It's A Small World To the Editor: Little did I think while fishing for salmon in the Rogue river twelve years ago that Mrs. Farrell's nephew, John Dellenback, would now be a permanent and enthusiastic resident of Medford, or while visiting your city this summer, would have the pleasure of talk ing to a former nurse of the Augustana Hospital of Chicago and now a resident of Medford. She was having a reunion with two other graduates of that hospital and I feel quite sure that one of them wag my nurse when, as a young sprout, I had to have some ankle surgery done at Augustana by Dr. A. J. Ochsner. The young interne by the name of Nelson Percy whom she thought had passed away is very much alive and his name is an nounced on the baseball broad cast quite often. I believe he is still the chief of staff. Saw the picture of these ladies in your paper but forget their names. W. F. Farrell, 808 Junior Terrace Chicago, 111. "W1 itorial Correspondence Rockford, HI., Aug. 2 If anyone in Medford is suffering from insomnia, we advise them to move here. It is one of the greatest places to sleep we have ever visited far, far better than Portland. In fact, we have never seen a place where so few of the people are awake and we 'don't mean at NIGHT only! The Medford police would like it here. We thought Medford held the record for disregard of the pedestrian, but it can't hold a candle to Rockford. Having no car your correspondent has done considerable walking, for while they have Yellow cabs here, it takes half an hour to get one. And more often while the booking office says one will "be there in five minutes," one almost never comes. We nearly missed our train as a result when we returned to Chicago for the Democratic convention. From the hotel, where we are now staying, it is a walk of only eight or nine blocks to the "old homestead" and the sidewalks while badly in need of repair, are wonderfully shaded by gigantic elms which arch over the paved streets, forming a perfect cathe dral nave of leafy green, keeping out the direct sunlight like a green canopy specially constructed by benevolent Mother Nature. They are exceptionally long blocks, however, and as we had to pack a typewriter and a package of books we called a taxi. We 11 be there in five minutes," was the familiar response. "Do you mean that?" and we recited some of our experiences. "Well five or TEN minutes!" - , " We waited 25 minutes after calling a second time with the same languid pledge by some female "Rip .Van Winkle." So Grandpappy had to walk! "But you see it's Saturday," was the Rockford alibil, "no one works on Saturday." "Then why don't they say so instead of pretending they do? And as far as that goes it hasn't been much better any other day. What's wrong? They are fighting hay fever pollen here now, have they ever fought the hook-worm?" v "But you ain't heard nothing yet," as Al Jolson used to say or did he use the word "seen"? Those who have ever attempted the job of cleaning out an "'old homestead" which has been living on borrowed time for near ly a decade, will appreciate what the undersigned has gone through during his two weeks residence here. We doubt if anyone else vould or could for words can hardly describe it. And only the basement and attic have been attempted. We grant there have been compensations, even some amusing ones, and memories of happy "days, and of that golden era for which there is no substitute YOUTH. But the dust and dirt, the cobwebs and the things that look OK but fall into dust as they are handled! And the sad undertones, the heat and the all around mussy mess! The net results to date have been microscopic in volume but not altogether nil in value, material and spiritual. The problem, however, has not been the salvage but the disposal of the tailings weighing around a ton a large portion of it dust and dirt with fur niture beyond repair and perhaps a dozen old rugs and mattresses, pictures, etc., etc. . This IS Saturday and we have been trying for three days to get some of the debris hauled off, but with no success. Plenty of promises, in fact two definite hours set, accompan ied by our plea we would rather have them refuse than make a deal and then not keep it. But they didn't refuse and they failed to keep either one. Nor did they phone though they had the phone number. We ran into one of them the following day, down a narrow alley, and when we inquired POLITELY why he had not kept his promise, he suddenly leaned over (he's an old, but able-bodied col ored man) grabbed himself