Burned Child Has
Third Skin Graft
Eva Mae Adams, who was
burned February 24 while play
ing with matches at her home at
137 Tripp street, today under
went her third skin graft at
Doernbecher hospital, Portland,
according to her mother, Mrs.
Carl Adams. The child was tak
en to the Portland children's
hospital' March 9 and she has had
skin grafts at two-week inter
vals.
Last Saturday was Eva Mae's
sixth birthday and Mr. and Mrs
Adams were in Portland to ob
serve the event with her and to
be with her Easter Sunday. With
them were their other daughter,
Alice, and a son, Charles. Their
two older sons, Raymond and
Jerry, accompanied them as far
as Cottage Grove where they
visited relatives.
Mrs. Adams reported that Eva
Mae is responding exceptionally
well to treatment and now the
doctors believe she may be dFs
missed from the hospital in late
June or early July.
Truck-Car Collision
Kills Two, Hurts One
Seattle (U.R) Two persons
were killed and another criti
cally injured Wednesday night
when their car was struck head-
on by an Army truck which
swerved across the center of the
Seattle-Tacoma highway in an ef
fort to avoid hitting another
automobile.
The victims were Ralph Dus
tin. 38, driver of the car, and his
wife, Corinne, 36, both of Se
attle. The other person in the
vehicle was Richard E. Hubbard,
39, Tacoma. He suffered a prob
able skull fracture as well as
other injuries and was taken to
Renton hospital.
The 2'4-ton truck, which was
towing a trailer, was driven by
Clay Butts of Fort Lewis and
S was part of a convoy, the State
Patrol said.

was the idea that a combination
of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois and Sen. Richard B.
Russell of Georgia would make
the strongest team Democrats
could put up.
Definite- Refusal
Stevenson's Wednesday an
nouncement that he could not
accept nomination for national
office was complete and definite.
No double talk. No Stevenson
Russell ticket, either.
There are other men In the
Democratic party. Stevenson
and Russell, however, could
have been party peace makers of
great promise. With moderately
good luck they might have re
paired damage done the party
by the Fair Employment Prac
tices dispute.
Could Destroy Party
The FEPC issue could destroy
the Democratic party. So the
hunt has been on for a compro
mise. Stevenson believes in com
pulsory FEPC by state action. If
states failed to act, Stevenson
would have a federal law.
Russell has been the leader of
the filibustering southerners op
posing compulsory FEPC. Both
are reasonable men who, under
the pressure for preventing un
told harm to their party, well
could have compromised Demo
cratic differences on the whole
civil rights dispute.
Gradual Approach
Stevenson would have had to
abandon the principle of com
pulsory FEPC and accept a grad
ual approach under federally
sponsored voluntary action.
Southerners under Russell's
leadership, however, doubtless
would have joined in accept
ance of other civil rights pro
jects. For Kitchen Shower

What is the greatest number
of flights of stairs you ever
climbed in a building? My rec-.
ord is 14 in an office building
during an elevator strike. When
that plane crashed into the Em
pire State Building several years
ago the crash put the elevators
out of service. So the firemen
fighting the blaze had to climb
79 flights of stairs carrying
their equipment. Some climb.
Makes me shudder even to think
of it.
In A Few Words
It was Wilson Mizner who ob
served: "Women can instantly
see through each other and it is
surprising how little they ob
serve that is pleasant." Ed Howe
advised: "Instead of loving your
enemies, treat your friends a
little better." Frederick Nietsche
said: "There are two things a
real man likes danger and
play and he likes women be
cause they are the most danger
ous playthings."
Asking
Queries from clients: Q. In
what year did Mary Garden
portray Salome and do the
dance of the Seven Veils at the
Metropolitan Opera House? A.
Mary Garden never sang with
the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany. She starred in Salome
under the management of Oscar
Hammerstein at the Manhattan
Opera House in 1908. Q. Why do
you write it Atlantic City, N. J.?
The N. J. is superfluous. There
is only one Atlantic City and
everybody knows it is in New
Jersey. A. There is an Atlantic
City in Wyoming.
Shoes
Not so long ago I had a little
trouble with my feet. I was ad
vised to try made-to-order shoes.
I did. I had to pay so much for
those shoes I am ashamed to
mention the price. It was truly
terrific. Well, sir, just before
that I had purchased a pair of
shoes at a regular retail outlet.
Cost me about one third as much
as the made-to-order job. The
shoes that came right off the
shelf of a retail store fitted me
better and wore better than the
made-to-order shoes. I might add
that the man who made the
shoes to order is spoken of as
the best in the country. People
come from all over the country
to acquire his shoes. But as I
have stated, the retail shop shoes
have served me better.
Horses Ic Women
"What is more beautiful than
a beautiful woman?" said Thack
eray. I am entirely in accord
with his line of thought. My en
joyment in gazing at a thing of
feminine beauty is second to
none. However, when I go to
see a film my major hope is to
be entertained by some good
acting. When some of these Hol
lywood beauties try to act the
result is pathetic. The film pro
ducers continue to select young
women for stardom who are
beautiful with a view toward
teaching them to act. I think it
would be better to select girls
who can act, regardless of their
looks, and then try to make
them beautiful. It certainly is
easier to make a good actress
appear beautiful than it is to
teach a dumb beauty to act. If
I want to see beautiful women I
can stroll down Madison Avenue
any afternoon or go to the Copa
cabana or the Latin Quarters at
night, but good actresses are
hard to find. Anyway, let me
say that when I go to the movies
I would rather see Thelma Hit
ter brilliantly handle an amus
ing characterization than view
the feeble acting efforts of a lot
of Hollywood beauties I could
name.
Trick Problem
A Bostonian describes that
"How Old Is Ann?" puzzler as a
"trick problem." It isn't. It is a
straight mathematical problem
that can be easily solved by al

