MAIL TRIBUNE Jobs Knock at Their Door Along about graduation time mention was made in this column of the opportunities awaiting the young men and women who step forth from the halls of learning to make their way in the world. We were thinking principally of those who will enter employ ment of one sort or another, or continue their educa tion. But for a lucky few the boys with supple throw ing arms and eagle eyes the future appears even more rosy. ""ONSIDERT the cases of four Oregon boys: 18-year- old Eddie Umess of The Dalles; Jerry Zimmer man, the 17-year-old Milwaukie lad; and Medford's own 18-year-old Derald Wooton, and Joe Chez. Lcldie, a tine pitcher and all-around baseball star, torn between'a strong hankering for higher education, and the importunings of big league scouts, finally de cided to accept the reported $86,000 bonus offered by Tom Yawkey's Boston Red Sox and sign a contract. Ihere is no gainsaying $86,000, less taxes to say salary which will be forthcoming in the years ahead are mighty attractive too. Had Eddie decided to con tinue his education in order to enter one of the higher paid professions, he would, in all probability, be many years amassing a fortune bonus.

Keep Your Shirt On Jimmy Fidler, Hollywood writer, radio commen tator, and Jackson county ranch owner, complains in one of his recent columns that there is too much ac cent on liquor and drinking in present day movies. While he doesn't object to drinking when it has a definite Dart in the story, he can see no reason for all the incidental tippling which is dragged into scene after scene. We agree with Jim on the liquor matter but wish that while he was at it he had mentioned another trend which is being greatly overdone in movie making shirtless heroes.

Congressional Quiz Quasttoni and Amwen on What Goes on at tht Capital Furnlshad by Congrtnlonal Quarterly Newt Foaturta Q Has Congress decided on any "get-tough" legislation to diicurage future tax irregulari ties? A Rep. Cecil R. King (D. Calif.) Chairman of the House group which probed tax scan dais, May 16 offered a bill to stiffen record - keeping require ments, extend government en forcing powers and penalize in fluence peddlers, tax "fixers" and taxpayers who don't tell enough on their tax returns. At hearings May 26 and 27 the bill won support of Treasury Depart ment officials. Q Can WAC's become moth art and still be WAC's? A No, but there's a move afoot to change that situation. At a May 27 hearing before a Senate Armed Services Subcom mittee, Mrs. Alba M. Thompson, East Orange, N.J., a former WAC major who lost her commission when she had a baby, said Con gress should lift the ban on mili tary service for mothers. Sen. Russell B. Long (D.-La.) presid ing, agreed with her. Q How it U.S. production of planet coming along? A It is "far behind" Soviet production, especially in the field of jet planes, according to John D. Small, Chairman of the Munitions Board, who testified May 26 before the Senate Pre paredness Subcommittee. But Small said our production was pretty well off the ground. Q It the government going to subsidise American production of Jet airliners? A A Senate Committee is studying that problem. At a hear ing May 12, the Civil Aeronaut ics Board proposed a multi-mil- lion-dollar government loan pro gram to set up U.S. jet-propelled transport development. But the Defense Department said this might interfere with aircraft pro duction. Sen. Pat McCarran (D--Nev.) predicted May 13 that U.S airlines would begin using Brit ish planes unless the U.S. subsi dizes construction of American jets. Q Is Congress going to grant hatard pay to soldiers in the front lines in Korea? A Sens. Monroney (D.-Olka.) and Sparkman (D.-Ala.) and Moody (D.-Mich.) announced May 30 they would press for ear ly approval of a hazard bonus. They said there are nine kinds of hazard pay, but none for ground fighters. They questioned whether any service is "more hazardous than that of the GI in the foxholes." Rep. Lane (D. Mass.) May 26 also called for ex tra pay to front-line troops, A Senate amendment adding com bat bonus to the military pay raise bill was struck out before the measure became law May 19. Q Have many Congressmen line up behind either Taft or Eisenhower lor President? A A Congressional Quarterly survey of lawmakers who have publicly announced support of one or the other of these two candidates showed 13 Senators and 22 House members in the camp of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. Ohio) and 11 Senators