National Loop Umps Told To Be
Realistic About New Regulations
Tampa, Fla. (U.R) It's up to
the umpires now to determine
just how strictly baseball's two
new, hotly-disputed rules will
be observed in the National
League.
League President Warren C.
Gils, in a conference here
Wednesday, told his umpires not
to be "too strict" in the apply
ing of the new measures the
one calling for pitchers to throw
the ball within 20 seconds and
the" other making a catcher stay
In a small box until the ball is
thrown.
Just how strict is "too strict"
Giles didn't say, but he empha
sized that he wants the umpires
to be "realistic" about the rules.

Giles said it won't be neces
sary for the umpires to use a
stopwatch to time the 20 seconds
because "we timed lots of pitch
ers last season and found they
averaged 14 seconds in deliver
ing the ball."
"I also don't think we need
to be too strict about requiring
the catchers to keep their feet
within the new 43-inch box,
unless an umpire believes an at
tempt is being made to issue an
intentional base on balls," said
Giles.
Both pitchers and catchers
have been complaining about
the rule in spring training, say
ing that it will lead to many
wild pitches.

A Bostonian demands the
"brown-eyed honey blonde" be
removed from the top position
of our Horses & Women De
partment list of the 69 varieties
of blondes. He claims no woman
with brown eyes can be styled
a blonde. That it is "anthropolo
gically impossible." Brown eyes,
says he, make a woman a "Medi
terranean type." A "true blonde"
must be "a Nordic type." To be
classed as a "blonde," a woman
must have blue eyes, or blue
grey eyes, he says. I have in
structed our Horses & Women
experts to check thoroughly this
claim.

A 36-year-old Cambridge, O.,

This is said to be the United

Guess I have heard of many wom

seven such operations may be
the American record, it is far

believe, is 19 successful Caesar

By SID HOLLINGSWORTH
The reassurance given last
week by Sen. Richard L. Neu
berger that recommendations for
changes in the Veterans Admin
istration set up, contained in the
report of the Hoover commis
sion, would not affect the pres
ent policy at Camp White, fur
nishes occasion for a brief re
view of what has been accom
plished here in the past sii
years.
Developing a domiciliary sta
tion midway between the large
hospital centers of the Pacific
Coast was not an easy task. The
VA officials who came here in
the beginning, some of whom
are still on the job, found a de
serted Army hospital, unfurnish
ed and rank with weeds and
neglected.
The prospect was hardly en
couraging for adapting the place
for the comfort and care of 500
invalid and aging veterans. The
support of the citizens of South
ern Oregon was pledged. The
work of volunteers was integrat
ed in the task undertaken by
the engineering division, to ef
fect the necessary physical im
provements, and the corps of
recreation specialists, forming
the nucleus of special services.
The need for additional domi
ciliary accommodations in this
area became evident, so the au
thorized bed capacity was in
creased to 818, to relieve pri
marily the congestion at the Saw
telle home in Los Angeles.
Many questioned the prospect
of making an acceptable veter
ans home in this "neck of the
woods." it war regarded as too
far from town, and too remote
for medical attention available
in the cities. A competent staff,
it was believed, could not be per
suaded to live in such an "isolat
ed" part of. the world. Boredom
would drive away the personnel
as well as the veterans it was
intended to house, it was main
tained by those who held doubts
of feasibility of the project.
Today, a "family atmosphere'
pervades the little community.
A score or more children at
tend school at Eagle Point, two
miles distant. There are over 200
civil service employees and 100
members working at the station.
They show no signs of dissatis
faction with the environment,
which is known locally as the
"Agate desert."
Those among the home mem
bers who came to see, and re
mained to stay, have been im
pressed by the hospitality which

News and Notes
From Camp White
has been shown toward them by
the personnel.
Domiciliary Officer Ralph Ruf
fin, who reported here first in
March, 1949, is still here, and
knows as much as any man about
the trials and tribulations en
dured and experienced by the
membership. Whenever anyone
asks him what they are able
to do for the men at Camp White,
he points to the "garden spot"
cultivated by a badly disabled
veteran who could scarcely
move when he arrived. Satur
day, he was seen pushing a
wheelbarrow in the chill atmos
phere to a place where he could
pick up a little fertilizer for his
spring planting of flowers.
A zealous spirit soon permeat
ed the whole valley. Everyone,
including the volunteers and the
men who wanted to be active,
furnished an exhuberance in
promoting the interests, shows
and publicity that kept things
humming. "There is never a dull
moment at Camp White," came
to be a byword.
The report of this western
flavor in veterans homes went
up and down the coast and was
carried back to Washington,
where the importance of the sta
tion as a vital part of the system
was emphasized.
There is an atmosphere of calm
at Camp White now, which
seems to signify that a desirable
place for a home for veterans
has been established. Those Who
are here want it to continue to
develop along this line.
There is always a waiting list
to get into Camp White, and
those that leave soon want to
return.
New Truck-Tractor
Unit Being Developed
A new tractor unit, developed
for Pacific Intermountain Ex
press, has made trial runs in
the western states and Was re
cently through Medford, it was
reported today by company of
ficials. The unit has several depart
ures from conventional truck
tractor units, including two sets
of wheels on tandem axles, all
of which turn when the vehicle
goes around a corner, air sus
pension instead of steel springs,
a new flat type diesel engine, a
"wrap-around" windshield, and
other changes. ,
If proven succesessful in field
trials, the units will be ordered
for P-I-E runs west of Denver.'

Patterson Vetoes
School Measure
Salem flJ.P.) Gov. Paul L.
Patterson yesterday exercised
his veto power for this first time
this legislative session.
The governor returned to the
legislature without his signature
a bill revising procedure for
changing boundaries of Union
high school districts.
He said it seemed to him im
proper to "authorize the enlarge
ment or reduction of the boun
daries of such district without
the people affected having a
voice in the change of the boun
daries of the district that they
themselves have created." '
The governor also objected to
the method used by the legisla
ture in changing the law. He
pointed out that a present law
provides for changing bounda
ries of union high school dis
tricts and he added that any
change should be made either
by amendment of the .statute or
repeal so that the intent of the
legislature would be clear.
The governor signed 14 bills,
including one doing away with
permanent wildlife refuges; one
allowing the state board of high
er education to spend gift mon
eys without legislative appro
priation, and one authorizing
