MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1939.

PISTOL SHOOTERS
E
The response of pistol shoot
ers to the Medford rifle club's
Invitation was evidence last
Sunday when a number spent
the afternoon firing at the in
door targets at the range in the
basement of the natatorium
building. So much enthusiam
was expressed that the local
club feels a very creditable
squad of pistol marksmen will
be developed.
It is the ideal time for the
novice, if interested, to get
started in this fascinating sport,
as he need not feel embarrassed
at low scores, as all will be
starting from scratch.
The range will be open again
next Sunday at 2 p. m. and it
is especially desired that all in
terested may be there in order
to fix a weekly shooting night
that is agreeable to all. Due to
range conditions, all firing will
be limited to the .22 calibre
hand gun, whether single shot
pistol, revolver or automatic.
Wednesday evening saw the
first stage completed of an off
hand pistol match between
Shelby Tuttle and Ivan Wad
dell of the local rifle club and
two marksmen of the Lander,
Wyo., rifle club. Total score of
the two local men was 368x400
for an average of 92 per tar
get. Complete scores for the eve
ning under the national handi
cap system:
Shelby Tuttle 391

MAIN EVENT FOR
Berlin, Nov. 24. W Can
cellation of the winter Olympic
games, scheduled for Garmisch
Partenkirschen, was announced
today by Hans Von Tschammer
Osten, reich sports leader.
The German Olympic com
mittee and the organization com
mittee for the games took the
action in view of a resolution
of the international Olympic
committee that a belligerent
country cannot hold the games.
Previously Japan had given up
both the summer and winter
games.
The statement said "because
Germany's proposals for bring
ing about world peace were de
clined by the English and
French governments and there
fore the war must be continued,
Germany returns the commis
sion to conduct the games to
the international Olympic committee."
At the
National Capitol
With
John W. Kelly
(Continued Iron. Page One.)
After working in three pre
liminary matches, Ernie Piluso,
the Portland mat flash, gets his
chance to go in a main event
next Monday night. He's slated
to grapple Paul Bozell, erst
while Black Dragon, who hasn't
been beaten since coming back
to Medford two weeks ago.
Bob Kenaston, Gold Hill fa
vorite, steps down a notch to
tackle King Kong Clayton In
the middle affair, and Herb
Parks, the Vancouver, B. C,
cleanie, takes on Eddie Rogers,
in the opener. Rogers is re
turning after several months
absence.
New York, Nov. 24. (!P
The offices of the American
Olympic committee said today
Hans Von Tschammer-Osten,
German sports leader, was not
empowered to cancel the 1940
winter Olympic games, but
could merely reject them on
Germany's behalf and return
them to the international Olym
pic committee.
However, since the games
must be held during 1940 and
were scheduled for February, it
is extremely doubtful the I.O.C.
will be able to award them to
any other country in time for
that country to make adequate
preparations.
Finland, at last report, still
was determined to now tne
main Olympic games, scheduled
for Helsinki July 20 to August 4,
Portland Fullback
Lauded by Mathews
Portland, Nov. 24. (P)
Coach R. L. (Matty) Mathews
believes Gonzaga university will
get a glimpse of the west s hard
est hitting fullback here Sun
day against the University of
Portland football team.
The Portland pigskin tutor
says 190-pound Joe Enzler is the
best line-smashing fullback he
has seen in 30 years of football
and points to the ease with
which Enzler broke through the
husky St. Mary s line.
Portland, Nov. 24. tfP) In

cident were fatal yesterday for
Floyd Paine, Molalla logger.

