Merchants Undecided On July 4 Closings There appears to be varied re action among Medford mer chants in regard to closing their stores on Monday, July 3. The Chamber of Commerce is getting some returns on a postcard poll it made last week In an effort to find out what the majority policy would be. Out of 100 cards mailed out asking. "Do you fnvor closing on Monday. July 3?" 65 have been returned. The majority of those replying to the question naire said they favored closing the stores the day before the Fourth, making it a three-day holiday. The vote In favor of closing was 54 to 22. Robert Agard. chairman of the retail trade committee of the chamber, said today that prob aly some stores will remain open and others will close.

P.. The distance from New York to Broad street, Philadelphia, is approximately 90 miles via the Pennsylvania railroad. One can get a train any time during the day on the hour or half-hour, with par lor cars, diner, air-cooled coaches, etc., reaching the Broad street station in one hour and a half, or 90 minutes. If our figuring is correct, that is an average oi a mile a minuie. ine last time we motored from New York to Philadelphia it took us three hours and we did not stop for anything but red lights. In "the eood old davs." (sav in the administration of James Monroe), it took stagecoaches anywhere from 24 to 36 hours de pending upon the schedule. So time marches on. And if so disposed the modern railroad, IF KEPT UP TO DATE, can successfully com pete wltn the motor car ana even me airpiane: in an in me TIMING. We were rielishted to learn over the radio that Benny Hogan did the impossible and in less than fatal smashup won the U.S. "Open" for the second time, ana Drone Ardmore par. The latter is almost as remarkable as the former, lor that Ardmore course is the toughest your correspondent has ever seen, and we don't overlook Pebble Beach or Cypress Point. The trouble with Ardmore is, one can't play safe. One has to be long and entirely on the beam or it's just too bad. The rough is a Jungle. There are more sand traps around the greens than flies in a Bowery barroom, the fairways are narrow and framed by the forest primeval, while there are nasty little creeks and abandoned stone quarries scattered over the place and all official hazards. As evidence of the toughness we followed Stranahan for a time also had a look see at "Skee" Riegel (he is a nephew, we believe, of the late and beloved Sprague Riegel of Medford). Stran ahan recently won the British amateur for the second' time and is probably the leading "simon-pure" in the country. But he ended the 72 hole grind, 26 over par! Riegel was some better but he was 14 over. As previously remarked no contestant, pro or amateur, came within seven strokes of par, for the four rounds. So Ben's 69 for the play-off 18 was indeed a triumph. Which is as it should be. We don't believe in all the history of golf, a man ever deserved to win the top title of the game, more than Ben Hogan did on Sat urday, and we doubt if ever a victory was more popular with the public. We also followed Jimmy Demaret of Ojai, Cal., a few holes Dcmaret was held up for some reason and came over to talk with Hogan at the seventh green. Jimmy was off his game he ended up 16 over par but he was taking it with a smile as usual, and also, as usual, his raiment matched his exuberant disposition. Jim my wore a very dark cypress green sports jersey, yellowish-green silk slacks, pea-green and tan shoes, and a white cap with a strange cupola on top! We never noticed it before but Demaret really bears a close resemblance to the late and lamented H. Chandler F.gnn of Med ford. except for his convex waistline "Chan" had a perfect 36 up to the very end. When we arrived at the Merion golf club we felt immediately at home. On the first tent to the left of the driveway was a large itn "MEDFORD'S Oualitv Frankfurters." We tried to get a bottle of Coke but hot-dogs were their It is a long time since we have heard of Bobby Cruickshank, the famous Scotch golfer who had that bizarre elbow-putting stance and was right up among the Well, he was on hand, a bit streaked with grey, but he shot a couple of 72's which we suspect is coming fairly close to shooting his age. We saw him make a scoop-shot out of a sand trap that nearly hit the cup, and with the case and grace of a college freshman. Like Demaret, we have an idea Bobby s easy-going temperament is a great asset, Dotn as to keeping his swing and his youth. We had foreotton what a beautiful city Philadelphia is in SPOTS, Out on the outskirts, for marvelous uolf club, there are one's eye out, lawns, trees and architecture, including the land scape. Unlike New York these beautiful country estates are not many hours away from the business district, but in the city or close to it the public parks are magnificent also. Incidentally, we have yet to see the Delaware river without at least one eight-oar surface.

M ORE from Washington: "Leaders from opposing camps agreed today that Senator Cam (Republican, from the state of Washington) will lose the first vote test in his strenuous one man campaign to kill off federal rent controls." THAT calls for some explain ing: The federal rent control law expires on the 30th of this month. That Is right smack in the middle of an even-numbered year in which ALL members of the house and a third of the members of the senate must face the voters. Nobody in Wash ington is quite sure whether rent control is popular with a ma jority of the voters in this year of 1M).

This bill would continue all present rent controls FOR SIX MONTHS FROM THE 30TH DAY OF JUNE 1950. It seems probable that most of the Democrats and a lot of the Republicans will vote for it. Why? Well, six months from the end of June. THE ELECTION WILL BE OVER and everybody in con- ?ress will be either out and done or or IN AND SAFE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER TERM. It will be time enough then to decide what OUGHT to be done about rent control. gCANDALOUS? No-o-o-o-o, not that bad. It's just a trifle disgusting. I suppose if you and I were in congress we'd be acting the same way, for after you've been elected to con gress THE BIGGEST THING IN THE WORLD, so far as vou are concerned, is to be RE-ELECTED.

