Committee members rallied around a subcommittee report recommending legalization of union operated hiring halls m the maritime industry. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D., Minn.) said that "we hope to get action on a bill this year. But he was not optimistic. The move represents the first serious attempt by a group of administration democrats to amend a part of the Taft-Hartley act. Up to this point, they have insisted that the whole measure be scrapped in favor of a re vised Wagner law put in Its place. Motorcyclist Hurt In Crash Near City Three persons were hurt Fri day hight when a motorcycle i . uiey were nunig cuuiueu wnu A car near Matlack s market, ac- cording to reports of Conger 1 I Morris ambulance service and state Dolice. Miss Barbara Cook. 18, and Miss Ruth Cook, 17, of 62 Winema drive, and Bernard Hukill, 19, route 1, box 383, were released after treatment at Sacred Heart hospital, it was said. They were taken to the hospital by Conger-Morris ambu lance. Driver of the car was Clarence R. Redhead, route 2, box 572. On the Side-8 B v 0ur,in9 (Dlttrlhuttel by Kb fceturee Syndicate lnoj IIMIMMIMIIItllMlltHi,,,),! Recently I referred to the New York Infirmary, which is a hospital staffed entirely by feminine physicians and tur geons. I wondered if its staff had any beautiful red-haired doctors. I further stated I had heard of beautiful red-haired doctors but had never seen one. Well, anyway, I have been in vited to have luncheon at the Hospitality Shop of the New York Infirmary where I will be offered an opportunity to meet not only all the red-haired doc tors but all the red-haired nurses! Best Singer "You report that In the yester-year in Florida there was held a singing contest between a nightingale and a mocking bird," writes a Brooklynite. "And that the mocking bird was declared the winner. No doubt it was a just decision. However, a starling is a better and more versatile singer than a mocking bird. A starling can imitate twenty-eight different bird calls and often goes straight through its repertoire just for the fun of it." Pleas Not., Am asked what film actress was scalded by a hotel shower bath and won a damage suit as a result. That was Juanita Han sen. Happened some years ago. Juanita turned the handle marked cold and the shower bath poured forth scalding hot water. She was seriously in jured and was awarded a large sum as damages. Believe it was around 5100,000. Asking Queries from Clients: Q Were you really born in Brook lyn or it that a gag? A. I was born in New York City. My fam ily moved t6V Brookly when I was 7 years old. I am a graduate of Public School No. 2 and Com mercial High School. Brooklyn. Q. Has there ever been a four horse dead heat in this country? A. No, sir, but there was one in England many years ago in a five-horse race. I am away from my records so cannot give you the details of this finish now. Will do so later. Asides Do you claim to have a good memory as to films of the yes teryear? Deanna Durbjn was one of the trio of actresses playing the title role in "Three Smart Girls." Who were the other two? And what three actresses played in the film "Sally, Irene and Mary '? . . . Ever hear of a drink called a "Tamais Blush"? It is popular in Jamaica and is said to be extremely potent, consisting of rum, Cointreau, vodka and bitters. Sidelights Somehow or other I missed seeing the film "All the King's Men" until last night. It is a marvelous picture on the sub ject of politics, but not in my opinion as good as "The Great McGinty" in which Brian Don levy was featured some years agon. . . . There are fourteen towns and cities in the U. S. A. named Brooklyn. There were fifteen, but in 1922 the name of Brooklyn, Fla., was changed to Keystone Heights. The popula tion of Keystone Heights is one hundred and seven. Barbaric Event Note the Liverpool Grand Na tional Steeplechase referred to as a "barbaric event." I am in IMIMMMMMM IIIMIfilMIIMl.

Veterinarians are posted at the principal jumps, prepared to humanely destroy" injured horses. This year, forty-nine horses started in the Grand Na tional. Only seven finished. The horses that broke their legs were, of course, "humanely de stroyed." Yes, sir, the Grand Na tional is truly a barbaric event. It is almost as bad as a bull fight in so far as cruelty to ani mals is concerned. Briefly Why do the British adhere to the ancient "stone" system when mentioning weights? They say, for example, that a certain woman weights "eight ston e four pounds." Why not get to the point quickly and say 116 pounds? . . . Australian men are said to prefer tall and gen erously proportioned girls rath er than cute little tricks. May be something to this. I see that the current "Miss Australia" is a honey blonde weighing 130 pounds. Her height is 5 feet 6 inches. Hips, 33 inches. Waist, 24 inches. Oregon Road Needs Listed $50, Year by Committee La Grande, Ore., Apr. 29 (U.R) The state interim high way committee believes Oregon's highway needs will cost 550,000, 000 a year for the next 15 years. Sen. Paul Patterson, Hills toro, listed state revenues for highway use at a current an nual level of S40.000.000, with another S3.000.000 received an nually from the federal gov ernment. "That leaves us about ST, 000, 000 short if we are to continue the highway program during the next 15 years, according to pres ent known needs," Patterson said. Making Up Deficit Patterson said the committee planned to make its recommen dations to the legislature on means of making up the deficit this fall after a major meeting in Portland. He said the committee's tour of the state indicated some areas were "badly in need of more funds, while others have been less damaged by winter condi tions." The committee in its meeting here was headed by Chairman Ralph Moore, Coos Bay, and in cluded Rep. Max M. Landon, Sweet Home, Rep. Edward Geary, Klamath Falls, and Ar thur F. Harvey, Salem, public utilities commission representative.

College Graduates In State To Find Job Finding Tough Salem, Ore., Apr. 29 (U.R) The record number of college graduates in Oregon this year will find the competition for jobs stiffer than at any time since be fore the last World War, the state unemployment compensa tion commission predicted today. The commission said it is mak ing extensive plans to register students and to list suitable Job openings through its 29 local em ployment offices. Nearly 6,000 young men and women will be graduated from Oregon's 17 institutions of higher learning in the next few weeks, the commission noted. And prob ably half of them will be active ly seeking work, a survey just completed by the Multnomah county veterans' committee indi cated. Students Lin Up The committee is cooperating with the state employment serv ice in the campaign for job open ings. Many students have lined, up their future activity but the proportion of those hired in ad vance is materially below recent years. Earl Lovell. state director of the employment service, said: "As a clearing house for em ployers adding to their forces and for thousands of workers just entering the labor market, the employment service hopes to broaden its area of useful ness." Advance registration of gradu ating students still unplaced is Sunday, April 30. 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN already under way at several lo cal offices. These records, includ ing actual experience, basic training and job preference, will be forwarded to offices nearest the students home town wheth er in Oregon or some nearby state.
