Scathing editorial comment recently appearing Med ford Mail'TrVwim, directed at Congressman Ellsworth, stems from Editor Robert V. Ruhl's personal pique bccsnse of c.iticism of Secretary of State Dpan Achcson, Ellsworth declares. In a statement used by The O'enonian, Ellsworth says that Editor Ruhl, an admirer of the secretary cf state, misquoted statement on which recent editorial in the Medford paper were based. The Mtdford editor attacked Ellsworth on a charge that the congressman hud described the current political cam paign as hnving a'l Communists and Fellow-Travelers on one side an-i anti-Communists on the other. The editorial comment sprang from a report in the Medford barter concerning the congressman's talk at R?gue RiVcr. Editor Ruhl wrote from California, taking jof ,ne )1W-, r,gmration sections.!'" nl associates should be gov. picked up in the course of routine fighting." It's all guesswork, of course, but I rather imagine the over all genm Sffunist purpose is to go on feeding JJJST ENOUGH REINFORCE MENTS over the Yalu river to keep us fighting all winter in the icy, s,rim North Korean mountains. That would fall in with their more or less obvious design to wear us down without using any o f their leal military strength. The U. S. Public Health Service tells us today? "There's no place like home FOR ACCIDENTS." It offers these statistics: "In one year alone FOUR AND A HALF MILLION Americans were his information from the Mail-Tribune' news report of the meeting. CongrtsFman Ellsworth states that the word "Commu nist" was not used and that the news item took two isolated statement", made in response to questions, without their qualifying remarks, the reporter's words being fashioned by the Medford editor into quotations using words and meanings never expressed by the congressman. Few people who have heard Congressman Ellsworth sneak will take the Medford editorials seriously. Nearly everywhere he has appeared, he has been asked the same question, relative to communist influence in the govern ment and his replies have been identica ally a Republican but has served as a chore boy for the rair Deal on various occasions, by naming him chairman of the new Subver versive Activities Control board. That's the five-man board provided for by the McCarran-Mundt-Nuon commie control law enacted by Congress last month over the Presi dent's veto. The board will be the overall agency in charge of admin istering the new law.

The words summed up, in a way, what the writer had been trying to tell us. Remembering the gra cious hostess with her "bright red hair" and warm, friendly smile, and remembering the vividly writ ten letters which I found in my file and re-read, I thought of more words from the Book which was Hope Sully Fruett's daily compan ion: "The heart of her husband does safely trust in her." and I won dered if a husband could say any thing finer than the simple words: 'I trusted her implicitly.
