TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Thursday, September 8, I9S5
Springfield Man Named Chairman
Of State Water Resources Board
Salem (U.R) H. E. Maxey of
Springfield, active for 27 years
in general planning and promo
tion of Willamette Basin pro
jects, was chosen chairman of
the newly created Water Re
sources Board to serve during
the organizational period of the
next two months.
LeC. (Jack) Binford of Port
land, past president of the Ore
gon division of Izaak Walton
League, was named vice chair
man and Don Lane of Portland,
who served as secretary of the
Interim Committee on Water
Resources, was named secretary.
Binford and Lane also were
elected for the two months peri
od. Each Actively Interested
The seven members of the
Board, created by the 1955 Leg
islature, had not met each other
before yesterday's first meeting
of the board, although each is
actively interested in conserva
tion of water resources.
Binford sounded the feeling
of all the members when he said
the legislature had handed the
board the biggsst job ever given
such a group "on an uncharged
area of activity."
The board will hold hearings
throughout the state, after which
Revenue Men Catch Many Bootleggers
o Washington (U.R) You may
not realize it, but those reve
nooers of the roaring twenties
are nearly as busy now as in
prohibition days.
The Internal Revenue Service
reports that during the 11
months ending with May 11,418
sfills were seized, an increase
of 1,003 over the same period
aoyear earlier. During that time
9,582 arrests were made, up al
most 1,000 over the same period
in 1954.
An Internal Revenue official
Antique Phone Said
'Sfiil Good As New'.
Boston (U.R) Back in 1892,
just 16 years after Alexander
Graham Bell invented the tele
phone one block away, a tele-
phonewas installed in the city
clerk's office at City Hall.
A newspaper account of the in
stallation read:
"This telephone is an out
standing attraction for City Hall
visitors and employees who stand
long periods of time studying
Mr. Bell's invention. It is expect
ed the telephone will be used for
many years to come." .
Having survived 21 mayoralty
administrations, this old-fashioned
wall telephone is still do
ing business at the same old
s'tano? City officials have stead
fastly rejected telephone com
pany offers to replace it with a
modern instrument.
It's estimated that more than
4,000,600 calls have been made
over the telephone during the
past 63 years. City workers re
fer to the phone affectionately as
"Old 94," its extension number.
City Clerk Wilfred J. Doyle
Bis no idea of replacing the an
tique telephone.
"Why," he said, "it's still as
good as new."
i
credits the increase to better
enforcement. There were 10,863
agents on duty May 21, com
pared with 10,605 the year be
fore.
However, the Distilled Spirits
Institute here contends that
bootlegging is profitable once
again and consequently more of
it goes on.
There is a $10.50 federal tax
on each 100-proof gallon of
whiskey. When prohibition end
ed in 1933 the first tax levied
on alcohol was $2.20 per 100
proof gallon.
Stills Bloom Everywhere
Seizures by federal agents,
which rose to 6,694,800 gallons
of mash in the 11 months end
ing May 31, were 75 to 80 per
cent in the southeastern states,
the revenue official said, though
big hauls have been made in
northern and midwestern cities.
The Institute spokesman said
that bootlegging outside the
southeast is also on a large scale.
Stills of 500 to 2,000 gallons
daily capacity, he said, have
been seized. The larger stills, he
said, cost from $75,000 to $100,
000. The Internal Revenue Service
official said that the 11-month
period ending May 31 "was one
of the largest" since prohibition
from the standpoint of stills
smashed and arrests made. Dur
ing prohibition seizures ran as
high as 23,000 stills annually,
the Institute reported. This fig
ure does not include scattered
seizures by local officials.
it will formulate and outline pol
icies governing Oregon's water
resources and issue a statement
of regulations.
Lewis A. Stanley, state engi
neer and one of the members of
the advisory committee, told the
board it would not be long be
fore some applications for hy
dro-electric permits would be
submitted to the board for its
consideration.

Milwaukee Hastens
Preventive Plan as
Polio Epidemic Rages
Milwaukee, Wis. U.R) Mil
waukee county authorities, fight
ing the second polio epidemic
in a major; American .cuy xnis
year, today rushed plans to give
emergency shots of gamma glob
ulin to about 100,000 children.
The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis announced
late yesterday that polio had
reached epidemic proportions in
Milwaukee.
It sent 700,000 shots of gamma
globulin, a temporary polio pre
ventive, to be used in protect
ing children in the city of Mil
waukee and its suburbs.
Milwaukee Health Officer E
R. Krumbiegel, who had request
ed the kamma globulin, said
600,000 of the shots would be
used to inoculate about 89,000
children between the ages of
one and nine in Milwaukee. The
remaining 100,000 shots will go
to suburban children.
