He said there is a rash about the use of narcotics by Medford school students. Some of these tall tales are detailed and specific, telling how some Medford youngsters had to leave school, or get treatment at description of sufficient authority to the story. THE PROBLEM is this: proven to be true. All of them which the police hear about are carefully checked. . And such rumors, floating around town in in discriminate fashion, can They discredit the school ment and some perfectly fHAMPLIN points out w checks EVERY such them. In . any case where there is the slightest suspicion that there is a foundation of truth, the matter is reported to federal narcotic agents for further checking. But in the vast majority of cases the rumors are not true. He doesn't know where they start. A ND HE asks Medford citizens to help, this way: "If 'anyone hears such a rumor, don't repeat it as a choice bit of gossipy scandal, but report it im mediately to the Medford police department. It will be checked and double checked. If it's false, the rumor will be stopped. If there's any truth in it, the police can get an early start in correcting the situation. Other cities in Oregon have had similiar problems with narcotics rumors, and Champlin is not the first police chief to appeal for public cooperation in re porting them. CHARLIE points out: "We've been lucky so far. There is absolutely no evidence of any narcotics peddling or use in Medford at the present time. We want to keep it that way. "But if it ever does start, we want to be in a posi tion to stamp it out, quick. And to do this we'll need the help of Medford residents." This is the type of rumor that can do real harm. Don't repeat it. Tell it to the police. E.A. Too Few Workers A noted American economist named Peter F. Drucker says in an article in the current Harper's magazine that the most significant economic fact of 1954 was too-little noticed. It Was, he said, that 2,060,000 babies were born during the year the largest number in any one year in this country and that this record baby crop was born to parents of low-birth-rate depression years. , THE SIGNIFICANCE of this, Drucker continues, is that the "economic population" that is, those who contribute to the economy for the next 20 years need not be guessed; it is already known. Also, he says, "The total population- of the United States, now at 162,000,000, can be expected to top 190,000,000 by 1965 and 220,000,000 by 1975. These are conservative assumptions-. . ." But as the total population grows this rapidly, the working population will grow slowly, if at all. "With total population increasing by 30,000,000, the number between 20 and 65 years of age (the bulk of our working population) will go up at the most by 7,000,000. In the group from 25 to 35 . . . there will actually be a shrinkage of 2,000,000. On the other hand, there will be 6,000,000 more people over 65, and at least 16,000,000 more under 20, than there are today." THE conclusion he draws (only one of several in his article) is that there is no chance of any major unemployment in the foreseeable future. To the con tary, he said, despite the development of "automa tion," the big problem is going to be finding enough people to do the work. . It's a forecast different than some we've" seen lately. E.A. As We Live Widower Warns Against Ill-Advised Remarriage ' There are exceptions to every fX?l rule, but one rule that has few exceptions is that a man is better off if he marries a woman near his age than if he tries to believe he is loved by one Dr. Huxlock young enough to be his daughter. (Q) "Fvr years ago, when I was 60, my wife died. My children were married, and that left me all alone. I was lonely and thought I was in love with a woman just a few years older than my oldest child. My children kept telling me she just wanted a meal ticket and a roof over her head for herself and her two chil dren. She had been divorced and had to work to support them. "Well, like most old fools. I thought my children were just jealous and that I was so attractive to this woman that , Monday.

