Skipper of Tender
Finds Self up Creek
Williamston, N. C. (U.B
When the skipper of a 50-foot
ship tender refuses to ask advice
he's liable to find himself up a
creek
That happened here when a
tender, bound for Morehead
City, N. C from New Jersey,
came down the inland waterway
into Albemarle Sound.
The skipper refused to tell
bridgekeeper Hugh Spruill
where he wanted to go. Think
ing the tender was part of a
salvage operation up the Roan
eke River, Spruill sent it that
way.
The craft passed a logging
crew up the river and asked
how far it was to Morehead City,
but before the loggers could tell
them they were on the wrong
river going the wrong way they
had shoved off again.
The river became shallow, the
craft stuck on a mudflat. A tug
freed it and the tender continued
obstinatly upriver.
When it finally got to the Bugs
Island Dam the skipper decided
to ask some questions and listen
to the answers.
State Senator Robert D
Holmes, Gearhart, yesterday de
scribed the Eisenhower adminis
tration's Hells Canyon develop
ment program as "one of the
colossal blunders of all times."
Holmes was guest speaker at the
annual Jackson County Dem
ocratic picnic at TouVelle State
park.
The "giveaway of Hells Can
yon damsite to private power
as opposed to its full develop
ment by the federal government
is "another demonstration of the
fear, short-sighted planning and
unbelief in their government to
do a needed lob for the people"
that has characterized the pres
ent administration, Holmes said
McKay Rapped
"They say in effect:
'Let private utilities do the
job on a small scale. Never mind
the neoole and their interests.
We're afraid. The people don't
know, or they'd be afraid' . .
And the spectacle Is even sadder
for us Oregonians," Holmes
added, "because right in the
forefront of these apostles of
fear and petty plans is one of
our own (referring to former
Governor McKay) now elevated
to high position in the cabinet."
Holmes declared there was a
"striking parallel between this
administration and that of War
ren G. Harding " He listed the
similarities as "a return to nor
malcy . . . evasion of govern
mental responsibility . . a pro
gram of slogans and platitudes
. . . a giveaway tendancy and a
do nothing policy."
"Attuned to Needs"
He contrasted the' New Deal
and Fair Deal as programs of
fluid change, forward planning,
progress for all the people and
dedication to the philosophy that
no job is too big for this country
to surmount. He said the Dem
ccratic party was "attuned to the
needs of our swiftly moving
time"
Turning his attack to the "one
party government" in Oregon,
Senator Holmes pointed out that

MEDFORD, OREGON
there has not been a Democratic
legislature since 1878 and out of
the past 10 governors of Oregon
nine have been Republicans.
Republican administration pol
icy in this state over the years,
he said, has shown "more and
more distrust of the people, such
as the continual attacks on the
initiative and referendum ... a
desire to resist change of any
kind as long as possible ... re
cent scandals in the liquor com
mission . . . more and more un
rest in our penitentiary, cul
minating in the shocking and
completely political treatment
of Warden O'Malley. who was
made the goat and fired in an
attempt to get the Republicans
off the hook . . game commis
sion scandals . . . Secretary of
State's 'Pear Deal' . . constant
attempts by the legislative
bodies to ram a Sales Tax down
the people's throat in spite of
their repeated demonstration at
the polls that they are over
whelmingly against it."
"Thwart Power Development"
Holmes said there had been
an alignment of Oregon state
executives with other northwest
states "to thwart needed power
development, under the guise of
states rights and co-operative ef
forts." Other unhealthy develop
ments of the state government
policy he cited as "the school
land scandals . . the wartime
$50,000,000 giveaway of tax
money that even now threatens
Oregon's fiscal position . . .
vicious anti-labor legislation
. . . the shameful opening of re
lief rolls . . . reluctance to enact
a badly needed school reorgani
zation law "
All these, he pointed out,
proved the necessity for Dem
ocrats to accept the responsibili
ty of returning to power in Ore
gon. Brief talks were also made by
State Chairman Howard Morgan
and National Committeeman
Monroe Sweetland. Master of
ceremonies for the picnic pro
gram was Medford Attorney
Robert Duncan, while telegrams
from national and state officials
unable to attend were read by
Attorney James M. Main. Com
edy sketches were contributed
by the Reliable Duo. Ten coun
ties sent delegations to the picnic
and there were about 200 in attendance.
August in New York
Safest for Vacation
Fortland, Me. (U.R) A
physician who has made an ex
tensive study of accidents ad
vised members of the Maine
Medical Association, "If you
want the safest possble vacation
take it in August in New York
City."
Dr. John H. Powers of Coopers
town, N. Y., explained that New
York City has 53 per cent of the
Empire State's population but
only 40 per cent of the fatal acci
dents. Dr. Powers said . towns and
villages with less than 24 per
cent of the New York State
population also have 40 per cent
of the fatal accidents. Maine's
rural fatality rate Is similarly
high, he said.
The physician said he suggests
August for vacationing in New
York City because that's the
month when rural accidents are
most numerous.
Men, not women, wear veils
among the Tuareg tribes of the
central and western Sahara.
Night and day the male nomads
wear long clothes wound around
head and face, leaving exposed
only the eyes and tip of the nose.
