pay for government by crony," he
stated.
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.-

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'

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

Engineers Eye
'52 Contracts
PORTLAND U.R) Brig. Gen,

engineer, Friday said the Corps
of Engineers would let $100,000,
000 in contracts for major civil

items in the Northwest from De
cember through June, 1952.
Included in the proposed con

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.

Suspension
Circuit Court O. T. 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.

Canteen Dance
Friday Night
Members of the junior high
school canteen will have a dance
Friday night at the Y-Center, the
Eugene YMCA reported this week,
but the senior high group will not
have a dance this Saturday night.
The situation will be reversed
next week, when senior high stu- j
dents will have a New Year's
Party on Saturday night at the
Y-Center. The junior high group
will have no dance that weekend.
The Y-Center will be open from
2 to 6 p.m. each day of school
vacation so that students may drop
in and make use of the facilities.
The floor of the auditorium will
be refinished during vacation, but !
the game rooms, library and other ,