To make a long story short, we were married three years ago, and these have been the hard est three years of my life. Now my eyes are open, and I know my children were right when they advised me to marry a woman nearer my own age. I was' interested in the advice you gave a man of 62 not to marry a young wom an. I agree with everything you said. I hope he reads this letter and doesn't make the mistake I made." (A) First-hand experience, as related in this letter, should make a man who is considering marriage to a younger woman to stop, look and listen. Of course, he may prove to be the exception to the rule, but the cards are heavily stacked against him. Common-sense should tell any man in his sixties that a woman in her thirties or forties could not be expected to have the love for him that she could have for a man nearer her own age. She Might respect and admire him, but that is not enough for true happiness. ' Then, if she is a widow or di- Matter of Fact THE MATUSOW MESS Washington The hearings in the matter of Harvey Matu sow, the self-confessed liar and former professional government witness, have turned into a tedious farce. This is sad, since the hear ings could have served a most useful purpose. But no doubt it was inevitable, in view of the nassinnnte 1-ii- Stewart Alsop partisan desire in the Congressional Committees concerned and in the Justice De partment to conceal their own disgraceful role in the matter. The Senators who have been grilling Matusow have been working hard to establish two propositions: (A) That Matusow is a liar, a fraud, and not to be trusted, and (B) that Matusow has come under Communist in fluence and sponsorship. No Congressional Committee has ever set itself an easier task. On Point (A) Matusow him self is an eager and effective witness. As for Point (B), it is now quite clear that Matusow fell to the Communists by de fault. He tried to peddle his story all over Washington and New York. But he was so ob viously a slippery faker that no reputable publisher, newspaper, or reporter would touch him with a barge pole. In this vacuum, the pro-Communist pub lishers, Cameron and Kahn.with the backing of a left-wing union, placed a bet on Matusow in the form of a small advance. The bet paid off lavishly with a de tailed confession, which of course, the Communists have been using to a fare thee well. But if Matusow was so obvious a fraud, how did it happen that three Congressional committees and the Justice Department as well used him repeatedly as an "expert witness" And if the Com munists are now using him, whose fault is that, if not the fault of the Senators and Repre sentatives and Justice Depart ment officials who built him up in the first place In all the barrage of questions in the current hearings, these indelicate queries are never asked. Yet they ought to be asked, and they ought to be an swered. FOR it is bad enough that Con f?rP.QS a nrl " t ho AVonnfiirA Act- C ww v wuvbMlil V V partment should accept the word of a man like Matusow. without making the slightest attempt to examine his credibility. What is really disgraceful is that from the very beginning there has been ample and solid evidence tnat Matusow was a liar, evi dence wholly available to the Congressional Committees and to the Justice Department. lake two examples.

Arnold A. Wilken, Veterans Administration, loan guarantee officer for the Los Angeles Re gional Office, told the appraisers from California, Nevada, Ari zona, Utah and Hawaii that home construction on the West Coast was being stimulated by the de cision of World War II and Ko rean veterans to get their homes before their GI loan privileges expire. vorced, with children to support, common-sense again should tell him that she sees a good meal ticket every time she looks at him.

By Stewart Alsop 1952, at the very beginning of his career as an informer, Matu sow testified under oath before the Senate Internal Security Sub committee that he "knew by sight probably 10,000 Communist party members in New York . . ." This was inherently and obvious ly a lie. Yet Matusow was an anti-- Communist witness, a "friendly" witness. So no ques tions were asked. Or again, in the autumn of 1952, speaking in Montana as an "expert on communism,!' Matusow said on the record that "the Sunday section of the New York Times alone has 126 dues paying Communists." This par ticular lie was spotted by these reporters, who pointed out that the entire staff of the Times Sun day section numbered 87, includ ing two part-time copy boys. These are only examples of the kind of obvious untruths that should instantly have alerted the Justice Department and the Con gressional Committees. The F.B.I., to its credit, apparently dropped Matusow early, for just such Treasons. But right through 1953, as long as Matusow said what was expected of him, the Justice Department went right on hiring him and putting him on the stand as an "expert wit ness." In this same period, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy was hailing Matusow as a'great American." This might be expected of Mc Carthy, as long as Matusow played the game the McCarthy way. But many other Senators, including those who have been falling all over each other to show how much they dislike and dis approve of Matusow, heard him respectfully when he testified as an "expert witness," and asked no inconvenient questions. Fonce seemed at least con ceivable that good might come out of this smelly mess. There is a crying need for an honest and straight-forward inquiry, by both the Congress and the Jus tice Department, into the kind of practices which are sure to lead to more smelly messes much to the delight of the Communists if they are not corrected. For example, a serious inquiry would determine why neither the Com mittee staffs nor the Justice De partment investigators apparent ly make any effective attempt to establish the credibility of such "expert" witnesses as Matusow. A serious inquiry would also ex amine most seriously the flatly contradictory and demonstrably untrue testimony of other pro fessional witnesses. ' But it was no doubt naive to expect any sober examination of the problem posed by Matu sow and his kind. For then the Justice Department and the com mittees concerned would have to consider their own past prac tices, perhaps even to admit mis takes and that of course would never do.

