A iust verdict and a beneficial one! According to the morning papers Australia will refuse to ac cept Bridges If he is deported, which makes it embarrassing, for we believe it would be much better to get rid of Bridges, an was rlnne with Gubitchev. than to keeD him here in a comfortable and well-appointed jail. How about sending him to the South Pole ...Itilo '.lutun' T f Alula la I i'9nitnrtirl tn thnt rnlH-ualpr ielnn at the North Pole we mentioned some time ago? If Senators McCarthy and Bridges were given one-way tickets to the same destination, it would not displease tins depojrtrneritperucuiariy. In fact, we are about convinced that deportation offers a far better solution of many serious domestic situations than incarcera tion. The latter is not only expensive, and Us curative effects aouru ful, but it eventually (usually) puts the undesirable citizen back into circulation. Deportation, on the other hand with no return ticket, gets rid of the individual infection spot ENTIRELY, We recommend this suggestion to Mr. Truman. e e e e The prediction made in this department two or three years ago that two cute little sisters from Long Beach, California, would become national figures in golf in the not-too distant future, has been luiniiea even sooner man expeuieu. r oe yuiuiHoi one, ivihp lene Bauer who with her sister Alice gave an exhibition In Med ford last year was recently declared the outstanding girl athlete of 1949; and now Alice has her picture in the New York paper so cial columns as the latest ' flame of young woolworlh Donahue, heir and playboy of the dime store millions. This is getting into the llmeliuht for sure, but not as vour correspondent (and we be lieve we can inuiiioe our uin guuing neiniuia rtuy rioiiu wuimi luA ,ialiul Thn irovhnln anttuftt ia thai lint nnlv "Wnnlwnrtli" hill his opulent and ambitious Mama are "crazy about the trim little golf star" and that orange blossoms not from Long Beach, Cal., but from Palm Beach, FLORIDA are in the offing. e Well we hope this is not true. We know nothing about this young multi-millionaire Dona hue he may or may not be OK but we heartily agree with "Papa" Bauer that romance and golf don't mix, and somehow this natural, wholesome, unspoiled girl, as the wife of Playboy "Woo lia" strikes this department as N.G. We have a pious hunch such a match would not only spoil Alice's golf game but her life. We would not be so fearful about Mar lene she could, we imagine, take a rich husband even if a spoiled one in her stride. But Alice is different. We hope there is no more to this gossip than to other juicy offerings from the keyhole brigade In this man's town. Our hope is both Bauer girls will steer clear of romantic involvement until at least one of them perhaps both win the national amateur golf crown. That goal reached, the undersigned would feel no further responsibility! ! ! There is loud acclaim hereabouts for the new abbreviated "post card" Republican platform. Well we grant it is an improvement over the long-winded and ridiculous odus Droduced bv the GOP national croup some weeks ago. But we still wonder just how the national debt is to be low ered WITHOUT raising taxes, and precisely WHERE government assistance becomes interference and federal planning destroys our liberties and establishes socialism? We welcome the brevity and var ious deletions, but the total still adds up, as we see it, to a lot of double-talk and unadulterated hokum. Sneakino of oolitics we have been particularly disappointed in the recent utterances and comments of Senator Taft of Ohio. The writer has never been a "Taft man. but during recent years we have become more and more favorably impressed by the Ohio senator's honesty, courage and downright intellectual integ rity. Probably his campaign for reelection In Ohio is to blame. wnaiever ilia cause, in recent iiiuiiius ue tci ituiiiy iiua siiuwii feet of clav" which we had come to hope he did not possess. His encouranement of the nnsoeakable McCarthy of Wisconsin in his smear campaign was INEXCUSABLE. And now his talk about Tru man selling out to me uruisn ana leaning me u.o.n. nuwn uie path to socialism and the police-stale is simply NONSENSE. The laler stand is especially surprising for only a short time hbo Taft deserted his old isolationist line and after a triD to Europe endorsed a common bi-partisan foreign policy, including a continu ance of the Marshall plan. The only answer we can see Is that the senior senalor nas re turned to the Isolationist doctrine of his earlier years, which it is now plain he really never left, although he did for a brief time en joy a "lucid interval. There seems general agreement rati win