TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday- March 2. I9S0 In the Day's News Bv FRANK JENKINS Oklahoma City'i man-eating (maybe) leopard if dead and we can all breatne sign 01 renei. Nobody was et. In fact, nobody got even scratched. THIS, apparently, Is the story: The big cat, fresh over from the jungles of India, got curious, even as you and I, flexed his muscles one fine morning, bound ed 13 feet in the air (as he was probably in the habit of doing in his home habitat) cleared the confining walls of his pit and went for a stroll. When he got tired and hungry, he came home. He died while sleeping off the effects of some doped meat that had been put out for him. THE moral, if any? Well, I'd say we worried too much about something that fail ed to happen. I WONDER if it won't be the same way about the A-bomb and the tl-bomb. I find It hard to believe that these Russians, screwballed as they nnloubtedly are, want to kill off everybody in the world THEMSELVES INCLUDED. I have the feeling that they want to go on living. It s Just possible that the A- bomb ana me H-Domrj win wont out like poison gas did. As soon as it was discovered that the OTHER FELLOW COULD USE POISON GAS TOO, everybody quit using It. THE thing we must do, of course, is to leave no doubt In the minds of the half-crazed men in the Kremlin that if they A-bomb and H-bomb us we'll A-bomb and H-bomb them right back. If they thought they could wipe us out to the last man witn one fell blow, they'd do it. They're that kind of cookies. But if we're as smart as we always have been, they CAN'T do it. If we have bombs enough and planes enough and have them scattered widely enough over our vast country they can't hit us so hard or so quick that we won't have a few squadrons of planes left with which to bomb them back. If we can make It plain enough that that is exactly what will happen, I think they may re frain from A-bomblng and H bomblng us. Anyway, that was the way it worked out with poison gas and I find It hard to believe that human nature has changed to the point where it won't work out the same way wit hthe new horror bombs. THIS engaging little tale ticks off the wires from Long Bench: "Rolland Truman, attorney, a third cousin of President Tru- Unemployment Claims Lowered In Last Of February Salem, Ore., Mar. 2 U.B ine conunuea rise or employ ment cut unemployment claims In the closing days of February.

I feel he is being held prisoner by advisers who lean to socialistic philosophies of government . UUH-uh, Rolland, it Isn't that way. Cousin Harry is Just having tne bee put on him by his crowd to KEEP 'EM IN POWER, NO MATTER HOW IT HAS TO BE DONE. Staying in power is the first principle of modern politics, as it has been the first principle of ALL politics. Cousin Harry Just figures that the easiest way to keep his crowd in power Is to buy votes with promises. It's an old, old dodge which has worked far, far often er than it has failed. Cocker Spaniel Bites Bandit And Prevents Robbery In Chicago Chicago (U.PJ Scooter, a cocker spaniel, was credited with scaring away two bandits after the dog decided they were not customers. They demanded the money from a cleaning shop cash reg ister and the clerk, Margaret Adams, handed them $50. Then they said they wanted more. Scooter watched quietly.
