Famous Trichologist Tells
Truth About Saving
And Improving Hair
This new method of home
treament of saving and grow
ing thicker hair will be dem
onstrated in Medford. Oregon,
Wednesday only. June 1.
These srivate individual
demonstrations will be held at
the Jackson Hotel on Wednes
day only, June 1. 2 P.M. til
9 P.M.
OKLAHOMA CITY May 28
In an interview here today D.
Russell Collins, internationally
famous trichologist and director
of the Collins Hair and Scalp
Experts. Inc., said, "There are 18
different scalp disorders that
cause most men and women to
lose hair. Using common sense,
a person must realize no one
tonic or so-called cure-all coulcl
correct all the disorders," he ex
plained.
GUARANTEED
"The Collins firm, recognizing
that most people are skeptical of
claims that hair can be grown on
balding heads, offers a guaran
tee." Collins said.
Once a person avails them
seLves to the Collins treatment
his skepticism immediately dis
appears. To insure this, we otier
this guarantee. "If you are not
completely satisfied writh your
hair progress in the very first
30 davs your money will be re
turned." HOPELESS CASES
DISCOURAGED
First the Collins specialists are
quick to tell hopeless cases that
they cannot be helped. But the
hopeless-' cases are few. Only
if a man is completely, shiny
bald is he in this lost category.
If there is fuzz, no matter how
light, thin, or colorless, the Col
lins firm can perform wonders.
Everyone is given a complete,
private examination to deter
mine the condition of his scalp,
and cause for his hair trouble.
FREE EXAMINATIONS
This examination is very thor
ough and highly technical, it re
quires 20 to 30 minutes. There is
no charge for this examination
Swimming Party Trip
Turns Into Tragedy
Minden, La. (U.R) Two air
men and a Waf were killed
Sunday and two other airmen
were injured when their auto
mobile ran off a curve while en
route to a nearby lake for a swim
after a beer drinking party.
Three others were in the car.
Killed were Waf Airman 3-C

Airman 2C Ralph C. Mirabal,

and no appointment is necessary.
After the examination he is told
the required length of treatment
and how much it will cost.
After starting treatment, he
makes regular reports to the Col
lins firm in Oklahoma City, and
a trichologist will retrun - to
check his progress periodically.
To spread the opportunity of
normal, healthy hair to the
thousands who are desperately
looking for help, the Collins
frim is spending specialists to
various cities throughout the
United States to conduct exami
nations and start home treat
ment. NO CUREALL
"We have no cure-all for slick,
shiny baldness," Collins empha
sizes. "If there is fuzz, the root
is still capable of creating hair
and we can perform what seems
to me a miracle."
There is one thing Collins
wants to be certain every man
and woman knows. If a recession
appears at the temples or a spot
begins to show up on the crown
of the head, there is something
wrong and it should be given
immediate attention.
HAIR FOR LIFETIME
"If clients follow our direc
tions during treatment, and aft
er they finish the course, there
is no reason why they will not
have hair all the rest of their
lives," Collins said. "Our firm is
definitely behind this treatment,
it all depends on the individual
client's faithful observation of
a few simple rules."
HOW'S YOUR HAIR?
If it worries you call Tri
chologist S. M. Carey, at the
Jackson Hotel in Medford,
Oregon on Wednesday only,
June 1. 2 P.M. til 9 P.M. The
public is invited. You do not
need an appointment. The ex
aminations are private and
you will not be embarrassed
or obligated in any way.

Annual Wage,
Stock Sharing
Plans Considered
Detroit (U.R) The Ford
Motor company replies today to
CIO President Walter Reuther's
bold offer to let Ford workers
decide between his annual wage
plan and Fords stock-sharing
offer.
The company was expected to
tell Reuther before nightfall if
it would accept his dare to put
the two plans to a binding vote
of Ford workers. The answer
appeared to hold the key to
whether the auto industry is in
for crippling strikes this year.
If Ford rejects the offer, it
appeared certain Reuther would
call his 140.000 United Auto
Workers in the huge Ford em
pire out on strike Thursday. If
Ford accepts, Reuther said he
will call off the strike.
Eliminate Cost Question
Reuther, in proposing the vote,
said the union would agree to
scale its annual wage demand
. down to- the point where it
would cost only 12 cents an hour.
He said that is the same amount
the company's "prosperity plan"
would cost and would eliminate
the cost as any question in the
matter.
The negotiations reached a cli
max rapidly during the long
Memorial Day week end. It was
Ford himself who first suggest
ed the idea of a vote by rank-and-file
members. In a letter to
Reuther, in which he declined
Reuther's offer to attend a meet
ing at which the union's Ford
council decided to strike Thurs
day, he urged Reuther to take
the Ford plan for "partnership
in prosperity" to 'the union
membership.
He said it would be an "un
forgiveable error" if rank-and-file
members weren't given their
say on his comany's offer for
stocksharing and other bene
fits given the union last Thurs
day. Reuther, who let the Ford
suggestion go by for 48 hours,
suddenly seized upon it in a
move that appeared to catch the
company by surprise on Monday.
He suddenly handed Ford a
letter saying "I Agree." He said
the final decision should be left
up to Ford workers. But he said
the workers should be permit
ted to decide between the Ford
plan and his plan for a guaran
teed annual wage. He threw in
the provision that both sides
"agree in advance to be fctound
by the democratic decision of
the Ford workers."
Ford has offered a program to
let workers buy stock at half
price, borrow money without in
terest when laid off and receive
severance pay if Dermanentlv
discharged.