amidships and whined that he had a terrible headache and cramps been terrible sick too much "kohn on dee cob," he reckoned, "he was agoin'. home and to baid!" We learned later he didn't go home and to "baid" but he just got tired and decided he would do the job some other day. All of which is explained by one of our few remaining school mates here as the direct result of the "New Deal, Fair Deal and FARO Deal, aided and abetted by that renegade So-and-So Tom Dewey of New York.". "Those coons," he continued, "get eight bucks a load, they could easy carry five loads in five hours which would add up to $40 for a HALF day's work! But do they DO it? No! they get enough to buy some beans and bread with a couple of jugs of corn, and then they loaf and shoot craps the rest of the time. Yep, as the Democrats sing it 'Happy Days Are Here Again,' for the No-Goods, the spongers, the crooks and the loafers and the Faro Dealers of course!" - . Too bad our old Gad-Fly Pal and Captious Critic Gus N. couldn't spend a few weeks here. He would thoroughly enjoy he curbstone conversation, and might wake up some of the natives, white and black. Only fear is he couldn't get an argument on poli tics for as before remarked on the banks of the Rock they vote the GOP ticket straight and have since the second battle of Bull Run. (We have been wondering of late regarding the 100 per cent Taft support in this soporific settlement of the catfish belt PER HAPS they think it was WILLIAM HOWARD Taft they were working and cheering for two or three weeks back! That might explain the vehemence and the long period of mourning! ' We had luncheon with a former Medford boy before leaving Chicago. He was feeling greatly -stimulated, he had jost called up the Chicago Tribune, stopped his subscription, and told them what he thought of their continued unfair and vicious attacks on Gen eral Eisenhower. Well perhaps there were many others who did the same thing. At least for the past week in cartoon and editorials the vicious Old-Man-of-the-Sea (and the Illinois National Guard!) has said nothing insulting regarding the Republican candidate and turned all his guns of wrath and candidate. Governor Stevenson. That won't please the Democrats, but it will the Republicans. - As for the Independents (who decide all national elections anyway) they don't take the Tribune or if they do they never read its editorial page.

On the day George Thieme took over his newly-purchased bar and grill he was met by a city food inspector who pointed out an inferior rating posted on the door and annunced: "I got news for you, Bud.

Matter of Fact EISENHOWER McCARTHY Washington. A great many voters perhaps enough to de termine the outcome of the elec tion are anxiously awaiting the answer to a simple question What is Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower going to do about Wiscon sin's Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy.? Eisenhower and his chief ad visers, according to Republican leaders close to the Eisenhower high command, have now agreed on at least a tentative answer. The Eisenhower plan for dealing with McCarthy --d McCarthy- ism starts with a major speech early in the campaign. In this speech, Eisenhower will warn solemnly of the dangers of in ternal subversion and Commu nist infiltration into the govern ment. But at the same time he will also voice an equally sol emn warning of the dangers of indiscriminate hate - mongering and character assassination. He will not mention McCarthy by name, but his meaning will be clear enough. It will become clearer as time goes on, in that Eisenhower does not intend, ac cording to this present plan, to appear at all in McCarthy's na tive Wisconsin. Eisenhower,also at present does not plan to ap pear in Indiana, where Sen. Wil liam Jenner is running for re election. ' . The reason Jenner, among sev eral other cut-rate McCarthys, has also been chosen to receive the silent treatment from Eisen hower, is rather obvious. Mc Carthy has as much as said that Gen. George Marshall is a trait or, while Jenner has said it out right, calling MarshaU "a living lie" and "a front man for trait ors." Marshall is, of crurse, deep ly admired and respected by Eisenhower, who perhaps owes more to Marshall than to any other man. - HPHE silent treatment for Mc- - Carthy and Jenner is only the first part of this plan, however, The second part is to do every thing possible, from personal ap peal to public indorsement, to appease the extreme right wing of the party. Thus