Comment On This and That By HARMAN United Prast Washington U.R) Myrtle Cheney Murdock is an official guide on Capitol Hill, and if any- DOay Knows more about things around j Washington snow me ne or she. For 16 years Mrs. Murdock was hand hold er and secre tary to her hubby, John R. TTn -flr urhn x:i i. niiniu fl was a law giv er from Arizona. She was a school teacher when she was only 15 back in Missouri. She got herself a flock of college de grees. But more to the point, Mrs. Murdock is a student of what is forever under her pret ty nose, the nation's capital. She spent a lot of time track ing down the big names that have made America great, the likeness of folks who are in granite and bronze in National Statuary hall. And that is just what she calls her new illustrat ed book, "National Statuary Hall." Served Three Slates Any school kid who ever has visited Washington can tell you that every state is represented some place around the Capitol in metal or mixed up cement. Now there are 86 of these sta tues, with an inscription under each, tracing the line" of our his tory from 1607 up to today. I was ashamed to admit that on looking over the statues I didn't recognize a huge likeness of a man who called himself a na tive of Illinois, or often has been described as such. Gen. James Shields actually was born in Ireland in 1810. He "immi grated," it says on- the plaque, to Kaskaskia, 111., in, 1823. He was a lawyer and not only that, but a Supreme court judge, too. And also he was unique in that he was a senator from three states. ' ' That fact was new to me. First, the general became a member of the Senate from Illi nois. That was in 1849. Right after he served his term he moved to Minnesota. In 1858, he decided to run for the Senate in the Gopher state and durned if he didn't come up on top. Then the general moved to California, but, according to the records wasn't active in politics. Statues of Famous Men California sunshine didn't do the general any good, so he de cided to pack his duffle and move to Carrollton, Mo., where he entered politics again and wound up as a member of the Missouri General Assembly. He tried outfor the U.S. Sen ate and made it in 1879. Scattered in six places around the Capitol area are statues of the very great in our history. National Statuary hall, actual ly, epitomizes the story of America. There you find Lin coln, George Washington, Sam- Court Records POLICE COURT Dean Wesley Allen, violation of basic rule, S10.

Retired Husband Mopes Because of Idlnetc Most people think only in terms of the financial problems that come with retirement. There are other changes which must be faced. (Q) "My husband retired from business last October. At first. things were all right. He gets a good enough pension thai, with what we have saved, we can 'live much as we did be fore if we are careful. How ever, now that Dr. Hurlock he has cleaned out his papers, done some odd jobs around the house that he has been putting off for years, and gone through all his books and other possessions, he is at a loss to know what to do with his lime. He likes to read, but one cannot read all day. Then, too, he misses being with men and hav ing nothing special to do. He just wanders around the house and seems to be getting grumpy and moody. I have rrfy housework and community interests, but it makes me feel guilty to go out and leave him alone. I don't want to give up my own interests but that seems to be what will hap pen unless I can help my husband to find something to do. What would you suggest?" (A) Isn"t there something he could do in line with the work he has done all his life, even if only on a part-time basis, to fill in for busy seasons or when an other worker is ill? Many retired men who are in good enough health get some kind of work, often part-time, after they retire. That would give your husband something definite to do and should make him feel much happier. ' Community organizations can always use men who have the time to give to their work. Talk to your pastor about this and see what he has to suggest. Get in touch with the local Red Cross and the hospital. In both those organizations your husband's services would be very welcome. This would bring him in contact with people and give him outside intersts just as you have. (Copyright 1 955, General Features Corp.) Dead line Sunday Classified it at noon Saturday; 1 a. m.

