By Hank Green
Mail Tribune Sporli Editor
Medford high trackmen once
again indicated they would be
tough foes to deieat when they
romped over Grants Pass high
in a "short distance" meet here
Saturday afternoon 92 to 27 in
which the Black Tornado never
was behind.
The local thinclads took 12 out
of 14 firsts, nine seconds and
five thirds plus a tie for second.
Medford won all three places in
the shot put. low hurdles and
discus.
Relays' Results
Grants Pass took its only first
places in the pole vault and high
jump.
In addition the Tornado won
two places in the 880-yard relay
and three in the 440 relay. How
ever, the 440 relay did not count
in the points total due to techni
calities. A slow track plus cold and
sprinkles of rain failed to slow
down the Tornado much and
Coach Bob Newland indicated
he was much pleased with the
local youths considering these
U a cniA in nnp event the
Medford boy winner outdid what
had been considered tne dcsi.
Coach Russ Werner said be
fore the meet started that several
of his best boys would not be
able to compete. It was notice-
-t,l cnnHalnrc that SPVPral Of
the Cavemen were inexperienced
ana raincr yuuuR.
Medford Dominates
Medford so dominated the
meet that there was little to keep
the small crowd's interest high.
nWUnnnii ttip plncnnpcs nf several
races brought the fans to their
feet.
The Tornado is defending state
high school track champion and
given a warm day and a faster
track Medford could continue to
improve and once again dominate
the state schools.

Joe Louis To Join
Circus Exhibitions
Waco, Tex., Mar. 25 iU.R) ,
Retired World's Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis said today
he would not return to the ring
in an effort to regain the title
held by Ezzard Charles but
would make a 94-day tour with
Daily brothers circus. ,
The famed Brown Bomber
made his announcement at a
press conference in a Waco tour
ist court today only a few hours
before he was to enter the ring
for what he said probably would
be his final public boxing ap
pearance in the United States.
Statement Given
"After due consideration by
Marshall Miles, my manager,
Manny Seamon, my trainer, and
myself, I will not return to the
ring to try to regain the heavy
weight championship of the
world," Louis said in a prepared
statement.
"Instead, I will make an ex
hibition tour through South
America and on my return will
join Dailey brothers circus on
May 24 for a tour of Canada."
Louis, now ncaring 3fl and
weighing 230 pounds, said he
did not want to go back to "the
drudgery of a training camp."
and added that his decision also
had a financial angle.
Per Cent Of Gate
He said he did not believe any
promoter could afford to stage a
championship bout for him since
he would want "at least 35 per
cent of the gate in comparison
with the usual 20 per cent of
fered challengers.
"By the time Champion Ez
zard Charles got his 40 per cent
cut and I got 35 per cent, no
promoter could afford to handle
the bout," Louis said.

Vandenberg Offers
Peace Suggestion
Washington. March 25 (".Ri
sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, (R..
Mich.) proposed today that a non
partisan commission be created
to appraise the responsibilities
of the United States as the
"world's spearhead in the quest
of dependable peace."
His suggestion was in a letter
congratulating Foregin Recovery
Chief Paul G. Hoffman on the
economic cooperation admini
stration's second anniversary
next week. It represented still
another proposal from a congress
searching restlessly for a new
peace formula.
It was the ailing republican
foreign policy spokesman's first
major statement on world affairs
in months.
Vandenberg recom mended
that the proposed commusion be
modeled after the "Harriman
commission," which was created
at his insistence two years ago
to break ground for congression
al approval of the Marshall plan.
Warn Doctors About
Anti-Histamine Drug
Portland. Ore. (U.R Dr. M.
L. Margason. president of the
Multnomah County Medical Soci
ety, says the anti-histamine
"wonder" drugs have their draw
backs. 1
He said the drugs, advertised
as "atomic" cold killers, actually
can be dangerous to loggers,
bricklayers, window washers,
and any other men working off
the ground because of drowsi
ness, dizziness, headache and
vertigo "side effects."
Dr. Margason was one of sev
eral medical men, addressing a
symposium on the use of the new
cold and hay fever drug.
Dr. M. R. Moore suggested that
the new drugs should not be sold
without a prescription.
Dr. R. R. Mattcri summed up
the discussion with the statement
that the "wonder drug" had re
ceived "exaggerated" publicity
in its favor.

To Capture Thieves
Atlanta U.R When Georgia

themselves baffled by a major

tective so well he established
one of the most successful crimi
nal investigative laboratories in
the south.
Jones Known To Many
Jones is popularly known as
the Fulton County "crime doc
tor." His actual title is "director
of laboratory." In that capacity
he has worked on some of the
most puzzling cases in this area,
including last year's murder of
the opera singer John Gurris.
His laboratory is only two
years old but man-for-man, it
probably outstrips the FBI labor
atory in W a s h I n g t o n. In 10
months Dr. Jones findings fig
ured in 88 trials in Fulton courts
and in 18 hearings in other parts
of the state. He participated in
37 autopsies, filled 30 speaking
engagements and conducted 30
tours through the laboratory.
All this was In addition to de-
v e 1 o p i n g 12,752 photographic
negatives, answering 203 burg
lary calls, conducting 42 firearms
identification tests. 66 bullet
examinations and 29 shell exam
inations. He testified or sent
someone to 42 local inquests and
two out-of-town hearings.
In idle moments, the labora
tory made knife and paint com
parisons, spectograph tests, par
affin casts, restored obliterated
writing, and tested fingernail
scrapings and the like. Numer
ous tests for arsenic, mercury,
strychnine and other poisons
were conducted.
Fulton Police Chief G. Neal
Ellis said he would ask for funds
to hire a trained assistant for
Dr. Jones.

Students at Texas A. & M. Col

tion for the old phrase, "incen
tive pay."
They stand to gain as much as
$105,353.33 during the current
school year as a result.
In a booklet distributed to stu
dents. A. & M. officials an
nounced that cash scholarships,
fellowships, prizes and awards
made to scholars during the
school year would total about
that. ,
Another $75,000 is being made
available to graduate students
through teacher assistantships.
The large amout being offered
is mainly the result of an "incen
tive pay" plan devised by school
officials four years ago. At that
time similar scholarship awards
totaled about $15,000.
Studies indicate that good crop
rotation supplemented by me

additional two to six inches of
water available to crops.
