Shady Cove Man
May Seek County
Commissioner Job
Shady Cove, Feb. 8 Senti
ment favoring representation for
the northern portion of the coun
ty on the county court became
crystallized today wim the an
nouncement by a group of
Shady Cove men that they had

out, and Commissioner L. G.
"Shy" Morthland is a former

undecided as to whether or not
he should become a candidate.

is a retired businessman, would
be able to devote full time to
the job, and has an interest in
the improvement arid systematic
maintenance of the county road
system.

the Rogue valley for about five
years, half of the time in Med

become a candidate would de
pend upon sentiment from voters
in Rogue River, Gold Hill.

Mrs. Grubb said she saw a

Special Assistant
Ambrose is a nephew by mar
riage of Sen. Joseph C. O'Ma
honey (D., Wyo.) and until last
month was special assistant to
Postmaster General Jesse M
Donaldson.
Donaldson told the United
Press last night that he de
manded and received Am
brose's resignation from the $10.-
000-a-year job on January 11. He
said he accepted it with preju
dice which is tantamount to re
moval."
Donaldson said that, at O'Ma
honey's insistence, Ambrose
came to him and made a clean
breast of the whole affair. Ac
cording to the postmaster gener
al, here s the way the scheme
worked:
Stamps Listed
Ambrose approached several
"speculators" Donaldson said
they are apparently gamblers
and showed them a catalogue
listing special commemorative
stamps at higher prices than
their actual value.
He told the "speculators" that,
if they put up the money, he
could buy the stamps and resell
them to recognized dealers at an
enormous profit. He mentioned
a 50 per cent profit, and said he
was to receive 29 per cent.
A few of the investors actual
ly received the profit promised.
But funds for the pay-off appar
ently came from "investments"
of some of the later speculators
and these wound up as neavy
losers in the deal.
Donaldson told newsmen that
Ambrose told him he worked the
scheme for the past year and a
half. But at no time, Donaldson
added, did it involve either the
use of post office- department
funds or the use of the mails to
defraud.

Seven Employees
Locked In Closets
01 Arizona Bank
Garbage Can Used
To Cart Away Loot
Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 8 (U.R)
Two men held up the bank of
Douglas today, locked up seven
employees and escaped with
$116,250 in cash they carried
away in a large, sheet-draped
garbage can.
The men casually carried the
can down the street through
work-bound pedestrians and es
caped in an automobile with Cal
ifornia license plates.
Janitor Overpowered '
Police reconstructing the crime
said the holdup men, one a Ne
gro and the other a Mexican,
forced their way into the bank
by overpowering a janitor when
he reported for work at 5:30 a.m.
They stayed in the bank, bind
ing other employees mid locking
them :n closets as they came to
work.
When the vault teller, James
Wise, entered the bank at 7:40
a.m., they forced him to open the
safe and hand over all the cur
rency. Thy locked Wise in the vault
before fleeing.
Garbage Can Used
Bank officials said the loot
included $3,000 in $50 and $100
bills. The rest was in denomina
tions from $1 to $20.
The bandits scooped it all into
a large garbage can to carry out.
Wise and other employees
were freed when fellow-workers
arrived for duty at about 8 a.m.,
minutes after the bandits mBde
their get-away.
Janitor Clinton Wade said the
men were standing on a street
corner nearby when he arrived.
"They came up and pulled a
gun. It looked like a .25 caliber
automatic. They poked it at me
and made me let them in with
me," he said.
Nothing Unusual
Wise, the vault teller, said he
noticed nothing out of the ordin
ary as he entered the bank and
walked down a main corridor
toward his station.
"A man came out of a door.
He was masked and wore gloves.
He had a pistol and said:
" 'I want that vault door op
ened fast and no funny business,'
"Another man was behind me
and he had a knife which I could
feel sticking me," Wise reported.
Wise said he opened the vault
and handed over all the avail
able small bills, as he was or
dered. It was just before 8 a.m. when
the bandits left and made their
way down the street through the
ranks of pedestrians bound for
their day's work.
Bridges Says Reds
Didn't Run Strike
San Francisco, Feb. 8 (U.R)
Harry bridges insisted at his perjury-conspiracy
trial today the
bloody 1934 West coast mariume
strike was led by the longshore
union and not directed by com
munists. The waterfront labor leader
who rose to power during the
protracted '34 strike, did not
deny in so many words that the
communist ran the walkout. But
he did, through his own testi
mony and a table-full of minutes
of union meetings, seek to show
that the union's strike strategy
committee planned the strike.
Story Summed Up
John (Big John) Schomaker,
the government's key witness,
testified earlier in the 50-day old
trial that Bridges took his orders
from Sam Darcy, then leader of
west coast communists.
Attorney Vincent Hallinan
summed un Bridges' side of the
story when the prosecution ob
jected to the detailed testimony
by saying:
"Your honor, we are entitled
to show that the 1934 strike
wasn't run by a magic man nam
ed Darcy but by 3,000 dock
workers."

j, OREGON,
COUNCIL TURNS DOOT
SUH DAY LAW, HOUSING
Petitions for public housing in
Medford, and for Sunday closure
ot new and used car agencies,
were turned down by the city
council at its regular meeting
last night. The council also
passed an ordinance making un
lawful the sale of eoods from
vehicles standing or parked on
street, alley or other public
place.
On the nublic housing matter
the council followed the recom
mendation of an advisory com
mittee in rejecting the petition
of the Medford central labor
council. The labor council had
asked the city to apply for 250
units under the Sparkman bill.
Little Need" Seen
Advisory Committeemen Mark
Goldy, Bruce Bauer, Robert
Rucker and Charles Whillock
said their study indicated that
there is little need for such a
program and that Medford would
not qualify for the housing.
They said that the matter should
be tabled. The council discharg
ed the committee.
In turning down the auto
dealers' proposal, the council
pointed to considerable opposi
tion indicated by two remon
strance petitions.
According to the street sales
ordinance, "it shall be unlawful
for any person operating or hav
ing control of ... a vehicle
standing or parked unon any
street or alley or public place
within the city of Medford to
sell or to offer for sale therefrom
any fruit or flowers, or meat, or
poultry, or vegetables or other
goods."
Jail. Fine; Possible - - ,
The ordinance provisions 'do
not include temporary or casual
standing of a vehicle by a ped
dler going from place to place
if the vehicle stands for less than
20 minutes. Penalty for viola
tion is a $100 fine or 40 days in
jail or both.
The vehicles create congestion
and a traffic hazard, it was said.
Councilmen around Christmas
time heard considerable rom
plaint from owners of establish
ed businesses concerning the
competition from street sales.
A petition requesting city in
spection of meats was presented
to the council and referred to
the health committee. It is said
to be backed by a large number
of dealers and by the larger

Lewis, Operators
To Resume Talks
Washington, Feb. 8 (U.R)
John L. Lewis and soft coal op
erators agreed today to resume
direct negotiations at 2 p.m.
(EST) at the request of Presi
de nt Truman's fact-finding
board.
The board, set up under the
Taft-Hartley law, did not ask

any use, President Truman will
seek a court order next Monday
in an effort to get the miners
back on the job for about 80
days.

Federal Union
Nations Urged
Washington, Feb. 8 (U.R)
Dr. Harold C. Urey, discoverer

loss of their support.
Units Must Be Larger
"As new weapons develop
longer range, it is necessary that
governmental units must be larg
er in scope." said the noted atom
ic scientist whose discovery
made the H-bomb theoretically
possible.
Urey, a member of the board
of the Atlantic Union committee,
told a senate foreign relations
subcommittee that failure of the
United States to call a federal
convention of the Atlantic coun
