? E TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) Babson Discusses Weather Bv Roaer W. Babson New York City, Apr. 7 (Spe cial to Mail Tribune) One of the chief topics of discussion here today is whether Dr. Irving L,angmuir ana his Harvard friends will succeed in mak ing it rain Of cou rse. based on statis tics, nature fa' vors their rep utation. Every day New York goes without Mo rain, chances increase that the rain makers will be "success ful." If no rain occurs ancr thpv doctor the clouds, their ex periments will be of some value; but if rain does occur, no one can tell whether or not rain would have come without this Perhaps the most interesting feature will De me resuua ui the legal suits: (1) Those brought by business concerns depart mcnt stores, amusement centers and building contractors wno do not want rain; and (2) Those brought by communities other than New York City who will claim that New York stole rnin which thev greatly needed One thing the rain makers have nrrnmn ished. They are giving the gambling element something new to bet upon, bo mucn ivi this New York experiment. Chang in Weather Affects Disposition The real thought which I have in mind is to emphasize the im portance of watching the daily U. S. weather maps as they ap pear in most city newspapers. My reason, however, is not to know per se if it is to rain or be fair, if it is to be colder or warm er; but how the change is to af fect the behavior, disposition, judgment and courage of you and me. Upon these things our happiness and business success largely depends. The first step is to learn how to interpret this weather map. The newspaper tells you what the weather will probably be to morrow. But when making plans for advertising, business inter views, committee meetings etc., we should know what weather conditions to expect a few days ahead. This we can usually do by studying the weather map. Certainly, every child in school should be taught how to fore cast the weather from this daily weather map. Rising Barometer Provides Favorable Answer In my own life I use the weather forecasts as follows: Rule 1: If I want someone to tnke a favorable attitude or to answer "yes" on some project, I wait for a cool and clear day with a rising barometer. (I have a barometer over my desk be side my clock). I always can get better results by so waiting. Rule 2: If someone wants to call noon me whom I do not care much about seeing, I make a nine w. ion tne day probably will be cloudy or muggy with a fall ing barometer. I have two rea sons for this (a) Because the per son then may not have the en ergy to call; and (b) Because it will be much easier for me to say "no" when the barometer is falling and 1 don't feel well. Looking back on myjife it seems ns if 90 per cent of my mistakes were due to my not having the guts so say "no" and stick to it. Weather Major Factor In Starting Marital Rows Rule 3: Last week Mrs. Babson and I celebrated our golden wed ding.

Main at Riverside MAIL TRIBUNE married 50 years have had rows. But when last week discussing our experience, it was evident that every serious "flair up" started accidentally over some very insignificant and un expected word. With my present knowledge of weather psychol ogy, I believe that the weather was an important factor in start ing most of those unhappy days. Hence, my rule 3 is to "watch my step during such cloudy or muggy days" and keep away from other people as much as I can, remembering that the weather is making them "touchy" or a little ugly as well as it is affect ing me unfavorably. Rule 4: Mnally, 1 no longer telephone the doctor when mem bers of my family have pains or think they are sick without first looking at the barometer. If there has been a sudden weath' er change, I say: L-neer up, You'll be O. K. tomorrow. To day's aches and depression are due to a changing weather con dition." This forecast is usually correct and all the family are neain feeling fine in a day or so, This barometer pays for itself every month. I wish 1 coum De as successful forecasting the stock market. 'Acme Tetonhoto FIRED BY 'NOON' - Testifying before the Semite foreign relations subcommittee in Washington, Don ald L. Nicholson (above), chief of the State Department division of security, said he does not Know of any "card - carrying Communists" in the agency and that If he finds any they will be fired by -noon." Young Woman Slain By Repulsed Lover Houston, Tex., Apr. 7 (U.R) Lupe Vasquez, 39, confessed he burned a young woman to death after she lured him to a seclud ed spot and then repulsed his advances, police said today. Vasquez' arrest yesterday end ed a z-nour search for the torch slayer of Mrs. Josephine Hernan dez Cavazos. Vasquez signed a statement that he picked up Mrs. Cavazos Monday. "She insisted on going to some out-of-the-way spot and then, when I parked, she tried to bite and scratch me," Vasquez' state ment said. "I kicked her in the stomach and threw her out of the car," he said. She kept moving, so I took my cigarctt lighter and set fire to her dress. I saw old rub ber innertubes and threw them on her to make the fire burn." In New York City it is against the law to mow the lawn on Sun day. Phone 2-6189 fV xL ' If Friday.

