IS pja Come, Come Mr. Ferguson! We trust there is enough' sense left in the Pearl TiorVinf PnnoTPssinnal committee to defeat Senator Ferguson's motion to call lormer premier wmsion Churchill as a witness. Tha nnlv mntivf hpVind his reauest is a com bination of cheap publicity-seeking, and cheaper politics. Calling such a world famous man would put the Michigan Senator and his committee back on Page I again. Tne ensuing testimony, nowever, wouiu ue nnthi'no- Ipss than a veiled effort to revert to the time honored practice of twisting the lion's tail, to build up the absurd liction that tne lormer untisn rnrae Minister influenced President Roosevelt to bring this country into the war against GeYmany. MR. CHURCHILL is no longer head of the British government and he has come to this country for a greatly needed vacation and rest. He should be accorded same, and nothing save a rliVa ompro-pnrv in wh ioh Mr. Churchill's testimony would be absolutely essential, could justify request ing him to armear as a witness in any domestic hear ing or American court. The motion should be defeated ana benator r er- guson rebuked. There is some chance of the first, little of the second. R.W.R.

We quote : . . To the Editor: By what I am about to write it may be that I will be adjudged a political follower of Senator Morse with an ax to griild. Let me hasten to say that I am an ex-soldier recently dis charged, and hailing from Massachusetts. I had never heard of Senator Morse until I came to Westfir, Ore. I have never seen the senator. As an Oregonian I am three months old. Yet, by the stand he has taken on the live Issues of the day, by his awareness of the real issues and by the lucid words that clarify these Issues, Senator Morse. In my mind, is be ginning to show a stature that can-be described with the word "statesman." I believe that Senator Morse, not alone In his views, Is con spicuous by his clearness and cold persistency that allows no deviation from the relevant matters, so conspicuous, In fact, that he is rapidly becoming a leading figure. The reason for this letter Is a fear that few Oregonians realize that a mind and personality, capable of a presidential future, is representing them. For heaven's sake let's advertise Senator Morse as we do Douglas fir. If I sound overboard for this man please remember that we In Massachusetts considered Saltonstall a presidential possi bility until Morso came along. LEWIS POLANSKY, Westfir, Ore. As has often been remarked A man is not with out honor save in his own bailiwick! R.W.R. A "Big" Man Speaking of "big men" this department without hesitation would name Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk of Czechoslovakia. He is not only big physically, but spiritually and mentally, as well as being a person of "infinite charm. He was a stand-out at the UNO confer ence in San Francisco last summer, and will un doubtedly be equally distinguished and energetic at the present London session. It is quite in character that he should favor UNO control of world armaments including all atomic weapons, and pledge his country to see that not one drop of the basic atomic material, uranium, found in his country ever be used for war. a a a a IF there were only more men of his stamp and stature among the delegates at this initial session the suc cess of the outcome would be certain. But there are precious few, unfortunately, and none on the American delegation. The one hone, therefore, is that these few by exer- cisinc their outstanding capacities of leadership and superior mental and moral qualities, will be able to make up in effectiveness what they lack in numbers. If they fail in this we fear the days of usefulness of the United Nations Organization will be numbered. R.W.R. Him iiitNiMWMiHiti imiHmii imiimmm Htm mmmnintmi On The Side-By e. v.

Thomas Caraw, Dispatch reports a bus driver trying to avoid running Into a do,! crossing the street caused an accident that resulted in the injury of 13 people. A couple of years ago I read of a man who. when trying to avoid running over a dog. ran his car up on the sidewalk and killed a man. How can dogs be trained not to cross streets in Jaywalker style? Just because people can't be trained not to do that let us not be discouraged about teaching it to dogs. I think It can be done.

Wolves A Chicago girl says the worst "wolves" among men are those who smoke pipes. She also claims the average stenographer or secretary is rarely inclined to make advances, subtle or other wise, to her boss. The worst "she wolves" in an office says this young woman, are female executives or those women who aspire to be executives. These career women, she says, stop at practically nothing to secure a better Job or a higher salary. These Interesting claims are be ing checked by our Horses & Women experts who will report in an early issue. Asking Queries from Clients: Q. What is a sing-song girl? A. It is a Chinese entertainer similar to the geisha girls of Japan. Q. Say I somebody gives you a puppy when it is three weeks old. Five years later you take the puppy to visit his father. Will the pup py know his sire and vice ver sa? A. I couldn't say. As a mat ter of fact we were given our dog when he was a puppy. About four years later we took him to see his sire, the old champion himself. There was no evidence of recognition. The dogs prac tically ignored each other. Q. Didn't you say that according to Michigan law a husband in that state owns his wife's clothes and can sell them if he wishes? I live in Detroit and with money saved from my own earnings have bought a mink coat. ' A. You had better see a lawyer. I know that in South Carolina the wife's clothes belong to the hus band. Am not certain about Michigan. Please Note The sports arena which had the greatest seating capacity of all time was the Circus Maximus in Rome, which accommodated 260,000 fans. Chariot racing was the chief sport there. They had bookmakers and parley even in those ancient days but no daily double or mutuels. On the cur tain of the qjd Montauk theatre, Brooklyn, was a copy of a fa mous painting showing the char lots rounding the turn in Circus Maximus. Horses ft Women In "Frontier Gal" Yvonne De Carlo is spanked by Rod Cam eron. The Hoilywoodians have been Inserting this type of scene in films for years and keep right o doing so. It is reported to be highly interesting and amusing to the feminine clientele. How ever, strongly advise that no husband among our subscribers assume this type of treatment is entirely approved of by wives. I know of a man in San Francis co who, acting on such assump tion, tried to spank his mate. The result was he got a black eye, had some hair pulled out and his face all scratched up. Furthermore, his wife shortly after, sued for divorce, using the aforementioned incident as evi dence and was awarded high ali mony and all the community property. Stogie Department A San Franciscan, claiming an experience of 58 years around race tracks, questioned my state ment that George Ock n, now a trainer, once rode the great mare Imp. He said Odom wasn't rid ing when Imp was racing. So I checked on it. Odom has in formed me he rode Imp in sev eral races. It is also in the rec ords. I wait the arrival of the usual stogie. Let me take this occasion to once more warn sub scribers not to rashly wager stogies with this department. You can see for yourself what chance you have to win when a man with 58 years experience around racetracks loses a stogie to us or. a turf question. Flight o' Time Medford and Jackson Co.