and 24 House members who have come out publicly for Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower, as of June 1. Q Do the "Ike men" or "Taft men" In Congress vote most oft en with the majority of Repub licans? A Generaly, Taft supporters have higher party unity percent ages than do the Eisenhower the night desk. Thereafter, un til the day staff returns, Louis W. Casseis, Washington over night editor, and Ross Downing, eastern states division manager, will be in charge. Assignments of rewrite men for the same period are: Joseph L. Myler, day; Robert S. Bark doll, night; and William H. Mey ers of the Chicago staff, swing. UP wilt draw further upon its Washington bureau for n porters at the headquarters of candid ates and committees. " By Roland Co backers, according to CongreS' sional Quarterly's analysis of how many times they voted with their party majority on party- tine roll-call votes. But the "Ike men" have higher Bipartisan support percentages that is, they tend more to stand with the majority when most members of both parties vote the same way Q Does the foreign aid. bill make any provision for stimulat ing the European economy? A The Senate agreed May '28 to an amendment ofiered by Blair Moody (D.-Mich.) and 26 other Senators to use $150 mil lion in matching funds put up by recipient countries as a revolv ing fund for loans to European businessmen who showed a wil lingness to increase productivity. This would also strike at Com munist-dominated labor unions, Moody said, by helping Euro peans to "build the sort of econ omy in which the distortions and seduction of Red agents will fall on barren ground." Q Do Congressmen have an old-age pension plan? A Since 1946 Congressmen have been entitled to contribute six per cent of their salaries to a fund which provides pensions to retired members 62 years old. To be eligible, a Congressman must have six years of service and must have contributed to the fund for five years. The 66 former members of Congress now on pension get from $1,625 to $6,500, pending on length of service. The average is $3,328. Human Body Map In Three Dimensions Stanford, Calif. (U.R) A new kind of "map" of the hu man body which shows the an atomy in color and In three dim ensions is now being published. Four volumes on the nervous system have been prepared and are being used with remarkable results by medical students at Stanford university. They contain 238 transparent color pictures. When viewed through a stereoscope, the pic tures appear to have depth. The four books were five years in preparation by Dr. David L. Bassett, Stanford anatomy pro fessor. Eventually Bassett In tends to include every part of the body in the set. Physicians who have seen the new color drawings have call ed them remarkable and pre dicted the new "atlas of ana tomy" will revolutionize medi cal education. Experience Unneeded In Harness Racing Gnlosville, Wis. (U.R) If you want to get into harness racing, don't let lack of experience stop you, says Ted Dusseau, 49. Dusseau bought a four-year-old gelding named Herman Mc last May. Both man and trotter then took to the track for the first time. Herman Mc, with his owner-driver-trainer at the reins, won 11 of 15 starts, mostly on the Wisconsin circuit. The team also had two seconds and a third. Not only was Dusseau a rank novice as Herman Mc's driver, but he was aKo his trainer, groom and blacksmith. NOTICE ANNUAL MEETING OF PHOENIX COMMUNITY CLUB and YOUTH CENTER To Be Held" WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25 AT CLUBHOUSE 8:00 P.M. ELECTION OF OFFICERS In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The government of the United States announces it is consider ing buying airplanes from Euro pean nations we are associated with in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization.) Under the plan, we'd buy the planes directly from European makers, chiefly for use by Euro pean nations, lnsted of sending aid In the form of planes built in the U.S. rjDDLY enough, considering the fact that the story comes from Washington in the middle of a Presidential campaign year, the idea makes sense. Senator Russell, chairman of the senate armed services com mittee and a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Pres ident, said in Spokane last night that if we had three times as many warplanes in Korea as we now have we'd find the Russian backed Chinese communists MUCH MILDER In their truce demands. Like communists everywhere, he said, they re spect only superior force. We