EIGHT MEOFOKD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE

Fourth Thursday
For Thanksg
wing
Started in 1782
Hartford, Conn. U.R) The
official fourth Thursday 'of the
month observance of Thanks
giving is older than most history
books report, a history expert
said today.
Herbert J. Stoeckel disputed
the claim that George Washing
ton, with his 1789. proclamation,
gave America its first chance
officially to celebrate the holiday
on the fourth Thursday. -Honor
To John Hanson .
Stoeckel gave , the honor to
John Hanson, whom he called
the "first President of . the
United States. '; ; .;
Stoeckel is co-author of a book
which sought to prove that Han
son, not Washington,' was the
father of our country. The book
based the claim on the fact that
Hanson was elected President
of the U. S., although under its
old constitution, the articles of
confederation.
Hanson, seven years before
Washington's proclamation, set
the fourth Thursday of Novem
ber as an official Day of Thanks
giving. There was no official
proclamation between the ones
made by Hanson and Washing
ton, the Hartford writer said.
Hit-and-Mu Affair
Although it got an early start
as an official holiday, according
to Stoeckel, Thanksgiving was a
hit-and-miss affair, as far as pro
clamations go, until Lincoln's
time. . '. ....
Then, in 1865, Andrew John
son forgot all about Thanksgiv
ing in time for an official procla
mation setting it on the fourth
Thursday. He got around to it a
week later and it was celebrated
officially on Dec. 7, 1865.
It wasn't until 1941 that Con
gress, mindful of forgetful pres
idents, stipulated that the holi
day be observed for all time on
the fourth Thursday in November."
Talk by Russia of
Peaceful Co-Existence
Not Taken for Granted
Future Growth of
West Seen Fantastic
' New York U.R) Future
growth of the West may be even
more fantastic than the phen
ominal buildup that has occur
red since 1940, according to
Iron Age, national metalwork
ing weekly.
In an extensive study of t h e
past, present and future expan-
published Nov. 25, Iron Age re
ported people and industry are
pouring into the West at a start
ling rate, changing the whole
complextion of the Unted States.
"The West holds , put promise
of fulfillment of many basic hu
man needs," Tom Campbell, ed
itor, stated.
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower said today he has no
tendency to : take for granted
the Russian talk of peaceful cc-
fexistence.
' Mr. Eisenhower made the re
mark in response to a news con
ference question about fears ex
pressed by Senator Republican
Leader William F.' Knowland
that Russia is prompting "peace
ful coexistence" as a Trojan
horse to lull the free world into
a false sense of security.
. The President made it plain
that he had . no , public . quarrel
with Knowland who has asked
for a full dress review of the ad
ministration's foreign ' and de
fense policies.
- Mr. Eisenhower said he strives
to get legislative consultation
Klamath Murder
Plea Due Monday
Klamath Falls U.R) Circuit
Judge David R. Vandenberg yes
terday gave) James Qumton An
derson, 31, Beatty, until next
Monday to enter his plea to
charges of first degree murder
and assault with intent to kill.,
Anderson appeared in Klam
ath county Circuit court for ar
raignment in connection with
the shotgun slaying of Richard
David Miller, 25, Beatty, last
month, and the rifle attack upon
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Menasco,
Grants Pass, on the Klamath In
dian reservation early, in Octo
ber, ' '
Florin M. "Curly" - Coon . is
also expected to answer to a
second - degree murder charge
next Monday in connection with
a fatal beating administered his
wife, Lily, 51, in a Klamath
Falls hotel Oct 11.
District Attorney Frank Aid-
erson filed for a change in judge
following Coon's arraignment,
eliminating Judge Vandenberg
from the case. Coon's attorneys
filed a demurrer -to the indict
ment on the grounds of insuffi
cient evidence to prove a crime
in accordance with Oregon law.
Law, Journalism Talks
At Vocational Meeings
Recent guest speakers at the
weekly vocational conference
held . at Medford High school
were James V. McGoodwin, of
the legal firm of Van Dyke, and
Dellenback, and Jack. Jackson,
of The Mail Tribune.
Each spoke to groups of stu
dents interested in the profes
sions of law and journalism.
and consent on matters of that
nature, explains his side and lets
anyone else express their own
views. .
. In a general discussion of the
policy of peaceful co-existence,
Mr. Eisenhower . said he firmly
disagrees with-anyone who be
lieves the United States is in a
better position for peace by being
weak. " - . .: -v - ,?;
Mr. Eisenhower said co-existence
has a relatively , simple
meaning and the term peaceful
has many connotations. He said
if there is any suspicion of an
attempt to lull people into a
false feeling of security, it is
something that must be watched
very closely.
Nothing for Granted - ,
He said he wanted to offer
assurances that there is no ten
dency on the part of himself or
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles to take anything for
granted. -
The President said we must
be strong. He cautioned par
ticularly that we should . not
again try to find, peace -in the
world by disarming ourselves
or being weak.
Knowland's criticism of the
administration's, foreign and de
fense policies appeared to have
strengthened rather than weak
ened his grip on the Senate GOP
leadership. "
Knowland has strengthened
his position with GOP critics of
the administration by his .show
of . independence. There is a
sizable body of Senate opinion
which holds that the administra
tion floor leader in the Senate
is not a White House agent but
the spokesman for the Senate in
dealing with the White House.

her husband, would be able to
attend the funeral. The Beards
ley's four children arrived here
Monday and visited Mrs. Beards
ley, listed in good condition at

to Ames 30 miles north of here
