Rep. Ellsworth
Fails to Obtain
Boxcar Funds
WASHINGTON W - Rep. Ells
Worth -J R-Ore.) -failed again this
week to obtain an additional $100,
000 for the Interstate Commerce
Commission to combat the annual
boxcar shortage.
. In the House debate on the ICC
appropriation for the year begin
ning July 1 he proposed to have
earmarked $424,000 for the com
mission's car service section,
which enforces regulations on
freight car movements.
The division now has. only 30
persons to carry on its program,
Ellsworth said, and although the
ICC is getting funds, to allow an
increase to 40, such a staff still
would be too smalj to cope with
the problem,
"We all know that we had the
most disastrous car shortage in
all the history of our economy last
year," he said. "I know that there
are 85,000 fewer freight cars on
the railroads today than at this
time last' year.
"We know, therefore, that we
are going to have again a very
serious and very destructive car
shortage in America this coming
summer and fall; and it probably
will begin in the spring."
"House Appropriations Commit
tee members opposed Ellsworth's
amendment. They said the appro
priation approved by the commit
tee was $200,000 higher than for
the current year and was "every
thing they asked for,"
Actor, Wife

day after listening to actor Brod
erick Crawford and his estranged
wife haggle in court over posses-

"This dialogue sounds to me like
It might have been written by Hans

WTiter of children's folklore. It
seems kind of ridiculous but it
goes on all the time. The parties
would be better off with publicity
that would add to their stature."
The lecturer, Judge Edward R.
Brand, ruled Crawford could have
the car back from his wife. The
actor claimed he had loaned it to
her in December and needed it
now for transportation. He saidJ
under a temporary ruling in their
marital court battle he was to get
the sports car and she received
the family station wagon.
Mrs. Crawford held her huaband
bad given her the sports car with
no strings attached. She said their
two children, Kim, S, and Kelly,
4, particularly enjoyed riding in it.
To this Judge Brand replied:
"I know the children might also
enjoy going to market on a horse
or playing with a .43 caliber ma

the New Hampshire results have
unusual impact all over the coun
try. They may give a powerful
shove to one bandwagon, put the
raxes on another,
Weather Vane
More important, this election of
ten foreshadows in March what
will happen in the presidential
election in November. In the past,
New Hampshire hai been, many
times, a weather vane accurately
pointing the direction of political
winds. , i
For instance:
Four years ago, the state gave
clear evidence of the political po
tency of a then-untried general
named Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Sixteen years ago, it showed that
Americans were not to be deterred,
in choosing a president, by the
"no-third-term" tradition.
The primary this year is March
13. . . '
The GOP side is complicated by
two rival slates both "favorable"
to the President. (They both deny
this is a family fight. ) A seven-
man slate favorable- to Sen. Wil
liam Knowland, of California, also
is entered; the senator did not au
thorize them to put him' in the
contest. , ' ' , ' ' t .
However, with Eisenhower's an
nouncement of his intention to run,
a Republican contest is not, like
ly to develop.
Clearcut Battle
The Democratic battle is clear
cut and packed with drama.
Here, Sen. Estes Kefauver, of
Tennessee, is opposed by Adlai E.
Stevenson, who appears to be the
front-runner to get his party's nom
ination again.
Four years ago, Kefauver scored
a surprising victory over President
Truman. This year, New Hamp
shire looked completely safe for
him until Stevenson's admirers en
tered a slate for him. - .
They will tell you frankly that
they hope and expect to "kill off"
Kefauver's campaign in this very
first test. He has known strength
in New Hampshire, and he is cam
paigning there, whereas Stevenson
is not coming into the .state. Thus,
Stevenson's supporters believe that
if they can beat the senator, de
spite aU the factors favoring him,
the victory will have multiple im
portance. And of course they are thinking
of the psychological impact of such
a feat in the first of the nation,' i
21 priaries.
Caused by Mud
Why is New Hampshire's set so
early in the year? '
"Mud." said an old-timer "on
account of mud."
The primary is always sched
uled on the day of the "town meet
ing," and this is always set for
the second Tuesday in March.
You have to beatmthe spring
thaw," said the old-timer. "In the
old days, the roads were impass
able on account of mud when the
thaw set in. Some of 'em still are
today. ,
So town meetin , and later, the
primary, had to be held at a time
when people could come in from,
the farms to vote."
The New Hampshire primary is
40 years old.
'White' Chief

