erans has run Into a roadblock
in Congress.
Backers originally had hoped

mustering out pay up to $300

'Education Night'
Panel Held Monday
By Medford NOMA
Alwyn Miller, of Southern
Oregon college, was moderator
of an "education night" panel at
the Monday meeting of the Med
ford chapter of the National Of
fice Management association.
Miller spoke of the curricu
lum in secretarial science at
SOC, and said he would wel
come help from NOMA in get
ting students interested In the
courses, as too many students
go to San Francisco or Portland
for training, and are later cm
ployed there. This creates a
shortage of quaified persons for
entry into business in southern
Oregon, he said.
He reported that he Is giving
the NOMA business entrance
tests to a group of students. The
tests cover stenography, typing.
bookkeeping, calculating ma
chines, general clerking and
business fundamentals, and are
designed to measure the know
ledge and skill of the applicants

plans to work with teachers in
the high schools in Jackson, Jo
sephine and Klamath counties
to establish a testing center
where a large group of students
will be given the first tests in
April, 19S3, Miller said.
Panel members told of their
experience in employing new
workers, and said many cannot
measure up to what is expected
today because they have not re
ceived the proper training in
high school, junior college or
private business colleges.
Don Cruikshank, Winston W,
Carl and Charles Hill, NOMA
members, recently put on a busi
ness show at SOC for students
there.

New Program Developed
To beat racketeering that de
veloped under the World War II
GI bill, a special House commit
tee headed by Teague developed
a new school program. This new
program is the source of the cur
rent contention
Formerly the government sent
the GI scholar a monthly living
allowance and mailed tuition
checks, up to $300 yearly, direct
ly to the school. Teague said this
encouraged fly-by-night schools
set up solely to get the $500
tuition checks.
Under the new plan, the vet
eran would get a monthly check
to cover everything. He would
pay his own tuition and use
whatever was left to live on
Many Letters Received
However, House members in
the past few days have been be
sieged with letters and tele
grams from officials of private
schools contending the new plan
would discriminate against them
and favor tax-supported schools
which usually charge lower
tuition.
Members are being pressed to
support a scries of 20 amend
ments sponsored by Rep. Wil
liam L. Springer, R-IU, which in
effect would restore the old sys
tem, though with a lower ceiling
of tuition payments. The Spring
er amendments were considered
and rejected by the Veterans
committee.
Fake Broadcast

Startles Students
Ithaca, N. Y. (U.R) A fake
bulletin saying Russian planes
had bombed London and Mar

But the "near panic" was con
fined to dormitories and fratern
ity houses because the station,

campus.
Student announcer William
Ellison said 10 students wearing
Halloween masks entered the
broadcasting room, tied up the
station personnel and broadcast
"flashes" and "bulletins" inter
mittently for eight minutes.
Business manager Ellis Ducll
said the seizure occurred "while
the station was broadcasting
classical music.
After broadcasting the bul
letin that London and Marseille
had been bombed, Duell said
the masked announcer interrupt
ed the music again to say that
the planes "are now over New
foundland."

bassador Georgi Zarubin has
been recalled permanently to
Moscow, the Russian embassy
announced Thursday.
The surprise recall came in
the midst of a new crisis in East
West affairs, but there was no
immediate indication whether
the Soviet move was intended as
a protest.
"I cannot give the reason for
his recall," an embassy spokes
man said. He indicated Zarubin
would be replaced, but said he
did not know who the successor
would bp.
Britain Notified
Zarubin called at the British
foreign office last Monday and
notified Minister of State Sel
wyn Lloyd and Permanent Un
dersecretary Sir William Strang
of his impending return. The
embassy said Zarubin would
leave "in a matter of days."

senior Soviet envoy in Paris or
Washington has served in those
Western capitals.

