(AP) The one who It cuf firing mwt from the postponement of the Arnutrong-Gtrci fight to November 35, U George ParnaBsua, Garcia 'a manager, who U totally surrounded by hun gry Filipinos. Parnassus thought he had a head ache two nights ago when Armstrong eame down with a lame back, but he didn't then know the extent of the calamity. He was so busy wor rying about the postponement he didn't give the hungry Filipino a thought until they descended upon him In a body at his hotel, where he was getting In a little troubled sleep. There were 13 of them. They had motored all the way here from Cali fornia in two ancient vehicles Just to watch their hero and country man. Garcia, win the welterweight championship from Armstrong. They were running short on money, they Informed Parnassus, and what was he going to do about it? Parnassus suggested, without much hope, they motor right on back to California while they still had gaso line money. This brought expres sions of pain to 13 Filipino faces. They had come here to see Cefe rlno win the title, their leader ex plained, patiently, and they didn't mind waiting until November 25. Although they didn't say so in as many words, it was made clear to Parnassus, a sad-faced Greek, he would be expected to play host to Garcia's most loyal rooters until auch time as he got Ceferlno In the same ring with Armstrong. The let tuce-picking season doesn't start back home for some months. It seems, so there Is plenty of time. Here I'm wondering how Ceferlno and I are going to eat and train for another month, and now these 13 Filipinos pile In on me," he wailed as he paced the doctor's outer room, waiting for the latest report on Armstrong's condition. "I can't send these guys home. pent an hour this morning finding a cheap place for them to live, but I still don't know how I'm going to pay for It. Maybe I can get the box ing commission to give me Arm strong's $2000 forfeit until he la ready to fight." -(Eds. Note: The commission said so.) By the Associated Press CHICAGO Tony Musto. 100.

OREOONIANS In Washington such as Oregon's own SADIE ORR DUN BAR, National President, General Federation of Women'a Clubs, en title the state to swagger a bit. As the popular leader of so many above-the-average women, ahe Is a potent force In national and political affairs and Is ao recognized by the "Powers-That-Be" in the Capital City. Prov ing that her head is aquarely on her shoulders and her feet firmly planted on the soil of TRADITIONAL Amer ica. Mrs. Dunbar is now urging with perfect timing that members of her clubs and all other clubs thoroughly investigate, BEFORE endorsing, all movement, groups, or Individuals, thus avoiding unintentional support for any of the many "ISMS" now threatening our national well-being. When In Washington, Mrs. Dunbar has spacious living apartments In the old mansion on N street purchased by the Federation for Its national headquarters. Jtst now ahe is tour ing her far-flung domain.

Robert, Jr., President General, N. 8. D. A. R., the newly elected national officers, and most of the state regents are here for the fall board meetings, plus luncheons, teas. and banquets Interchangeable with half a dozen other prominent socie ties simultaneously holding board meetings; such aa "Founders and Patriots," "Daughters of 1813," "Dis abled American Veterans. Auxiliary." the "F. F. V." (First Families of Virginia) than which there Is no whlcher, unless It be the "Mayflower Descendant," also holding forth. National President of the Mayflow er Society 1 Frank B. Steele (also resident Secretary General of the Sons of the American Revolution, who is mightily pleased with the lusty infant chapter formed in Med ford this summer). Mr. Steele Is usually roped In on most of the sister group afaflra. also, as speaker, toast master, or honored guest. And, by the way, It would prob ably require the services of both Ellrabeth Dilllng (the Red. Net Work) and the Involved charts of Major General Fries (Communism Un masked) to untangle and explain the Interlocking officials and members of these patriotic organisations "The Red, White St Blue Net Work," so to apeak. None of tne banquet, etc.. or visit ing back and forth la allowed to Interfere with the truly far reaching and worthwhile work and objectives of these groups, mch a school and contests for training our youth In true cltlnenahlp. supporting national defense through patriotic education, and exposing subtle attacks on our institutions and government. MEDFORD and other western com munities lead In "Toast master" clubs and other self-Improvement efforts. It would seem. Familiar with the Interesting and successful achieve ment of the Oregon club, we made inquiries here, hoping to edge In on one somehow or other. We failed to find even a similar organlratlon. al though many schools and formal, paid classes exist, conducted by pro fessional teachers, for the benefit of thousands of government officials who are constantly called upon to talk thither snd yon. In fact, a number of bureaus and Information headquarters suggested that we get busy and organize a few such kindred-soul groups. If we should take that on, we'll yell for help. .
