,1 DEMOCRATIC HOSTS At a luncheon in the Palmer House in Chicago these members of the host committee for the Democratic National Convention go over details for the first session starting Aug. 13. Seated, left to right, James L. O'Keefe, chairman; Chicago's Mayor Rich ard Daley, honorary chairman; and Jacob M. Arvey, na tional committeeman. Standing, left to right, Gabriel Ditore, treasurer, and D. John Sierocinski, vice chairman. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS At his news conference in Washington the other morning, State Secretary Dulles passed out to the reporters a prepared statement in which (along with quite a few other things) he said: "International communism is in a state of perplexity and at internal odds because certain ba sic truths have caught up with it. One such truth is that com munism has great difficulty in being an effective instrument of cold war without such iron dis cipline and brutal terrorism as Stalin employed. The other truth is that such rule will not be in definitely tolerated by tl.ose sub ject thereto uuless at least it pro duces a succession of victories." He added: "With the lack of victories, there is revolt against the harsh discipline exemplified by Stalin. As a result, the communist par ties are in a state of discomfiture." DULLES has two faults. He talks, I think, a little too much. When he talks, he talks like a doctor of philosophy, and so a lot of what he is saying goes over the heads of most of us. But In this case TT : - toi.inM 4a 4oll lie cnmd. thing that if true is very important. have come to the conclusion that the "iron discipline and brutal terrorism" that were employed by Stalin to keep nimself on top will no longer be tolerated by the people who are the victims of it and so the communist despots will have to become MILDER and more reasonable if they are to keep their jobs. Hence the recent "good fel low" pose that has been adopted by Kruschev, Bulganm & Co. I HOPE Dulles is right in his statement that as a result of the dilemma they face the com munist despots are in a "state of discomfiture." But history tells us that in such a situation there are TWO possibilities: 1. Maybe, as a result of the discomfiture, the communist big shots will be afraid to start a war that might backfire on them. 2. MAYBE THEY'LL START A WAR TO END THE DISCOM FITURE AND KEEP THEM SELVES IN THE SADDLE. Is That So? Ever wondered how every animal species has developed an intercom system a method ol getting word across to its part ner? For instance, we hear wolf calling wolf a thousand yards apart: and immediately they are in direct and understandable communication. With some animals, this "talk" is based upon sight, in others hearing, in some upon touch, in the majority upon smell and to some extent a combination of all these senses, together with a wonderful profound instinc tive understanding. This intercommunication sys tem can be unbelievably com plex. Consider: The female jewel fish turns a Vermillion red; to perceive and react to this, the male has developed a fine sense of color recognition. (With the exception of man and the pri mates, mammals cannot see red!) The she-moose has evolved a call a lone whine while her mate, to recognize it and get its romantic implications a half- mile away, has developed a rec ognition for it even though he never heard it before in his life. The tiny male moth smells his future mate downwind just By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist think of the vast amount of air which must contain her infi nitesimal particles of identify ing odor and of the remarkable sensitivity of the male's smell ing organs. And at a mile away, the male can evenj determine the exact species even though there are thousands of moths perfuming the air at the' same time. What is even more un usual, he can determine whether she is ready to be his mate; and yet, remember these moths come together just once in a lifetime! Unlearned Sensa Locked within the animal's being is a remarkable unlearned sense of recognition. They hear, they smell, they feel and they understand. Yet change the moose's call and the cow will not respond: alter the chemical content of the moth's perfume and the male will not respond; alter the jewel fish's color and her mate will hasten off for a new con sort; change the feather color and hair-do of a bird and even though the pair have, mated and built a nest together, the male will rout the female from their bower. To appreciate the sensitivity of this communication system, let's look at our dogs upon whom many experiments have been conducted in the laboratory. It has been found that dogs were able not only to recognize the presence of nitrobenzol in a so lution of 11200th of 1 per cent but also to detect this micro scopic trace when it was dis guised with pungent flower scents, tar and cinnamon. The human could scare el y do l1000ths as well. What a man can hear at 175 yards by straining his inaccurate ears, a dog can hear easly ten times as far away, at a mile! And he hears with fine discrim ination. Not only has the dog an astonishing talent for discern ing the exact pitch of sounds distinguishing e a si 1 y between two adjacent notes on the piano, but his discrimination is so beau tifully precise that he can also distinguish between quarter tones! In addition, :he dog has an extraordinarily well - developed sense of the location of sounds, Sunday, July I. 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE which to. all appearances, is much better than the human's. Now that the season for ex changing information between males and females is approach ing an observer can sometimes see the wild animals employ all the organs of intercommunica tion: smell, hearing, feeling and sight. As two rival bucks come together, they will raise the hair on their backs as does the wolf, cat or moose. This increases the size and certainly makes the an imal appear more formidable to the rival. Thus, through .vision, it will try to instill fear before lighting. Besides this, the animal may discharge a scent as does the mink, goaf, or caribou invok ing the olfactory sense. He may also roar as does the lion, wal rus, or bear adding the audi tory sense. Should this all not produce tne desired effect upon the rival, then the fourth, the tactile sense is invoked by the use of the deer's hooves, the rat's teeth, the racoon's claws, or the buffalo's horns sometimes with mortal results. But that's communica tion in the wild.

John Wayne Says He's Highest Paid Actor Hollywood U.R) Actor John Wayne, the former foot ball player with the fantastic box office success, said Satur day he is now the highest-salaried star in the world. The lanky actor told United Press he has signed a history making contract with 20th Century-Fox Studio. He said under the contract he will 'collect $2 million for only one picture a year for the next three years. Wayne's take-home pay will average $100,000 a week in fig uring an average of eight week's shooting schedule a picture.

Riverside, Medford, Ore. THE thing for us all to do, I'm quite sure, is to keep our fingers crossed and keep our powder dry. WHAT he is trying to tell us is that in his opinion the Krem lin despots are facing the same dilemma that has been faced by despots since the world began. That is to say: Despotism involves iron dis cipline and brutal terrorism. People will stand for iron dis cipline and brutal terrorism IN TIME OF WAR, when the despot is winning victory after victory and it looks like the time is coming when he and his people will RUN THE WORLD and every thing will be lovely. But thy WON'T stand for iron discipline and brutal terrorism in time of peace. History more or less confirms that judgment. Dulles hopes The Kremlin communists are up the well-known stump and are trying to find a way to get down.

Cahill is the former Lincoln county water district official who was convicted of stealing $750 of the district's funds.

He was granted the stay of sentence by the high court over an objection fil ed by Polk County District At torney Walter Foster. Cahill said he would now file an appeal of his one-sentence to the U. S. Supreme Court. He began serving the sentence June 13. He has until Septem ber 11 to file his appeal. On his release from prison 'yesterday. he returned to his home at Nel- scott.
