In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
"Economy advocates conceded
today Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow
er has only to say the word nnd
congress probably will respond
with a boost in military spending."
w
HY?
The answer to that Is obvious.
Our economy-minded people
(there are a few sincere ones)
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GEN
ERAL EISENHOWER. They feel
that he isn't concerned either
with keeping his party in power
or GETTING HIS PARTY INTO
POWER.
His primary concern, they be
lieve, is with the welfare of the
United States of America.
OUR STATE department is get
ting into quite a lot of hot
water. Part of it is POLITICAL
hot water. The republicans un
fortunately, are making political
medicine out of it. The demo
crats hope to confound the re
publicans and turn their at
tempted medicine-making back
onto them.
Most of us who are neither
hell-and-hlgh-water republicans
nor hell-and-hlgh-water demo
crats have the feeling that the
state department, maybe, Isn't
quite all it ought to be and wish
It were a little better than it Is.
POSSIBLY It is the traditional
state department atmosphere
that Is at fault. Somehow screw
balls Just naturally tend to con
gregate In state departments
(which elsewhere In the world
are called "foreign offices.")
It could be the striped pants.
It could be the rigid protocol
that prevails in such places. In
date department affairs, you
know, everybody must Lit In juitl
One of the things helping to make Los Angeles
a great city is the methodical way in which its mdus
try leaders not only go after customers but endeavor
to keep their customers happy.
a a
fTJNE of the means used in keeping the buyers of Los
Angeles-made goods in a receptive mood is by
pointing out to them that the y,UUU manufacturers and
processors in the Los Angeles area constitute an un
believably vast market for the raw materials coming
from adjacent states.
In order to get this message of reciprocal interest
into the areas with which the California metropolis
trades, six men from the L.A. Chamber of Commerce
are presently in the field, calling on retailers and other
buyers of both soit and hard goods.
a a a
HTHE chamber representatives inquire as to the serv-
n rr leanAavnA Vtnvflfc iirViofViQa rrnnrla aim.
plied are up to standard or expectations, whether
packaging and other shipping practices are satisfac
tory and whether transportation time and charges are
in line.
"NE such representative, whose territory includes
Oregon and Washington, told this writer yester
day that studies by his chamber's domestic trade de
partment show Oregon products purchased in Los
Angeles and immediate vicinity in 1948 were worth
well over $70,000,000. Although 1948 is the last year
for which figures are complete, the 1949 study not yet
beine finished, it is expected that the 1949 total will
be approximately as large.
aaaae
"REG0N raw and finished material and produce
sold in Los Angeles in 1948 included 1,045,450,-
000 board feet of lumber which brought $65,288,800.
Second largest item was dairy and poultry products,
totaling $1,674,961. Fruits and vegetables brought
$1,375,788; livestock $1,352,511 and fish and other
sea food about $1,000,000.
Of the eleven states outside California covered
by the Los Angeles surveys, Oregon ranked second in
supplying products and material, being topped only
by Utah with $97,152,789. The latter state's total was
made up largely of values represented by steel, pig
iron and livestock. E.C.F.
Warning to Minors
The experience of a 17-year-old Jefferson girl
with a circulation campaign agency for two national
magazines ought to get widespread publication so it
can serve as a warning to other youngsters tempted
by promises of travel, adventure and big money.
Irene that's her name came to Salem some
weeks ago to answer to an advertisement asking for
circulation campaign crew members under 25 years
of age and free to travel. From Salem the crew, which
included two married couples, Irene and a Salem girl,
went to Washington, Idaho and Montana where they
"worked" college campuses although (she said) the
crew knew it was unlawful in most instances to do so.
She relates that it was a policy that if a salesperson
was jailed for failing to register with the police as re
quired, the agency would pay the bail but that the
solicitor had to repay the firm. Irene said she earned
$28 in six clays of Selling and was still in debt to the
company.
Irene was gone for two weeks and her family had
no idea where she was, according to the Albany
Democrat-Herald. They were afraid she hight have
been held by a "white slave outfit" and called police
and a private detective to try to find her.
Well, Irene was lucky. She got home all right,
and the agency even paid her bus fare back to Jef
ferson. But some other 17-year-old kid might not be so
lucky in the experience and in their employers. There
have been cases when girls were hired by itinerant
groups and then were never heard from again. Par
ents should make sure the employers of their minor
children are reputable firms, and youngsters ought
not to hire themselves out to agencies about which
they know nothing. Oregon (Salem) Statesman..

must ever be placed ABOVE

And so on.
AT ANY RATE, the business of
state departments and for
eign offices is diplomacy. Diplo
macy Is the contact of nations
with nations. It is heavily
weighted with tradition and
precedent.
Politics and foreign affairs
("foreign policy" is the custom
arily accepted term) should nev
er be mixed. When stirred to
gether, they are highly explo
sive. The pages of history fairly
reck with examples of that.
Personally, I have the feeling
that here in America In these
critical times, we are trying to
mix our Internal polities with
our foreign policy. If we keep
that up. the lime will come when
we will wish we hadn't.
COR THE past week, these
fancy new rainmakers who
pin their faith to "seeding"
clouds with dry ice has been sit
ting with finger on trigger in
New York waiting for a chance
to try their stuff. Thev have been
stymied by the fact that EVERY
DAY IT HAS RAINED hard.
You Just can't tell what the
weather will do.
rvOWN In Los Angeles a guy
who has been out of a job
for ten weeks found $27,000 in
negotiable stocks the other day
and didn't have carfare money
which to hunt up the owner and
give the stocks back to him.
SO HE SOLD A PINT OF HIS
BLOOD AT A HOSPITAL FOR
$4, and used the money for trav
el expenses to locate him and
give his property back!
IT TAKES all kinds of people
to make a world, and this Los
Angeles man is the RIGHT
KIND.

