Twelve Firemen Hurt When Wall Collapses Chicago (U.R) The wall of a blazing paper box factory col lapsed on two companies ot fire men Saturday burying several in rubble and sweeping others from the roof of another building. Fellow firemen sprang to the aid of the trapped men and dug them out of the pile of bricks . and mortar. 12 Firemen Hurt Authorities at the three hos pitals where the firemen were rushed said at least 12 firemen were injured. The victims were being treated for injuries which included bro ken legs and arms and skull injuries. Firemen were fighting a 9-11 alarm fir in the three-story Terre Paper Box Co. when the north wall of the building fell toward 18 firemen. A few of the men managed to leap 1o safety, but the remainder were either knocked neamong into the street trapped under the debris QUEEN GETS SARONG London (U.R) The Sultan of North Borneo brought a pres ent for Queen Elizabeth on his visit to Britain this week.

That 'is the substance Kenneth G. Denman, Medford attorney, who had written the commission for information concerning the opening of Casey Park to camping. CTATE Parks Superintendent C. H. Armstrong, spokesman for the commission in the park matter, informed Denman that a number of letters have been received from people in the Casey Park neighborhood and also some from Medford, but that Denman was the first one to ask for information relative to the problem. "I might say," added the superintendent in his letter, "that I very much appreciate the fact that you have asked rather than condemned us for some thing that is not in our plans or thinking. We do plan on overnight camping within the boundaries of Casey State Park; however, it is on the east (up-river) side of the park which is not now used for picnicking pur poses. Too, this area is not for use by trailers, but tents only." The superintendent's letter continues : 'The reason for establishing overnight camping in our parks is that we have hundreds of letters in our files from people of this state, as well as those who have traveled and frequently made stops throughout the state, who desire to use the state parks for overnight camping purposes. "It is through this pressure that the Highway Commis sion hag consented and demanded that overnight camping provisions be provided in the areas. We are attempting to do this In a way that will not in any way Interfere with the picnic use, or day use, and not compete with but supplement the private business in the area in which we have these camps. In so doing we hope that the feeling against the state, regarding such matters will be alleviated and possibly en courage travelers to stay within the state Boundaries a iew days longer resulting in a certain amount of expenditure ' which benefits the businesses in the particular area. "Whether or not camping will be continued in Casey Park, we do not know at this time. We are merely attempt ing to find out what the people want in overnight camping." The concluding uaraerarjh above should be par ticularly reassuring to the organisations and individ uals in the Casey Park vicinity who have gone on record as opposing the overnight camping plan. Ap parently the commission has merely changed the park regulations on a trial basis. If use of the overnight . -1 ::.L -l.-nfll.. Anwli'mt. camping privilege is Hiauincieia iu junwiy wiiuuu- ance, or if other tactors eventually seem to indicate that the olan does not have popular support, it may be assumed that the commission will w.itnaraw tne camp ing privilege. E. C. F. Cupid Catching em Young Medford hieh school's senior and junior classes this year tends to bear out the United States Depart ment of Commerce finding that Americans are mar rying younger than ever before, bix members or tne eraduatinfir class are married, and three of them have children. The junior class has an even higher matrimo nial batting average with members. THE government, in delving into present day ro- mantic trends, has learned that the median age of girls getting married for vears: and for men the ligure is zz.o years, ine me dian is a middle figure, that is, there are as many ages helnw it as above, and naturally some of those repre sented in the lower bracket are pretty young indeed. The federal fact finders also noted with interest that the median marriage age had gone down more from 1940 to 1950 than it did during the entire half century before that. In 1890, for instance, the median marriage ages were 22.0 for women and 2G.1 for men. By 1940, the medians had gone down to 21.5 and 24.3, resnectivelv. The chance was accounted for by the fact that World War II started about that time, and the rush to the altar, mostly by younger folk, get underway. NOT all the young marriages prove permanent, of course, but there are more married Americans to dav than ever before with 68 per cent of those over 14 years old traveling in double centage was 60 tor tne same a a a WHILE divorce does seem rather commonplace nowadays, the government's statistics show that married life still holds great appeal as for each sepa rated' divorced person, there are 19 living together as husband and wife a substantial majority, one must admit. E. C. F. New Type Dentifrices New York (UP.) Dental manufacturers claim that the new and different types of tooth paste make It easier for people to keep their teeth in good shape. One of the latest steps in the field of dentifrices was taken this year with the marketing of chlorophyll toothpastes One manufacturer went even far ther. He took an ammonlaled toothpaste, added chlorophyll and not only came up with ac tion against odors and decay but developed the formula so that It wouldn't stain clothing, towelt or brushes.

