Are Beards Coming Back?
Commander Whitehead is a real man whose dis
tinguished appearance has been utilized by some of
Madison avenue's smarter characters to sell a certain
brand of mixer. (Reports we have received indicate
he's really selling it, too.)
Commander Whitehead is featured in a series of
ads which are part of a phase the industiy is now
going through. Others of the genre are the shirt ads
(the good-looking gent with the eye-patch) and the
cocktail ads (ill-assorted public figures in surrealistic
and colorful backgrounds).
What set? Commander Whitehead apart is his
magnificent, long, reddish beard.
TJE HAS started a pattern within a pattern in adver
tising, and other outfits are capitalizing on
beards.
Will this have an historic significance on the
adornment of the average man? In short, are. beards
coming back?
Art Rubin, editor of a barbers' trade magazine,
says they are back in vogue. This may be, but there's
little evidence of it or the streets of Medford as yet.
Maybe some brave soul will make the first plunge,
and maybe other brave souls will follow his lead.
If he does, and they do, they will have long,
ample and honorable precedent to follow, for beards
have been "the thing" about as often in history as
have shaven faces.
YJUY do men grow beards? It may be simply a
sign of non-conformism. Or it may be laziness
(self-defeating, for tending of a beard, we are told,
is more work than shaving). Or, in a bearded nation,
it may be custom men grow beards for the same
reason that in this countiy men are mostly clean
shaven. One psychiatrist is quoted to the effect that
growing a beard represents "modem man's attempt
to regain his once-dominant position in society over
women."
That's as may be, although we have a hunch that
if beards ever become truly popular with women, they
will show up wilh more frequency on the faces of
men, and the total will exceed the 200,000 American
men who, the Barber's Journal estimates, now pam
per hair on their faces. E.A.
In TTie Pocketbook
The recent announcement; of increases in auto
mobile liability insurance premiums has caused con
siderable discussion throughout the state.
The Oregonian declared that it is not right to
charge careful drivers the same as careless or reck
less minors who drive. But an insuranceman we
know says that's silly, that
to spread the losses of the
premiums of the many.
He says the Oregonian's
mean that people who never have fires should pay
less for insurance than those who have had a fire. The
result would be that insurance would be prohibitive
for some, very little for others. And presumably it
would be the most prohibitive for those who need it
most badly.
TTHE reasons for the ratet
uiiu, aiiu liic cclciu iiiouiaiicc iiiiuiuiaiiiuii
Service gives them this way:-
"The number of traffic accidents on the West Coast has
increased every month for the past 18 months; repair and
replacement costs have skyrocketed, with fender repairs
running up to $100, bumper replacements costing over $60
compared to S5 in 1940, and windshield replacements
amounting to as much as $125; medical and hospital costs
have gone up with the cost of living; claim settlements
for traffic accidents are 41 per cent higher today than they
were only five years ago; jury awards in traffic cases have
Increased an average of 230 per cent in the past 15 years."
That makes out quite a case.
A ND it boils down to the fact that a small minority
of the drivers are costing all the rest of the driv
ers more money. It is an argument aimed at that
tender spot, the pocketbook for stiffer licensing
regulations, tougher enforcement and penalties,, and
increased emphasis on traffic safety.
It has been said repeatedly that driving is a
privilege and not a right. That was never truer than it
is on today's crowded highways.
Maybe the rate increase (which was general
throughout the state except for a few favored areas
with good accident experience, and which was
tougher on young, unmarried men than on others)
will go further toward accomplishing true traffic
safety than the horrible toll of accidents, which has
been so widely publicized. E.A.
Older Ones, Too
Reports of the first two days' success in the medi
cal profession's drive to vaccinate against polio all
young people in the county are encouraging. There is
every reason to hope that the success will continue,
for this is the way that polio, the crippler and the
killer, will be wiped out perhaps, if we're lucky,
this year.
But none of us should forget that older people,
too, can get polio, and that they can receive the same
degree of immunity from the vaccine as can the
youngsters.

U.N. Algerian Vote Scheduled;

By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
France is preparing to put its
friendship with the United States
and other Western countries to
the test in a

bate, against French opposition,
at the demand of the "anti-colonial"
bloc of Asian and African
nations.
The Assembly can take no ef
fective action on the issue. But
to France, a vote in favor of
the demand of Algerian nation
alists for complete independence
would be a defeat of the great
est importance.
Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
Washington Secretary of State John Foster Dulles explaining

"I don't think we can act to help protect a country unless it
wants to be protected. We can act in our own interest."