Washington Report By Bob Dickey Washington, June 15 Sen. Wayne, Morse's position against extension of rent control has caused some comment. Peo ple are asking: Is the liberal re p u b 1 i c a n from Oregon abandoning his ideals for votes? To such queries, Morse merely scoffs. As a matter of fact, he says Bob Dickey voting against the extension will probably cost him some votes instead of gain him any. but that is not the issue. It is his position that the emer gency which existed on a nation wide scale in the past forced congress to put on rent controls. bince the emergency is no longer nationwide, but merely local, Morse feels congress has no license to legislate in the matter. Such legislation would be con trary to our constitutional form of government, he maintains. He does agree, however, that in the local areas where the emergency housing situation still exists, the controls should continue, but that is purely a local matter. It is of note that Morse sees eye to eye with that great con stitutional liberal. Chief Justice Holmes, on the rent control is sue. It was Holmes, in the Chas tleton Hotel Corp. case who held that a District of Columbia rent control law was unconstitution al. The basis for the decision was that the emergency s i t u a t ion caused by World War I which had originally justified the con trols no longer existed in 1924 when the litigation arose. This is precisely the Morse view on the issue today as applied on a nation-wide basis. The pitiful inadequacy of our By Roland Coe !., a CaMaHatu,. Tausaai CCj Alaskan and Western defenses is of much concern to Sen. Morse. There is ample reason to believe that the senator has tak en the problem directly to Presi dent Truman. Shortly after his arrival back in Washington at conclusion of his primary campaign. Sen. Morse had a conference with the president. The nature of the meeting has remained undis closed. It can be reliably reported, however, that this meeting was primarily to deal with bolster ing western defenses. When questioned about the meeting, Morse refused to com ment. But in answer to a direct question as to whether it was on our western defenses, Morse's rejoinder was: "I always keep my campaign pledges, don't I?" In that connection, it can be pointed out that Sen. Morse did repeatedly promise during his primary campaign to work un ceasingly for more adequate pro tection for the Northwest. Solomon Hearings When Dan Mahoney opened fire at the congressional hearing on Gus Solomon's appointment as federal district judge for Ore gon, he blew the affair wide open. Now. much to the chagrin of those who ran for cover, it Is apparent that Mahoney was only shooting blanks. The hearing on the appoint ment was to be held in Salt Lake City and the matter ended there. But Solomon did not appear at the Salt Lake meeting so one of the subcommittee members sug gested that Solomon be called back to Washington to appear before the committee in person before they closed the matter. The Washington hearing was to be strictly routine. The leg islators, however, and everyone else, were due for a big sur prise. Dan Mahoney, a law clerk to a judge in the court to which Solomon was appointed, appear- BLEEDING HEARTS have EYE APPEAL that's why you like them HOLSUM has TASTE APPEAL that's why you depend on Editorial Comment The Census Well, according to the census people there are 16.173 people living in Corvallis.

That the protester was a law clerk from the same court was amazing. And that he accused Solomon of being a communist completely blew the lid off of the whole proceedings. Mahoney's charges were of such a serious nature that the Senators demanded proof. Ma honey, however, did not have any first-hand information other than that Solomon was a mem ber of the commonwealth party during the late '30's. He maintained that his com munist charge could be borne out by a Major Milner. Milner was at one time a special in vestigator of communist activi ties for the Oregon national guard. The subcommittee, oh learn ing this, decided to hear Milner in person, so he was subpoenaed. In due course, Milner arrived and was heard out. He failed to sustain the original accusations made by Mahoney but he did maintain that Solomon flirted with leftist groups. At the termination of pro ceedings it was nearly unan imously c o nc e d e d that the charges made by Milner and Mahoney were ridiculous. Ma honey had no evidence at all and Milner's accusations were based on a guilt y association theory. It was conceded that Judge Solomon is liberal and is a mem ber of several leftwing groups such as the ADA and the civil liberties union. (He is also a democrat.) This, however, is surely no indication that he is un-American. On the contrary, Judge Solo mon's high integrity, loyalty to his country, and professional ability were amply vouched for at the recent proceedings. Sen. Morse, Sen. Kefauver, David L. Davies, a Portland attorney, and even the Oregon republican na tional committeeman, Ralph Cake, all personally appeared on the judge's behalf.

Larsen, chief of the of fice of civilian mobilization, thinks America is safe from atomic attack at least until 1953. Larsen told a conference of U. S. mayors yesterday that on the basis of government intelli gence calculations, no potential enemy will be able to drop an atom bomb on any American city before then. Russia Not Ready "From the best general in telligence," he added, "Russia is not ready for war." Between now and Jan. 1, 1953, Larsen said, the government hopes to have prepared a civil defense program to withstand a sneak A-bomb attack. A defense plan now is being tested in Washington, Seattle and Chicago he said, and the results will be distributed in September to may ors of cities of more than 50, 000 population. Not One-Atiack Job "Our defense concept is not based on a one-attack job," he said. "We are assuming 20 cities will be bombed the first day and that the bombing will continue for three years." Larsen minimized fears that big cities would be so contam inated in the event of an A-bomb attack that they would be unin habitable. "If a city is contaminated by an atom bomb, you wouldn't have to evacuate it," he said. "I'd have no fear of being in this radiation."
