TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Sunday. March 13, 1S55
Oregon Representatives
Stronger Meson FDund Mlk
tudy
By WILLIAM WARREN
Salem CU.K A measure de
signed to strengthen regulations
concerning fluid milk sold in
bottles and cans is expected to
come to the floor of the House
tome time next week for the
second time.
It is back in the House Food
and Dairying Committee headed
by Rep. Leon S. Davis (R-Hills-boro)
for consideration of a mo
tion to continue the marketing
of grade B fluid milk. In its ori
ginal form. House Bill 124 would
have excluded all fluid milk for
retail sale except grade A milk.
An amendment now being stud
ied would repeal only the pro
vision permitting sale of grade
C milk.
Under the proposed amend
ment, both A and B grade milk
would be legal, but the same bac
terial standard would apply to
both grades; also, final delivery
containers for both grades of
milk would have to be automati
cally filled and mechanically
capped.
The grade A phase of this bill
is a request understood to origi
nate with the dairy industry;
other features of the bill are
largely corrective legislation
and are proposals of the State
Department of Agriculture which
administers the fluid milk act.
Here's what other sections of
the bill would do:
1. Give the department speci
fic authority to ask for an in
junction to restrain persons
from violating either the fluid
jmilk act or the dairy products
act. The dairy products plant
act deals with manufactured
dairy items. It would prohibit
persons from continuing to vio
late either act between the time
a complaint was signed and a
court decision handed down.
2. Three sections would give
the department authority to con
demn dairy equipment, including
producer-owned milk and cream
cans which are in bad repair
and unfit for use.
3. It would apply to fluid
milk the same requirements for
weighing, sampling and testing
to determine butterfat as now
apply to manufacturing milk. It
would also require fluid milk

To Chinese Port
plants to have a state-licensed
pasteurizer operator supervise
pasteurization operations. These
two matters simply pick up re
quirements inadvertently left
out of the fluid milk act when
th dairy products plant act was
amended in 1953.
4. Another section would
tighten up the law relating to
adulteration of milk by adding
water.
5. It would add to the fluid
milk act a definition for a non
processing distributor and bring
him under licensing provisions.
In other words, a license would
be required of a milk peddler,
or one who distributes under his
own label milk which he neither
produces nor processes.

Ships Must Give 24-Hour
Notice To Coast Guardsmen
Washington (U.P.) Beginning Saturday, all ships must give
24 hour advance notice before entering U.S. seaports, the Coast
Guard announced.
A Coast Guard spokesman said the new order, part of the port
security program, was not prompted by any emergency situation.
He said most ships already give the" 24 hour notice voluntarily
and that the new order is designed to improve the security pro
gram's operation.
Ships already must clear with the Coast Guard when enter
ing the United States under the 4 year old security program. The
advance notice, the spokesman said, will help avoid delay in
clearing ships when they appear at the harbor entrance.
Failure to give the notice may result in fines or imprisonment
for a ship's master or its agents, or could lead to seizure of the
ship.
The order does not apply to vessels operating in the Great
Lakes.
U.S. Molding Out on
DsDand Withdrawals'
Taipei (U.PJ Chinese -Nationalist
sources speculated Satur
day that Communist submarines
may attempt to escort a Finnish
tanker loaded with jet plane fuel,
through the Nationalist block
ade to a Red China port.
Authoritative Nationalist
sources said Friday that the Na
tionalist navy has been ordered
to make every possible effort to
Intercept the tanker "Aruba"
and prevent delivery of the jet
fuel.
American Air Force sources
said the tankers' 13,000 tons of
high grade kerosene are enough
to fuel Chinese Communist jets
for 5,000 missions against For
mosa. Belief that the Reds might at
tempt f to bring the tanker
through the Nationalist blockade
under submarine escort were
based on intelligence reports
that the Communist Chinese have
built a sizeable submarine base
at Hainan island in the Gulf of
Tonkin, off Indochina. National
ist sources claim that Russian as
well as Chinese Communist sub
marines are operating out of the
Hainan base.
Fake Fire Plug
Poses Puzzle for
New York Police
Nw York (U.P.) Police
pondered Saturday what char
ges, if any. they could file
against restaurant - owner Pat
rick Moriarty. the admitted cul
prit in the case of the vanish
ing fireplug.
Moriarty Friday admitted
that it was his portable fire
hydrant that almost made pa
trolman John Van Ooosteron
turn in his badge and seek a
bed in the nearest psychiatric
ward.
Moriarty said he got tired
of seeing automobiles parked
bumper to bumper in front of
his place at night, making it
difficult for his customers to
alight safely from taxicabs.
To remedy the situation, he
put a fake hydrant in front of
his restaurant every night to
keep cars from parking there.
The neat scheme exploded
when Van Oosteron spotted an
auto parked in front of the fire
plug Wednesday night. The
officer hung a ticket on the car
and left, sure he had done
his duty.
He did a fast double take
upon returning later to find
both auto and hydrant gone.
After considering both an
eye doctor and a long rest.
Can Oosteron decided to inves
tigate. He took the fake plug
te headquarters for investiga
tion. Shortly after that, Moriarty
confessed.