lack the FORCE with which to command their respect. Why do we lack the planes? Apparently we can't make them fast enough. ORDINARY common sense tells you if you need some thing badly and can't make enough of it to meet your needs you'd better buy it from some body else if you can. That is substantially what this proposal to buy planes in Europe amounts to. INCIDENTALLY, it is humilat ing and more than a little dis turbing to learn, as we're be ginning to, that with all our boasted production capacity we can't make war material as fast as we need It. Are we slipping? Ttf ORE from Washington: iTl "The house and senate, 175 million dollars apart, left to a conference committee today the decision on the size of the coun try's flood control and naviga tion program for the coming year." The house wants to spend only $492,434,900 for these projects which are often tainted heavily with the odor of the pork barrel. The senate wants to h'lst the total to $667,474,699. JUST a thought: "Is this trip necessary?" Why not say King's Ex for a year and put the whole two thirds of a billion dollars into the war material especially warplanes that we so badly need? YAYBE that wouldn't be good politics in a campaign year, but It would certainly be good common sense. THIS meteorologist guy, Jack Hubbard, of Olympia (Wash.), intrigues me. He tells a reporter he has chemicals so powerful that they can cause a big, threatening rain cloud to fold up and silently steal away -' He says he can prove It, and adds that he's going to have his men set up equipment UNDER BLUE SKIES to form a cloud. With his cloud dispersing chem icals, he'll then (he says) slice the cloud, which he himself pro duced, in half and WIPE IT OUT. TTE MAY be just shooting the breeze for the benefit of the reporters, but if he can back up what he says I think it's too much power to be held in one man's hands. OUPPOSE someone could get out of a test tube the secret of complete predictions of the future. Would it be good? I doubt It. S'pose you learned through such hocus-pocus that ten years hence you'd inherit a million dollars. Heck! You'd have it all spent by the time you got the million and in the process of spending it you'd learn bad hab its ihat would ruin you. . What if the process told you the exact day and hour on which you'd die of cancer or heart failure or maybe the pip? Again your life would be ruined. T'M NOT so sure but what there's a point at which we'd better call a halt on science. APPEAL TO REASON Omaha, Neb. (U.R) One Omaha restaurant owner dis plays this sign to catch the eye of potential patrons: "Come in and eat before we both starve." On The Side (Distributed by King You hear much of the June', brides but very little of the June bridegrooms. No justice in mai. However, the grooms are not without their supporters. One A. J. Brayshaw, author of a monumental work entitled 'Get ting Married," says the bride groom, should have a trousseau too. He says that during the first year of marriage the bride, because of her trousseau, is so much better dressed than the bridegroom that it gives him an inferiority complex. Keep this In mind, sir. When your son gets married why not provide him with a trousseau? Growing Old Among the innumerable tests offered in the form of a ques tionnaire is one titled "Are You Growing Old?" One query is: "Have you black circles under your eyes? Have your eyes lost their sparkle?" No black circles under my eyes, I checked on the sparkle. My eyes still sparkle when I see a good steak, a plate of corned beef hash with no poached egg, and when I collect $4 show ticket on a solid horse or see a dazzling honey blonde pass by. "If your hair growing gray?" is queried. Mine is slight ly so but can't be noticed much when I get a good close haircut. "Is insomnia the bete noire of your life?" is asked. Not mine. I am asleep in two minutes . or less after I hit the pillow. Passing By Eddie Arcaro. The scintillat ing Cincinnatian, The mighty mite of the turf has been riding twenty-one years, is 36 years old, five feet two, weighs 112, has a beautiful blonde wife, a daughter 10, a son 8, a Cadillac, and forty suits of clothes . . . Fred Waring. Veteran bandmas ter. His band "The Pennsylvan ians" takes its name from Penn sylvania State College and not the University of Pennsylvania as generally believed. In addi tion to being the possessor of much coin of the realm and en joying a high weekly income from his musical activities, Fred is the owner of a hotel, the Shawnee Inn and