On the subject of the govern- ""'" apenaing program, Ellsworth was equally emphatic. midc are inese prosperous times people speak of?" he asked. "We are in the position of a per son who morteaees his hnn aH then lives high for a time on the money.' He quoted statistics to show that one-fourth of the nation mane a sub-standard living, and blamed defense spending for some of these ills. He asked, "If we go completely broke on spending for maximum security, what is the use?" Part of Russia's plan for world domination is to break our economy, Ellsworth claimed, and he believes we are "playing into her hands" with our current poli cies, He predicted Congress will vote to cut expenditures in the next session "and that means the gentlemen on both sides of -the aisle." On current legislation, he land ed the extension of UMT and de cried price control as "impossible in peace time." Summarizing world conditions as a whole, he stated that condi tions were worse now than before the second world war. "More people are dominated by dictator countries now than there were then,' he said. "And the world is divided into three parts: Peonies who are free, those who are not and those who are in danger of being enslaved." In conclusion, he stated that the U.S. should restore foreign faith in our government, which he claims Is sagging. He deplored the Oatis and Vogeler incidents and the inconclusive nature of the Korean war, and called for bomb ing of Chinese bases, taking our chances with Russian interven tion. "Will Ike run?' started off the question and answer period. Ellsworth said that up to three weeks ago he thought the general would, but that difficulties with his SHAPE army would prevent it now. He deplored the MacArthur ouster but said that any plan to reinstate him as commanding gen eral in Asia would be unfeasible. "The damage has been done. It would do no good to recant now," he said. Perhaps his most positive answer was given to the query: "Could Taft win In '527" "Yes," came the immediate re ply. "Any one of the four or five leading Republican candidates could win. And if they couldn't, it would mean the American peo ple have become so calloused that it, wouldn't make any difference. It would' mean that the govern ment of our people has really reached a low ebb.- Oregon Fog . tr r'-,U PJ-It can get saen year- as volunteer cl nearbv Silvrt 'Jon. nearby Silverton can SLLeca,ledto the W.

A delegation of local officials, Oldtimer Dies In Washington SPOKANE (fl- Herman F. Martin, believed to be Spokane's oldest resident, died Thursday at the age of 106. He was turned down for military service in the Civil War because of ill health. Martin still had surprising en' ergy after he passed 100 and un til two years ago used to take long walks around the neighbor hood regularly. He suffered a stroke in November. He would have been 107 next month. He was born in Decatur, 111., in 1845, and later moved to Denver where he spent 50 years in the clothing business. He had lived here with a son since 1944.

Wife Returns, Tone Grumpy HOLLYWOOD, Calif. CU.R) Actress Barbara Payton returned here from Chicago Thursday night to be met at the airport by her scowling husband, Franchot Tone. The shapely blonde actress greet ed Tone with a cheery "darling," but the polished actor responded only with a terse "hello" and whisked her away in his station wagon. Miss Payton reportedly went nightclubbing in Chicago with Ac tor Tom Neal, who hammered Tone's face to a pulp shortly be fore he married the actress in a battle over her affections. . .Tone filed suit for divorce to end the seven-week marriage af ter Miss Payton left their honey moon apartment in a state of high dudgeon last Nov. 19. Engineers Eye '52 Contracts PORTLAND U.R) Brig. Gen, O. E. Walsh, north Pacific division engineer, Friday said the Corps of Engineers would let $100,000, 000 in contracts for major civil construction work and supply items in the Northwest from De cember through June, 1952. Included in the proposed con struction and supply contracts are items ranging from $100,000 to $10,000,000 and more in the Port land, Seattle and Walla Walla districts, Gen. Walsh said. Projects costing less than $100, 000 are not included in construc tion plans. Yule Spending Shows Slump WASHINGTON (U.R) The government reported Friday that Christmas spending in department stores still is below the 1950 level. Last week's department store sales were four per cent lower than during the same week last year, the Federal Reserve Board said. The week before, sales were one per cent blow the same week in 1950. ' The board gave no cause for the slump, but merchants have noted that the bitter cold, snow and sleet have discouraged Christ mas shoppers. 4 headed by County Judge Day T, Bayly planned to attend the ses sion and discuss means of obtain ing state and federal aid for these projects: 1. Mohawk Road extension from Mill and Q streets in Springfield to the Ferry Street Bridge. t. Pleasant Hill-Jasper to Springfield state secondary highway. 3. An overhead railroad cross ing connecting Blair Blvd. and River Road. 4. A truck by-pass from 4th to 1st Aves. in Eugene, to connect the Ferry St. Bridge overpass with westbound traffic. A letter outlining needs for the these developments was for warded to the highway commis sion following a Dec. 4 meeting here in which county, Eugene and Springfield officials worked with representatives of rural districts to agree on priorities for metro politan area road developments. Eugene's City Manager Oren L. King was in the group scheduled to meet the highway commission Friday. He carried with him a let ter stating the Eugene city admin istration's endorsement of the project plans. Search Crews Find Wreckage WALLA WALLA, Wash. m The CAA in Walla Walla said Fri day morning that the wreckage of a light plane has apparently been sighted in the Blue Mountains south of Pendleton. A spokesman said the report had not been confirmed by Air Force officials conducting the search, but that ground crews were at tempting to get to the location. Richard Smith of the CAA here said he had no other details. The plane may be the one missing since Wednesday and carrying Lott, Walla Walla, and two mem bers of his family.

(Pete) Peterson est Ph. 5-2119 Vincent Price Hospitalized PORTLAND (U.R) The show went on without actor Vincent frice here Thursday night. Producers of the road show, "The Cocktail Party," disclosed that Price was in the Tacoma, Wash., general hospital with a perforated ulcer.

Skipwortk Friday gave Ralph Wayne Hill, 2, of Creswell a three year suspend ed sentence in view of his prev iously clean record and bis at torney's assurance that the young man had learned his lesson. Hill had pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny. "This is the turning point" Skipworth charged the young man. "You can take the crooked path or the straight one. I hope you have learned your lesson. I think the Christmas spirit should ' move us to some leniency. I hope you won't violate my trust in you. I don't want to see you in her again on any charge." Yule -Hater Steals Lights Apparently someone in Eu gene is bucking for the title of "meanest one at Christmastide." City police have had a series of calls in recent days, from parties indignant because lights have been stolen from the strings on their carefully deco rated outdoor Christmas trees. In most instances, the electric Yule baubles have been taken almost from underneath the noses of their prpud proprietors. That is, during early evening hours while the houses around them are astir with wakeful people. Look for Seal On Appliances Selecting electric appliances for Christmas gifts or any other time be sure they carry the under writers' Laboratories seal of safe ty. Larry Carlisle, Eugene electrical inspector, Friday reported that some appliances are being sold here this year without the "U.L" mark that shows they have been approved as safe for sale to the public. " All electrical items, from exten sion cords to kitchen mixers, carry the U.L, seal if they have been manufactured according to speci fications of the nationally recog nized testing bureau. Just Flustered OMAHA (VP) An Omaha woman called the automobile li cense bureau well in advance of issuance of 1952 plates to ask for the same number she had last year. , 'It's the only one I can remem ber," she said. 'Just what is your number. ma'am," the clerk asked. "Well, that's funny, I can't remember."