Sen. Everett Dirksen, the protege of Chicago's Col. Robert R. McCormick, has been invited to take his place in the inner Eisenhower circle. Dirksen bitterly attacked Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, and by impli cation the whole moderate wing of the Republican party, at the recent convention. He used an unpleasant mixture of Mc Carthyism and phony evangel ism in his election campaign in 1950. Wisconsin s powerful Tom Coleman, a chief McCarthy backer, is also to be appeased. Wayne J. Hood, a Coleman aide, and a McCarthy man, has been made executive director of the Republican National Committee. Meanwhile, the Vice-Presiden tial nominee, Sen. Richard. Nix on, has been given the special assignment of binding up the wounds inflicted on the right wing of the party at the conven tion. Nixon set to -vith a will at the recent convention in Sen, Robert A. Taft's native Ohio, dis tributing handsome compliments wholesale to the Taftites present. Finally, Senator Taft himself has agreed to take a major part in the campaign, making a number of important speeches. In short, the intention is to try to isolate McCarthy and Jenner only; and to unite the rest of the party firmly behind Eisenhower. It remains to be seen whether the plan will work. The Eisen hower managers are certainly wise to avoid the mistake made by Wendell Willkie, who con spicuously snubbed the regular leaders and leaned heavily on his amateur admirers, undoubt edly losing hundreds of thou sands of votes in the process CERTAINLY, if to win, the rej Eisenhower is regular organiza tion workers, most of whom were Taft men before the con vention, must be persuaded to work hard and enthusiastically for Eisenhower. The trouble is that, despite the surface show of amity, many of these people are still bitter about what happened in Chicago. Any deviation by Eisenhower from the true faith By Roland Coe looking so sore about. You'll By Joseph and Stewart Alsop of "anti me-too Republicanism will increase this bitterness Sen. McCarthy, moreover, es pecially since he was invited by the Taft managers to address the Republican rally in Chicago, has been accepted by this factior as a high priest of the true faith. Thus there will be much pres sure on Eisenhower to abandon his present plan for dealing with McCarthy, in the name of party unity. The outcome really depends on whether Eisenhower will re main true to himself. If he does so, it is downright impossible to imagine Eisenhower, a warm hearted man and a sincere ideal ist who instinctively hates the mean and second rate, embrac ing a McCarthy or a Jenner. And in this situation as in so many others in this campaign, being true to himself is undoubtedly the best politics Eisenhower can play. The ten million or so in dependent voters will elect the next President. A great many of them certainly very much want a change in Washington. But a great many more could not bring themselves to vote for any can didate who had embraced Wis consin's special shame. (Copyright, 1952, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) Congressional Quiz Questions and Answers on What Goes on at the Capital Furnished by Congressional Quarterly News Features (Q) How many committees are there in Congress? (A) There are 34 standing (permanent) committees 15 in the Senate and 19 in the House. Joint committees (with members from both houses) and Select committees are also set up to examine ' special matters. They may be continued or term inated according to need. (Q) What is a ?'runoff" pri mary? ' (A) Some states have runoffs whenever there is no candidate with a majority of votes in the original primary. In the runoff the two contestants who get the most votes in the primary are the only candidates. (Q) Do all states nominate Senate and House of Represent atives candidates by direct pri maries? (A) No. Most states do, but some use the convention sys tem. The selection of candidates is governed by state statutes, while federal statutes control the general elections. Early in U.S. history direct primaries were rare, but the trend in re cent years has been to that meth od of nominating with only a few states Tteeping the conven tion system. (Q) I notice that the Demo cratic and Republican vice-presidential nominees are Senators. Is it unusual for a. Senator to get the vice presidential nomin ation? (A) No. The Vice-President of the United States officially serves as President of the Sen ate, so the two major parties often nominate men who are familiar with Senatorial proce dure.