win reelection to the senate hands down again demonstrating you can't beat SOMEone with a NOBODY but his campaign should eliminate him as desirable Republican presidential material for all time to come, Soeaklne of Drcsldentlol candidates this department will not be surprised to see young Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, become a real contender six years hence, if not before. This much is cer tain, he shows signs of growth in enlightenment and stature which augurs well for his political future. Unlike his famous predecessor of the same name, young Lodge is to the left rather than to the right of center. He refuses to allow blind partisanship to dim his view of the realities and proprieties of international relationships. His comments on the latest GOP Dlatform were particularly to the point, and his refusal to Join In the communist witch hunt, and the cheap attempt to "get' Secretary Acheson, a credit to his good judgment and sound statesmanship. - Finally his suggestion that this socalled "loyalty probe' be taken out of politics and placed in the hands of a specially ap pointed non-partisan commission empowered to rid the govern ment of any real subversives but without smearing the innocent and impairing the country's standing abroad, strikes this depart ment as EXCELLENT. , ,. . , We still have some doubts about the young man s political maturity, but if he continues along present lines, we feel sure, that president or no president, he will become a fine force, not only in his party, but in the development of his country along the most constructive progressive lines. Crosstown by Roland Cos - . i - j mimM.iaiini.i 4,.8-fa oeC 'Johnnyl What have thai horrid policemen been doing te you?" In the Day's News By Frank Jenkins THIS appears to be Tho Word on flvina saucers: 1. In Key West Presidential Private Secretary Ross says: 'Neither the president nor mem bers of his staff know of any such mysterious objects as a se cret weapon of this or any other country." 2. In Washington the navv says: (a) it has not developed any pancake-shaped jet planes and (b) it is not experimenting with any saucer-shaped missile. I HATE to have to say it, but in matters of this sort (and other matters affecting our govern mental policies and precedures) NOBODY BELIEVES ANY BODY IN AUTHORITY ANY MORE. We don't necessarily regard them as personal liars. We just assume that they are following the governmental "line" and are telling the people what govern ment thinks it is best for the peo ple to be told. More or less ALL OVER THE WORLD at this moment in his tory that seems to be the atti tude of governments toward .the people. THIS comes from Paris: "The French communists to day REAFFIRMED THEIR PROMISE THAT THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE WILL NEVER MAKE WAR AGAINST THE SOVIET UNION." The promise is contained in a leleRram from the French com munists to Stalin himself and the central committee of the So viet communist party in Moscow. THAT is to say: The French communists not only PLEDGE THEM SELVES that they will never fight their comrades in Russia. They go further. They pledge to Stalin and the Russian commu nist government that THE PEO PLE OF FRANCE will never make war on Russia.' That is going pretty far. The French communists evidently have a lot of confidence in their ability to HANDLE FRANCE. We were sorrv "Old Man Flu" prevented our looking-ln on the basketball finals in Madison Square Garden last week. We listened in on the radio and did our bit to cheer on New , York college toward the double title. invitational and intercol-1 legiate. For here were a bunch of most deserving boys straight I from Al Smith's sidewalks of New York, two of them colored, and all of them "under-privileged" in the literal sense. And how they did play, not so much as individual stars as a team. It was not only a great basketball victory but a great victory for this over-grown metropolis and Its essential democracy. And the people here the rank and file, got a tremendous bang out of it. There is a general belief Manhattan is a cold, impersonal, soilless Babylon, but like so many generalities it isn't the truth, or at any rate only a half-truth. Old Father Knickerbocker is a per fectly normal human in spite of his grotesque proportions. He has a heart. the only trouble Is one needs considerable paraphernalia to FIND It such at stetheseopes and step-ladders. R.W.R. MY PERSONAL opinion is that they are not over-statine the case. I don't believe France WILL fight Russia regardless of what we do in the way of providing her with arms and other help. QUITE surprisingly. Harry Bridges is convicted of per jury.