CAN FRANCISCO. It's been
a hnt Hnv in the Snprampnto
v a 1 1 e y Thanksgiving or no
Thanksgiving. And it's just as
hot in the city tonight as it
has been in the valley today. No
cooling breeze from the ocean,
as in the summer.
It's a strange, strange fall.
AT THE service station in
Dunsmuir this morning, the
pump boy cocked a weather eye
at the dry hill across the Sac
ramento river.
"If we don't get some snow
before long," he volunteered
that old hill will be drying
up and blowing away. We have
not had a drop of moisture since
the storm in early October, and
it doesn't look today as if we d
EVER get any more."
HUMAN beings just HAVE to
have something to worry
about, don't they? With the ham
and eggs menace out of the way
down here, they're turning to
the weather.
Well, the weather always
obliges. If it isn't too wet, it'i
too dry or too hot or too cold
As a worry-provider, t h
weather is God's gift to man
kind.
BOOMTOWN-on-the-highway is
growing up and putting on
airs. The drab shacks of its early
days are giving way to fairly
neat cottages. Paint is every
where.
As a result. It is no longer
much of a topic for converse
tlon. We pay little attention to
the things we re accustomed to,
PEOPLE are ' always LOOK
ING FORWARD to some
thing In this world.
Along the highway near the
McCloud river, a hopeful citi
zen has a place he has just
named Lakeshore Resort Lake
Redding is still several years
in the future, but this boy is
getting ready for it.
He aims to be all set and
ready when the reclamation
service brings a lake to his
front door.
That's what one might call
peaceful preparedness.
a
IT'S a little hard to think of
these canyons being filled
with a blue lake, with widely
spread fingers, but that's what
is coming.
(Everybody looks forward to
it now. but will find somethin
to kick about when it comes),

New York (U.R) As a resu
of numerous suggestions by
Hunter college students, a series
of four lectures on marriage

NOT ready for publicity yet (ex
perlments are still in progress),
j Is a new weapon for the navy a
high-powered speed boat designed
,.for torpedo attack. If deckled a
success, there Is no reason why this
i type craft cannot be built In num
bers on the Columbts river and
I Puget sound, where some very fast
! motor and speed boats have been
constructed in the past.
The craft Is a 60-footer. carrying
four torpedoes and a crew of etht.
It depends on speed alone for de
fense and has Installed an engine
so powerful that there has never
been anything In the U. S. navy to
approach It In kicking up m. p. h.
At this time no one knows what
speed the boat will attnln. but the
guoss places It at 60 knots. This
may be an over-statement, or It
may not.
-
IS theory, the torpedo speedboat
dashes to within easy range of
a warship, lets loose a torpedo or
two and swirls away before the deck
watch can ratso an alarm. It Is too
fast for a gun to be trained upon It;
as a target It la aa fleet as a wild
duck. Under cover of fog the motor
boat la a deadly menace.
A Canadian caught the Idea from
the speedboats so popular la the
United States. He developed the plan
and has been selling his torpedo
boats to the British for S35O.OO0 each.
In the one the American navy la
experimenting with the ordnance
and machinery Is being Installed by
the navy, but the hull was con
structed by private builders. No large
shipyard Is necessary to turn out the
hulls.
THERE Is a new buyer for the
scrap Iron of the Pacific north
west, which heretofore has found a
market In Japan. Britain has placed
an order for 740.000 tons of scrap
and this has caused a spurt In the
Junk business all over the country.
No one Is raising the question that
the scrap Is to be used for shrapnel.

EVERY employer In Oregon and
Washington who has had dif
ficulties with the National Labor
Relations board haa been requested
to answer this:
"Please furnish whatever Informa
tion you can on the attitude and
conduct of the attorneya for NLRB
before and during the hearing; the
attitude and conduct of the trial
examiner before and during the hear
ing, and the cost of the hearing to
your company as well as the effect.
If any. the results had upon your
community." Also: "Did the trial
examiner direct the reporter to omit
from the record any part of the
proceedings? State the approximate
cost to you of obtaining a steno
graphic transscrlptton of ths testu
mony and, if known, ths cost per
page."
The questions are propounded by
the house committee Investigating
NLRB and these queries touch ou
matters of special interest to ft
number of concerns in the Paclflo
northwest. That question about tho
cost of a atenographle transcription
Is expected to lead to something
sensational.
One agency of the federal govern
ment was paid S10O0 by a firm of
reporters for the prtvlLexe of being
employed to take testimony; tho
agency receives Its transcription free,
the private citizens pay the freight.
