TWO METOHD (OREGOH) MAIL TRIBUHK WHaMdir. April S. lttl Theft Suspect and 'Victim' Will Wed; Charges Dropped Tiftroit U.R) The bright sun shine streamed through the win dow and a warm breeze, scented with spring, wafted through the county prosecutor's office. The old walls, drab and gray when Sam Abraham and Rose Calleja brought their fight to the prosecutor suddenly turned to pink and lavender. The prosecutor didn't see the change. The clerk across the room didn't see it. But Sam and Rose saw it. They were to love. It was an up-hill battle for the couple who suddenly realized that it was spring. Mrs. Calleja, a 42-year-old 'Super' Prize Plan For '52 Egg Hunt A "super" grand prize Is planned this year in the Medford Kiwanis Easter egg hunt, Chair man E. K. Peterson said today.

OPS Head Criticizes Recommendations Portland U.R) Action of the state board of control in recom mending a medical insurance plan for state employees was criticized Wednesday by Joseph E. Harvey Jr., general manager of the Oregon Physicians' service. He did not criticize the idea of the plan, but selection of the Lincoln National Life Insurance company's policy as the favored plan. He said his organization had not been given a chance to present any competitive plan to the board before it made its se lection. He also said that Blue Cross was "shut out" of any op portunity to make an offer of its health insurance service. widow, advertised for roomers to occupy the five spare bed rooms in her big house. Abraham,- 54, rented one of the rooms. A few days later he asked his new landlady to loan him some money to open a dry cleaning establishment. "I hardly knew the man, but I loaned him $510," Mrs. Calleja told police. Honesty Suspected Then, she said, she began to suspect Abraham's honesty Sure enough, she said, an in vestigation of police records showed a Sam Abraham had been arrested previously for lar ceny by conversion, Mrs. Calleja had her roomer hauled off to the prosecutor's of fice yesterday, where it was re vealed there were two Sam Abrahams. This Sam wasn't the one the' police wanted at all. Color Begins To Change That's when the walls began to change color for Sam and Rose. They slyly held hands while they talked to Assistant Prosecutor Nathan Kaufman. Then they held a private con versation in the corner before turning back to Kaufman's desk Mrs. Caleja reached for a pen and across the face of the com plaint she wrote: "I do not wish to prosecute because the defend' ant promises to marry me." They left the office hand-in- hand.

Members of the crew mov ed to the accident scene to see if they could be of assistance, and called the state police and county coroner. Columbia Basin Snow Cover Greatest Portland (U.P.)

Occupational Cancer Target of Specialist Chicago (U.PJ A specialist, writing in the American Medical Association Journal, called on in dustry, labor and medicine to work together in preventing oc cupational cancer. Dr. John G. Downing. Boston dermatologist, said occupational cancer is rare but it does exist. "The record of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission shows what can be accomplished if the dangerous hazards of in dustry are frankly reviewed and accepted methods are installed for proper prevention of illness among the employes," Downing said. He said such cancer is liable to develop among workers ex posed to soot, pitch, tar and shale oil. Arsenic, tar, mineral oil and radio-active chemicals also can produce cancer in various parts of the body, he said.
