Washington's famed cherry blossoms out late this year and now will

beauty of the Washington Monument.
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."

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.

list of approximately 150 young
sters at the present time, Feast
said.
Feast said the new building
would accommodate a maximum
of 65 student-patients as com
pared with the 30-student capac

hoped that in the near future the
accommodations can be expand

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.
