Boy Onct Burned At Stake Now Iron Lung Patient
PORTLAND 'T) Jerry Meyer,
10, burned at the stake in a loo
realistic game five years ago, is
back in the hospital again.
This time he is in an iron lung.
After his stake-burning he was
in Doernbecher and the Shriners'
hospitals for two years. He was
7 y e a r c old when he got out,
well covered with grafted skin
and leery of playmates who carry
matches.
That caused him trouble this
summer while visiting in Topeka,
Kas., with relatives of his mother,
Mrs. Frances Meyer. The grafted
akin doesn't allow him to per
spire as he should and Mid-West
heat bothered him.
So his mother decided some six
weeks ato to cut the visit short and
bring him and his brothers
Larry, 14, and Jay, , back to
Portland. Fear of polio in Topeka
helped speed the return, she said
But back in Portland, l.srry
waa stricken and then Jerry too
came down with the disease they
had left Kansas to escape.
How long Jerry will be in the
iron lung Isn't certain, but he is
Improving. Larry already is on his
feet.
The Multnomah County chapter
of the National Foundation 1 o r
Infantile paralysis reported the
boys would get whatever treatment
they need when they leave the
hospital. Larry seems to have
minor paralysis. The degree of
Jerry's can't be determined yet.
Liltle Jay, at home with his
mother, still is untouched.

Thirty Persons Have Served
I n Truman's Cabinet, Record
In U.S. Political History
By MAX HALL
WASHINGTON I API Harry Truman has had more cab-
inet members than any other President.
During his five end e helf years in the White House, 30
different persons have served in his cabinet et one time or
another. U. S. Grant had 24, Franklin D. Roosevelt 24, Theodore
Roosevelt 23, and John Tyler 20.
Those figures may be misleading i
iinlpxi vou realize that President
Truman, Theodore Roosevelt, and
Tyler each inherited one wnoie can
ine! of someone else's ch.sing.
To illustrate: whei Mr. Truman
took office after FDR's death, he
found a 10-member cabinet already
there, and he has brought in only
20 new men since lhat time. And
FDR of course served longer 'nan
i m mhr ni-fNirlenl. so nis normal
turnover would be nigner.
Actually Truman has maae ;
appointments. He named George
C. Marshall twice as secrelary
of State in 1947 and as secretary
of Defense last month. And he
named James Forrestal as secre-
i.ry ... n...cm. ,'";
iling him as secretary of the Navy
Mr. Truman has removed some
cabinet members who weren't in
harmony wilh him. He has shifted
a couple to other jobs. Some have
resigned because of ill health or
other personal reasons. One died in
office.
Washington Started It
The cabinet is an interesting in
stitution in American history.
It (rew up by custom, rather
than by law. The constitution says
nothing abntrt a cabinet, George
Washington started it in 1788 when
he began calling in department
heads as his advisers. The word
"cabinet" began to be applied to
these meetings in about 1793. As a
group the cabinet is only advisory.
But the members, as department
heads, must be confirmed by the
Senate.
The Senate has rarely rejected
a nomination. One such case was
in 192S when the Senate twice re
jected President Coolidge's nomin
ation of Charles B. Warren as at
torney general because of his pre
vious relalions with the sugar trust.
Last year Congress raised cab
inet salaries from $15,000 to S22,500
a year.
Scot Sarved L.ngesr
The cabinet member who served
longer than anyone else in Amer
ican history was James Wilson who
was born in Scotland. He was sec
retary of Agriculture for 16 years,
from 1R97 to 1913. under Presi
dents McKinley, Theodore Roose
velt and Taft.
Harold L. Irkes had the second
longest cabinet career, serving as
secretary of the Interior tor nearly
13 years He was brought inlo the
job bv Franklin D. Roosevelt on
March 4. is.", ano was wnrrm
out
by President Truman on Feb.
15. 194.
No. 3 was Albert Gallatin, secre
tary of the Ireasury for 12 years
and 8 monlhs under Presidents
Jefferson and Madison.
No. 4 was Frances Perkins, sec
retary of the treasury for 12 years
months under Franklin D. Roose
velt and .Mr. Truman.
Cordell Hull and Henry Morgen
thau Jr.. in modern times, and
William Wirt, more than a cen
tury ago, served more than 11
years.
Nina Ret T. Prasidtncy
But Henry L. Stimson had the
greatest range ef experience as a
cabinet member. He spread his
11 years of service over a 34-year
period, being secretary of w a r
under Taft, secretary of State un-

Newcomb was recently appointed
in charge of Oregon's fisheries re

eration of the wildlife
research
.division, under the leadership

of
! Arthur Einarsen. The wildlife re
search has exist .-d for about 15
years. Einarsen is the project
leader to coordinate the activities
of five cooperating agencies, said
Newcomb.
Newcomb, who will have his
headquarters at Corvallis, expects
to work on specific fish projects
geared to help the tame commis
sion get the most for its money.
He said he will probably use grad
uate studerts of the college for
much of the work.
Oregon seems to be doing as
good a job as any stale in its
fisheries program, said Newcomb,
who armed he was plenty glad to
get back to this state.
He and his wife visited with
their families in Boston, Mass.
Newcomb said this was his first
visit at his home since he came
west in 1938.
He visited fishery administration
offices in Maine, New Hampshire,
Michigan, Minnesota and Colorado
on their return trip. They took
the Oregon Trail route west from
Lincoln, Nebr.