Impeachment
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A

The impeachment petition al

pro-segregation rally at the city
auditorium. The auditorium,
which seats about 5,000, was half
filled.. , ,
"We want the trouble now,"
Carter said in referring to what
he termed "the pending show
down on integrated schools.
"We want to bring it on now.
We do not intend to pass on to

AP Special Washington Service
WASHINGTON - Miss Jan
Wood, California Flying School
teacher, has turned to a flying
congressman, Rep. Peter Mack D
111) Friday for advice on her forth
coming light plane trip over
Europe, Africa and Asia, with her
dog, Cindy. .
The 34-year-old Los Angeles high
school teacher said Mack, who
flew a single engine light plane
around the world in 1952, gave her
a number of useful hints on routes
and plane facilities.
"He told me I would find the
worst flying weather in the first
part of the trip in Europe, where
I can easily wait it out if neces
sary, Miss wood said.
Miss Wood left Los Angeles last
Sunday in her Cessna 170, a single
engine, four-passenger plane, with
Cindy, a 3-year-old police dog, as
her only companion.
She stopped at Phoenix, El Paso,
Dallas, Atlanta and Norfolk on the
way here.
Miss Woods said she would fly
the plane everywhere except
across the Atlantic and Pacific.
She will board a Part American
World Airways plane for Rotter
dam, Holland, next week, while
the Cessna and the dog will be
loaded aboard a Pan American
cargo plane.
One purpose of the project, she
said, is to demonstrate that light
planes are efficient and inexpen
sive for tourist travel abroad.
Miss Wood plans to tour Europe
in short 100 and 200 mile hops un
til September, when her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jess F.-Wood, 611
Jackson St., Pasadena, Calif.,
will join her in Copenhagen. After
flying them around Europe for
about six weeks, she plans to take
off through North Africa and Tur
key in the next phase of her 'round-the-world
trip.
Rejected Suitor

To Girl's Home ,
NEW ORLEANS Un - Police
carried W'illiam Hoffer away from
the home of a girl who wouldn't
go out with him Thursday night,
just a week after he had to be
routed out of the girl's house with
tear gas.
Officers booked Hoffer for dis
turbing the peace.
The 18-year-old Biloxi, Miss.,
youth only a week ago barricaded
himself in a bathroom of the girl s
home and shot himself in the stom
ach as police fired a tear gas
bomb into the house to rout him.
Appeals from his brother and a
priest had failed.
Hoffer old authorities then he

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - An-
ders de Wahl, Sweden's greatest
tragedian for a half century, died
Friday at the age of 87.
De Wahl'i best known roles were
Hamlet; Henry IV, Peer Gynt and
Faust. For 27 years he touched off
Sweden's' - traditional' New Year's
Eve celcbrasion by broadcasting
Tennyson's Ode to the Season. It
became a tradition to await de
Wahl's rendition before starting
the toasts with "skoal."
Temple Amit$

as many snap beans, beets and
peas as they contracted last year.
The reduced supply of sweet corn
is well sold and southern freezes
have again favored a good cleanup
in beans. Earlier, the idea was
that the bean crop in the Willam
ette Valley might have to be cut
considerably. . i
Oregon potato growers will prob
ably find better mid-summer mar
kets than last year as a result of
plantings being cut back in Cali
fornia. With the new soil insecti
cides proving so' effective, the
thought is that the Willamette Val
ley may be back in potato grow
ing, too.
Onion Outlook Darker
Onions may be the one dark
blot on the vegetable picture. Ro
land Groder, marketing specialist,
said that "onions may not do so
well in the year ahead," '
Strong demand was expected this
year for farm timber' and prices
are likely to be near last fall's rec
ord high. Housing, the big user of
Douglas fir lumber, is expected to
slow down slightly this year, but a
probable step-up in heavy construe
tion should help close the gap. An
estimated 1.2 million houses will
be started this year compared to
1.4 million in 1955,
Christmas tree farming also
looks like a good bet. Stumpage
prices of good quality trees, have
been rising for several years, econ
omists said.
Cane Berries Good
Long range price prospects for
Oregon berry growers appear good
for cane berries, not so good for
strawberries. Strawberry prices
were expected to be heading for a
drop, according to the market out
look here Friday. Recent straw
berry production has been running
ahead of consumption. The price
slump may not come for another
year or two, and the winter weath
er may slow it up even more, but
marketing specialists are suggest
ing that growers keep in mind that
there might be a slump when de
ciding size of plantings this spring.
Despite freeze damage ' in the
Northwest, larger acreages in oth
er states could easily, pick up the
slack lor the law crop, u was
pointed out. California growers
were planning a 21 per cent acre
age increase. The carryover of
frozen strawberries seem likely to
increase'.

