How About Money?

No Dead Beats
Once again the city's firemen have proven that
Medford has one of the best small-city fire depart
ments in the state.
Routed out at 1:12 a.m., they were on the scene
of the Pinnacle plant fire last Friday morning within
scant moments. Their training paid off in the rapid
laying of lines, and of moving in to protect surround
ing buildings.
The fact that flames were roaring through both
attic and basement when they arrived made it impos
sible to save the structure, although they almost got
it under control before the flames ate through the
floor and "blew out" into the main floor with the,
force of an explosion, spreading searing flames al
most instantly throughout the building.
.
HTHERE were a couple of close calls on the fire
once when the main floor was enveloped in flames
as firemen were inside; and once when a wall toppled
outwards seconds after six firemen had moved back
from the inferno. . '.
In four or five hours the flames were under con
trol, adjoining buildings had been saved against what
at first looked like impossible odds, and the men be
gan the task of mopping up.
HIEF Gordon Barker reported that later in the
day the firemen, weary from the hours of fire
fighting were engaged in cleaning up their equip
ment to get it ready for any other alarm. But as they
did so, the chief said, they kept discussing the fire
how they could have fought it better, what they did
wrong, what they should have done.
You can't go wrong with a crew like that, Chief
Barker said proudly. "Not

Bob Holmes, one of the really friendly things
about the Southern Pacific, was wearing a violent
red scarf, a pork-pie hat and a heavy overcoat Sat
urday as he tramped the streetsy distributing a few
1955 calendars.
Now it's been years and
seen Santa Claus one we could believe in, anyway
but we have a hunch that if we ever run into the old
gentleman again, he'll remind us of Bob. " ; -
IT WAS cold Saturday, and we made some comment
to that effect.
"Yes it is," he answered, "and isn't it wonderful?
Makes you feel good. People always are cheerful and
friendly at this time of year. I like it, I like it." . -.
So do all of us, of course, despite the semi-serious
complaints about how awful Christmas shopping is,
how nasty the weather is, how the cold weather sets

THIS week? is the first in which we've actually felt
Christmas really is coming, and this despite the
decorations which have been up for weeks and the
Christmas carols on the radio. But .the 'chill in the air,
the grins on the shoppers and the. mounting excite
ment of the small-fry are convincing.
Christmas IS a friendly time of year. E.A.
Matter of Fact
STEVENSON - AND '56
; Washington Adlai E. Stev
enson, according to .th.ose who
have seen him at close quarters
recently, is a
thoroughly re
1 a x e d politi
cian sur
prisingly relaxed, for a
man so given
t o agonizing
over difficult
decisions.
His friends
Joseph Alsop have a. simple
explanation for Stevenson's in
tense attitude. Stevenson, they
say, has concluded that the dif
ficult decision which faces him
whether to try again in 1958
is largely out of, his hand?.
Moreover, he quite genuinely
does not greatly care which
way the decision " goes. This
attitude springs, in, turn, from
Stevenson's analysis of the pol
itical situation.
In the first place, the Demo
cratic leader has told friends
that he is assuming that Presi
dent Eisenhower will run again.
Some of those around him think
perhaps wishfully - that Eis
enhower will bow out. They
point to'the bad trouble which
Eisenhower will surely have in
the next two years, and to the
evidence .. that both the Presi
dent and -especially Mrs. Eisen
hower want a few years of un
troubled rest.
But it is obvious that the pres
sure on Eisenhower to run will
be extraordinarly heavy in 1956,
if ony because the Republican
party looks more and more as
though it would come apart at
the seams if he withdrew. Stev
enson accepts the majority view
that this pressure will be so
heavy that - Eisenhower cannot
possibly resist it.
In the second place, unlike
some wishful Democrats, Stev
enson acknowledges that Eisen
hower is still remarkably popu
lar. He has told friends that Eis
enhower could beat any Demo
cratic candidate as of today .

years since we've actually
By Stewart Alsop
and he . made no exceptions.
Moreover, bar a depression, ter
rible trouble abroad, ' or the to
tal, visible disintegration of the
Republican party, Eisenhower is
likely to remain a most formi
dable candidate two years from
now perhaps still an unbeat
able candidate.
TN THIS situation or so his
friends purport to believe
Stevenson would not be unhap
py to sit this one out. He has
not said so in so many , words.
But his attitude suggests that
he will not object strongly if
some one else takes on the job
of being Eisenhower's sacrific
ial lamb. Stevenson is only 54,
his friends point put, aid he
might do far better to wait until
1960.
This, it should be said, is the
relaxed Stevenson attitude to
ward 1956 as interpreted by his
friends. Those who are not his
friends notably some of those
close to former President Tru
man say in effect that this
apparent, indifference to 1956 is
all a cleverly contrived front.
They point to the election of
Paul Butter of Indiana as Na
tional Democratic . ' chairman
This, they claim, was a brilliant
ly executed coup by Stevenson.
The election of Butler was sup
posedly managed by former
chairman Stephen , Mitchell.
Truman openly opposed Butler,
while Stevenson remained osten
sibly above the battle. But, ac
cording to some Trumanites
who are in a less forgiving
mood than the former Presi
dent himself - Stevenson ac
tually master-minded the whole
operation, including the deal to
get southern support for Butler
by dropping the loyalty oath.
At any rate, Butler's election
showed who is really boss in the
Democratic party and gave Stev
enson a big leg-up for 1956. This
was accomplished without di
rectly committing Stevenson and
without a break with Truman.
As one member of the anti-Stevenson
. underground remarked,
"you've got to hand it to the
guy."

