And what history! A few days ajro I saw an item about an Italian rail road electric locomotive that took off by itself, stranding the engineer. He grabbed a bicycle and started in pursuit. He was unable to catch the runaway train but finally col lected his wits and phoned ahead to have the power turned off. He would have had little trouble overtaking the Night crawler. It has been interesting to observe the widespread interest aroused by what The Oregonian termed a "wag gish" stunt. The American people have a great sense of humor. Our newspapers are filled daily with serious and solemn news. We have much to keep us worried. When something light and humorous comes to our attention, it attracts more of our interest than does an event such as the conference of the leaders of top world powers. The"-race was given nationwide publicity. It was miblicized bv radio and television. It is being given picture coverage by newspapers and magazine. xewsreeis win carry the excitement into the country's theaters. The publicity received by Southwestern Oregon couldn't have been purchased for millions of dollars. Editors Havt Holiday Incidentally, the event has furnished a holiday for editors around the state. Nearly all newspapers have had some sort of comment. The editor of the Register-Guard, Lugene, wasn t able to figure out why the Nightcrawler should carry 20 pas sengers northbound and only 18 southbound. He wants to know what became of the other two passengers. The answer is easy: they were too disgusted with the service to return on the train. Editor Charles A. Sprague, writing in the Oregon Statesman, Salem, suggests that if we're losing two people daily in this section of the state we'd better get rid of the Nightcrawler but fast. But another Salem editor, George Putnam, writing in the Capital Journal, takes a very dim view of the whole pro ceeding. His sense of humor must have been on vacation. He describes the race as "a rather childish exhibition of spleen and offended pride." He also comments that there are not enough horses in Southern Oregon to compete-for the whole distance from Eugene to Ashland, and that the 75 miles between Eugene and Roseburg was picked to miss "the steep mountain grades and many tunnels between Roseburg and Ashland." "... l; ' ' dmce (J3io5$ a t Teen-Agers Encounter Sports Barrier At Forks ROSEBURG Some juveniles of Roseburg had quite a stirring time last weekend lor tne worst, A group of about eleven teen agers at the Forks planned on a ouiet afternoon of water skiing. But when they arrived at the beach on the north side of the Umpqua River, they found numerous "No Trespassing" signs. The signs had n't been there in the weeks before. When a few of the teen-agers sa on the beach the land owner and some of his friends started a fight, One of the teen-age boys had his hand broken. Is this the way the people of Roseburg want to cope with tha juvenile delinquency problem? , The Forks was the last place that people could go water skiing or boating. The area above Win chester Dam has been ciosea to the public for many years. Can't something be done aoout mis am tude! William Hosford Roseburg, Ore. Many Misconceptions George certainly hasn't been attending many of South ern Oregon's rodeo's or he would change his mind about the number of horses. Furthermore, he doesn't know his Southern Oregon terrain too well, despite the fact he used to live at Jledford. The race south from Roseburg to Ashland would have given the ponies a great advantage. Furthermore, if it hadn't been for the fact that most of Southern Oregon's riding groups were booked for appear ances at the Rogue River Rodeo at Med ford Sunday, the ponies would have raced all the way from Eugene to Ash land. There is considerable misconception concerning the race. Too many people believe we want the Nightcrawler continued in service. We certainly have no desire or need for such a train Rut it would seem that a section growing as rapidly as is Southern Oregon, an area in which the Friendly Southern Fucific is reaping huge profits in freight business, is en tilled to better transportation facilities than a night train travelling at an average speed of less than 25 miles an hour. There might be some reason for discontinuance of a passenger service had the "Friendly" Southern Pacific made some sort of an effort to supply the area with modern and usable type facilities an effort to create rather than destroy passenger business and then found its operation to be excessively unprofitable. By JAMES CROSSLEY For Biosiat Nobody should breathe a word about this. It could get in the for eign press, then get picked up by the Russian newspapers and plas tered all over. Would the cause of democracy gain any glory if they knew that the latest rage in the U.S. is some thing called a goo-goo doll? The counters that sell them are as busy as those which dispense Davy .Crockett merchandise. Stores frequently sell out and the goo-goo goofs have to make sev eral trips before the supply has caught up with the demand. There's even an official song Pravda should hear about this! It title is "Close the Door; They're Coming in the Window." Presumably "they" are the little men in white coats, come with tiieir nets for a final accounting with the goo-goo doll squeezers.

It was,, a type of gum chewing done with the hands and was sup posed to be an ulcer preventative in that it relieved tensions. At least it was silent. The goo goo, popularized by Steve Allen, emits a plaintive sound which is halfway between a Pomeranian's bark and the bleat of a French taxicab. ' If it relieves any tensions at all it must be those of a mother seal 1455.

