(Acme Telephoto) Earnings of Workers Near $1,500,000,000 The state unemployment compensation commission said today Oregon has real reason to be thankful this year, with earnings of non-farm workers expected to pass $1,500,000,000. That would be about 20 per cent higher than ever before. Employes covered by unem ployment Insurance received $574,720,656 in the first six months of this year, a gain of 24.7 per cent over the same period of 1950. Although the in crease is not expected to be so great during the remainder of 1951, reported pay rolls are esti mated at $1,200,000,000 or more. The 30 per cent of employes of small firms and others not cov ered by the law will bring the 1951 grand total well over the billion and a half mark, offi cials predict. Average covered employment of 337,562 during April, May and June not only set a new high for this period but quarter ly pay rolls of $308,110,543 were more than nine millions over the former record reported for the booming third quarter bnly One of the 70 on FBI' Original List Still Missing Washington, Nov. 21 U.J : Only one of the 10 men on the FBI's original "worst wanted" list in 1949 still is missing. He is Henry Randolph Mitch ell, 56, sought for the $10,353 robbery of a Williston, Fla., bank, January 21, 1948. - For all the others, appearance of their names among the "most wanted" has meant almost au tomatic capture. The FBI credits Us list and the wide publicity given it by the press and radio as an im portant weapon in its battle against the underworld. But agents agree that the men on the "most wanted" list are tame compared with the gang sters who terrorized the nation during the early 1930's. For example, Raymond Ed ward Young, a 38-year-old bur glar, was nabbed in a Denver bakery Saturday, only five days after he was added to the "most wanted list." He surrendered wthout any fight. Morley Vernon King, who murdered his wife, was arrested Oregon Shrimp Catch Becomes Commercial Portland, Nov. 21 (P) Oregon coastal shrimps may provide the Pacific northwest with an im portant commercial fishery. That was the report yesterday of George Harry, biologist in charge of marine research, to the Oregon state fish commis sion. Harry reported that in recent experimental expeditions off Depoe Bay, as much as 10 pounds of shrimp were brought up in a single drag. The pink shrimp are similar to those caught in Alaskan waters. The commission will continue research at Depoe Bay and off the mouth of the Columbia river next spring1. WANTED!

Threaten Suit, Unpaid Pledges Lebanon Attorneys for the board of directors of-the Leb anon community hospital are in stituting legal action against those who have failed to make good their pledges, according to a letter prepared for the press by William Goold. "A majority of the 2,516 per sons pledging varied amounts have already paid in full and on time, but a few have not only failed but utterly ignored their given pledge," the report stated. Acting on the assumption that pledges were made in good faith, the hospital board awarded a contract for the building of a new hospital at a cost of $516,- 000. Its construction is now under way and completion ex pected next summer. i Aptitude Tests for Lebanon Students Lebanon Gordon DeCoss, training officer for the state employment service, is in Leb anon this week, seeking office personnel of the local branch to give aptitude tests.

Honeymoon Over for Barbara Hollywood, Nov. 21 uB Barbara Payton scurried into hiding today with the statement she is through with Franchot Tone forever just as soon as he "pays a few bills" here and there. Through her attorney, the honey-blonde starlet announced she wasn't in auch a hurry to file for divorce now that her bridegroom of 53 days has beat en her to the punch. Tone, wealthy, cultured and angry, got his complaint in the court records yesterday morn ing, a few hours after he and Barbara battled and she stomped out of their hillside love-nest. Tone charges Barbara with "extreme mental cruelty" and said she destroyed "the legiti mate aims of matrimony. He refused to elaborate on the charge, but his attorney, Henry Herzbrun, said the marriage blew up in an argument -over Barbara's plans to make a pic ture with Actor Tom Neal, who beat up Tone in a battle for her affections last September. Herzbrun said Tone told him the fight started when he told his wife he "didn't like the idea" of her making a movie with Neal. 'She told me that she was going to do it whether I liked it or not," Tone told the attor ney. Herzbrun said that led to a discussion" that ended the mar riage. Barbara at first tried to get her suit in court yesterday but ran into a few legal complica tions. "We have to check with Tone's attorney regarding a set tlement, her lawyer, Robert Feder, explained. "That won't be very much. Merely court costs, attorneys' fees and obligations since they were married, including furni ture. Then we'll file for divorce and maybe cross-file at the same time." Disagreement Over Deficit Washington, Nov. 21 UP) Two ;overnment depart ments treasury and commerce are in sharp, disagreement about the probable size of the deficit the government will run up during the year which ends next June 30.

Commerce arrived at Its fig ure on the basis of an estimate from the senate finance commit tee that taxes will bring in about $65,000,000,000. It said the budget figures spending will be about $69,000,000,000. The treasury had estimated taxes will produce $2,500,000,000 less and spending will run $1,000,- 000,000 more.

Planes were grounded, shipping disrupted and communications broken. A Philippines air lines plane left for the United States six hours ahead of schedule, to es cape 60 miles an hour winds ex pected to hit Manila by tomor row.

