Today's Women Degraded Lot Seeking Retribution, Doctor Says United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) A Scientific comparison between what wo men used to be and what women are today has produced the con clusion that present-day women are a "degraded" lot who seek retribution in a mighty wrath of frenzied aggressions." Dr. lago Gladston, of the New York Academy of Medicine, was doing the comparing. "It used to be, he said, that woman "was the mainstay of the family. She was wife and moth er, nurse and teacher. "She spun the yarn and wove the cloth. She tailored. She gar dened for the kitchen and the medicine chest. She it was who molded candles, preserved food against the winter seasons, made soaps, cooked, baked, laundered, and tended to the hundreds of functions and details that are so vital to the maintenance and the flourishing of the family. Worked Long Hours uuuouess sue wumeu iuug hours and hard, but for all this she had her rewards, the great est among them, the secure knowledge that she was needed and wanted; that she was indis pensable in the scheme of the living pattern. There was for her too the sense of accomplishment, the satisfaction that comes with the fulfillment of the primal urge to create, to dispense of self in the process." Now, for present-day women: 1 "One after another of the wom an's functions, of her utilities in the home, have been taken front her, first by the machine, and then also by the mercantile, commercial and social agencies. She has been, as some of our feminist and liberal friends say, with such eager enthusiasm, freed of the yoke of household chores.' She is a free woman. (Free for what? "To the man from Mars, for he alone could be considered a true outsider, it would appear that woman, so largely deprived of her ancient prerogatives, is free to seek retribution, and is doing so in a mighty wrath of frenzied aggressions." Social Structures Upset Dr. Gladston was addressing a recent meeting of social workers. His argument was that intense industrialization over a long pe riod of time had basically dis rupted traditional social struc tures, and people generally men, women, and children have been the victims. "They form," he said, "the new poor." More social work and better directed social work are needed to deal with this widespread "social" illness, he said. The evidences of this illness are, he said, "violence and sui cide, divorce and delinquency, alcoholism, sterility, homosex uality, addiction to narcotic drugs, to excitants and depres sants, impotence and frigidity, and uncountable varieties of psy chosomatic, neurotic, and psy chotic afflictions, and more nu merous than all the rest, the hordes of unhappy, bewildered people they make up "the lone ly crowd." APPLEGATE-JACKSONVILLE Fire Victim Aided by Party Gasoline Price War Hearings Slated Here Portland (U.R) An inves tigation into charges that major oil companies in the state are promoting price wars and jug gling prices was started here yesterday. Philip F. Jehle, assistant counsel of the Senate Small Bus iness committee, conferred with several complaining dealers shortly alter his arrival here yesterday He indicated that the investigation will continue in this area most of the week. He also plans to hear charges in Albany, Corvallis, Astoria and Medford. Portland dealers have com plained that the major oil com panies were encouraging a price war by supplying their own dealers at lower prices than they do to independent operators. Spinal Meningitis Reported at Roseburg Koseburg U.R) Douglas county health authorities yester day announced that a case of spinal meningitis had been dis covered at one of the city's pri- TYi a rv cphnnl Health authorities and school officials sent letters to parents of all classmates of the six-year-old girl who was found to be in fected, informing them of the case. x " They suggested that parents take their children to their phys icians for examination and anti biotics. School authorities said the school would remain open. By HELGA MITCHELL Applegate-Jacksonville Hor ace H. Farley of Sterling Creek, who recently lost his home and possessions from a fire, was in vited to dinner last Tuesday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Nelson. After din ner, he was taken by surprise when 35 neighbors came to the Nelson residence and gave him a shower of household gifts, clothing and food. Farley, who was 'overwhelmed by the neigh bors' generosity, said "It's like having Christmas in the middle of April." Over the week end, we were quizzing numerous fishermen along the Applegate, in an effort to find out about fishing condi tions. We regret to report that fishing was poor. A large tree along the river, which at first sight seemed to have hundreds of lemons perch ed on its limbs, upon closer in vestigation were found to be chirping boisterously. They were birds. With the exception of a black spot on their heads and black wings, they were a bright lemon yellow. The Ruch PTA will meet Fri day. May 4, at 8 p.m. st the Ruch school.