Bic Jim' Mitchell has been handling the tough and touchv job of secretary of labor for 2H years now. In an exclusive interview with United Press he tells what he thinks of his job and com ments on some of its problems. Sams Valley Grange Upper Rogue Grange members were guests of the Sams Valley Grange at the last meeting held May 24. The meeting was opened with Master Ralph James pre siding. Under agriculture, Al Straus reported that under A.C.P. rul ings now in effect wheat growers without allotment were eligible to receive funds from this source. Barley is now higher but oats lower in price. The demand for wheat is slow. Beef outlook is somewhat better. Trend seems to be feeder prices down, fed cattle up may reflect higher feed costs. New assessment values do not seem reasonable according to today's prices for farm produce and the lands abil ity to produce, he said. A motion was made by Anne Varley, and passed, to give a scholarship to a member of the Ju venile Grange to attend Grange camp. Also Mrs. Charley reported that Eagle Point was alloting a similar scholarship to a member of our Grange. Mickie Duggan will represent the Sams Valley Juvenile Grange at the State Grange at Klamath. Eighty-three Grangers were present at the meeting. The guest book recorded 31 from Upper Rogue, 14 visitors from Gold Hill, 3 from Live Oak, 6 from Eagle Point, 3 from Central Point, 2 from Phoenix, 1 from Roxy Ann, 1 from Upper Apple gate, and 2 from Shady Cove. Sams Valley members present totalled 20. Lecturer Carl Richardson from Upper Rogue presented an inter esting, well balanced program. Songs by Mrs. Richardson and son were much enjoyed, a darky manikin doing a tap dance was. an entertaining novelty number, a jig by Mr. Richardson was high ly complimented, and a fish mar ket scene by several of the mem bers pointed out the possibilities of advertising with only a few words. The program was topped with an inspirational talk by Mrs. Everett Faber on the work of the United Nations. Mrs. Faber pointed out that too many were not familiar with the fine work the UN is doing or the interna tional good will it is promoting. The cooperative use of medicines to cure chronic ailments is great ly adding to the health of many unfortunates in many nations. This help is not a handout but the local governments put up money for half the expenses. It is a program designed to help teach people to help themselves. In her talk Mrs. Faber empha sized the fact that more people should know more about the UN and not be subject to the nega tive rumors that are always spread about worthwhile pro jects. Talks were given by several distinguished visitors, among them were Ma'sters Herb Carlton of Upper Rogue, Herman Kamp king of Gold Hill, Roy Cameron of Live Oak and Reed McKay of Shady Cove. Also speaking were Willie McLean, Ramona lecturer, and Roscoe Roberts, state deputy! After the talks by these visit ors the meeting was adjourned to the banquet hall where re fresh men.ts of sandwiches cookies and coffee were served. On Friday, June 17, the Sams Valley Grange will be guests of the Central Point Grange. Sams Valley will provide the program. Next meeting at Sams Valley will be Tuesday, June 21. Klamath Man Has Scheme for Longevity Klamath Falls (U.R) Wil mot (Poker Bill) Crandall, who'll be 105 years old June 17 and who still goes prospecting for gold every year in Trinity county, California, said today he could have saved Ponce De Leon his futile hunt for the mythical fountain of youth. "I could have given that Span ish dude the real lowdown on longevity," Poker Bill said. "Eat plenty of bear meat and venison. Drink spring water. Don't drink too much whiskey and smoke plenty of good cigars." By MAUREEN GOTHLIN United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell hit back today at union leaders who claim his job is practically an impossible one in a Republican administration. It's the union leaders them selves, not the administration, who make the job tough, Mitch ell said. "Big Jim" Mitchell, who came to the cabinet 2Vfe years ago from other tough jobs in labor relations, gave this view just be fore taking off for Europe for an International Labor Organ ization meeting. "We're trying to do a job in the way we sit it in the interests of the working man," he said in an interview with United Press. "We get the avowed op position of some trade union leaders when we should be get ting their support or at least their neutrality. "Naturally, this makes it more difficult for me, both within the administration and with Congress." He added that he thought un ion leaders "could serve their membership better if they were more cooperative." Mitchell said today that "I get as much support as I could ex pect within the administration." "On any matter that I've felt strongly about I've gotten sup port." One of the bigest issues on which Mitchell has been chal lenged by union leaders is his stand against so-called"right-to-work" laws in 18 states which ban union-management agree ments for compulsory union membership. When he called for repeal of such laws, union leaders said he should get the administration to ask Congress to repeal them by amending ,the Taft-Hartley law. When President Eisenhower said Mitchell was not speaking for the administration on this mat ter, union leaders said Mitchell had been "repudiated." Mitchell said today that his position of urging states to re peal the laws is "realistic." "For seven years, unions have been trying to repeal Taft-Hartley and they haven't made any progress,"- he said. Asked what he thinks is the biggest problem facing organ ized labor, Mitchell said the ban by various states on compulsory union membership, such as the union shop, is "one of the big gest." "Unions should be encouraged to strengthen and grow," he said. "These laws tend to dis courage their growth." Blames Politics Mitchell said his personal re lationships with union leaders are good. He said he assumes their public attacks on him and on the administration's labor pro posals are "necessary for politi cal purposes. "I don't think the Republican party has the right to expect labor's support, nor has the Dem ocratic party," he said. "Labor should support the best candi dates on the issues." As to whether labor has bene fited under the Republican ad- TYPEWRITERS & ADDING MACHINES Repaired MEDFORD OFFICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY 41 S.

He listed "the highest wages, the highest real earnings with the stabiliz ing of the cost-of-living, tremend ous improvements in social se curity, improvements in unem ployment compensation, work men's compensation and state minimum wages, and the admin istration's general policy of per mitting free collective bargain ing." The administration's policy of keeping "hands off" wage dis putes is "beneficial it) the long run because it permits labor to use its own economic strength," Mitchell said. Canada is larger in area than the United States. 1 CJSy YOU'LL IMPROVE ANY RECIPE THAT CALLS FOR FLOUR WITH KITCHEN CRAFT AFLOUR StlK-SIFTED FOR UGHTEt BAKING At joS A FEW AT STORE Look what Mr. Peterson told those financiers! Pit w lfikZJ Mr. Alfred G. Peterson, a forth right man, addressed the con vention of the Savings Associa tions League of N. Y. State and boldly discussed the matter of advertising-of his own free will. Mr. Peterson, who is president of the National Savings and Loan League, and president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Greenwich, Connecticut, spoke as follows : "I feel that advertising is a very profitable investment. But we should not buy advertising blindly. We should give careful consideration both to the-appeals and the media we use." And listen to this ! "The medium which tops the list is the medium that reaches the greatest number of people at the lowest cost. It is my opinion the newspaper is that medium ..." But that isn't all .. because it reaches the local market All of us are really conducting local businesses. "We may be bound together into a national in dustry, but our spheres of influence are entirely local. "The newspaper reaches precisely the people we want to reach." Ah, Mr. Peterson you are a man who knows his investment! Last year the institution headed by Mr. Peter son invested 5 of its gross income on adver tising, and more than 60 of that went into newspapers. In only ten years this Association multiplied its total resources eighUfold! Gosh! If savings and loan people themselves advertisel think how they must feel about lend ing money to people wha work for sound com' panies who advertise soundly in newspapers. "I place the newspaper at the top of the list All business is local...and so are all newspapers!
