TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. March 30, 1953 yesterday for the birth of her son, planned originally for Fri day. Is &ins ChurchiiD's Last Week as Premier? Efesignafiofi Procedure ToOd By GENE PATTERSON United Preu Correspondent London U.R) Is this Win ston Churchill's last week as Britain's prime minister? There are many here who be lieve it Is. He is 80 years old and the rumors of his impending retire ment from the top post have row reached such persistence as to be accepted widely. Some persons even have fixed a precise date April 5 but there is nothing official so far to support that. Sir Winston says only, with a grin, "The future is veiled in obscurity." May Resign Tuesday If he does resign next week, this is how it will happen: On Monday night Queen Eli zabeth II and Prince Philip will dine at No. 10 Downing Street. That is unusual in itself but it may also mark the last time Chuchill plays host at the nar row, brick house he himself has helped make so famous. The next day at 6:30 p.m. the old statesman will pay his regu lar weekly call at Buckingham Palace on the 28-year-old Queen. He served in the House of Com mons when her great-great-grandmother, Victoria, was on the throne. If resignation It is to be, that Is the occasion when Churchill will ask Elizabeth to accept it. She will. He will recommend that she ask Sir Anthony Eden to be the new prime minister. She will. Eden will accept. Not Complete Retirement Sir Winston might then choose to make a valedictory address to the world from his celebrated forum, the House of Commons, before it begins the Easter re cess next Thursday. Churchill Is off to Sicily then for several weeks in the sun. It is apparent that he does not intend to retire entirely from his beloved Commons. Ha has vold constituents in his district of Woodford that he intends to serve them still longer. So it may be that the familiar hunched figure and cherubic countenance will still be seen in the chember but not on the front bench constantly where, as prime minister, he was wont to turn off his hearing aid during Socialist speeches that h chose tot to hear. Number of Generals Subject of Criticism Washington U.R). The Sen ate Armed Services committee has taken the military services to task for increasing the num ber of generals and admirals while reducing enlisted strength. The committee Tuesday voted to imnosa a limitation on such officers until it can check fur ther into this "apparent imbal ance. A subcommittee report, ap proved by the full committee, disclosed that the services plan to increase the number of gen erals and admirals to 1287 in the coming fiscal year although man power strength will be cut to 2,860,000 men. The services presently have 1250 star-rank officers with an active duty stength of about 3,200,000 men. 4-H OuiTHevK Westsid Club Westside 4-H met at Westside school, Feb. 7.

The next meeting of the club will be April 4, at West side school at 7:30 p.m. Marie Swearingen Reporter Aging Statesman's Future Subject of Much Speculation Ike Politely Disagrees With Churchill's High-Level Plan Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower politely objected to day to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's suggestion that big power discussions begin with a conference of chiefs of state. Without referring to Chur chill by name, Mr. Eisenhower pointed out at his news confer ence that an eminent source had proposed a top - level meeting without an agenda. Mr. Eisenhower said there would be many dangers to such a meeting. He said it might look like a social gathering to many people in the world who would be expecting more from such talks than could be delivered. But Mr. Eisenhower said again that the United States would meet with other major powers on any basis so long as such a meeting would not raise any false hopes. Mr. Eisenhower thus main tained his basic position of a week ago, that it would be better to hold exploratory talks at a lower level, probably foreign ministers, and then see whether a chiefs of state meeting might fellow. Minnesotans Admit Liking Cold Winters Minneapolis (U.R) Hardy Minnesotans, beset by cold, snow and the inconveniences of heavy clothing, still like their winters, a poll reveals. Seven out of 10 persons quizzed by the Minneapolis Tib une admitted they like the win ter season, listing as reasons that the cold weather is invigor ating and more healthful. Others said they liked the' outdoor sports. Seventy-nine per cent of those polled said they thought winters were becoming less severe. Tonight's 'Oscar1 Program End of Tight Talent Race Hollywood U.Ri One of the tightest Oscar races in Holly wood history comes to a photo finish tonight at the 27th annual presentation of the motion pic ture industry's famed Academy Awards. More than 2,800 Hollywood stars, executives, technicians and just plain fans will jam the Pantages theater on Hollywood blvd. to watch filmdom's most gala public event of the year. Millions of TV and radio set owners across the nation also will "attend" the presentations which will be beamed to NBC TV and radio stations from 7:30 to 9 p.m. (PST). At post time, two comparative newcomers from New York, Grace Kelly and Marlon Brando, were given a slight edge to win the best acting honors of 1954 over Hollywood veterans Judy Garland and Bing Crosby. A straw poll of 15 per cent of the 1,600 motion picture acad emy voters indicated Miss Kelly, a socialite beauty, would win her first Oscar for portraying an unglamorous wife in "The Country Girl." Brando, the straw vote con ducted by daily Variety, a trade paper, indicated, would be given the nod for his violent character in "On the Watefront." But Los Angeles newspaper film critics yesterday predicted the best actress Oscar would go to the once-troubled Miss Gar land. She staged a spectacular comeback in a musical, "A Star Is Born." Crosby supporters were equally sure he would win for his startling portrayal of an alcoholic in 'The Country Girl." Industrial Plants To Buy Costlier Power Portland (U.R) Eleven of the 14 industrial plants suffer ing a 75 per cent cut in their interruptible power supply have contracted to buy supplement ary higher-cost steam power, the Bonneville Power Administra tion said Tuesday. Bonneville was forced Mon day to step up its power cut from 50 to 75 per cent. A BPA spokesman said interruptible power would be cut off entire ly from 6 a.m. until midnight daily. The 25 per cent available will be delivered to the plants from midnight to 6 a.m. The Bonne ville announcement said there had been no improvement in water runoff, although weather had been a little warmer east of the Cascades. Between 6 a.m. and midnight all of Bonneville's interruptible power will go to meet firm pow er commitments. The near-sighted . elephant uses his sense of smell and hear ing to give warning of potential enemies. His flapping ears be come stiff as boards and fan out when he feels the presence of danger. Crosby is the only past Oscar winner, having taken the award in 1944 for his priest character in "Going My Way." Miss Kelly was nominated last year while Brando is on his fourth nomina tion. Miss Garland was given a special Oscar as a child actress. All 20 actor nominees were scheduled to appear on the tele cast for the first time in Holly wood history. But nature spoiled the record when Miss Garland was rushed to the hospital early Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport cfla V RADI (&SP.

It was, in fact, the FIRST John Deere dealership west of the Mississippi River, and through the years of association, Hubbard Brothers and Hubbard-Wray have continued to serve the farmers and orchardists of this area. We are proud of the quality of the John Deere products we sell . . . proud of the increasing and lasting friendships we have made through the years.