Philippines Starts To Destroy Communist-Led Huks Bv Ralph Teatsorth United Press Correspondent Manila U.R) The Philippine government has opened a new military campaign against the Hukbalahap in a determined ef fort to bring internal peace to this republic by the end of 19oO. 1 he Philippine constabulary is engaged in a shooting war on series of fronts almost 1,000 miles long from north to south against all kinds of outlaws and malcontents. The communist-led Hukbalahap, however, symbol izes all internal enemies of the government. The Huk is a wily antagonist He looks like any other Filipino peasant or laborer. He wears no uniform. He carries a weapon sometimes, but a pistol is easy to conceal. He strikes swiftly, jlly at night, and can pick his spots. He can hide with small bands of his organization in the moun tains or the swamps. He can dis- Kerse quickly and lie low at ome until danger is past. Four Years Of Fighting I he constabulary, whose lob it is to keep peace and order in the country, "has been fighting the Huks for almost four years. Well-eauipped government troops have killed hundreds or Huks and undoubtedly have kept them from concentrating and building up into a force that could overthrow the govern ment. Official reports and intelli gence say this is the ultimate aim of the Hukbalahap: to over throw the government by force and set up their own regime. The same reports have called the Hukbalahap a communist front Air Force Receives 'Flying Classroom' Washington. Apr. 7 (U.R) The air force said today it has received the second of 30 "fly ing classroom" plnncs ordered with fiscal 1949 funds. The plane, a Consolidated Vultce T-29. can be used for simultaneous-flight training of 14 student navigators. The air force said it arrived at Ellington air force base, Houston, after a flight from San Diego. The air force first announced that it had received the first "flying classroom." and later corrected itself. Temperatures Skid In Northern Plains Chicago, Apr. 7 (UP.) Tem peratures dropped to almost freezing on the northern plains today and forecasters said it would slow the run-off of melt ing snow which caused floods in Minnesota and the Dakotas. The chill wave pushed tem peratures down from near-record heights. The mercury climbed to B9 degrees yesterday at Phillips, S. D., one degree warmer than the day's high at Miami. Fin. Northerly winds along the east coast also held temperatures to unseasonable levels. Amateur Selection Skips Local Entry Keith Mirick. selected recent ly as popular winner of the ama- i leur contest conducted here bv radio station KYJC, was not se lected to perform on the Origi nal Amateur hour- during its Portland airing, KYJC officials said today they had been in formed. Portland's radio station KEX told KYJC that selections for the nation-wide broadcast were based on two things, talent and a wide selection of various types of performers. PROPANE TANKS LOW EASY RENTAL PLAN DOMESTIC GAS CO. 3330 N. Highway 99 1 All-Out War organization in which a few com munist party leaders exploit a backward class of people by promising them power and equality. The head of the Huks is Luis M. Taruc, a 37-year-old wisp of a man who says he is a com munist. His vocabulary is that of a Moscow red "imperialist," "war monger," "people's democ racy," etc. although he has never been in Russia as far as is known here. His capture dead or alive would bring at least Taruc Silent Taruc, who used to send press releases of his statements to Manila newspapers, has been strangely s il e n t for several months. His silence has caused speculation. Some think he was killed in last year s constabulary anti-Huk campaign, a fact the Huks might try to conceal. Some believe he is lust lying low to avoid capture while plan ning and directing Huk strategy. Ken. cornciio i. viliarcal. chairman of the congressional committee on un-Filipino activi ties, has still another idea about Taruc. He thinks Taruc has left the Philippines, perhaps to con sort with the communists in China or elsewhere. There is no confirmation of his theory. Fought Japanese The Hukbalahap. according to government officials, was form ed in the early part of World War II, when the communist party went underground. The Huks fought the Japanese. The full name of their organiza tion, Hukbo ng Baynn La ban sa Hapon, means "The People's Army Against Japan." The Huks are closelv affiliated with the Peasants' union, or Na tionalist Society of Peasants, from the Tagalog "Pambansang Kaisahan ng mgr Magubukid."

