Dulles Archiiecl Of New Doctrine The chief product and export of American Samoa is copra. Washington U.R Secre-i tary of State John Foster Dul-j les was the principal architect j of the "Eisenhower Doctrine" to warn Russia bluntly to keep hands off the oil-rich Middle East. But like many an important policy the Dulles idea apparent ly is taking on the name of a president. From the minute the plan was privately unfolded it was labeled the "Eisenhower Doctrine." In the same fashion, the "Mon roe Doctrine" of 133 years ago retained the name of President James Monroe although John Quincy Adams, then secretary of state, was the principal author. And similarly the 1947 "Truman Doctrine" to save Greece and Turkey from Communism came while George C. Marshall was secretary, of state but kept Tru man name. The "Eisenhower Doctrine," being presented congressional leaders at a White House meet ing today, is designed to put Rus sia on notice that the United States will meet with force if necessary any Soviet aggres- Save at U.S. national Bank Beginning January 1, 1957, all savings accounts at U.S. National will earn VIi per cent interest 0 o interest Op)n or add to your saving, account by January 10.

The warning is to be coupled with an economic aid program for the Middle East, perhaps rang ing between $400 million and 5500 million. Dulles wants the pronounce ment to fill a growing power vacuum in the critical Middle East. The vacuum is developing because 3ritish-French influence which for years stablized the area, is rapidly decreasing. Dul les is afraid the Soviet Union will move into the vacuum un less she is warned away in advance. Tuesday, January I, 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL THIBTJNE ELEVEN Around Hollywood Hollywood (li.R) When the floats roll by the TV cameras, today in the Pasadena Tourna ment of Roses Parade, you may spot a quite, grav haired grand mother sitting on a street cor ner. A 1 t h ough Mrs. Isabelie Coleman looks as if she should Aline Mosbr be home knitting on the front porch, she's Pasadena's champion float-builder for the famous parade. Always Wins For more than 50 years she's designed and "produced" the mammoth display of flowers and every year since 1910 her floats have won at least one prize. This year she has six floats in the parade, and in view of the estim ated 60 million TV viewers for the event, she's a major TV "scenery" builder. The advent of TV to the Rose Parade has altered the floats. "This year some of my clients wanted their floats designed with TV in mind," Mrs. Colman said as she watched college students glue carnations onto one float before the parade began. "That means strong colors red, yellow, blue and definite outlines. Otherwise in the long shots you can't see what the float represents. "But other clients ignore TV and want their floats made of expensive flowers, which are the pastels orchids, roses and so forth." Her float for the city of Long leaiures a wnite swan By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent catch the TV cameras. Another Coleman float, for Occidental Life Insurance, consists of three 30-foot wide "flowers" made of hundreds of blossoms. Its pastel clors may be lost on TV but everybody tells her this will win a prize. Mrs. Coleman starts in June to design her floats. The clients ap prove her sketches. Then she hires workmen to construct the outline in chicken wire and metal rods over special body less automobiles in a huge quon set hut that is her workroom. Three days before the parade the spectators strip the floats and take home the blossoms." Since the Rose Parade has been shown on TV, viewers write Mrs. Coleman their sugges tions for the floats. Last year one man suggested she recon struct Yellowstone Park, com plete with geyser. "Now you know you can't put a geyser on a float," she sighed. Detroit Judge Gives Youth Time to Think Detroit iU.R) Judge Joseph Gillis put a 17-year-old boy, charged with a $25 larcey, un der a $25,000 bond. When the trial came up a week later, he explained the unusually high bond: "I wanted the lad to sit quiet ly in jail and think things over." The boy, who quit high school in the 12th grade, was asked if he knew the maximum penalty. "Yes sir, four years," he an swered. "That's right," the Judge re plied. "For what you gained, that works out to S6.50 a year, about 54 cents a month or 14 cents a week. You've already spent a week in jail. Your earn ing power isn't so good, is it." JPWIMIill Ft . .