'Cactus Jack' Garner to Be 83 Tomorrow By CLAUDE RAMSEY Uvalde, Tex., Nov. 21 (U.R) John Nance Garner, still as salty a character as when he was vice president, will be 83 years old tomorrow. His main ambition is to live nine more years, to the age of 92. "Then I can say I spent half my life as a private citizen, said "Cactus Jack." Garner spent 46 years in pub lic office. Of these, 39 were spent in Washington from 1902 whe he first went to congress until 1941 when he finished his second term as vice president and split with Franklin Delano Roosevelt over the third term issue, He has no formula for long evity, except that "I smoke five or six good Mexican cigars a day, and have a little whiskey at night. Sometimes I have some in the morning, too." Not much about Garner has changed since he came back from 'Washington. His voice may be a bit higher pitched, and sometimes nowadays he doesn't bother to wear his teeth. But he looks just about the same as when he was more in the public eye. And he moves among his tur keys, guineas and pecan trees at a pace sometimes that would tax a man half his age. He sticks pretty closely to the 11-room house at 333 North Park street which he built back in 1918. "I haven't eaten hut one meal of victuals out of this house since I came back In 1941," he said, hut on the eve of his 83rd birthday he said he may get away from home. "A rancher friend has invited me out to shoot a buck," he said. "Can't tell you his name because he doesn't want peoDle traipsin' over his ranch. But I have a key. And he says he has a buck tied up. If I'm feelin' good, I may shoot me a buck and stay overnight t ocat javelina." javelina is wild hog. Garner recommends it highly. "It's the best meat you ever ate. if vou get the lean part down each side of the backbone."

Phones 38162 r 24431 i mu9ii i i A 4 Pistol-Waving Woman Led Attack of Chinese Troops By ROBERT I DICK With the King's Shropshire Light Infantry, Korea, Nov. 21 .U.R) Frontline infantrymen de scribed today a pistol-waving. whistle-blowing ''woman in black" who leads Chinese assault troops. Men of the King's Shropshire light infantry, just out of the frontlines, told of seeing the woman in the van of an attack Saturday. They said she was dressed In a black jacket and black trous ers and had long black hair. She led communist troops attacking the British infantrymen's posi tion. Waving her pistol she would sound a blast from time to time on her whistle. One soldier said the whistle seemed to be a signal (or machine gun fire. "There must be something to the reports," Capt. R. H. Garnctt, of Shrewsbury, Eng., said. "There were too many reasonable and reliable witnesses reporting her presence. Of course, there was a helluva lot of noise, smoke and soot, and no chance to sit down and take notes on it or have a good observation." The captain reported the woman's unit was heavily armed with automatic weapons a burp gun or a machinegun for every two men. Solons Back from Tour of U.S. Bases Agree We're Prepared by VINCENT Washington, Nov. 21 (U.R) Ten congressmen, back from a 10,000 mile inspection tour of U. S. mil itary bases, agreed today that "if war comes, we will be prepared to meet force with force." The group reported that con struction of allied military bases ringing Russia is proceeding "re markably" fast in some places, but is "lagging" in others. The joint house committee, In cluding members of the armed services and executive expendi tures groups, returned Monday night from a two-week trip to Newfoundland, Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Italy, French Morocco and the Azores. Chairman Porter Hardy (D., Va.) said the committee inspect ed construction at 14 bases, in cluding several in Europe "with in a few minutes' jet-flying time from the Soviet Union." The legislators also visited secret sites where bases are planned as part of the armed forces' multi billion dollar construction pro gram. The congressmen were briefed in Paris by Gen. Dwight D. Eis enhower, commander of the At lantic Pact army. Hardy said that "Eisenhower bluntly put to critics of our program in Eu rope the question: 'What other sensible alternative is there?' Hardy said that construction in north Africa, "starting from scratch only a few months ago, has reached the stage where the essential facilities to assist in the defense of western Europe now exist.

She stood there waving di rections and occasionally blow- ing.her whistle which the Chinks jumped to obey," he said. "She would clap her hands to empha size her directions." ... Corp. Edwin Woodfield said there was not one woman in the forces which hit the British held hill, but two. He said another woman dressed in the uniform of the regular Chinese army directed the enemy's mortar units in sup port of the attack. She was of medium build, about 5 foot 3 inches with bobbed hair and "positively a woman." Woodfield said he was crouched in a shell crater and watched the woman move about on the crest of a nearby hill be fore British counter-fire forced her to withdraw. The British soldier also re ported that the Chinese shot their wounded comrades before withdrawing. He said they did not molest wounded British rl diers. United forces felt this may have been done to prevent the Chinese falling prisoners to the Allies. J. BURKE He attributed construction de lays at other bases to shortages of critical materials and "lengthy diplomatic negotiations" r e quired to obtain sites for over seas bases. "In some places," Hardy said, "the construction work is being carried on as economically as wc could expect, whereas in others there is serious doubt that we are getting a dollar's worth of work for each dollar expended. Some of these situations, ob viously, will require further study." Rep. Richard Boiling (D., Mo.) described construction at some bases as "a near miracle some thing like World War II, where one day there would be a pasture and within a few months there would be something function ing." Yellowstone National park is the largest In the U.S. It sprawls across more than two million acres of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
