Pofluck By M-T Staff Mai Rogue River residents this week are talking about the housewife there who found a new way to clean a bird cage with a vacuum cleaner. Worked fine, too. Cleaned the bird cage up slick as a whistle. She won't do it again, how ever. No reason to do so. Seems the vacuum not only cleaned the cage, but pulled the feathers off of the canary and then pulled it up the spout to bird heaven. The name of the housewife was not revealed. Search for a cave, described by a Riddle prospector as big ger and gaudier than the Oregon Caves, in the Buck Rock area west of Riddle last week brought results. The search was made by Chuck Collins, parks depart ment head and Robert Kischel, lands department chief, while on an inspection tour of the county. Hidden north of Byers, which i on Cow creek above Riddle, the area contains outcropping of rock replete with sheer cliffs of several hundred feet Caves, they found, had been washed by the old Rogue river in the tides of the cliffs, but were cut in only 20 to 30 feet deep.

In fact it is not only No. I in general conversation but in front page news and has been sines our arrival. ' , Here is the front page banner on this evening's "Post," for ex ample: "Today worse but tomorrow relief." Everyone hopes the latter portion is true. A week with the mercury in the high 00s in NYC is surely a new record for ALL time. . And it isn't Juno or July, but SEPTEMBER! They don't consider the weather only the calendar at the Grand Central Oyster bar. Promptly on September 1 they started serving oysters for the first time since May, and in spite of the boat they are yum-yum, 'with clams not far behind. It is our favorite spot for seafood luncheons and even more important it's air-cooled. Hard to find good crab here, however, except in the Spring when the soft-shell varieties are coming in. Probably the Pacific cracked crab are served here somewhere but we have never found any good ones. a o No wonder the baseball series over in Brooklyn between the Dodgers and the Milwaukee (nee Boston Braves) is a drawing card. We went over yesterday expecting to roast but it was deli clously cool in the grandstand with a nice breast blowing from and over the right-field fence. For the first time since our arrival "Y Editor" was relaxed and comfortable. Moreover it proved to be a wonderful gam and for once we boosted for the winner Milwaukee. - For seven innings It was a nip-and-tuck pitching duel between Erskine, the young and speedy twirler for the Dodgers, and Bur dette for Milwaukee, who is also young but not so speedy. He has or had wonderful control, however, and a side-arm shoot that clipped the corners of the plate with amazing accuracy and deception. The "champs" who have six men on their squad hit ting over .300 couldn't hit their hats. This wis particularly true cf Hodges, their star first baseman, who was such a flop in last year's World Series. Only miracle can keep Brooklyn from the title, but they didn't look Ilk champions on Thursday and the Milwaukee team definitely DID! The "pay-off cam in the eighth inning when with the score tied st one-all the big "Bab Ruth" of th ex-Bottonlans, Mathews, third base, cam to bat. Whether or not Erskine Intended to pass him (there were two on base) may never be known. But it looked that way for he gave him three straight balls and no strikes. Your correspondent, was much interested as Erskine wound up to see what it would b a base on balls or ! w.ii ..nfnrtunataiv for Erskine it was "OR." And w can see the husky Milwaukee third baseman now as he Iroedjrith pr feet rhythmic power and the "follow-through" on that "would-be strike sending it out of the. ball park and somewhere In darkest Brooklyn. Fk.t mmwi n Ka 4 fie Kail h iaat nf tha lust couldn't cut it they got six hits in all but they wer scat tered, while the lads from Milwaukee got ten and if Erskine had not then called it a day tney mignt u.thH vHtH tm mi. was worth INO, from th standpoint or arama, was ruuii We have always liked "long-shots." Her is our favorite as of today: Milwaukee to win the pen nant th Brooklyn Dodgers to bout the odds 1 to 1001 It won't happen of courts. But TICALLY there is still a chance. Mathews had a great day all with his three-run homer but knocked out a thrM-baggsr and a single. Strang he doesn't rat among th top dogs, however, his batting average being below .300. Before the season ends he might but probably won't He is Just a short, Eddie. Plentr of snorts hereabouts.

Great chance to make soma hence when a boy named LaStarsa meets th heavyweight cham pion. Rocky Marciano. All th sports writers predict a push-over for the champ and it looks that way also to the undersigned. In fact we would say it was no match and should never have been made. But again you can't sometimes always, tell. Th MT sports editor emeritus was her in New York for example when th oer man Schmeling met Jo Louis, and thought that was no match too ma much so he refused to attend. But th German had studied Joe's style and saw he was a set-up for a right-cross, whereupon he won by a knockout! So history may repeat Itself and that is where the easy money comet in if th oddt are as high st fight time as they ar today.

