Ban On Interstate Shipping Of Slot Machines Approved By Senate Commerce Group Washington, Apr. 12 (U.R) The senate interstate commerce committee today unanimously approved a justice department proposal which would ban inter state shipment of slot machines and other gambling devices. The committee gave its ap proval just eight days after Chairman Edwin C. Johnson (D., Colo.) introduced the bill at the request of Attorney General J. Howard McGrath. Boost by Hoover The bill includes the recom mendations of the attorney gen eral's recent conference on law nforcement. FBI Director J. Ed gar Hoover gave the proposal a strong boost before the house appropriations committee. The bill would prohibit the ihipment of gambling devices in interstate commerce except in ttates where such devices are legal. The committee approved the "one-armed-bandit" bill as sen ate democratic leaders guaran teed early senate action on legis lation to set up a special five man group to conduct a $150,000 Investigation into the operation of interstate crime syndicates. The bill would require manu facturers of gambling devices to register with the collector of in ternal revenue and furnish monthly sales reports. Gambling devices themselves would have to be numbered so that author ities could keep tab on them. Subject to Jail, Fine Violators of the provision for bidding shipment of gambling devices could be subject to two years in jail, a S5.000 fine, or both. Manufacturers who failed to register their products and mark their shipments could re ceive a $2,000 fine and a one year jail sentence. The committee bill is one of two justice department propos als which stemmed from the re cent crime conference. A com merce sub-committee begins hearings Monday on the other proposal which would forbid in terstate transmission of "certain gambling information." PlanlsMafHoFd Scientific Secrets Philadelphia, Apr. 13 ;U.R) Science must turn its attention to plants to tap an enormous amount of natural resources still unexplored, the American Chem ical society was told today. Prof. A. J. Haagen-Smit of the California Institute of Techno logy told the society's 117th na tional meeting that "only a few per cent" of the quarter million plants listed by scientists have been taken apart chemically and tested to see what valuable pro ducts they might yield. He listed as an example his 20 years of research on flavorings, perfumes and other essential oils recognized by the S1.000 Fritzche prize given him at the conven tion by the society. Kiwanians Praised For Local Club's Children's Work Russell Kurtz, Coos Bay, Ki wanis lieutenant governor, yes terday lauded Medford Kiwan ians for an underprivileged chil dren's program he termed out standing. He spoke at Rogue Valley Country club. He declared that the Medford club's program for less fortunate youngsters was the best in its division and perhaps the top one in the Pacific northwest district. 'It Does Things' Kurtz also commended the club for its other activities, say ing, "It does things." The lieu tenant governor said that he is using the Medford club as an example for other clubs in the division this year and that as a result the other organizations have made marked gains in at tendance and activities. Medford Kiwanians ranked first in the division for attendance during the last half of 1949, Kurts re ported. Kurtz presented to Ray F. Baker a certificate from Kiwanis International praising him for his work as president of the Med ford club last year. Trophy Displayed, The Bill Bowerman trophy, which Kiwanians are donating for the annual Rogue relays here Saturday, was displayed at the meeting. Bob Newland, Medford track coach, related information concerning this annual track meet held at the Medford senior high field. The Kiwanis club is also supplying ribbons for event winners. Seth Bullis on behalf of the club presented a gift to Mrs. Alice Crow, who is leaving her hostess position at the country club to enter the employ of the Jackson County Federal Savings and Loan association. 51 -Year Record Set In Church Attendance Ohio City, O. (U.R) Marion Snyder, 79, believes he has set a good record for church attend ance. This year Snyder rounded out 51 years of perfect church attendance, a total of 2.604 Sun days, at St. Peters Evangelical United Brethren church, one mile west of his home. Snyder began attending church six years earlier but missed three bundays in that period. Snyder has never held an of ficial position in the church nor has he taught a Sunday school class. He pointed out, however, that boredom is not limited to the female side of the family. He noted that wife-beating cases al ways increase during strikes when the men are idle and do not have their work to occupy their minds.

Funds sufficient to start con- Northwest Supplies Nation with Fruit Most of the national carlot shipments of apples and pears originate in Pacific northwest shipping districts, according to the weekly tree fruits and nut crops review prepared by the Oregon State college extension service. Last week 671 carloads of apples were shipped in the coun try by rail and all but 13 cars were from Washington and Ore gon. Total pear shipments by rail were 63 carloads all but five from Oregon and Washing ton. California markets take part of the apples and pears shipped from the northwest but cold storage holdings of the fruits in California were smaller than a year ago, the extension service reported. Some pears are arriving in the United Mates irnm the south ern hemisphere. On April 18 4,730 boxes of pears are due to arrive in New York from Buenos Aires. A shipment of 2,076 boxes of pears left Capetown, South Africa, for New York, on March 14. struction are already on hand. Feast explained, but additional funds are in the process of be ing raised by an interested group in Eugene. The Easter Sale agen cy will provide the administra tion and trained therapists to staff the school. Building Described The building will be located on a six-acre tract of on Donald street, between 34th and 37th avenues, and will cover approxi mately 4,000 square feet. It will be a single story structure of frame and masonry. There will be considerable window space, plus a 10 by 45 foot glassed-in play area and a series of classrooms and therapy treatment rooms. Dormitory fa cilities are planned as an addi tion in the future. "We will have one of the fin est hospital schools of its kind in the country when completed," Feast said. "There is certainly a real need for such a facility in the state of Oregon." The hospital school Is open to children from throughout the state. Bed, Not Pills, Found Best Cure for Colds Minneapolis (U.R) If experi ence makes experts, you can take the word of Minnesotans that the best way to cure a cold is to go to bed. Fourty-four per cent have one or two colds. Seven per cent have only one cold but it lasts all winter, they say. The cure prescribed most oft en, or in 33 per cent of the cases, was to "go to bed." Pills and cold tablets were the answer of 24 per cent and chest rubs of 21 per cent. One fifth of those questioned said: "Do nothing. Let it run its course.
