BY MARTIN HEEHWALD United Press Correspondent Seattle (U.PJ A political can didate can't find a much tougher assignment than to go after the Job of a popular incumbent who never has lost an election. Washington's Gov. Arthur B. Langlie didn't ask for such a task but he accepted it when President Eisenhower personally tabbed him as the man most likely to oust Democrat Warren Magnuson from the U. S. Senate. On of Key Contests Democrats and Republicans alike consider this one of the key senatorial contests on whose ( jtcome depends control of the Senate. Mr. Eisenhower came here Wednesday to give Lang lie support. It looks like the GOP con vention keynoter will need it. In the state primary, with both men unopposed, Magnuson out polled Langlie by more than 150,000 votes. After that jolt, Langlie went on the offensive, declaring he had "been in some dlllies before" but never looked forward to a fight with such en thusiasm and delight. Issues Stressed The race bears some Interest ing resemblances to the tech lnques being employed at pres idential level by Mr. Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevenson. Magnuson, who has spent 20 of his 51 years in Congress, is campaigning "strictly on the is sues" and on his record. He says nothing when Langlie attacks him but leaves such infighting replies to his supporters. The 56-year-old Langlie, him self the state's only three-rterm governor, is out to convince the Washington electorate that Mag nuson's record is a "myth" created by a highly efficient publicity staff." He maintains Convair Mainliners To Replace DC-3s Twin-engine Convair Main liners, capable of traveling 270 miles per hour, will replace all United Air Lines DC-3 equip ment between Mcdford and Seattle-Tacoma. beginning Oct. 28, according to K. W. Cook, UAL station manager for Med ford. ; The Douglas DC-3, powered with two 1.200 horsepower twin row engines, was introduced to the UAL system in 1937. The company's original DC-3 fleet consisted of 50 planes. The most In operation at any time has been 65. The DC-3 planes are now be ing sold, Cook explained, with business firms purchasing a great number of them. Convair flights will leave Medford at 7 a.m., arriving in Portland at 9:10 a.m., and Seattle-Tacoma at 10:20 a.m. Stops will be made in Eugene and Salem. Evening return service pro vides departure from Seattle Tacoma at 6:15 p.m. and Port land at 7:30 pjn., with arrival In Mcdford at 9:30 p.m. En route stops will be made at Salem and Eugene. ' Felled Tree Refuses To Remain Felled; . Uprights Self Later O. L. Williams, who operates the Utopia motel on South Riverside ave.. recently had - some large Cottonwood trees removed from near the build ings. - During the process of pull ing the iTeet ever, the top of one of them broke of twice and workmen had difficulty in pulling it over. The area around the chopped roots was soaked, and workmen were successful in pulling over the tree. Later a motel guest start ing across the area where the trees were being removed, heard a swoosh. - The roots of the tree had settled back into the hole from which the tree had been pulled, with the 15-foot trunk " back in position. Apparently, the top became lighter than the base, caus ing the tree trunk to upright itself about four hours after workmen had pulled it down. The usual life expectancy of a rat is 18 months. when you drive the '57 PLYMOUTH suddenly it's I960 Magnuson takes credit for serv ices he does not perform and tried to be "all things to all men." Departing from political is sues, Langlie has sought to in troduce one related to Magnu son j private life. Himself a tee totaler, the governor alleges that one "Magnuson for senator" cocktail -party cost $2,000 and that a Seattle financier picked up the entire check. Magnuson Criticised Langlie also criticizes the sen ator for owning 540,000 worth of stock in a Seattle radio sta tion which is involved in a con test before the Federal Com munications Commission. Lang glie points out Magnuson heads a Senate committee which rec- FCC Magnuson's campaign c ha 1 r- man Henry B. Owen, replied that what Langlie charges, "to borrow a phrase from the Pres ident, is wicked nonsense." He pointed out that 27 members of Congress have radio or TV in terests and that the late Sen. Robert A. Taft was a frequent applicant before the FCC. . Both men have early political starts. Magnuson was elected to the State Legislature in 1932. Langlie won a seat on the Seattle City Council in 1934 and soon after was elected mayor. Langlie is a grandfather, Mag nuson