In the early days of Oregon's canning industry, in the 1880's, cans were made by hand during the winter at me rate of 80 or so per day per man. Now a single production line at a Port land plant turns out more than 400 containers a minute without a hand touching the cans. MAIL TRIBUNE A All what ADA regards as monopoly and privilege. Americans for Democratic Ac tion put special emphasis on civil rights and on a challenge to many aspects of the loyalty in vestigations now current and the maner In which they are pressed. Minimum Requirements The foregoing represents the minimum requirements of ADA in exchange for support of the Democratic presidential ticket. The facts are that ADA would regretfully accept some compro mises here and there if that proved to be necessary. Other than to set up a third party organization, ADA has no place to go In a presidential cam paign except with the Demo crats. Neither Sen. Robert A. Taft nor Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower would be acceptable to ADA as its own candidate. The organization would prefer Eisen hower over Taft, however, and would be better satisfied If the general won the Republican nomination than If the senator took the prize. , To Consider Candidate The demands made upon the Democratic party were drawn up some weeks ago by the Na tional board. About 750 dele gates are expected to attend. ADA publications have an nounced the convention will se rlously consider endorsing a presidential candidate. If so, the prize might fall to Sen. Estcs Kcfauver, W. Avercll Hamrnan or Adlal E. Stevenson. It Is more likely, however that ADA will wait a bit for aiming its 1052 favorite. ADA'S real hero right now Is Harry S. Truman.

(U.R) A psy- chiatrist said Thursday that the rash of recent college pantie raids on girls' dormitories are 'impish pranks with a sex fla vor, but tne girls really line it." Another said, "it's kinda re- laxin' to let down and give way to impulses after a long hard Damages Awarded Lumber Firm in Forest Fire Case Eugene (U.R) Booth Kelly Lumber company Thursday was $66,630 richer by getting that amount in general damages from a Circuit Court Jury in a lenghty case Involving a 5,000-acre for est fire two years ago.

It's spring and besides, it s fun. Officials Take Stern View But college officials across the nation took a sterner view of the lingerie forays. Disciplin ary action was planned in sev eral cases and one official said he received suggestions that drafting the raiders might not be too severe. Male invasions of girls' sleep ing quarters at colleges seemed to have hit a new high this spring. A Florida police officer said it was a "new college fad" like eating goldfish was during the 1930's. Tuesday night alone there were two raids one by 800 men students at the University of Iowa here and another by 125 men at Utterbein College at Westerville, O. The boys netted good hauls in both raids. Girls Like It Dr. Frank A. Ely, a private psychiatrist here, said the boys may think they are teasing the girls, but "really, the girls like it." ' Ely's theory was borne out at Otterbein where the coeds leaned from windows and cheered the boys on. They even rang firebells at the height of the raid. Another psychiatrist, Dr. H. B. Henry, confirmed that sex entered into the raids, and he warned that "if allowed to go unchecked, they might lead to an increase in immorality."

The first session was held on Valentine's day and each Thursday evening since then members and personnel have gathered in the Green room to participate in a get-together of this popular pastime. The club belongs to the Amer ican Contract Bridge league, western division, and is proving, beyond earlier expectations, to be popular at the domiciliary, ac cording to Hatton, who with with Hatton, Marvin Kahn, chief of special services, and Mrs. Kahn, are charter members. Kahn is club director. Roy Pruitt, Medford, has been a prime mover in organizing the mechanics of the weekly regular tournament or master point ses sions. John Sharp, member en thusiast, has also given unstint ed effort in making the club a success. "While several of the Camp White members are experienced tournament players from south ern California, the club has at tracted a good showing of domi ciliary and staff members," Sharp pointed out. Members from Camp White are often guests of the Medford club at their Tuesday night ses sions in the Medford hotel.