Educator Says Large
Influence Exerted by
U.S. in Australia
America has long exerted a
tremendous influence over the
people of Australia, according
to Professor Leonard Watts of
Melbourne, Australia.
In a luncheon address before
the Medford Rotary club at the
Jackson hotel Tuesday Prof.
Watts, currently a member of
the faculty of Southern Oregon
college, pointed out that his
countrymen patterned their gov
ernmental system, in a measure,
after that of the U.S., and Aus
tralia's educational program had
felt the "pressure" of American
methods of education.
"Even the Crosbys and Sina
tras have influenced the youth
of Australia, and probably by
this time the impact of Presley
has been felt," Watts said.
Greatest Mark
The greatest mark of America
upon the life of Australia came
with World War II, when GIs
swarmed to the south Pacific
to stem the Japanese invasion.
Australians will always . feel a
debt of gratitude to the U.S. for
turning the Japs away at the
very doorstep of their country,
Prof. Watts said.
Australia is a free country,
Prof. Watts emphasized. While
tl.e queen of England is the
nominal head of the nation, the
loyalty is purely symbolic. Eng-

U.S.-French Ties
Premier Guy Mollet and For
eign Minister Christian Pineau
are trying to line up all the
countries they can, concentrat
ing on those of Western Europe
and the Western Hemisphere, on
France's side.
Of all the countries in the
U.N., the attitude of the United
States is of most importance to
France.
Relations Already Strained
If the United States does not
support France, the relations be
tween the two traditional allies,
severely strained by the Suez
Canal dispute, will dive to a
new low.
Algeria is the most important
unit in the French Union the
French Empire, it used to be
called.
It occupies an area of 847,500
square miles in North Africa. Of
its population, 8.3 million are
Moslems, 1.2 million French.
The Algerian issue has been
raised repeatedly in the U.N. but

The country also has no racial
problem despite the fact that
300,000 aborigines inhabit the
north and west areas. Likewise,
Australia has no threat of Com

party has ever held a post in

Constitution To Form
New State Set Up
Yreka ' An organizational
constitution proposing to set up
a separate state, Superior Cali
fornia, was adopted at a meet
ing of northern California citi
zens in Dunsmuir Sunday.
A united front presented by
southern California legislators
spurred reactivation and prepa
rations for expansion of the pro
visional state of Shasta.
SuDerior California would its-
elude the five northern Cali
fornia counties proposed for the
state of Shasta as well as the
area south to the Tehachapi
mountains.
Beverly Mason and Pat Han-

France refuses to recognize the
competence of the U.N. even to
debate the issue.
The reason is that, legally, Al
geria is not a colonial possession.
It is officially a part of France
itself. It is represented in the
French Parliament.
An Internal Matter
France points out that the U.N.
charter specifies that none of
its provisions "authorize the
U.N. to intervene in matters
which are essentially within the
jurisdiction of any state.
The United States government
is represented as believing that
if it supported France its
"moral" position would be weak
ened among the "neutralist"
countries and in the Middle East.
It is said that the American
stand against Russian interven
tion in Hungary also would be
weakened.
How the brutal Russian inter
vention in a foreign country can
be compared to France's position
on Algeria it is somewhat diffi
cult to see.
Whatever the rights or wrongs
in the situation may be, how
ever, France will regard a vote
against it in the U.N. as an un
friendly act.

Law Officers Praised
To the Editor: Jan. 13 was
surely our lucky day, bringing
news via the MT that Donald
Ambuehl was found guilty and
stopped in his possession, han
dling and control of narcotics,
thanks to the good and vigilant
work of former District Attor
ney Walter Nunley, Deputy A.
Allen Franzke, Police Chief
Champlain and his officers, and
state police. The way the de
fense was being maneuvered
had us all worried for fear that
Ambuehl might be allowed to go
free and continue with his pos
session and handling of narcot
ics as proven at the trial.
There has been considerable
in news releases of narcotic ped
dling among high school and col
lege students. But diligent in
quiry here that included mem
bers of our own families, has dis
closed none at all. But this does
not mean that we can sit back
and "rest on our oars."
Any least bit of tangible in
formation should be relayed to
our police which might mean
the stopping of the evil narcotic
traffic before it gets started.
The unanimous verdict of the
jury is especially heartening. It
has long been my belief that
goodness of heart reigns in the
majority of mankind. It is also
my belief, at least my hope, that
the same thing holds true in the
legal profession.

Accident, Violent
Deaths Show Rise
Accident and violent deaths,
which include suicides and homi
cides, increased from 33 in 1955
to 53 in 1956, according to the
annual report of the Jackson
county health department. Vio
lent deaths ranked third in
causes of death during the year.
Total number of deaths last
year was 604, an increase of 35
over 1955.
Heart and circulatory condi
tions accounted for 332 dea-hs
with cancer and tumors ranking
second with 90.
During the same period 1,453
births were recorded in the
county which is 3 more than- in
1955. Of the number, 736 were
male and 717 female. The Ash
land district registered 221
births.
The death rate for 1956 was
per 1,900 pepeiation
Other causes of deaths includ
ed respiratory diseases, 47; early
infancy, 24; diseases of the ur
inary system, 23; diseases of di
gestive system, 10; and natural
causes, 8. Also listed were tu

than three years, the report
showed.

