O 'SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Ellsworth Praises Administration for Accomplishments & Washington (U.R; Rep. (Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) said Saturday that President Eisen hower's administration has thieved "an impressive record (lit accomplishments for the good of the country." But with Democrats in con trol of Congress, there has been much "pulling and hauling" on needed legislation and "forward progress has not been note worthy." Severely Handicapped "Any administration," he said, ':s severely handicapped if the riVjposition party has control of Cthe Congress." Q Ellsworth gave his evaluation (Of achievements of both the Ex ecutive and Legislative branches (f government in a news letter o($t constituents. He listed a,s the chief accomp lishment of the executive branch ' peace throughout the world for the first time in nearly a gen eration." He addfd that "firmness and cordiality" by the president and his foreign advisers has eased tensions in the cold war. Also on Ellsworth's list for (irie executive branch were: "Communist influence in gov ernment wiped out the ques tion of subversives, and security risks in government has ceased to exist. Inflation Over "Inflation ended the value of the dollar has remained al most stable for more than two years. Cost of living has been stabilized. "Wages and employment at record high." Ellsworth said many parts of President Eisenhower's legisla tive program were blocked in the "political opposition cross currents." An example, he said, was the long-range highway program Avhich was "mauled, mangled ?nd disfigured" by the Demo crats. A Democratic substitute, he said, was rejected by a two-to-one vote" by a disgusted House of Representatives." O Woman Becomes Indian (G'Ver Through Accident L'Anse, Mich.

German City Provides Pleasant Surprises For Terry Brereton (Editor's Note: Terry Brere ton of Medford is now n Eur ope as a delegate lo an inter national YMCA meeting. This is another in a series of arti cles he is writing about his experiences for The Mail Tribune). By TERRY BRERETON We left Amsterdam for Han nover, Germany, on July 20, by train. We expected our train ride to be no different than any others, but when we arrived at the last station before crossing the border, something very un expected happened. We had to unload every piece of our lug gage as fast as possible. Nobody knew why. When we were all on the plat form, surrounded by our bag gage, we found out that we had gotten on the wrong car. There was only one car in the train that was going to Hannover, and we had gotten on the wrong one. We had to wait 20 minutes for the right train to come. We finally got on the right train, and nothing else happen ed the rest of the trip. When we arrived in Hannov er, we were met by our guides. They led us. to our bus and we went to a very nice, outdoor res taurant. We were served a very big ice cream dish, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. By the way, the German word for essary to save her life. She re ceived the same blood she had donated. Dr. John Strobe said the coin cidence was "decidedly rare." PREPARE YOUR HOUSE PHONE 2-4564 Is Sunday, August 21, 1955 ice cream is eis , pronounced "ice." After we had been taken to our hotel, and had washed up, we went on a short tour of Han nover. Before I had seen some of Germany, I was a little reluc tant to go, because in my mind Germany was a war-torn( mili tary controlled, disrupted coun try. Subsequently I expected our accomodations to be in old tumbled-down buildings, over ridden with fleas, cockroaches and bedbugs, but when I saw Hannover, my opinion of the country was completely chang ed. During the years since World War II, Germany has done won ders. She has taken away the rubble, torn down the useless structures and built some of the most modern cities I have ever seen. Hannover is one of the great est examples of this kind of work. During the war she was 80 per cent destroyed. During one air raid, 40,000 people were killed. Today when you travel through the city, you can see very little evidence of this de struction. Koln is another example of the war. Today Koln has a pop ulation of around 700,000. Dur ing the war 20,000 people were killed and the city was 79 per cent destroyed. St. Paul's Cath edral, which is 700 years old, was hit by a total of 14 bombs and nineteen shells. Koln still has quite a few signs left show ing the destruction, but she has done a lot of reconstruction. On the outskirts of the city there are several peculiar-looking hills. The hills were made by the dumping of rubble. It is hard to notice the waste now, be cause the hidls are grown over with grass and shrubs. Compares Two Nations When comparing England and Germany, we got to wondering why Germany has done so much to rebuild the damage and Eng land has done so little. We discovered that England is one of the more powerful na tions of the world and that she wants to keep that power. In order to do this she 'has to give more money to the world or ganizations to which she be longs. Germany, being a weaker nation, does not have to give as much and can put what she has into reconstruction. When I look at the damage which war has caused it makes me sick to remember that our country did a lot of this dam age. Let us pray that we never have to fight another war. I want to thank everyone at home for making it possible for me to come over here and see what Europe is actually like.

