Stevenson's Talks Not To Be On All Video Networks Washington V.P.i Adlai E. Stevenson'i strategists plan to stop icheduling the Demo cratic presidential candidate's major campaign speeches on all three television networks at the tame time. They are seeking to abandon two "saturation" speeches sched uled for Oct. 23 and Nov. 3 which would, in effect, hold tele vision viewers as a "captive aud ience" with no other program to see during the half hour. Would Gir Choic Instead, they want to swap the time already contracted for at $200,000 a half hour for six eparate half hour addresses on one channel at a time. This would give viewers a choice to watch Stevenson or turn to some other program. Ralph Beck, assistant to George Ball, coordinator of pub lic relations at the Democratic National committee, said the twitch is being made to give "a little more spread" to Steven ion's addresses to offset televis ion time bought up by Republi cans. Denies 'R.b.Ilion' He denied published reports that Stevenson's "saturation" telecast In Harrisburg, Pa., was Ineffective because television viewers rebelled at being held "captive." The Republican National com mittee said it has followed and will continue a policy of using only one network for political ipeeches. It sometimes will put its five-minute spot casts on more than one network, but not simultaneously to avoid any sat uration effect.

K1 WMO C4UE On The Side By E. V. Durling (Diitriby4 by Kinf Jmstvrm Svndic. Inc.) What's the best month for weather in your section? In New York it is October. At that time it is usually very bright and brisk. No smog. Well, hardly any. On such a beautiful day 1 worked out from Columbus Cir cle to Washington Square and finished three-fifths of a second under the record. I wasn't even breathing hard. I figure I am a cinch to win the Around the Central Park Reservoir Walking Handicap. "Toots" Shor was short priced favorite for this event but he pulled up lame while dancing the rumba at Rose- land and has been scratched. Among th Married Note it stated people married younger in the so-called "old days." That's wrong. At least it is in this country. Fifty years ago the average bridegroom was 26 and his bride 24. Now the av erage groom is 22 and the bride 20. Another interesting angle is that young couples are having larger families than they did 50 years ago. Most modern young women appear to think the ideal family is six. Papa, mama and four youngsters. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Why is 13 considered an unlucky num ber?

Sena. or Morse ond ethers had eiposed possibly illegal attempts by the oil and gas lobby fo piessure Senators into supporting this b'll. the President decided to veto if, even though he supported the bill in principle. But McKay, who now is running for Senator on the Presi dent t coattoils, fought against the veto to the last. Here t how the nation s leading or) magazine described McKoy's action: ". . . The President discussed with the Cabinet whether he should veto the bill. One by one. other Cabinet members swung around to the President s view. McKay never did. On the final Cabinet vote, McKay wet still voting against the veto." Small wonder then that "Petroleum Week," in She ech toiol just quo'ed, lauded McKay as "one of the oil industry's) strongest supporters in tne Administration." I.

But McKay fought the ail industry i battle before Con gress and we still hove no general aid to education program. 3. McKAY SOID OREGON SPORTSMEN SHORT when he opened up federal wildlife sanctuaries to extensive oil leasing. Senator Morse was the first in Congress to protest this threat to preservation of native Americon fish and wildlife. Your Senator's objections were echoed by a unanimous condemnation of McKay's action issued by both Republicen and Democratic members of the House Fisheries Com. mittee. After its investigation, the bi-partisan group concludedi "Such increased activity in the issuance of leases by the Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay, or by those under his immediate supervision, can only result in serieui dam age te the wildlife refuge system in this country." The committee commented that is investigation showed "a picture of extreme administrative confusion" within McKay's Interior Department. a jury? A.

Smokers Which type of smokers have the worst smoking manners? Those who smoke cigarettes or those who smoke cigars or pipes? It is the pipe smokers. Most of them just can't get along with out that pipe no matter where they are. At Juan Les Pins on the French Riviera I saw an En glishman smoking a pipe while dancing. Cigar smokers are the most considerate. Some male cig arette smokers have fair man ners. The most inconsiderate cig arette smokers are young fe males. They blow smoke over everybody in the vicinity and leave lipstick 'stained butts ev erywhere. Please Note Fifty-six per cent of the peo ple in this country who are re tired at 65 are forced to do so. That is more than half of those retired at 65 think they are still in shape to go on working and want to do so. Those who con sider the compulsory retirement idea prevalent in business is un just point out that many men in government positions are not subject to it. As for example. Senator Theodore Green of Rhode Island who is 88. Also re tiring Senator Walter George, Democratic leader, who is 78. Then there is Speaker of the House Sam Kayburn who is 74.

