Exchange Student
From Sweden Talks
At Rotary Meeting
Lenart Magnussen of Sweden,
xchange student now attending
;h school at Yreka, Calif., told
the Medford Rotary club here
Tuesday that his,visit to theU.S.
has changed his attitude on
world peace and given him hope
that world understanding can
be achieved.
Speaking, at a luncheon meet
ing at the Jackson hotel, he said
that the Communist party is not
i important factor in politics
of his country, but has not been
outlawed and has members in
congress.
King's Cabinet
Although Swecttn has a king
and queen, the country is essen
tially a democracy with a king's
cabinet, 380 congressmen and
five political parties. County
and city governments are simi
lar to those in the U.S. It takes
considerably longer for a Swed
ish student to complete gram
mar and high school, and fewer
go to college, with its more ad
vanced curriculum in specialized
fields, Magnussen said.
Accompanying Magnussen
were Mrs. Thomas Dickinson of
Yreka, district representative of
the American field service, and
her son, Ronald, who both de
scribed the experience of having
an exchange student in their
home.
Approximately 900 students
from various countries will
study in the U.S. this year un
der the American field service
program, Mrs. Dickinson said.
The Medford Rotary club will
sponsor a stu&mt who will
study in Medford High school.

of the Medford club, introduced

last night and the Weather !
Bureau warned of possible twist- i
ers today in six more states. j
Tornado warnings were posted
for parts of Kentucky, Alabama,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,
and Louisiana. The Chicago
Weather Bureau lifted earlier
warnings for areas in Illinois and
Indiana, scene of last night's
worst twisters. Warnings for
Ohio and Western Pennsylvana
also were lfted.
Winds in California
In the West, wrecking winds
hit southern California, hitting
90-mile per hour gusts, and 50
mph winds fanned a forest fire
raging over 1,300 acres of New
Mexico timberla'nd.
The Midwest twisters started
in Missouri, touched down at
Buckley, 111., and then raced
with full fury into Indiana. Twist
ers hit the small Indiana towns
of Darlington and Galveston and

heart of Marion.
A young woman was killed
and at least 25 persons were
found injured in the Marion
wreckage. The twister flattened
scores of homes, weakened two
schools, and ripped bricks away
from other buildings. Damage
estimates ran well over a millon
dollars.
Flashlghts in Hospital
Marion's power went out dur
ing the tornado and doctors
worked on the injured in Gen
eral Hospital under the light of
flashlights and portable lanterns.
The twister found 40 parents
practicing for a minstrel show at
a junior high school and -sent
a chimney crashing into their
midst.
Farther back along the twist-1 degrees below zero at James-
er s path there was extensive
damage at Perryville, Mo., and
four persons injured at both
Buckley and Dunnington.
The twisters raged in advance
of a strong cold front which
shoved its way into the Ohio
Valley. Thunderstorms and hail
storms played on its edges, block
ing roads in three counties near
Detroit, Mich.
Hail was three to four inches
deep in central Michigan, tele
phone lines and trees were down,
and lights and heat were
knocked out in some communi
ties. Snow and Dust
In the cold wave's wake, tem
peratures dropped as low as 10
town, N. D. Snows swept the
northern Midwest, crippling the
presidential campaigns of Dem
ocrats Adlai E. Stevenson and
Sen. Estes Kefauver in Minne
sota, and thick dust clouds bil
lowed in the Southwest.
More vicious weather plagued
the West, where gale-force winds
stirred up a sandstorm which
brought visibility to zero at Palm
Springs, Salif.
Plate glass .windows were
shattered in the resort city and
more than 40 trees were torn up
in Los Angeles. To the north,
55-mph winds whipped the Brit
ish Columbia coast and the fish
ing vessel Westviaw called for
help.

Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
Hollywood (U.R Johnny
Mercer, in the town's hottest
seat as chairman of the Emmy
1 awards, slash
' ed back at Em-
m y attackers
today.
"T h e s e mis
takes are not
the TV Acad
emy's fault,"
h e believes.
Emmy is wal
lowing in hot
Aline Mosbjr w a t e r in the
TV industry. Jerry Lewis began
the sizzling controversy when
he refused to be master of cere
monies of the March 17 awards
ceremony because he and Dean
Martin weren't listed on the
nomination ballot.
Dick Powell turned down the
same job because, "the nomina
tions and categories are confus
ing." Nominee Jack Webb rock
ed the industry when he with
drew from the Emmy race be
cause he'd been nominated for
a rerun film he made in 1954.
Danny Thomas, producer Jack
juenove ana others also com
plained. Members Responsible
But song writer Mercer point
ed out the academy members
are responsible for the way the
awards are run.
-"Webb entered himself in the
best director category; we have
his name signed on the entry,"
shrugged Mercer. "So why the
beef?
"Martin and Lewis weren't en
tered by themselves, or NBC or
their producer. So why attack
us? AH possible nominees have
to be submitted by the networks,
the producers or the stars them
selves. As for Dick Powell, I think
he turned us down just because
we asked him too late.
"It's very easy to criticize. But
why don't these people write us
letters? Or, better, why don't
they get on the Board of Gov
ernors so they can run this
show?
Oscar ' Lest Trouble
The main headache involves
the fact there are approximately
7,000 network programs on TV
each year. The academy tried to
squeeze the nominees into 41
categories. The Oscar race only
has a couple of hundred films
to worry about. TV also has to
be divided into series, one-time
shows, live dramas, filmed pro
grams,. etc.
' Don DeFore, head of the TV
Academy, has done a wonderful
job," said Mercers "He got the
Emmies on a nationwide tele
cast last year. This year he got
the New York TV people to join.
"This job," concluded Mercer,
"is a big headache. Pretty thank
less. Songwriting is much easier."