Country Club on the Delaware River. In fact, he is nearly as rich as Guy Lorn- bardo. . Horses b Women If that tragic occurence to a woman, a sudden run In a stocking, happens to your wife she has only herself to blame. If she has to buy thirty or forty pairs of nylons a year that is her fault too. Or so some hosiery manufacturers c o n-t 1 n u e to claim. They say now that nylons are easy to get, women don't take the good care of them they did In the past when the hosiery shortage was on. The manufac turers also say women want glamour" stockings and pass up the better wearing, thicker type. The vanity of the average female is also blamed. They buy their stockings too small. The manu facturers also claim most women know nothing about hosiery. They have no knowledge of the relation of the gauge and denier to the wearing qualities of nylon stockings-. Asides To look really well in a bath ing suit a woman should have approximately the following measurements. Height, 5 feet 5, weight 118. bust 33, waist 22, hips 33V4. Or so states an ex pert on the subject of feminine figure beauty . . . Nowadays when a doctor telephones a pre scription to a druggist, a phono graph recording is made of the call. This is required by Federal law. as the druggist must have evidence of the request for a prescription. Names Despite W. Shakespeare's im mortal crack, there is certainly something in a name. Especially a business name. I knew a suc cessful real estate man named C C. C. Tatum. He said he figured his three initial name was a great factor in his success. It attracted attention and made him easy to remember. I think it would help a business man to have A. B. C. D. for initials. As for example, A. B. C. Dolan. That name would certainly at tract attention on a sign or in an advertisement.

Too many men are elected to Congress because they have some oratorical ability, are tireless mixers, joiners, hand shakers, etc. Perhaps all voters should be required to take ex aminations to determine the ex tent of their intelligence and knowledge of what's going on. Briefly It is constantly said that women ruin the appearance of their hands doing housework. That state of affairs baffles me. Why don't they wear gloves while working? . . .

Mass Chest X-Ray Programs Valuable Chicago (U,R) Mass chest x-ray programs have proved of positive value In the fight against tuberculosis, according), to a high-ranking officer of the U. S. public health service. Dr. Robert J. Anderson of Washington, medical director and chief of -the division of chronic disease and tuberculosis, evaluated the x-ray programs in an article In the Journal of the American Medical association. Anderson said such surveys al so have aided in the discovery of other chest conditions such as tu mors, cancer, and heart and blood vessel abnormalities. He based his evaluation on the results of four years of partici pation by the U. S. public health service In 14 community-wide chest x-ray surveys, during which more than 5,500,000 per sons over 15 years of age were examined throughout the coun try. Rumor Causes Big Search for Bomber Walcott, la. (U.R) One small rumor grew and grew until the state highway patrol, private airplane operators and hundreds of residents turned out to search for a bomber that wasn't there. The rumor that a B-17 had made a forced landing in a field near here was reported tirst early in the morning. The story grew every time it was retold until by noon the state patrol was called into the search and pilots of a private flying service searched the area frqm tha air. Then the fire siren sounded. The report spread that the plane was on fire and hundreds of residents In the vicinity impa tiently trailed the fire equip ment to watch firemen put out a shed fire. The plane,and tha source of the rumor, never were found. To Set You Free Geo. N. Taylor Just now a friend tells us how his good works will save him from Judgment Day and the pains of hell. But says the Bible "Not by good works that we have done, but by God's mercy, he saves us" Titus 3:5. God saves us by giv ing Christ to die for us. After He had died for us, Christ left His body hanging dead, nailed to Geo. N. Taylor the cross, while He Himself went down Into eter nal hell and suffered the penalty our sins had earned us Isaiah. 53:10-12. By that, the saved arer never to see the Judgment of the lost. Then up from the grave He arose to give new life, days and ways to all who accept Him as dying for their sins. For other Bible facts write G N.T., 3101 S.W.
