Salvation Army
Aids Unfortunate;
Assisted by UMC
(Editor's note: This is another
in a series of brief articles
dealing with the agencies
which are benefitted from con
tributions to the United Med
ford Crusade. The material is
furnished by the agencies
themielrei.)
The helping hand extended to
the unfortunate by the Salvation
Army is made possible through
contributions to the United Med-
ford Crusade.
Aid is refused to no one and
the Salvation Army is prepared
for any emergency. The red
shield has become a symbol of
help wherever it is seen. It was
such a symbol to the mother and
father with nine children who
turned to it when they had run
out of funds on the last of their
journey to California. The Salva
tion Army provided them with
food, shelter and fuel for the car.
It was such a symbol to the
family traveling toward Med-
ford who could not reach the
city limits in time for the moth
er to give birth to her childJ The
- Salvation Army gave complete
s Care to the entire family for two
i weeks.'
k The problems are as varied
as humanity and extend even
into supervision and distribution
of money for these families need
ing financial guidance. -

Walls Dismissal
Motion Turned Do wn
Portland (U.R)U. S. District
Judge Gus J. Solomon yester
day denied a defense motion for
dismissal of an indictment
charging Wilbur Walls, 61, Port
land, of illegal possession of gold
bricks valued at $5000.
Attorney Donald Walter peti
tioned for dismissal on the
ground that the trial had been
delayed for too long a time.
Walls was indicted more than a
year ago.
Judge Solomon, in issuing the
denial, said the delay was
caused by the slaying of Walls'
former attorney, Oliver Kermit
Smith, last April. Walls' trial
date is Nov. 8.
former Medford cab driver
Woodrow Wilson Atwood, 42,
was given three years probation
after pleading guilty to a similar
charge. Stephen Crippen, Med
' ford, included in the same in
dictment, was acquitted by a
federal court jury. Walls former
ly resided in Ashland.
SENATORS SILENT Democratic Senators John L. Mc
Clellan, Ark. (right), and John Stennis, Miss, (center),
returned to Washington aboard regularly scheduled Mili
tary Transport Service plane and said tartly the Defense
Department will have to explain statements that a special
plush plane had been sent at their request to Europe to
pick them up.
Defense Department
Apologizes To Solons
Over Plane Request
Washington (U.R) Two
Democratic -senators today ac
cepted the Defense Department's
apology for erroneously report
ing that they requested special
plush air transportation from
Europe. , i '
Sens. John L. McClellan (D
Ark.), and John G. Stennis (D
Miss.), said in separate state
ments that, barring further de
velopments, the highly public
ized incident is closed.
Public Apology
Last night the department.
publicly apologized for assert
ing that the senators requested
a special plane to fly them home
from Spain at a cost of $10,000.
At the same time the Air Force
announced it was Sen. Dennis
Chavez (D-NM), the third sen
ator involved in the "contro
ersy. "A review of this matter," the
department said, "has establish
ed tne fact that Sens. McClellan
and Stennis did not request, nor
were they made aware that the
Air Force planned to fly special
mission aircraft to Madrid for
their return." .'. .
"It is regretted that the inci
dent caused embarrassment to
the senators," the statement said.
Requested by Escort
The department subsequently
said it checked with Col. Ralph
J. Watson, military escort offi
er for the senatorial group. Ac
cording to the department, it
was Watson who requested the
special planes, apparently with
out consulting the senators
themselves.
cer for the senatorial group. Ac
partment's apology, commented
that "it was certainly the least
they should have done to
straighten it out."
Stennis said, "I was sure that
they would make such a state
ment when they got the facts.
We were shocked and greatly
surprised. I appreciate their
statement after developing the
full details."

On The Side
By E. V. Durling
Tuesday, October 25, 1955
(Distributed by King Ftttura Syndicate. Inc.)
The sale of wives is still in ef
fect in Nigeria. Recently there
have been complaints from bach
elors about the high cost of wives
there. They said they couldn't
get enough money in hand to
buy a wife. So now wives are
being .sold on the installment
plan. The total price for a
Nigerian wife is about - $77: I
don't know what the down pay
ment is.
Culinary Crime
On a restaurant menu I saw
listed "cream scallops." Sounds
like a horrible dish. The man
who first thought it up should
be styled a culinary criminal.
Only way to serve scallops prop
erly is fried and plain.
Gel It Right
Does the Bible condemn the
wearing of slacks by women? It
is repeatedly said by persons
who should know better that
such is the case. In attempting to
prove their contention they
quote Deuteronomy 22:5 "The
woman shall not wear that which
pertaineth unto a man." The
slacks worn by women are es
pecially made for women. They
are distinctly female attire. So,
sir, if your wife wears slacks
assure her it is not a sin. Inci
dentally, I have been accused of
being . against women wearing
slacks. That's not so. I have fre
quently said that women having
figures like Katharine Hepburn
should wear slacks. At the
proper times and places, of
course.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. The
British national game is soccer.
I say that an American team
once beat Britain's best soccer
team. Right? A. Quite right, sir.
In 1950, in the Soccer World
Series games, held at Bilo Hori
zonte, Brazil, an American soc
cer team gave the British team
a bad beating . . . Q. I say that
no son, on reaching full growth,
is ever shorter than his mother.
Do you dispute this? Can you
name a man who is shorter than
his mother? Want to bet a stogie?
A. I think Jack Westrope, the
jockey, is shorter than his moth
er. Over There
United States soldiers sta
tioned in Great Britain continue
to express great admiration for
English girls and to frankly say
they prefer them as companions
and wives to American girls.
One G. I. Joe recently said with
much enthusiasm: "The English
girls are the best kissers. They
hang onto each kiss as if it was
their first or was going to be
their last." -
Business Woman
The shrewdest business wom
an of all times. So I note Hetty
Green referred to. That's non
sense. There have been many
greater business women than she
was. In fact, I could name quite
a few now living who are much
smarter in handling business
deals than Hetty was. The wom
en I have in mind started "with
nothing but their ability. Hetty
Green's father left her $6,000,
000. An aunt left her the income
of a million dollars. Hetty also
married a millionaire. No won
der she was in possession of so
much coin of the realm. She
knew how to hold on to a dollar,
but was no miracle woman of
the business world.
Ragtime
Among the theatrical produc
tions scheduled for presentation
on Broadway in the near future
are two based on the history of
jazz. Somebody should also do a
musical on the history of rag
time. They could start off with
an extremely picturesque back
ground. That of the Maple Leaf
Club in Sedalia, Mo. That was
the place which inspired Scott
Joplin to write that perennial hit
tune titled "The Maple Leaf
Rag.'
Correction
"You say Los Angeles carpen
ters earn $116 a week," writes a
feminine reader. "That is wrong.
My daddy is a carpenter in Los
Angeles and he only earns
$114.40 a week. Send me a stogie
carefully wrapped by return air
mail and I will give it to my
Daddy."
Two Air Force Men
