American Brides Come Cheap- Judge to FdC6
On Down Payment Basis, That Is f harnoc A now

By HAKMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Mar. (U.R) This won't set very well with our
lovely women folks, but you ve got to lace the facts,
The National Geographic society says that American brides
come cheap on a down payment basis, this is compared to
their less civilized sisters in the grass skirt sets in primitive
lands. '
If the American1 lover has $2
or so in his jeans he can buy a
marriage license and trot his
girl off to the ater There, after
pledging to love, honor, and
obey, he can slip the parson
whatever he can afford and be
awav on his honeymoon.
But that's not so in other
lands.
The N. G. S. has looked into
the matter and comes up with
some interesting data.
Take New Guinea. There the
native swains find a price tag
of $600 on their lady loves. True,
they can go into the woods and
pluck a few wild flowers and
maybe spear a wild boar for the
wedding feast, but there still re
mains the original cash outlay.
In Nigeria, the high cost of
. brides is causing a fine old to-do,

Cops Turn Table
On Holdup Man
Baltimore. March 4 ff A
swaggering holdup suspect who
forced two policemen to chauf
feur him around in a squad car
was slain last night wnen xne oi
turned the ride into a
rfooth (rnpplf for his gun.
Patrolmen John Biemiller and
w.nh .TuHH said they drove
Francis D. H. Clark for a mile
before turning the tables on him.
He died of bullet wounds in the
v,oaH rhpst and leg.
Biemiller and Judd gave this
account of the episode:
They picked up Clark, 31, in
connection with the $hu roDoeiy
nr a North Baltimore ice cream
parlor less than an hour earlier.
He was searched and placed in
the back seat of the prowl car.
The officers taking the front
eat- . V. J
As they pulled away for head
quarters the prisoner proauueu a
revolver and shoved it into the
,aM- of Judd. who was driving.
"This is it drive where I tell
on ho ordered. "Obey all
traffic signals."
Once when Judd stopped mo
montarilv a few blocks away,
the gunman warned, "I'm not
after any damn foolishness. This
is really going to be it."
vinallv he ordered the car
halted near a cemetery and de
manded the officers to hand him
their service pistols, one at a
time. Judd complied first.
Biemiller hesitated, then Judd
dived into the back seat after
Clark's gun. Clark fired at least
twice and Biemiller, gun now
drawn, retruned several- shots.
Three hit Clark, who gasped,
"You got me I give up" and
died.
Except for a slight hand
wound Judd suffered in the
struggle for Clark's weapon, the
policemen were unhurt.

School Notes
By MERRITT LINN
The Keizer school safety pa
trol basketball tournament end
ed in victory for Mr. Weddle's
eighth grade room. They won
by a score of 63-26 in the final
game of the series with Mrs. Ev
ans' sixth grade room The game
was played on Friday, the 24th,
in the school gym.
The school had a George
Washington program the 22nd.
There were several musical num
bers and a talk on his life. Mrs.
Streeter presented Mrs. Evans'
and Mrs. Yung's sixth grade
rooms with an American flag
for winning the flag code con
test in the Marion county divis
ion. Also at the program 4-H
club awards were presented to
certain pupils.