Earthbound Humans Devoting Thoughts To Flying Saucers By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst What with stories of flying saucers and rumors that men from outer space may be poking their lnter- planetary noses into our affairs, it's getting almost old - fashioned to talk about the atom bomb. N e v e r t he- less, a lot of e a rthbound humans, in cluding those Phil Kewsom in government, still are doing a lot of thinking about it. A presumably sophisticated female got so upset a couple of years ago about what she. figured soon was to happen to New York that, she decided to flee to Tahiti and live on the beach. She's still there. A film actor on the West Coast bought him self a cave. He stocked it with edibles and potables and an easy chair and now knows just where he is going to sit it out when the atoms start exploding. Those are only flimsy side lights on a grim world story. Some arresting figures on Rus sia's vast atomic effort recently came from Allied sources in Ber lin and from Yugoslav sources in Belgrade. Russia Mining Uranium These sources estimate that in three of her satellite states East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria Russia may be using up to 500,000 men and women to mine uranium. Most of it low grade uranium, at that. Those areas, in .addition to the Altai Mountain uranium mines south of the Siberian city of Tomsk, apparently are Russia's chief source of nuclear fuel. No estimate has been made on the number of persons working the Alta mines, but in all areas the great proportion is slave labor. Up to 30 per cent of the workers are said to be women, handling even the heaviest jobs. Prisoners Working The Yugoslav Review' of In ternational Affairs, a pulication of the Yugoslav union of Journal ists, says 150,000 prisoners are working the mountains of the Erzgebirge, in the East German province of Saxony, about 70,000 in the Czech mines of Joahimovo and more than 4,000 at Goten, dents Alben W. Barkley and Harry S. Truman were Sen ators at the time of nomination. (Q) Does the Congressional Record include anything that is not said on the floor of Con gress? (A) Yes. Congressmen fre quently get permission to insert magazine articles, editorials, newspaper stories and other ma terial which is not read from the floor. About half the Cong ressional Record for the 82nd Congress 1951 and 1952 was devoted to a special appen dix in which Members published anything they wanted on the record. (Copyright- 1952, Congression al Quarterly). Salem Girl Killed In Auto Accident Salem U.P.) Eighteen-year-old Ann Louise Woodman see, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. D. Woodmansee of Salem, was killed Monday night in a highway accident on the Pacific highway, seven miles north of Albany. Jack R. Wikoff, 18, driver of the car in which Miss Wood mansee was a passenger, suffer ed cuts and bruises but hospital attendants said 'his condition was 'good." State police said Wikoff's car apparently hit gravel at the side of the highway, swerved out of control into a bridge railing and overturned.

Allied intelligence sources in In the Day's By FRANK JENKINS Political note from Mos cow: Izvestia (the Kremlin's heel dog newspaper) says it's a toss up between Eisenhower and Stevenson. Both strictly NG, it pontifi cates. Eisenhower is Wall Street's man, it adds, but SO IS STEV ENSON picked by the money men just in case Eisenhower should fail to make the grade. VOU KNOW, I think maybe the Russian propaganda boys may have been misinformed. I think BOTH are good men. Ex ceedingly good. Better, w in fact, than we had any reason to ex pect. Incidentally, I think sincere Democrats and there are MANY such have the nomin ation of Ike by the Republican convention to thank for the nom ination of Stevenson by the Dem ocratic convention. Anyway, it's a good thing for the country to have two good candidates for President. FLATION NOTE: It looks as if the cost of liv ing will hit a new high later this month. That's the forecasts from the price stabilization chiefs. It follows a report that food prices alone reached a rec- 'ord peak during the first two weeks in July. WELL, WHAT do you expect when you throw a match into a patch of dry grass? With the sun hot and the humidity low. You're pretty apt to start a fire, aren't you? - - Oru war economy, with roughly a third of our produc tion going into planes, tanks, guns and ammunition (which you can't eat or wear or use to shelter yourself with) is the dry grass. The long steel strike, with its inflationary settlement, pro vided the match. When dry grass and .lighted matches get together, a fire is al most sure to follow. JJERE, OF course, is a thought: It may be another case of the boy who cried WOLF. The Wash ington "hold your hats, boys, here we go again" dispatch con tinues: "Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall says the record - breaking climb of prices in July answers those who say there is no longer any need for controls. Economic Stabilizer Roger Putnam goes a step further. He blames Repub lican congressmen for crippling xne controls "program." Nothing burns a bureaucrat like CUTTING OFF JOBS in his department. He always fig ures that in time, if that trend continues, HIS job might be cut off. Arnall and Putnam may merely be hollering for more money to spend. This always . happens when congress cuts an appropriation. TUT Washington is a long way off. Let's get closer home. The Oregon unemployment commission and the U.S. bureau of labor statistics have just com pleted a cooperative study show ing that between January 1950 and January 1952 GROSS week ly earnings of Oregon manufac turing production workers rose from an average of $61.82 in 1950 to an average of $76.29 in 1952. Pretty soft, eh? We never had it so good. Don't let 'em take it away! TUT (Quoting the cooperative study): "The RISE IN THE COST OF LIVING, as measured by the U.S. bureau of labor statistics show consumer price index for Portland, CUT THE GAIN in gross weekly earnings to $2.42. "HIGHER FEDERAL IN COME TAX and social security payroll deductions FURTHER CUT THE INCREASE IN WEEK LY EARNINGS to 82 cents for a Quiet Dignity... marks every service from Perl's Funeraf Home.

