Andover, Mass., June 4 One reason for motoring up her
from New York was to get out of the rain. It was Ok coming up
a "rare flay in June as tne poet remarked put it started to ram
last evening and is still coming down much to the Medford delega
tion's disgust.
Yes, what Is so rare as a day in June WHEN the sun shines!
We left New York about 9 a. m.. not a cloud in the sky and
super-two-lane highway to Hartford, Connecticut and almost as
eood eoiniz from there to Worcester. Massachusetts.
These super motor highways in the east, by the way, will prob
ably be spread all over the country in another decade. Governor
Dewey is planning one now from New York direct to Buffalo.
They are toil roads self sustaining they go around, not
through the large centers of population, but with connecting
"feeders.
There are no intersections, either with other highways or
railroads over, or under passes eliminate them so these modern
highways provide practically a straight ' shoot to any destination
one may select with one-way traffic all the way.
Barring trouble, therefore, tne only stop even slowdown
is necessary when one needs gas, or has to pay tolls. The latter,
incidentally, are surorisinElv small only three toll stations from
79th street in New York to Hartford ten cents each, a total of 30
cents. This is not only cheap for deluxe transportation, but quite
properly places the upkeep on those who use tne highway, not tne
hard-pressed taxpayers.
Another reason for coming ud here was an Invitation to attend
the ending of Andover clubs which was extended to all former
alumni members, rne trustees and lacuny ot tne Academy recently
voted unanimously to request the dissolution of these "hush hush
fraternities on the ground they were undemocratic and injurious
to the morale of the school. All the clubs obeyed the request and
turned over their real estate and clubhouses to the academy to be
used as the school authorities may wish.
We had visions of renewing acquaintance witn at least one oi
the oldsters of half a century ago, but in this we suffered a keen
disappointment. No one attended the obsequies who were within
10 or is years oi tne turn ot tne century so mis anticipated teature
of the program was a complete washout.
There were compensations, however.
A stroll around the campus and village undoubtedly one of
the most imposing in the country, prep school or college brought
up many pleasant memories and a renewed realization ot wnat
American education owes to the much maligned capitalistic profit
system.
Then there was the annual Andover-Exeter baseball game
which Andover won as USUAL. It was no walk-away, however.
Two errors by Exeter, directly accounted for Andover's two runs
the linal score, Andover i, fcxeler u. l nere was a good crowd dui
none of the rowdy excitement of the old days.
Before the rain we motored over to Salem and Marblehead
the former famous for its witches and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Haw
thorne wrote "The Scarlet Letter." the "House of Seven Gables."
and many other tales which we suspect no one reads today, but
were required reading 50 years aRO. There is a statue of Author
Hawthorne in the city square and a llirwtnorne notoi nearDy.
But both Salem and Marblehead the latter to a lesser degree
have, unlike Andover, deteriorated with the passing of the years.
Salem, especially, has seen better days, and whoever set out the
tourist siRns within and near the city should be put in the stocks
by the chamber of commerce, and held up 'to public scorn by the
Humdingers of the community if any. Salem is almost as sadistic
in this direction as Providence, K. 1.
Later:
Boston, Mass., June 5 The rain is over a beautiful sunny
day but surprisingly cool with a breeze from the Atlantic. Motor
ing here, called on the F. Corning Kenlys junior and family at
Manchester-by-the-Sea, and the Dunbar Carpenters at Winchester.
The Harlow Carpenters of Medford visiting the latter Harlow is
studying architecture at Harvard which is only eiRht miles distant.
All well in both families and pleasant converse enjoyed "al fresco"
with happy reminiscences of the "greatest little valley" in the
world.
At the Kenlys an Interesting sidelight on modern travel de
veloped two of the young men present (neighbors) left in their
private plane after lunch, planning to drop in on friends in Maine
and Rhode Island before returning tor sunoay supper.
