By Frederick C. Othman
(United Press Correspondent)
Washington, July 13 (U.R
It was ladies' day at the sena
torial hearing on peace; yep, it
took two cops to quell the fray.
"Keep your dirty hands off of
me," screamed Mrs. Agnes Wat
ers at the blue cents, while

banged his silver-bound gavel
and shouted: "I'll see if I can't
n.ake as much noise as you do."
Peace. It must be wonderful.
: Everybody Sor. .
. In the senate . caucus room
nearly everybody was sore at
everybody else. The plumpish,
blondish Mrs. Waters tangled
with the police because she
wouldn't stop when her time was
up. She subsided finally after
looking the red-faced Connally
In the eye and shrilling: "I'm not
afraid of all the devils in hell."
Came then a parade of ladles
of indefinite ages, who peered
at the senators through their
lorgnettes, pine nez and horn
rims and announced with appro
priate table-pounding that the
San Francisco charter was a
phoney. There were some men,
too, but let's be gallant and con
sider next the testimony of Mrs.
Florence H. Griesel, a Chicago
blond with blue car bangles
matching the gleam in her eye.
She told Sen. Joseph F. Guf
fey of Pennsylvania that she
couldn't speak if he persisted in
whispering. That quieted him;
Mrs. Griesel took a deep breath
and a long look at the commit
tee. Then she said:
"I can remember when it was
a thrill to be an American.
Shame on you senators. Look
what you've done; Why didn't
you work to keep' this country
COTTON CHECK WASHABLE
Gay checks handled demurely,
the sweetly squared neck is bor
dered with exquisite embroidery
that ties into a winsome bow. And
the short sleeves have a deep band
of the same delicate embroidery.
The cylinder-slim skirt, softly flared,
completes the lovely silhouette.
Back to you: artfully darted at the
neckline for sleek fit. Dime-size
pearly buttons cast their lovely
glow three quarters the way down
the dress. Coming or going, you'll
rate admiring glances in this sum
mer enchantress. In marvelous
color combinations. Sizes 10 to 18.

out of war? If you men who
voted for a war had to fight it,
there'd be an armistice."
Will Run For Congress
The senators sat there silently.
Mrs. Griesel said it was time
they were replaced; she said she
intended to run for congress her
self. "Thank you very much," said
Connally. Things went on from
there with ladies of all sizes de
nouncing the peace charter, the
senate, communists, Great Brit
ain and probably some other
things I don't remember.
Connally, who never knew
what was up when he set aside
a day for opponents of the
charter, called a new one every
15 minutes and eventually reach
ed Mrs. H. V. Somers of Phila-;
delphia, who said she represent
ed, herself, the government and
the American people.
, "That's a very good represen
tation." Connally commented,
while Mrs. Somers shuffled her
notes and had such trouble de
ciphering her own writing that
the microphone boomed ner
words:
"Oh. darn It."
She said, when the laughter
subsided, that the charter was a
scheme to return America to the
British and she cried: "Gentle
men, please do not be just plain
dupes.
Culbertson Too
"Please, Mrs. Somers," the
chairman interrupted. "Talk in-
to the microphone. Some of the
senators do not hear well.
And so on, from 10 a. m. yes
terday until 5:30 p. m., and I
better get in a mention now of
the men, including Ely Culbert
son, the bridge playing expert,
and David Darrin, president (and
only member) of the United Na
tions of Earth association.
Culbertson said in a thick Rus
sian accent that the peace as
sembly would consist of mice.
presided over by a few cats,
Darrin, a tall, spare Washing-
tonian, said his private United
Nations consisted of himself, but
that he would get some more
members later. He said he
would leave for the Record, if
Connally promised to print it,
the book he'd spent the last 20
years writing. Connally wouldn't
promise.
"Then I won't leave it," Dar
rin snapped.
He didn't, either. As for me,
I'm all worn out; its wearying
listening to angry people battle
about peace.
DANIEL WALLAND
DIES OF WOUNDS
AT PACIFIC BASE
Wounded on March 27 in a
B-24 raid over Okinawa before
occupation of the island by
American fp-:es, Daniel Bertel
Walland, 19, naval aviation
radioman third class, died In a
hospital on Guam June 16, ac
cording to information received
here by his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Theodore Bertel Walland,
Route 2, box 205.
Details of his death reached
Mr. and Mrs. Walland yesterday,
after earlier notification of the
navy man's wounds and brief
word of his death. At the time
of the raid, a softening-up
operation over the Jap-held
island, Walland was stationed in
the Mariana islands. Returned
to his base in the plane, the
wounded radioman was evacuat
ed to Tinian Island and then to
the hospital on Guam.

Medford high school with the

service in November of that
year.
Besides his parents, Walland
is survived by a younger brother,

Washington, July 13 U.P.)
Naval airmen have destroyed
more than 17,000 Japanese
planes and, teaming with army
fliers, soon will eliminate the en
emy's air force "as an effective
weapon," Under - secretary of
Navy Artemus L. Gates said to
day. Gates, recently promoted from

reported to Secretary of Navy

"The first job of naval avia
tion, and of our army air forces,
is the elimination of the Japa
nese air force as an effective
weapon. This, I believe, will be
accomplished shortly.

ford" is Lt. Earl C. Wheelock,
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. O.

1939 and attended Southern Ore
gon College of Education in Ash

of Tommy Culbertson at Medford

now engaged in bombing of
Japanese war centers, has been
in the air corps since Dec. 29,
1941.
His wife, the former Shirley
Ebnother of Ashland, is now llv
ing in Glendale, Calif., with a
sister.
I. I
Richardson, head of the mid
Pacific command.
He was the tenth person to
receive the award, instituted by
Richardson to honor civilians
for their contributions to the
war effort in this theater.
Stanton Griffis was a resident
of Medford for several years be
ing manager of the F. Corning
Kenly ranch south of the city,
and after his marriage residing
on South Oakdale. He left for
New York about 30 years ago
where he has been very prom
inent in Wall Street circles and
for a time was president of Para
mount Pictures.

Ray Hale Promises
Mother Letter From
Tokyo Before Long
T5 Ray L. Hale promises his
mother a letter from Tokyo be
fore long "unless those slant
eyed playmates of ours throw in
the towel." Hale made the
promise in a recent letter to Mrs.
Stella Hale. 708 South Peach
street, written from Mindanao,
Philippine Islands.
Overseas since last September,
he has been on Leyte and Min
doro besides other Pacific
islands. He has been in the
service for the past year and a
half.
Mindanao is the coolest place
he has been in since leaving
United States, according to his
letter. The temperature has not
been below 75 degrees and it has
been necessary to sleep under
two blankets because of the
change in temperature from
other Islands where he has been,
Hale wrote.
He attended local schools and
was employed in Los Angeles at
the time of his Induction.
