Three Aim for Point Lead at
County Speedway Tonight
Tnnlirht at the Jackson County
Speedway in Medf ord, the hottest
bardtops In this area gather for
an evening of racing, roaring
engines and screaming tires. The
special event, always a thriller,
will be made up of the fastest
cars and drivers of the season,
out to prove that they really de
serve the tile of race drivers.
Point standings are so closely
grouped that either Elmer Sise
more in M46 or Bob Wilcox in
Mil could move Into the first
position now held by Bernie Mil
ler. Bernie has no idea of letting
up on the throttle and losing
that, hardwon first place but
Cecil James thinks that he ought
to be back in that position.
Sudden Sid Budden is slated
for another appearance and this
time Sid says that he will stay
out of trouble and a long way
out in front of the pack. Sid has
been one of the "hardluck" kids

Federal Tax Laws
Claimed Antiquated
Washington U.R) Chairman
Daniel A. Reed, (R-N.Y.), said
today six weeks of hearings by
the tax framing House Ways
and Means committee have
shown federal laws to be unfair,
confusing and antiquated.
He said a top to bottom tax re
vision bill will be the "first or
der of business" before his com
mittee in the new session of
Congress starting Jan. 9.
While the committee will
postpone decisions on most of
the major tax reform issues until
next year. Reed said it has al
ready "tentatively" agreed on
two changes. One would give a
better- tax break to parents
whose dependent children have
part time jobs; the other -would
simplify the system of filing
quarterly declarations of esti
mated tax.

The morning was drizzly and
gusty in the Washington area,

National Pastime
Marrying off the royal family
is a British national pastime and
the gossipers have linked Mar
garet with a longer list of pos
sibilities than any princess be
fore her. Margaret has dined
with them and danced with them
and then, just as the gossip
reached white heat they have
gone off and married someone
else.
The Earl of Dalkeith, heir to
five castles and a half a million
acres, shattered many a hope
when he married a beautiful

Around Hollywood
By AUNI MOSSY
United Pratt Ctrrtiaf Jft
Hollywood (U.R) A new jun
gle movie starring Rita Hay
worth and an assortment of lions
and elephants
is ready to be
unveiled, but
this is one role
Rita. wants
kept out of the
theaters.
This epic
also stars Aly
Khan.
Since Rita
Anne Mosey now Is romanc
ing Dick Haymes, an immigrant
in hot water for jumping the
border, she wants no part of
any movie co-starring her with
Aly. But a Philadelphia com
pany is busy editing the picture,
and unless Rita comes up with
a lawsuit, the movie will grace
the theaters.
Sells Out
The movie "Champagne Sa
fari," was filmed by Rita's busi
ness manager, Jackson Leighter,
when Rita and Aly went lion
hunting in Africa three years
ago.
"I sold the company my In
terest in the picture and have
nothing to do with it now, for
personal reasons," Leighter said.
"The film can't show one foot
of Rita or her studio will sue."
The film shows the handsome
Prince Aly plowing through
darkest Africa in a pith helmet
Following him are several truck
loads of champagne.
Champagne Nightly
"We'd have champagne with
dinner every night," said Leigh
ter. "It's his favorite beverage."
. In the film Aly poses with a
2,500-lb. buffalo he killed. Croco
diles, elephants, lions and other
animals got into the act, too.
Miss Hayworth is not shown
closing in for the kill. She
doesn't like hunting, Leighter
said, and spent most of her Afri

In her "scenes" she stars at re
ceptions tossed for the couple
In Africa and cities on the way.
It was after sounds of hunting
died down that Rita packed up
and went home without her
prince. '
"I understand they're dubbing
in African music I recorded
there, so they are putting a lot
of money into finishing the
movie," said Leighter.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TROCHE WINE
On Tho Side bye v- owiing
(DbtriWe by Klaa
Are the tastes of present day
playgoers more sophisticated
than in the era of the pre-World
I? I would say not Consider
some of the plays that were
Broadway hits when your grand
ma, was a whistle girt For ex
amples, "The Affairs of AnatoL"
"The Devil," The Phantom Ri
val," 'A Pair of Silk Stockings,"
'Mrs. LeffingweU's Boots," The
Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith" and
"The Concert" Also take the
songs of the pre-World War I
period. They treated that thing
called love with a much lighter
and more sophisticated touch
than intense ballads of the pres
ent. Examples, "Call Me Up
Some Rainy Afternoon," "Just
Because She Made Those Goo
Goo Eyes," "I Just Can't Make
My Eyes Behave," "Won't You
Come and Play With Me?" aad
"He's A Cousin of Mine."
Beautiful Girls
Kipling, in one of his poems,
expressed the view that every
man has one place he would
prefer to live above all others.
Kipling's choice was Sussex,
England. In the town of Bram
ber, in Sussex, the girls out
number the men by four to one.
And practically all the girls are
beautiful. There may be a town
in the United States where a
similar condition exists but I
don't know where it is.
Drinks Per Fifth
It has been claimed there
are eighteen holes on a stand
ard golf course because there
are eighteen drinks in a bottle
of Scotch. The decision was ar
rived at by a group of golfers
who took a drink at every hole
on chilly days. I doubt the truth
of this yern. However, the ques
tion arises how many drinks
are there in a fifth of Scotch?
Or how many should there be?
I think eighteen is about right
but I understand most bartend
ers are required to get twenty
four drinks out of a fifth.
Passing By
Rosalind Russell. Highly vig
orous, vivacious and versatile
screen and stage luminary. Now
enjoying the benefits of a won
derful part in that musical stage
hit titled "Wonderful Town." De
spite a recently reported illness,
Rosalind has yet to miss a per
formance in that piece. Whether
this is due to a belief that the
show must go on, or a feeling
that the understudy must not go
on, has been the subject of dis
cussion. That is, among under
studies. In any event. Miss Rus
sell must be credited with the
possession of the endurance of
a spartan woman. . . . Franke
Menke, America's foremost au
thority on sports. Frank's re
markable book titled "Encyclo
pedia on Sports" is an argument
settler that should be immedi
ately available in all places
where sport fans assemble. No
men's club should be without it.
All bartenders should have a
copy handy.
What's the record for earnings
from the recording of one song?
It is claimed that Ricard Tauber
earned $300,000 from the records
of his song titled "You Are My
Heart's Delight" . . . After Hol
lywood divorces, the participants
usually say, "but we will still
be the best of friends." Few
voicing this promise live up to
it. However, Ida Lupino, and Col
lier Young have. Ida's ex-husband
is married to Joan Fontaine
but is still the business partner
and friend of Ida. . . . When a
young woman consents to ride
on the rear of a motorcycle
driven by her boy friend, that is
a sign of real love Incidentally,
when Mary Pickford and Buddy
Rogers were in their courtship
period. Mary often went riding
on the rear seat of Buddy's mo
torcycle. SaysHe

Wedding Rings
What is the inscription on your
wedding ring?, If you have no in
scription, you have been cheated.
All wedding rings should have in
scriptions. The inscription on the
wedding ring of one happily mar
ried California couple is "Stan

anniversary Stan gives Laura a