different thing, such as this old

simple problem but so tricky it

Over There
The world' greatest horse
players are the British. In Brit
ain what we call a parlay is re
ferred to as an accumulator. Not
long ago a bettor, starting off
with the equivalent of about ten
dollars, placed a six horse ac
cumulator or parlay with the
celebrated London bookmaker,
Arthur Cope. After five win
ning faces the original ten dol
lars had grown to Sou.OOO! This
amount went on a horse named
Aigle Royal Second, which
started at odds of twelve to one.
So Cope, the bookmaker, who
was present at the race, stood to
lose $600,000! Imagine having
over half a million dollars riding
on one horse! Well, Aigle Royal
Second lost the race. So the fel
low who had the parlay was out
ten dollars.
Literary Note
Am asked In what part of
Brooklyn Clarence E. Mulford
resided when he wrote the first
of the "Hopalong" Cassidy
stories. Couldn't say, however, I
believe he was a city employee,
working in the License Bureau.
Anyway, it was as I stated, Mul
ford wrote twenty-eight "Hopa
long" Cassidy books before he
had ever been farther west than
Chicago.
Highway
The Highway of Freedom.
That's the name of a highway
in France which honors General
George S. Patton Jr. It follows
the route of the United States
Third Army from the Normandy
shores to Luxembourg and Bel

veterans who were in Patton's
outfit during the war.

GOP Candidate Visits
GOP Commitfee
Candidate Visits
Party Leaders Here
Jess Gard, candidate for Re
publican national committee
man from Oregon, held confer
ences with Jackson county party
leaders here yesterday and met
with a women's group at noon
and with a group of men in the
evening.
As treasurer and director of
the Interstate Tractor and
Equipment Co., Portland, Card's
business interests extend
throughout the state with offjees
at The Dalles, Eugene, Salem,
Astoria, McMinnville and Rose
burg. His business career pro
gressed from clerk in a Madras
bank to major executive posi
tions with Oregon's largest bank
ing concern. He accepted his
present responsibilities in 1946.
Long Active
Politically, Card has long
been active in the high councils
of the Republican party. Begin
ning first as a worker and later
becoming a precinct committee
man, he has been a member of
the state campaign committees
in most highly contested elec
tions of recent years.
Gard served as a member of
the Multnomah county central
committee and as a delegate to
the state convention of the Re
publican club. He was a mem
ber of the successful GOP cam
paign of Gov. Douglas McKay;
finance committee chairman for
U. S. Sen. Wayne L. Morse, and
active in the historical write-in
campaign for supreme court
Justice Harold Warner.
For 25 years Gard has been
one of Portland's and the state's
most active civic leaders. He
was president of the 1946 Rose
Festival association, a director
since 1940 and now is an honor
ary director. He is a trustee of
Willamette university and for
nine years has been a trustee of
the Boy's and Girl's Aid Society.
Qualities Said Needed
In his talks here Gard said
this nation needs a president in
whom the people will have con
fidence, and one able to say "no"
to some pressure groups. How
ever, the realities of politics
make it necessary to nominate a
man who can be elected, he said,
and party leaders must realize
that no candidate "has every
thing." Gard said he personally be
lieved General Eisenhower to be
the best possibility among the
candidates now being consider
ed, and to stand the best chance
of being elected. The Portlander
added that it was highly import
ant for Republican party leaders
to stand united at this time and
said he would support whatever
candidate was selected.
The candidate stressed that
this is the year when all "Repub
licans must "stand forth and be
counted" and said party mem
blrs must realize that their pri
vate businesses and personal
pleasures should take a back
seat when "the preservation of
thiscountry is concerned."
