Siam's Siamese
Twins Coo; Don't
Like Being Apart
Chicago U.R) Siam's separ
ated Siamese twins cooed and
held hands in the same crib Fri
day. They didn't like being sep
arated. The 22-month-old twins from
Thailand, the present name for
Siam, were separated in a ZVz-
hour operation at the University
of Chicago Billings hospital
Tuesday.
All their lives, they had been
joined by a band of tissues on
their stomach. They shared a
common, king-sized liver.
. After the operation, nurses
put Prissana and Napit Poplin
yo in a big crib, but at some dis
tance from each other.
Reaches Out Hands
As a nurse described it, "when
the first one' came out or the
ether, she reached out her hands
to touch the face of her sister
who had always been beside her.
"When she couldn't reach her,
she started howling. We had to
move them back close together
so they could touch each other."
"They're happy as can be and
even holding hands now and
then," the nurse said.
The twins were flown here 14
days ago. Doctors planned to
stop feeding them by vein Fri
day and start them on some solid
food. "
They promised the twins a,
good chance for normal, separate
lives.
Hermiston Girl Dies
Of Injuries in Fall
Spokane (U.R) Patricia
Manny, 9, Hermiston, Ore., died
Thursday night of injuries re
ceived when she fell about 40
feet from Hermiston butte last
Sunday.
Attendants at' Sacred Heart
hospital said the child had not
regained consciousness since the
accident.
Patricia was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Manny,
Hermiston, formerly of Spokane
and Walla Walla.
a Phoenix High school . student,
were chosen by the Medford
squadron as their outstanding
cadets. They are representing
Medford in the foreign exchange
program preliminaries in Port
land this week end.
Basis Told
The cadets are chosen by what
they have contributed and what
they have received from . Civil
Air patrol, as well as their activ
ities in school, in church and in
the community. It is felt that to
be an "ambassador of good will"
in a foreign country, a cadet
must be outstanding in his or
her own community.
Cadet Lt. Foust was chosen as
the outstanding cadet in 1953
summer encampment, in addi
tion to his other CAP activities.
Cadet Lt. Stevens has an out
standing attendance record and
received a certificate of achieve
ment in 1953. She has acted as
cadet adjutant to the squadron
for some time. Both cadets have
taken an active part-in all CAP
activities, from field problems to
classwork since becoming mem
bers. Have Sent Three
The Medford squadron has
been able to send a cadet to a
foreign country for three years.
James Merritt went to Denmark
in 1951; Albert Eaton to Eng
land in 1952; and William Neal
Jr. to the Netherlands in 1953.
It was necessary to skin 1954
since no male cadet was then
qualified to meet the high stand
ards set by national Civil Air
Patrol headquarters.
Three cadets from Oregon will
be chosen in 1955.
If Cadet Lt. Stevens is chosen,
she would be the first female
cadet chosen in foreign exchange
from Medford squadron.
Neely Plans Answer
To Critics of Talk
About Ike's Church
Washington (U.R) Salty
Sen. Matthew M. Neely (D-W
Va.) declares he will answer
all critics of his speech about
President Eisenhower's church
going "as soon as they get done
blowing off."
The 80-year-old West Virginia
Democrat said his remarks
which stirred Republican sena
tors to cries of "low blow" and
"personal abuse," were a toned-
down version of what he had
said in public for more than a
year in both successful re-elec
tion campaign and in Senate de
bate.
"I don't know what has stir
red up the animals this time,
he told a reporter, "except that
the ReDublicans know that if
they win in 1956, they have to
win with Eisenhower.
"They are trying to get
firm seat on his coattail."
The Bible-quoting Neely said
he did not criticize the Presi
dent's relieion or the fact he
went to church, "but I did de-
plore the fact that every lime
he went to church we had a half
page picture in the Monday pa
pers.
"I'd like to read, not that Ei
senhower was in church, but that
God was in there," Neely said
"I haven't criticized him for
his church connections, but
have said a good deal about
'standing on the street corners
and making loud prayers before
men."
"I intend to prove that my
whole speech was in complete
conformity with the Sermon on
the Mount."
Rise in Employment
Forecast by Agency
1 Washington (U.R) A mod
erate rise in employment for al
most all sections of the country
this spring has been predicted
by the Labor Department.
The department based its out
look on a survey showing that
employer hiring plans in 133
out of 149 major industrial cen
ters indicate "a moderately ris
ing employment trend" from
now through the middle of May.
The commerce department's
latest job figures showed 59,-
900,000 persons employed in
February and 3,400,000 unem
ployed. -
The department shifted San
Diego from the "moderate" to
the "substantial" unemployment
category, making it eligible for
special consideration in getting
government contracts.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIKE
Forest Service Planus
3 ESesearchProjects
BY A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The U.S. Forest
Service is planning to launch
three new research projects in
the Pacific Northwest, in Umatil
la, Willamette and Wenatchee
National Forests, in a drive to
find new ways of improving
watershed values of forestland
being damaged by logging and
grazing.
The Forest Service has budget
ed $40,000 for this purpose. If
approved by Congress this
spring in the Department of In
terior appropriation bill, the
grant would permit the projects
to be started this summer. Al
though still under the Agricul
ture Department, Forest Service
now is included in the Interior
budget bill by Congress.
Basically the problem, as ex
plained by Assistant Chief Verne
L. Harper, is to find methods of
restoring the stability of soil in
mountainous forest areas where
logging, grazing and access
road building have damaged the
capacity of the soil to hold
moisture. The degree to which
the watershed holds moisture is
a vital factor in prevention of
floods and soil erosion down
stream, as well as for supply
ing farmers with a steady water
supply throughout the dry sum
mer months.
"We hope to develop im
proved methods of logging and
road building," said Dr. Harper,
in order to minimize erosion
and increase water yield."
He said the research would
also go into the effects on soil
of burning logging slash. "It. is
controversial just how much
damage that does," he. noted.
In Umatilla National Forest
he said the research would deal
mainly with the problem of
grazing and its effects on the
soil, where as in Willamette
and Wenatchee forests logging
was the major concern.
Once the land is damaged, it
is always hard to bring back,"
declared Dr. Harper. "We used
to think all we had to do was let
it rest, take the cattle off the
land. But now we know that
doesn't work."
"In the national forests, tim
ber cutting . and logging road
construction are climbing higher
up on the mountain side," the
forester explained. "That is
where we have some of our most
critical watershed conditions
and where we find the most un
stable soil. Logging road con
struction is a real problem."
The question arises," con
tinued Dr. Harper, "whether we
should cut the timber in small
patches in order to conseve the
snow pack and try to get greater
stream flow, particularly during
German rearmament pacts will
do so by the end of this month.
Officials feel that the Sen
ate's approval of the pacts by
a 76-to-2 vote Friday will speed
action on them by Denmark,
The Netherlands, Belgium and
Luxembourg. The agreements
already have been ratified by
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Germany.

below. We do not have the an
swer to that problem yet."
The Forest Service is current
ly conducting just such a re
search project in the Willamette
forest', cutting out small sections
hidden as much as possible from
sun and wind to prevent melting
and evaporation of the snow
pack as much as possible. Dr.
Harper said this work was being
done in the Rockies and Sierras,
where in some cases it appeared
their research had found meth
ods of increasing water yield as
much as 20 per cent.
It is all part of man's effort
to conserve supplies of fresh
water which is in constantly
greater demand as the popula
tion mounts and industrial and
agricultural uses expand.