ices of the local Red Cross chap

Here we are by the sea in
Florida, not far from Palm
Beach. We breezed down here bv
plane, nonstop, in three hours
and forty-five minutes. My girl
friend and I had an easy, pleas
ant trip. It was a little bit tough
er for Timothy, the world's most
remarkable black and white
springer spaniel. He traveled in
a portable doghouse, up front in
a compartment near the pilot.
However, he came through all
right. Five minutes after he was
off the plane he was rolling
around in the grass. Twenty-five
minutes after that he consumed
a hearty meal. Considering it was
the first time he had traveled on
a plane or in a container, he cov
ered himself with glory. A re
markable animal.
Grim Winter
This has been rather a grim
winter for us. After I was
knocked over by the shingles my
girl friend was floored by a virus
infection. So we were both flat
on our backs at the same time.
The weather was terrible;
cloudy, dreary, cold and rainy
practically every day. Also all
the time we were sick the so
prano next door and her pupils
kept screaming night and day,
including Sunday.
Little House
We are domiciled in a little
house about a block from the
ocean on one side and across
from a polo training field on the
other. The stable boys had the
polo ponies out for exercise early
this morning. Quite a picturesque
sight. I am a polo fan of long
standing. I saw my first polo
game when I was around eight
years old. That was when polo
was played on the parade
grounds in Prospect park, Brook
lyn. Second Trip
This is only the second time I
have been in Florida. Strangely
enough the first time I ever vis
ited this state was in the sum
mertime. I made a trip from Cali
fornia to Galveston, Tex., by
train that time. From Galveston
I took a steamship to New York
and this boat stopped for seven
hours at Miami. It was pretty hot
in the city of Miami that June
day, but it wasn't so bad at Mi
ami Beach.
Taking It Easy
My girl friend and I have both
been instructed to take it easy.
That is something I do very well.
That ailment, so trivially re
ferred to as the "shingles," is a
tough proposition to completely
overcome, but I am gaining on it.
My girl friend is coming along
nicely. We are about 35 miles
from the Gulf Stream race track.
We will probably ride down
there in a few days to look the
noble animals over. You are not
supposed to get excited when
convalescing from the shingles.
However, I never get excited at
a race track. When you have a
MIHIIIinilMimillllMtMH,,'
system like mine there is no ne
cessity for excitement. It just
runs like clockwork.

Dissatisfaction Regretted
To the Editor: In response to
the letters recently published in
this column, about a certain con
testant on the amteur hour, we
regret to hear that some folks
are dissatisfied with the choice
of the public.
It was known some time ago
that the final contestant would
be chosen by an applause meter
and the audience attending the
show that evening. As members
of that audience, we believe we
chose the contestant having the
most talent and the ability to
go the farthest.
According to ethics, we should
all get behind him as our repre
sentative, and be his friend, win
or lose. If it should happen that
he is eliminated at Portland, we
trust that we can take our dis
appointment with good spirits.

DST Save Nothing
To the Editor: I liked Mr. Vin
son's letter in The Mail Tribune
about democracy: also your ed
itorial. It seems to me that the
129 signers of the petition rep
resent big business versus labor,
as the Central Labor council and
others of the labor organizations
representing 3.000 people got
nowhere at the meeting of Med
ford's council.
D. S. T. was forced through
over objections of others. Per
haps it's expensive to call a vote
on D. S. T. but it should be done
and let the time stay standard or
D. S. T. the year round. It makes
more hardships on some, espe
cially the ones in rural areas

You probably know about that
famous directory which, from coast
to coast, guides folks to "Good
Places to Eat."
. As I read a copy
recently, I was re
minded that my
own company
would be able to
bring out a simi
lar guide, but for
a much different
purpose.
It couldn't pos
sibly give you e
st of places to
eat. But It could
tell you where
many people are going ... for rest
and relaxation . . . after their work
ing days are over FOR GOOD.
In early December of each year,
our mailing department begins to
get hundreds of letters that say,
"Until next April, send my re
tirement checks to Saratoga
Springs." Or it may be Hot Springs.
Or French Lick. Or Catalina.
And bv spring, thinas are re
versed. The checks go to Quebec
. . . . Lake Louise . . . Vancouver
. . . Of. now that the war is over,
to Hawaii!

increasing number of Medfordites
who are looking forward to similar

The small acreages are too
small to make a living on but
do help to raise the standard of
living for the laborer and his
family.
Either way you look at it,
D. S. T. doesn't pay. You save
nothing, neither do you gain any
thing. This last law passed by
the council is like the 80th and
81st congress. We. the people,
voted for Harry S. Truman's pro

Laws Too Gentle
To the editor: Regarding the
kidnaping and killing of JoAnn
Dewey. I believe our laws are
all together too easy. I should
think the people that heard her
screaming for help would be
troubled in conscience. In view
of the terrible things that are
happening e'ery day It's ioo bad
they were so unconcerned.

It has been said that the woman who really knows how to manage
her husband seldom tells others how she does it. You see, the
important thing to her isthat she can!
So it is with us in managing your hair correctly. The Important
thing to you isn't what we use to do it, but rather the fact that
we can.
May we have a chance to prove it to you when your next hair
problem arises?