Each year after the party, the reporter drives home, shucks 6fi his tux and hangs it in the foyer so that he won't forget to fetch it to the cleaners first thing on Monday, for a brushing off of the lint and a thorough clean ing. He wants to be ready for the next formal. When 'it comes back, he leaves it in the bag and hangs it in the back of the clothes closet. A couple of days before the banquet, Mac gets his fish and soup out and tries it on for size, in case he has put on a couple of pounds in the last 12 months. He's a little guy, 5 feet 6Vt inches and is only 28 inches around the middle. Well, the other night was time for the trying on. First Mac put on the jacket and stood before .the mirror. A perfect fit. Wow! the Pants And then he tried - on the pants, They were there all right, but they were a size 42, and the pant legs were so ' long they could have stretched from here to the Statler, where the party was held. He put on his work suit, and if you don't think that cleaner didn't get a going over? The cleaner said he sure was sorry, sir, and would Mac like to look over his collection of left-over tux pants? Mac, his dander way up, would, and he did. He tried on 20 pairs of the britches with the silk stripes down the legs. Not a one came anywhere near fitting. There were big pants and medium-size pants, but no little ones. And time was wasting. Mac happens to live in the neighborhood of nearby Fort Meyer. And if there is any consola tion in loose thoughts he worked up a fine mental picture of what may have happened to the char acter who unwittingly willed him the balloon pants, with sev eral acres to spare in the rear. . He could see some fat old island hopping colonel ' getting prettied up for a formal hoe down in some place like, say Tokyo, and finding himself 'try ing to squeeze into a set of knee length formal britches. In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS In Washington, the senate banking committee is making what the committee's chairman, Senator Fulbright of Arkansas, calls a "friendly study of the New York stock market." Before the opening, he issued an advance statement in which he said that the purpose of the inquiry is "education not ac cusation." What the committee wants to find out, he added, is whether changing government and business policies have in fluenced the present behavior of the stock market "for good or ill.'l T HAVE the feeling that Sen ator Fulbright is a good man for 'such a task. I think he is more interested in FACTS than in the manufacture of .political ammunition. He has an interesting back ground. He comes of a well-to-do but not rich 'Arkansas family. He is a Rhodes scholar, with de grees from Oxford University. He has a law degree from George Washington University, where he was a law instructor after his graduation. He has served as an attorney for vari ous government departments. He is a former president of the University of Arkansas. He served in the house of represen tatives before being elected to the senate. He has a certain amo'j t of business background. His family interests include lumbering, newspaper publishing and farm ownership, and he has partici pated successfully in the man agement of these enterprises. He has been a small investor in stock market securities, and ad mits that he has made a modest profit out of these investments. Instead cf being ashamed of it, he is a little proud of his profit record. CENATOR FuUbright is the type of Democrat I'm person ally inclined to trust as readily as I'd trust ANY Republican and a lot MORE readily than I'd trust a LOT of Republicans in our congress. GETTING back to the an nounced purposes of the in vestigation headed by Senator Fulbright, this is a good time to remember that the primary function of our great security exchanges is to find the capital with which to finance the ex pansion of our great industrial enterprises. They accomplish this purpose by selling (in open bid-and-take markets) SHARES OF OWNERSHIP in these enter prises to those who have money to invest. Some element of speculation enters necessarily into this func tion. People with money to in vest buy shares in the owner ship - of our corporations be cause 1. They believe these shares will be a good investment, re turning a fair rate of interest on the money invested. 2. They HOPE the shares they buy will INCREASE IN VALUE, thus yielding a CAPITAL profit on their investment. HHO THE extent that they serve this primary - purpose, our great stock exchanges are con structive and practically indis pensable components of our American system of free and dynamic capitalism. 5 But We mustn't permit the purely speculative, get-rick-quick phase of stock exchange transactions to OVERSHADOW their con structive, capitol - providing phases. When that happens, we get boom-and-bust, as m 19.29 Senator Fulbright, I think, feels that the kind of stock market investigation he plans to conduct wiU be a healthy and constructive influence upon our economy. I think most of us feel that way about it. ALONG that line, what hap pened in New York is inter esting. On the Big Board (the New York ' Stock Exchange) stocks moved higher at the open ing, and then eased off a bit. But at noon some of the favorites still held gains of $1 and more. Mayor of Los Angeles Under Police Guard Los Angeles U.R) Mayor Norris Poulson of Los Angeles is under police guard again fol lowing a new threat against his life. An anonymous telephone call er Friday night told the switch board oDerator of a local news paper that "Mayor Poulson will be killed tonight."