Motive of Chinese
In Jailing Airmen
May Soon Be Lea rued
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
One of the big mysteries of
the cold war may be cleared up
soon in Peip
ing. '
The mystery
is the motive
of the Chinese
C o m m u nists
in sending 11
u niformed
United States
Air Force men
to prison as
spies.
The charges
Charles McCann Clte.l Dy xne
Chinese Reds, and enlarged upon
by Soviet Russia Delegate Jacob
A. Malik in the United Nations,
were so flimsy that they amazed
the delegates who heard them.
It is simply incredible that the
Communists really believed the
fliers in uniform, wearing Air
Force insigna, flying in a four
motored plane could have been
spies, .v '
Hence the question arises '
why, at this particular time, the
Peiping regime deliberately
made .the airmen its victims.
Reds Pressuring U.S.
It seems highly probably that
the Chinese Communists want
something and are putting pres
sure on the United States to get
it. That means they are using
the airmen as pawns.
The question is what the Peip
ing regime wants. Everything in
the situation is naturally specu
lative. But two chief possibil
ities have been suggested:
1. The Peiping government
wants to force the United States,
in- negotiating for the release of
the airmen and for the freeing
of the many other U.N. military
personnel still held 'captive to
give it some kind of diplomatic
Is That So?
Go to grass! is an expression
which was handed down to us
from an English play, written
almost 400 years ago. But did
you know that . .
AH the world's great food
grains wheat, rice and corn,
the principal ones, together with
barley, rye, oats and millet are
grasses? Bamboo, too.
Besides the kernel of the
grain, the stem and leaf too are
basic t6 human life: animals,
upon which man depends, for a
large part of his daily food,-feed
on these plants. ;.
Man's cultivated plants are
much more dependent upon man
really than are his domestic ani
mals. By cross-breeding the.
plants so they would - become
larger and not shed their seeds
prematurely before the harvest,
man has changed their wild na
ture so profoundly that with his
demise, his cultivated plants
would disappear with him.
The most concentrated form
in which nature supplies food
is in seeds.
The cradle of mam's civiliza
tion, was in three' great 'river
deltas Nile, Euphrates, and
Indus. Here," grains then, about
10,000 years ago, were the found
ation stones of man's civiliza
tion. From these three early
cultures, our EuropeanAmeri
can civilization stemmed, includ
ing the "glory, that was Greece.",
Judging from i early art, the
ting versions of Stevenson's
widely advertised withdrawal
from political activity are being
put forward. The anti-Stevenson-ites
say it is simply smart pol
itics, since it will make front
runner Stevenson less vulner
able. Friends of Stevenson have
another explanation that he
badly needs the money his law
practice will bring him. .
IT HAS been costing Stevenson
upwards of $25,000 a year
all outgo and no income to
maintain his Chicago office. In
the next 12 months, in partner
ship with the brilliant younger
lawyer, William Wirtz, Steven
son hopes to recoup this loss. He
already has several lucrative
clients notably the giant (and
political controversial) Radio
Corporation of America.
Thus two pictures emerge
of Stevenson scheming for the
nomination, and of Stevenson
the private citizen intent on re
couping his personal ..fortunes,
and indifferent to politics. Cur
iously enough, both pictures are
probably fairly accurate.-'
In short, Stevenson really
does have strong doubts about
the wisdom of taking on Eisen
hower a second time. As of to
day, he really would! "riot 'be
heartbroken ' if the nomination
went to ahother.; But he wants
to be in the best possible situa
tion to get the nomination if
he decides he wants it. And he
knows he cannot nossiblv duck
the nomination if the party
wants mm. This rather commex
interpretation of Stevenson's mo
tives and intentions , seems - in
character, for the Democratic
leader is not a simple man.