School Postponed
The starting date for the mass
inoculation program was not set.
But the opening of the first to
seventh grades of public and
parochial schools, scheduled yes
terday, has already been post
poned. The Milwaukee polio outbreak
built up during the record Aug
ust heat wave and has already
claimed 39 lives in the county.
There have been 402 polio cases,
surpassing a 1951: record, and
the polio rate in Wisconsin as a
whole is 357 per cent higher
than last year.
Milwaukee is the second big
city to be afflicted by a major
polio outbreak this summer.
Earlier, emergency tactics were
used to fight a polio outbreak
Ecuador Tells of
Peru Invasion Plan
Washington (U.R) Ecuador
told the Council of the Organiz
ation of American States today it
is facing "imminent invasion"
from Peru.
Ecuadorean -Ambassador Jose
R. Chiriboga told a council meet
ing that thousands of Peruvian
troops are poised on the frontiers
ready to march into his country.
"Ecuador will make no ag
gressive gesture," he said in a
speech. "But if called upon we
will defend our country up to
the last man."
He said he was speaking to
alert all the Americas to the
existing situation and that he is
hopefui that a four-nation Bor
der Commission already in ex
istence will act promptly to pre
vent an armed clash, v ,
The commission, established in
Rio de Janeiro in 1942, is com
posed of representatives - of the
United States, Brazil, Argentina
and Chile. - .
in Boston
The Wisconsin city was named,
an epidemic area when K.rum
biegel reported that polio cases
had reached a rate of 37 per
100,000 residents. The infantile
paralysis foundation said a 20
per 100,000 rate is counted as
an epidemic.
Earlier this summer, ' Krum
biegei balked at allowing mass
inoculations of Salk polio vac
cine among Milwaukee young
sters. Krumbiegel blocked the mass
inoculations when some children
elsewhere in the nation became
ill with polio after receiving
inoculations of vaccine made by
the Cutter Laboratories of
Berkeley, Calif.
Polio was not running at a
high rate in Milwaukee or the
rest of Wisconsin at the time.
But since then, the disease rate
has jumped in the state's' south
ern and eastern sections. .
Government OKs
Guaranteed Wage
Plan in Industry
Washington U.R) The gov
ernment gave an initial okay
today to the so-called "guaran
teed wage" plans set up in the
auto and can industries this year.
Secretary of Labor James B.
Mitchell announced that depart
ment lawyers have ruled that
the five cents an hour contribu
tions made by the Ford Motor
Co. to its employment compensa
tion fund will not be counted as
part of the base pay under the
federal fair labor standards act.
Could Have Killed Plan
If the ruling had gone the
other way, it could have killed
the Ford plan and similar plans
The Ford contract with the CIO
United Auto Workers was con
ditional upon the department
ruling that the- contribution
would not be counted as wages.
Mitchell said the new ruling
is consistent with past rulings
on comparable matters. He said
Ford asked for a new statement,
and other industries will get the
same answer if they ask.
Question Studied
Mitchell told a news confer
ence he still is studying the
Question of advising states to
change present laws which make
the lay-off pay plans illegal. An
other Question, relating to the
taxability of the company con.
tributions, is also still pending.
Mitchell declined an opinion
as to whether the government
believes guaranteed wage plans
are good or bad. He said they
are "strictly a bargaining mat
ter between companies and
unions in particular industries.'
Many Episcopal
Clergymen Said
To Be Unequipped
Honolulu (U.R) Episcopal
Bishop Horace Donegan of New
York declared yesterday that
many Episcopal clergymen were
"theologically" and "emotion
ally unequipped" to deal with i
women church workers.
The bishop noted churchmen
too often treated women work
ers like "second or third class
citizens."
His remarks were greeted with
loud applause by many of the
women attending the joint ses
sion of the 58th general conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
Church meeting here.
Many Unequipped
"At 'present we train women
for work in the church knowing
more than likely they will be
treated as second or third class
citizens when thev undertake
their work'" he said.
"An alarming percentage of
our clergy are theologically as
well as emotionally unequipped
to work with women a fact
which may well indicate inade
quacy in other areas."
Presiding Bishop Henry Knox
Sherrill suggested the church
should use money donated1 to
mite boxes by children for a
special project instead of adding
it to the general fund.
"We should be ashamed to take
financial offerings of children,"
Sherrill said. "We should choese
a project realisticallv suDDorted
by the children. They have long
been under the impression their
offerings went to a special proj
ect, but instead it has always
gone into the general fund."
Last year 900,000 mite boxes
were distributed among church
children to collect $600,000 of
their allowance money contrib
uted during Lent.