Goddard and their son, Larry, of Talent, and Mrs. E. S Sloan of Jacksonville. Twelve members attended the Little Applegate Sewing club at the home of Mrs. Glenn Saltmarsh, last Thursday. It was the first time that "Mrs. Lewis Crammer of Butte Falls attend ed these meetings since she moved away from the Applegate area. Tea, coffee and home made doughnuts were served.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Garwick of Berkeley, Calif., are spending some time at their summer home located at the mouth of the Lit tle Applegate' river. They have been repairing their swimming pool, fences, and portions of their, house, which were dam aged during the winter flood. The Gerwicks were also active in relief work during the Yuba City flood in California. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Liles of Grants Pass visited the Mansel Milam residence last Sunday. . Last Friday Leroy Williams of Medford, Red Cross first aid chairman for Jackson county, demonstrated artificial respira tion to the Ruch school students. A doll was used to demonstrate artificial respiration for small children and later he taught the students by having them prac tice the technique on one anoth er. Williams stressed the neces sity for children to learn first aid, especially in rural areas where there generally isn't the immediate availability of a doc tor. Williams, who has been an instructor for the past 2Vfe years was inspired to do this work when he saw how many acci dents occurred and how many there are who haven't a thor ough knowledge of first aid. He is teaching first aid to mill workers every Tuesday night at the Ruch school. Rural reflections: Mrs. A. Pawlowski .of "Top o' the Hill" last Saturday was informed via phone that she had a radio wait ing for her at the Medford Fur niture store.

Political Candidates Not Good Video Personalities, Dramatic Coach Says Two Persons Killed In Vreck Near Gaston Forest. Grove (U.R) Two persons were killed yesterday afternoon when a lumber truck rolled ovsr and struck a utility pole on highway 47, a mile north of Gaston. Killed in the accident were Duayne Grosser, 29, of Grande Ronde, driver of the truck and Josephine N. Rabins, 36, Mc Minriville. Police reported that the truck skidded 93 feet as it aproached a sharp curve on the highway. It struck a guard rail, then roll ed over striking the utility pole. New York (U.R) Betty Cashman, one of this town's top dramatic coaches, sized up the candidates of both parties today and decided they're all flops on TV. "There's not a single man in politics today," said Miss Cash man, "who really understands the medium. They lack eye ap peal and ear appeal. "I teach my actors that they can't make speeches at an audi ence. It's about time politicians learned the same thing speeches don't work when you're visiting some one's living room." Miss Cashman, a spe cialist in self-expression, has been teaching for eight years. She has tutored such scholars as Tony Curtis, Denise Darcel, Jack Palance, Patti Page, Mar tha Wright and the sisters Ga bon Eisenhower. Improved It's her belief that she could impart some profitable lessons in TV politicking to Misters Eisenhower, Stevenson, Kefauv er and the rest. "Mr. Eisenhower has im proved a good deal. But he was in the Army so long, he picked up the habit of talking at peo ple instead of to them. He was too used to giving direct orders to make a good TV speaker in the beginning. But he seems to be learning," she said. "Stevenson is not good on TV either He has a "Good evening, audience' manner which is all Resources Program Could Alter Economy Chicago (U.R) Admiral Ben Morreell, chairman of the second Hoover commission's study on water resources and power, said last night the fed er.l government's water re sources program could change the nation's economy into a soc ialistic pattern. Morreell, now chairman of the board of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp., said some federal projects "have every appearance of being desirable . . . but the cumulative effect of these ap parently harmless measures could very well remodel our economy into a pattern which, for all practical purposes, is socialistic." right on a public platform, but won't work in the living room.