Crosstown "I'll make it a package deal. Pop. I'll wash the car and than drive it downtown somewhere and he,va tha oil changed!" Matter of Fact THE EISENHOWER DILEMMA Abilene, Kan, As the red while and blue bunting comes down over the streets of Abilene, y$ and the circus elephants which took part in the Els e n h o w e r Day parade are led away, an obvious ques tion occurs to the departing observer. Dwight D. Eis enhower h a 8 done a most impressive job In his first few days as an active politi cal candidate. But in the weeks to come, how is he to deal with the dilemma which confronts him? The nature of this dilemma Is clear. If Eisenhower is to become president, he must first win the votes of 604. delegates to the Re publican National convention, He must then win the votes of 28,000,000 Americans, or what ever number will constitute- a majority at the polls next No vember. The difference between 604 and 28,000,000 is more than ma thematical. The majority, of American voters do not neces sarily harbor the same political opinions and prejudices as 604 nrofessional Republican politi cians. In fact, not since 1928 have the majority of Americans voted for the candidate chosen by the majority of the delegates to a Republican convention. ' rnSENHOWER'S real strength moreover, lies not with the active, regular Republicans, but with the independent voters who determine elections in these times. The independent voters have no representation at party conventions. Therefore in com ihg weeks the pressure will be very heavy on Eisenhower to prove himself just as orthodox a -Republican as Senator Robert A. Taft himself, in order to cross his first hurdle safely, and win over the essential 604 to his side. So far, Eisenhower has not succumbed to this pressure, Parts of his speech on Wednes day were obviously designed to answer the charges of Senator Taft and his adherents that Eis enhower is a "fake Republican,," beholden to the Democrats. But unlike Senator Taft, Eisenhower has conspicuously not embraced Senator Joe McCarthy, nor (de spite kind words for his old chief (the policy of General Douglas MacArthur in the Far East. He has spoken out for economy as who has not? but not at the price of sacrific ing the Western Alliance. On most domestic issues he has landed about as close as possible to the political center. Yet as the competition for wavering delegates becomes more -bitter, and the tension mounts, the temptation to move further to the Right on this or that issue, in order to please this faction or that of the Republican party, will mount with it. More over, Eisenhower Is a politician now whether he likes it or not, and it is the job ot a politician to win. He will be deluged with advice, but the final decision on the course he is to take will be his and will thus depend on the nature of the man himself, a ITERE IT MAY be worth re calling an incident which took place last Tuesday night at the Kansas City airport, when Eisenhower landed there his first landing as a political candi date in civilian clothes. He was met, not by the military guard of honor to which he has been accustomed, but by a small dis orderly mob of politicians from the area. One of these, a tall man with a saturnine face, rushed up to Eisenhower, shouted, "Hiya, pardncr," and put hit arm r-. - fv btewari Aisop By Roland Coo fc Stewart Alio around the General's neck. He then turned instantly to the waiting cameras, to display a mirthless and toothy muscular spasm masquerading as a smile. It was at precisely this moment, or so it seemed to this reporter, that Eisenhower realized that he had left his five stars behind him forever. For an instant a look of dismay and irritation. passed over his amazingly ex pressive face. At this moment of transforma tion, another man might have made a fool of himself, and ov erplayed his new part. Eisen hower simply continued to be himself. He tactfully disengaged nimsen irom tne unwelcome em brace, shook hands genially all around, and walked with in stinctive dignity to his car, smil ing with what seemed to be a se cret amusement. In short, Eis enhower just does not seem to be the sort of man who is really capable of being anything but himself. a rpHIS IN TURN is why it does not seem probable that Eis enhower, in the desperate strug gle for delegates, will adopt, the obvious tactic of moving over in to the Taft political preserve on both domestic and fpreign is sues. In the short run, this might seem smart pre-convention poll- tics, since Eisenhower might thus win a crucial proportion of Taft s conservative following, but in order to do this, Elsen hower would have to cease to be himself; he would have to com promise convictions which are simple and uncomplicated, but which are very firmly held. . These convictions, to judge not only from what he said in Abilene, but from the tone and style of his performance here, put him smack in the middle po sition between President Tru man and Fair Dealism and Sena tor Taft and orthodox Republi canism on almost every issue. It seems a reasonable guess that the majority of American voters who will decide the next elec tion are also somewhere in the middle between Truman- and Taft. And the election, after all, is what all the noise and fury is about. Thus in the long run, sim ply being himself may be about the smartest politics Eisenhower can play.

