Several Thousand
Oregon Youth Eye
Work Possibilities
Salem (U.R) Oregon employ
ers soon will have available sev
eral thousand young workers
adequately tested for many lines
of activity, according to the State
Unemployment Service.
Reports from employment of
fices all over Oregon indicate
nearly 16,000 persons will gradu
ate from high schools in the next
few weeks and a good propor
tion of them will be looking for
permanent jobs.
With the aid of the general
aptitude test battery, now in
stalled in practically all 26 local
offices of the employment ser
vice, these graduates are discov
ering a scientific basis for evalu
ating their abilities. The service
is conducted by the State Unem
ployment Compensation Commis
sion. "The test battery is nationally
recognized and has proved high
ly successful in picking the field
of work in which a person is
likely to be efficient," Earl R.
Lovell, state employment di
rector, said. "Over the past few
years we have extended the use
of this method until most of
those entering the general labor
market now are covered."
'Commie' Border Guards
Fire on Berlin Taxicab
Berlin (U.R) Communist

Germany further tightened its
"baby blockade" on the western
half of this divided city deep in
Red torritory.
Red police pegged seven shots
at the taxi as it drove along a
border road on the boundary of
Berlin and the Soviet zone of
Germany. Western police re
ported no one injured.

Defendant Occupies
Evidence in Court
Omaha (U.R) During a
recent court trial of several men
on assault and battery charges,
numerous references were made
by the prosecuting attorney to a
chair one of the defendants al
legedly threw at one of the plain
tiffs during a scuffle.
In summing up his case, the
defense attorney demanded to
know why the chair hadn't been
introduced as evidence, since, it
had such important bearing on
the case.
The prosecuting attorney then
pointed to one of the defendants
and remarked:
"One of your clients has been
sitting on the chair all through
the trial. I didn't want to disturb
him."

On The Side
(Distributed by Kiaf

Retirement from business by
a man in his middle 50s is likely
to shorten his life. So it is fre
quently claimed. That doesn't go
for men with hobbies that keep
their minds active. Izaak Wal
ton, London businessman, retired
at 50. He enjoyed 40 years of
leisure, not passing on until his
90th year. As you know, Wal
ton's hobby was fishing. The
first edition of his classic "The
Compleat Angler" was publish
ed when he was 60. He wrote a
fifth edition when 83.
Asides
According to the color psy
chology experts the color with
the least sex appeal is orange.
That with the most sex appeal
is pink ... A highway sign I
always remember is one I saw at
a very sharp turn on a New Eng
land highway. It read: "Prepare
to meet thy God." That sign
nearly always slowed the speed
ier motorists down ... In 1943
Soviet Russia issued a stamp that
had on it a group picture of
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin.
That should be a collector's item.
Almost Confidential
The first bank I was ever in
was the Irish Emigrants Sav

Went there with my mother.

who already have four or more
children are most likely to nave
twins. The chances are increased
if married to a man of Irish
birth or descent.
Missing Persons
One of the world's most effic
ient missing persons bureaus is
conducted by the Salvation Army
at its headquarters in London,
England. This bureau has connec
tions everywhere in the world
except behind the Iron Curtain.
It has the remarkable record of
finding 66 per cent of the miss
ing persons it has received in
quiries about.

There are red, pink, green and

is that every bathroom has a spe

Absence
Discussing the question as to
whether absence makes the heart
grow fonder or that an "out of
sight, out of mind" situation pre
vails in most cases, La Rochefou
cauld said, "absence abates a
moderate passion and intensifies
a great one as the wind blows
out a candle but fans fire into
a flame."

Administration's Handling of
Vaccine May Be Political Issue
NOT TO BE LOADED
Annapolis, Md. (U.R) It's
illegal for a hunter in Maryland
to carry a loaded gun when he
is "loaded." Gov. Theodore R.
McKeldin recently signed into
law a general assembly bill for
bidding an intoxicated hunter
from carrying a loaded firearm.
Washington (U.R) The possl
bility that the administration's
handling of Salk polio vaccine
could become a real and blazing
political issue in next year's pres
idential campaign is something
politicians are just beginning to
sense.
There have been some rum
blings in Congress topped off by
the angry demand of Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) that Secretary
Oveta Culp Hobby be removed
from the cabinet. President Ei
senhower was angry when he re
jected Morse's idea in Wednes
day's news conference. He told
the reporters that Mrs. Hobby
was an uncommonly capable
woman with an outstanding rec
ord of business, government and
military administration.
More To Come
But the discussion will not end
there. There was a hint of more
to come in the carefully chosen
and brief comment by Adlai E.
Stevenson when he returned
Wednesday to Chicago from his
African tour. He was asked for
comment on the administration's
handling of the vaccine program.
"I was astounded to hear that
they (the administration) knew
all about it and had no prepara
tions for it," Stevenson replied
and refused further comment.
The implication of Stevenson's
remark is a serious charge that
the administration fumbled bad
ly. But his criticism was indirect,
implied, only.

statement is sufficient evidence
that the Democratic man of the
year in 1952 and, perhaps 1956,
is not yet sure in his own mind.
He is not sure he could avoid a
backfire if he made a firm polti
cal issue of the handling of the
Salk vaccine. The health of chil
dren is an anxious thing. Ste
venson is a more cautious man
than Morse, by large measure.
Parents' Ultimate Attitude
What polticians of both par
ties will want to see is the ulti
mate attitude of parents toward
a monumental effort, which so
far has had its ups and downs,
to'curb the disease which preys
so particularly on little children.

campaign are a long way off,
mostly beyond the 1956 polio sea
son. The administration han
dling of the program will be in
good perspective by then, the ef
fectiveness of the over-all effort
will have been put to severe al
though not complete test. The
minds of mothers and ded will
have arrived at whatever their
conclusions are to be.
It would not be fair to say that
anyone, Democrat or not, would
welcome the vaccine program as
a political issue because it would
not become such unless it devel
oped serious faults. But, if the
faults do develop and the par
ents so find, the political issue
of the Salk polio vaccine pro
gram could be deadly to Mr.
Eisenhower and his party.