Dr. DVight , Murray, Napa,

Dice Charge
MONTE CARLO, Monaco -The
Monte Carlo Casino Friday with
drew charges against three Amer
icans who have been held since
Feb. 20 on charges of using load
ed dice at the Monte Carlo crap
tables. "
The three men had been held
ataix-en-provence pending a court
hearing to decide if they should
be extradited from France to Mon
aco. They identified themselves to
French police as Jason Lee, 58 of
(1201 Cramers Place) Los Angeles,
Calif.; Philip Aggi, 37 of (1206 Ing
raham St.) Los Angeles; and Ralph
Shaker, 40 of (441 Tolanda) West
Covina, Calif.
The Caslnd is habitually recit
cent about prosecuting for any
thing that happens at its gamb
ling tables. Withdrawal of the
complaints, however, would not
necessarily force the Monaco
courts to drop its prosecution. It
is expected the extradition hearing
will be held as scheduled and that
a final decision will be taken after
the men have been transferred to
Monaco.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (P)
Harry Truman said Friday night
he and Mrs. Truman are "in the

rope in May.
"I look .forward to making such

"We are still in the talking stage
on the whole thing."
Truman said it was probable
Stanley Woodward, former chief
of protocol for the State Depart

him on protocol. Others invited

"I will make an announcement
on my plans as soon as they are

In Washington, the Democratic

Speaker Asks
wives, farmers must recapture
an appreciation of the communi
ty as a team. We should adopt
objectives that will benefit all
people together and not pit one
special group or individual
against the other.
"A fundamental part of the
philosophy of the council on
rural health is the conviction
that people who, through their
own choosing, get together for a
cooperative effort will solve
most, if not all, of the health
problems of any community in a
manner that will satisfy the larg
est number of its citizens.
"The medical profession does
not claim a privileged position
in the rural health movement,
but is available to serve and to
aid those seeking assistance."
Teamwork Spirit '
Dr. Murray said the teamwork
spirit is "highly developed in
rural areas because it was born
of necessity. So many of the serv
ices which have always been
available in metropolitan centers
can only be obtained through co
operative enterprise in country
areas, and generally the rural
people have alwsvs been able to
prove their ability to do for
themselves."
Noting several AMA or physic
ian-backed programs which have
helped improve rural health, Dr.
Murray said the idea of sharing
in 'community activities is one he
would like to see adopted by all
physicians.

Amateur Radio
Contact With

WASHINGTON W - Rep. Nor

Such operations, he said, were
discontinued by the Army last May

between the United States and

amateur stations on an off-duty

Jail."
The officer, who wasnt the one
who admitted Baldwin, sent the
woman back with this message:
"He said, 'a lot of people would
like to get out of jail but he can't
let you out.
Baldwin smiled and tried again:
"Go tell him the probation officer
is ready to have the holdover cell
unlocked." The two prisoners in
with Baldwin snickered a bit.
The willing but confused woman
approached the deputy marshal's
desk again but forgot her "lines.
She blurted: "That man in thert
says he sure wishes you'd let him
out."
The message she then carried
to the ..Impatient Baldwin was:
''Quiet down, you ain't going no
where." Baldwin's jail companions
chuckled.
"Look," said Baldwin. "Go find
Mr. Cross (U. S. Deputy Marshal
Guy Cross) and tell him Mr. Bald
win wants out."
It was at that moment that Cross,
who had been called to another
office on an errand, showed up to
free Baldwin.
