German Exchange Student Sees Good Chance For Democracy Establishment There is a good chance that ripmnrracv will become Iirmiy established in the new West German republic if the present economic level can be maintain' ed and recovery progress con tinues. This opinion was express ed at the Tuesday luncheon meet ing of the Medford Rotary club hv Harold Steiler. German ex change student now attending Southern Oregon college. Speaking at the Hotel Jackson, Steiler, whose home is in Neurn bere. warned that a serious re cession could impel the Germans to seek a "strong man, alinougn more and more of his country men are beginning to realize that another Hitler-type leader could not improve their lot. Enmities Vanishing Economic and political pres sures developing out of the east west rivalry are gradually ban ishing traditional enmities be tween the French and Germans and encouraging greater cooper ation and tolerance between European nations, the speaker told Rotarians. Most thinking Germans also want continued military occupation because their police force is insufficient to cope with the infiltration of Rus sians certain to follow departure of allied forces. Those who publicize the few conspicuous differences between the Germans and their conquer ors at this time are giving the impression that Germans gen erally are not grateful for ef forts to re-establish German economic and political recovery, Steiler said. "I am convinced that most Germans are sincerely grateful for the generous and effective recovery program of the United States and their allies," Steiler pmnhasizeri. "A lone-ranae ef fort to establish firmlv a feeling of tolerance and understanding between mv people and the west ern world must be made. The ex change student program is an important step in tnis direction, he added. The German student discussed some of the specific problems now facing the German people Although the currency reform cf June, 1948, and a new credit policy initiated late last year have speeded recovery, there is still need for the German econ omy to convert from a raw ma terial export basis to a finlsnca RE-WEAVING TEARS - BURNS MOTH DAMAGES, Etc.

Steiler expressed deep grati tude (or the opportunity afford ed by the excliange student pro gram and told his audience that Rotary international is the only service organization to establish itself successfully in pre-war Germany. H. L. Brown, who has served aspresident of the club for more than a half year, announced his resignation at Tuesday's meeting due to the fact that he is leaving Medford for California. He will be succeeded by James Dunlevy, vice-president. L. C. Taylor, past president of the Medford Rotary club, presented a past-president's pin to Brown and expressed the gratitude of members for his highly successful administration. Human Ability To Eat Poison Probed Washington, Jan. 18 U.R How much insect poison can a person eat safely? lne food and drug administra tion opened a public hearing on that question today. It is the first step in the agency's plan to set up regula tions banning the inter-state shipments of fruits and vege tables containing more than a "safe" residue of poisonous in secticides. The .move stems from vide- spread use of DDT and other new chemicals by farmers. In many cases, the insecticide is allowed to remain on the prdduce after it is marketed. There are no regulations cov ering this now. The agency can prohibit the shipment across state lines of any food in which the poison content is dangerous ly high. The trouble with this, a spokesman said, is that the "danger" level varies according to how much poison a consumer gets from other foods.

Jan. 18 (U.R) General Motors Corp. earned more profits last year over $600,000,000 than any other company ever made in a similar period, Alfred P. Sloan Jr., chairman of the board, revealed today. Addressing 500 leaders in in dustry, finance and civic affairs at a "forward from fifty" lun cheon,' preliminary to his com pany's annual auto show the "Mid-Century Motorama" open ing Thursday, Sloan termed 1949 a "satisfactory',' year for the in dustry and for General Motors. $13 Per Share Last years profits, he stated, are likely to move up to over $600,000,000." Such a .figure is well over $13 per share on out standing common stock, on which 1949 dividends totaled $8 per share. In 1948, net income amounted to $440,447,724, or $9.72 a common share: while common dividends that year ag gregated $4.50. If we compare 1B49 with 1936," Sloan said, "we find that the return on capital employed rose only three percentage points. And to accomplish this we had to increase our sales in terms of 1949 dollars from $2,500,000,000 for 1936 to $5,500,000,000 in Armored Car Robbery Recalls Other Great Loots In Nation's History Chicago. Jan. 18 (U.R) The haul almost certainly was amone $1,500,000 holdup of Brink's Armored Car service in Boston may have yielded the greatest loot of cash in the nation's his tory, a check of FBI and police records showed today. The federal bureau of investi gation in Washington said the Substitute For Oleo Repeal Bill Killed Washington, Jan. 18 (U.t) The senate today killed a dairy stpte substitute for the admin istration bill to repeal federal taxes on oleomargarine. The vote was 48 to 37. The substitute would have repealed the taxes on oleo, but banned interstate shipment and sale of colored oleo. Way Cleared Defeat of the substitute ap parently cleared the way for passage later in the week of the bill to repeal all oleo taxes and permit unrestricted inter state shipment. It was a major victory for senate forces which have been pressing for repeal of the 64-year-old federal margarine taxes. Killed with the substitute were provisions to repeal war time excise tax rates. Taxes on furs, jewelry, admissions, tele graph and phone charges and other items would have been re duced by the defeated excise tax provisions. The administra tion plaas to seek a reduction in excise taxes in separate legis lation. Fable Rock Table Rock; Jan. 18 A county bridge crew is repairing the Camp White Military bridge to be used as a detour when work begins on the new span to re place Bybee bridge. Mr. Killbourn, our obliging mailman," says his mail route, which extends to Gold Hill and through the Sams Valley and Beagle districts, covers some sev enty miles, and since the present storm period commenced he has encountered some pretty tough going especially in the Sams Valley and Ramsey Canyon sections. According to George Carter, county clerk, voters in this dist rict living east of the section line will vote in the Mound precinct while those on the west side will vote in Sams Valley precinct. The section line running north and south crosses the road near where the observation post was situated during the war and very nearly- follows tne tine tence oe tween the Baker and Hamilton farms. Some residing west of the line are registered in section eleven and their names will appear on the Mound doII books unless they change their registrations.

