Eisenhower's "home coming" speech in Abilene, Kan., next Wednesday will deal with domestic issues as well as foreign policy. Persons close to the general's campaign organization predict ed that he will have something to lay about labor-management relations and federal spending, although the main theme of his address is expected to be the prospects for peace. Supporters of Sen. Robert A, Taft, R-O., Eisenhower's chief rival for the GOP presidential nomination, have been demand ing that the general declare him self on domestic Issues when he comes home from Europe. Salem (U.R) The state Ag riculture department urged or chardists Tuesday to spray or dust Immediately upon notice that cherry fruit flics are out in ny of the cherry fruit fly con trol areas of Oregon, John C. It Is difficult to accept the fact that John C. Mann is gone, for in his sudden passing last Sunday Medford lost a citizen so generally and favorably known, and one who had been in our midst so long and so promi nently that he had become as much a part of the city as Mam street. 1MANY made his acquaintance through his having been in business here for over forty years, but literally thousands knew him also because of his sev eral decades of civic, religious, fraternal and philan thropic activities. Although sonality was always completely unobtrusive he nev er projected his views or wishes in a dictatorial way his wise counsel was vamea willingness to give of time and money in the public interest played a part in Medford's progress through the years. I T WAS natural that Mr. and labored for Medford. mination which brought him here from Minnesota back in 1910, also planted in his heart a deep affection for his adopted city which he never lost. One of the most admirable facets of John Mann's character was his friendly everyone with whom he young; rich or poor, he likea people, ana tney in turn, liked him. DURING the something like 38 years this writer Vnain Vii'tvi um no vt- hoarrl .TnVin Mann qnpnlr nil niibn alii.., fit , or disparagingly of anyone. we don't recall ever hearing anyone voice aught but good will toward him. Medford will miss him Nature This is the time of year when fawns are appear ing in the forests, the Crater Lake National Park bears are awakening from their hibernation and the genus homo feels the urge to get out in the woods and com mune with the wildlings. There is nothing quite so ap pealing as a fawn and few animals as interesting as the bear but there are a few which humans should remember in visiting their haunts. FIRST, if you're tempted to pick up a fawn because you think it's mother has deserted it, or has met foul play, or because you'd like -to haul it home as a playmate for the children state game commission warns that by act of the last legislature it is unlawful to take the young of game bird or animal from its natural habitat and hold it in captivity. Nearly all fawn cases investigated by game agents amount to "fawnnapping;" bambi wasn't real ly lost, just hiding until fawn has no odor, and protective coloring and freez ing are its best protection. Fawns held in captivity soon shed their gentle innocence, and on many occasions game agents have been called upon to dispatch its owner. If there is reason to been killed or injured, the state police should be noti fied, but the fawn should not be disturbed. e e e e e AS FOR bears, the Park Service has renewed its an Tin tit MroiT.lr.fY cirrQinaf f oiarlinrr on1 tViia timo Vina .4V4.ua u ni iiiiig agniuuv j,.vuiiigi uuu wtiio lyjitiiv '- even extended the prohibition to include other large animals such as deer, buffalo, mountain sheep, elk and antelope.

As We Live A LITTLE WIFELY FLATTERY MAKES MAN WILLING HELPER There are some people who are willing to do anything to help a friend, but when it comes to their own families, lt Is a dif ferent story. That is the problem facing the wife who wrote: (Q) My husband Is Ttry handy about the house. When he helps friends and relatives, he Is most gracious and Is willing worker. But when lt comet to doing anything In our house, he curses and com plains about something all the time. The children and I suf fer while he Is Just plain mad. I try putting off anything that mutt be done because I dread It so. If we were in a finan cial position to have It done, that would solve the problem, but we are not. What shall I do, suffer in silence and have ihe work done or leave the work undone and have peace and quit!?" (A) Of course the work should be done and of course you should not have to suffer In si lence or any other way. The home Is your husbands as well as yours. Pride should make him want to have things In good shape, and if he is handy, it should be Just as much pleasure for Dr. Hurleck him to work at home as for outsiders. Perhaps outsiders praise and wtdsMdtr. Mar Mann this latter side of his per ana oiten sougnt, ana nis Mann should have loved for the seemine nredeter and genuine interest in came in contact.

