OlEifoQi P U S L I S IQ E RJS Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry In the First Congressional district of this commonwealth, the favorite sport of leading citi zens, seems to be eyeing a lower House vacancy in Washington, D. C, or being named athletic director of Willamette Univer sity. The coach aspirants have a slight edge. They are in no danger of being endorsed by the CIO, the public mind being what It is about strikes. e e e An East Oregonian boasts for the first time in 30 years, he has not hied forth to shoot a duck. His will power is some thing for the books, not to men tlon the firmness of his Missus e e e Russia has again slapped rigid censorship on American news dispatches. The reporters should cease walking off thoughtlessly with Premier Sta lin's lead pencils. e e e SAME HEREI (Salem Statesman) "Reading a bit of propagan da from an advertising agency plugging women's clothing: I sea 'the young girl Is a wee bit tired of dressing In man nish clothes and now she's go ing In for eya appeal de luxe,' and just then I look up and se two of what the announcer for the perfumed soap would, In a couple of years call 'mar rying debs.' They are pretty girls, but garbed In rolled up Jeans, shirts with tails out, huge fluffy bunny mittens and pigtails." (Maxlne Buren) e e a Chances for peace In Palestine are fading, and prospects for riots in Jerusalem on Christmas Day are bright, the news says, e e e Dispensers of the state have been warned by the liquor con trol board, the state is on the verge of prohibition, the well known "noble experiment" of the 1920s. It Is suggested, the taverns close Sundays, as a pan acea. Another sctiool of thought holds sundown Saturday would be more effective. The wild driv ing and loud yelling flourishes on Saturday nights. e e The Allied powers, with Un cle Sam furnishing the beans and the spondulicks will back the economic recovery of Ger many, for a two-year period, it is feared the late enemy, and a mean one, unless help Is render ed will be "reduced to a nation of foresters and goat-herds." This ia a kinder fate than the Nazis had in mind for the rest of the world. e . . Editorially discussing reports of signs and whisperings of a spiritual revival throughout the world, tlie need of which is not denied, to slow down the fever ish chasing of the dollar and the dime, tho Hutchinson (Kan.) News and Herald, pertinently and accurately remarks: "We don't read all the church journals, so we can't quile see it that way. We definitely didn't sec it all last week in Reno coun ty district court, where two modern Marys a day shrugged off a coat and a husband at the same time; we didn't see it tn the news dispatches from Gen eral Motors, where the conflict ing parties seemed to take glee ful delight in torturing each other; we didn't see it in the faces of the returned service men, who looked with resentful wonder at the waste and intol erance and narrowness of the country they've returned to. The whisperings have been faint in the social life around us." The Sequoia trees found In California, the largest plants on earth, sometimes reach a height of more than 400 IccL British Opposition to United States Strange Phase in UNO Site Dispute By Louis 1". Komls United Press Staff Correspondent There Is more than meets the eye In the dispute over whether the permanent seat of the United Nations organization shall be In the United States or Europe. Superficially, the question of a site appears minor In contrast to graver issues confronting the UNO, and the difficulty in agree ing on it looks like much ado about nothing. The United Nations is a world-wide coalition and In theory could function as success fully In San Francisco, Tisnbuctoo or at the North Pole. BRITAIN AND RUSSIA OPPOSED ON ISSUE Actually, it has become a Big Three issue, with Britain and Russia on opposite sides of the fence and the United States dele gation trying to be coyly neutral. Great Britain opposes making the United States the home of the UNO. Russia favors It. Most of the smaller nations are divided in accordance with their affiliation with members of the Big Three, Poland supports a European site as against the Russian stand, and Australia favors the United Slates against the mother country's wishes. It seems odd that Britain, despite her desire to continue the Anglo-American war alliance, should be siding against the United States while Russia takes the opposite view. It may be that the Russians find some grim humor in the situation. BRITAIN MAY FEAR INTERNATIONAL PRESTIGE Britain evidently fears her international prestige will suffer if the center of political gravity is shifted from Europe. That would not matter so much In western Europe as In the east, among the countries lying on the imperial life-line to the Orient. British fears are governed morn by that consideration than by any reluctunce to seo the United States take the spotlight. Russia would prefer a "world capital" outside Kurope, mainly because of her suspicion of a possible western European bloc against the Soviet Union and its established sphere of influence in the east. Russia would welcome any lessening of British in fluence In Europe, as long as it passes by proxy to the more remote United States. FRANCE FEARS UPSET OF BIG FIVE BALANCE Russia's position was stated by her delegate to the London preparatory conference, Andrei A. Gromyko. He said the argu ment for a European site was based in part on the argument that future problems would be mainly European, whereas only time would tell about that. Selection of a European site, he said, would make the UNO a regional orfanization instead nf nni. versal one. France opposed selection of the United States as the UNO home, on the ground that placing it In any one of the great powers would tend to "upset the balance" among the Big Five. The chief argument advanced for the United Slates i. thai the American people have not been fully wooed away from iso lationism. It has been suggested that Americans will take a greater interest in world organization, and feel more Inclined to support it if the headquarters of the new League of Nations i nnt in some far off country.

