FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, December 14, 1954 Shah of Iran Asks Attorney General Replies To Talk of Appointive Offices Salem (U.R) There was an answer today from the Oregon attorney general's office to talk that the state's top legal posts should be appointive rather than elective so that the attorney gen eral would be in political har mony, with the officials he counsels. Records in the office of At torney General Robert Y. Thorn ton's office showed that Demo crat Thornton has been consult ed for legal opinions by the Re publican board of control nearly as frequently as Thornton's pre decessor, Republican George Neuner. 34 Opinions Requested There was comment recently that the three Republican mem bers of the board of control were bypassing Thornton because of political differences. . Records in Thornton's office showed that the governor, secre tary of state and treasurer, as well as the board of control, re quested 34 opinions from Thorn ton over a period of less than two years. During a 2V2-year pe riod of Neuner's term of office, the Republican officials request ed 38 opinions. Reports of differences be tween Thornton and the board became current when Thorn ton refused to ; approve pay ment of expenses for investiga tion of officials of the state li quor control commission. Thorn ton said the investigation should properly have been handled by his office. Granting that there had been honest differences, Thornton said his opinions written for the board had been scrupulously based on statute, "for the simple reason I don't like to get revers ed in court." Hundreds Claimed Held by Chinese New York OJ.R) Gen. Mark W. Clark claims the Chinese Reds hold hundreds of Ameri can prisoners in addition to the 13 they have admitted sentencing to long prison terms. The former Far East supreme commander was quoted as say- ing the Americans are being held as hostages for use in bargaining with the West. Clark was quoted by commen tator Henry J. Taylor on a nation-wide -National Broadcasting Company program. Clark, according to Taylor, knows of 931 Americans held by the Red Chinese in addition to those U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold will seek to free in direct talks with Chinese leaders. SpOrf lXS OSOUtRALEY ' D 4W4 Sports Writer rarade AfiJi u"i,ed Pre" New York U.R) The possi bility of another gambling scan dal still worries the college bas ketball world today but appar ently the only concrete preven tive step being taken was by . Coach Joe Lapchick of the pro fessional New York Knicker bockers. The latest warning came from Nat Holman of CCNY, who charged that "there is just as much gambling in basketball as there ever was." Yet neither Hol man nor anyone else in the col lege, ranks has come up with a plan on how to combat possible 'fixes" effectively. Lapchick has and the col lege coaches could take a tip from him. The one-time star of the fam ed Celtics saved all of the news paper clippings and pictures of ine "iix" cases. These he had bound into a book, for which he wrote a warning foreward. Each season he makes every one of his players read the book and attest that they have done so. - "It hands you . a real jolt when you read it," Lapchick ex plained. "When my boys see those pictures of heart-broken parents sobbing in court and read of those blasted careers, well, I just know that they'd never take a chance like that." Exposes "Easy Money" Trap In his forward, Joe shows the futility of taking the "easy money. , "All those kids got out of it was a sports coat, a sports shirt and a pair of slacks," he warns. "Then they hid the rest of the money because they were afraid to spend it.". . Lapchick revealed his private system after telling Holman face to face at the weekly meeting of the New York Basketball Writ ers Association that simdv "making speeches' about the ENRICH HER FUTURE WITH MUSIC CONSOLE PIANO J Let your child delight in ; creating beauty for herself ? on a lovely Gulbransen Console. . Its brilliant tone, easy action I will encourage her music ; studies . . . will make her piano a cherished companion. j VALLEY ! MUSIC CO. : 523 Crater Lake Ph. 2-5325 fact - that gambling exists will not prevent future "fix" attempts. "Gambling will cause trouble again," Holman had asserted. "From intimate sources I have learned that there is a consider able amount of gambling, going on in basketball ... as much, as there ever was. We can't sit back as if all was okay but have to stay on our toes to protect the game." Holyman, however, did