(lnUrnaUonali New Superweapons Will Enable US To Carry Fight To Aggressor Heidelberg, Germany (U.R) New atomfc superweapons will gsnable theU.S. Army to "carry the fight to the Russian," and "make " any aggressor think twicebefore attacking," it Eur opean' commander in chief said today. t . ' , ', Gen. William M. Hoge, com mander i of 250,000 American troopsL guarding the Iron curtain frontier Un Europe, said the new 280-milflmeter "Atomic cannon," the, "Hopes. John" rocket and : other" Sunday punch weapons now ioLh'e hands of his forces .would vniake Europe defensible further eastwards than earlier thought possible. ' In anjexclusive United Press interview at U. S.. Army head quarters, for,, Europe, Hoge add ed that the addition of 12 West Germanrdivisions under the Par is arms 'treaties would put the free natidJhsTin a much better position to defend Europe east of the Rhine. , Soviets Have Men , Hoge 'warned, however, that the Soviet bloc with its esti mated 225 front line divisions still has the preponderance of force and the advantage of initiative.-, 'We'will never be the aggres sors," the -grey haired four star general said. "The enemy, there fore would always have the jump on us and we must assume he would make penetration at the I outset. But the possession of the weapons is a tremendous psycho logical boost. "For the first time now our people are taking a forward look instead of merely thinking in terms of withdrawal. We can carry the fight to the enemy and anyone contemplating ag gression would have to think Man Presents Free Movies for Children Canlon, O. ' U.R) Finley L. Dietz put on free outdoor mo vies here during the past sum mer for children. Dietz put a theater-size screen up oh the side of a garage at his construction company and rent ed films, from downtown distrib utors for $15 a night or $30 a week. He put up wooden benches and opened his yard to all the kids who wanted to come in. The contractor opened the sea son shortly after school let out, and neighbors helped put on a party for the 500 youngsters who came the first night. . "I think bringing movies to the children here helped to keep them off. the streets," Dietz .said. "Once or twice neighbors com plained about the noise to the police, but the police felt I am doing a community service and cooperatea wnn me twice before attacking. Hoge, a slow speaking native of Boonville, Mo., retires from the Army at the end . of the month. The general, now 61, will be succeeded by Lt. Gen. Anth ony C. McAuliff e, now 7th Army commander. Veteran Fighter He commanded assault engi neers who captured Omana beachhead in Normandy on June 6, 1944, and headed an armored combat team that seized intact the vital Remagen bridge over the Rhine river the following March. He also commanded the U.S. Ninth Corps in Korea. New "muscle" added to the six divisions under Hpge's com mand how include five'batallions of 280 millimeter cannon which can fire atomic , or ordinary shells a distance of 20 miles and the newly arrived "Honest John" freeght rocket. . Hoge said there was "every reason" Jo believe the Soviets also are experimenting along the same super-weapon lines as the United States. "We have every reason to be lieve they have such weapons and we have reports that they are developing them along the same lines," he said. Hoge would not go into detail on this or on any line east of the Rhine river which the West might now be in a position to defend. - In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Charlie Hamman, director of area research for Stanford Re-, search Institute, tells the ; Ore gon Guild of Building Craftsmen at a meeting in Portland that the Pacific Northwest is the land of the future. - Its population now, he said, is about 5,000,000. By 1975, it will be nearly 8, 000,000. . : HE TOLD his hearers that un developed resources make it inevitable that the Pacific Northwest area will increase in population. . -' He added: "This trend will be stepped up by the gradually warming cli mate in the Northwest. This land up here will be the land of the future AS TEMPERA TURES GET HIGHER AND THE RAINFALL DECREASES." THAT brings up an interesting, theory that is coming to be accepted by weather scientists. The theory is that the tropics are moving slowly northward. . It is supported by evidence that the seas are rising as the polar ice cap melts, that birds and animals hitherto confined to the more southerly latitudes are moving northward. Oppos sums, for example, are being encountered as far north as up per Michigan. . This change has been going on GRADUALLY for a couple of centuries or more, but is now progressing at an ACCELERAT ED pace. Each year, according to the now widely held theory, this' northward movement of warmer and drier weather pro ceeds farther than it formerly proceeded in a couple of decades. HERE is a MOST interesting facet of the theory: As the warmer - and drier weather moves northward, the dry belt to the south of us will GET DRIER STILL. People will follow the water northward. . People MUST HAVE WATER. watershed of the Columbia river. That may not be a pre cise geographical fact, but it is an economic fact. - - . ; That brings into the picture our own mythical State of Jef ferson. This mythical State of Jefferson includes the water sheds of the Umpqua, the Rogue and the Klamath rivers. These watersheds constitute an economic unit. v . Tuesday, January II,. 1955, MEDFORD.

