Fire Fatal to Man; Officials Investigate Seattle (U.R) Officials Monday were investigating a fire which cost the life of Earle Frederickson, 51, a Seattle pub licity man and writer. Frederickson 's body was found Sunday in. the Ballard Pattern and Brass' foundry after firemen extinguished a $3,000 blaze. The fire was believed to have started from a wood stove, near which the body was found. . It was not known how Fred erickson had entered the build ing. H. W. Rowe, owner of the foundry, said he had locked the building before he left. Fire Chief William Fitzgerald said firemen found the door closed but unlocked. Frederickson once edited the American Viking Review, a Scandinavian newspaper. Mongrel Dog Blamed For Fire at Seattle Seattle U.R) A little, black mongrel dog was suspected of arson here Monday. Firemen Sunday night put out a fire in the apartment of the dog's owner, Miss Leona Klop penburg. Suspicious and disap proving stares were turned on the flop-eared mutt after his owner told' firemen the dog liked to chew match folders. Fire Chief William Fitzgerald said if the dog wasn't guilty, the probable cause was a cigaret left burning.

Return of Christ Seen by Evangelist Speaking twice Sunday at the new Bible auditorium, 910 South Central avenue. Evange list Harold E. Metcalf declared that the personal return of Christ to this earth is the only solution to the complex prob lems of a world grown weary of wars, atomic weapons, inflation, strikes, crime waves, disease epidemics and housing short ages. "The cry of millions today is for a leader who can guide them out of the morass of social, poli tical and spiritual confusion," Mr. Metcalf said.'

STATE DRAWS TOURISTS . Pullman, Wash. (U.R) More than 3,000,000 tourists visited the state of Washington during 1951 and spent about $119,000, 000, a survey made by Washing ton State college revealed. Crosstown "I'm pro-ratin' my allowance, suppin to lass than 100 a hunk of Matter of Fact 'artc' TWO HORSE PARLAY I no means unpopular with the Washington There is good reason to believe that President Truman, as he ponders his fate ful decision under the Florida sun, is now turning over in his mind a rather -astonishing idea This, is the notion of a Demo cratic ticket headed by Adlai Stevenson, who is the Presi dent's favorite for first place if he does not run himself, and- here the element of surprise en ters with Sen. Richard Russell, of Georgia, in second place. This idea is not really so astonishing as it appears at first blush. It becomes less astonishing when one begins to understand Russell's real motive in formally entering the Presidential race, and his relationship with both Truman and Stevenson. Russell has been represented as being determined to bfclt the Democratic party and head up a splinter Southern party unless the South has its way at the Democratic convention. Actual ly, Sen. Russell, who is both an able man and a Democrat to his fingertips, finds the thought of breaking up the old Democratic coalition, and splitting his party perhaps permanently and fatally, entirely abhorrent. Gov. James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, and Sen. Harry Flood Byrd, of Virginia, have both labored long and hard to persuade Russell to promise to run on a splinter ticket if Truman is renominated Russell has steadfastly refused. ACTUALLY. Russell's Presi- dential candidacy is intended primarily as a sort of friendly warning to President Truman The word "friendly" is used ad visedly. Russell has never been the typical Right-Wing Southern politician. On the contrary he has supported many New and Fair Deal measures, and he is not and never has been a dyed- in-the-wool Truman - hater. On the other hand, Truman is known to be grateful to Russell for his able handling of the MacArthur inquiry, and Russell's name is always mentioned with respect and even admiration in White House circles. Yet Russell, in announcing for the Presidency, wished to warn Truman that he will split his party wide open if he runs again. And this is demonstrably true. The pressure on Russell himself to lead a splinter ticket will of course be very heavy indeed if Truman is renominated. If Rus sell does change his mind, and agrees to head a Southern party, most Southern leaders believe that he will take every Southern state right around from Virginia to Texas without a break. Yet even if Russell stays regu lar, according to his present in clination, the Democratic party will be broken in two all the same. For Byrnes and Byrd and the other Southern leaders are absolutely determined to run a Southern candidate if Truman runs. And they have already picked on Gov. Alan Shivers, of Texas, as second choice. Shivers would meet opposition in Ala bama, North Carolina and Ten nessee, since Alabama's Sen. Hill and John Sparkman. North Caro lina's Gov. W. Kerr Scott, and Tennessee's Sen. Estes Kefauver are accounted sure to stay reg ular. see EVEN in these states Shivers would give the regulars a run for their money, however, and he is accounted strong enough to take at least eight or nine Southern states in all. Thus Truman is confronted with the near certainty, if he runs, of his party being broken again as it was -in' 1860 in the Douglas Breckenridge split, which put the Republicans in power for more than a generation. Truman is a Democrat to his fingertips also, and this prospect must sure ly give him pause. The idea of a Stevenson-Kus- sell ticket as a way out of this danger to Truman's party may seem strange. But actually, Ste venson, despite the fact that ne is a Northerner and a proponent oi civil rights legislation, is by back to whan a dollar started cants. Gael You sura ewa ma change. Pop!" Southern leaders. He is an old friend, of Gov. Byrnes, and he is actually a cousin of Sen. Rus sell's. Moreover, he has strong feelings about both states' rights and government economy, and these views are welcome in the South. Those Southern leaders who, like Russell himself, do not real ly want to break up their party, realize that the convention can hardly wholly repudiate the 1948 civil rights plank. But, they say, if Truman himself does not run again, and if the South is given representation in second place on the ticket, the South will stay regular, civil rights and all. Moreover, as a matter of prac tical politics, there would be much to be said for a Stevenson Russell ticket. Sen. Robert A. Taft is known to oppose compul sory fair employment legislation, and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is believed to oppose it. Thus the Northern racial vote would have nowhere else to go but to Steven son. e MOREOVER, Russell's pres ence on the ticket would re insure the South absolutely against a Republican invasion by a ticket headed Dy ran, ana probably even by a ticket headed by Eisenhower. Of course cer tain rather obvious questions need to be answered: for ex ample, how could a Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominee, diametrically opposed on a basic issue like civil rights, work in harness? Even so, a Stevenson Russell ticket remains an inter esting outside bet for the coming campaign. (Copyright, 1952, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) One Tough Tree We've got the toughest Doug las firs ever heard of, hard to fall and tough to kill," said the man from Morton. "Totner day me and my partner buzzed a powersaw through one that looked to scale around 8,200 board feet Well, sir, it was such a cross trained tree it went to whirling, and it spun like a top as it fell. Friend, that tree dropped in a tailspin that shot it down the hill, out over the rim of a bluff and down in a dive that drove its top 20 feet into the bed of the creek 200 feet be low. Then up above, there its butt swayed, level with our eyes. Then it settled and stood. We had to track around and down two miles to pack our gear to the tree and fall it a second time. "Yes. sir. we had to fall that fir twice. Toughest tree I ever did see." Cougar Kittens The cougar stories that have come to rest in this space keep having kittens. The Morton man obliged with one about a young forester who came up fresh from college and tried to talk the Tarheels Into forgetting how grandpappy had always burned dead fern and other weeds in the spring and to teach them how money grows on trees and on nothing else up in the hills.