Have you tried letting him know how much you appreciate and admire his work, or do you Just take lt for granted? A man needs praise from his wife as much as he does from outsiders. Continue asking your husband to do the Jobs that must be done to keep the home in condition and In good running order. Then Ignore his complaints at first and see if praise and flattery will not change his attitude. If, after a reasonable trial, this fails, then give him an ulti matum, Either he does the work cheerfully and pleasantly, with out making nervous wrecks out of the whole family, or you will employ someone to do the work for you. Don't bluff. Keep your word. After he has had to pay a few bills for work he could easily do and do as well If not better than an outsider will do them, he may decide that it is money in his pockets to help his family before he helps outsiders. If you have a problem about family or friend, ask Dr. Hur lock to help you. Write In care of thlt newspaper. (COPYRIGHT 19S2. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) NOT IN STOCK Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) A greeting card shop here with 12,000 different cards couldn't fill a request. Mrs. L. A. Rlddcll said a customer wanted a sym pathy fard her dog could send to another dog which was 111.

It says: Fathers' Day was originated in nineteen hundred ten in Spo kane, Wash., by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, in honor of her father." However, the name of Mrs. Dodd's father is not men tioned. The omission is not un usual. I have seen it stated in and encyclopaedias that Mrs. Dodd originated Fathers' Day out of memory and the kindness of her male parent, but have yet to see this fine man's name mentioned. It is a sad situation. To have the inspiration of Fa thers' Day practically a forgot ten man. Moving Cancer (June 21 - July 22nd) women are restless. They like to be on the move. Don't want to live in one place too long. Or so say the stargazers. This makes it a little difficult for their loving husbands. The in tense desire for change of scene is not confined to Cancer people. Many people like to be on tne move. It is, therefore Interesting to know there is now available a mobile house. This house can be taken down and prepared for moving in eighty minutes. It can be put up again in the same time. It has two bedrooms, living room, ba t h and kitchen. Sells for around $8,000, When you want to move you lust take down the house, attach it to a back of an automo bile, similar to a trailer and move on to another lot in some other section. Hortet and Women Note it repeatedly stated there is available lipstick that is glass proof, cigarette proof and kiss proof. If such is the case why don t more women use it? Lipstick stains are still much in evidence on glasses, napkins and cigarette butts. Al so, even to their loving husbands great man women are still offering their cheeks to be kiss ed. If ther is kiss proof lipstick why do women indulge in such chilly greeting or goodbye as a kiss on the cheek? That's really not much better than a hand shake. Infants Are you by any chance the proud papa of a recently born infant? How is the youngster doing? Do you know that song titled, "Baby's Got a Tooth?" Most children at the age of one year have from six to eight teeth, but, of course, California topped that. An infant named Albert Chester Williams, of San Francisco, had sixteen teeth at the age of twelve months. How ever, that's not the world's rec ord. In Tel-Aviv, two years ago, male infant was born with a full set of teeth! Fashionable Dogs Some New York women of fashion consider a dog an ac cessory. By that I mean they think having a certain type of dog adds to their appearance. Makes them look smarter. The type of dog now preferred along Park Ave., Manhattan, for this purpose is the toy poodle. These dogs, if well bred, have become very expensive. A toy poodle, nine and a half inches in height, recently brought a price of $1,000. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Has any dance hostess ever become a film star? Six New York dance hostesses would like to know. A. Merle Oberon was once a dance hostess at the Cafe de Paris, London, Q. My brother-in-law smokes seventy cigarettes a day. Is it a record? A. Couldn't say. but I doubt it. The greatest chain smokers are women.