Writers List Budget
Background Figures,
Position of U.S. Debt
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.R) Speaking
of the dangers of inflation and
the high cost of government, as
President E l s
enhower was
doing today in
his budget mes
sage, here are
some off - beat
facts and fig
ures: The Tax
Foundation, 30
Rockefe Her
Center, New
Lyle C. Wilson.
York, recently calculated that
the number of persons on the
United States government pay
roll exceeds the population of
Sweden; 7.4 million and 7.2 mil
lion, respectively.
On a rough estimate of $3,500
as the average annual cost of a
government employee, the fed
eral payroll would be about $26
billion.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D.-Va.)
has heckled presidents for years
to cut the federal payroll. This
is the straightest road to , econ
omy, says Byrd. The trend
seems, however, to be against
him. A news item reported this
week that some corridors in the
enormous Pentagon building
here were being partitioned to
make more desk room for more
government workers.
Deficit Financing Responsible
World War II and the Roosevelt-Truman
polices of deficit
financing substantially increased
the public debt during the past
quarter century. The annual in
terest on the public debt increas
ed from $689 million in 1933,,
when FDR took over, to $7 bil
lion in 1956.
The debt has increased from
Governors Better
Bets as Nominees
Than Are Senators
Washington (CQ) History
may hold the solution to the
mystery surrounding the sur
prise announcement of Sen. Wil
liam F. Knowland (R.-Calif.) that
he will quit the Senate when his
current term expires in 1958;
If, as many suppose, he in
tends to run for governor of Cal
ifornia that year, he is playing
the historic odds on the way to
win the Presidency.
The odds are roughly 8 to 1 in
favor of a governor rather than
a senator drawing the Presiden
tial nomination.
Only One Senator
Congressional Quarter ly's
check of the records since 1912
shows only one sitting Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio
has been tapped by his party for
the big prize. Harding was nomi
nated by the Republicans and
elected in 1920.
In that same period, eight gov-
e r n o r s received Presidential
bids. They are Republicans
Charles Evans Hughes (N.Y.), Al
fred M. Landon (Kan.) and Tho
mas E. Dewey (N.Y.); Democrats
Woodrow Wilson (N.J.), James
M. Cox (Ohio), Alfred E. Smith
(N.Y.), Franklin D. Roosevelt
(N.Y.) and Adlai E. Stevenson
(111.).
Senators, oh the other hand,
have a better chance at the Vice
Presidential nomination than do
governors. Since 1912, eight Sen
ators and only five Governors
have been named for second
place on the GOP or Democratic
ticket.
Two Become VP
One governor, Calvin Cool
idge, and one Senator, Harry S.
Truman, elected as Vice Presi
dents, became Presidents after
their running mates Harding
and Roosevelt died. Each won a
single ieris in his own right.
Under the terms of the 22nd
amendment, which went Into ef
fect in 1951, a Vice President
who succeeds to the Presidency
in the first half of his term can
seek election as President only
once.
For whatever it may be worth,
the survey also show that since
1912 no Vice President has been
nominated by his party for the
Presidency without first occu
pying that office after the death
of his predecessor.

War I, to nearly $275 billion to
day. The interest is a first charge
on Treasury revenue each year.
wnen the Treasury comes up
at fiscal year-end with a surplus,
which hasn't been often for
many years, the administration
must decide whether to cut taxes
or nibble at the public debt. It is
a hard choice.
May Set Record
The returns will not be in on
President Eisenhower's first four
years of tax collecting until the
present fiscal year ends on June
30. He is averaging around $70
billion a year, however, which
may give him a peacetime rec
ord when all the returns are in.
Mr. Eisenhower was in the
red for a couple of years, but
balanced the budget with a sur
plus to boot in fiscal 1956. He
expects to repeat in the current
fiscal year. The public debt has
increased about $9 billion since
he took over in 1953.
From 1933, when FDR enter
ed the White House office, to the
end of the Truman administra
tion, the public debt increased
from $22.5 billion to $266 bil
lion. In 20 Roosevelt-Truman
years, the budget was in balance
with a surplus three times and
17 times m the red. World War
II was partly responsible for all
of this.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Hope of mankind note:
The United States was to place
its new disarmament proposals
before the United Nations Mon
day. They were to be presented
to the, UN assembly s political
committee by Chief U.S. Dele
gate Henry Cabot Lodge.
TT would be wonderful if all
the nations of the earth could
agree to lay aside their arms
forevermore AND THEN
KEEP THE AGREEMENT.
But it is at least worth while
to remember that 28 years ago
on Jan. 15. 1929 the United
States senate ratified the Kel-logg-Briand
treaty to outlaw
war.
TT will take more than treaties
to stop wars.
I'm afraid wars will go on as
long as ambitious and unscrupu
lous men strive for' power at any
cost.
ONE more thought:
If the United States had
disarmed back in 1929 and other
nations hadn't, there would now
be no United States.
SO much for idealistic philos
ophyand what comes of it.
Let's now take a look at the
weather.
The coldest weather of the
winter is reported in New Eng
land, with Caribou, Maine, hold
ing the record low 39 below
zero. Temperatures all over the
state were well below zero.
That brings out an interest
ing tale. In Maine's largest city,
Portland, police report one of
the quietest nights in history.
Not a single report of crime of
any kind was received by the
city's police department.
If we could put all our crim
inals in cold storage, we might
have a perfect world.
TT doesn't seem to work every-
where, however.
