Combs Holds Edge Over Chandler in Kentucky Election Lousiville, Ky., (U.R) First unofficial returns from 280 pre cincts out of the state's 4,163 Saturday showed administration candidate Bert T. Combs hold ing a narrow lead over former baseball commissioner A. B. : (Happy) Chandler in the Dem- eratic gubernatorial primary. o, The returns, mostly from 'touisville and the northern Ken tucky metropolitan area, gave Combs 16.892 votes to Chand ler's 15,067, as Chandler at tempted to wrest the nomination lrom the state administration. All indications pointed to a vote of half a million, much heavier than normal. Tabulation Halted Polls closed at 5 p.m. Cent ral standard time as required by state law. Tabulation began shortly after but was halted by midnight and will be resumed Monday morning. Chandler' opponent for the Democratic nomination for gov ernor is Bert T.

Grants Pass Scout Tells of Preparations for 8th World Jamboree Slated Aug. 18-28 (Editor's Note: The follow ing article is the first in a series written by Loran "Sil ver" Hasselt, Grants Pass Boy Scout, who is one of two Scouts from this area attend ing the Eighth Boy Scout World Jamboree at Niagara, Canada.) By LORAN HASSETT In the next month I hope that many of you and 1 can get bet ter acquainted. My name is Loran Hassett (better known to some of the Scouts in the Council as "Sil ver."), and I am, with a boy named Rodger Thompson of Weed, Calif., to represent the Scouts and Scouters of Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Cave Junction, and Northern Califor nia at the Eighth World Jam boree at Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada. I'll be sending these letters every week. I graduated from Grants Pass high school this spring and plan to go on to OSC and take up en gineering. My father is a logging contractor and has a small ranch specializing in Angus cattle and Arabian horses. I've been in Scouting for near ly nine years and have attained the ranks of Silver Award in Ex ploring and Life in Scouting. I am now a Junior Assistant Scout Master at the VFW Troop and Post 22 in Grants Pass. The Jamboree is a thing of which I wish we could all be privileged to partake. There will be 10,000 Scouts at the Jam boree with only 1,500 of them from the United States, who will be all divided by units into 10 sub-camps in which Scouts from every nation will be living intimately. From this we will be able to gain first-hand opinions of a foreign country and get some opinions of our own about their countries by way of their de scriptions. We, from the North west, will also get to see the whole northern side of the United States from Oregon to New York, as well as some of Canada. Here are the itinerary and tours which we will be taking: Itinerary: Leave Grants Pass Aug. 7; training session at Mis soula Aug. 9-11; Chicago, Aug. 12; Washington, D. C, Aug. 13; New York, Aug. 14-16; Montreal, Aug. 17; Jamboree, Aug. 18-28; arrive home Aug. 31 or Sept. 1. Tours: Aug. 13 Washington, D. C: Old Ford theater, U. S.