Court Approves Bequest
Los Angeles, March 4 ffl The
last wish of 'Author Lewis
Browne has been upheld by the
court and so little Wendy Rub
in whom he never saw is $5,
000 richer today.
On January 3, 1949, Browne
placed a $5,000 treasury bond in
an envelope with the request
that it go to the then unborn
child of his doctor. Then he com
mitted suicide because of fail
ing eyesight.
Browne also left $5,000 to Di
ane, another daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. Henry Rubin. Court
approval came yesterday. .
of the country, a shapely, pretty
gal may win for her pappy as
much as $250, while the parents
of a homely girl with skinny
pipes and buck teeth would have
to be satisfied with three mangy
goais.
Around the world where
onde-buymg is an accented cus
torn, a girl must hide her head
in shame unless she earns some
thing for papa. In the society of
the Kaffirs, members of the
Bantu races of South Africa,
girl who is not bought with
cattle is dubbed an "old cat" by
ner camptire sisters. An "old cat1
down there adds up to one word
worthless."
With the Kuki-Lushai people
of Assam, India, a young man is
expected to give a few gourds
of fire-water to his sweetheart's
parents when he calls to ask her
to be his own.
If the folks accept him, he
moves in on the girl's father and
goes right to work. He becomes
a servant in the household for
three years. Then, if he has kept
nis nose dry, clean, and has
otherwise behaved, he is free to
wed. But another two years of
servitude is required before he
can go into the woods and cut
down the material for his own
thatch hut.
In Alaska, the situation is dif
ferent. A hopeful suitor of the
Kenai doesn't bother to ask for
parental consent. He slips silent
ly into the old man's igloo and
begins to cook, clean, and take
care of steaming-up water for
the baths. If he does a good 1ob.
he is allowed to work on for a
year, then he can marry the girl
and start igloo-inhabiting on his
own.
All of which makes America a
wonderful country.
we fellows expect, by tradi
tion, to have the papa-in-law
foot all the bills for the wedding,
give us a set of sterling and may
be a new hpuse for a wedding
present and to leave us forever
alone once we settle down.
Oregon Embassy,
Not Operating
Now, Says Norblad
Washington, March 4 (U.R)
Rep. Walter Norblad, R., Ore.,
today answered a postcard ad
dressed to the "Oregon Em
bassy" by advising its New
York sender that Oregon has
been a state for 91 years.
H. D. Steein, (385 Amboy .
st.) New York, said in his
postcard message that he
would like "maps, pictures
and stories of Oregon." Nor
blad sent as many as he had
and added:
"May I advise that Oregon
does not have an embassy in
Washington or elsewhere as
it is now and has been for 91
years a state of the United
States of America."
Sullivan, Ind., March 4 VP)
Refiling of three charges against
Judge Norval K. Harris of Sul-li'-an
circuit court was planned
by Prosecutor John K. Furcell
today.
Grand jury indictments con
taining three charges were set
aside yesterday by Special Judge
Ralph A. Seal of Vincennes,
who sustained a defense plea in
abatement.
However, prosecutor said he
would file new affidavits cover
ing the charges next week, and
Judge Seal overruled defense
motions to dismiss charges and
to dismiss Judge Harris from
custody.
The 98-year-old judge was in
dicted in his own court Jan. 25
on charges of forgery, embezzle
ment and issuing fraudulent
check. He is free on his own rec
ognizance pending further ac
tion in the case.
Judge Harris, a democrat, was
named last year as co-chairman
with Singer Paul Robeson of a
national committee to defend 11
communist leaders in their trial
in New York.
The defense contended in its
plea in abatement that the grand
jury which returned indictments
was illegally constituted. It
charged a change in personnel
was made after the jury was
sworn in.

Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Saturday, March 4, 19503
Says Wallace
Party Red Front
San Francisco, March 4 W)
A government witness in the
Harry Bridges perjury trial tes
tified Friday that the third party
formed in 1946 "was conceived,
born and nursed as a front or
ganization for the communist
party."
The witness was Mervyn
Rathborne, a communist, he said,
from 1935 to 1946.
For years Rathborne was a
close associate of Bridges in
maritime union affairs, and held
top posts in the CIO. He testi
fied he had attended numerous
communist meetings with Brid
ges.
The prosecution has put in
testimony that formation of the
third party the progressives
was one of the things that caused
Rathborne to break with the
communists and with Bridges.
Bridges, now president of the
CIO Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's union is accused of
swearing falsely in his 1945
citizenship hearing that he was
n't a communist.
As a government rebuttal wit
ness, Rathborne remained today
under cross-examination of Vin
cent, Hallinan, chief of the de
fense staff.
The third party plan, he said,
was brought here in 1946 from
New York by William Schnei-
derman, head of the communist
party in California. The pro
gram, Rathborne continued,
laid down the communist line."