Swinburne A Chlcagoan says If ho has an early morning argument with his wife it makes his whiskers stiffen and consequently diffl cult to shave. He wants to know if any other husband has had a similar experience. He can't find out from me. If I feel like arguing In early morn ing I take a cold shower to cool off.

Asking Queries from clients: Q. Why shouldn't sidewalk traffic be regulated the same as highway traffic. That Is the "keep to the right" Idea with a white line In the center of the sidewalk. A. It Is not practical because no matter which way pedestrians are going many want to keep to the inside lane so they can look In shop windows. Q. Where do you get the Idea there are more men than women In San Fran cisco? It doesn't seem that way to me. A. According to the most recent census there are about 35.000 more men than women In San Francisco actual figures 431,579 males; 3II5.H21 females. Hones & Women A Chlcagoan wants to know what our horses and women de partment thinks of a widow who married again but keeps a large photograph of her first husband on a dressing table in the bedroom she shares with her second husband. Our 11 & W experts stay that photographs of first husbands should be kept from view of second husbands. They say a wife who dearly loved her first husband should j keep his picture in her heart j and the photograph of her see-1 ond husband on the dresser. I The matter of first husbands j and first wives is one which re-1 quires considerable Intelligent lne senators are saying we handling by those who haveieould have taken title to the married twice. I have Instruct ed our H & W department to do research as to the best me thods of handling such situa tions. Ideal Woman According to sculptors the measurements of the Ideal wo man are as follows: Her figure is 7V4 times the length of her head. Her neck Is one-third the length of her head. Her shoulders three times as wide as her head. Her waistline comes at slightly less than two thirds the height of her figure from the ground. Her hips are the width of an arm wider than her bust. Check your wife as to these measurements. If she can match them you may have the winner of the 1948 Mrs. America bathing beauty con test. Sidelight! Hollywoodlans are generally supposed to be very conceited yet Bette Davis recently said: "The fact Is, I have about as much sex appeal as a pelican." And Victor Mature once observ ed: "If you take a good look at me I'm repulsive". Canine Longevity Of the dogs most likely to live to a ripe old age wire-hair ed terriers top the list. Many people have wlre-halreds 18 years old. I know a fellow who had one which lived to be 25. Average dog lives about 14 years. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Dec. 12 The de fense of the British loan deal is Hint there are only three things which can be done with the British: A Prop them up: B -Let them fall.

At tills writing. a delayed acceptance of the plan, j without material amciHlinent. seems likclv. IN its details, the arrangement : Is indefensible. A careful i reading of the agreements will show that upon practically ev ery agreed point, the British have contrived an escape clause or phrase In short, an out. in the mutter of interest pay- menti, for example, these will be waived unless British trade averages more than in 1936-38 for five proceeding years. Also the British are to try to do some thing about the sterling discrim ination pool against the dollar, but will only "makes every en deavor" to do so. They agree to "relax," not stop. Again, they agree to discuss a new, de luxe, super Bretton Woods arrangement to create a world trading and monetary system; they agree to work with us for this "international trade organization" at a world con ference next year. But there nothing definite is provided be yond the "discussion" stage. Again they promise to pay perhaps $750,000,000 In settle ment of the "lend-lease" (how ironical those two words sound now) but only $50,000,000 is to be cash within five years, and we will not take this money, but will use it to build educa tional or other Institutions in , the British empire. There is hardly a line In this agreement which is not hedged thus with a legal escape. F.'n " te,lhT' XoVX . .7 , 7 Pij,uuu,uuu,uuu oi lena-iease we are cancelling off thus giv ing them title to remaining planes, guns, trucks, typewrit ers and what not, without try-i ing to get the materials back ! for scrap or use. (Army claims we already have more than we j can sell or use in surplus prop- j erty, but they are thinking of. peace, not yet restored.) The best objective world fi nance authorities tell me the British carefully carved their excuses in advance, because they cannot expect to reDav this "loan" any more than they could pay our war advances'. given away under "lend-lease." They have no raw materials on their island except coal. They cannot produce without raw materials, and they cannot pay for the material except by production. With their prospects ther njr,M ,,,, j;tt;..u.. ..; anyone to say their amortization j plan for this "loan" is aouDd. ' They can win a respite agamst j t fate with our money, but their I j ! 55-year future does not Jurufy i the deal financially. j wht could we do? The i Byrnes people are already sskirig the senators in private, i equipment we have given them and used it for storage against the future or scrap; we could have taken payment in materi als of whichour own stock piles are low; wecould have acquired territories needed for raw ma terials, andWor civilian and mil itary world fair bases. In short, we could have reach ed a fair and good business set tlement "in iklnd," and closed the books on this endless dump ing of the product of our toll into Britain these last 30 years. We could have reached a final settlement. As It is, we have left the books open, to furnish more money when this "loan" is gone and cannot be repaid money which really represents the sweat of our workmen, because our treasury has no "money" except as it drains that source. We could wisely have pre pared ourselves with territory, stock piles and power for a new barter world of trade (which is coming as surely as borrowed international money Is never re paid). We could have won the peace with this deal. The Byrnes people come back and say: We have thrown $250,000, 000,000 Into this war, without taking anything but world's headaches. What Is $3,750,000, 000 more? The deal Is done now. Take It or leave It. As I say, I think congress may take it, but not enthusiastically.

