Sen. Downey Charges
Bias And Prejudice
Washington, Feb. 2 (U.R
Sen. Sheridan Downey (D., Cal.)
has accused Rep. Helen Gahagan
Douglas (D., Cal.) of "conduct
ing a campaign of personal bias
and prejudice" in her race to
capture his senate seat.
His charge was prompted by
Mrs. Douglas request that Dow
ney outline his views on new
pension proposals by George
McClain, California pension
leader. i
Downey said in a telegram to
Mrs. Douglas that he is unable
to answer her request because it
was "so garbled, ambiguous and
incomprehensible."
He challenged her to debate
pensions with him publicly.
He said that after months of
campaigning it seemed to him
that "you chose to indulge in a
campaign of personal bias and
prejudice rather than a broad
and objective discussion."

'Human Seal' To
Appear At YMCA
Friday, Saturday
The world's champion under
water swimmer will. appear at
the Medford YMCA for five
demonstrations Friday 'and Sat
urday, it was announced by 'V
officials today.
He is (Jealo (Human seal) Mo
hawk, who is sprightly 72
years of age and who gave a
sneak preview of his feats to 'Y'
members here last night. Among
his accomplishments are the
world's record for staying under
water for 5 minutes 12 seconds
and for distance underwater
swimming. His distance record
is 7,113 feet, done in 24 minutes
and 10 seconds, in 140-foot laps.
His record for the underwater
mile is 17:17, compared to the
previous record of 23:53,
Rtal Value
Aside from these feats, of
which he is modestly proud, Mo
hawk feels that his demonstra
tions have a real and practical
value for novice swimmers. He
is an accomplished floater and
can float In any position. "Any
one can learn to float," he said,
"and it's important for safety
that everyone knows how."
He also features a variety of
underwater maneuvers, which
he describes as turning, darting
and rolling all performed with
the aid only of his arms and his
hands. He doesn't use his legs,
he says, accounting for his nick
name, The Human Seal.
Underwater speed swimming
is not a recognized competition,
he says, and rightly so, for it is
too dangerous for ordinary per
formance. Water pressures for
extended periods can cause con
siderable damage, he empha
sized. But his demonstrations
have extended over a 50-year
period and he says he has suf
ficient experience and control to
eliminate most of the wrost haz
ards. He will appear at the 'Y' pool
for demonstrations at 10:30 a. m.
and at 3 and 8:30 p. m. Friday,
the last appearance in connec
tion with family night, and at
10:30 a. m. and 3 p. m. Saturday.
At the Friday night perform
ance he will be assisted by Bill
Tavlor, 'Y' diving instructor, who
will spell him with exhibitions
of diving.
