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

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.

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.

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.
The commerce department, in
an analysis of business trends it
made public yesterday, estimat
ed the deficit at $4,000,000,000.
Secretary of the Treasury Sny
der had predicted it will be
about $7,500,000,000.
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.

Octogenarian Former Vice
President John Nance Garner;
to celebrate his 83rd birthday
Thanksgiving, shells pecans at
table on back porch of his
Uvalde, Tex., home.
'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."

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.

Sgt. Henry Ganon, who spent
Saturday night half buried by0verlan(i 'Moto , of
unit attacked, said he was no
more than 20 yards from her at
one point.
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.

it has begun production of
new six-passenger sedan, a
"big brother" to its jeep.
Howard P. Grove, vice presi
dent of Willys, addressed a

istics." The new vehicle will be
in production next month.)
Grove said a six-cylinder
high compression F-head engine
would power the new Willys.
Heretofore, the firm has spe