recognition.
2. Peiping wants to get the
United States and other Western
Allies into a big diplomatic con
ference on the status of the Chi
nese Nationalist government,
American aid to Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek, Korea and East
Asia in general.
If these possibilities worked
out, the Peiping government
might believe they would lead
eventually to its admission to
the U.N.. .
Angry Over Formosa
The Chinese v Reds certainly
are angry over the situation in
Formosa, and they may be some
what worried.
" They talk of "liberating" For
mosa, the stronghold of Chiang's
Nationalist government" But
they know that if they attack
it, they will have to fight the
United States. t
It has been suggested that the
Peiping government might be
willing to see Formosa put un
der a sort of international status,
which would keep Chiang from
attacking the mainland.
May Want Students Back,
: It has been suggested also that
one motive of the Reds in im?
prisoning the 11 airmen was to
force the United States to re
turn the Chinese students now
held in this country. Some of
these students ' specialized - in
atomic energy.. The ..United
States doesn't want them to take
home to Peiping and Moscow
the secrets they learned. Most
of the students do not want to
go home anyway. V..
Right now, it. is up .to U.N,
Secretary General Dag Ham-
marskjold to find out Peiping s
price for freeing of the airmen
and of other Allied prisoners
The answer should not be long
in coming. ,

Egyptians quite likely invented
the manually-drawn plow; the
Babylonians "went a step further
and 'made it into a seeding ma
chine by using- a funnel-like ob
ject to drop the seeds benind
the plow point. The Spaniards
introduced this primitive plow
to Mexico about 1550, and thence
'it spread to the Indians who were
merely, using a pointed stick.
The modern mould-board plow
was invented about 1800 by the
man who wrote the American
constitution. and became its third
president Thomas Jefferson.
Cattle First Used With Plow
- Cattle', - rather "than horses,
were first used to draw the plow.
The oldest draft animal, aside
from the ox and man, was the

1?000 years later and-was more

by some farmers r "a calf was
kept m front of the cow. .
: The use of yeast to make
bread "light" was perhaps first
discovered m Egypt. The mix
ing of yeast dough (sour dough)
with fresh wheat flour starts a
ferment which makes gas bub
bles and causes the dough to
rise and become porous. - When
baked, the heat kills the yeast
and so stops fermentation, pro;
aucing what each cook fondly
hopes is a light,-. soft, - spongy
bread. (On - One timber cruise;
our camp, cook "kept his rising
bread dough in the bottom of
his sleeping1 bag to keep it warm
and active.. Some prankster
added an overdose of yeast, with
disastrous results). - -Proper
Amount of Gluten .
Wheat flour contains the pror
er amount of gluten to hold the

Cincinnati (U.R) College en

The major change in the com

President Raymond Walters of
the University1 of Cincinnati re

annual survey of college and uni
versity enrollment showed an in
crease of 6.8 in the number of
full time students. He said there
was a 9.7 per cent increase in
part time students, making a 7.6
per cent gain in the college en

O Who Is Donald W. Ruble?
He owns the Malco Hearing Service, one of Portland's most mod
ern and best equipped hearing aid offices located at 415 S.W. Broad
way (next door to the Liberty theatre.) He has been fitting and
servicing the hard of hearing with Maico instruments exclusively
for the past nine years.
0 Can He Fit Hearing Aids Properly?
Ruble is a factory trained Maico technician, having passed the
examination required by the Medical Accoustic Instrument Comp
any on hearing and hearing problems in order to successfully un
derstand and fit Maico Hearing Aids. The other members of his
staff also are Maico trained technidaas, successfully completing.
. a refresher, course every year to keep up with the new develop-.
" ments and 'advancements made in the hearing aid field. At pres-
1 ent these technicians include Mr. J. R. Culver, Ellworth. Breen and .
Helen Cabe. - . '
O What Hearing Aids Does Ruble Dispense? -:
Maico, the most trusted and respected name in the hearing aid
field. Over 90 per cent of all hearing tests made in the world are
made on Maico built instruments, including every ear specialist
,jn Oregon and Southern Washington, public schools and schools
for special education in teaching the deaf, the University of Ore
gon Medical School and many others. HUNDREDS of hard of hear
" ing persons in this area wear Maico bearing aids. : . -. -.
O Do Maico Hearing Aids Require Batteries? , :
' No. Maico hearing aids are transistor instruments, using tiny energy
cells the size of a dime and operate for less than a cent a day or
about $3.00 per year. Maico aids are the world's smallest, weighing
. only -an ounce, and are worn in a lady's hair, with no cord on
the neck and positively no clothing noise, or as a man's tie clasp.
O Are Maico Hearing Aids Sold On Terms?
Yes. Your old hearing aid will serve as a down payment, or an'"'
extremely small down payment will suffice. Monthly payments
run about the cost of batteries in a vacuum tube aid. Low bank .
rates are available.
I O Can Ruble Make Everybody Hear?
No.' Many hard of hearing people can't be benefitted by hearing
