City of Hood Rivet Named in Lawsuit Portland (U.R) A $150,000 suit was, on file in federal dls trict court Tuesday charging the city of Hood River, Ore., and its principal officers with "vicious assault and battery" on a Yaki ma, Wash., man by three of the city's policemen. Charles R. Howard asserted that at 8 p.m. May 14 and at 1 a.m. the following day he was "beat, struck, kicked, pummel ed and Jostled . . . without just provocation" resulting in serious injuries. Named defendants in the suit were the city, Police Chief E. L. Granse and two of his officers, Merle F. Campbell and William Wood, and Mayor F. Vernon Garrabrant and six members of the city council. Howard alleged the munici pality was negligent in retain ing "certain officers known to have vicious propensities." TOO MUCH EGG Petrocky, Mich. (UP.)

After two beautifully cool, sunny "interludes" the "dog-days" have returned. "Junior" had a very busy time Whether or not it was enjoyable we don't know. Junior, as before remarked, is a congenital conservative of the old school. He would no more think of showing any emotion pro or con than he would of dancing the Highland Fling in the hotel lobby. He has a native dignity and also a native skepticism.

However it increased his photographic activity considerably.

The big thrill for him, however, was the model of the "P.T." boat on which General Mac Arthur escaped from Bataan "Junior" snapped that from all angles and thinks MacArthur is the General lets his hair grow long over one ear ana tnen plasters it over his bald-spot to deceive the ladies but the crazy kid thought that was better than having NOTHING at ALL over the bald-spotl Ho Hum!

Before we put "Junior" on "The Senator" that's another one of the Pennsylvania's CRACK-trains nothing would satisfy him but a shot at that "monorail" car in the Senate subway. He just HAD to have it for his "COLLECTION." (The FBI has a pho tograph gallery, why shouldn't he?) So we had to check all the bags (the price has been raised to 15 cents per bag here and in Chicago) and dodge the illuminated "Don't Walk" signs back to the capitol.

Song Titles "Copyright does not protect your snng title, since titles arc not subject to copyright." So states Arthur Korb in his in formative book "How To Write Songs That Soil." It seems titles should be copyrighted. Some titles ore so different and so effective In exploiting a song that the originator should be protected. For example, consider such song titles as "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now, "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby," "Every Little Movement Has A Meaning All Its Own," "Some Enchanted Evening" and many others. There have not been many cases of two hit songs having the same title. But there have been some notable examples. Frederick V. Bower and Irving Berlin both wrote hit songs titled "Always." Bowers wrote his first. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Have you a reader in Love, Ark.? A. No sir. None in Henpcck, 111., either. Q Wasn't Harvard Eddie Grant of the N. Y.

Matter of Fact THE TAFT STRATEGY Washington The strategy for Chicago adopted by the forc es of Sen. Robert A. Taft is now being clearly revealed. It has no parallel in the history of Amer ican national politics. But it is precisely the strategy by which the Ohio senator captured or stole would be a more accurate word the crucial Texas dele gation. In brief, the Taft-controlled Texas State Executive commit tee used its power to decide con tests, in order to pack the state convention with phony Taft del- gates. The packed convention. meeting under the protection of heavily armed deputies thought fully provided by the Taft lead ers, then elected a pro-Taft tem porary chairman, L. J. Bencken- stein. Benckenstein quickly ruled that all the phony delegates could vote on all contests. The packed convention thereupon voted to legitimitize itself, and dutifully named a pro-Taft dele gation to the national convention at Chicago. It was just as simple as that. Obviously, if you can pack the hall with phony dele gates, and you then let the phony delegates vote that they are not phony after all, you can control any convention on earth. This is the way the Taft forc es now "expect to control the Re publican National convention at Chicago. Two recent develop ments are tip-offs too flagrant to be ignored. AN THE ONE hand, the Taft- controlled Republican Na tional committee has nominated the Taft stalwart, Walter Halla- nan of West Virginia, for the key post of temporary chairman. Putting an avowed and open partisan of one of the candidates into this theoretically Judicial post was once tried, without success, by the Pennsylvania gang In 1880 Even in .1912, Eil- hu Root was not an overt sup porter of William Howard Taft. In short, the choice of Hallahan for temprorary convention chairman is- without precedent in Republican history. On the other hand, the Taft- controlled National committee is even now at work, packing the convention for Senator Taft. The device being used is simple. The Taft managers have included very special gimmick-rule in the provisional rules of the national convention. Under this gimmick- rule, the convention Is to hear no contests except for delegates- at-large. Contests for district del egates are to be referred to the appropriate state organizations. for Judgment in the states. The two states where there are major contests are Texas and Louisiana, The Texas and Louisiana organizations of Na tlonnl Committeeman Henry Zwcifel and John E. Jackson are like very small, very exclusive, rather disreputable T a f t-for-Presldent clubs. In Texas, there are 32 district delegates and six delegates-at-large; and in Louis iana there arc 11 district dele gates and four at large. Thus the gimmick-rule allows Zwcifel and Jackson to sit in judgment on 43 out of the 53 delegates they themselves have stolen. By this system, the prelimin ary packing of the Republican National convention Is to be eas ily accomplished. Hallahan is then to march grandly to the ros trum, in the Benckenstein man ner, and declare that all dele gates on the temporary roll may vote on the convention's perma nent rules. flMlE PERMANENT rules are of course to include the gim mick rule, giving Jackson, Zwci were Included. No strenuous dieting necessary.