not come up with a protection plan. Several coaches inferred that the printing of point spreads on games was dangerous. In should be Dointed out in this connec tion, though, that big bettors get their point spreads from book makers not from news papers and that only the shady char acter making a large wager is the type who will try the "fix." "And you can't watch your boys 24 hours a day," Lapchick pointed out. "Nor should they have to be watched. If they fully appreciate the dangers involved, nobody will get to them." Which is where his dook comes in as required reading. And every college in the coun try should get a copy and use it as their book of the basketball months. , Sister Denies Mar to Marry Los Angeles U.R) The sister of American Negro track and field star Mai Whitfield em phatically denied today her bro- other intends to marry an attrac tive red haired Swedish girl. Whitfield's sister, Mrs. Betty Whitfield Clark, voiced the de nial after the Swedish girl, blue eyed Brigit Johansson, now a bookkeeper in a Los- Angeles bank, said she and Whitfield plan to marry. Miss Johansson said yesterday "we will be married" as soon as Whitfield returns from a United Nations .good will tour of the world in February. ' "Mai does not go with her and hasn't gone with her," Mrs. Clark said. "As a matter of fact, the girl is currently dating a boy who attends Compton col lege." Garcia Stops Smith in 6th New York (U.R) Feather weight contender Rudy Garcia, who developed the shoulders and biceps of a middleweight while delivering 100-pound blocks of ice as a boy, returned to his Los Angeles home today after giving Gene Smith the worst beating of his career. The powerful little California Mexican Monday night stopped Smith of Washington, D.C., at 11 seconds of the sixth round. Although Smith, 23, is rated one of the hardest hitters in the 126-pound class, he was made so helpless by Garcia's headlong hooking attack and brute force that not one of the three ring officials gave him a single round. CITADEL PICKS SAUER Charleston, N. C. U.R) John Sauer, assistant coach of the Los Angeles Rams, signed a five-year contract today to coaeti the Citadel Bulldogs. Citadel president, Gen. Mark Clark, an nounced. Clark said Sauer will assume the duties of athletic director and head coach Jan. 1. when the contract of the pres ent director and football coach, Johnny McMillan, expires.- : SLAIN Mrs. Milton Fuller, 20-year-old mother of two children, was killed in her sleep by a barefooted prowler while her husband, a promi nent automobile dealer in Brinkley, Ark., was dozing on a couch in the living room.

Western Nations To Lend 'He.D.na Hand' Washington U.R) The Shah or Iran called today on Western nations to lend "a helping hand" to assure political stability and economic recovery in his oil rich homeland. . , "Iran is of such importance to the general role of civilization and global strategy," he said, 't'hat her physical strength must not become flaccid for want of timely helo." Confers With Officials The Iranian monarch made the appeal in an address prepar ed for a lunch given my capital newsmen and photographers. Earlier in the day he visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and conferred with top Defense Department officials. The Shah arrived in Washing ton Monday for a threeday visit.

"The greatest contribution the west can make is perhaps . to understand sympathetically the difficulties and problems of Iran problems which are manifold, ancient and imperative," he said. Teen-Age Births Said Increasing Chicago 4U.R) A doctor said today that illegitimate births among teen-agers have doubled in the last 15 years in a wave of "sex hysteria." ! Dr. Goodrich C. Schauff ler, Portland, Ore.,' " blamed the trend partly on " "bosom con sciousness" instilled in youth by "Hollywood influences and the insane emphasis by modern ad vertising and the press of this semirespectable sex appendage." "The array of bosoms now available to the naked eye is simply appalling, and it has its results early and late," he told the sixth annual congress on ob stetrics and gynecology. Schauffler said the . increase in illegitimate births "is certan ly significant of the general trend in relation to prococioiis sex activity." - "It must be recognized as a background to the observation that there is a greatly increas ed awareness of , sex in the younger group,; stimulated and maintained by sex hysteria, which is a calculated instru ment of modern journalism and so-called entertainment trends," he said. 117 S.
