Cnited Press correspondent! throunrhout the country have rhecked on the activities In their states. This Is the serond of two stories on what Is being done to nconrace eligible citizens to register and vote. BY EVERETT H. IRWIN United Press Correspondent Chicago (U.R) Doorbell ringing housewives and young sters are combining forces with political parties and large cor porations in a campaign to wipe out lazy citizenship on election day. The American Heritage Foundation, which is coordinat ing their efforts, said it's the greatest bring-triem-o u t-to-vote campaign in the nation's history. The drive is directed at each of the 102,743.000 Americans who, by Census Bureau estimate, will be of voting age come Nov. . A United Press survey showed today that little is being left un done to encourage lazy or for getful citizens to be responsible, ballot-casting Americans in the general election. In Cleveland, where the regis tration deadline was Sept. 26, churches chartered transit buses to transport registrants to down town election headquarters. Housewives Deputized Republican organizations set up a free helicopter service to shuttle non - registered persons from suburban Northbrook to downtown Chicago to sign up. The Junior Chamber of Com merce sent trailers staffed with election clerks to outlying sec tions of Omaha, Neb., to register voters. Housewives in Reno and Las Vegas, Nev., were deputized as registrars to sign up voters in their own homes. The Girl Scouts of America organized a "Scouting for vot ers" project. Girls are touring Turnabout Russian Refugee, Daughter Arrive in London London U.R) Turnabout Russian refugee Alexis Chwas tov and his American - born daughter. Tanya, 2'.i, arrived here yesterday from the United States and were whisked off to the Soviet embassy for "safe keeping." The 58-year-old Russian who fled to the United States five years ago for "peace and secu rity" was escorted to London by two Soviet bodyguards who met him and Tanya at Southampton when they arrived aboard the Queen Mary. American sources have report ed Chwastov returning against his will in fear that something would happen to his 92-year-old mother in Russia if he refused Soviet blandishments to return with his daughter, an American citizen. At her Detroit home, where she lives with her husband and their 51 2-year-old son. Mrs. Helena Dieczok, 24, Tanya's mother, could only say that she hoped the government would do something. Born in America "I had not heard since I went to the government last Friday," she said. "I told them Tanya was an American citizen, she was born here. She is not Russian. He stole her from me." Mrs. Dieczok met her present husband in a Munich displaced persons camp in 1949 and had her son by him. She came to the United States in 1952, met Chwastov in Philadelphia and had Tanya by Chwastov before Dieczok rejoined her there last winter. They came here in Feb ruary but Mrs. Dieczok came to her home first and took Tanya away forcibly. . "They told me they would write a letter to Washington, I have heard nothing,"sMrs. Diec zok said. John Mulcahy, district Immi gration Service chief, said he wrote the Immigration Service in Washington, setting forth the facts in the case, and any word on possible government action would have to come from Wash ington. Chwastov and Tanya had hid den aboard the Queen Mary in New York harbor when U.S. Im migration authorities tried to find the pair in response to a tearful plea from Tanya's moth er who was left behind. Other Russians aboard were reported to have helped them hide. Followed Usual Pattern Today they arrived at Lon don's grimy Waterloo station by boat train and the two Soviet embassy officials escorted them through crowds of newsmen, photographers and American tourists to a taxi stand where they jumped in a cab and or dered "Soviet embassy." The Church. World Service that had sponsored Chwastov as a refugee five years ago report ed his disappearance followed the usual pattern of "redefec tion" letters and pleas from relatives in Russia, Soviet cus tody before departure, a "guard of honor" to make sure of the departure, and complete compli ance with all legal requirements. their home communities and re porting back to their troops what voters need babysitters, trans portation, etc. to enable them to register and vote. The Camp Fire Girls have taken aim at the youthful vot ers. They've initiated "coming of age birthday parties" for neighbors and friends who are old enough to vote for fhe first time. Boy Scouts also are participat ing. In Los Angeles county alone, more than 200,000 Boy Scouts are scheduled to hang reminders to vote on doorknobs a few days before the election. Some 450,000 youths in the Boys Clubs of America are dis tributing "Register to vote posters to banks, businesses and stores throughout the United States. Bob Frost, president of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, opened a voters-in-wheelchairs campaign. And the American Le gion is sending voting informa tion kits to radio stations. The League of Women Voters set up a registration and voting information booth as part of "The American Dream Pageant, a department store show which played 50 major cities. Most other major women's organiza tions are working, too. Free Ice Cream Continental Baking Company is sealing its loaves of bread with a "Register to vote" seal. Standard Oil Company provided voting guide books, reminder stickers, lapel tags and window displays to all its branch offices. Carvel Ice Crsam Company said is would give ice cream to reg istered voters. Democrats pushed a special registration campaign under a full-time director. The Repub licans, equally active, relied largely on GOP women and Young Republican groups. Leonard W. Hall, Republican national chairman, and Paul M. Butler, Democratic national chairman, appealed to citizens to vote. "The foundation of our gov ernment rests on the strength of the ballot box, Hall said in a statement today. "Every Ameri can eligible to vote should make a solemn pledge today to cast his vote on election day so the results will be an accurate reflec tion of a majority of the Ameri can people." Butler said the citizen who registers and votes is "setting policy and writing the con clusive answer to a host of im portant questions affecting the life of the nation and his own life." "I do not urge our citizens to register and vote merely as the performance of a duty," Butler said. "The American franchise is so rare and so great a privilege that I simply cannot imagine why any citizen would fail -to register and to report at his poll ing place on Nov. 6." On The Side Facts on Nitrogen Fertilizing The Application Factor NH3 (anhydrous