Neither the Scotch nor the Irish originated the bagpipes, Nero played the bagpipes. The Romans brought the instrument to England. Shakespeare re ferred to bagpipe music as "the vile squeaking of the wry- necked fife." The English taught the Scots how to play the bag pipe. The first Queen Eliza beth was a fan for bagpipe music, she thought it was too good for the Irish and ruled no bagpipes could be played in Ire land. So the Irish invented a bag pipe of their own which could be played indoors in secret and could not be heard by the police. I was presented with a small type of bagpipe, easily mastered I learned to play the instrument to use when that soprano next door began to shriek her ver sion of "The Land of the Sky Blue Waters." But she moved away. So I gave my bagpipes to a friend who was being annoyed by a neighbor who is a loud radio player. Anions tha Married Women certainly have a wide variety of highly impertiment questions tossed at them by al leged experts on life among the married. As for example: "Could You Get Another Man?" which is the title of an article by Ro berta Fleming Roesch. Roberta warns wives to be careful how they handle their matrimonial mates or they may find them selves living alone and not lik ing it. Perhaps some wives need to give this thought careful con sideration. However, according to the research of our experts, the number of ex-husbands car rying the torch greatly exceeds that of ex-wives sorrowing for erstwhile spouses. It would. therefore, seem fitting that some body should write an article titled: "Could You Get Another Woman?" Asides It was Samuel Johnson who said: "My diseases are asthma and dropsy and what is less cura ble, seventy-five." . . . Note it stated Joan Crawford is a col lector of jewelled cigarette boxes and has "several designed by La Bouchere, famed eighteenth cen tury goldsmith."

