Dallas Mayor May Seek
Polk Legislative Post
Dallas, Dec. 29 Mayor Hollis Smith of Dallas will probably
be a candidate for the republican nomination to the Oregon house
of representatives from Polk county if Lyle Thomas, present
representative, does not seek another term in 1950, the mayor
indicates in a statement.
Smith states that he had

Pension Study
Washington, Dec. 29 W Now
is the time for a real study of
the whole pension and welfare
problem, says Federal Mediation
Chief Cyrus S. Ching.
Ching's business is settling
labor disputes and preventing
them from occurring if possible.
He believes that uncertainty
over what congress is going to
do about expanding the present
social security plan, plus dis
crepancies and weaknesses of
employers' w e 1 f a r e-pension
plans, could lead to costly labor
troubles.
"It would be well to take our
bearings," Ching counselled in
a statement last night, "and de
vise a national policy which
will help us to set our future
course with deliberation."
Jakarta New
Name of Batavia
(By the Associated Press)
Jakarta the name the Unit
ed States of Indonesia soon will
give to Batavia, its capital city
means strong or important ci
ty. This is the ancient Indonesian
name.
In 1619 Dutch Governor Gen
eral Jan Pieterszoon Coen took
the town of Jakarta and gave it
the Dutch name of Batavia. It
has kept that name up until the
formation of the new republic.
The new nation's capital is
not to be confused with the city
in central Java with a similar
name Jogjakarta which
means pleasant city. Jogjakarta
is the seat of the Sultan of Jog
jakarta and served as the capital
of the Indonesian republic up
until the republic was merged
in the United States of Indonesia,
Betty Lou Marbury's
Condition Excellent
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 29 (JP)
Betty Lou Marbury, a 10-year-
old picture of courage and faith,
lay resting today from an oper
ation that took her diseased right
hand.
She had hoped the prayers of
)the nation would save it, but she
gave it up with the firm belief
it was "the will of God."
The cute little Brownsville
Tenn., farm girl's condition was
described as good. She was be
ing attended by three special
nurses.
The amputation, necessary to
save her life, was done yester
day. A malignant bone tumor
was the c a u s e of the plucky
youngster s trouble.
Doctors here and in Boston
were consulted before it was de
cided that to remove the hand
between wrist and elbow, was
imperative to keep the malig
nancy from spreading.
Sisters Are Together
For Seasonal Reunion
SUverton A holiday reunion
of four sisters, the former Fun
rue "girls", is being enjoyed in
a pre-New Years stay of a few
days at the Corvallis home of
one of the group, Mrs. Clara Loe,
all formerly of Silverton.
Driving to the Loe home
Tuesday were Mrs. Ed Overlund,
Mrs. C. J. Towe, both of Silver-
Won, and Mrs. Jalmer Ellison
f-id her small daughter, Sharon,
'ot Mulino.

nual visit each year at the home
of one member of the four.
lie meetings on at least two oc
casions but declared, "I'm not at
all interested so long as Lyle
Thomas seeks the position."
Thomas, who has represented
Polk county since 1935, but for
one term, stated recently that he
may oppose Walter Norblad for
representative in Congress from
the first district in the 1950
elections. He said, however that
financial support and adequate
interest must be shown in his
candidacy before he will make
the race. Since then, labor
groups and some farmer organi
zations have urged him to run,
but he has not committed him
self definitely on the matter.
In his statement Mayor Smith
said, "I feel that Thomas has
done a fine job in the legislature.
He has carried the ball for the
League of Oregon Cities and has
done good work on other legislation."
The mayor said that "pres
sure from the eastern part of
the county" had been brought
to bear on him to make the race
for the legislature.
At the same time, the Dallas
mayor, who is now president of1
the League of Oregon Cities,
stated, "I hate to think of giv
ing up my municipal work."
Through the league, Mayor
Smith has been prominent in
municipal planning at meetings
over the nation. He just recent
ly returned from a convention
of the American Municipal as
sociation in Cleveland. Ohio.
where he was a member of the
resolutions committee. Later he
attended a meeting of the Pa
cific board of inter-government-al
relations at San Francisco,
representing the state of Ore
gon on the municipal level.
His term as mayor in Dallas
expires in 1950, also, but he in
dicated that he will seek re
election. In the event that
Thomas does not seek re-election
to the legislature, Smith
may run for both positions.
This is not without precedent.
Other legislators have repre
sented their respective counties
while serving as mayor of their
home towns. Among these were
Carl Francis, Yamhill county
representative and mayor of
Dayton.
Hervey Allen,
Author, Dies
Miami, Fla., Bee. 29 W)
Hervey Allen, world-famous au
thor of "Anthony Adverse," died
of a heart attack at his winter
home here yesterday. He was
60.
The noted author's body was
found on the bathroom floor
and Dr. Franz Stewart, heart
specialist, said he apparently
was stricken while preparing to
shave.
He frequently worked late at
night and slept late, so no alarm
was felt when he failed to ap
pear in the morning. Mrs. Al
len found the body about 1 p.m.
(EST).
Intimates said they had known
since 1939 that he had a "bad
heart" but he refused all sug
gestions that he see a doctor.
He attended the customary
rounds of Christmas festivities
with his family, including one
gathering the night before his
death.1
Allen had maintained a win
ter home here since 1933. He
had a summer home at Cazen
ovia, N.Y.
The explanation, which we shouldn t tell so soon in this story, is
simply the fact that Tony and'
Nina were married last July 31
by proxy.
Tony, 22, said his fond good
bye to Nina in Nicastro, Italy,
in November, 1948. He left to
take up a new life in Canada at
the home here of his grandfather,
Jasper Nicoter.
But before he left, he promis
ed his dark-eyed Italian sweet
heart he would get her over
here as soon as possible. The
love they shared chopped the
immigration tape.
On July 31, Tony, in Van
couver, married Nina, in Italy.
His uncle in Nicastro represent
ed him at the ceremony and took
the vows for him. The proxy
marriage was necessary to en
able Nina to come to Canada
in accordance with immigration
laws.
The wedding had the sanction
of the Roman Catholic church
and the blessings of the Cana
dian diplomatic corps in Iitaly.
Tuesday night Nina arrived,
thanks to the dollars Tony has
saved since working as a lab
orer in the Vancouver Water
works department. Right away,
they held their wedding recep
tion at grandfather's home, five
months after the wedding.
Asked if she liked Canada
Nina laughed: "Si, si, si, si."
Translator Mary Iaci said
this means: "Oh wonderful, crazy
to come, love it.

Rats Gnaw All
Baby's Fingers
Abilene, Tex., Dec. 29 W)
Rats gnawed all 10 fingers and
thumbs from the hands of a
three-months-old Abilene child
it was reported here today.
The incident occurred last
Saturday when Mrs. Rito Mar
tinez left her daughter, Carmen
Martinez, in her small apart
ment while she visited another
apartment.
When she returned she found
the little girls hands were
bleeding profusely and a small
mongrel dog, the family's pet,
was licking the wounds. Mrs.
Martinez said she believes the
dog frightened the rats away.
The father of the child later
found two large rats in the
house.
