Measures in Oregon Legislature
Salem U.P.) A measure re
lating to establishment cf the
Oregon state correction institu
tion in Marion county and set
ting out the type of prisoners
who may be sentenced to the
new intermediate institution
wilJ be presented to the Legis
lature for consideration by the
State Board of Control.
The bill was presented to the
board by Assistant Attorney
General Wolf D. Von Otterstedt,
who drafted the bill along lines
suggested by the advisory com
mittee on the intermediate in
stitution appoints by the Board
of Conrol.
Rehabilitation of persons com
mitted to the new institution is
spelled out in the bill as its pri
mary purpose.
Judges in making determina
tion of sentences to the institu
tion must, under terms of the
bill, take into consideration age,
prior criminal record, reform
ability, education and family
background of the defendant.
Judges are given permissive au
thority to conduct presentence
investigations.
A correctional classification
board, to supervise and control
transfer of inmates between the
state penitentiary, MacLaren
school for boys and the new
institution is provided for in the
bill. It would be made up of the
chairman of the State Board of
Parole and Probation; the direc
tor of the Board of Parole and
Probation; the warden of the
slate penitentiary, the superin
tendent of the correctional in
stitution and the superintendent
of MacLaren school.
The bill provides an inmate of
the penitentiary may be trans
ferred to the correctional insti
tution or the MacLaren school
for boys and authorizes transfer
of an inmate of the correctional
institution to MacLaren.
Salem (U.R) A resolution in
troduced in the House by Rep.
G. D. Gleason (D- Portland)
would admonish the legislature
to adhere to the constitutional
restriction that no office created
by the legislative assembly shall
have a tenure longer than four
years.
Salem (U.R) Reps. C. Allen
Tom (R-Rufus) and Harvey De
Arnold (R-Bend) have intro
duced in the House a memorial
to Congress asking for 100 per
cent matching federal funds to
finance investigation of water
resources in the states.
Salem (U.R) A Senate joint
resolution introduced by Sen.
Gene Brown (R-Grants Pass)
calls for creation of a legislative
interim committee to study the
report of the legislative counsel
called "notes concerning ambi
guities and conflicts in the stat
utes" and draw up corrective
legislature.
That would be another stage
in perfecting the transfer of the ways been around newspaper
body of Oregon law Irom the J people. A lot of my closest
old code to the revised statutes. friends are New York columists.
Five members would be appoint- Douglas thinks "it's too soon
ed by the House speaker and
four by the Senate president.
Also serving would be the chair
man of the legislative counsel
committee. An appropriation of
55000 is called for in the resolution.
Salem (U.R) Airliners flying
through the Oregon airspace
would be able to serve alcoholic
beverages, under the terms of
a bill passed by the House and
sent to the governor for signa
ture. The House passed and sent to
the Senate a bill that would per
mit Greyhound races to be held
in the same racing plant as
horses in Multnomah county.
Rep. F. H. Dammasch (R-Port-land)
said the bill would permit
Multnomah Kennel Club to seek
new quarters for its annual race
meet and that the club would
probably move to Portland Mea
dows horse race track if legis
lation were passed permitting
the move.
Members also gave their ap
proval to a bill that would pro
hibit nurses from being ques
tioned in civil court actions
about information they hd ob
tained in caring for their pa
tients. The Senate passed two meas
ures to bring the state corpora
tion excise and personal income
tax laws in conformity with fed
eral legislation enacted two
years ago. The provisions are
designed to permit corporations
or individuals to report in the
year sold or spread out over
succeeding years such articles
as refrigerators or stoves sold
on the installment plan.

Though in hot water over a
newspaper m
terview, he
didn't try to
back out of it
or claim he
never saw the
reporter.
Douglas sat
down to
bravely face a
scribe for the
Aline Mosby first time
since his legendary remarks in
a Greensboro, N. C, newspaper
tnat the South is a land of "sow
belly and segregation."
His touring play, "The Caine
Mutiny Court Martial," was can
celled by Producer Paul Gre
gory on grounds the South was
upset. Last week the spirited
pctor retaliated with a $1,000,

charge of "defaming" his repu

Today -Douglas fearlessly
underwent another questioning
at the Brown Derby between re
hearsals for his Lux Video
Theater program. Other lumi
naries may have claimed they
never were even in North Caro
line but Douglas honestly said,
"I don't deny I did the inter
view." "And, yes, we did talk gen
erally about the South," he went
cn. "But I thought it was off the
record. This guy was from my
town, Philadelphia, and we
were talking but I absolutely
claim I was misquoted on one
sentence, which," he shuddered,
"had better not be mentioned
again.
"And I'm not afraid of the
press now," he added. "Why