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Dispatch from Bonn, Ger many: "The U.S., Britain and France signed a peace contract today with Western Germany and then welcomed their former enemy as a NEW PARTNER IN THE FIGHT FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM." I suppose you will recall that only a little while ago we did the same with Japan, our other principal enemy in the late la mented war. IT DOESN'T teem sense, does It? to make Especially when we consider the fact that the reason we are taking our former enemies into the lodge is to STRENGTHEN OUR TEAM to we'U be better able to fight another war with a nation that was one of our prin cipal ALLIES in the last war. rPHE dispatch from Bonn goes - on: "There was little Jubilation over the signing in Western Germany, where all nine states of the Western Federal (German) Republic turned down a (Ger man federal) government re quest to close the schools and make the day a holiday." It doesn't seem to make sense to the Germans, either. TTISTORY, I think. teaches us this bitter lesson: It isn't so much the wars we fight that ruin us as the fact that we never learned to make a peace that will last. rpHE curtain of secrecy that has hidden from us what has been happening in our prisoner of war situation in Korea is lift ed enough this morning to reveal that CLEAR BACK IN SEPTEM BER communist and anti-corn munist POWs battled each other for five riotous days. The five-day struggle caused 100 POW casualties, including 15 killed by prisoners. UN guards wounded 14 with gun fire and 22 with bayonets. pHE dispatch goes on: "Our POW camp officials con cede they do not have control inside the barbed wire enclo sures. Red leaders have organiz ed the prisoners into a crude but DISCIPLINED army, equipped with stones, clubs and weapons fashioned from cans and metal bars. They also have pistols and rifles seized from guards in riots or BOUGHT FROM CIVILIANS, At least 115 prisoners have died from brutal beatings, hang ings or torture in clashes be tween die-hard communists and anti-communists within the barb ed wire enclosures, hospital rec ords show." TT CERTAINLY sounds like a - mess. I don't believe, of course, that it has been deliberately promot ed by dumbnes or incompetence or plain sap foolishness on the part of our military officials in Korea. I imagine it is due to the fact that we just haven't men enough over there to do a good job. That conclusion Is suggested by the probability, indicated by such figures as have seeped through the censorship, that we have nearly as many prisoners in Korea and its islands as we have soldiers. That, if true, contains all the elements of a dangerous situa tion. TT SEEMS to me we ought to admit we have a war on our hands and treat it as such in stead of pretending It is a mere police action and doesn't amount to much. AT THIS point, let's shift from war to politics. A dispatch from Spokane says: "Embittered backers of Sena tor Taft contemplated today their man's meager allotment of only four of the state's 24 GOP national convention votes and predicted a PARTY RIFT ... At Washington's state GOP conven tion Saturday, Eisenhower sup porters gathered in the remain ing 20 votes for their presiden tial hopeful. "The hope that both sides would close ranks and forget their differences was expressed by state chairman Mort Frayn, but Charles Paul, state Taft leader, said he thought the rift might CARRY OVER and affect the entire 1952 campaign in the state of Washington." piE! FIE! Gentlemen! You aren't kids playing a sandlot baseball game and quarreling over who won. You're grown men. You pretend to believe that a change of administration is es sential If our country is to be saved, and yet because your man doesn't win you pout and sulk ' and talk like you were going to bolt the team. I That's no way for grown men to act in a time of grave national peril. : Deaf Get Own Church Indianapolis (U.R) A church where the congregation : sings with its hands and watches ' the sermon instead of hearing ! it has been dedicated here.

