Attempt To Grab
Nation's Resources
Alleged by Cain
Washington U. Sen. Har
ry P. Cain charges that the Inte
rior Department is trying to
grab control of the country's na
tural resources.
The Washington Republican
made the charge Tuesday during
Senate debate on a measure for
federal control of the oil-rich
"tidelands."
Would Giva Encouragement
Cain said passage of the meas
ure would "give the Interior De
partment encouragement to pro
ceed immediately with a nation
wide program of collectivization
and nationalization of all basic
natural resources in all 48 states.
Cain said the Interior Depart
ment now is trying to "strip the
state of Washington of its coastal
submerged lands and resources"
by asserting the federal govern
ment's claim of "paramount
rights" to them.
This claim has been upheld by
the Supreme Court.
Hew Teacher Staff
At Silefz School
Siletz, Ore. U.R) Classes at
Siletz high school were under
way again Wednesday with a full

The new staff replaced nine
high school teachers who walked
out in a body last week, includ
ing Superintendent Marion Whit
taker. The teachers who resigned

ing jobs in Oregon for the rest of
the year. They blamed commu
nity dissension for their mass
resignation.

Attractive Girl's Gambling Urge
Leads To Break in Redfield Case
Reno U.R) Millionaire La
Vere Redfield, speaking from bit
ter experience, said Wednesday
that if you've got a few million
dollars kicking around, don't
hide it in the closet at home.
Put it in the bank. .
It was sound advice from a
man who paid $2,500,000, by his
own reckoning, to find out. The
FBI said it really was closer to
$1,500,000.
Safe Carted Off
Whatever the exact figure,
burglars 12 days ago carted off
Redfield's 400-pound safe from
his gloomy stone chateau. It was
crammed with cash and secur
ities. The robbery executed in
broad daylight came off while
the family dog, "Mac," chewed
happily on a hambone. Redfield
himself was playing roulette at
a downtown casino.
The first break in the case
came Tuesday when an attractive
redhead's passion for playing
blackjack triggered a chain of
circumstances which resulted in
Omak Lake Seen Out
For Navy Blast Test
Omak (U.R) Omak lake ap
parently was out Wednesday as
a possible site for proposed Navy
underwater demolition tests.
Morris J. Mundorf and Bruce
A. Liesch, U.S. geological sur
vey, said soundings made Mon
day showed the lake is only 325
feet deep at its deepest spot.
Mundorf said he understood the
Navy requires a depth of 1,000
feet for the tests.
Omak lake, 10 miles southwest
of here, was suggested as an
alternate site after a storm of
protests caused the Navy to post
pone "indefinitely" the tests
originally scheduled for Lake
Pen Oreille in north Idaho.
the arrest of an ex-convict in
connection with the robbery. "
Held on Federal Charge
Andrew R. Young, 46, was
picked up Tuesday in his shabby
apartment in Milwaukee, Wis.,
and several hours later was ar
raigned on a federal charge of
transporting stolen property
across the state lines.
The mysterious r e d h e ad,
whom authorities refused to
identify, unwittingly touched
off Young's arrest when she at
tempted to cash a $1,000 bill
during a gambling spree at
Reno's Riverside Hotel casino.
The huge bill aroused the sus
picions of Mert Wertheimer, co
owner of the casino, and he sig
naled the cashier to check' it
Home Here Chosen
For Landscaping
The J. D. Rose property, 501
Melrose avenue, has been se
lected as the Medford location
for a landscaping demonstration
by county office of the Oregon
State college extension service,
C. B. Cordy, county agent for
horticulture, said today.
April 10 at 1:30 p.m. is the
date and time of the demonstra
tion and the public is invited.
Cordy said that the Rose prop
erty at the southeast corner of
the senior high football field,
has bee nselected because it is
regarded as similar to many
others in Medford.
The Roses will furnish the
shrubs specified by I. B. Solberg,
landscape architect and mem
ber of the Oregon State college
faculty.
On April 11 a similar dem
onstration will be conducted at
the Samuel B.' Smith home on
East Evans creek 5V miles from
Rogue River.
against a list of the currency
missing in the Redfield robbery.
At first she couldn't find the
bill's serial number on the Red
field list. A few minutes later,
however, she matched it.
Wertheimer called the redhead
into his office.
F.B.I, in Action
"You're in trouble real
trouble," he told her and called
police. When they arrived, the
girl said "a guy in Milwaukee"
had given her the $1,000 bill
along with several $100 bills,
one of which she had cashed a
short, time before she tried to
break the "G-note."
The FBI went into action and
a few hours later Young was in
custody.
Robert Murphy, FBI agent-in-charge
at Milwaukee, said
"about $600" in currency was
found in Young's apartment, but
that he was unable to trace the
money to the Redfield burglary.
A further search was planned.
Redfield, meanwhile, took the
announcement that Young had
been arrested as calmly as he had
taken everything else in the
robbery.
"Gosh,' 'he said.
Douglas Fir Mill
Production Declines
Portland U.R) A six per cent
decrease in lumber . production
at Douglas fir sawmills during
the first two months of this year
was blamed Wednesday on last
summer's 40-day closure of log
ging camps due to fire weather.
Harris E. Smith, secretary of
the West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation, said the closure cre
ated a log shortage which pre
vented mills west of the Cas
cades in Washington and Ore
gon from cutting more lumber
Orders and shipments also were
off about six per cent, he said.

Reasons Yhy TV
lot Expected Here
Soon Told Rotary
Some of the reasons why
Portland, Denver, Medford and
countless other sizable cities
and towns do not have television
were explained to local Rotar
ians by Jimmy Dunlevy, KYJC
manager, at their Tuesday meet
ing. The principal reason' given by
the speaker was the "TV freeze"
an action of the Federal Com
munications Commission taken
in September, 1948, whereby
they froze all TV licenses until
their engineers could work out
the problem of proper spacing
for stations on the same chan
nels, and to afford them time to
develop a new band of ultra high
frequency channels to meet the
increasing demand for ..TV" li
censes. With most of these problems
solved, the long-awaited "thaw"
is expected to be announced by
the FCC sometime between
March 15 and April 1, 1952.
Other Factors
Other factors contributing to
the curtailment of TV activities
include material shortages, new
developments such as color sys
tems which have caused a great
deal of controversy vithin the
TV industry, increased costs of
programming, and legal techni
calities brought on by the entry
of motion picture and sports in
terests in the television field.
Two UHF channels have been
tentatively allocated for Med
ford, and are available to any
individual or group with suffi
cient capital to construct and
operate a local station.
Because of the high cost of
equipment and relatively small
potential revenue for the first
few years, most local investors
are willing to wait until after
the TV freeze has been lifted to
study the success or failure of a
TV operation in communities of
similar size, Dunlevy said.