"And I've been back in Holly

doing one of the biggest pro
grams (the CBS-TV version of
'Casablanca' on Lux Video
Thursday night). I taped a Bob
Hope radio show and I'm doing
a Damon Runyon TV 'film for
screen gems."
Douglas paused to wave hello
to a dozen friendly tablehoppers.
"I'll tell you one thing,"
rasped the actor. "Sue some
body for a million dollars and
everybody says hello.Hell-o-o-o
with a lot of zeros after it."
He chewed furiously on his
lunch for a minute and added,
"except one young actor on the
Lux show. He said he felt sorry
for me because I was being sued.
I said, well, read the story again.
He said. Oh, oh, and hasn't
spoken to me since."
Douglas was gone from Holly
wood nearly eight months in
"the pretty exhausting but fab
ulous" Captain Queeg role.
"I'll tell you how long I've
been away from big cities," he
said. "I've never seen George
Gobel on television."
As we walked out of the res
taurant the intrepid actor
watched me put my notepad
away. He said, with a gentle
sigh, "Well, I hope I'll still be
speaking to you two days from
now."

Follows Spouse To Bar
To Insist He Come Homo
No man likes to be tied to his
wife's aprons string?. And no
man likes to be humilitated in
front of other people.
(Q) "My husband likes to
to go to taverns on Saturday
nights to drink with his
friends. Then he comes home
early on Sunday morning,
drunk and making so much
noise that he frightens our
children. He spends on drink
ing money we cannot afford.
I have begged him not to go.
"For the past three Satur
days I have cone to the tav
ern and insisted that he come
home; We usually have an
argument there, but I refuse
to leave until he comes home.
Last Saturday he was so
angry that he told me he
would leave me if I ever did
this again. I know he means
what he says, but how can I
make him see that it is not
fair to me or the children for
him to go on like this?"
(A) Your husband is not being
fair to you and your children.
Not onlv is he spending money
for drink that
should be
spent for his
family, but he
is setting a
bad example
for the chil
dren and is
embarras ing
you. .
However, I
Dr. Huzlock very much
douot tnax you will make any
headway in reforming him with
the tactics you have been using.
Naturally it humilitates him to
be followed and dragged home
like a naughty child.
By now you have doubtless
made him so antagnostic that he
would be unwililng to listen to
anything you said. In fact, he
may even go out next Saturday
night to prove to you, that he
will not be bossed.
Why not ask your minister to
talk to him? Or if he won't lis
ten to the minister, what about
a member of his family he is
especially fond of, or a good
friend? An outsider can usually
make more headway in such
cases than a wife.

UNUSUAL "DOUBLE DELTA" WING design features Soviet Russia's new interceptor which has

Dr. Bray Finds Lack
Of Enmity in Japan
Dr. Jouett P. Bray, Lozier
lane, a chiropractic physician, is
now in Japan visiting his son,
William, who is a missionary
there. In a letter to The Mail
Tribune this week he tells, of
some of his impressions of the
country.
His letter follows:
Having only been here a little
over three months it would be
unfair to the Japanese people
as a whole to say I know the
Japanese and their thinking, but
may I make a comparison - of
our Oregon people and these?
I find that the rank and file
of these people, some of the
"higher-ups" included,, feel very
kindly disposed to the Ameri
cans who visit here. They treat
you most courteously and will
put themselves to no small trou
ble to help you if they can. In
Kobe I've had them walk four
and five blocks out of their way
to take me to certain office buil
dings when I was confused. As
I've not learned the Japanese
language I only smile and say
"thank you" which they under
stand, and the look of pleasure
and smile they give in return is
heartwarming.
No Animosity
There is no animosity as far as
I can find, to the United States
and I have been a guest in some
of the wealthy homes, indust
rialists, professional : men and
educators. However, their court
esy seems to lessen to everyone
when one tries to board a train,
as the trains carry 85 per cent
of the transportation and ex
press trains and locals often
have to leave passengers at de
pots. How do our people feel about
the Japanese? How many men
in Medford would walk four or
five blocks to show a Japanese
a business house or the postof
fice? Our returned soldiers may
remember these people with bit
terness and it is partially under
standable for it was a matter of
life or death. But we forget that
the Japanese soldiers were
taught loyalty to their country
as our men had loyalty for our
flag.
Didn't Want War
These people did not want
war, but the war lords, by mur
der, intrigue and chicanery,
came into power and being vis
ionary of greater power, made
the sneak attack which ultimate
ly caused the devastation of 70
per cent or more of . Japan's
largest cities and industrial
areas. I have been in Hiroshima
several days and one look is
enough. These people have paid
our soldiers the greatest compli
ment possible, for they have in
their minds that only our forc
es could conquer them.
The feeling of these people to
ward General MacArthur is sim
ilar to the emperor; though Mac
Arthur was a severe disciplin
arian, he was humane and kind
in all his dealings.
Just before leaving Medford
I was with a group of the finest
people of our city. Some of the
group were teasing me about
bringing back a wealthy Japan
ese widow as a wife. One of the
group spoke up saying, "if you
do I'll never speak to you again."
Perhaps that one had lost a lov
ed one or two in the. war. I do
not know, don't even remember
who it was. I felt sympathy for
the party in the loss. But Christ
said "Love your enemies and
pray for them."
Shall we let a people who are

