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.