Many Problems Yet To Be Ironed Out In European Treaty Br PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst It It Indicative of our time that neither the peace contract with West Germany nor the Eu ropean Army pact have brought great rejoicing. In fact, If anything, they seem to have pointed up old suspicions. They have reminded the people of West- arn Fiirnnc nf ,'hi N0"- the high hopes which were followed by bitter disappointment after World Wars I and II. They have re minded all of us that the strug gles against world Communism is far from being resolved and that no end yet is in sight, These are no the days of military bands and cheers for the rumbling caissons and march ing men. First Concrete Results Yet, along with the Japanese peace treaty, events of Tuesday and Monday in Bonn and Paris should be the cause of the most cheering since the beginning of the Korean war nearly two years ago. They are the first concrete results of a spirit of unity against a common enemy. They are the first faltering steps in a plan which ultimately could lead to a United States of Eu rope for the first time in history, The North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization basically represented an ideal a paper plan for de fense of the Western world with a paper army. The German peace contract and the European Army can give it bone and sinew. So there is room for hope, Next Months Crucial But the next months will be crucial. The few days brought into sharp focus the problems still to be surmounted before the first steps can be followed by still others, before there can be real hope for a United States of Europe and before NATO will grow its bone and sinew. In Western German, the peace contract brought no real re joicing even though it resored to the Germans virtual sover eignty after 13 years of war and occupation, The provincial governments of West Germany refused to make the signing of the peace con tract a cause for a day of cele bration. Chairman Kurt Schu macher of the Socialist Party, second largest in the Bundestag, Advantages Told In VCA's Planned Airline Purchase Washington (U.R) Civil Aeronautics Board heard argu ments Tuesday that purchase of Empire Air Lines by West Coast Air Lines would improve and expand air service in the Pac ific Northwest. Ratifieaiion Asked C. Edward Leasure, attorney for West Coast, asked the ag ency to ignore some objections of United Air Lines and ratify Examiner William F. Cusick's recommendation for approval of the measure. United argued through Attor ney Stanley Stroud, that there should be only one connection linking the two airlines' sys tems. He said it should run be tween Portland and Pendleton. Ore., via The Dalles, Ore., Yak ima and Pasco, Wash, He said United should not be suspended at any point in furtherance of the merger. Tactics Rapped Leasure said these were Issues in another case Involving exten sion of Empire's operating fran chise and United appeared to be "trying to ruin it, (the merg er) oacKnanded.

Press Strike Ordered The West German Trade Un ion Federation order a 48-hour nationwide press strike for Wed nesday and Thursday, meaning that no newspapers will appear to publish texts of Tuesday'i European Army treaty. The French also have demon strated that they are whole heartedly with . the European Army plan. They dare not ttay out for fear they would be left entirely without a voice in Eu ropean affairs. But they want strong assurances from the Unit ed States Congress of U.S. sup port in case Germany should renege on her promises, more U. S. help in Indo-Chlna and support of her policies in Tu nisia. , Neither Germany nor France is through with bargaining, and both treaties may have rough going before ratification is com plete. There still may be delays and should the delays be long enough, perhaps some pointed questions by the U. S. Congress. Many Petitions Expected To Be On November Ballot Salem (U.R) Several pre liminary petitions have been fil ed on measures ranging from old-age pensions to prohibition but completed petitions have been filed for none of them as yet, according to Dave O'Hara, head of the State Election Bur eau. Alcoholic Measures Pending One measure would bring pro hibition to Oregon; another would permit sale of alcoholic liquor by the drink over the bar. One measure would ban parl-mutuel betting on dog and horse races; another by the head of the Multnomah Kennel Club which promotes dog racing would make dog racing and hence pari-mutuel betting leg al. One measure would make ir illegal for any community to go on daylight time, requiring the entire state to stay on rallroEy'i, or standard, time. Another would make it mandatory for the state to go on daylight time, state wide, for the summer months. July 3 Deadline O'Hara said there was no in dication yet as to when complet ed petitions on initiative and ref erendum measures would be re ceived in his office. They must be completed with the necessary number of signatures of register ed voters by July 3 to appear on the November general elec tion ballot. More Travel Extras No fxfro Ceiff : Y, vilue!
