Medford Armory Progress Discussed at Roundtable
About 25 people attending the
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce weekly roundtable
session Monday noon were
shown revised plans and speci
fications for the new Medford
armory to be built at the fair
grounds. Main speakers at the luncheon
were Jack Edson, architect, who
outlined major changes planned
for the building since the origi
nal blueprint was unveiled, and
Harold Frye of the Medford city
council, a member of the joint
armory committee, who review
ed progress of the armory proj
ect. The two men pointed out that
funds for the building are being
let aside by the state, county,
city and federal government. Of
these, they explained, govern
ment funds are the most "un
predictable." Federal participation will be
determined through a formula
basePupon direct use of specific
portions of the building by gov
ernment units. In order to ac
quire maximum federal aid for
the construction, it has been
necessary to redesign some of
the original plans to meet gov-
ernrfnt preferences.
Considerable Delay
Frye told the group that con
siderable delay has been evi
dent in the armory project.
Among factors responsible, he
said, have been selection of an
appropriate location with facili
ties including adequate parking,
acquiring and revising archi
tects' drawings of the proposed
structure, acquiring necessary
funds, and annexing the tract
into the city after it was selected.
Frye pointed out that the lo
cation was originally owned by
the county. The county court
later turned it over to the state
and the city eventually annexed
the tract. He explained that this
was necessary because the city
can budget no funds for other
than incorporated property.
Bids Rejected
Another source of delay, Frye
noted, came after bids were
I called and subsequently rejected
as too high.
Edson explained that follow
ing rejection of the bids, archi
tects drew up new plans which
included numerous changes,
though the exterior of the build
ing remains as- originally plan
ned. 0
Included in the interior
changes were:
1. Elimination of - the base
ment, which originally was to
house the rifle range and team
rooms for sporting events;
2. Moving of the rifle range
to the area previously set aside
for unit classrooms;
3.. Moving of classrooms to
thaj space originally planned for
women's rest rooms;
4. Elimination of one office,
snack bar and lounge, and
5. Elimination of some ac
coustical material.
Edison said the architects
managed to retain a coat check
room and kitchen, and there is
still space labeled as "day room"
which might eventually be con
verted into a snack bar.
The architect stated that the
main assembly floor is now
planned to be constructed of ce
ment rather than hardwood with
air space beneath, as was pro
posed earlier. Edson comment
ed that the hardwood floor
would have been more adapt
able as a basketball floor, but a
cement floor better suits Na
tional Guard purposes and thus
would probably be more eligi
ble for government funds.
Now in question, Edson said,
Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
New York Margaret Truman on the announcement of her
engagement to newspaperman E. Clifton Daniel Jr., proving she
meant her statement of two years ago:
"I certainly do not intend to be a spinster. My one goal in life
is to have a marriage as happy as my mother's."
New York E. Clifton Daniel Jr.. on his admission that
he, like his father, was a Democrat:
"I don't know whether I could get into this family if
I weren't." '
are folding partitions planned
for the main floor and balcony.
This is about a $40,000 item, he
explained, and may have to be
forfeited in the interest of econ
omy. Edson commented that archi
tects have made more than 35
sheets of drawings for the pro
posed armory. Bids for the con
struction will be opened on
March 28 at 2:30 p.m.
Quadruplets Reported
'Doing Very Nicely"
Richmond, Va. (U.R) Three
day old quadruplets were re
ported "doing very nicely" to
day with the benefit of "high
powered" incubators and a
crew of doctors and nurses at a
hospital here.
Blood donors also were stand
ing by in the event of new ar
rivals need complete transfus
ions because of their in compat
ible blood condition, but thus
far this prospect remained un
certain. The girls were born late Sat
urday afternoon in St. Luke's
hospital to Mrs. Richard H.
Shaia. 32, wife of a Richmond
restaurant owner and the moth
er of five other children. She
was reported doing well also.
Solon Claims GOP Tries To Cut Hislory
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger claimed
yesterday that the Oregon State
Republican Central committee
was trying "to cut history in half
with a pair of bent shears" in
an effort to embarrass Neuberg
er's senior colleague, Sen.
Wayne Morse.
Neuberger was replying to a
recent "fact sheet" from Repub
lican state headquarters which
quoted Neuberger's criticisms
of Morse when the latter was
a Republican member of the
senate.
"It is true that Sen. Morse
and I had some political dis
agreements when he was an ac
tive Republican," Neuberger
said. "Yet it is equally true that,
during this period, Sen. Morse
l was handsomely and lavishly
praised by such Republicans as
the late Arthur H. Vandenburg,
William F. Knowland, Joseph
W. Martin Jr., George D. Aiken,
Homer Ferguson, Iriving M.