Charges WASHINGTON 1 Atty. Gen, Brownell here has filed a formal charge that the International Mine Mill and Smelter Workers union. with headquarters at Denver, Colo., is under domination of Com munists. The complaint was brought be fore the Subversive Activities Con- trol Board. It marked the first use of provisions of the 1954 Commu nist Control Act under which al leged Red-domination of unions or business organizations may be prosecuted before that board. A finding by the board upholding Brownell's complaint would de prive the union of the services of Thev concern dednctihlp incomei Me national Lanor Keianons and disqualifications which deter mine forfeiture of benefits, accord ing to George Foster, manager of the Roseburg office of the Oregon State Employment Service.

Millions of Americans, sweltering under heat waves that have gripped most of the nation, have been complaining they felt more like humid beings than people. But it s really your own fault if you let rising temperatures get you down. Why suffer from ready - made weather? Why not build your own climate? Any do - it - yourself fan should find it easy. Here are a few hints on how anyone can breeze through a heat wave: 1. Quit using the English lan guage. Learn bop talk.

The petition charged the union is and has been under the domi nation and control of members of Communist organizations." The union was expelled from the CIO in February, 1950, on grounds that its policies were consistently directed toward achieving the pur poses of the Communist Party in the united States.

It then occurred to us that may be the Russians had accepted with out reservation Ike s dramatic Ge neva proposal. But the teletype spiked that a little later witn a bulletin to the effect that the "very important news" would not con cern anything that took place at the Big Four session. When it came, this was it: "President Eisenhower has ap proved plans for launching plan ned artificial earth satellites. These satellites will be unmanned globes desicned for purely scientific pur poses. A liltle later the teletype came across with the word that the satel lites will be about the size of bas ketballs. They wiU circle the earth once every !) minutes at a speed of IS.IXX) mph. They will cany ONLY instruments for collecting tion. So - You see . It was quite a bit of news at that. One minor detail in conclusion. When the teletype first chatter ed out the story, it said the satel lites would be UNNAMED. Later, with a very red face, it blurted out a correction. The word should have been UNMANNED, it explained. Even robots make mistakes. Yellowstone Park Crash Kills Three, MAM. MOTH. Wvo.

Social Security, retirement and pensions had no. bearing on un employment. Beginning Wednes day, they will be considered as deductible from the benefit amount. He said the change can "substantially decrease the week- I ly benefit amount." ! The manager stressed, though, that the new SS ruling applies only when a person is drawing in his or her own right what is based on his or her own employ ment. It would not affect, for ex- I ample, a woman drawing on her husband's Social Security. The retirement change refers to any payment participated in or sponsored by an employer. There are several changes In the disqualifications set up, Fos ter said. A person may be disqualified from henefits for eight weeks in three ways: (1) Having been dis charged from his job for miscon duct in connection with his work: (2) for failing to apply or accept a Jon when directed to do so by the emplovment service: or (3) for voluntarily quitting his job without good cause. In case of dis charge or failure to apply, the individual forfeits benefits in the amount of from four to eight times the weekly benefit amount, Foster continued. Beginning Wednesday, for dis qualifying separations, the suspen sion of benefits will not start until the week after the filing of the I claim. Similarly, a person filing for benefits immediately or weeks ! later is always faced with suspension. Foster said a person quitting one job today and going to work to morrow for another employer sub ject to slate law can requalify. He must work for the new em ployer eight weeks and earn in excess of his weekly benefit amount each week.

U gave no figures on domestic production of uranium and concen trates, but said the output put the nation in the position of "one .of the world's leading uranium pro ducers." The statement came in AEC's semiannual report to Con gress. Much praise was given to "great ly accelerated exploration activ ity" by private industry. "The first large deposit of ore in a contact-metamorphic geologic environment," the report contin ued, "was discovered in Stevens County, Eastern Washington." The AEC listed the number of producing mines in the United States at about 850 in June com pared with about 795 a year ago. The increased production, the AEC reported, continued to exceed capacity of operating mills. How ever, it added, stockpiles of ore have been located at newly com pleted mills or at locations where new mills are under construction or are planned. To speed the ore to the mills, AEC said, 17 ore-buying stations soon will be in operation.

If the individual doesn't meet such qualifications, he is disqualified for that one week only. If he is seriously ill, the number of weeks could be longer. More new laws will go into ef fect Jan. 1, 1956. Thev include a maximum benefit increase from recent assay reports on ore from their diggings. Robert Adams Jr., one of four owners of the major claim, said t sample showed a 1.2 per cent uran ium content when tested by radio metric analysis by the .US. Bureau of Mines Laboratory at Albany. That is much higher than the mini mum for commercial development.