McCANN United Press Foreign Analyst The Communists in the Indian state of Andhra are asking them selves what happened. A couple of months ago there seemed to be a serious threat that they wo u 1 d win control of the little state on the Bay of Bengal in southern India.

A general legislative election was called. A Communist victory Was freely predicted.

Results now coming in show that the Communists-have suffered an amazing defeat; With returns for 149 out of 196 districts in, a coalition led. by Nehru's Congress Party already had won 117 seats, 18 more than an absolute majority of 99. The Socialists and Independents won 22 and the Communists 10. In the last Andhra Legislature, which totalled 140 seats, the Congress Party held 46 and the Communists held 45. Indian political experts are trying to figure out, so far with out' much success, what caused the big . overturn. : The Communists themselves make no attempt to minimize the extent of their defeat, and con fess they are unable to explain it. Ajoy K. Ghosh, the Commu nist Party general secretary, said candidly that the party would have to analyze and overcome its shortcomings and weaknesses. Kremlin Pulls Rug The fellow-traveling Indian weekly newspaper "Blitz" said that disagreement between Com munist leaders was partly re sponsible. Blitz, too, blamed Nehru for pursuing a Socialistic policy and thus stealing fire from the Communists. But the paper also complained that the Kremlin itself had pulled the rug out from under the Indian Communists. It said that while the Andhra election campaign was going on, Moscow not only endorsed Neh ru's foreign policy but praised his domestic policy as well. The Kremlin is "doing all it can to butter up Nehru, and is seeking close economic as well as political relations. Used Car Dealer Tests Sunday Law Portland (U.R) Joe Dob bins, a Portland used car dealer, was arrested Sunday for selling cars on the Sabbath in order to test the constitutionality of a city ordinance prohibiting such sales.. Released on nominal bail, Dobbins, said a committee of eight used car dealers had .ban ded together to fight the ordi nance. He said he felt the law was unconstitutional because it discriminated against a particu lar class of businessmen. The ordinance was passed during the administration of Mayor Dorothy McCullough Lee and it prohibits any licensed used car dealer from selling on Sunday. C : 1 1 1 (Mii '-Hilili'J Young Girl Died GEORGE N. TAYLOR Years ago, out in the hills be yond Portland, Ore., a young girl lay dying of T.B. She never had been in touch with church or Sunday School or in fact with Chris tian people but lomehow a n New Testa ment had come into her hands and this she read constant ly in her last days. Toward the end came great weak ness but she kept on with her Testament. Then came a moment when she raised up in bed and held out her hands with a cry- Jesus, I'm coming." At that sht fell back dead. So the girl with the T.B. laid hold on Christ and if you ever settle it that you are a sinner and lost, Christ's blood will wash away your sins also. For God so loved you that he gave Christ to die for your sins that if you believe on Him, as Lord and Saviour, you shall not perish but have eternal life..