Delbert Fuhnman, brought into office with him a love for the soil and the blue skies. Now, he has a novel plan to combine those loves all over the nation and make them pay. He recommends that airport operators, private or goyern mental, utilize the ground around their landing strips to grow crops for profit or, at least, erosion control. Fuhriman realizes that many airport developments embrace many acres of land, often rich farming land. Most of the time, the area around the paved or graveled runways goes to waste, "breed ing dust, weeds and mosquitoes." Sees Good Yield Planted to erain. alfala, le gumes or grass, Fuhriman him self the owner and operator oi two farms in Northern Utah feels certain "that many airports have good enough soil to get as much as S200-an-acre crops. One small private field at Bountiful, north of Salt Lake City, already has farmed its ex tra airport land and its opera tor, H. J. Stevenson, advised Fuhriman that the return has been excellent. A similar project is being started this year oy Provo, Utah's third largest city, for its big new field. Flying Since 194S Fuhriman, 40, has been flying, most of the time in his own two- place Cessna, since 1945 and is one of the western leaders of the Flying Farmers organization He became interested in aero nautics when he was a boy on the family farm in southern Idaho. "Lindbergh flew the ocean about the time we got our first tractor." he recalls. It wasn i hard for us kids to imagine, while driving that tractor around the fields, like Lindy, we were flying the ocean." Has Own Farms He lives on a 90-acre farm ir rigated tract near Tremonton, Utah. Forty miles to the north, near the-Idaho border, he has a 1,000-acre dry wheat farm. By auto or truck, it took Fuh riman an hour in good weather, or 10 hours in rain or snow, to drk'e over the dirt roads be tween his places. After he learn ed to fly, he made the hop by plane in 20 minutes. As state aeronautics director, he works in Salt Lake City but still lives in Tremonton, commuting the 60 miles daily by air. His wife, Elna, also enjoys fly ing. So do his seven children. "But," he smiles, "we need a DC3 if we were all to fly at the same time. The kids would want to take their horses along."

Firemen Quell Blaze In Woolworth Office New York, Apr. 7 (U.R) Fire men hauled hoses up 23 stories early today to quell a spectacu lar fire in the 60-story Wool worth building, the sixth tallest building in the United States. The blaze made the 23rd floor of the 792 foot skyscraper flare like a red beacon visible across the Hudson river in New Jersey. But damage was confined to wood trim and furnishings in the executive officers of the F. W Woolworth Co.. the building's owners and operators of the na tionwide five and dime store chain Two workmen installing air conditioning equipment and one fireman were overcome by smoke and about 100 building employes were routed from the building.

Bases Belong Elsewhere Tokyo (U.R) Japan wants the United States to build its mili tary bases elsewhere than on the Japanese islands, the weekly magazine Oriental ' Economist suggests. The periodical did not name the United States but the edito rial was carried after a series of newspaper reports had been pub lished indicating that the United States plans to retain its air bases in Japan and develop its naval base at Yokosuka. Japan wants to stay out of a third world war, the economic weekly said. If neutrality would not assure Japan of her security, only then would the Japanese want pacts involving the estab lishment of bases in Japan by a foreign power. Would Avoid War "In all honesty, nothing could be more desirable td us than avoidance of a third world war," the Oriental Economust said. "If unfortunately such a major con flict should aeain rise, we should like to remain absolutely neutral. "Therefore, if foreign military bases must be built, let them be on Okinawa or on the Bonin islands." The magazine admitted, how ever, that Japan would find it difficult to maintain her neu trality in the event of another world conflict. It said that in such a case, "there is no course but to resort to military assist ance pacts involving the furnish ing of strategic bases and other problems." Avoiding discussion of Japan's mflitary value, the Oriental Economist said Japan's Dolitical and economic value was consid erable. It pointed to news reports that the American version of Japanese neutrality is that Japan remain outside the Soviet sphere of influence and the Russian ver sion is that American influence be excluded from Japan.

Salem, Ore., Apr. 7 (U.R) Four barefoot boys escaped from the detention ward at Woodbum state training school Thursday night, state police reported to day. Two others were recaptured shortly after the break by school officials. "We are well cognizant of the difficulties entailed in any at tempt to preserve neutrality in a world situation like that . . ." the magazine commented. The only other alternative that the magazine could see for Japan was re-armament. But "not only does it appear, unlikely that the allied powers will permit Japan to re-arm, but the possession of military forces would be a viola tion of the new Japanese consti tution." Japan renounced armaments and war in the hope that it would facilitate her joining the United Nations and on the assumption that in thee event of aggression by a foreign power, the United Nations would guarantee terri torial security, the magazine said. "But instead, Japan has been left literally and utterly defense less in a critical world situation among nations possessing with out exception some measure of military strength," it concluded. iry Hallmark Cord you ttnd 0' Easier 0ayj Just what you want to say Qjie way you ivanr to say it iery one Qe'ec'J your perfect taste! come In and see them owems BOOK & GIFT SHOP 217 E.
