Murder is Murder To tho Editor: It hurls me to the heart when I read n story like the "Science at Work" story in the Mini Tribune, nhimt can cer and the mercy killing of people. Murder is murder, no matter If done by doctor or bandit. We In the U.S.A. need more faith In God. He iilonp gives life and He alone has a right to decide how long we shall live. In 1847 1 was n terrible sin ner and suffered from high blood pressure, bud heart and other things. Doctors told me I was all washed up so far as working in a sawmill was concerned, I weighed only 135 pounds and I thought I wanted to die as I suffered plenty. I finally found salvation and trusted to God and today, after two years handling lumber 1 weigh 170 pounds and according to tests have no hca.-t trouble or high blood pressure. My sister-in-law In Flint, Mich., was cured by prayer after being given only three weeks to live. So who are men to have the right to say anyone cannot be healed? Sidney F. Gay, Ashland, Ore. Carried Away To the Kdilor: We of the Pre serve the Rogue association ap preciate the offers of those of you who suggested taking the Squire of "Hroughton'a Bayou" to the woodshed and administer ing the hairbrush for some un-der-the-bclt references to the "fat" disability compensation NATIONAL EDITORIAL Everybody s The annual Red Cross fund drive is on in Jack son county, the goal this year $25,000 twenty per cent more than last year. COLICITATION throughout the county will be a considerable task but workers can be materially lightened if there is co operation on the part of the general public. It should not be necessary to "sell the Red Cross to each individual donor. of the great humanitarian all. Known also is the work on a local level, tne sum mer swimming programs whereby hundreds of chil dren, and adults too, learn not only how to save their own lives but how to save the many, many hours devoted to veterans at the Camp White Domiciliary center, and scores of other activities under the Red Cross banner. e e e e e RflARCH has been designated as Red Cross month. 1T1 Let us prove that Jackson county can raise its share of the national drive lhan a month. This we can generously and takes a personal interest in seeing that i i i . i. . i 1 e 'a l nis aonauon is in me nanus possible. E.C.F. Next Time Try Sno-Cats Problems encountered by the army in its recent test of men and machines in the far north are told in a recent United Press story from Washington. AMONG other things, those engaged in Operation Suroorririar no tho OYPrm'soo. alnnnr tViO 3K0-rrnlp stretch of road from Whitehorse to Northway, Alaska, were termed, found that ground operations in such country cannot be counted upon. Deployment of troops ragged terrain where mountains, marshes, deep snow and forests serve as hazards. Either there must be a new approach to the matter of transport over snow or reliance must be placed mainly in paratroops. TTHE war games revealed an urgent need on the part of the U. S. Army for a better tracked vehicle than the "weasel" the Washington story reveals. The "weasels," underpowered and difficult to maintain, suffered an estimated 50 per cent casualty rate. The Canadian "penguin," another type of snow vehicle, fared somewhat better, but its size made it hard to maneuver off the Alcan highway. PAR be it from us to make any suggestions to the r mighty staff officers, but we wonder if they know about Sno-Cats. The Sno-Cat is a comparatively light, easily maneuvered, trustworthy and proven ve hicle which can haul men and equipment over most any snow conditions that may be encountered. Oh, yes, we almost forgot to mention that Sno Cats are manufactured right here in Medford. E.C.F. Republicans Muff a Chance Fov months past the government's buying of potatoes and storing them to rot has been the subject of criticism and protest. It gressional farm leaders that corrected the whole farm endangered. ' A similar condition in government already has $100 million worth of surplus eggs on hand, has not helped to quiet the critics. rOR a time it appeared that the republicans in con- gress would seize the opportunity to do some thing about the prcssure-group-born surplus buying. The time was ripe for a bold stand against a situation which has become a national scandal. But what happened? The Lucas legislation which would have ended subsidies until controls could have been imposed was rejected, 28 Republicans joining with 15 Democrats to adopt an amendment by tinue the potato subsidies. Independence Autoist Killed In Auto Upset Snlem, Ore., Mar. 2 lU.RI A motorist identified by state po lice as Harvest Thiheau, of Independence, Ore., died Tuesday night when his car left the high way and overturned in two feet of water in Oak Point creek two and one-half miles smith of the Salem-Independence Y. State police said they had not determined the cause of the accident. checks that the government saw fit to award a veteran who was disabled In combat. Anyone is liahel to get carried away by his enthusiasm, and if the Squire does not now regret his indiscreet remarks, public reaction to such tactics may later give him pause. Members of the Preserve the Rogue association are highly pleased by the heavy and inerea ing support being given our light by people in the Medford area fruitgrowers, other farm ers and ranchers, and business and professional men. Yes, some of us are also members of the Walton League and several times as many are members of the Grange. Since Broughton seems to think that we cannot stop this project and force reclamation lo bring out one that will provide water at less expense and dam age to the valley and we arc equally sure tliBt we can both of us should be happy.

