Stunt Pianist
PleasesK&F
He probably horrified and
scandalized lovers of the pure
classics, but Henry L. Scott, des
ignated as the "world s most
versatile concert pianist," pro
vided a field night for admirers
of rumbas, tangos, swing and
boogie-woogie in the Leslie jun
ior high school auditorium Tues
day night.
Brought here by the Salem
Knife and Fork club, Scott
thumped the piano with virtual
ly every part of his anatomy
but his feet, to the amusement of
a capacity audience. On the ser
ious side his rendition of the
Second Hungarian Rhapsody by
Liszt, Pastoral by Scarlatti and
C Sharp Minor Waltz by Chopin,
was proof positive that the New
Yorker has a repertoire that is
not entirely acrobatics.
Among Scott s unusual per
formances was "Chopin in the
Citrus Belt" during which he
introduced .an orange and a
large grapefruit and "Mittens
on the Keys." He played a some
what technical selection while
wearing a pair of two fingered
mittens.
On the nostalgic side, for
many of the oldsters at least
was Scott's imitation of an old
time mechanical piano player
that is somewhat out of order
The audience was augmented
by several hundred guests of the
Knife and Forkers.
Hub Caps Taken M. F. Low,
1336 Court street, reported to
Salem police that hub caps had
been stolen from his car. The
lost items were valued at $7.50.

"For the money we spend on

more than ever before," the pas
tor said, explaining that 70 per

"go to bed hungry."
He pointed out that "this

Blood Donors
Needed Tuesday
Donors are needed to give
blood when the mobile unit
from the regional Dlood center
comes here next Tuesday, states
the Red Cross office
The unit will be in operation
between 1 and 5 p.m. at the First
Methodist church. The visit is
sponsored by the Willamette
university groups this time but
the general public is not exclud
ed from being donors. All per
sons interested in giving blood
are asked to call the Red Cross
office for appointments.
Only 26 pints were obtained
when the unit visited St. Paul,
Tuesday, although the figure
was rated satisfactory because it
was difficult for those in farm
ing areas to leave their work
and appear at the unit.
More blood is needed to carry
on the program in Marion coun
ty, however, and the Red Cross
is hopeful at least 100 pints may
be obtained at the Tuesday visit
in Salem.
Defense
(Continued from Page 1)
Of atomic power, he said:
"Our stockpile of atomic
bombs, and our ability to deliver
them, affords us an immediate
but inconclusive blow of retail
atlon. Our research and devel
opment program, not only in
bombs and missiles, but in other
weapons and techniques, if prop
erly maintained and supported
should continue to improve the
position of the United States and
its friends. "
Urges Sub Program
Bradley urged that the navy's
submarine and anti-submarine
program go along "as fast as our
research and development facili
ties will permit," and added
I am glad; to be able to tell
you, from my personal observa
tion, that we are progressing
rapidly in this field."
Over a long period of peace
time, he said, the United States
"should not expect to match the
Soviet Union plane for plane,
ship for ship, division for divi
sion without lowering its stan
dard of living."
"If it is the desire of the
American people to assemble
forces that will statistically give
the Umted States a preponder
ance of military power next
year then we shall have to be
come an armed camp," he declar
ed. Such a source eventually
"will be a drain, not only on the
economy, but on democracy and
its many freedoms," he added
Bulldozer Accident
Fatal to Spokane Man
Vincent I. Tomshaw, 35, of
Spokane, a railroad worker for
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle

ell, Marion county coroner.
Death was caused by a crushed
chest.
At the time of the accident he
was operating a bulldozer and
crashed into a bridge piling
on the Santiam river just south
of Talbot. He apparently was
filling in dirt on the right of
way below the bridge. Leonard
Schuk, another railroad work
er found him shortly after 1 o-
clock and called state police.
Survivors include his widow,
Mrs. Clara M. Tomshaw and five
children, all in Spokane. The