Medford Senior High School Auditorium FIRST CHURCH of CHRIST, SCIENTIST Medlord, Oregon All Are Cordially Invited weeks to the evidence, decides that he lied under oath. I HAVE the feeling that a few years ago the Jury would have acquitted him. It was a differ ent world then. Communism was just a word. It didn't mean much to us. It is different now. The truth about it is beginning to soak into us. We are beginning to recognize Russian communism for the gris ly and terrible thing it is. A FEW years ago, Alger Hiss wouldn't have been convict ed (he, too. by the way, was found guilty of having perjured himself). 1 doubt if four or five years ago the Russian Gubitchev could have been convicted by an Amer ican jury. Or the Coplon girl. Our mood then was different. The black cloud of commu nism hadn't yet begun to darken in our sky. I'M SORRY for Bridges. I'm a sorry for any man possessing great ability as a leader who sells himself to a cause such as communism. But I can't help agreeing with the jury. What Bridges has done has tended to WEAKEN America not to strengthen her. No one who has seen the great port of San Francisco one of the finest in the world lying idle and helpless and useless for months at a time in REPEATED in stances can doubt that. Weakening America isn't good for longshoremen or any other working men. It IS GOOD for RUSSIA. Attention Called to Advertising Methods In Sale of Eggs Salem, Ore.. Apr. 8 U.R) O. K.

The law provides that the same prominence must be given to the correct grade and size of eggs as is given to the price. Beals said it is illegal to use the terms "fresh," "strictly fresh" or sim ilar in advertising any grade ex cept grade AA and grade A eggs. Your Health and lis Care ly OR. WILLIAM IRADY, M.D. Readers should address inquiries re i Pr. Willlim Bra.e)y, 265 El Camlno. Peveflv Hills, Calif. A reader reports that he read my recommendation concerning toilet of the perineum, it is giv en In tne pain- Dt. brady phlet It Is Stu- rid to Suiter I o m Piles, available on written re quest if you name the pam phlet, not if you call it something else, refrain from sending a clip, ping of this item and in close a stamp ed enve lope bearing your address. That was years ago. The reader began fol lowing my advice. He says he had always had "itching piles." That may mean piles as well as itching or It may mean just itching. The only way to determine whether a person who thinks he has piles, has piles, is by examination by means of tho proctoscope (recto scope), this is, internal, "blind" or bleeding piles. A' good many persons who think they have piles and use all sorts of so-called pile remedies rather than have a proper examination have no piles at all. The reader gives his opinion that the itching depended chief ly upon how much coffee he drank. Possibly, although I doubt that coffee drinking in modera tion is a cause of such itching. The ten-dollar word for itching without apparent skin trouble is pruritus. Let's call it just itching I was roundly scolded by a fine editor once, because I in advertently used the word pru ritus in my column and his sec retary, a very refined young man, was outraged by my lan guage. I never heard whether the editor and his secretary were more embarrassed when they looked it up in Webster. "I use a special wash cloth, a special towel and special soap. The washing and drying takes only a minute, and ever since I besan followinif this sugsestion of yours 1 have been comfortable : always. It is an easy habit to ac-l quire. It beats messy salves and experimenting with diets and. medicines." Far be it from me to imply that Doc Brady with his un- brushed teeth and his difference in respect to hot soaks and cold showers is more meticulous in! regard to personal cleanliness! than need be. But I do believe,! with this reader, that such a re form in the every day toilet habits of most people would pre vent a tremendous amount of suffering from pruritus, piles, fissure, fistula, ischio-rectal ab scess and other conditions which may result from irritation and infection. From the sanitary, hygienic and health viewpoints a modern RELIEF rROM"JTCHINQ PILES" , bathroom should have wash ba sin, toilet and stall shower, not a bathtub. Instead of the bathtub, if the bathroom has a stall shower, there should be one or two bidets, sit bath tubs, or at many as there are persons using the bathroom. This arrangement, I submit, would make for more personal cleanliness in America.