What does your wife do with her spare time? I hope she has a hobby that will keep her out of mischief. Has she any talent for song writing? Dor othy Knight, lyric writer, pro fessionally known as Dorothy Dodd, is a 33 year old house wife, the mother of two children. She wrote the lyrics for the hit song, "Granada." This song alone will probably net her a quarter of a million dollars in royalties during her lifetime. Get It Right It is still being said by per sons who should know better that Elinor Glyn "invented" the term "it." This term was origin ated by Rudyard Kipling in a short story titled, "Mrs. Bat hurst." When Mrs. Glyn said to Aileen Pringle "You have it," she was merely quoting Kipling. The remark was made when Mrs. Glyn picked Aileen to star in the film version of, "Three Weeks." Passing By Eugene Mori, highly versatile man of business.

(U.R) A nine-man General Court Martial board Friday found 1st Lt. Jef ferson D. Erwin, 38, Blanchard, Okla., innocent of all charges of collaborating with the enemy while he was a prisoner of war in North Korea. The board went out at 2:10 p.m. and returned its verdict at 4:25 p.m. Trial counsel Lt. Col. Glen R. Bowen said Erwin's acquittal "wipes the record clean." No fur ther action, he presumed, would be taken against Erwin. No Comment The defense counsel, Lt. Col. Leslie Dixon, would not com ment directly on the possible ef fect of the decision on pending collaboration trials. He did say, however, he did not think the other cases would be greatly af fected. Throughout the 15-day trial general opinion at Fort Lewis seemed to side with the defend ant, especially after defense testimony which exposed condi tions at prisoner of war camps in North Korea and the treat ment given United Nations POWs by the Chinese and North Korean Communists. More than 40 witnesses testi fied during the trial. Gerlinger Homage Planned Thursday Salem (U.R) Foresters, lumbermen, conservationists and public leaders will meet at the Black Rock Guard station in Polk county next . Thursday to pay homage to the late George T. Gerlinger. Albert Powers, member of the State Board of Forestry, will dedicate the 1000-acre forest as the George T. Gerlinger State Experimental Forest. Gerlinger was a member of the State Board of Forestry for 30 years and was instrumental in passage of the Oregon Forest Conservation act, in initiating state forest research, and he took an active part in the tree farm movement. The state forest will be set aside as a laboratory In which to determine the effect of thin nings on a 40-year-old stand of Douglas fir and whether the thinnings can be manufactured into lumber at a profit.

If he does he is in danger of involving himself and his com pany in a legal action. However, the decision of the court may de pend on the size of the bill pre sented. In a recent case, a driver unable to change a $5 bill re fused to let the passenger ride. The company was sued by the passenger, who won the case and was awarded $1,000 damages. The judge said the bus driver should have had change for $5. Get Ready to Go Back g-vFROM THE . . .

These disclosures pertaining to the so-called breeders reactors were another step towards inter national " tiarnessmg or atomic power for peace. They com manded close attention from the delegates to the two-week U.N. atoms-for-peace conference which ended Saturday. Scientists here regard the breeder reactors as one of the most dramatic and important de velopments of the atomic age. Reports on progress in this field have led U.S. officials to warn that further American help in a peaceful atomic energy program might lead to construction of A bombs by other nations. Vital Information . American researchers released vital information on the new re actors, nevertheless. Floyd L. Culler Jr., of Oak Ridge, Tenn., national laboratory, led the re ports with a survey of chemical development work performed by most of the major atomic energy groups in the United States on the problems of radiochemical processing. Culler described the tech- ANOTHER HARVARD ELIOT Cambridge,' Mass. (U.R) The namesake grandson of the late Dr. Charles W.

THE FOOT. niques for removing atomic fuel such as uranium and pluto nium from burned-out reactors so it can be re-used. Another Oak Ridge scientist. Dr. Alam T. Gresky, detailed a previously secret process used for extracting fresh fuel from one of the latest tye of reactors. Gresky . told how to remove U-233, a powerful fuel, . from thorium, a new atomic material iar more common in the earth than uranium. He said thorium is significant to the future of economic nuclear production of electrical energy since it may make possible the simultaneous production of power and fuel. Gresky said the fuel extracted from the reactor can be put back in again and again to keep the reactor working. Another Method Dr. Harold M. Feder, of Ar gonne National Laboratories in Chicago, described another method of extraction along the lines of steel refining. He said the metal is converted back into compounds resembling its ori ginal ores. Newly developed metallurgical methods and re LOCKER; (BEEF YOUNG AND TENDER Only 35c lb.

A. F. Voigt, of Ames Labora tory at Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, described still a third method of extraction. This one uses molten metals to sluice away the ashes or waste pro duced in a reactor.
