Editorial Correspondence
New York City, N. Y June 9 Back on the super-highway,
everything passing the Medford conveyance from gas trucks to
Austins, but unlike some of them we did not get a ticket.
Speed limits from Boston to New York are posted in large
type, and vary from 35 to 55 per hour. We failed to see any type
ot motor vehicle making less than 00, and the average was around
75. From White Plains into New York on the Hudson Parkway
the traffic was dense and the motor cops busy.
We would not care for their jobs. They had to barge into that
hell-bent mass of metal, tail their victims, wave them into a "re
pair" parking space, and get themselves and the defendants out
of the mess without a fatality. Not an easy thing to do!
a a
Once upon a time we lived five years in the state of Massa
chusetts. We can't recall being impressed very much by the state's
scenic beauty. But we were this time. The number of small lakes
or large ponds if you prefer scattered all over the place were
Darticularly noticeable and attractive. We remembered Fresh and
Pomp ponds back in "the good old days, but no recollection of
scores of them tucked away in the thickly wooded landscape, like
sapphires set in rich emerald plusn or suMtining! uney looicea
very "fishable" too).

"We would like to see"
r.onornl r.pnr Marshall in the White House.
We would ereatlv Drefer
grant he would not be as good a politician or as potent vote
getter. He would be something the country greatly needs now and
will probably need even more as time goes on a man of ability,
courage, great wisdom, and complete unselfishness. We don't know
whether he is a Democrat or Republican and would not care. He
is one of the very few genuinely GREAT men in the country to
day who in any crisis, would do what he believed best for his
country and the world, regardless of all personal and partisan
considerations. A rare type!
We are clad to learn William Remington, suspected Com
merce rieriartment employee has
special grand jury, following his denial before that jury a month
ago that he was not, and never had been a member of the Com
munist party. We would like to see all other federal suspects
brought before this, or similar juries, and if evidence warrants,
Inrilrtments returned. Or if sufficient evidence could not be pro
duced then let the suspects return
bill of health.
Tn other words we would like
ty" cases taken out of politics and put into the courts where they
belong where all the facts can be produced by both sides, where
the prosecution and defense will have the same opportunity to be
heard, and a decision reached based upon those facts the truth
and not upon hysteria or hearsay.
Pleased on our return to find a "call" from Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Carnenter of "Tonsides" who are staying at the "Ritz" en
route to Cambridge for a rather unusual occasion. Their son. Har
low, is to graduate from Harvard, "Al" is to attend his "45th"
class reunion, and the eldest son of the family, "Dunbar." is to
attend his 50th." Three "Carps", all loyal sons of the same alma
mater, gathering together on their respective class days wonder
if the strawberries will be as luscious and sweet and huge as they
were on a similar occasion some four and one-half decades ago!
Later, Mr. and Mrs. Al who never looked better held a
Medford reunion alongside the "duck pond" at the Ritz, Mr. and
Mrs. Harlow flew down from Cambridge and a nice time was had
by all. "Ye Editor" got all the latest news from the valley and
most of it good or at least not bad enough to print.

It is really starting to warm up now and rather a relief after
the cold, wet spring.

Man With Power
Of Stare Control
Object of Hunters
London iU.R) A man who
apparently was able to knock
down an object such as a vase
by staring at it is being sought
by research workers who lost
trace of him during the war.
The man is a German and lives
somewhere near Munich but the
experimenters said they were
reluctant to make public his
name for fear the publicity
might frighten him away from
further study.
Scientists both in Paris and in
London were interested in the
man before the war and in both
places he was able, thev sav. on
several occasions to displace an
object placed well outside his
reach by going into a sort of
trance marked by abnormally
rapid breathing.
Although elaborate precau
tions were taken at the time to
ensure that there was no fraud,
the British experimenters, mem
bers of a private study group,
said they wanted to repeat the
tests with the most modern elec
tronic detection equipment.
Blocked By nays
In one pre-war instanct In
Paris an infra-red ray field was
set up between the man and the
object he was trying to displace.
Although he did not succeed
in knocking it down or moving
it. instruments showed he had
achieved a marked disturbance
in the infra-red ray field.
That, it was decided, could
have been caused by some force
"exteriorized" or pushed out by
the man.
French physicists were deeply
interested but the man claimed
the experiments were wearing
nun out and went back to Ger
many. He was planning to return
when the war broke out.