Mamie's Health Not
Issue, Butler Says
' Detroit U.P.) Democratic
National Chairman Paul M. But
ler said Saturday he never in
tended to make a national issue
of Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower's
health and that it "certainly"
will not be a campaign issue.
"This whole thing has just be
come a battle of words that is
much ado about nothing," But
ler said at a press conference.
"I never intended to make a
national issue of Mrs. Eisenhow
er's health," he said. "A few
days ago someone asked me the
perpetual question if I think
President Eisenhower will run
for a second term and I cited
the health of the President's
wife as one of the many reasons
why I think he will not."
The Democratic leader added
that "it was my own personal
belief that Mr. Eisenhower
would not seek a second term."
It is important for every
worker to be sure that his em
ployer reports his wages under
the correct name and social
security number.

Seattle 0J.P.) Robert D.
Murphy, deputy Undersecretary
of State, said Friday it was
"doubtful" Britain's suggestion
that Nationalist China abandon
its coastal islands would serve
the cause of peace.
The United States thus appear
ed to be holding out against any
plan to get Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-shek to pull his Nationalist
troops out of Quemoy, Matsu
and other islands just off the
China mainland.
Eden Backs Plan
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden called for such a
move Tuesday as a slei toward
settling the Formosa fighting.
Murphy said the United States
wants to obtain a cease-fire be
tween Nationalist and Red Chi
na as other nations do.
"But," he said, "it is doubtful
that the suggestion of Ihe sur
render to the Chinese Commu
nists of further coastal positions
would serve either the cause of
peace or the cause of freedom."
Murphy said in an address de
livered at the opening dinner of
the Washington State Interna
tional Trade Fair Friday night
that the Chinese Reds have been
"the initiators of violence in the
area."
He said the Communists have
boasted repeatedly that they in
tend to conquer Formosa and
that they consider the coastal is
lands as stepping stones to that
objective.
At an earlier press conference
Friday, Murphy said trade rela
tions between Russia and Red
China eventually could lead to a
break between the two powerful
Communist nations.
He said both the Russians and
Chinese are shrewd traders, par
ticularly the Chinese who "know
when they are being done in."
Murphy said Red China is not
receiving military aid from Rus
sia as a gift, and the Commu
nist Chinese were undoubtedly
paying for it in some form, prob
ably in raw materials.
Firemen's Ball Set
Ar Phoenix; History
Of Department Told
Pope Goes Through
Elaborate Ritual
Vatican City U.R) Pope
Pius XII went through the
elaborate ritual of a major Vati
can ceremony marking the 16th
anniversary of his coronation
Saturday without displaying
more than slight weariness.
Observers here considered the
79-year-old Pontiffs endurance
as evidence of his recovery from
a recent illness.

Phoenix The annual fire
men's ball sponsored by the
Phoenix Fire association will be
held in the Phoenix Community
hall the evening of Thursday,
March 17, according to mem
bers of the department.
Proceeds from the dance will
be. used for the purchase of
equipment for the department,
and improvement of the opera
tion. Bobby Champion and his
Melody Wranglers will furnish
the music. "
Dancing will start at 9 p.m.
C. L. Robbins, chief of the
department, outlined the long
history of the department in an
nouncing the dance.
First in 1911
The first piece of fire fight
ing equipment in Phoenix was
purchased and placed in use in
1911 or 44 years ago. Warren
King was named chief at that
time. On the first trial run of the
equipment-"-a hose cart most
of the members of the depart
ment lost interest in the prac
tice run due to the extreme dif
ficulty they experienced in ne
gotiating a five degree incline to
the scene of the fire, the chief
said.
Some of the members in those
days were R. S. (Bob) Furry,
Harry Reames, Robert Water
man and W. L. (Dave) Smith.
In 1927, a Chevrolet lVz
ton truck equipped with chemi
cal tanks was purchased. Among
the fire chiefs who served with
this equipment were Walter
(Jack) Allen, Harry Reames and
Fred Holcraft.
In 1944, a volunteer fire de
partment was organized on a
formal basis through the efforts
of F. L. Tripp and Floyd Bar
rett. Tripp was named fire chief,
and Bob Furry was assistant
chief. Members included Ralph
Roberts, Raymond Furry, Pres
Turpin, Earl Briscoe, H. Prince,
Eddie Caldwell, Warren Fitch
and Ernie Bolz.
A used pumper truck was pur
chased from the city of Medford
in 1947. It was equipped with a
500-gallon pump. John Gee was
fire chief at that time, and a
year later Glen Peterson suc
ceeded him.
i
The present Phoenix Fire as
sociation was formed in 1950.
with Frank Lovett as president
and Vincent Claflin secretary
and treasurer. Robbins was nam
ed chief at this time, and Edwin
Caldwell was made assistant
chief. Both still serve in these
capacities.
Class A Rating
In 1951 a new Ford-Hale 600-
gallon pumper was purchased.
It is also equipped with 500 gal
lon reservoir tanks. The depart
ment now has a Class A rating
with insurance underwriters, de
noting that the equipment is in
excellent condition.
Robbins said that it is through
the cooperation of "fire-minded"
Phoenix citizens that the depart
ment has been able to function
as efficiently as it has, with prop
er equipment to do the job.
The present strength of the
department is 15 men. They are
Robbins, chief; Caldwell, assist
ant chief; Lovett, captain; Leo
Bolke, lieutenant; and Leo
Furry, Russell Davis, Bob Ran
dies, Dell Hain, John Cook, John

1400 K.C. A M-
crown, Pope Pius led a proces
sion into the 15th century Sis
tine Chapel.
He stood and knelt alternate
ly all through a long high mass.
When the Pope appeared be
fore 5,000 pilgrims at his study
window high above St. Peters
Square after the ceremony he
appeared only slightly tired.
The one indication of the strain
of the 96-minute ceremony was
that he used his left hand to
bless the crowd and did not
speak the blessing.
