Biskie Writes
Of Italian Trip
Corporal Robert Biskie, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Herman A.
Biskie of 2382 State street, and
attached to the signal corps with
the American army of occupa
tion in Germany, had opportun
ity recently to make an extend
ed tour of Italy.
Writing to his parents, Cor
popral Biskie spoke of Rome as
an attractive city but was not
overly impressed with what he
saw at Naples. While in Rome
Biskie and the group with which
he traveled had an interview
with the pope who greeted each
person in the audience.
Another point of interest was
the invasion beach at Solarno.
The party took time to visit
upper Bavaria where the Pas
sion play is produced.
Following graduation from
Salem high school, Biskie took
one year of work at Willamette
and then graduated from the
University of Washington as a
major in business. While sta
tioned at Munich, he is current
ly teaching a class in mathe
matics among GI students.

That's what Cyril Ainsworth

the Grand Mound report.
Meanwhile, Merriman pick
ed up a young motorist with
out a drive'r's license, who told
a convincing story of having
to get to his home in Chelalis
"in a hurry." After calling the
police station and learning
there were no reports of stol
en cars or boys "on the loose"
from the Chehalis institution,
the officer let the youngster
go.
A few minutes later John

ported his car had been stolen
on North Tower avenue here.
It was found abandoned yes

news when Randolph Scott
Anderson and William S. Hart
Rogers, the hoss opry has been
one of Hollywood's most popu
lar commodities. "When
doubt, do a western" is sage
advice in this town.
Highbrows have said the west
ern is filmdom's sole original
contribution to the arts.
Randy Scott is one of the
most successful portrayers of
the frontier hero. Finding him
in a rare talkative mood, on the
"Colt .45" set, I querried him
about his profession.
Why do you make westerns?
Are they easier?"
Scott parked himself and his
monstrous guns and began ex
pounding: "No, westerns are harder. I'd
say they were three times hard
er than the usual boy-meets-girl
picture.
"I make westerns because I
like them. Westerns have been
the mainstay of the movie indus
try ever since its beginning. And
they have been good to me.
"Westerns are a type of pic
ture which everybody can see
and enjoy. They are family pic
tures for both kids and adults.
"There is always a moral to
the story. Right always tri
umphs. Wrongdoers are always
punished. Sure, I have shot
people on the screen. But I was
sheriff and I was justified. Be
sides, they 'had it coming.'
"Western pictures are good
for people who live in metro
politan areas, who otherwise
never get a chance to see the
wide open spaces. It gives them
a chance to get a little action
into their lives. '
"Westerns always make mon
ey. And they always increase a
star's fan following.
"I get fan fail from Australia
Japan, the Scandinavian coun
tries and other foreign lands.
They like westerns, too."
What about himself?
Scott's leathery face broke in
to a grin.
"Sure, I go see westerns. My
wife likes them, too."
Morgan Resigns
From Legislature
Monmouth, Dec. 3 VP) Rep.
Howard Morgan (D., Multno
mah) is resigning from the legis
lature to go on temporary active
duty for the navy.
Morgan will be a lieutenant,
undertaking a short course on ec
onomics and industrial mobiliza
tion in Portland.
He said he resigned because
the state constitution forbids a
person from serving in the legis
lature while holding a "lucra
tive federal office.
Morgan recently moved to
Polk county, where' he has a
farm. His change in residence
also makes him ineligible to hold
his legislative seat under Ore
gon laws.