PERL FUNERAL HOME 44 Years of Friendly Service Berlin place the nifmber of re cruits and forced workers in the East German uranium operation at more than-300,000. So frantic is the Soviet search for atom - producing ore that whole towns are being blasted out of the way for low-grade uranium seams.

"THAT is to say: They gave you a whopping up of $14.47 in your weekly pay check, but they TOOK ALL BUT 82 CENTS OF IT AWAY FROM YOU in higher prices and higher taxes. Looked at in that light, it isn't so soft. THAT'S what inflation does. It BOUNCES PRICES. When prices bounce, oppor tunities are created for SPECU LATORS (the quick buck boys, the smarties who buy and sell high and quick) to make a lush profit. There has been a lot of that in recent years. The proof of it is provided by the luxury hotels that have been springing up in Florida and elsewhere. And the race tracks. And the plush gambling casinos. Such places are supported by the get-rich-quick crowd. SPECULATORS thrive on infla J tion. They make it quick and get out quick and" if recent news means anything a lot of them manage to escape paying taxes on a lot of their quick prof its. People who PRODUCE don't do so well. They get it in the neck in the form of higher living costs and higher taxation. War Hero Denies Rescue of Woman Wasn't Authentic Washington (U.R) May nard H. (Snuffy) Smith, who has had his ups and downs as a hero, faced arrest Tuesday for a "brave deed" which made him .the toast of the capital last week. False alarm charges were lodged against the Medal of Honor-winner after a bereaved young mother, whom he "res cued" from a sixth-floor window ledge Thursday, confessed that her attempted suicide was just an elaborate hoax. Offered Money Mrs. Ernestine Lucille Whom ble, 21, said she was offered $500 to fake the jump because Smith wanted publicity to pro mote himself for governor of Virginia. Assistant Corporation Coun sel Clark King promptly issued a warrant, for arrest of the 41-year-old former Air Force ser geant on charges of causing false reports to the police. Con viction on the charge carries' a penalty of $300 fine or 10 days in jail, or both. Smith told the Washington Post Mrs. Whomble may be suf fering "from hallucinations of grandeur." He firmly denied the suicide attempt was a hoax and said he never had "seen or met" Mrs. Whomble before attempting to drag her in off the sixth floor ledge. President of EOCE Submits Resignation Ashland (U.R) Dr. Rod erick G. Langston, president of Eastern Oregon, college of Ed ucation, resigned Tuesday to accept a teaching position at Los .Angeles State college. The resignation was handed to the Oregon State Board of Higher Education meeting on the campus here of Southern Oregon college. Langston said he wanted "to work in my spec ialized field of elementary edu cation more directly than an ad ministrative position permits." 4-H Club News Sams Valley Club Sam Valley Tractor Main tenance 4-H club will meet at the home of Kit Day on August 7 at 7 p.m. Lee Sanderson, Reporter o