EXPERT TYPEWRITER and ADDING MACHINE REPAIRS YOUR OFFICE BOY 115 West Mala St. Crosstown "I'm gonna ba too busy to this Washington Report By Bob Washington, Mar. 2 Should the government seize the coal mines? Yes, says Oregon's in domitable Sen. Morse. He feels that the coun try is in a "ser ious economic crisis" because of the coal strike and en visages a seiz ure as a matter of necessity at this time. While he Bob Dicker fears gov em inent seizure, the Oregon sen ator aays, "We are faced with a crisis, and I think we have to move in and seize the coal in dustry as a last resort." Fight Nationalisation Although Morse calls for a seizure, he stresses that it must be only temporary. He doesn't believe it is a step towards na tionalization of the coal industry. His pronouncement on this issue was: "I will fight nationalization to the last breath." But how is this seizure to come f.,e-5-',s cMlees straw blonde For $6 Also available In white. Sizes 4 Widths AAAA to by Roland Coo help any with your gardenin' year I" Dickey about? Would it merely be a seizure by order of the president? Or does the president have in herent power to order such a seizure? According to Morse, the con stitution of the United States does not give the president im plied power to order such a seiz ure. It is his belief that legis lative action is required. This means congress would have to act. Another aspect of the seizure problem examined by Morse was the procedure to be employed. He does not advocate a seizure per se. The Oregon solon feels that when the government seizes the mines, it has an "obligation and duty to determine the merits of the dispute during the period of seizure." Objects to Taft-Hartley He criticized the Taft-Hartley law in its application to the coal crisis. One of the features of the law objected to by Morse is that the miners are forced to go back to work under the very condi tions which they are striking against. This procedure is in Now at Lands & Johnston COBBLERS Only 95 red or to 10. C. equitable, he believes. He advocates a finding of fact and a granting of concession wnicn appear to be Just and fair, even during a seizure, or during we iime mat, tne miners are wonting under the compulsion of a court injunction. But even though he objects to the existing labor law, Morse has called for its strict enforce ment. He says, "So long as it is on the books, it must be follow ed. And on this score he ac- vuea me administration of being delinquent. Individual Miners Affected As is .well known, Truman has finally acted under the Taft Hartley law and an ininnotinn has issued. But the crisis has continued because the miners nave refused to follow the back-to-work order. They say that the injunction does not apply to them individually. On this count Morse also gave a verdict. He said, "While some lawyers say the individuals are not affected, the language of the Taft-Hartley law makes an in junction under it applicable not only to the officers of the union, but to the workers themselves." Greatest Defense Weapon Morse also expressed his views on our national defense situation. ne caned a sound domestic econ omy our greatest defense weap on. Our national defense is "much stronger than the American peo ple think," he said, "but it does need strengthening in many places." He added, however, that "military weapons alone are not enough." "We don't have a sound econ omy at present," said Morse. He labeled the five billion dollar de ficit in the budget as "outrageaus and indefensible." He suggested removing the de ficit by cutting expenditures not by raising taxes. Some of these specific proposals to cut spending were: 1. An adoption of the Hoover commission's recommendations, which Morse says would save three billion dollars. 2. Elimination of waste within the military establishment by a centralized accounting and cen tralized procurement system. Two billion could be saved here according to Morse. 3. Adoption of the tax pro gram espoused by the committee on economic development. Leads With Chin These were some of the views expressed by Sen. Wayne Morse in a recent press interview. While the positions he took were important, probably more im portant was the fact that Morse still continues to lead with his chin, notwithstanding his coming re-election campaign.

CENTRAL Production Model Of 6-Jet Bomber Ready Washington, Mar. 2 (U.P.) The first production model of the six jet, swept-wing medium bomber, the B-47 "Stralojet," was completed today at Boeing's Wichita, Kans., plant, the air force here announced. Air force engineers immediate ly began a week-long inspection, after which the plane will be put through a test flight. The produc tion model B147A is similar to but more powerful than the two experimental XB-47's which have been flying for about two years. The production model has J-47 jet engines with 5,2000 pounds thrust each, compared to the ex perimental plant's J-35s with 4,000 pounds thrust. The produc tion model also has more fuel capacity which will increase its combat radius over the "more than 1,000 miles" of the XB-47. One of the experimental strat ojets set an unofficial transcon tinental record by flying 2,289 miles from Moses Lake, Wash., air base to Andrews air base near here in 3 hours and 45 min utes an average speed of 607.8 miles per haur.
