ducts find a sole all over the United States, is pictured
against a background of holly. One might say he is
snowed under with holly, inosmuch as he and his crew are
working late into the nights packaging this .vivid Christ
mas decoration for shipment mostly to the Midwest
and Eost. The clippings are given a hormone di0 which
keeps the leaves from tarnishing, packaged wet in foil
tissue and paper cartons, then shipped by fast freight
truck, parcel post, or express. The holly arrives ot its
destination fresh; crisp and glistening. His nursery trees
are not yet mature, yet he ships out between three and
four tons of holly per season. Most of his sales are in
bulk, but some local firms and individuals favor their
Christmas mailing lists through use of his small gift
packages. To us who. live in this more or less climatic
ally favored section of the country, holly is very familiar;
but to people in the East such holly as we find common
place is held in high esteem and that of the quality

Covered By JLaw
On Hit And Run
COQUILLE 11 Oregon has no
law which makes it a crime for a
motorist to fail to stop after hitting
a pedestrian, a deputy district at
torney has decided. A Circuit Court
Judge agrees.
The loophole in the stale law re
sulted in the dismissal here Wed
nesday of a charge against John
Richard Hunt, 23, Broadbent.
Hunt was arrested Nov. 12, three
days after Ben Leonard Rierson,
58, Remote, was found dead on
Highway 42 near MyrUe Point. He
was indicted by a grand jury and
pleaded guilty and. was sentenced
to jail.
Deputy District Attorney John
Pickett said he then found that a
similar case had been dismissed
in another Oregon Circuit Court
and upon studying the law consult
ed Judge Dal M. King. He also ad
vised Hunt's attorney, Tallant
Greenough.
Judge King allowed withdrawal
of the guilty plea,' set aside the
sentence and dismissed the charge.
Pickett said the hit-and-run law
pre-supposes a collision between
two vehicles and does not cover
pedestrians. He added that the
loophole was covered in a bill in
troduced in the last Legislature,
but it died in committee. He said
he understood it would be re-introduced
in the coming session.
Pickett said Hunt could not be

Strong 'Christian' Approach
To Problems Of Our Times
DENVER P Representatives of 147,000 American
churches headed home today after issuing an unprecedent
ed document aimed at sketching; a Christian approach to
the problems of our times.
The "Letter to the Christian People of America," adopt

nation."
It urges unflagging support of
the United Nations, patience in
solving world disputes, a halt to
character assassination, a strong

It asks the religious faithful to
seek public office, even at per
sonal sacrifice, condemns racial
discrimination and appeals for a
"pioneer spirit" in fortifying
Christianity. '
"The Christian church." the
message said, "stands today in an
alien world which is missionary in
the absolute sense."
Dr. John Mickay

Blast? By Truman
Stun Eisenhower
. By DON I...ITEHSAD '
HONOLULU ( A reliable
source today said President Tru
man's "demagoguery" statement
cut President elect Eisenhower
deeply and just about killed any
chance of friendly relations De
tween the two in the future.
This reaction was disclosed a
short time before Eisenhower was
to leave Hawaii bound' for New
York City, which he left secretly
just two weeks ago for Korea. He
is due to arrive at the Marine air
terminal at LaGuardia Field at
1 p.m., EST, tomorrow.
It was learned that Eisenhower
was shocked and puzzled by Presi
dent Truman's blast at his Korean
trip. Informants said the President-elect
felt the Truman state
ment was uncalled for, undignified
and should be ignored.
The informants said Eisenhower
wnjild continue along the course he
has set to find a solution to the
Korean conflict, including a study
of Gen. Douglaa Macarthur'a pro
posals. The once friendly relations of
Eisenhower and Truman, it was
said, had been badly strained by
accusations made during the heat
of the presidential campaign but
the new incident points to a coldly
formal relationship in the future.
"This looks like the finish of any
informal across-the-desk meetings
between the two," this source said.
"If there is another meeting it
probably will be a cold affair."
Truman told a news conference
Thursday that the Eisenhower trip
to Korea was a "piece of political
demagoguery." It is known here
that Eisenhower thinks this was
a low blow which he did not de
serve from the President.
Also, Eisenhower is represented
as thinking that the Truman state
ment was poor psychology for the
troops in Korea who had received
a lift in spirits from his visit to
combat units. '
The President elect considers
the Korean trip and the confer
ences that followed with his top
advisers a worthwhile venture
that already has paid good rlivi.

