MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
Bitter Winter Weather Shoves Eastern States Farther Into Deep Freeze
"Oregon Education Meeting Delegates Report on Sessions
Portland (U.R) Three Ore-
gonians who attended the recent
White House conference on edu
cation told the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce yesterday that
federal aid to education was5 the
big issue and that it still was
unresolved.
Eugene Marsh of McMinn
ville, chairman of the Oregon
delegation, said the eonference
approved the principle of fed
eral aid for school construction
without federal control to states
which don't have enough finan
cial resources for their own
schools. He sjd delegates were
about evenly aivided on wheth
er federal aid should be given
for school operation.
Federal Aid Unresolved
Marsh said that still unje
solvec was the question of
whether federal aid should be
given to all states on the basis
of so much money per school
child or whether aid should be
only to those who cannot main
tain proper standards otherwise.
Another delegate, Hubert
Leonard of Portland, said "No
state has demonstrated its finan
cial inability to provide good
I education but some states have
shown they lack the political de
termination." Leonard is chair
man of the Portland chamber's
education committee.
Children, Teachers
Rescued From Island
London (U.P.) Rescuers pull
ed 120 school children and their
teachers off a rocky island in
the North Sea today after their
ship ran aground in a thick fog
off Germany.
The rescue was he most dra
matic incident thus far in the
first icy grip of winter.
Scandinavia was swept by
blizzards. Many small villages
were isolated by snow, and at
least 10 persons were reported
dead in Norway and Sweden.
The rescued youngsters and
their teachers had completed a
four-week vacation on the North
Sea's Langeoog Island. They
were en route to Bensersiel, a
small Frisian port about 30 miles
east of the Dutch border, when
their ship grounded.
Miss Martha Shull, the other
delegate, said the conference did
not spend its time voting on
resolutions but tapped grass
roots opinion on education and
tried to reawaken interest in
education matters.
Neuberger Lauds
'Christmas Spirit'
Portland (U.R) Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) told
the Portland Americanization
Council yesterday that the "deed
of Harry Holt of Creswell, Ore.,
more truly and nobly symbol
izes the Christmas spirit than a
million bargain sales and com
mercial offerings."
The Oregon Democrat was re
ferring to the adoption by the
Holt family of eight Korean war
orphans. He sponsored a bill in
Congress to permit immigration
of the children.
Almost 80 per cent of the pop
ulation of Mindanao, next in size
to Luzon among the Philippine
island chain, are of the Moslem
faith.

Rash of Fires
From Overheated
Stoves Reported
By UNITED PRESS
A bone-chilling cold wave
shoved the East farther into a
deep freeze today, but relented
a little in the Midwest.
Temperatures were still well
below zero in the North Central
states, although Bemidji, Minn.,
"warmed up" from 45 below to
11 below.' In other midlands
areas, forecasters predicted the
mercury would struggle into the
10s and 20s.
In the east, however, cold
wave warnings were posted for
New York and Pennsylvania.
And the Pacific Northwest
weathered another kind of win
try blast hurricane rains and
blizzards which left flood dan
gers in their .wake.
With winter officially two
days away, ijae temperature was
below freezing early today from
northern North Carolina to south
ern Arkansas, northern Texas,
and across the Western plains.
Low temperatures included 13
below at both International Falls
and Redwood Falls in Minnesota
and a frosty 11 above at Dalhart,
Tex.
Rash of Fires
A rash of disastrous fires,
many of them caused by over
heated stoves, accompanied the
bitter cold.
At Springfield, O., an explod
ing oil stove touched off a blaze
which killed five children and
the mother of two of the vic
tims. Another fire burned down
four buildings on the main street
of Appleton, Wis., early today
and the five-below cold was so
intense that water changed to
ice almost as soon as it left the
firemen's hoses.
The cold was also blamed for
a mounting list of deaths by ex
posure and exhaustion. One of
the latest victims was a Belmont,
Wis., truck driver whose body
was discovered frozen in a foot
and a half of creek water.
Elsewhere, Americans showed
widely-varying reactions to the
weather.
At Toledo, O., a judge loaned
a freed prisoner his spare over
coat when he discovered that
the man had entered prison with
only a summer-weight suit on
his back and the temperature
was currently 15 above.
Nudists Ignore Weather
A Kansas Nudist club applied
for a state charter while the
mercury read three above at
Topeka and a railroad conductor
refused to pass up his daily swim
in Lake Michigan at Chicago,
even though the temperature
was nine above.
To the west, forecasters prom
ised that a double blast of tor
rential rains and gale-force
winds would abate. But the San
Francisco area was still pounded
by a terrific downpour, accom
panied by rattling gusts of
wind.
Flood threats mounted rapidly
as- the; rain kept coming down.
The Russian river in Northern
California was expected to crest
today and minor flooding was al
ready reported.
Great Britain Orders
Home Guard Retired
London (U.R) Britain order
ed its Home Guard retired today
after four years of cold war
alert and announced a sharp re
organization of the Army re
serve for "global war."
War Secretary Antony Head
told the House of Commons on
his return from the North At
lantic Council meeting in Paris
that the Home Guard was form
ed' of volunteers between the
ages of 18 and 65 would be
placed on "reserve" status.
The Territorial Army, equiva
lent to the U. S. National Guard,
will be trimmed to two full
strength divisions.
The two divisions of the ter
ritorials are the minimum re
quired to meet Britain's NATO
contribution. The remainder of
the territorials will be assigned
to new jobs.
Mailers Join Detroit
Newspaper Strike
Detroit (U.R) Hope dimmed
today for settlement of Detroit's
20-day-old newspaper strike
when the mailer's union joined
striking stereotypers on picket
lines.
The 550 mailers are members
of the Detroit Mailers Union No,
40, a branch of the International
Typographical Union. They be
came the second of eight unions
whose contracts have expired
with the city's three major
dailies, The Detroit News,. Times
and Free Press, to go on strike.
Elmer Brown, a representative
of the ITU office at Indianapolis,
said the mailers voted 354 to 11
last night to officially join the
strike. He accused the publishers
of forcing the union to strike by
"stalling" on negotiations on
new contracts. - - -
SIDEWALK TRAGEDY Dr. and Mrs. Frank Greider of
Decatur 111., are given first aid by police after being
struck down on a sidewalk in Los Angeles when an auto
jumped the curb. The 65-year-old physician, who later died
in the hospital, and his wife were en route to Japan 'to
spend Christmas with their serviceman son. Mrs. Greider's
condition is critical.
Powers Men Give Up In Tax Evasion Case
Portland (U.R) Three
partners in the Standley Bro
thers Logging Company, Pow
ers, Ore., voluntarily surrend
ered to the U.S. marshal here
yesterday on an indictment
charging federal income tax ev
asion. All three men Noble C.
Standley; Robert Wilbur Merch
en, and James A. Adamek
posted $2500 bail and were re
leased by U. S. Commissioner
Robert Leedy pending arraign
ment.
The indictment states that
Standley should have paid $112,
959 instead of $27,062 from 1949
to 1951; Merchen should have
paid $45,807 instead of $12,299,
and Adamek should have paid
$34,832 instead of $4,019.

On Adultery Charge
Weatherford, Tex. (U.R)
Walter M. Vaughn, 47, a farmer,
said last night he killed the Rev.

"Yes, it's true," Vaughn's wife

Vaughn told reporters. "He came
in for the purpose of committing
adultery and he did."
