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.
Morses Prestige Grows

with considerable time spent along the Atlantic sea
Knaivl wo can snv "without fear of contradiction"
fv.af thn fnllntvino- lnttpr. dinned from the Ore-
Igonian, is representative of widespread opinion in the
kast.
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.

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.