' HHHIS thought in conclusion:" A: We of the mythical State of Jefferson, . which includes the watersheds of the Umpqua,, the Rogue and the Klamath, better begin NOW to put our water to COMPLETE use. Complete use of water includes agriculture (irrigation), industry, power and recreation. : ' . We have great resources' land, water, mineral, : FD3ER, unsurpassed recreational areas. Water will be needed for the development of ALL . of them. Without water, our , other re sources will be valueless. TT'S HIGH time NOW to be- gin to protect our water.' -" The way to protect our water is to put it to COMPLETE use. X QUESTION is in order here. Just what is the Pacific Northwest? PRACTICALLY speaking, the A Pacific Northwest is the TICKET SEEKERS St Louis (U.R) Police in suburban Kirkwood were dumb founded when three persons within 10 minutes reported their own cars parked in nonpar king zones and asked for traffic tick ets. Later, officers learned , a scavengerhunt was in progress. One of the required items was a parking ticket. Dead line for Sunday Classified Is bi noon Saturday United Press White House Writer Washington U.R) Back stair at the White House: - - It was bound to happen sooner or later. A woman and her small son were motoring through Gettys burg the other , day and stopped at a roadside inn for lunch. It was a pleasant inn, with a broad picture window overlooking the famous battlefield and the roll ing Pennsylvania countryside. r The waitress took their order and the manager came to their table. . "Down there is the President's house," he said. "Take a look." Apparently, part of the estab lishment's regular service. " This will be more of a prob lem when the Eisenhower "fam ily moves into their farmhouse this spring. Just imagine, trying to have a picnic in the backyard, know ing that out on the highway in a number of taverns contented tourists are following every hot dog through telescopes. The President probably will have to plant a new row of trees around his house, not as a wind break but as a tourist blind. Former President Truman once tried to have a family pic nic in the small backyard of his home at Independence, Mo. About the time Mrs. Truman was passing the potato salad, the Secret Service discovered a man in a tree across the street, watching intently through field glasses. The man "came down under the persuasion of the agents. " When Mr. Eisenhower deliver ed his State of the Union mes sage last Thursday before a joint session of Congress, his speak ing" lectern did not seem to be as high as usual. On television, he seemed to be looking down more than he normally does when reading a speech, and the angle gave his glasses an unusually thick look on TV screens. Robert Montgomery, the White House adviser on tele vision, usually elevates the read ing stand to a point where the President, when he is working be speaking more directly into the cameras than he ., was last week. Mr. Eisenhower took 57 min utes to deliver his message. The White House had established originally that it would run only 45 minutes. - ; The third man, and usually unidentified, in most White House swearing-in ceremonies is Frank Sanderson, the admin istrative officer of the White House whose duties include ad ministering oaths. V : r : .5 i Sanderson is tall, graying, and most dignified fellow. But he apparently knows an econ omy igovernrnent trend when he sees one. . : - The White House recently has been redecorating a big confer ence room, the former cabinet room. . Sanderson was observed the other day, down on his digni fied hands and knees, ripping out carpet tacks with a screw driver. HOME-MADE Wichita, Kan.