This is a most beautiful and pic

These people need our love,
sympathy and understanding. I

Tulelake Man Dies
In Bus-Auto Crash
Klamath Falls (U.R) A col
lision between a car and a Grey
hound bus 65 miles north of
here Monday night resulted
in death to a Tulelake, Calif.,
man and minor injuries to three
persons on the bus, state police
reported.
Officers said Roy Charles
Clark was killed when his north
bound auto struck the bus after
pulling around a snowplow to
pass. A dog, only other occupant
of Clark's vehicle, also was
killed.
. There were 25 passengers on
the bus, which was operated by

Machine Developed To Separate Blood
Cambridge, Mass. (U.R)
Human blood can be separated
end its components packaged in
separate containers by a ma
chine developed by Harvard
Medical School and a Cambridge
industrial research firm.
The "Fractionator," as the de
vice is called, is said to eliminate
the present hazard of contamina
tion from blood processing.
The "Fractionator" is the size
of a home washing machine.
Tubing and connections are of
plastic rather than glass and
rubber because the latter sub
stances cause blood to adhere.
The machine will permit more
research on blood's components
and is expected to lead to dis
covery of new materials to com
bat disease.

Hurricane-Tracer
Prepares for Annual
Battle With Storms
Chicago U.R) Gordon Dunn
is going out to do battle with
an old enemy, the Caribbean
hurricanes.
"Hurricanes are like women,"
he said. "Each has a personality
with caprices and whimsies all
its own. - "
"But no hurricane ever acts
like a lady. They're always vi
cious." Dunn, 49-year-old native of
Brownsville, Vt., is meteorolo-gist-in-charge
of the U.S. Weath
er Bureau office here.
Chief Forecaster
At the end of March he trans
fers to Miami to take over the
chief forecaster's post formerly
held there by the late Grady
Norton, famed weather expert
who contributed much to the
world's knowledge about trop
ical storms.
Dunn will begin . his duties
as the nations top hurricane
watcher by attending a meeting
scheduled the last week in
March, at Jacksonville, Fla.,
where the whole problem of
this type storm will be reviewed
by experts from the weather
bureau, Navy, and Air Force.
Hurricanes Are Old Hat
"We want to be able to say
exactly where a hurricane is,
where it's going, how fast, and
what the effects will be," he
said.
Hurricane-watching is noth
ing new to Dunn.
He helped Norton found the
first special hurricane forecast
ing unit which studied the prob
lem from 1935 to 1939 and re
sulted in the present system of
"hurricane-hunting" by airplane..
The roughest place to forecast
weather, he said, is in the upper
peninsula of Michigan and "the
BRUSHING UP
' Norwich, Conn. (U.R)
Garageman Ted Moore said he
studied Latin to learn how to
fix a motor. A customer brought
him an Italian motor bike and
a book of instructions in Ital
ian. Moore dug up a high school
Latin book and was able to fig
ure out enough of the instruction
book to get the bike running.
farther you go from there the
easier it gets.'
"Sometimes in the midwest
we have to forecast a storm that
hasn't even developed yet," he
said. "When you're dealing with
a hurricane, you at least know
you have an indemnifiable
storms."
More to Learn
Dunn has several specific
things he wants to learn about
hurricanes:
1. Why do they "wobble" back
and forth across the line of their
general direction and how can
you tell when they're going to
do it? If hurricane Carol, for
example, had hit the New Eng
land coast on its right hand wob
ble, 60 miles to the east, there
would have .been $100,000,000
less damage and Providence,
R.L, would have been spared
much of its less.
Dunn likes the present system
of giving each hurricane a wo
man's name, "helps keep them
straight in everybody's mind."
Politicians who object to it,
he said, should be informed that
it all began with an Australian
weather man.
"He named each storm after
a politician he didn't 1 i k e,"
Dunn said. "The biggest storms
were named for the politicians
he considered the biggest scoundrels."
The largest river system in
Australia is the Murray which
extends over a . 1,609-mile
course.