The con vention's faked majority is to ap prove the gimmick-rule. With four out of five of the phony Southern delegates thus seated "under the rules," the conven tion is to hear the remaining con tests for delcgates-at-large. And Hallanan will rule that the phony delegates already seated by the phony majority can vote on these few remaining contests; and so the phony majority will perpetuate itself and gain full control. Such is the blueprint, which is so clear that it might as well be posted on the public notice boards. What Senator Taft's fa ther did in 1912 looks pale and almost prim compared to this de sign for a steam-roller prepared by his son's managers. It is hard to believe that when the final test comes, Senator Taft will choose to use the steamroller his managers have designed and built for him. Quite aside from the senator's reputation for sterling honesty, there is the practical politics of the problem. The steamroller may get the senator the nomina tion. But the nomination will hardly be worth very much af ter the scenes that will be enact ed in Chicago, before the watch ing eyes of the entire American electorate, if the steamroller goes into action as now planned. Moreover, even if the passions of his long struggle cause the Ohio senator to persist, it is al most impossible to believe that all his friends will follow him. In the Taft delegations from the Northern states, there are many men and women whose main aim is not to nominate the sen ator, but to elect a Republican president. Such as these, while ready to vote to give Senator Taft the nomination, are unlike ly to vote to steal it for him. For tunately, even the most harden ed organization politicians still feel some concern for appear ances. (Copyright, 1952, New York Herald Triblne, Inc.)

