Health Policies
Given by Leed's
The employees of the Leed's
Shoe store were informed today
that in line with their company's
policy of caring for the welfare
of its employees, a new health in
surance' policy will be inaugurated.
This new health insurance plan
pays for the medical, surgical
and hospital costs for all the em
ployees and their dependents.
Special maternity benefits are
also included. In addition, each
individual employee of the
Leed's Shoe store organization
would receive weekly salary
payments while ill, and a life in
surance policy at very low cost
Fear of being unable to pro
vide for doctor bills for himself
and his family need no longer
be the worry of a Leed s em
ployee," said Andrew Novak
manager of the store.
He also said that employees
could look forward to as much
as $300 in payment for surgical
fees, and that the company's
health plan would provide up
to $9 a day for hospitalization for
a period of 70 days, depending
on the employee's earnings.
Other features of this new
Leed's Shoe store plan are week
ly sick benefits amounting to
70 per cent of the employees'
earnings. Also included is a life
insurance policy ranging from
$1,000 to $7,500, depending up
on the individual's income.
This revised and enlarged
health and medical insurance
program is in ' addition to the
Leed's organization's pension
plan, which was set up in 1944
and paid for entirely by the com
pany. After five years the fund
now totals over $860,000.

Children's Allergies Traced
To Mother's in Claim
Beverly Hills, Calif. U.R Mothers who resent being burdened
with children may be responsible for their offspring developing
asthma, hay fever and eczema, in the opinion of two Beverly
Hills allergy specialists.
In a check of 90 allergic chil
dren, Dr. Hyman Miller and
Dorothy W. Baruch found tha.t
89 of them had mothers who had
displayed maternal rejection to
ward their children.
In a control group of 63 moth
ers of non-allergic children, only
25 ever had felt antagonistic, the
doctors' studies revealed.
The two specialists reached
the conclusion "that when a
child with any tendency toward
allergic symptoms feels rejected
by his mother, he is apt to be
come ill."
In some cases, the first attack
of asthma occurred when the
child was sent to school or after
a spanking. Several experienc
ed attacks soon after the birth
of a sister or brother.
"For some reason," the doc
tors agreed, "some children
seem less able than normal chil
dren to explain the frustration,
resentment and anger which the
fear of being abandoned arouses.
"They hold their feelings in
and this sets up a chain of con
flicts within that brings out
symptoms of asthma or skin
trouble.
One allergic child told the doc
tors, "when mamma says she's
going away for a vacation, I get
darn mad. I feel like smashing
light bulbs. But I can't, I just
get sick. Then mamma can't
leave me."

Squid is Finding Favor
On Some Dinner Tables
Monterey, Calif. (U.R) To most people it's just a wiggly horror,
but the long-armed squid is landing on more and more domestic
dining room tables. 3
The jet-propelled relative to
the lowly clam long has been
caught commercially here for
use as bait and for sale as food
to foreign and local markets.
Recently, though, dealers report
nation - wide sales have in
creased. One possible reason for the in
creased use is the cheapness,
about 15 cents a pound.
Most of the squid caught here
are small, but once in a while
fishermen find a giant in their
nets. One squid measures more
than 11 feet from tip of tentacle
to tip of tentacle.
The squid, frequently confus
ed with the octopus, has a nar
row body, eight arms and two
long tentacles. The two ten
tacles, equipped with suction
discs to lock them together and
studded with swiveled hooks,
are used to seize passing fish for
food.
The arms take the food from
the tentacles, draw it up under
the body and there the squid
tears the food apart with its
parrot-like beak.
It propels itself by drawing
water in through openings back
of its head, then expelling the
water through a small tube. The
tube may be pointed in dif
ferent directions, controlling the
direction of travel.
For eating, the squid may be
prepared in a variety of ways.