Shelley, for one, has been th "star" of gossip column items that insist the Gassman marriage has run out of gas. The blonde charmer and th handsome Italian actor have lived together only a few months since their highly publicized transatlantic courtship and mar riage in April, 1952. FilmvUle has chattered with reports that the sensitive Gassman quarreled with Shelly over her colorful antics. Gassman's frequent movie location trips and theatrical tours in Italy added fuel to the gossip fire. Just Nonsense But the round-faced actress insisted "this is nensens." "I've Just had a wonderful visit with my husband," she said via telephone from Banff, Can ada, where she's working in a movie. "Saskatchewan." "He earn up here for my birthday and spent fiv days.

Beauteous Eleanor Parker had sworn to friends she'd never re turn to producer Bert Friedlob. They wer separated last June. But when Friedlob was rushed to th hospital, last week with bleeding ulcers, his estranged wife sped, sobbing, to his tide. Ida Lupino and Howard Duff kitted and mad up after a brief separation. Mona Freeman has been quietly dating auto dealer Pat Nerney although she di vorced him nearly a year ago.

McittGr of Fcict joMph md " a0 BOMBS AND THE BUDGET Washington What is the Eisenhower administration going to do about the air defense prob lem? The country still teems large ly unaware that the problem even exists. Yet this question is the subject of increasingly an guished debate within the high est Administration circles. One informed guess is that the Ad ministration will move less than halfway toward the kind of air defense effort proposed by he Eisenhower appointed Bull com mittee and a host of previous committees. Instead of upping current air defense outlays by 33 to $4 toll lion a year, air defense may get an additional $1 or $2 billion. With the Soviet air-atomic threat giowing all the time, this teems rather like throwing a rope half way to a drowning man. Yet in view of the painful fiscal and political dilemmas posed by the air defense problem, a half-way compromise on the issue seems like a reasonable guess. The fiscal dilemma is obvious. In round figures, the Treasury stands to lose some $9 billion from prospective tax reductions. The deficit for the current fiscal year is estimated at more than $3 billion. This means either new taxes, a heavily unbalanced bud get or huge reductions in spend ing, above all for defense. Short of new taxes, the bud get which President Eisenhower must present to Congress next January cannot even approach a balance unless the defense budget is reduced well below $30 $30 billion cannot conceivably billion- A defense budget under include the kind or air defense appropriations which the Bull committee and its half t dozen predecessors have proposed as the minimum essential for the national ecurity. i ' THE political dilemma derives, of course, from this fiscal dilemma. A heavily unbalanced budget will be attacked effec tively by the Democratic opposi tion, with many a quotation from campaign time Republican promitei. Any attempt to raise new taxes will be attacked even moreffecively. Yet a failure to deal at all with the air defense problem, which hat been dramatically highlighted by the Soviet hydro gen bomb, will also be grist to the opposition mill. And next year is an election year. , This enormously painful di lemma, moreover, mutt be re solved very toon, tlnce the bud get mutt be prepared well in advance of the President's Jan uary budget menage.

There is good reason to be lieve that Air Force Chief of Staff Nathan Twining favors the Bull proposals, and some reason to believe that Army Chief Staff Rldgway does not. The most im portant voice will be that, of the very able new chairman. Ad miral Arhur Radford- Radford is deeply concerned by the air de fense problem, and quite aware that this country now has no real air defense at all. But the new chiefs have only a few weeks to complete their sweeping new look at American defense planning. In this short time, the chiefs seem unlikely to Iron out a flat and final position on air defense. Some sort of compromise, such as heir pre- decessors repeatedly made, seems much more probable. 'Defense Secretary Wilson is deeply and publicly committed to the Joint Chief's New Look. For this reason, and because he likely to go along with any Joint greatly admires Radford, he is Chiefs' position on the issue. At least he is much less likely to be the advocate of economy at any price he might have been six months ago. ' THE leader of the economy faction is Budget Director Joseph Dodge. Dodge is an able man, who performed a major service when he reorganized Ja pan's chaotic economy. But both as banker and budget director, deficits tend to seem more dan gerous to him than hydrogen bombs. Able Treasury Secretary George Humphrey is also" a passionate deficit-hater- He hat taken the position that, if the ex perts decide that an effective air defense is really necessary, the Administration should bite the bullet and take the politically poisonous course of asking for new taxes. Thus most of the influences on Elsenhower are in the direction of half-way measures to meet the threat. Eisenhower is a natural believer in compromise, and he is also very conscious of his posi tion as the neophyte leaner oi a party which stands for lower taxes and a balanced budget The trouble, of course, is that you cannot compromise with hydrogen bombs. For all hit love of the "middle way,; moreover, his whole background and char acter dispose the President to put national security first Since the decision in the end is the President's lonely responsi bility, the half-way guess may not be a very good guess after all since half-way measures might quite conceivably be the prelude to national devastation, it is to be hoped -that this is so.