Too Many Chair Warmers To the Editor: I read in the Mail Tribune about the state employees being turned down for a raise in sal ary on account of the emergency fund being low on money. Well, I am a taxpayer and voter in this state and I think there are too many men sitting in a chair in the state employ ment office trying, as they say, to get you a job when two men could do the work of the six or eight there at more wages than they earn. Cut down the seat warmers and give two or three more wages, as that is all we need there, and let the seat warmers go and pick strawberries or what have you. Charles Shaffer, 208 W. Main street, Medford, Ore. Minute Men Outshone To the Editor: I would like to compliment the pilots that are flying for the anti-hail corpora tion for their efficiency in storm prevention. The Minute Men that you read of in history have nothing on these pilots. A cloud has only to ap pear in the sky in the Applegate valley that there is not a plane flies out to combat it and knocks it out whether it be hail or rain cloud,, and they don't leave un til every drop of rain has been knocked from the sky. We don't believe they have care or respect for the dry land former that lives down there. It is all the same to them if he can't exist as long as they pro tect the man who produces the pears. Let this practice continue for a while all the dry land farm er will have is a smile. But that will be OK with the folks in that town over there. For they believe that big busi ness all comes from the man that produces the pears. The pilots claim they don't prevent rain. But you know folks say many things besides saying their prayers. Let us take all industry away from that town over there ex cept the business that comes from the pears. The families and schools in that town over there would fare sort of poor if they had to de pend on business that comes from the pears. So, let's think a little more of those industries and folks out there and a little less of the man who raises the pears. Gerald Dickson, Star Route, Jacksonville, Oregon. Dog Rescued After 20 Days in Well Seattle (U.R) A plucky col lie dog named Lassie was recov ering Tuesday after being res cued from an abandoned dry well in which she had been trap ped for 20 days without food or water. Mrs. Carl Hansen, owner of the three-year-old dog, said Las sie was so weak she couldn't stand up and her eyes were coat ed so badly she couldn't see. The dog had lost 30 pounds. Volunteer Fireman Frank Jac ques discovered Lassie in the 30 foot well. The dog had dug a tunnel several feet long in a hopeless attempt to free herself. i i a I Russia's Quiz Game Brings Many Answers In Capitals of World Bv PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst Despite the efforts of Ameri can radio and television, the world's best quiz show is run by outsiders J. Stalin & Co. Unfortunate ly; It is a dead ly game and the wrong an swer" costs more than the set of dishes or luggage or the refrigerator we don't get to take home. I'hil Newsom Now the Russians have given us a whole set of new questions, and guesses as to the answer have been almost as varied as there are world capitals. The former Russian ambassa dor to Washington is going to Peiping ;is ambassador to Red China. The former ambassador to London is coming to Wash ington and Andrei Gromyko, formerly Russia's deputy foreign minister, is taking over the am bassadorial duties in London.. Shakeup Interesting The dove-tailing nature of the shakeup is interesting in that it places m Peiping, Alexander Panyushkin who is well acquaint ed in the United States; in Wash ington, Georgi Zarubin, an ex pert in international conferences who has been ambassador both to Canada and Britain; and, fi nally, in London, Gromyko who is rated in influence and impor tance second only to foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky. Thus it would seem that Rus sia is lining up her diplomatic sharpshooters for action on two in Congressional Quiz Questions and Answers on What Goes on at the Capital Furnished by Congressional Quartorlr News Features. Q I see Vice President Bark ley voted' the other day for the first time in two years. What was it all about? A As Senate President, the "Veep" can vote only in case of a tie. He voted "yea June 4 to break a 41-41 tie, thus saving from defeat an amend ment to continue the public labor industry make-up of the Wage Stabilization Board, but strip it of most wage disputes powers. Q Does.. Congress., have., any say about the agreements the U, S. and other countries made May 26 and 27 with West Ger many? A As treaties, the agreements must have U. S. Senate approv al, by a two-thirds vote of those present. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee began hear ings on them June 10. One of the documents, a peace contract, would give the German Republic almost complete independence. The other would extend the North Atlantic Treaty mutual de fense setup to "include West Germany. Q Are treaties which the U. S. enters into legally binding? A Yes. The Constitution" says that laws enacted by Congress, all treaties made under authori ty, together with the Constitu tion itself "shall be the supreme law of the land." Q What about the House bill to increase price supports for cot ton? A It would bring about an in crease by lowering the 1952 crop's standard for parity and price support purposes. The change would apply only if the Agriculture Deartment officially estimated a 16-million bale crop The rise in the price support lev el would be about three and one half cents a pound. The House passed the bill June 5 by a 156 62 standing vote. , Q Is there anything in the for eign aid bill to keep the govern ment from using some of ihe- money to sell the program in the U, S. A The Senate May. 28 approv ed SJ-19 an amendment by Hen ry C. Dworshak (R-Idaho) to Sewing this Community Is A PUBLIC TRUST OTo serve our community with In tegrity and consideration is the heart-felt wish of Perl'i and the en tire staff. You'll find our services ef ficient, dignified and reasonable. Call upon ui in time of need. PERL FUNERAL HONE 44 Years of Friendly Service sides of the world. Of the three appointments, Gromyko's seems most worthy of attention now. Gromyko has been described as a Soviet hatchet. Ho will arrive in Britain at one of its .most critical times. The country is politically di vided, with one clement strong ly opposed to rearmament and favoring closer relations with Russia, including as an immedi ate step a four-power conference to reach agreement on Germany. Despite some slight improve ment, Britain has not been able to halt its slide toward bank ruptcy. Those who oppose rearmament and favor closer relations with Russia charge that the rearma ment program is mostly due to pressure from the United States and that artificial restrictions are robbing Britain of trade with Russia and China which could reverse the whole economic trend. Job May Be Two-Fold Gromyko's job then may be two-fold: to exploit the already existing differences between the United States and Britain; and finally to upset the United States u and British-supported plan for . bringing German trops into ai European army: Altogether, the Russian diplo matic shakeup, biggest since the war, seems to be the result o two major diplomatic defeats and one bad guess. She guessed wrong on Korea and she failed in her efforts to prevent peace treaties with western Germany and Japan. Now her men in Washington, Peiping and London will be asked to recoup. bar spending for the dissemina tion within the U. S. of "general propaganda" in support of the Mutual Security Program, or to pay expenses of Americans go ing abroad to get background for "publicizing" the program with in the United States. Senate House conferees said this would not interfere with regular infor mation releases about foreign aid activity. The bill received final Congressional approval on June 9.