Back at Desk County Clerk
Harlan Judd was back at his
desk Monday after two weeks
vacation spent at Fort Worden,
Wash., where as major in an en
gineering boat and short regi
ment, reserve, of the 2nd bri
gade he engaged In amphibious
warfare and other duties.
Justice Frankfurter delivered
the 6-3 decision. Chief Justice
Vinson and Justices Reed and
Burton dissented.
Watts was accused of killing
the woman in an attempted rape.
Attorneys for Watts appealed
on the ground that the indict
ment against him was returned
by a grand jury from which
Negroes had been excluded. They
also contended that asserted con
fessions were obtained from
Watts by state police through
use of force and intimidation.
Other Court Actions
In other actions today the
court:
Held 6-3 that federal agents
may stop and search an automo
bile driven into a dry stale by
a man they know to be a boot
legger. The case involved an
Oklahoman who was arrested on
a trip from Joplin, Mo., into dry
Oklahoma. Officers found 12
cases of whiskey in the car,
which they stopped because it
appeared to be weighted down.
They lacked a warrant, but the
tribunal ruled this was not neces
sary in view of the man's back
ground. A dissenting opinion ex
presed fear that "unfit and ruth
less" officers may take advantage
of the ruling to push searches
and seizures.
Upheld 7-0 a securities com
mission finding that preferred
stockholders should receive more
than $100 a share in the liquida
tion of Engineers Public Service
company, a New York holding
company. The opinion overturn
ed a District court ruling that
$100 a share was fair payment.
More than 390,000 shares of
Engineers preferred is involved,
with redemption prices ranging
from $105 to $110 a share. SEC
said $23,200,000 in payments to
stockholders in five similar cases
hinged on the outcome of today's
decision.
Split 5-4 in setting aside in two
different murder cases the death
penalties given a 26-year-old
Philadelphia Negro ad a 25-year-
old South Carolina Negro. In
each case the court majority rul
ed that the defendants were held
in jail too long after the slayings
without being allowed to plead
to the charges.
The court then look a brief
recess. It planned to resume
handing down decisions in
effort to wind up the current
term today. The tribunal will re
convene October 3.
There was no immediate con
gressional comment on the Chris
toffel case.
After a brief recess the court
returned to wind up its activity
for the summer. In other final
actions it:
Agreed to keep on ice the
contempt of congress appeal of
bail-jumping Gerhart Eislcr. The
tribunal split 5-3, with Justice
Burton taking no part, in agree
ing to defer a decision in the
case. Eisler fled behind the iron
curtain while the court was con
sidering his appeal.
Decided against considering
Eisler'i conviction on passport
fraud charges the case that
the western governors would
offer would be acceptable.
Credits Langlie and Dewey
McKay accorded Gov. Langlie
of Washington and Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York much of
the credit for the adoption of
an anti-CVA resolution by the
governor's conference in Color
ado Springs, which McKay at
tended prior to flying to Washington.
"Gov. Langlie was a member
of the resolutions committee and
drafted the resolution while Gov.
Dewey lent his aid because the
administration would like to de
velop the St. Lawrence water
way according to its own ideas."
McKay said that all of the
western governors, including
Gov. Warren of California work
ed in behalf of the passage of the
resolution, which was adopted
without a dissenting vote.

ton made the run from Canemah
to Salem in six hours and 42
minutes.
During the past 70 years Sa
lem was the home port of a num
ber of smaller river steamers. A.
Prescott built the Luckiamute
Chief here in 1878, followed by
the Nellie in 1879. During the
1890s the Bertha, Isabel and Val
ley Queen were launched. Last
steamboat built here was the
diminutive India, a propellor
craft built by Adrian Kemp in
1910. She was usdd in towing
logs and ignominously ended her
days in 1918 as wreckage on
Grand Island.
Made Run to Eugene
Now Captain Raabe recalls, at
the age of 71, that he is the only
steamboat captain alive who
made the run to Eugene (aboard
the little Gyspy later wrecked
below Independence) and he has
the distinction of running to Jef
ferson on three occasions. He has
also been up the Long Tom for
cargo at Monroe.
Col. Walsh told veteran steam
boatmen that during the past
13 years three billion board
feet of logs have gone through
the locks at Oregon City and that
a single lockage of logs is equiv
alent to five railroad carloads.
A new locks at this place having
a total length of 440 feet and a
width of 56 will be soon con
structed. Passage will be accom
plished in a single lift of 47 'A
feet. When the Willamette Basin
project is completed Col. Walsh
promised his audience that the
Willamette would have a chan
nel depth of six feet from Cane
mah to the mouth of the San-
tiam, five feet southward to Cor
vallis and a depth of three and a
half feet from that point up
stream to Harrisburg.