Washington Republican National Chairman Leonard
Hall on President Eisenhower remaining silent about his
choice for a 1956 running mate:
"It seems to me that everybody is concerned about the

Paris Premier Guy Mollet on his announcement that Great
Britain and France will present a new plan for world disarmament:
"This event is of considerable importance. It testifies to the
will for peace of our nations." '
Miami Stripper Evelyn West of the 45-inch bust on her
plans to hand out panty raid souvenirs to frustrated students
a the University of Miami:
"There are many young men enrolled . . . who, for one
reason or another, are experiencing 'sexual frustration.'
One of the results of this are the usual panty raids ... I
have a solution to prevent this."
Bay City, Mich. Judge Frank C. Picard on his being narrowly
missed by a shotgun blast fired by an escaped mental patient:
"The funny part of it is the marks on the wall in back of me.
Some of the pellets must have gone through me. Oh well, we were
going to redecorate the court anyway."

Bill Would Limit .
Federal -Tracis
Washington '(U.R) Rep
Clair Engle (D-Calif .) said yester
day he will sponsor legislation
to set a limit of 5,000 acres on
tracts of public land that fed
eral departments can take over
without congressional action.
Engle pointed out that an
agency at present can take over
tracts of any size. Huge so-called
"withdrawals" have been made
recently in his congressional dis
trict to the detriment of grazing,
mining and other uses, he said.
Engle is chairman of the
House Interior committee which
has been looking into military
withdrawals of public land in
California, Nevada, New Mexico
and other Western states. He
said he plans to introduce two
other bills to change the with
drawal procedure.
1. Require direct return of
public tracts to the Interior De
partment when the withdrawing
agency is through with them.
Under present procedure, the
General Services Administration
can dispose of the tracts. Engle
said this could lead to "secret
skulduggery."
2. Require a notice of with
draTal be published in the Fed
eral Register, listing uses which
can be made of the land in spite
of the reservation. Engle men
tioned such uses as grazing, min
ing, lumbering and hunting and
fishing.
Depoe Bay, Ore. (U.R)

Monday. A 30-foot dead whale
which last week threatened to

back out to sea.

"No need to cut tablets

ST. JOSEPH ASPIRIN FOR CHILDREN
' o
Hollywood U.R) One of
the biggest industrial booms
caused by television besides
TV dinners
and glasses for
eye -strain
is the toupee
business.
TV stars
have discov
ered their im
age on the
tube looks
younger with
Aline Mosfcy hair on top.
Groucho Marx, Frank Sinatra,
Barry Sullivan, Mark Stevens,
Leo Durocher, Ralph Edwards
and Bing Crosby are among
the numerous sportscasters,
newscasters, quizmasters, actors,
actresses and even chorus dan
cers who sport dome doilies for
their TCV appearances.
This activity has caused a
business sensation at the wig
factory of the famous makeup
king, Max Factor.
Some Get By
"Many TV personalities were
in radio or on the stage and got
by without complete hair but on
TV hair shows so much more,"
explained Fred Frederics, a hair
expert at Factor's.
"Why, musicians can't even
work on TV without a hair
piece. One bald musician will
stand ' out in the band like a
spotlight."
Many stars have long left
their original hair and need
wall-to-wall toupees. Others use
just a piece in front. Factor's
also makes a thin toupee with
just enough hairs to keep a
head of skin from shining under
the bright TV lights.
Factor's even makes hair
pieces for women on TV. One
tig TV star of a series never
appears without a wig because
her once-luxurious hair is get
ting sparse on top. .
Dye Job Apparent
A fading dye job shows up on
TV so dancers wear a strip of i
false hair to cover the part in '
their own hair so they won't j
have to re-dye so often. I
"I think so many television '
personalities appearing with;
hair has boosted our business !
for the layman," added Freder- j
ics. !
"Our mail order business has j
never been heavier. Sports cars
have brought a demand for
crewcut toupees. Of course,
those customers usually buy a
longer toupee for formal wear.
"Some men never take them
off at night," he confided. "I
know one actor who never has
let any of his wives see him
without a toupee."
