Rescued Girl Rests
Easily In Hospital
(Continued from Page One)
combed the mountain country
northeast ot here, Ruth had been
alone and without food in the
anow and rain. But when found
yesterday she calmly identified
herself and said "Will you take
me home?"
Later she told rescuer Charles
F. Smith "I knew I'd get out. I
wasn't scared. But I hope no one
else ever gets lost."
Sheltered In Hut
Smith and his son, Phillip, had
started over a mountain to join
the main search party when they
saw the girl in a clearing. She
was returning from getting a
drink at a creek near the small
12 by 12 foot square hut where
she had curled up to sleep four
previous nights.
The sturdy physical health of
the girl kept her on her feet until
she reached a summoned ambu
lance. Smith said the girl walked
"all the way to the road several
miles except when I carried her
cross the streams."
Ruth had smiles for her res
cuers and was still without (ears
until her mother. Mrs. William
Aberle Sr., took her in her arms
at the hospital. "I'm all right,
mother. I'm all right; I'm happy
now."
The father came out of the
mountains, where he had been In
the vanguard of the search, and
joined the family reunion in the
hospital room. He later quoted
her as saying "Daddy, it was my
scout training that saved me."
Took Wrong Direction
Aberle said the girl told of
straying from her friends and
brother Sunday and then trying
to locate the brother. She said
she circled a large fallen log and
crossed a small stream. She then
became contused, returned to the
road where the search camp
was later established but turn
ed in the wrong direction.
"I realized I was lost about an
hour after I became separated
from the rest of the kids," Ruth
said. "I got on a long road and
walked lor a while, finally I
iouiid the cabin. It was fairly dry.
I found an old door that was oft
led In behind the door and didn't
get too cold."
Dr. C. 11. DuVall said last night
the girl had sullercd "extreme
fatigue and extreme nervous
ness, hut Is in surprisingly good
shape." Alter lour days without
lood, she had been unable to
swallow sandwiches offered by
Smith when he lound her, hut
later took nourishment at the hospital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1G. (P)
Another Republican counted
Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower In
the race lor the 1952 GOP presi
dential nomination today, despite
the general's denial ol interest.
Senator Cain (R-Wash)told a
reporter the way things look to
him now, it will be a three-man
field with Eisenhower, Harold E.
Stassen and Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio down the stretch.
Cain added Stassen, president of
the University ol Pennsylvania,
to what Rep. Hugh D. Scott Jr.,
former GOP national chairman,
forecast would be a two-man race
between Taft and Elsenhower.
Scott said a nine-day western
trip convinced him that "unless
some favorite son comes along at
the last minute" the Ohio senator
and the retired general ol the
armies will be the leading candidates.

"Miracle" Emphasized
"I leel very humble to be tak
ing a part In a miracle a mir
acle ol growth," stated Curnmlns,
relerring to the "amazing" 300
percent population Increase ol
the three Pacilic coast states. He
spoke ol the general-Industrialization
ol the West and the prob
lem ol meeting the mass migra
tion to this part ol America. He
discussed briefly Copco's pro
gram, which will more than dou
ble Its productive capacity by
1953, the date set for completion
of the eight hydroelectric plants,
of which Toketee is the central
unit. He spoke ol the tremendous
undertaking lor a company ol its
size.
Governor McKay congratulat
ed Copco upon completion ol the
first phase of Its expansion pro
gram. He told of the importance
ol Industrialization to permit
workers idle time for recreation
and such home projects as home
gardening, Is still possible in Ore
gon. He referred also to the im
portance of meeting the require
ments of 600,000 new customers
in Oregon.
The wealth of the state lies in
Its water resource, he declared.
The Northwest has an Inexhaust
ible supply of water, In contrast
to the exhaustible supply of re
sources from the earth such as
coal, oil and minerals, he pointed
out.
Conservation, he said, lies In
the wise use ol our resources, ot
which the principal ones are soil,
water and timber. The use to
which we put these resources will
determine the luture of the land,
he declared.
Development of mechanical
horsepower means liberalization
Irom physical slavery, said Dr.
Raver, who added that he did not
believe the Northwest would ever
see the day when It would have
too much power, except during
possible short periods. The offi
cial policy of Bonneville, he stat
ed, is to urge development ol
the areas' resources. He discus
sed the need lor expanding the
Northwst power pool, making
available the power supply to all
areas alike.

act for which he again will
ask repeal in his state of the
union message to Congress.
At the same time, he added,
Lewis Is more disposed to negoti
ate with operators than he has
been for years, and Mr. Truman
doesn't like the idea of the coal
producers using a letter to him
as a means of getting publicity
for their cause.
"You can count on it," this
highly placed aide said. 'The let
ter will be ignored."
Mr. Truman had a conference
yesterday with Democratic Na
tional Chairman Bib Boyle, who
told reporters that the American
public generally will support
President Truman solidly if he
finds It necessary to advocate in
creased taxes to ollset a prospec
tive new deficit.
He didn't pretend to know
whether Mr. Truman will ask
an increase In taxes. And Mr.
Truman in an earlier news con
ference, declined to say.
The chief executive said elim
ination of war-time excise taxes
was under consideration by treas
ury experts and staffers of the
tax-originating House Ways and
Means committee.
Those same experts, he added.
are weighing the advisability of
new laxes to replace inem ana
make possible a budget balance
lor the liscal year 1951.
He wouldn't forecast the
amount ol the new budget, esti
mator! ar nctween $41 and 845
billions, but said he had not set
a celling beyond which the gov
ernment could not go.
That, Mr. Truman declared, Is
not the way to run the govern
ment lor the benetit of the whole
people.
Whatever the President does,
he will have the lull support ol
Chairman Boyle, both as to taxes,
and the "fair deal" program.
Boyle said If Mr. Truman advo
cates taxes, the people will sup
port them. And he said the na
tional committee will ask local
organization officials to bring
pressure on congressmen to vote
with the President and the nartv
platform.

later, he switched to telegrapher
and in 1909 came to Douglas
county, serving as telegrapher and
agent at the voncalla station lor
eight years. Another eight years
as agent at the Glendale station
preceded his final move to Rose

April, 192B, as freight and pas

lor the succeeding 23 years.
Early Events Recalled
In 43 years ol railroading, "43
and a hall, to be exact," Clark
has gathered many memories
ranging Irom "Roseburg in the
days when I knew everyone in
town," to 'the Rice hill engine
blow-up which killed the engineer
and his lireman and spoiled the
I looks ol the countryside lor many
years.
Clark chuckles good-naturedly
when he hears motorists complain
ol present highway conditions.
"Sometimes we had to get ex
tra flat cars to carry automobiles
between here and Yoncalla be
cause the roads were so bad," he
said.
Clark said he had no immediate
plans for the future, but was
leaving within a few days to
spend the holidays with friends
ir California. He also p'ans to at

Bank Robber, 8 Years Old,
British Court Problem
GLASGOW, Scotland, Dec. 16.
(JP) Britain's youngest bank rob
ber beat the rap today at the
age ol eight. A puzzled judge
couldn't find any way to punish
him.
The hoy whose name was not
disclosed broke into the British
Linen bank ol Glasgow Sunday,
Dec. 4. He was caught in the
act.
The child's lawyer insisted his
clien was simply "imbued with
the spirit ol Alice in Wonder
land." He told the court:
"He wanted to know what was
on the other side ol the bank
window."
The magistrate said the lad
could be sent to a reform school,
adding: "But I don't expect they
would be pleased to see an eight-year-old."