Communist Five-Year Rule ,
Leaves Koreans In Tatters,
Hungry, Scourged By Disease
ly HAL IOYLI
NORTH KOREA (API The South Korean soldier now in
the lend of his Red military enemy finds North Koreans e people
in shreds end tetters after five years of Com
munist rule.
He (lie finds the North Koreen civilians
don't act like people who ere losing wer.
He welks under several hurriedly raised vic
tory. arches of logs end pine boards spanning
the roed. '
He comes to e small village. The Red North
Koreens had used it es a checkpoint to seerch
vehicles coming from the south. But the crude
leg roed berriers now are lifted end point sky
ward. The road north is cleer.
A group of villagers, happy that I '
the war ia sweeping beyond them,
stand by the roadside. They cheer
and wave South Korean flags as
the army stragglers go by. But
when the crowded trucks rumble
through they raise both hands time
after time and shout "Manzai!
Manzai!" It is the Korean equi
valent of the Japanese "Banzai"
victory cry.
If the stragglers were tsnks they
would get even louder "manzais"
than the trucks do. For in the
Orient power is admired even
more than in the western world.
But on this day no tanks are going
up this road.
Disease Mark Children
The ROK soldier sees that after
five years of Communist rule, that
boasted it would help .the worker,
these villagers are even more
ragged than the peasants cf South
Korea. There are more children
with open sores on their heads.
There are more with di.- ased eyes.
And there are few young farmers
in the holiday crowd. They are in
the fields harvesting each small
patch of rice as it matures, for
there is hunger here.
A young girl runs out and sticks
a cluster of white and purple wild
flowers in the soldier's helmet.
She hands him some brown chest
nuts and a ripe persimmon, golden
as the Indian summer sun and
not much smaller than a tennis
ball.
He grins at her in wondering
surprise. Then he shuffles on,
drenching his dry mouth with the
duId of the oersimmon.
The sun is almost down as he
scuffles into Yangyang, the first
large enemy town captured by the
Roks. The townspeople are weary of
cheering and have given away all
their flowers. The edge of elation
has been dulled and they do not
fear any great harm from this
army from the south. They are
now selling their persimmons and
pears and chestnuts to the troops.
The soldier looks at. the trenches
dug in the streets by the retreat
ing Reds for a last-ditch stand they
never made. He looks at roof tops
covered with shrubbery to hide
enemy command posts from allied
airmen.
Ric. Ration Paramount
Two ROK medics walk by carry
ing a badly woundrd man on a
'House Warming'
Given At Glide
Mrs. Grace Bevins- and Mr.
and Mrs. J. M. Bevins and family,
whose home west of Glide burned
recently, were given a surprise
"houstwarming" party in their
small new home just completed
last week.
"Everyone has been so lovely to
us since our home burned," said
Mrs. Bevins.
She stated that she and her son
and family lost everything they
possessed when the house burned,
but friends and neighbors have
done everything possible to a i d
them.
They have just completed t h e
new house, and got into it the
first day or the recent rain.
Friends, neighbors and even
some people they didn't know
about 75 in ail called at their
home last week for the house
warming party. They brought nu
merous gifts, and refreshments for
the crowd.

pretty R o k nurses stand by
one of their own trucks retaken
from the North Koreans. Another
ROK girl in uniform nearby I s
wearing an American ,45-caliber
pistol.
But the dust-covered Korean
doughboy has no eyes for pretty
girls. He joins a line waiting to
receive the evening rice ration end
he waits in stolid silence.
A rifle slips from the hands of
a ROK private in a crowded truck.
It falls beneath the wheels and the,
barrel is badly ben., before the
truck can stop a ROK officer leapa
out of the truck and the private
does too.
Carelessness Punished
The officer reaches the rifle first
and picks it up. He unleashes a
wild torrent of abuse and then
turns the rifle around and smashes
the butt into the private's left
shoulder. He does this five times
and puts all his power into every
blow.
The private is knocked back each
time but neither flinches nor shows
pain. Nor do the faces of the men
in the truck or in the chow line
show either anger or surprise. This
is an Oriental army. They know
a man who carelessly ruins a wea
pon is lucky to escape a rifle
butt blow on his skull. Weapons
are precious life is not.
The truck moves on. The dough
boy finally gets his rice ball
wrapped in seaweed. He wolfs it
down hungrily.
He has seen no fighting but he
has walked all day and he is lonely.
But he still hasn't caught up with
his own outfit. He sees two other
sleeping ROK infantrymen huddled
together for warmth on the porch
of a hut.
He sags to a sitting position on
the porch. He slowly begins to lift
his leaden feet. And before his bent
little body has, straightened out he
is fast asleep.
Tomorrow at dawn he will he

road that leads to stone after dusty
stone, to beyond the vanished fron
tier of the 38th parallel to the
Manchurian border. Only when his
army is halted at that border will
all Korea be united and he will
be free to rest.