Reaction Varies
On MacArthur's
Plan For Korea
By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON ifi Sen. Watkins
(R-Utah). declaring "You can't
plan a battle in a legislature,"
lined up today with opponents of
a proposed congressional investi
gation of Gen. Douglas MacAr
thur's win-the-war views about
Korea.
"Im afraid an investigation of
that nature might involve grave
risks of some inadvertent dis
closure of matters which should
be the most closely guarded se
crets," Watkins told a reporter.
Several congressmen, however. 1
endorsed proposals of Sen. Hunt
(D-Wya.) and Rep. Wickersham
(D-Okla) for congressional ques
tioning of MacArtliur.
Watkins earlier had suggested
that President Truman explore
any MacArthur Korean peace plan
at once with President-elect Ei
senhower and MacArthur. His pro
posal drew a tart rejection Thurs
day from the President.
MacArthur in a speech Dec. 5
said: "I am confident there is a
clear and definite solution to the
Korean conflict. A present solu
tion involves basic decisions which
I recognize as improper for pub
lic discussions.
His words were viewed widely
as meaning he has such a solu
tion to offer, that it differs from
his previous proposals and that
he wanted a chance to present it
to Eisenhower or Truman,
Last Call Issued
By Travis For
Christmas Toys
Last call for toys.
That's what Ted Travis of the
Eagles toy drive issued today. He
said local Boy Scouts will make
the drive's final collection Sun
day. And all it will take to donate a
used toy or two will be a phone
call to 3-3791 between 8 a.m. and
5 p.m. .Sunday.
As soon as Ihe call is received
a Scout will be dispatched to your
home to pick up your donation.
The city has been divided into sec
tions for the final collection, and
each troop will take a specific
area, Travis said.
Scouts elsewhere in the County
are collecting toys today for the
drive.
Though the Eagles still want
most any kind of toy you may
have, Travis says they're particu
larly in need of windup and skst?
keys. They have enough wheels,
he said.
Right now 20,000 toys are wrap
ped and ready to go to children
throughout the county who other
wise might not have many toys
for Christmas.
We've got a lot of toys, bu
there are a lot of names too,"
Travis said in urging citizens to
hunt through their attics and ba so -

Scouts for toys. .

Freehill To
Head Up OPS
Move Is Also Taken
To Strengthen WSB;
Many Cases On Docket
By WARREN ROGERS JR.
WASHINGTON Iffl President
Truman was expected to prop up
his buffeted controls program to
day by naming new industry mem
bers to the Wage Stabilization
Board after picking a new price
boss.
The President appointed Joseph
H. Freehill yesterday as adminis
trator of the Office of Price Sta
bilization. Freehill, a native New
Yorker, had been acting in that
capacity since Tighe Woods re
signed Nov. 24.
Truman told liu Thursday news
conference he would end the WSB
paralysis beforo the week was out.
And Economic Stabilizer Roger L.
Putnam said a few hours later he
had sent a list of proposed appoint
ees to the White House.
The WSB has been unable to
get to its backlog of 12.000 cases
since the seven industry member
resigned a week ago. They quit
in a protest against Truman's ac
tion in overruling the board to
bring a soft coal miners wage
increase to $1.90 a day instead of
the $1.50 a day approved by the
board.
By law the three-cornered WSB
can not meet unless all segments
industry, unions, the public are
represented.
The President's attempts to
shore up the anti-inflation program
came under mounting pressure for
the scuttling of wage-price con
trols. But he showed no sign of
being moved hy the opposition of
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce,
the National Association ol Man
ufacturers or the CIO.
After hia appointment ai ' OPS
chief yesterday Freehill promptly
announced that, one-fourth of his
staff must be laid off. because of
lack of funds. '
Freehill aaid OPS will cut its
payroll from in! estimated 5,1130
employees on Jan. It to 4,125 oy
Jan. 31. Dismissal notices will go
out after Christmas, he aaid, to
400 workers in Washington and
about 1,000 in the agency's 93 field
offices.