Nixon Refuses To Make Issue Over Stevenson Divorce Hartford, Conn. :U.R Vice President Richard M. Nixon, has adopted a hands-off policy re garding Adlai E. Stevenson's di vorce. The vice president appeared on a local panel show in Milwau kee where he was asked about Stevenson's divorce. Mrs. Ruth Murray, president of the Wiscon sin Federation of Republican Women, said many women won dered who would serve as White House hostess in event he won. "I think that any personal life of a candidate is not a proper political issue in the campaign, Nixon replied. "I have never dis cussed Mr. Stevenson's back ground or Harry S. Truman's. What reason brought on Steven son's family difficulties is no con cern of mine." Stevenson and his wife, the former Ellen Borden, were di vorced in 1949 a year after he became governor of Illinois. They had been married 21 years. First Public Mention It was the first time during Nixon's 16-day trip through 34 states that Stevenson's divorce has been mentioned publicly. Nixon later made an indirect atlar-lr on lovencnn in cnoalrind I before a Marquette University throng of more than 2,000. Nixon said he would not promise the draft and H-bomb tests would be stopped as Stevenson had suggested. Wednesday, October 3, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Is That So? Ever lose most of a year's growth when you turned over a rock or board in your damp sarden and discovered a soft, foot-long scaleless, lizzard - like creature? Don't worry, it was a salamander a totally inoffen sive worm and bug-eating crea ture, often the prey of your housecat or an owl. Of our land-dwelling, back boned creatures the salamander represents the world's most an cient dwellers: experts say its history goes back about 340.000, 000 years. They add that sal amanders reached their peak of abundance some 200,000,000 years ago, some 140,000,000 years after emerging from the sea and developing limbs from fins and lungs from an air blad der. Judging from fossil remains, the salamander is a relic as animals go. Today's differ but very little from those which lived millions of years ago. Most kinds live in North America today in fact, more than in all other continents put together. More than 125 kinds live in the U.S. alone, and there are many more in Mexico. Au stralia has none. Africa but three kinds. In early days, man mistakenly believed that salamanders lived in fire. That's rot. Few can even tolerate extra warm weather. Unlike snakes and lizards, all salamanders prefer low body temperatures, some very near freezing. One in fact, dies when not kept cold. And a few can even survive being frozen in a block of ice. Glands Produce Slime Tiny glands in their skin pro duce slime which makes the animal slippery and difficult to hold. Unless the surrounding air is filled with moisture, water from this slime covering evap orates, causing the animal to feel colder to the touch than the surrounding air. Unlike the closely - related frog, all salamanders including newts and hellbenders retain their youthful tail. Should a tail be lost, the salamander can re grow a new one. More astonish ing, shouTa it lose a leg it can regenerate a new 6ne. Some bear their young alive; By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturjlist i2l water directly or In damp places, under rocks, rotten logs and in one instance in rotting tree cavities, several feet above the ground. In contrast to the tailless frogs and toads, the salamander, with but one exception, has no vocal cords and is silent except for a faint squeak when picked up probably a result of the ac cidental expulsion of air from the throat. Shun Bright Light Except for the newt some times called water puppy most shun bright light and all avoid dry air. Some found in pitch dark caverns are blind with the barest remnants of eyes well hid den below the skin. Yet, when reared in a laboratory where light is provided, they retain their eyes. Salamander vary in size great ly. Tne largest, the giant sal amander I saw in Japan this spring, attains a length of five feet, about thirty times as long as the smallest the pygmy sal amander of the U. S. whose bbdy is only one inch with an addi tional inch for its tail. These near 100-pound giants, which are edible, have been known to live a half century. (Copyright, 1956. by Eugene Burns) (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Owyhee Reservoir Flow Hearing End Ontario .U.R) Paul House, project manager of the Owryhee project, said yesterday that flow of irrigation wtaer from Owyhee reservoir probably will halt in about two weeks. House said the flow of water into the main canal has been re duced to 480 second feet from the peak flow this summer of 1080 second feet. He reported that the reser voir now contains 406.000 acre feet of water compared to 66,750 acre feet at the same time a year ago. The project manager said the use of water had been heavier this year, due principally to lack of beneficial rains in May and June. Despite this, however, the amount of holdover water in the reservoir will be the third best on record, he said, and, as a re sult, the outlook for next year is excellent.