Crawl Through Obstacles

By FRANK JENKINS
About ail anyone can be sure
of after the complicated Califor
nia Drimarv election is tiiat the
republiuens wanted Warren, the
; democrats wanted Jimmy Roose-
velt and nobodv much wanted
any more of Attorney-General
Howser.
DACK in the good old farm
state of Iowa, the democrats
have nominated Albert J. Love
land as their candidate for sen
ator this fall. Loveland cam
paigned for the Brannan plan.
Iowa republicans renominated
Senator Hickenlooper. who says
he has no use whatever for the
Brannan plan.
That seems to guarantee a po
litical test of the Brannan plan s
popularity in one of the nation's
biggest farm areas.
MEANWHILE the senate passes
a bill authorizing an addi
tional TWO BILLIONS for gov
ernment support for farm prices
under the existing system of buy
ing up surpluses in order to keep
prices up. If the house goes along
and the president signs the bill,
that will raise to six and three
quarter billions the amount we
will have invested in surpluses of
certain "basic" crops.
THE trouble with the present
system of farm support is that
in years of surplus production it
doesn't bring low prices to the
consumer, thus INCREASING
CONSUMPTION. The Brannan
plan would let prices find their
own level on the markets and if
the level was too low to enable
the farmer to earn a "fair"
profit it would pay him a sub
sidy out of the treasury.
Both plans are a part of what
old timers are convinced is a
screwbailed economy, and may
be the Brannan plan has some
advantages, but every time I
think of paying somebody a sub
sidy out of the treasury to make
up the difference between what
he earns and WHAT HE THINKS
HE OUGHT TO EARN it gives
me the shivers.
BUT HECK, let's get away from
these headache-inducing sub
jects and talk about life as it is
lived in these modern days.
Down in Van Nuys (California)
the other day, a 23-year-old swain
robbed a bank to "prove his
love" for his sweetheart. She was
a taxi dancer in a public ball
room and as long as his dough
held out he monopolized her
dances. It cost him from S50 to
S70 per evening. When his fi
nancial well ran dry he went
out and robbed a bank to get
the funds to go on with his pro
gram. The girl, however, was a better
man than he was, Gunga Din.
When she found out what had
happened, she turned him in to
the cops and he's now held on
$7500 bond pending action by a
federal grand Jury.
The women, you see. ARE sta

whose putt-putt, he says, drives
him nuts. He wants to know if
something can't be done about it
under the town's ordinance for
bidding nuisance noises.
By the way:
Do you reckon the guy might
possibly have a barking dog or
yowling cat?
If so, it would weaken his case
against the power lawnmower
owners.

It is quite a story.
Hone Farmed Out
Johnny Webster, a lawyer
member of the club, accepted
a sleek, black gelding in lieu of
a fee in a court martial case.
Having no room for a horse on
his little place in Virginia, John
ny farmed Trigger out to his
friend, Navy. Capt. W al t e r
Karig.
Karig's pretty 23-year-old
daughter, Keating, put a pretty
leg over the black beauty and
soon discovered it was a fancy
jumper. U n d-e r pressure, she
agreed to invade the Press club
stag party and put the beast
over the hurdles.
Well. sir. the other day Trig
ger kicked open the door of the
paddock, pumped his hind legs
and disappeared into the woods.
Jonnny s unhappy over losing
what amounted to his fee. The
Karigs are unhappy and Keating
is heart-broken.
The Press club isn't very
happy, either, having billed the
horse and its lovely rider as one
of the chief attractions.

Ryan is wearing a sly grin. He

Navy Electronics
Unit Here To Be
Northwest's 1st
The minimum personnel re
quirement for the formation of a
naval reserve electronics com
pany was filled at a meeting of
lurmer navy men nere last night.
Lt. Henry Fisher, USNR, who
has been active in the formation
of the unit, said it is believed the
Medford unit will be the first
to be activated in the entire Pa
cific northwest. "We feel that
it is a t r i b u t e to men of the
Rogue valley that the area can
claim this distinction," he said.
A request was sent to the com
mander of ' the 13th naval dis
trict last night requesting imme
diate activation.
Registration Monday
Prelim i n a r y registration of
men intending to join the unit
will be made next Monday night
when the group holds its regular
meeting at the Federal building,
Lieutenant Fisher said. The week
following, Lt. T. H. Pierce, dis
trict naval procurement officer,
will attend to explain final de
tails before the company is acti
vated. While the major portion of the
enlisted ratings have been filled,
openings still exist for seamen
recruit3, the naval officer said.
Purpose of the unit will be to
provide training for new men as
well as give former naval per
sonnel a chance to advance. New
men will have the opportunity
to choose the field in which they
are most interested radio, ra
dar, sonar, or electronics.
Because of the relativly small
complement of the unit, assign
ment will be on a first-come,
first-served basis, Lt. Fisher said.
Men intending to apply for bil
lets are advised to be present at
next Monday's meeting to assure
that a position will be available.