ammonia) must be scien tifically applied for maximum crop benefit. Scientific application makes sure the nitrogen will be uniformly distributed throughout the root zone area.' Here, the nitrogen is immediately available for plant nourishment. Unused nitrogen remains available to the plant throughout the rest of the growing season. Shell'g superior application methods and equipment perfected in a quarter-century of field experience as sure scientific applications. That's one reason why Shell NH3 Service is your SURE way ito fertilize with nitrogen. l. g. McLaren & company MEDFORD - PHONE 2-6181 By E. V. Durlinq (Distributed by King FaiturM Syndicate. Inc.) t It was Sarah Josepha Hale who originated the saying, "See America First." That was when she was editor of the magazine known as Godey's Lady's book. Mrs. Hale also wrote the poem titled "Mary Had A Little Lamb." She was a very remark able woman. She was 49 when she became editor of Godey's Lady's book and she held that position for 40 years! America First What major town or city other than your birthplace did you see in America first? I was born in New York City. The first other major municipality I visited was Philadelphia. My father took me there when I was a very small lad. We went by trolley car. At that time so-called "Trolley Trips" were pop ular. One of the most popular was from New York to Phil adelphia. You took regular trol ly cars to Trenton, N. J. From there, as I recall it, you took a high speed interurban trolley. Sightseeing On my first visit to the quak er city my father started off by taking me to all the most im portant historical spots there. In the afternoon we went to the ball game because "Rube" Wad dell was pitching. Later we went to Fairmont Park. Sousa's band was playing there at the time. The concert was free. Among the things I took particular notice of on that first view of Philadelphia was the long rows of brick houses with white stoops. All exactly alike. Then I noticed the single track one way street cars. They went up one street and down an other. I was also especially im pressed with the food in Phil adelphia. Many menu items were native to the city. There should be a Philadelphia, cook book. Small City A small city I have always liked is Hartford, Conn. Have had many lively times there. When I was going to college nearby, the popular places for wining and dining In Hartford were Harry Bond's and Heub lein's. A very well patronized show 'shop was Poli's Vaudeville Campaign Limit Declared Too Low Washington (U.R) Sen. Al bert Gore (D-Tenn.) today termed unreasonably low a pro posed $20 limit on individual contributions to political cam paigns. The proposal was made by Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, in testi mony Tuesday before a Senate subcommittee on campaign spending. Gore is chairman of the subcommittee. The group today called for testimony from the national chairmen of the Democratic and Republican parties; from offic ials of advertising agencies for both parties; from Assistant At torney General Warren Olney and from Carleton G. Ketchum, Pittsburgh campaign fund rais er. GOP Chairman Leonard Hall and his Democratic counterpart, Paul Butler, were asked to re port on contributions received and expenditures made by their parties during September. Commenting on Reuther's pro posal, Gore said that he would prefer to bar all contributions to federal election campaigns and have the government foot campaign bills. But he said that idea was impractical in view of "complex and interlocking" connections between state and national campaigns. Ashland Man Injured At Target Practice Ashland Charles R. Moore. 25, of 324 Avery St., Ashland, suffered a leg wound just above the knee Saturday afternoon while he and Richard Eideman, Ashland, were target practicing at Emigrant lake, according to Ashland police. Moore and Eideman were shooting tin cans with a .22 pis tol near the lake when the pistol discharged, wounding Moore in the leg. theatre. Hartford was noted for its beautiful and amiable blondes. Boston The second big town I visited was Boston. I went there by steamer. Was on my way to prep school. I returned from Boston by train. That was the first time I travelled in a sleeper. I had an upper berth. Had a tough time getting undressed. Didn't sleep much. Was afraid I was going to fall out. Spent seven years in New England so I subsequently became very famil iar with Boston. Two of my best friends and close pals were from Dorchester. When I was 17 I tried to elope with a Brookline, Mass. girl who was 14. Her fath er caught us before we got start ed. The romance cooled shortly after. I forget why. Vive La France Another of my favorite small er municipalities in the days beyond recall was Holyoke, Mass. For a period I went to prep school near there. There was a large French population in Holyoke in those days. This included some especially smart looking, lively and shapely young women of French descent. At times when a fellow at school was asked, "where are you going?" He would answer, "to Holyoke! Vive La France!" Baltimore The first time I visited Balti more I was on my way to Bowie. I spent a Thanksgiving week end in Baltimore at the old Ren nert hotel. That hostelry was world famous for its food. It also had a celebrated oyster bar. I noticed then that Baltimore had long rows of brick houses just like Philadelphia. In Balti more the home owners seemed to be always cleaning the white stoops. Out West The first time I went from New York to Los Angeles was via the Panama Canal. From what I had read I thought the steamship docked right in the city. I was surprised to find the harbor was 25 miles from town. I had been told jl-os Angeles was a dull place largely inhabited by former residents of Iowa. I didn't find it dull. On the contrary, after four weeks in Los Angeles I iy..iisieisv . v s-k f jf i 4 "I'M CRAZY" Patricia Corcoran, 12, is led away handcuffed by police ma tron Marjorie Dodds in Oak land, Calif, after confessing hacking her aunt, Mrs. La vern Bunce, to death with two kitchen knives. She told police that she killed her aunt when questioned about a missing ?5 adding "I'm crazy." X-Ray Clinic Open Thursday Afternoon The chest x-ray clinic at the Sacred Heart hospital will be open from 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday, according to the Jackson County Public Health association. The Jackson County Public Health association maintains the x-ray because chest x-rays are one of the most efficient ways of detecting early tuberculosis, association officials said. Fifty per cent of people get ting chest x-rays do so because of their interest in good general health, they added.