It was slow and tiresome motoring into Boston with the
balmy weather bringing a terrific procession of motorcars on all
the arterial highways.
e e
The last time we visited Boston, ex-mayor Curley just con
victed of fraud and misuse of the U. S. mails, was greeted with
wild enthusiasm by his loval political supporters as he arrived
from Washington, D. C, at Back Bay station. This time, the mayor,
recently pardoned by President Truman, was similarly greeted at
the Boston Cunard line pier Just back from six weeks in Europe
with his wife and son. Curley is in his mid-seventies, but is as
frisky, husky and self-assured as a man nan tnat age, iuii oi vim,
vigor and wearing jauntily a beret he purchased while attending
the Catholic celebration in Rome.
Here is a striking example of vice being rewarded and the
inability, at times, of keeping a BAD man down!
e e e
The American Mother of 1950 a Chippewa Indian from West
Lynn, Oregon is getting considerable favorable publicity in east
ern newspapers as the following from the Boston Traveler in
dicates: American Mother
The American mother of 1950, a sparkling Chippewa
Indian from West Lynn, Ore., gave the new Indian commis
sioner, Dillon Myer, some advice on a trip to Washington.
"Indians don't want to he treated like museum pieces,
but as Americans," Mrs. Elizabeth Roe Cloud told him.
"They need, above all, good schools and a chance to earn a
decent living. All we want is half a chance."
Myer, who won plaudits for his fair handling of Japanese
Americans during wartime, nodded.
"Indian children should go to public, rather than segre
gated schools," Mrs. Cloud continued. "We are Americans
first, and Indians second."
This hit the mark with Myer. who privntely agrees that
big Western land owners and government bureaucrats with
cushy Jobs In the Indian Bureau have fostered the idea that
Indians are helpless children of another age.
"Let the tribal councils take a greater part In running
Indian affairs." Mrs. Cloud continued. "It is far, far better
for them to mnke a few mistakes at first than for Washing
ton to say, 'You are no good. White men must run your
liV"'-" -R.W.R.
I'm in Just as much of s quandry now as I was when
I started In the first grade. I don't know whether lo be
a policeman or a fireman."

The D.U.V. Dance
To the Editor: I do not know
who is the reporter on the Camp
White dances but thought he or
she gave the D.U.V. dance of
May 29 more than special re
port. However, no neckties were
given but cigarettes, ash trays,
etc.. and a real automobile was
given by Mr. Carter (not of liver
pill fame). We honored Mr. Sears'
new umpire (baby that is), gave
Mr. Kelley of bronze plaque
fame, the man who never gets
enough to eat, an oyster cracker,
toothpick and thimble to go
get filled with Ice tea.
The whole affair was clean
fun, given to laughs as was in
tended to be and got its name
"Fun and Frolic." I don't think
anyone was disgraced. 1 saw a
man laugh I hadn't seen smile in
three months.
As a daughter of a union vete
ran who loved fun I take full re
sponsibility for the party and
want no reflections cast on the
order of the D.U.V. as it did not
contribute anything, financially
or otherwise. I thank the Indie's
who attended and assisted by
bringing some refreshments.
Yours for more laughs and less
sick calls and doctor bills.

Washington. June 8 Coneress
has adopted a new technique for
handling appropriations this
year. Instead
of having ap
pro p r i a tion
b 1 1 Is handled
i n d i vidually,
they are group
ing them all
together i n a
"one package''
ap propriations
bill.
The idea is
being received
with mixed re
action on capitol hill, and Sen.
Guy Cordon's sentiments toward
the system is probably typical.
Sen. Guy Cordon, as a mem
ber of the senate appropriations
committee, is as much an auth
ority on the system as anyone.
He has spent a good share of his
time during the past few months
working with the "one package"
bill.
Excellent in Theory
He maintains that in theory
the one-package approach is ex
cellent. At the same time he is
the first to admit that the new
system is creating a real head
ache insofar as the mechanics
are concerned.
Basically Cordon believes that
we must start economizing. He
sees no justification for deficit
financing. But the big problem,
as he sees it, is making the cuts
on the merits instead of arbitrary
cuts across the board.
