Court Declines
Ruling on Rails
WASHINGTON, -Oct. 20 - VF) -The
supreme court declined to
day to interfere with the long
contetd reorganization of the
Rock Island Railway.
it likewise refused to touch a-l
request that an "anti-nudism
ordinance la Loa Angeles be ruled
an unconstitutional violation of
persona) rights.
In its railway case action, the
court apparently cut a pattern for
several similar cases in which dis
appointed creditors contend that
wartime prosperity of the lines
require better treatment for the
creditors.
Today's decision was a mere re
fusal to hear an appeal from a
circuit cfxjrt ruling In favor of the
Rock Itland plan. It came on a
7-2 vote with Justices Frankfurter
and Jackson contending that the
court should find out how the ICC
now views the Rock Island situa
tion before disposing of the case.

A Thermostat
On Each One!
BY RENNIE TAYLOR
Associated Preas Selene Reporter
YOSEMITE, Calif., Oct. 20.-vP)
-The human body contains a re
markable thermostat which casu
ally utilizes the big toe for an in
dicator. Dr. L. H. Newburgh, pro
fessor of clinical investigation at
the University of Michigan Medi
cal school, reported today.
When the air temperature drops
to a certain point this thermostat
begins to shut off the bodily heat
going to the arms and legs.
This explains why a person's
toes and fingers often are the first
to feel the cold. It also follows the
logic of the householder who starts
closing bedroom doors when the
furnace lags.
The thermostat does this In or
der to conserve the heat necessary
to maintain the interior of the body
at constant 98.6 degrees, which
is essential to the smooth function
ing of the vital organs.
Doctors who understand this In
teresting heat control system can
detect hyperthyroidism or other
evidence of abnormal metabolic
activity simply by noting tempera
ture changes in the big toe. Dr.
Newburgh said in a paper deliv
ered at the annual seminar of den
tal medicine. -
Tribal Lands
Hearing Opens
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 20HV
A US. court of claims commis
sioner sitting here to determine
how much the federal government
owes four Oregon coast tribe for
land acquired in 185S, heard today
an appraiser's total of about $63,
000,000. O. E. Fuller, of Laramie, Wyo.,
said the total represented $10,
045,611 for the surface valuation
of the land, at the time of the
treaty, plus accumulated interest
The U.S. senate failed,- by some
mishap, to ratify the treaty by
which the tribes relinquished 2,
770,000 acres and moved to a
small reservation near Siletx, Ore.
Indian agents ec'umated there are
perhaps 3,000 descendants who
will share the payment
The VS. supreme court has al
ready confirmed the Indian claims
demanding payment for the land
now occupied by the port city of
Coos Bay and a score of Oregon
coast resort towns. Title to the
property is not an issue.

Strike Stops
B. C. Transport
VANCOUVER, B. C. Oct 20 -(CP)
- Luxury travel came to
thousands of Vancouver, Victoria
and New Westminster workers to
day as 2,800 street car and bus
drivers went on strike, demanding
higher wages and shorter work
ing hours.
The rumble of street cars was
stilled, but the streets were jam
med with thousands of cars, oper
ating on a pool basis. Many work
ers rode to their Jobs in the
boss car, while others had taxis
call to their doors.
The union membership voted 10
days ago to walk out in support
of their demands for a 20 cents
an hour wage boost plus a 40-hour
week. The British Columbia Elec
tric railway had offered seven
cents an hour, and then a 10 cent
increase with gradual reduction of
working hours to 40. The offers
were rejected.

Two Deserters
Held Here on
Forgery Counts
Jeffrey D. Grant and Loren
Custer, confessed army deserters
from Fort Ord, Calif., were arrest
ed in Dallas Monday on a Marion
county circuit court warrant
charging them with cashing about
$300 of worthless checks in Salem
during September and October.
Salem police identified as a
partner of the two 19-year-old
privates, Delbert (Bud) Downing,
also 19, of 1963 N. 4th st., who was
already under arrest in Marion
county jail, charged on a circuit
warrant of cashing another $125
of fictitious checks during the
same period. Downing was arrest
ed by city police Saturday imme
diately after being released from
the city jail, where he was held
for illegal possession of liquor. All
three youths are being held in the
county jail in lieu of $1,000 bail
each.
Grant and Custer, city police
said, admitted cashing the bad
checks when questioned by Salem
detectives in Dallas on Saturday,
but refused to disclose the name
of a third party involved in the
forgeries. Returning to Salem the
detectives arrested Downing when
they discovered his name on one
of th checks and identified his
of the checks and identified his
police records, as the same as his
endorsement on the worthless
check.
Grant and Custer, who said
they deserted from the army on
September 3, were held for ques
tioning by Dallas police in con
nection with several fictitious
checks they passed in Indepen
dence, city police said. They were
turned over to Salem police Mon
day when they made good the
checks passed in Independence,
detectives said.
Meanwhile city police said that
Leonard and Neda Chastain, held
in the county jail in lieu of $1,000
bail each on charges of cashing
$225 in worthless checks in Salem,
admitted Monday they passed an
other $100 of checks during the
same period. The Cha tains were
arrested by city police on October
18 on a district court warrant
charging them with the forgeries.
They later waived preliminary
examination and were bound over
to the grand jury.
