To the editor: I wonder if Hitler knew, when he adopted the Swastika, that he was using an old Jewish religious emblem? I quote Web ster on the subject: "Swastika: an ancient Jewish religious symbol resembling a plus sign with each point mark ing a right angle made by an added short, straight line, the emblem of the Nazi party in Germany." Yours truly, Elwood Hussey, Cave Junction, Ore. Says "Home Building" Is Hurting Landlords To the editor: Part of your editorial of Thursday's Mail Tribune, stat ing that "home building in the U. S. increased 37" interests me very much and I want to comment on it. This increase is largely due to the fact that our national government is making home building loans to any Tom, Dick and Harry that can show that AT PRESENT they have jobs that pay a salary, otherwise ab solutely irresponsible. Anyone with a salary can get a home by this method, that is way be yond their means to maintain. Then they can get the full equipment to furnish that home on the "dollar down and a dol lar when you can catch me" plan. This works fine as long as the salary holds up, but let any thing happen and "pouf," away 'GUARANTEED OU UKI IT OR YOUR nMr Me FULLY MATURED OID IN CHARRED OAKIN CASKS NEEDS NO CHASER T' SO EXTRA MILD EXTRA RICH BECAUSE ITS All WHISKEY :es will be refunded! 80 FULL PINT Bull," Slraifhl B YH-l 'goes the whole cheese, about i every eleven out of ten of these eventually lose it all.

Morrison's "convict parade" on broad Canal street last night blocked downtown traffic for two hours and drew a Mardi Gras-like crowd of 100.000. The greatest political throng in the history of Louisiana, jam med from store front to store front, chuckled, cheered and Euffawed as it saw its leadine state politicians caricatured in convict stripes. Morrison, 31-year-old Ham mond attorney, is one of four "reform" candidates trying to smash the old regime of the late Huey P. Long in the Democratic primary next Tuesday. Seeking to continue the administration power is Governor Earl K. Long, brother of Huey. Many of the top lieutenants of the Long organization have been indicted in the federal and state scandal investigations, in cluding former Governor Rich ard W.

Hoi Race Foreseen If Coleman forsakes the of fice of assessor in an attempt to become county judge, the contest is likely to develop into the hottest race in the county. Earl B. Day is the encumbent and there is talk that Commis sioner Ralph Billings, also a Re publican, is flirting with the idea of running in the primary for the judgeship nomination. I. E. Schuler announced def initely today he would be a Democratic candidate in the primary for county judge. For the state legislature the Democratic high com mand at the moment is depend ing upon Moore Hamilton, news paper editor, and Harold H. Brown, real estate and insur ance agent, to carry the banner, Schuler and Brown are noviti ates so far as running for pub lic office is concerned. Hamil ton, on the other hand, is a veteran and considered a good campaigner. He has served a term in the lower house but was defeated for the senate in 1938 by George Dunn of Ashland. Dunn has held he office so. long, how ever, ho was looked upon as a sort of permanent fixture in the senate and so Hamilton's defeat was not view ed as a serious set-back under the circumstances. Mr. Schuler, resident of Med ford since 1920 and a Democrat since his first registration, has had much experience in dealing with people of all walks of life. He served on the Medford city budget committee under Mayor E. M. Wilson, has been identi tied with the business develop- SOAP VALUES OXYDOL, LARGE P&G GIANT BARS 0 K SOAP GIANT CRYSTAL WHITE MEDIUM IVORY GIANT IVORY . PEET'S GRANULATED . . 24c MT.

Taught Here For a year after coming here in 1920, Mr. Schuler taught his tory and debate in the Medford high school. Prior to that he was professor of history at Hamlin university, St. Paul. He holds a master's degree from the Uni versity of Minnesota. Also mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate for coun ty judge was Mayor T. S. Wiley of Ashland. Stumbling block to Mayor Wiley at the moment was said to be his resignation as a Republican. It was reported he came to Medford this week to change his registration but in stead changed his mind. Sweeney Candidate County Treasurer Ralph E. Sweeney stated definitely yes terday he would be a candidate again this year. A Democrat, Sweeney was elected to his first office in 1936. Kenneth G. Denman, young Medford attorney, has been mentioned as a possible Repub lican candidate for district at torney. Another young Repub lican barrister considered by many to be ideal for the job of district attorney is Frank J. VanDyke of Ashland but friends say he is not interested. Care- ful observers believe Van Dyke could go far in public life it he wanted to make the effort and did not listen to poor advice while on the way up. Dems Have Dark Hone The Democrats arc supposed to have a dark horse in tow to run for county clerk. Republi can Clerk George R. Carter, a hard man to beat, has already announced his intention to run again. Ray Schumacher, Medford grocery store owner, is expected to file on the Democratic ticket for county assessor. He is re spected as an alert campaigner who has many friends in prac tically all circles despite his pri mary defeat by Sweeney in the race for the treasury nomination in 1936. Democrats hold Sween ey to be unbeatable and be cause of his strong victory in 1936 he is projected as the party's anchor man on this year's county ticket.

McAllister has served two terms and there is a general feeling he can get the speakership if he returns. In order to cinch McAllister's victory and thus assure him the speakership post, according to rumblings in the political sub stratosphere, the Republicans are anxious to eliminate all op position. In order to attain this end, Republicans would have to get the Democrats to endorse McAllister or to let the post go by default. And to get to that point in political collusion, there would have to be a lot of horse trading. At any rate perennial office seekers still have a lot of time to decide on what Jobs they want to run for. The primary election does not come off until May 17 and candidates have until April 1 to file their in tentions. April 1, be it remem bered, is still April Fool's day. it PAY LESS and PARK EASIER" HOME OF BATTLE CREEK HEALTH POODS Open Till 10 P. M.