Tallest Man
(Continued from Page 1)
Thompson, who traveled with
circuses for 13 years, billed as
the tallest man in the world,
will practice law in Portland
His office, at 2425 N. Killings
worth street, is also his home,
and the furnitures and fixings
are built to king size so that he
has no added problem of furnish
ing a downtown office.
He practiced law In Iola, Wis,
about four years before coming
to Portland last August. He got
his law degree at Marquette
University in MUwauKie, wis.
Thompson, who wears size Ti
shoes and has his suits tailor
made when he can find a tailor
who has the perceptive, was
with the Al G. Barnes and Cole
Bros, circuses.
Traveling around, he has had
quite a problem in the matter of
hotel accommodations. Hotels
just don't have nine-foot beds.
"At home I have a special
made bed," Thompson said.
When I have to stay in a hotel,
I order a room with two beds
side by side. I sleep mostly in
one bed and stretch out my feet
in the other."
How about the matter of feed
for a frame that size?
For breakfast Thompson will
have a big bowl of oat meal,
four eggs, four pieces of toast,
three doughnuts and a pot of
coffee.
He'll eat a substantial lunch,
varying with his desire.
Then for dinner, he'll nave a
two-pound steak preferably T
bnne or tenderloin. With this will
go two baked potatoes, a vege
table of one sort or another, six
slices of bread, two pieces of
pie and a quart of milk.
After being admitted to prac
tice law in Oregon, Thompson
went over to the capitol build
ing, to the office of Secretary
of State Earl T. Newbry, and
took the necessary steps to be
come also a notary public.
Then he and Kraemer went
out to Court street and got into
Thompson's special built car,
It's a standard club coupe
(Chrysler) but Thompson has
had the front seats removed and
uses the back seat for the front
seat. The seats are cut down and
slanted back. A foot or so has
been added to the steering
wheel. The added room enables
Thompson to reach the clutch
and brake without difficulty.
And as Kraemer observed as
they started the drive back to
Portland, "when you're riding
in the front seat of this car, you
feel like you're riding in the
back seat."

Harl Returns
To Islands
After half a century in the
Philippines, Irving Hart is on
his way back to devote, as he
says, "the rest of my life" in
the interest of deformed chil
dren in the islands.
He has been in Salem and Sil
verton the last few days visit
ing his only living cousin, Mrs
John Merrifield of Silverton,
whom he had not seen since his
last visit to the mainland 42
years ago.
Hart went to the islands with
the Third U. S. cavalry from
New York and during the sec
ond world war was a Japanese
prisoner, organizing the Philip
pine "Band of Mercy." He spent
the last six months in this coun
ty in the interest of this work.
He became interested in the
rehabilitation of children many
years ago and recently was
named commissioner at large for
Philippine Boy Scouts. He re
cently received word that the
Philippine Rotary clubs had
awarded him a medal of hero
ism for his work with Boy
bcouts and Camp Fire Girls in
the leper colony.
Additional awards held by
Hart are a medal for his work
by the Philippine . Women's
clubs, a certificate of award by
the national Boy Scout office for
meritorious action" and the
two highest Camp Fire Girls'
awards.
Bares Red Spy
(Continued from Pace 1)
Presenting his first case to the
subcommittee today, McCarthy
said:
"Let us take the case of Dor
othy Kenyon. This lady, ac
cording to the latest issue of the
official registry of the U.S. gov
ernment, is on the commission
on the status of women, U.S
member on the commissions of
the economic and social council,
U.S. mission to the United Na
tions, department of state. Her
salary is $12,000 a year.
"This lady has been affiliated
with at least 28 communist-front
organizations, all of which have
been declared subversive bv an
official government agency. Nine
of the 28 have been cited as sub
versive by the attorney general
of the United States. '
The hearing before the demo
cratic controlled committee was
billed as a showdown on Mc
Carthy's charges.
McCarthy named the Congress
of American Women as one of
the communist front organiza
tions with which he said Miss
Kenyon is affiliated. Then he
added:
"As an indication of the far-
reaching power and influence of
this communist-front organiza
tion, the committee might be
concerned to know that Mrs.
Dean Acheson, the wife of the
secretary of state, is listed on
page 1023 of appendix 9 of the
records of the house committee
on un-American activities as a
sponsor of its Washington
branch.
Purveyors of Treason
"There is no length to which
these purveyors of treason will
not go to bring into their fold
the names of unsuspecting and
misguided men and women who
are influenced by a glib story
of social or economic improve
ment and thus lend prestige to
a sordid and dissolute cause,
"Mrs. Acheson appears once
on the roster of these subver
sive organizations and Miss Ken
yon more than a score of times."
Tydings touched off a row at
the outset by demanding that
McCarthy name a high state de
partment official whom McCar
thy had accused of shielding dis
loyal persons.
McCarthy balked, saying he
would do so when he gets to that
particular case.

the singing of certain folk songs
not adapted to larger groups.
