Huk Leaders Killed
In Philippine Attack
Manila, P. I., Apr. 12 (U.R)
Fifty communist-led Hukbalahap
peasant leaders have been killed
in a combined ground end air
attack by government forces
near Cabanatuan, capital of
Nuevaecija province, field dis
patches said today.
The dispatches said the Huks
were holding a top-level meeting
in a town 60 miles north of
Manil awhen the government
forces "wiped out" the gathering
with air bombs and machine-gun
fire.
It apparently was one of the
biggest operations since the
Huks began their big offensive
against the government a fort
night ago.
The expression "to cut the
Cordian knot" li believed to
have originated in the ancient
city of Gordium, capital of the
Asia Minor kingdom of Phrygia.
Goed Old Nightstick
Restored to Police
Canton, O. U.R) The night
stick is back as standard equip
ment for Canton patrolmen.
Abandoned more than 15 years
ago, the plain old hickory clubs
have been issued to foot patrol
meal and are being carried in
crilTscrs of the uniformed shift.
IK recent years, only the
blackjack has been carried by
policemen for use in subduing
toughs and belligerent individu
als. The blackjack is smaller
and easier to carry, but its size
is also a disadvantage.
"The night stick gives a man
about 20 additional inches of
reach, which means a lot when
he runs into trouble," Chief J.
B. Quilligan explained. "It is
particularly valuable to the foot
patrolman, who generally is
alone when trouble starts.
75 YEARS, ONE BOSS
Oslo. Norway U.R) Ninety-year-old
Wilhehiemo Thigucs,
Norwegian housemaid, has set a
record for long service 75 years
in the same house.
Communist Battle
May Be Impending
Hong Kong, Apr. 12 (U.R
The communist New China news
agency said today that commun
ist troops had taken over the
British barracks in Peiping
Tuesday morning.
Diplomatic sources said the
move was "not very surprising"
since the communists previously
had occupied the American,
French and Dutch barracks on
grounds they were not entitled
to diplomatic immunity.
The barracks area is made up
of 20 acres adjacent to the Brit
ish consulate compound. Three
hundred British troops, who
made up the legation guard, liv
ed there formerly.
Fluorescent lamps now burn
.seven times longer than incan
descent light bulbs. Their 7,500
hour rated life means that the
average tubular lamp will light
a schoolroom for at leant eight
years before it must be replaced.

Governor Suggests
Employers Excuse
Guards for Camp
Salem Ore., Apr. 12 (U.R)
Gov. Douglas McKay today asked
employers to allow Oregon na
tional guardsmen to attend na
tional guard encampment with
out prejudice to their civilian
work.
In a statement to the press
Gov. McKay said: "These are
critical times for our govern
ment. With the knowledge that
the national guard and the air
national guard represent the
backbone of our, national prepar
edness, I earnestly call upon all
employers in Oregon to release
their employees who are nation
al guardsmen for two weeks dur
ing the summer, in order that
they may become better trained
to do the job our government
will ask of them in case of na
tional emergency."
Some Give Full Pay
Mai. Gen. Thomas E. Rilca,
adjutant general of Oregon, said
many employers were granting
military leave to their person
nel with full pay. Other employ
ers not in a position to follow
this program are being asked to
grant annual vacation leaves
during this period. Gen. Rilca
said he has no authority to ex
cuse national guardsmen from
attending camp except for fam
ily emergencies or under most
unusual circumstances.
All Oregon national guard
units will attend camp from June
10 to 24 this year. The 41st in
fantry division will move by
truck and train to Fort Lewis.
Wash. The Oregon air national
guard will fly to Walla Walla,
Wash., for the two-week period.
Oregon and Washington anti-air
craft artillery will train at Camp
Clatsop near Seaside, Ore.
Rules on Children
Working on Farms
Changed by Law
Portland, Apr. 12 Two
amendments to the child labor
provisions of the fair labor stand
ards act now give children in
agriculture the full protection of
the act during school hours if
the crop is for interstate com
merce, it was pointed out here
today by Madison R. Smith, in
vestigation supervisor of the
wage and hour and public con
tracts divisions, United States
department of labor, in Oregon
and Idaho.
"Within the next few weeks,
many children will be taken out
of classrooms to help with the
spring farm work," he said. "If
the farm produces crops for in
terstate commerce, and is not
the home farm, prospective em
ployers are warned that regula
tions regarding employment of
children under 16 years old in
agriculture are different than
they were last spring.
Rules Different
"Before the wage and hour
law was amended, employment
of such children on farms was
Dermitted when the child was
was legally required to attend
school. Now, children under 16
may be employed in agriculture
only outside of the school hours
for the school district where
they are living.
"The new provisions do not
prevent employment of such
children during school vacations,
on holidays or after school hours.
Nor do they interfere in any way
with the right of a parent to em
ploy his own child on the home
farm. They apply only to em
ployment on farms, other than
the parents' farm, that produce
crops for interstate commerce."

"Law enforcement is a cooper
ative function. We are going to
have the kind of enforcement
the people want, and they cannot
expect the best unless there are
good officers adequately paid.
This was the keynote of an ad
dress by Robert L. Murphy, new
special agent in charge of the
Portland office of the federal bu
reau of investigation before the
luncheon meeting this week of
the Medford Rotary club.
Murphy described the scope of
FBI activities in the nation, and
stressed the bureau's concern
over increasing juvenile delin
quency. Growth Told
The FBI computed 52 officers
in 1924 when J. Edgar Hoover,
then a young attorney, became
bureau chief, Murphy said, but
today more than 4.200 agents
are unable to handle properly
the expanded functions of the
highly efficient law enforcement
body. Approximately 114 mil
lion fingerprints are on file in
the FBI identifiction depart
ment, and , 700,000 criminal
prints were received last year
alone. In 1930 the bureau's labor
atory for law enforcement aid
to all types of police officers was
organized. Candidates for FBI
agents must have high qualifica
tions and undergo an intensive
12 week course at Washington
and Quantico, Va., Murphy re
ported. Special instruction also is
given to other law enforcement
officers to qualify them for po
lice instruction.
The crime picture In the
United States, described by Mur
phy, is not a pretty one. In 1949
a total of 1,763.290 major
crimes were committed in this
country one every 18 seconds.
The increase last year was 4.5
per cent, presenting an alarm
ing problem to the nation, he
said.
Especially dark is the Increas
ing incidents of juvenile crime.
Murphy told Rotarians. Among
the contributing factors he listed
poor home conditions, which in
clude broken homes, ignorance,
neglect, poverty, and the fact

Three New Teacher
Employed by Board
The board of directors of the
Medford school district last night
elected three new primary teach
ers, discussed landscaping pro
posals for all school buildings in
the system and allowed bills
amounting to $28,461.88.
The board unanimously ap
proved the election of Mrs. Ethel
Chastain, Miss Geneva Coulter
and Miss Margaret Cotter to
teaching posts in the city's
elementary schools.
Most of the meeting was de
voted to a discussion of land
scaping recommendations sub
mitted by an Ashland landscape
architect. The board agreed that
most of the proposals were well
taken and will seek cost esti
mates on a detailed planting pro
gram before further steps arc
taken. A landscaping project
continuing over many years was
considered the most economical
procedure to improve the appear
ances and efficiency of the six
school grounds.