Armstrong, 26, Seattle,-was killed Friday night when his car collided with the rear of a slow moving dump truck a mile north of here on the Pacific highway. Thrown from the car when it somersaulted into a ditch was Lottie West, 35, Seattle and Wil liam Ylinen, 30, Eugene, Ore. They were takn to Cowlitz gen eral hospital at Longview. Police said the car apparently struck the truck, somersaulted into a three foot ditch and then bounced back on the highway again. The truck driver, Curley Knudson, Kelso, Wash., was un injured according to Cowlitz county coroner Dr. D. D. Davenport. By training and experience with many different kinds of hearing loss, I have been able to bring better hearing to hun dreds. Now I have another wonderful new hearing aid to help break through that iron curtain of deafness. This is the micro-midget Sonotone "100." H is as small as a matchbook and weighs about one ovnce. If s not a gadget designed to attract by just being small. This is a rea aid to HEARING, with traditional built-in Sonotone quality. When you do business with Sonotone, you invest in a com plete hearing service and join thousands of happy users in a better hearing program. A Nkhol's Worth of . . I Comment On By HARMAN United Pre" Washineton (U.R) Mrs. Wil - ma Davis was digging through a stock of forgotten lore at the Library of Con- 1 gress when she came upon a treasure which had been lost for years. Mrs. Davis is librarian of the copyright section and what she found is believed, for sure, to be a Harman Nichols copy of the first copyright bill. The original was printed, but that record never has been found, either. What Mrs. Davis found was a musty old letterpress book. At the heading of what concerns copyrights was the notation: "H. R. 10, 1st Cong., 1st Sess." In other words, the House of Representatives, bill No. 10, in the first session - of the First Congress. It was offered by Rep. Benjamin Huntington of Con necticut on June 23, 1789. Endi Long Search Everybody had thought the historic bit of paper had been destroyed. The Library of Con gress had made a continuing search. So, across the years, had people at the National Archives, and those in the office of the secretary of the Senate. "It was an accident, really," Mrs. Davis said. "I was looking for. something else. I can't re member what now." The copy of the bill, letter press book and all, was turned over to George D. Carjv head legal advisor of the Copyright Office. He studied it and came up with an analysis. : The original copyright bill ap plied only to books. Copyright protection since has been extend ed to such things as sheet music, newspaper and magazine articles and the like. Rights, according to Cary, ex tended to the author, the book seller and the printer. Money for Informers "Unauthorized printing or im portation from abroad of pirati cal copies was prohibited." Cary said. Anybody caught violating a copyright was required to turn in the illegal book to the copy right owner, who according to the lettering of the bill "shall forthwith make waste paper of Price Daniel Asks U. S. Hospital Use For Dope Adicls Washington (U.R) Chairman Price Daniel of a senate judici ary subcommittee on narcotics urged Saturday that facilities of Federal Narcotics hospital be used to fight the "socially con tagious" narcotics habit. The Texas Democrat made the suggestion to H. Chapman Rose, chairman of the govern ment's inter-department com mittee on narcotics. He said sta tistics from the surgeon's gen eral's office show that more than 500 people have voluntarily applied but have no hope for immediate treatment at hospitals at Lexington, Ky., and Forth Worth, Tex. Seeks Information The public health service, meanwhile, announced it has appointed a narcotics specialist to gather information on the problems of drug addiction in states and localities. Dr. Ken neth W. Chapman, a health service psychiatrist, was named to the newly-created post and will work through health ser vice regional offices providing advice on rehabilitation of ad dicts. Daniel said bed space at Fort Worth was made available to 518 mental patients last year compared with 297 narcotic ad dicts. Long Waiting List He said the Lexington hos pital accommodated 110 patients while it had a waiting list of "several hundred addicts." "It is obvious," he wrote Rose, "(hat if arrangements were made for treatment of these mental patients at other institutions, and if he narcotics hospitals were used primarily for the pur pose for which they were estab lished, all of the more than 500 drug addicts now on the waiting list could be hospitalized im mediately." Ex-Creamery Official Succumbs at Tillamook Tillamook (U.R) Preston Williams, 68-year-old former president of the Tillamook Coun ty Creamery Association, died here yesterday after a lingering illness. Williams was president of the association during the years the big county creamery was con structed. He is survived by his wife, Alma; his mother, Mrs. Mary Nattie Williams, and one brother, Alvie Williams of Bay City. Funeral services will be held here Monday. Dead line Sunday , Classified is at noon Saturday: 10 a.m. Monday for Monday;' other day 5.30 previous day. lis This and That W. NICHOLS Fuhm Writw i same. A monetary forefeiture was mentioned, too although there was no dollar sign attached. "As I interpret it," Cary said, "one half of the sum, or penalty whatever, was to go to the au thor, and the other half to what I take to be informers." In those days, when a man copyrighted a book, he was sup posed to let everybody know about it in a newspaper adver tisement. In the - second ' session of the First Congress the air was clear ed somewhat - when - separate bills were introduced for copy rights and patents.' As any copyright lawyer or patent attorney' will tell you, today there is quite a difference. r We're Celebrating Our 25th Birthday Choose Any 20-30 or 40 Gallon Size Water Heater-Buy It At- WITH Naturally IT'S GAS Look To The Future!
