Contributors io Heart Fund Drive Receive Thanks By LAWRENCE S. HORTON Medford Heart Chairman Robert W. Ruhl and the Mail Tribune deserve special recogni tion for their financial and pub licity support of the 1957 Heart Fund Educational and Fund Raising campaign conducted dur ing February. Many other people have recognized the worthiness of research for heart diseases and made it possible for the Medford area contributions to exceed those in 1956 by nearly 50 per cent. The total is expected to reach $5,000 for Jackson county for 1957. Other support of the Heart Fund came from a special gifts committee composed of Glenn Jackson, vice president and sales manager of the California Ore ' gon Power company; G. W. Kel lington, president of Jackson County Bar association; Dr. Os car Heyerman, director of the Oregon Heart association; and Dr. Duane Nelson, president of the Southern Oregon Dental association. Volunteer Ladies Heart Sunday was conducted under the direction of Margaret Heisel and her force of volunteer ladies' who braved a deluge of wet weather and wind to call on nearly every home in Med ford Feb. 24. Despite rain and mud, citizens of Medford greeted these workers with contributions that exceeded the previous year by several hundred dollars. It is wonderful to be able to thank each of the more than 300 vol unteers for their participation. Other support of the solicita tion portion of the campaign came from Harry Marshall, Med ford real estate salesman; Wayne Struble, architect, and the 20-30 service club. These people com prised the bulk of the business solicitations. They were under the direction of Charles Parker, J. C. Penney department head. Publicity Support Publicity support was also do nated by television station KBES-TV and radio stations KMED. KYJC, and KBOY. Al lan Hunt, Bear Creek Orchards, did an inspiring job with these organizations and the news paper. The Oregon Public Health as sociation television show on Sunday, Feb. 17 under the direc tion of Dr. Ralph Hibbs with sev- j eral other doctors and "Pinky" McDougal participating gave further insight to heart surgery. 1 McDo.al is Jackson county's most recent example of the re sults of advances in research in heart surgery. The surgeons skills replaced one of his heart valves with a plastic one to en acre this young man to partici pate in physical activities as though nothing had happened. Important Phase One of the more important phases of the Heart Fund activi ties in Medford is that of the memorial gifts. Many people in this area remember their loved ones through gifts to the Heart association at the time of death or on some anniversary. These gifts are being received by Mrs. Marina Gates. California Oregon Power company, throughout the entire year. She notifies the family of the gift and forwards the money to the Oregon Heart association where it is used entirely for research to overcome heart diseases. The above mentions a few of the people who participated un selfishly in tne work of obtain ing" funds for control of Ameri ca ca's number one killer, heart disease. There are many more such as Dwight Houghton, U.S. National bank, Medford Heart Fund treasurer, and other vol unteers who made this 1957 Heart Fund drive successful. Contributions may still be made by those who would still like to participate. Langley Invokes Fifth Amendment 10 Times in 10 Minutes at Rackets Hearing Festival Mailing Questionnaire Cards Ashland Survey question naire cards are being mailed to representative residents and merchants in the Medford-Ash- land area by the Oregon Shake spearean Festival association. Purpose of the cards is to en able the festival association to better evaluate future develop ments in southern Oregon, ac cording to William Patton, gen eral manager. The festival board of directors is interested in keeping the event closely allied with inter ests of the people in this region from both an economic and pro duction standpoint, he said. The board believes the best way to accomplish this is by writing directly to individuals represent ing various segments of the pop ulation and asking for answers to specific questions regarding the festival. It is hoped that sufficient ftimbers of the questionnaire xards will be returned to provide a valid basis for judging re plies. Two thousand cards are being mailed today in an intro ductory survey. If this is succesful, a survey of larger proportions and wide spread geographical scope may be considered by the festival as sociation, Patton stated. Washington (U.R) District Attorney William M. Langley, 40, of Portland, invoked the Fifth Amendment today and re fused on grounds of possible self incrimination to tell Senate in vestigators when he first met racketeer James E. Elkins. Langley invoked the Fifth Amendment 10 times in the first 10 minutes of his testimony be fore the Senate Rackets Com mittee. Clenching his hands in his lap, and responding to the questions in a monotone, Langley refused to say: Whether he knew Elkins. Whether he knew Thomas E. Maloney, Seattle gambler and associate of Teamsters' Union officials. Whether he knew Joseph P. McLaughlin, identified as a Seattle gambler. Whether he knew Clyde Crosby, international agent for the Teamsters Union. Admits Knowing Mayor Whether he had any inter est in gambling operations when he ran for district attorney in 1949 (the year he was defeated). Whether he had ever been associated with Elkins in a gam bling operation. (Elkins has testified that he was a partner' with Langley In a gambling joint known as the Chinese Lantern). Langley did tell the commit tee that he knew Mayor Terry Schrunk of Portland. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) of the Senate Rackets Committee asked Langley if he "honestly" believed "truthful" answers would incriminate him. The district attorney replied that "in this setting the answers might tend" to do so. Under Indictment Committee members quizzed Langley on what he meant by this setting. Langley explained that he was under three indictments in Ore gon, that statements 'had been made before the committee in volving him, and that he felt the best place to settle the charges were in the Oregon courts. Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.), explained that the committee liked to ask its questions alone, not through some third party. Langley said he didn't want to give the impression that he was "shutting off the committee entirely." But he would be the sole judge of what questions he would answer and would give no in formation on any which he felt would tend to incriminate him. Testifies to Conspiracy Elkins has testified that he conspired with Langley, Team sters Union officials and Seattle racketeers to control Portland's vice and gambling after Langley was elected district attorney of Multnomah County, Ore., with Teamsters Union backing. Elkins later fell out with his alleged confederates. The slim and handsome Lang ley, a boyish-looking figure in a light brown suit, was the first witness as the committee resum ed hearings after the sensation al arrest of James R. Hoffa, a high teamster official, on a charge of bribing a committee investigator to steal official docu ments. Langley faced questioning on why the Teamsters Union al legedly paid his lawyer $5,000. Arretted at Hotel FBI agents arrested Hoffa at a swanky hotel here Wednesday night after working with the committee for a month to lay a trap baited with specially pre pared committee documents. The FBI said the committee papers were found in his posses sion. At the same time the FBI ar rested a one-time congressional committee counsel, Hyman I. Fischbach, in Coral Gables, Fla., and Hoffa's secretary, Mrs. Fred Dobrescu, in Detroit. It charged Fischbach with bribery and held Mrs. Dobrescu as a material wit ness. Fischbach 'Contact' Man Hoffa was arrested shortly be fore midnight as he entered an elevator at the DuPont Plaza Hotel where he has a suite. G-Men husteled him before U.S. Commissioner James Splain for arraignment on the bribery charge. The FBI charged him with of fering New York attorney John Cye Cheasty $18,000 to secure a job with the rackets committee to filch documents from its files on its sensational investigation of the Teamsters Union. The FBI said Cheasty, who cooperated with the committee and FBI from the start, actually received payments of $1,000 and $2,000 from Hoffa. A committee spokesman said Fischbach scheduled to be ar raigned today in Miami was the "original contact" man be tween Cheasty and Hoffa. Fisch bach, a Miami attorney, was counsel for a special House sub committee set up in 1950 to in vestigate crime in the District of Columbia.
