Holl Call Vot Another ' first" of the Legion convention was the roll call vote on approval of the finance com mittee report ending in a 216 to 216 tie. It took another night's vrk before the report was ac cepted. Local members of the 40 and 8 caused a veritable sensation with their Model T ford car and the black, whistle tooting locomotive. When they arrived Tuesday night they started giv ing rides to children. Approxl mately 4,000 kids were hauled around Redmond by the conven tion's close. In the 40 and 8 parade, the local body won the cup for best entry with -a barbers' chair mounted on a heavy coil spring A man walked ahead of the chair grabbing men from the crowd to take their "free shave."

They said that only by end ing conflicts between nations could the peoples on. earth es cape total destruction by the hydrogen bomb. The noted atomic scientist Vannevar Bush said today that the H-bomb has- in effect out lawed all-out war. But, he said, the United States has failed to arm itself for the minor wars which probably will continue to break out in areas of tension. Atomic Stalematt Writing in the magazine, "Na tion's Business," Bush said that we are heading into what you might call an atomic stalemate. But he said, military people have been buried in the sheer necessity of thinking through the implications of the atomic bomb and thus have not been able to place enough emphasis on how to handle secondary wars. Bush said he cannot see how an A-bomb could be used in a minor war without tripping off a major catastrophe. But for one day last week, the hydrogen and atom bombs were shoved into the back ground . . . their terror sup planted by visions of the fu ture. President Eisenhower announ ced that a small satellite would be sent above the atmosphere to rotate around the earth in outer space. Now, the Imagination has done its work and the time has come for the hard facts of life. Apparently this too, is- bringing problems. Democratic Senator Henry Jackson of Washington has call ed for a congressional review of this country's proposed earth satellite program. Jackson, who is a member of the senate armed services com mittee, is particularly wary of the president's plan to share any information- received from the satellite with the Russians. He says he opposes any exchange of information in the program be cause as he puts it "The first consideration will be the mili tary application." But the satellite not only brought Jackson to his feet. It almost knocked house parlia mentarian Lewis Deschler for a loop. Nam Bill Introduced Democratic rep. Frank Kar sten of Missouri introduced a bill to name the satellite "as tranaut." That was fine, but it was Deschler's job to decide what to do with the bill. He could have sent the bill Mongold Jerseys Receive Awards "Ton of Gold" certificates have been awarded to three reg istered Jersey cows owned by W. D. Mongold, Route 1, Eagle Point, by the American Jersey Cattle club. The recognition was given Mongold's Jerseys after they had produced more than a ton of butterfat during a four-year period on a Herd Improvement Registry test. The "Honored" cows are La Pine Sybil Cheryl, producing 2,362 lbs. of butterfat; Pine Sybil Givia, producing 2,138 lbs. of butterfat; and Sylvan Lord's Rosebud, producing 2,246 lbs. of butterfat. to the appropriations committee because the satellite would cost money. Or he could have passed it on to armed services because the satellite might be the start of a space Navy ... or he could have sent it to government op erations because the program is a government one. But Deschler didn't send it to any of them. He finally shooed it on to the foreign relations committee, figuring the satellite, on its trip around the world, would zoom over other nations too. And oh yes, the name, "As tranaut." That comes from two Greek words . . . "Astrom," meaning star, and "Nautes," meaning sailor or ship. Rogue Rangers Plan For Aug. 73 Hay ride Plans for a hayride and water melon "feed" were made during a recent meeting of the Rogue Rangers.

The club now has a membership of 38. The Rangers recently were awarded the blue ribbon for the best parade group in the parades staged by the Jackson County Mounted Sheriff's posse to ad vertise the 13th annual Round up held last week-end.

Main Ph. 2-5646 New Procedure Set To Determine Age Of Liquor Buyers Portland A new simplified procedure for determining the age of young purchasers seeking to buy alcoholic liquor becomes effective this week. The state law previously required that li censees of the Oregon liquor con trol commission when doubtful as to the legal age of a purchaser secure a written statement of age. This still is required, but the form on which the statement is made has been simplified, and the commission hopes it will en courage greater vigilance on the part of licensees, and deter min ors from attempting purchases. The law requires that when doubt exists as to the legal age of a customer, the licensee or permittee shall require the cus tomer to certify on an OLCC form that he is 21 years of age or older, and to list by number his driver's license, military rec ord, liquor permit or other iden tification indicating his true age or identity. Should the purchaser prove to be a minor, the licensee may of fer the statement of age, cards and other documents exhibited by the purchaser as legal defense of any administrative or crimi nal prosecution for sale or' ser vice of alcoholic beverages to a minor. Fines up to S250 and jail sent ence up to 90 days are penalties for misrepresenting age to se- Dixon-Yates Testimony To Justice Department Washington (U.R) A Senate Ant i-Monopoly Subcommittee has voted to send its Dixon Yates testimony to the Justice Department for study of "glaring conflicts" in the testimony of utility executive Edgar H.
