Newspaper Page TextTWELVE MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wdntd7, March J, 1955 Bill To Prevent Girls' Names for Hurricanes Eyed Washington (U.R) Rep. T. James Tumulty (D-N.J.), said to day he intends to introduce leg islation calling on the weather bureau to abandon its practice of giving feminine names to hurri canes. He told a reporter that by fol lowing the practice, the weather bureau "tends to treat a serious matter friviously and may even add to the deaths, injuries and destruction" caused by hurri canes by unconsciously prompt ing the public to regard them frivolously, too. Would Consult Library Tumulty said his resolution would call the bureau to consult with the libarian of Congress in drawing up a set of names that would convey to the public the seriousness of hurricanes. He suggested, for example, that hurricanes could be called by some descriptive term, like 'Hurricane Awesome," "Hurri cane Blustery," Hurricane Cas ualty," "Hurricane Death," etc. The weather bureau recently announced that despite some protests, it would continue its practice of naming 1955 hurri canes for women, in alphabeti cal order. Not Funny to Victims "After years of dealing with disasters," Tumulty said, "the bureau may think they are fun ny. But they aren't funny to the people, who have to go through them. "If the bureau says . "Hurri cane Death" is coming up the coast, your first tendency is to take to the storm cellars," he said. "If it says 'Betty" is com ing up the coast, you might have the first impuse to stay around and see what she looks like." i. i .,. ji i i i, ,,, miM iiiii .j i) ji in ii I,, j i mi u,i .iii,iniijiji.i..il..,ii i. i wti.wwviiv. .m'''mmmmmmmmmmmmm . wiii.iii.

(International) $100,000 Needed To Open Timberline Portland (U.R) A "rock bottom investment" of $100,000 would be necessary to re-open Timberline Lodge, according to Lloyd Olson, superintendent of Mt. Hood National Forest. Olson spoke last night at a meeting sponsored by the Toast masters' Club here to probe the possibilities of re-opening the ski resort this season. The forest superintendent said the sum would be needed to pur chase food stocks, linen and dishes, repair the ski lift and meet operating expenses. Olson said the forest service hopes to find an operator willing to construct a chairlift below the lodge, and several ski tows. The forest service would counter, he said, with a 10-year operating contract with renewal options. The group formed a 25-man committee to investigate means of putting the lodge back into op eration as soon as possible. Foreign Trade Said War Antidoie Chicago (U.R) Increased foreign trade is the most effec tive antidote for war, Sen. Hom er E. Capehart, (R-Ind.), said last night. Capehart, chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking and currency in the last Con gress, said increased trade also has a good effect upon our own economy. He addressed the 18th annual Chicago World Trade Confer ence. If the United States loses the cold war, "it will be because we lost out on international trade," Capehart said. The U.S. must "recognize the absolute necessity for applying to our foreign trade the same principles of long-term install ment which has been the basis of our own domestic economy," he said. The Senator said "we must . . give our foreign nations long term credits on which they can produce and create jobs and trade." Fulbrighf Attacks Policy in Europe Chicago (U.R) Sen. Wil liam Fulbright said the worst failure of the Eisenhower admin istration's foreign policy is in Europe. He also accused the adminis tration in an . interview yester day of over-emphasizing the Chinese menace. Fulbright said United States foreign policy has failed to "bring about a closer unifica tion of Europe. Europe is still the power center between the United States and Russia." "Our attention has been pre occupied by China," the Arkan sas Democrat said. "It is an irri tating thing which makes our blood boil." The park system of Washing ton comprises almost of 750 un its in the District of Columbia and vicinity.

Dodele stood poker-faced as Judge Arlie G. .Walker pro nounced the sentence. He was convicted of manslaugher by a jury which unanimously asked the judge for leniency in the case. 'Charitable' Verdict Judge Walker, in refusing a plea from defense attorney Irvin Goodman that the youth be re manded to juvenile court, said that the boy had received a "charitable" verdict. He added that he was confident the boy would be segregated and fairly and humanely treated in prison. The judge admitted the task of sentencing a 17-year-old was "doubly difficult,", but said it must be done to serve notice on other minors that crime does not go unpunished. Dodele will be eligible to ask for parole after serving a third of the sentence. Dodele was convicted of shoot ing the elderly machinist with a .22 calibre rifle when the lat ter came home and surprised the youth in the act of going through his house.

Chi cage was second with 3.4 and Detroit third with 3.9. Portland Meadows May Get Dog Racing Portland (U.R) An invi tation to Murray Kemp, presi dent of the Multnomah Kennel club, to attend a Portland Turf club stockholders meeting next Monday has raised speculation that the horse group may make an offer to rent Portland Mea dows for dog races.
