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. He does
not anticipate a consistent city
wide policy, he said.

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

We were rielishted to learn over the radio that Benny Hogan

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

case and grace of a college freshman. Like Demaret, we have an

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

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

federal district judge for Ore

of those who ran for cover, it

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

else, were due for a big sur

Editorial Comment
The Census
Well, according to the census
people there are 16.173 people
living in Corvallis. This figure
came pretty close to the highest
estimates, ft should put our city
well up within the largest eight

percent increase should place us

ed in protest. And Mahoney's
first charge was that Gus Solo
mon was a communist.
That anyone appeared in pro
test was a surprise. 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.

America Believed
Safe From Atomic
Attack Until '53
San Francisco, June 15 (U.R)
Paul J. 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."