French Continue Raids on Commies Paris (U.R) Military counter-espionage agents raided Com munist cells in five ports and naval bases in France and North Africa Saturday hunting evi dence of a Communist plot to overthrow the government. The security agents struck in Toulon, Brest, Lorient and Bor deaux in France and in Mers-El-Kcbir in Algeria. Police also raided four more buildings in Paris where Georges Bouvard, political editor of the Commu nist newspaper Ce Soir, was ar rested on charges of inciting to violence. Examining Magistrate Pierre Jacquinnt, who ordered the raids to build up his case against Jacques Duclos, jailed leader of the French Communist partv. questioned the pudgy Duclos for four hours Saturday. The raids came after a naval tribunal at Toulon naval base accused unammed Communists of acting against the external se curity ot France on behalf of a foreign power a charge that carries the death penalty.

I wonder if you read and di gested the proceedings and the final outcome of the Republican state convention at Mineral, Wells, Texas, little while back. If not you missed something interesting. It appears that at county anM precinct Republican meetings throughout Texas called to to elect delegates to the state GOP convention a majority of Eisenhower delegates was chos en. When the convention opened, it became evident that the pro- Eisenhower delegates had a clear majority. BUT The GOP state executive com mittee was controlled by Taft men and they began immediately to throw out Eisenhower dele gates and to SEAT Taft dele gates. In all, they tossed out 58S Ike men and seated Taft men in their places. The executive committee then ruled that when the convention itself came to vote on the seating of delegates the contested Eisen hower men were NOT to be al lowed to vote whereas the con tested Taft men WERE to be al lowed to vote! Neat, was it not? And effective. When you can run things like that you're bound to win. ALL that sounds so preposter ous that you may suspect me of using inaccurate and biased information. So perhaps I'd bet ter give the source. What has been here stated is quoted di rectly from a piece by Roscoe Drummond, chief of the Wash ington bureau of the Christian Science Monitor. The Monitor is at least as objective and un prejudiced as any ot our great newspapers. When high-handed things like that are done, a reason is us ually given for what was done and why. It was so in this case. This, believe it or not, was the reason advanced: - The pro-Eisenhower men who were thrown out WERE SUS PECTED OF BEING DEMO CRATS! The Texas state GOP execu tive committee, desiring to keep everything cozy and within the lodge, had required of voters at the precinct and county meet ings that they, sign this pledge: "I declare myself a Republi can and desire to participate in the Republican party activities in 1952." Everybody duly signed the pledge, but apparently it was sus pected that some Democrats might have perjured themselves in order to get the opportunity to vote for a Republican in 1952. So in the end it was decided to heave out everybody who show ed a leaning toward Eisenhower. T MENTION, all this, at consid A erable length, because in my reading of the political news from over the nation I seem to have detected on the part' of a certain type of aged-in-the-wood, bottled-in-bond Republicans this same tendency to RESENT any voting by Democrats for any Re publican. They seem to feel about it much as a Greek fra ternity member might, feel to ward a bodacious "barb" who tried to horn into the frat house. I confess I can't understand it. It appears to me that political parties, of all things, must never be FROZEN. They must remain FLUID, so that they can change with the changing times. Other wise we shall have a frozen so ciety, with everybody frozen in his place or his class and never any chance to get out. The inevitable result of that would be the end of democracy in America. Particularly, I can't under stand why any Republican would snoot a Democrat who wants to move over into the Re publican house. As of now, the Republicans are OUT. The Democrats arc IN. Unless we Republicans can lure some Democrats over into our camp, we're going to STAY on the outside looking in. Unless we can get into the driver's seat now and then, how are we ever to prove that our way is the best way? I ought to add her that such things as happened at this Texas GOP convention can happen in our country only in the South. Its Southern wine Is the scandal of the Republican partv. wnen Southern ReDublican delegates (who are too often po' I white trash or black-and-tans) vote for a Republican candidate ' for President they accept no re-' sponsiDinues for no Deep South state is expected to deliver its i electorial vote to a Republican. It is accepted dogma that Re publicans of the type that gets into Republican conventions In the Deep South really LIVE