Strike Would Cost Ford Workers
Editor's not: The following dis
patch exclusive!- sets forth for the
first time exactly how much it will
cost the 140.000 i'ord employees to g
on strike against Ford Motor Co.. a
privately-owned concern of the Ford
family, never files annual statements
which would include such figures.
By REY W. BRANE
United Press Correspondent
Detroit (U.R) It will cost
Ford Motor Co. workers nearly
S3,000.000 a day to go on strike
Thursday if a settlement of the
current contract dispute isn't
reached.
The figures include the S2,
690.000 a day Ford workers get
in direct wages from the com
pany and an extra S2.50 a day
per worker in fringe benefits.
In just three weeks, in direct
wage losses, the strike would
cost workers $40,350,000.
That is more money than all
of the past nine authorized
strikes against Ford in the
union's history have cost work
ers. The other nine strikes com
bined have cost only $40,000,
000 in wage losses.
In the Detroit area alone,
where Ford has 76.000 hourly
workers, the cost of a strike in
direct wages each day would be
Western Mexico
Area Strangled
By Lack of Power
Guadalajara (U.R) A power
shortage is slowly strangling this
tourist and industrial center of
western Mexico.
Prolonged dry spells have left
Guadalajara with only three
hours of electric power daily.
The once-flourishing city is on
the verge of economic collapse
and industries are seeking per
mits to move elsewhere.
Despite scores of small, gasoline-powered
generators used to
give light to homes and small
businesses, Guadalajara after
dark is almost a ghost city.
Streets Deserted
The wide, new streets and nar
row, cobblestone lanes dating
back to the Spanish conquest are
virtually deserted at night be
cause many people are afraid to
leave their homes. Crime has in
creased greatly since the long
blackouts began.
The drought has been building
up for years, but only recently
have its effects reached disaster
proportions.
In this city of contrasts, where
ultra-modern buildings tower be
side ancient, colonial structures,
thousands of workmen are idle
because of shutdowns ' wheat
mills, textile plants, distilleries
and railway shops.
The chamber of commerce es-!
timates production has fallen to
80 per cent below normal.
Bank deposits have dropped
sharply in recent weeks. Drug
stores no longer handle medi
cine's that require refrigeration.
Merchants suffer because sales
have decreased.
No Grass on Ranges
Thousands of acres of parched
farmland can no longer be irri
gated,' and there is no grass on
the ranges for livestock.
A group of industrialists has
asked the federal government to
find a source of emergency
power for the dying city, but at
present no solution is at hand.
The ministry of hydraulic re
sources in Mexico City is study
ing the possibility of releasing
more water from fast-disappearing
Lake Chapala, the city's only
source of power, but says the
level is dangerously low.
In the past five years, the big
lake has receded to points of
more than a mile from towns
that were once lakeside resorts.
El Cobano hydroelectric plant,
which was set into operation
April 20 in the neighboring state
of Michoacan, will furnish lim
ited power to Guadalajara, but
industrialists say it will be far
short of normal requirements.
As a last resort, the Chamber
of Commerce is bringing down a
group of American rainmakers
who will try to fill Lake Cha
pala. But at least 12 inches of rain
are needed to bring the ie'vel
back to normal and the operation
depends largely on weather con
ditions and coud formations.

Sl.600.000. Each week the bill
would mount up to S8,000,000 in
the Detroit area, while in the
nation it would cost $14,800,000
a week.
If the strike develops over the
annual wage, both the union and
company expect a long-drawn
battle that could last four to six
months. The strike against
Chrysler in 1950 lasted 108 days.
A four month strike against
Ford would cost its workers
S251,600,000 in wages, more
than quarter of a billion dollars.
But this cost, compiled from
official figures, would be only a

one person and wounded six
others in two downtown banks
today before he was felled him
self by police gunfire.
Police identified the gunman
as Richard Meyrs, 46. He was
reported near death with a bul
let wound in the abdomen.
They said he walked into the
Third National Bank and shot
five persons with a .38 caliber
automatic pistol, then dashed
to the adjoining Winter National
Bank and Trust Co., where he
shot two others before police
felled him with three bullets in
his body.
George Sawaya, a market op
erator, was killed when struck
by a bullet. He was a patron
in the Third National bank.
Police said the only explan
ation Meyers gave was that he
"did it for his God."