For he joined in a cougar hunt with Pret and his hound pack and some other folks, and it came out a cougar was shot down from a tree, bad hurt yet able to kill a couple of the hounds when they closed in.

"What a sight it was, that big young Sherman Grant with a cougar by the tail, swinging him in a circle once, twice three times seven the remaining hounds howling around him, while he worked for a hemlock tree and there he slammed the cougar's head into the trunk and batted his brains out. That was all Sherman Grant had to do. Ever since he has had fern burning stopped and tree growing started among the Hol ley clan like nobody's business." Away back in Idaho when homesteads were still to be had a meek and mild little man with a big family took up a moun tain timber claim that stockmen wanted to hold open for graz ing. He started splitting ties for the P. & I. N. railroad. Every body expected him to be run out soon or late. But he wasn't. There's no big story or tall tale about it A cougar simply ran over a log with a wedge in the split, knocked out the wedge and got a foot caught in the crack as the log snapped shut. It was one of the homesteader's tie logs. Pure accident But the story grew until it had the meek and mild homesteader catching the cougar with his bare hands. And it served to keep people from bothering him.. The stockmen decided they had just as well leave him alone. He kept his claim and lived peaceably ever after. By E.

She was up at daybreak. This was in the interests of preserving her youth and beauty. That Cleo was one of the greatest charm ers of all time was not - by acci dent. She spent considerable time keeping her male attrac tion features in order. -Her first move was to jump into her swim ming pool, following which she placed herself in the hands of a battery of beauticians. First, superfluous hair was removed with pumice stone. Then came the masseur, the hair dresser, the cosmetician and the manicur ist. Every morning Cleo devoted at least three hours to the pres ervation of her beauty. No wonder Shakespeare said: "Age cannot wither, nor custom stale her infinite variety." Cleopatra was a brunette. She never had her hair dyed or bieached. When she was in the mood to be a strawberry blonde she wore a wig. ' Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office Examine Rosebushes For Large Cankers Many rosebushes are devel oping large, oval cankers on the canes. The cankers are brownish to black in color and may be only a small spot around the bud, or they may be up to 3 or 4 inches long and completely encircle the cane. Where the cankers are large, the cane will either be killed or so weakened as to be rather worthless. The trouble present for years, but in the last two or three years it has become increasingly se rious. As it is rather evident at this time, it would be well to examine rosebushes and see if it is present. It is almost en tirely confined to young, vigor ous canes. Where any of it is noticed, it would be well to prune out the infested cane to a point well be low any evidence of the . dis ease. The busnes snouia also De sprayed with Parzate or a fixed copper.

Y. (U.R) The United States has announc ed it may demand a United Na tions inquiry into "false" Soviet charges that the U. S. has been waging germ warfare in Korea and China. American U. N. Delegate Ben jamin V. Cohen called a special news conference to answer tha charges made yesterday by So viet Delegate Jacob A. Malik and said: "We do not intend to let him get away with it. We will not let him get away with these dis honest, absurd and monstrous falsehoods." Wordage put out by Peiping on the charges has not been matched by any single subject since the days preceding Chi nese entry into the Korean war, when it accused the Americans of aggressive intentions against China. Cohen said the U. S. proposal for an impartial Red Cross in quiry still stands. But he added that this country is studying with its Allies the possibility of seeking a U.

Russell James Smith, who allegedly desertedb from the Ma rine Corps at Treasure Island, Calif., on Dec. 15, 1951, was ar rested at his home above Shady Cove by state police Saturday. He is being held in the county jail for Marine Corps author ities. ' O. S. C. Extension Service have been removed so that the cut will be protected against further infection. All diseased canes which are removed should be burned to destroy the dis ease. The trouble is caused by a botrytis rot. The disease gener ally attacks weak growths or dead twigs and leaves. The hab it of attacking young, vigorous shoots is new, and in view of its past history is difficult to ex plain. It is possible that the dis ease is attacking the leaves in the fall after a frost. Leaves at this time would be very weak and ideal for botrytis infection. After becoming established in the leaf, the fungus may be able to invade the stem tissues and cause the cankers that are so visible. It would be well to spray the rosebushes thoroughly in the fall about the time of the first frosts. If protected against infection at that time, there should be no trouble in the spring. C. B.

They pray that the lost may accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour and God is giving them at least one convert a week. These men believe the Bible that as they pray, feod works. What is your faith?
