss Kellems. who has won wide public notice for refusal to collect federal withholding taxes from her employes, said she asked for a congressional investigation of her charges as early as 1943.

"TICK" MALARKEY "Dere Mabil" McRae, special services, and her six "Down Beaters" all dolled up In their new jackets a recent gift from the American Legion auxiliary unit of Eugene, treated the pa tients, personnel, staff and guests to some music during the dinner hour Sunday, the result of many hours of practice. Now that Christmas is just around the corner the "Down Beaters" are much in demand throughout the station. The holi day spirit is beginning to grab hold out her and these six lads and their leader plan to play through the wards and corridors with the hope that their tunes will in some way lighten the day for the bedridden patients. A right-hand, slam-bang salute from the entire hospital. "Dere Mabll" and "Beaters Down" 'yer gettin' sharp, I say. This is a story about the Bob Davees out in the Fairmont dis trict where they have purchased a home. Four of them Robert and wife "Pat"; daughter Linda, 13, and son Jeff, 4. Dad Davee Is a Roseburg lad of pretty near ly 40 years ago. In those days his father was city superinten dent of schools and left the teach ing profession to become a Meth odist minister; a vocation that he followed until his death in California five years ago. The Oregon Motor club sent Bob Davee to Roseburg to act as their field man in Douglas county three months ago and the family liked it so well that they have bought the home in which they now live. This Is an apology. And it Is so late to print it as news. Anyway here goes. Between halves of the Oregon-Idaho game, hungry for a hot dog, a grinning pair of gentlemen said: "Hello Tick." There stood Avery and Sidney Lazwell, once bankers and far mers with their dad at Yoncalla; now solid citizens of Drain. Lis ten to this; Way back, one June morning, the Lazwell brothers and mvself stood in a 1913 graduation class of Columbia Prep and got oozed out of high school in one fashion or another. Used to spend week ends with their mother and dad, and them, at their Portland Heignts home, we were brod- ers' at Columbia. None of us had ever met from the day we left the little school on the bluff, now Portland uni versity, until last fall in Eugene. Might add that both "Ave" and siq"' are oraybeards: ' thev enrolled with Uncle Samuel out of Oregon State when the call for volunteers came back in '17. "Vic" Micelll of the United States National branch, Rose burg, was down around Columbia Prep. But that is another story. Two more old-time friends, of the Young's Bay Lumber co. and Lee Butler their logging en gineer and Jogging "super,' Pat Malone of Mist Logging co., Frank Halfertv. and RuDert Lee were here from Warrenton when Charlie Miller moved from Youngs Bay to Roseburg. Also Frank Slroy and Vic Kauffman in some service station here. And some others that "Tip's" hasn't located irom Clatsop county yet. ah oi em were eitner "saw mill savages" or "timber beasts." Better we organize a Clatsop society might go good with the UmDouas: both are nam es of early Indian tribes. This Is a vain about Bessie and "Her Boys." Bessie Fandlck, neaa waitress, and ner two as sistants "Pretty Patsy" Plum lee and Fav Coulter are dn the staff of the large kitchen watch ed over by Joe Johnson, ch ef of the chefs. It has to do with the lads who volunteer for "pearl diving" duty as a Dart of well. call it work therapy. "Horse Thief, "Whistles," 'Jerry" and "TiDs" have erad- uated the first three discharg ed. In the suds of their success they liked Joes kitchen so much that even on their days off they hung around. Now, completely well, they are home. The aver age tour of volunteer duty was three months. 'You know," mused smiling Thur., Dec. 15, 1949 The Bessie," I really think the rea son the boys up here get well so fast Is that, right off the bat, we try to make them feel at home. Turn 'em loose and let them figure out things for them selves. Be patient with their mis takes. Pretty soon vou notice them settle into the Harness and we know in our hearts it won't be too long before they are "staff ed" and on their way." "Amen, to Bessie," added Joe. "Practically every man In this kitchen is either a "Graybeard" or "Kid" and believe you me there Is Just more than a passing interest. They all are proud of their work, take an Interest in It That is how we try to operate." S'long kitchen crew we liked you a lot. "30" Now "Tick."

KIP) No, little children, Santa Claus will not be coming by mule train this Christ mas. But there were some who caught this rather fantastic idea Monday when the familiar Hit parade melody, "Mule Train" was heard comlne from loudsrjeakers atop the courthouse tower. It seemed some jokester who has a doubtful sense of humor slipped the "Mule Train" platter into ine i uie season s organ carol records to give a Juke-box atmos phere to Newark's community Christmas center. The mechanism which operates the day-long broadcasts of carols is situated near the private office of common pleas Judge Charles B. Holtsberry. No one could be found who knew who made the record switch or how it was done. Said the Newark Retail Mer chant's association: "Little children and grownups too, don't let yesterday's specialty throw you. Santa will come by 'Yule' train as always."