Truman, long-time ally of organ ized labor, stepped out of private life and a self-imposed ' silence today to speak at a big AFL-CIO Labor Day rally in Detroit There was little other major Labor Day oratory across the country. . President Eisenhower made a Labor Day statement yesterday Mexican Seminary Student Missing Near Las Vegas Las Vegas, N. M. 0M9 Scores of volunteers - searched lonely Hermit's Peak and its foothills today for some clue to the disappearance of a 19-year-old Mexican seminarian. Young Arturo. Rodfiquez, of Toluca, Mexico, vanished with out a trace Friday while he and three other students from the Montezuma ' Catholic Seminary were climbing the 10,250 foot peak on a hiking expedition. Officials of -the seminary said Rodriquez left his companions to find a shortcut up the mountain. When the rest of the party reached the top they presumed he had returned to the seminary and did not report hit disappear ance immediately. ' Capt. Ray Padilla had his mounted San Miguel County Sheriffs Posse search the moun tain and the surrounding terrain Sunday and posted lookouts for campfires Sunday night Volunteers Join Hunt Some 35 seminarians and other volunteers joined the hunt to day and bloodhounds were being sent to the mountain some 14 miles from Las Vegas. The jagged Hermit's Peak rises sharply more than 2,000 feet above its .foothills -and officers said Rodriquez might easily have slipped and fallen to his death. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Supply and demand note: Rain came to the parched Mid west and th news was enough to drop corn and soybean prices two cents or more in early trad ing. Wheat and oats slid off also- You'll remember that hot and dry weather news had hiked erain prices a few days earlier. The reasoning then was that heat and drouth would REDUCE the grain yield. The reasoning now is that rain will INCREASE the yield. THAT brings up the recent de cisive vote by the nation's wheat farmers to accept sharp reductions in wheat acreage in order to retain support of wheat prices at 90 per cent of parity. It seems reasonable that this should have stiffened wheat prices ma terially. ' It didn't. The reasoning seems to be that by increased use of fertilizer better soil handling methods. such as summer fallowing, etc., the SMALLER acreage will be made to produce at much wheat next year at the LARGER acre age hat been producing. . If that proves to be true, the supply of wheat will remain larger than the demand for wheat- Kick it around as we will, the law of supply and demand still remains a potent force in the markets.. . . aaaaasaassaaBSBe NOTE on taxes: The census bureau reports that last' year the 48 states (cities, counties, local school dis tricts, etc., not included) col lected in taxes the sum of $10,- 452,000,000, or $68.04 per head from all of us. , The federal government col lected approximately SEVEN TIMES ' that - amount from us. There was a time in the happy days of old when, the picture was almost exactly opposite. We then spent the bulk of our money for our LOCAL needs. HOW come? In part, the change is the re sult of two decades of worship at the feet of the idol of big gov ernment which, w wer told, would give us everything for free. In other parts (and a very considerable part) it is tha result of WARS, past, present and future. War is staggeringly ex pensive and the bulk of th cost of war is borne by th federal government .

Quite a record. I wonder what th record for men's wedding rings is: I regret to say I am reliably informed th majority of. men who wear wedding rings have an inclina tion to slip them off when away from . their wives. However, there may be somewhere, a hus band who has an unusual rec ord for keeping a wedding ring on. He probably is on of those wonderful Chicago husbands. Model George Sanders, Zsa Zsa Ga- bor's latest husband, has voiced the following opinion as to mod els, "Dior has done a service to mankind. The most completely sexless person in the world is the modern day model. With her skinniy figure and rounded shoulders, she has dominated the fashion world for too many years.