Re ceived Pec. 11, and given below, Is the answer. "Your request for an explana tion of the omission of the town of Medford, Oregon, in my limp i of November 19, has been re- ceived. "In the making of newspaper maps the first consideration is to graphically explain the story at hand. "The composition of a map consists of getting tne place names mentioned in the story on paper first, the remaining names are put in merely for balance of the map as a whole. "In this particular map In which Medford was omitted, I did not realize that this town was larger than Ashland. The map I used as a base had Ash land and many other surround ing towns printed in the same type. Time does not warrant my looking up the population of each town. "The next time I have a map of the Northwest Medford will surely have a prominent place. "As to the name Lookout, our stories indicated that there will be a flood control and power dam built at this point costing $20,000,000.

Cox has given 4.000 people the i surprise of their lives. He's pre- sented them with a total of more . "n $5,000,000 and it hasn't him cent- A probate genealogist, Cox hs been finding missing heirs for the past 32 years. He's : "hd as far as Syria and Greece to settle estates with values ranging from $5,000 to 5.2.OM.OO0. "Most of them can't believe It when they learn they are heirs." Cox said in an interview. "In fact, most of them don't even know the relatives who left the money." Sometimes Cox gets the sur prise of his life, too, when an heir refuses to take an inheri tance. Some Refute Bequests "It's hard to believe, but once in a while you find someone who would rather make his own fortune," said Cox, who c al Is himself the Henry Ford of heir hunters. "Obviously that doesn't hap pen very often." Once, however, he spent many months finding the wife of a prison guard to give her $25, 000. When he found her. the woman's husband wouldn't let her take the money. He'd been around criminals so long, he thought the whole thing was a hoax. "I got so angry I decided to prove to him that it was a bona fide offer," Cox said. "So I bought the woman's claim to the estate for a mere $500." Cox said that was considcr .i)!y more than he would have received for his trouble. The usual procedure, he explained. Is for him to charge each heir a fee for making him an heir. Many Missing Heirs Cox said that there are thou sands of missing heirs, largely because people don't make wills or make them out Incorrectly. "Not only are the heirs miss ing, but their names are miss ing, too," he added. "First we find out who's missing and then we locate them. "Sometimes they lead nis a merry chase, but we find most of them." He added that some of the deceased were "purely uninten tional" benefactors. "I'll bet some of them turn over In their graves when we find their unfavorite relatives," he said. Daily Weather Report FORECASTS Medford and vicinity; Clear and cool tonight and Thursday.

FIRST FEDERAL Savings It Loan Aug. of Medford 27 North Holly Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ol Congress From Oregon IMMEDIATELY following the end of the Labor-Management Conference here, which was in session almost four weeks, Presi dent Truman sent a message to Congress, outlining steps which he believes the government should take toward ending In dustrial strife. His message touched off a barrage of opposi tion. Apparently all branches of all labor organizations disap proved the ideas for legislation expressed by the President. Nevertheless, It seems to me that Congress, which Is, on the whole, more responsive to total public opinion than it is to labor alone, may very likely pass a bill embodying President Tru man's suggestions. As this is written, there Is pending before the House a bill which is in effect a modification of the Smith-Connally act. This bill is considered far more res trictive, so far as labor is con cerned, than the bill based on the President's message. The present effort on the part of the House leadership seems to be to get the President's proposal be fore the House first. e e e THE LABOR-MANAGEMENT ! Conference is generally referred : to as having failed. Actually,! this conference, which was the! first of its kind ever held, made; some worthwhile, although un spectacular, progress. In the several weeks of its sessions, the few points on which agreement could be reached were discover ed. Furthermore, a list of points on which no agreement can be reached was determined. This crystalization of the viewpoints of both labor and management will undoubtedly be of value in the future. a CONSIDERABLE publicity has been given to a statement which I and 38 other Republi can Members of the House of Representatives signed and re leased to the press recently. The interpretation of this statement by many editorial writers and radio commentators was not what we expected. They seemed to view our very clear state ment as an indication of a break in the ranks of Republican Mem bers, or, as some of them put it, a rift in the Party. We thought the first paragraph of the state ment was fully explanatory. It reads as follows: "Some press and radio com ments have attributed to the Republican Party certain positions on current contro versial issues. These comments are based upon views express ed by individual members. Every member of congress has a right and duty to express himself with entire freedom. Such expressions, however, do not bind his party." The statement was read and approved by party leaders in the House, and I am sure noth ing in.it could be objected to by any Republican member. Wc merely stated that two matters now receiving the attention of Congress, namely, the Pearl Harbor investigation and the question of peace-time military training, are not partisan mat ters; we do not view them in a partisan light, and object to having them reported in the press and on the radio in a partisan light. I shall be glad to send a com plete copy of the above men tioned statement to anyone who would like to have it. e e a THE UNITED STATES Coast Guard has a very splendid train ing academy.
