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.

College Authorities
Take Stern View of
Raids on Dormitories
Des Moines, la. (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-

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.
The firm originally asked
$422,483 damages from five de
fendants, charging that the .fire
in the Little Falls creek area
south and cast of Springfield
in May and June, 1950, had
been permitted to spread
through negligence to Booth
Kelly holdings.
Defendants Listed
Defendants were Portland
Manufacturing company and
M&M Woodworking company,
both of Portland; C. W. Cuer
rier Lumber company; Rasor
Logging company and C. R. &
K. fogging company, all in the
Eugene-Springfield area. The
latter firm subsequently was re
leased from the case on a mo
tion of involuntary non-suit.
The Jury awarded only gen
eral damages, refusing to con
sider special damages and levied
the $66,830 against only the four
remaining defendants.

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."

In February, Manager Paul
Hatton issued a bulletin an
nouncing the formation of the
Camp White Duplicate Bridge
club. 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
