EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, November 29, 1953 Caudle To Tell Jury of Dealing With Schwimmer St. Louis (U.R) T. Lamar Caudle goes before a federal Grand Jury today for the third time to testify on his dealings with Harry I. Schwimmer, a Kansas, City attorney under in dictment for perjury. Caudle, former head of the "Justice Department Tax Divis ion, said yesterday Schwimmer deeded him $750 in oil royalties in return for a stock market tip. He r'-sisted the royalties were deeded to him without his know ledge, after Schwimmer made a large sum on the stock tip. Terribly Worried "I was terribly worried about it horrified," Caudle told news men after spending the after noon with the Grand Jury. "I begged him to prepare a deed to reti n the royalties." Caudle said the royalties deeded to him were returned to Schwimmer through a new deed which was quickly drawn up. A few hours before Caudle ap peared before the Grand Jury yesterday Schwimmer appeared in the U.S. District Court and pleaded innocent to charges of perjury. An indictment charged that he testified falsely that a $10,000 fund he received from his client, Irving Sachs, a shoe broker, was a legal fee. The government charged the fund was to be used to "bribe public officials." Nine of 10 matchbooks in the U. S. are given away rather than sold outright.

U.S. Children Physically Unfit, Says Institute Director By ELIN LAKE United Press Correspondent fs'ew York 'U.R; One fem inine authority says that unless we build up our physical fitness we soon will be in sad shape literally. Bonnie Prudden, director of the Institute for Physical Fit ness, recently reported to the White House on the results of extensive tests she had made of fitness of children in this coun try and Europe. She said the study involved six basic muscle tests and was used to show the difference be tween children who are ill and those who are healthy enough to participate in average daily chores. Blames Parents Only eight and one-half per cent of the European youngsters failed the tests; more than 56 per cent of the children in this country flunked. Miss Prudden, who away from her professional life is Mrs. Ruth Hirschland and the mother of two, blames parents for letting children grow up without muscle. "Parents are forever shouting 'no, no,' when a child wants to climb a tree, ride a horse or show normal interest in other active sports." she said. "From the very beginning, children are shoved into play pens, ridden around in super-market carts, and when they reach school age, are taken to class in a bus," she complained. She said by the time today's child is three, he's used to pas sive recreation. "And when children should be hiking or ice-skating, they are sitting in the living room watch ing a baseball game on televis ion." she said. She called the school bus the child's "worst enemy." Back in the "gold old days" of exercise, children walked to school and grew up into healthier specimens for it, she said. Miss Prudden said European children may be healthier than American ones, because they are less pampered. "In Germany or England," she said, "a child is helping his mother carry groceries home by the time he is two or three. "There's none of this business of stuffing groceries in Junior's stroller so he can ride back from the market in comfort." She quoted one military man as saying that during the Korean war, American soldiers "died like flies" on "death marches," while European and Asiatic pris oners survived because they had been trained for endurance from childhood. "It is better for a healthy child to get a broken arm from climb ing a tree than for his mother to keep him from exercising." she said. Fishing Boat Said Missing Several Days Seattle (U.R) A 47-foot fish boat, the Wilma S., has been missing since last Thursday when it left Blaine, Wash., en route to Westport, the Coast Guard reported today. Two persons, Alex Pepin of Westport and Arvid Fakari, ad dress unknown, were aboard the boat when it left Blaine, the Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard said it has run harbor checks in an effort to find the boat and is using planes and boats in a search for the missing vessel. Californians To Tell Wafer Views Washington (U.R) , Rep. Glenard P. Lipscomb (R-Calif.) said today Californians h.ave been invited to express their views at congressional hearings on the Hoover Commission's wa ter resources and power recom mendations. A House Government Opera tions Subcommittee of which Lipscomb is a member is sched uled to hold hearings in Los Angeles Dec. 7 and 8. Lipscomb said investigations have been sent to California con gressmen, members of Assembly and Senate, and officials of the state government, Los Angeles county and the City of Los An geles. The subcommittee also has scheduled hearings in Denver to day and tomorrow; Lewiston, Idaho, Friday; Portland Monday and Tuesday; and Austin, Tex., Dec. 12. Bullion Dealers Cut Silver Price New York (U.R) Handy & Harmon, bullion dealers, today cut the price of silver one cent to 90 cents a fine ounce, the low est price in five months. This is the second reduction in two days and brings the price of the white metal to its lowest level since June 29 when it also held at 90 cents. Yesterday, Handy & Garman cut the price b cent and said the reduction reflected a season al decline in demand from the arts and silverware .industry after substantial buying in recent months in preparation for the Christmas holiday season. An other factor, they said, is a lack of desire on the part of silver producers to accumulate the met al at high levels.

Southern Oregon's Furniture Showplace, Pacific Highway North of Big Y Phone 2-8618 Argentine President Expected To Return La Prensa To Owners Buenos Aires U.P.) Presi dent Pedro E. Aramburu is ex pected to issue today a formal decree-law returning the news paper La Prensa to its rightful owners and correcting an "out rage perpetrated by ousted dic tator Juan D. Peron. Aramburu told a press con ference Monday night his gov ernment had decided to return the world - famous newspaper which was confiscated in 1951 by the Peron regime and that details would be made public in a formal decree. Authoritative sources said that Aramburu already had signed the decree-law and that it was being copied for distribution, thus ending one of the greatest cases involving freedom of the press and one that brought world-wide protests! It was un understood the action was based on the fact Peron's seizure of the newspaper was unconstitutional. "The government has resolved the situation of the daily La Prensa," Aramburu told the press conference: "By doing it, it does no more than to repair the outrage against this - great newspaper. The details will be known in a decree to be issued by the executive power." Editor To Return Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz, for mer editor and publisher of La Prensa, hailed Aramburu's an nouncement as "wonderful news." Gainza Paz was prepar ing to leave New York by plane Wednesday afternoon and re turn to Buenos Aires some time Thursday. Aramburu's press conference was the first he has held since he took office two weeks ago. He did not submit to questioning but brought up the subject of La Prensa himself in a ten-minute speech. The president was flanked by Vice-President Isaac Rojas and his press secretary, Adolfo La nus, formerly an editorial writ er for La Prensa. Aramburu said his govern ment is not worried about any internal problems because it has the backing of the armed forces Rra7.il Droduces about one-half of the world's supply of coffee. Michigan's first state fish hatchery was built in 1873. whose goals and ideals are the same as those of the Argentine people-democracy. He said the economic situa tion was grim but not hopeless. Became Union Organ La Prensa was seized by the Peron government on Jan. 26, 1951. It became the official or gan of the CGT which with a claimed membership of six mil lion was the principal support of the Peronista regime. Even before 1951 Peron had acted against La Prensa, a fear less foe of his regime. An army decree closed it for five days in 1944. On Jan. 26, 1951, the paper was prepared as usual but news vendors refused to handle it on orders of the Peron govern ment. Hoodlums entered the plant. Loyal employees tried to publish anyway and one was killed in a battle with strong arm men. Peron's government announc ed on March 5 a federal judge had charged Gainza Paz with violation of security laws, and the formal seizure came on March 20. Later congress "au thorized" the seizure. Commission Recommends Street Line Change A recommendation to change a street line in Verde Hills was voted at a special meeting of the Medford Planning commis sion yesterday in the city hall. The recommendation, which will be forwarded to the city council, proposes to change a corner radius in Verde Hills to conform with existing street lines on the other corners of the intersection.