Rogue Valley Given
Favorable Mention
In Mademoiselle
Once again the Rogue River
valley, and the rest of the state,
has received favorable nation
wide publicity, this time in the
columns of the national young
women's m a g a z i ne, Mademoi
selle, in its June issue.
The article was written by
Mary Parker, travel editor of the
magazine, who was one of a
group of travel writers enter
tained here last August. Her
story about the tour through the
state was entitled "Where East is
West." and leads off with the
fact that so many western names
of people as well as cities
are of New England origin.
She describes her tour through
out the state, and .the portion
devoted to southern Oregon says:
Tells of Rogua Valley
"Crater Lake, that more-than-a-mile-high
sapphire gem of the
Cascades, is about equidistant
from Klamath Falls and Med
ford. The Lodge digs itself out
of the snow about the middle of
June but the park is open all
year. Nearby is Diamond Lake
Resort, and 40 miles north Cres
cent Lake and Odell Lake re
sort. West of Klamath is Lake of
the Woods Resort, all popular
with young people. From the
park the road winds through
virgin stands of Douglas fir,
pondcrosa, sugar and white pine
to the Rogue River Valley and
the orchards of Medford, which
Harry and David have made fa
mous with their fruit-of-the-
Month Club.
"The whole Rogue River sec
tion is a crowded playground in
summer. Californians come north
to their summer cottages on the
river to see the Shakespeare fes
tival at Ashland, to cool off in
Oregon's marble caves, to watch
the Gold Rush Jubilee in jacK-
sonville (August 2 and 3 this
year) and see the humble begin
nings of Saks Fifth Avenue there,
to admire the acres of glads in
Grants Pass and to go boating
on the Rogue. There are dozens
of motels and tourist courts on
each side of Grants Pass, hotels
and nightclubs in town.

a libel suit, a California court
has' ruled.

by Mrs. Isabelle Hellar of Rose

Mrs. Joe Bianco, owners of the

Portland Food,
Drug Clerks Talk
Possible Walkout
Portland (U.R) As the
threat of an Oregon truck driv
ers strike faded Thursday, AFL
food and drug clerks in Portland
considered strike action against
Food Employesr, Inc., represent.
ing 41 chain and other large
stores.
Trucker Strike Off
A union spokesman said the
Friday midnight strike deadline
for an AFL teamsters strike was
called off and negotiations were
to continue under the interna
tional constitution of the union.
Negotiations between the food
clerks and employers broke off
after the employers presented
what they termed to be a "sub
stantially better offer" than the
one the union rejected a few
days ago.
To Ask Unfair Rating ,
George Lightowler, secretary
of the union, was uncertain just
when the, union would strike.
He said he would ask the Port
land Central Labor Council to
put the employers on the unfair
list at a meeting Thursday and
that strike action may come
Memorial Day.
Lightowler said employers
raised their offer on wages to
a point that was almost satisfac
tory, but the obstacles to a set
tlement were the employer re
fusal of a health and welfare
program, time and one half for
Sunday and 35c an hour premi

noted that on the wall of the

cafe "appeared libelous matter
indicating the plaintiff was an
unchaste woman who indulged
in illicit amatory ventures.
The message included a tele
phone number along with the
phrase, "ask for Isabelle."
Gets Telephone Call
On Mav 4. 1950, the court
said, a patron of the cafe tele
phoned Mrs. Hellar, who has a
son in Korea, at her home.
"Can I come to see you?" the
caller asked.
Mrs. Hellar, perplexed, tried
to learn the Identity of the call
er.' After some conversation, the
man said:
"By your voice you sound like
a good lady. I would look into
this thing if I were you . . .
there is some of the most ter
rible writing over here on the
wall of the men's toilet about
you."
Removal Demanded
Mrs. Hellar became hysteri
cal. Her husband, Clark, called
the bartender at the cafe and de
manded the phrase be removed.
Bartender Joe Montara told
Hellar he was busy at the mo
ment but would attend to it later.-
.
Hellar and the town constable
then went to the cafe and found
the writing still on the wall.