a bachelor. They are even on one score. Each has a Scan dinavian name. This according to the experts, is worth at least ommends appropriations for the '30.000 votes in Washington. Four Are Fined on Driving Charges Dayton Murray Cooper, 41, of 263 Gibson St., Talent; John Lawrence Machunkashey, 22, of 675 East Main St., Ashland, and Melvin Wilbert Harvey, 32, of 613 Newtown st., Medford, were fined S255 each in district court by Judge Rawles Moore Wednes day. The three pleaded guilty to driving while under the influ ence of. intoxicating liquor. They were each given suspended 3u days jail sentences during good behavior and each had their state operator's licenses sus pended for 90 days. Harry Woodman Hamilton, 61, Camp White, was fined S255 this morning on a charge of driv ing while intoxicated. - His dri ver's license was suspended for 90 days and he was given a sus pended 30-day jail sentence. Hamilton originally pleaded in nocent to the charge and later changed his plea to guilty. Stevenson's H-Bomb Plan Gets Support of Reuther Detroit (U.PJ United Auto Workers President Walter P. Reuther says Adlai Stevenson's plan to ban H-bomb tests will not jeopardize or interfere with this nation's atomic research program. Reuther said the Stevenson plan showed the type of leader ship the world needs "to end the H-bomb rat race" and warned that "people who talk of massive retaliation are playing with reck les. dangerous politics." THE MISSING RETURNS Rock Falls, Wis. (U.PJ When Mrs. Walter Norrish opened her mail recently she unwrapped a handbag that had been missing for 12 years.

Berlin Night Club Offers Choice Spot With Convenience for Making Pick-Up By JOSEPH FLEMING United Press Staff Correspondent Berlin ;U.R) Some 2.000 lonely people play "postoffice'' in public here every night. American GIs, foreign tourists and Berliners ranging from com pany directors to housemaids join in the game. It is played in a big West Berlin night club called The Resi. At The Resi there are no dancing girls, no floorshows. The attraction is the pickup pickups dignified by custom and the fact that everyone else is doing it. Phone at Each Table The night club's tables are arranged around a dance floor in tiers. At each table is a dial telephone and there is a pneu matic tube nearby. Each table is marked by 'a lighted number large enough to be seen across the room so that it is easy to determine that the slender blonde sitting alone is at table 12 or the two American soldiers obviously looking for girls at table 23. Number Please . . By simply dialing number 12 or sending a note through the pneumatic tube addressed to table 12, a gentleman can ask the blonde for a date. She can look across the room, size him up and answer "Yes" or "No." Or two German girls can call the GIs at table 23 and offer TOY BANK ADVICE Cambridge, O. (U.R) George Whitis, who makes a hobby of collecting old toy banks, says they should never be repaired or painted because it decreases their value as collector's items. Whitis has 150 banks in his col lection. His prize is one repre senting "Boss" Tweed, an Amer ican politician of the late 19th Century. The bank was patent ed in 1873. Approximately 220.000 Tex ans are employed in the state's petroleum industry which boasts an annual payroll of about $1 billion. their company for the evening. Language rarely is a barrier. Most GIs know enough German to ask for a dance. And, in my case, the German words for dance and drink are so similar to the English that understand ing flourishes. The telephone calls are direct and uncensored, but the notes pass through a central "post office" where they are read for content. Resi manager Walter Lowenthal says not more than 30 of the average 1.200 mes sages sent nightly are destroyed because of indecency. No Language Barrier read German, English and French. If they are in Italian, Spanish or Porguguese, Lowen thal is called for because he reads all three. Many times the girls are the ones who make the overtures since women still outnumber men in Berlin and continental women are less reticent than Americans about taking the in itiative. Are you a stranger in Berlin? Are you lonely? Do you want to meet a member of the op posite sex? Or do you simply want to dance? The Resi is the answer. But The clerks in the postoffice what a place for wiretappers? Quotes From the Nevs By UNITED PRESS London Sir Gerald Kelly, artist and former president of Lon don's Royal academy, on the difficulty of taking a quiet vacation anywhere: "There are far too many people in. the world.
