Friday as men he would like to see as presidential can didates if President Eisenhower decides not to seek reelection next year. Ellsworth said Secretary of Treasury George Humphrey and Massachusetts' Gov. Christian Herter both are able administra tors and capable of handling the president's responsibility. H e pointed out, however, that neith er is well-known nationally. No Decision Yet Ellsworth stressed that Presi dent Eisenhower "has yet to make a decision," and if he indi cates he will seek reelection, the congressman said, "that's fine." There are several possibilities for the presidency, he said, but named only Humphrey and Gov ernor Herter. Ellsworth spoke at a meeting of the Jackson County Young Republican club at the Medford hotel Friday noon. The congressman said he would like to see the method of vice-presidential selection chang ed. The president's running mate, he pointed out, is virtually appointed under present proced ure, but Ellsworth said he be lieves the vice-presidential can didate should be nominated by convention delegates' votes. Cites Division Ellsworth said, in reference to world tensions and on prevent ing another world war, that in the future world divisions will be between "Christianity and Communism." He pointed .out that 90 per cent of the world's population has as it's spiritual belief a central core of religion almost identical to that in this country. He said their is "no common denominator" . in . government, economics and social aspects be tween nations, but there is a common denominator in religion. Future generations, he said, will be faced with bringing world peace through the only common denominator, and that young people today will serve as an influence pn future gen erations. .. Ellsworth reviewed the last session of Congress and what might be expected in the next session. He pointed out the last session was not productive be cause of a Republican adminis tration and Democratic congress. He mentioned the minimum wage law, stating it was about the only thing accomplished in the last session. He pointed out the original bill called for a minimum wage of 90 cents, but the "opposition" agreed only on $1 minimum wage. Ellsworth said the 90-cent minimum wage was high enough to give a sub stantial increase. The highway bill, he said, was not passed because the public works committee wrote the tax bill, resulting in too many loop holes. He predicted that the high way bill would be adopted in the next session. Among other items which probably will come up at the next session, Ellsworth said, are carnival are progressing on schedule, with the selling of tickets by the four queen cand idates speeding up as time draws close for the "deciding day" for which one will be reigning queen of the carnival. This Monday immunization shots for small pox and dip theria (either booster or first shots) will be available to grade and high school students under the direction Jackson county health department. Ray Wilson's sister, Mrs. Lulu Bishop, Ashland, spent the past week with the Wilson's. Sunday they enjoyed a family dinner with the Wilsons', daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mc Knight, Lozier Lane", Medford, attended. public housing, some type of aid for school room construction, and an attempt to balance the national budget. Opposes Housing Ellswerth said he is opposed to public housing on the basis that it is not fair and equitable. He pointed out that under the plan, people who cannot afford housing would purchase houses for about 10 per cent of the ac tual cost. Construction would be financed by taxpayers' money. He said federal aid to schools should be in the form of assist ance only, and "not to support the schools." The government should lend commiunities credit to construct schools. The congressman predicted an attempt to balance the budget and a reduction of taxes. He stressed the point that such an attempt should be made only if it does not "hurt the budget sit uation." Power Discussed In referring to public power, Ellsworth said any group of citi zens or corporations may apply to the power commission for a license to construct a dam and sell power. He said "the govern ment should not be in business" if it is not absolutely necessary. The purpose of government, he said, is to keep order and to do "collectively what can not be done as individuals." He said if private corporations are able to furnish hydroelectric power, then corporations should do.so.

Lawton, Wash., escaped from the Linn county jail at Al bany about 10 p.m. Friday, but were captured a few hours later by a Corvallis police officer. The soldiers were arrested about 6:15 a.m. Saturday by Of ficer Roger C. Anderson Sr., two miles east of Corvallis in Linn county. Anderson said he fired a shot in the air to stop the escapees from fleeing across a field. The trio were spotted by Sammy Coons, a railroad man, who knew the soldiers were on the loose because his train had been searched a short time earlier. Coons notified Anderson who had been stationed at the Willamette river bridge to watch for the escapees. They took off after the sol diers and saw them hiking down the highway. As soon as the soldiers saw the officer they started to flee across a field, but Anderson said his shot stopped them dead. They were identified as James Charles Taylor, 18, and his brother, David Ira Taylor, 17, of Albany and James Edwin Kelso, 18. of Missoula, Mont. They were turned over to Linn County Sheriff George Miller.

The board said gamma globu lin is a part of human blood that contains disease - fighting anti bodies, which confer immunity quickly. . Gamma globulin, if given af ter exposure to a virus disease, may prevent the disease or modi fy its severity.