"The only way the stockholders can gel weir proms, ne con tinued, "is through dividends Of this $1,100,000,000 the gov ernment 'take' in corporation and individual income taxes. based on 1949 profits, is esti mated to be over S600.000.000." In recent years, Sloan warned "economic incentive has been weakened bv . the ever-increas ing 'take' of government. I fear the effect is beginning to be felt on the economy, "No matter how great his ac complishment, the individual to day cannot hope to earn much more than enough to provide for his current needs and for a pen sion at retirement Prosperity Seen The responsibility and self-re liance oi tne individual, sioan said, "can be diluted bv the over- solicitude of a welfare state." Charles E. Wilson, president of GM, told the business leaders that "I expect 1950 to be a very prosperous year. "I see no reason, he added why the next 10 years should not also be increasingly Drosper- I ous " I the largest. Securities Included Police files list bank, mail train and armored truck holdups in which larger amounts were involved. But the loot in most of the big ."jobs" included siz able amounts of securities, and in many cases the valuables were non-negotiable. Major holdups in U. S. history included a $2,500,000 raid on the Lincoln, Neb., National Bank and Trust company in Septem ber, 1930; a $2,400,000 holdup of a mail truck on Broadway in New York in 1921; a daring $2, 050.000 raid on a fast mail train at Rondout, 111., in June, 1924; and a $2,000,000 safecracking Job at the Rumbold safety de posit vaults in Chicago in Janu ary, 1945. By comparison with big-time robberies since the turn of the century, Jesse James and his gang risked their lives for pea nuts. In his entire career of crime, authorities estimated James stole only a little more than $200,000. Three Convicted Five bandits held up the Lin coln bank in 1930. Covering the building with machine guns, they forced a woman cashier to open a vault and fled with their huge haul of cash and securities. Three bandits-pHoward Lee, Thomas O'Connor and Jack Britt later were caDturcd and convicted, and part of the loot was recovered. "Little Gerald" Chapman and two accomplices staged New York's "great mail robbery" of 1921. They crowded the mail truck to the curb, took four pouches of registered mail and sped away in a green touring car. The three later were caught. The Rondout. 111., mail train holdup was planned by James Murray, prominent political leader of , Chicago's "bloody 19th" ward in the prohibition era. Tipped by its "inside man," Postal Inspector William Fahy, the gang forced the Milwaukee road's fast mail to a halt at a rural crossing and assaulted bar ricaded mail cars with rifle fire and tear gas bombs. The gang fled in four automo biles filled with mail sacks, but nine men eventually were round ed up and eight, including Fahy and Murray, were sentenced to prison terms. Authorities recovered 1,247, 000 in loot and said most of the unrecovered securities were worthless. Safecrackers got $2,000,000 in securities, jewelry and cash, at the Rumbold vaults in Chicago on January 19, 1945, after tying up a 73-year-old watchman. Most of the $110,000 cash and other valuables were found when Gang Leaders Patsy Flaherty and Willie Niemoth were cap tured and handed life prison terms.

Dr. A. L. Goldwater said he left the morphine doses handy at the bedside of certain patients many times in "my 53 years of practice." The elderly doctor elaborated on statements which he made yesterday at the annual meeting of the Euthanasia Society of America in which he defended the action of Dr. Hermann N. Sander of Manchester, N. H., who has been indicted for miir. der in the mercy killing of a woman cancer patient. "I felt I was doing the humane thing," Goldwater said, mention ing specifically the case of a woman cancer patient which he said was "similar" to the case of Dr. Sander. If that be murder, make the most of it," Goldwater said at the meeting of the Euthanasia society.

Goldwater said that in treat ing incurable cases where the patient was near death he would leave a week's supply of mor phine tablets beside the patient's bed. He said he would tell the patient that "if you take one tab let it will reduce the pain, and two will put you to sleep, and if you take the whole bottle you won't wake up." "I had one patient, a woman, who was in agony" Goldwater said. "She required powerful in jections two or three times a day, administered by a nurse. But because the nurse wasn't handy at all times, I provided her with additional medicine." Goldwater said he returned to the patient's bedside one morn ing and found she "had passed away but I never determined whether she took the drugs or not because by the time I got there the nurse said all the medi cines had been thrown away." Goldwater said he made out a death certificate attributing death to the woman's cancerous condition." if r ... for the maytao automatic washir. Sea It and you'll be glad you did.
