The only out-of-state bands,
Medford and their rival Klam

during time-outs at the Shrine
East-West game.
A Mad Artists ball was held
in the boys' gymnasium after
the Saturday night basketball
game with Ashland.
The gym was surrounded with
wild interpretations of life, as
the Art Student league got their
chance to prove real imagina
tion, humor, and artistic ability
all at the same time.
The pictures were "droodles
which jokingly poked fun at the
artists themselves.

Investigators Poll Leading Cilizens To
Washington (U.R) Congress-
ional investigations have polled
60 of the nation's leading cit
izens, including former President
Hoover and Truman, in an ef
fort to clear up a constitutional
question brought into ' sharp
focus by President Eisenhower's
heart attack, it was learned
Saturday.
The . question is: What did
the founding fathers mean when
they provided in article two of
the constitution that the vice
president shall take over in case
of the president's "inability" to
discharge executive powers?
The clause has never been
invoked, although many histor
ians believe it should have been
when President Woodrow Wil
son suffered a paralytic stroke
that left him an invalid - 17
months before his term expired.
Assuming Dutiei
Immediately after President
Eisenhower's heart attack last
Sept. 24, there was talk in of
ficial circles about the possi
bility of Vice President Richard
M. Nixon assuming the chief
executive's powers under the
"inability" clause. But this was
France's Atomic
Reactor Starts
Paris (U.R) France's first
industrial atomic reactor be'gan
operation Saturday at Marcoule
in Southern France.
The 40,000 kilowatt reactor
known as "G-l" was formally
set in operation by Francis Per
rin, French High Commission
er for Atomic Energy.
Apart from producing 30
pounds of plutonium yearly the
reactor will also supply enough
power to drive a 5,000 kilowatt
power station.
Two more atomic reactors
will begin operation in the
course of the year, raising
France's annual production of
plutonium to around 200
pounds.
. France had two small, experi
mental reactors but this is the
first one designed for full-scale
industrial usage. .

Clothing To Yuba City
Marysville, Calif. jOJ.P.) The
president of the Marysville,
Calif., Lions club said Saturday
the adoption of flood ravaged
Yuba City, Calif., by the Mon
son, Mass., Lions club was a "ter
rific gesture."
Woodrow Jang, speaking for
the flooded Yuba City Lions
club, said the local Lions had
received 50 cartons of clothing
the Monson Lions sent to the
Yuba City Lions across the river
from here.
"We think it was a terrific
gesture," Jang said. "They know
how it was. They had floods this
past spring."
Jang said the clothing was
nearly all distributed and the re
mainder would be given out
next week. He said the clothing
was going to some 50 Lions fam
ilies hit by the flood.
"Many of them rushed from
their homes with only the
clothes they wore on their backs,
Jang said. "They lost all their
possessions in the flood and are
most grateful for this wonderful
help from 3,000 miles away."