only once every four years when their convention votes are want-if ed by the Republican "organiza - lion. . Then, durina their hr:pf riniir!J in the sun, they eat high up on the hog. I HOPE it won't ilwsvi he that way. I hope the time mav arrive when the Deep South wiil come back into the American two-party system. I BELIEVE that time will come. Our polit ical system will be far more workable when it does come. But it Isn t here yet as wit ness what happened in Texas. Russ Ambassadorial Change May Mark Widespread Shift In Soviet Global Policies By PHIL NEWSOM Untiad Praia Foreign Analyst Russia is sending in a new pitcher against the home team, and also is shaking up its farm system. In the glob al ball game in which every man, woman and child is a player, it could mark a major shift in Russian strate gy, without in any way mark ing a change in Russia's I'hil Naoaora, global ambitions, Both Washing- ton and Moscow are taking the calm view of the recall of Sov iet Ambassador Alexander S. Panyushkin and his replacement in Washington by Georgi Niko laevich Zarubin. Moscow calls it "routine," and U.S. officials say the switch has no particular sig nificance in the cold war. But Europe thinks it may mean something. It coincides with a general shakeup tightening Russian con trol of the satellite states, and with the signing of treaties which linked West Germany with the Western Allies as a vir tually free state and which set up a European army as a defense against Russian aggression. No Bush Leaguer Zarubin is no bush leaguer. He has been ambassador to Lon don since 1946 and prior to that time was ambassador to Canada. He was ambassador to Canada at the time the big Russian spy ring was uncovered. An official investigation seemed to clear him of any direct connection, and anyway the question was ac ademic.

A The 149-141 House vote was on a motion to "suspend the rules," and pass the bill. Ap proval of this shortcut, by-passing the Rules Committee and cutting debate time, requires a two-thirds vote. Sponsor Robert L. Doughton (D N.C.) said he wanted to hurry the bill so the Senate would have time to con sider it before Congress ad journs. The bill still can be brought before the House under the usual rules. Q What was the House's ob jection to granting an old-age pension Increase? A Rep. Daniel A. Reed, (R., N.Y.), leading debate against the bill "blocked" May 19 by the House, said he favored the pen sion increase, but opposed a pro vision which would let the gov ernment determine disability. He read an American Medical association telegram saying.such federal authority would amount to "socialized medicine." The bill would raise payments, in crease the amount a person could earn without losing bene fits, and give disabled persons full benefit rights. Q How much Is the Korean war costing the U.S.?

The mistake in this case is in getting caught in un friendly acts. You simply yank him and send in somebody else who en ters the game with no hard feel ings. Bright Young Man Zarubin, in any event, is re garded as one ot Stalin's bright young men, somewhat ot the de termined, austere type of his boss, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Two theories have come up in connection with Zarubin's new appointment. Both are advanced in the light of the fact that Rus sia recently has suffered a diplo matic defeat in Germany. The first is that he is supposed to prepare the ground for early talks with the West, and, more specifically, to assess the chanc es for a change in Russo-Amer-ican relations after the presiden tial elections, May Have Lost Hope The second is that the Krem lin has abandoned hope for a split between Britain and the United States and has decided to send a man to Washington with sufficient first hand experience of Europe to try his hand direct ly in the U-S. where Soviet diplomatic initiative so far has been negligible. The European observers who see things in this light, say that a switch in Soviet diplomatic representation usually is mora than mere routine. They believe the Soviet moves in Washington and London are part and parcel of a campaign which will watch carefully for any possible change in United States attitude, but which will be concurrent with a Soviet plan to extend as far as possible its own "forefield" ot potential military operations. in the Kansas City area. Agen cies handling the work would be Army Engineers, $35. million, and the Agriculture Depart ment, $20 million, Q How many votes does it lake to expel a Senator? A Either the House or Sen ate can expel one of its members by a two-thirds vote. In past ex pulsion cases this has been inter preted to mean two-thirds of those present and voting, provid ed a quorum (more than half the membership) is in the chamber. Thus, in the Senate, if all 96 members voted, expulsion would require 64 votes. With only a quorum (49) present, expulsion could carry on 33 votes.