It is Cordon's position, how
ever, that the one-package sys
tem, when perfected, will pre
sent an easier medium for
comparing the merits of one
appropriation against another,
thus permitting cuts on the
merits.
He also fears that congress, by
having the total appropriation
before them in one big dollop,
will be more aware of the need
for economizing.
Primary Post Mortems
On April 17, over a month
before the Oregon primary, two
Oregon congressmen gave this
reporter their estimates on how
the republican vote for the sen
atorship nominee would be
divided.
To these amateur pollsters,
Sen. Wayne Morse's smashing
victory came as no surprise. Rep.
Harris Ellsworth predicted that
Morse would get 60 per cent of
the total vote cast, while Rep.
Walter Norblad estimated a 58
per cent tally for colleague
Morse.
Both Norblad and Ellsworth
have proven themselves to be
able political prognosticators be
cause their forecasts were al
most on the nose. On the basis
of the incomplete information
available here, Morse received
approximately 60 per cent of
the vote cast.
John McBride's showing was
tne Biggest. upset of the election,
according to their estimates.
They figured McBride would
pull between 2 and 3 per cent
of the vote cast, but actually the
ex-miner from Idaho received
nearly 10 per cent of the total
republican vote.
"Bloody Shirt" Carson, for
merly Mayor of Portland, and
until recently a maritime com
missioner, is now out of a job.
Under one of the recent govern
ment re-organization plans which
was put into eitect, the mari
time commission was literally
abolished. Its duties were trans
ferred to the transportation sec
tion of the department of
commerce.

Deadline Saturday
For Candidates .
For School Board
Aspirants for the office of
Medford school board director
were reminded today that they
have only until Saturday noon,
June 10, for the filing of nomin
ating petitions at fhe school of
fice at the city hall. Tuesday,
June 13, is the last day for fil
ing acceptance of nomination.
To date only one candidate,
Dunbar Carpenter, has filed for
the vacancy that will be created
by expiration of Director John
P. Moffat's five-year term.
It was revealed yesterday that
a petition bearing 150 names had
been presented some days ago
urging Moffatt to seek re-election.
The latter, however, said
he will adhere to his original de
cision not to run, as increasing
business responsibilities are tak
ing more and more of his time.
Moffatt has been a member of
the board of directors since
January, 1940.
Ashland. June 8 Robert J.
Hutchinson, Ashland, will seek
election to the board of school
district No. 5 here, at the elec
tion June 19. He is a candidate
for the board position now held
by Paul R. Finnell, chairman,
who has announced he will not
seek re-election.
Salem Mayor Refuses
To Take Resignation
Of Fire Official
Salem, Ore.. June 8 (U.R)
Mayor R. L. Elfstrom said to
day he had refused to accept the
resignation of William P. Roble
as Salem's fire chief.
Elfstrom said he planned to
confer with Roble later today in
an effort to persuade him to re
consider his action.
Roble resigned Monday be
cause of what he called "d'isloy
ality" on the part of a minority
of fire department personnel.
Legless, Armless Yet
Becomes Bridegroom
Jacksonville, Fla., June 8
(U.R) Jimmy Wilson, whose cour
age made up for his loss of both
arms and legs, takes the great
est stride toward normal life
tonight when he becomes a bride
groom. The curly-haired air force
gunner will be married to Doro
try Mortenson, a television
model, his sweetheart of pre
war days when both attended
Jacksonville Junior college here.
He is 25 and she is 23.
One of two quadruple ampu
tees from World War II, Wilson
lost all his limbs as the result
of a wartime plane crash,
Wilson, a gunner on B-24,
was the only member of a nine
man crew to survive a crash
in the Vermont mountains in
1944. He was marooned in deep
snow for three days before help
could arrive and resulting se
vere frostbite necessitated am
putation of both arms and legs.
RESOLUTION DEFEATED
Geneva. Switzerland. June 8
U.R) The United Nations econo
mic commission for Europe to

sian resolution which accused
