EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Senate Committee Could CutTask By Studying Book About Trujillo By A. HOBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington A Senate com mittee meets this week to begin what appears to be the perplex- ingly emotion al job of se 1 e c ting the five greatest men who have ever sat in that august chamber. Because of rivalries b e -tween states, between par A. Bobt Smith ties, between men of deep phil osophical dinerence, tne iasK seems to most observers im mensely difficult. What the com mittee perhaps should do first, under the chairmanship of Sen John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who author of the best seller "Pro files of Courage," is read a more recent book which this past week was received by every member of the Washintgcn press rorps . This book reveals that down in the Dominican Republic, the lawmakers never have any trou ble whatsoever deciding who is the greatest man ever to walk uDon their native soil. He is. of course. Generalissimo Rafael L. Trujillo, the hero of this slick ly covered edition. Greatest of All Not once but time and time again, the Dominican legislators have passed laws, decrees, reso lutions and ordered special med als struck for the great man. As a result, this man of humble be ginning, is today: "The most outstanding and greatest of all Dominican presi-1 Legislature Salem (U.R) The Oregon Senate has deferred action on Senate bill 301, which would give the public utility commis sioner authority to regulate rail road minimum freight rates as well as maximum, and made it a special order of business for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Also postponed was action on Senate bill 254, relating to the assessment and taxation of prop erty. It was made a special order of business for 2:30 p.m. Wednes day on motion cf Sen. Walter Pearson, who said the Senate Taxation Committee of which he is chairman wanted to take one more look at it before taking final floor action. Salem (U.R) A drastically al tered relative responsibility bill has passed the House and was sent to the governor for signa ture.

Main Medford rv HI MAIL TRIBUNE dents," by virtue of law No. 1515, passed in 1938. "Father of the New Nation," under law No. 4131, passed in 1955. He was already "benefactor of the country" for life, by a 1937 resolution, not to mention 50. other honors passed during the "era of Trujillo." The Trujillo biography tells a lot about the Dominican dicta tor and it shows him to be as pure as the white uniform in which he is pictured. For exam ple, one learns that at age 27, when he applied for a commis sion in the constabulary guard, Trujillo could boast that "I do not smoke or drink and have never been arrested even for minor infractions of the law." Wsuld Be Unjustified A major general who wrote the book's foreword started by declaring: "I had to muster all my courage in order to write the foreword of a book as important as this one, despite my limited ability to do so. This audacity of mine would be unjustified and would deserve whatever criti cisms might be forthcoming, were it not for my pure senti ments of loyalty and the enor mous gratitude which I feel" for Trujillo. After two pages in this vein, he said he will reserve his sentiments for a book of his own entitled, "Why I Love Trujillo." The Washington press corps, which is subjected to many at tempts every day to promote this cause or that individual, knows a slick promotion at sight. The consensus is that Trujillo fears for his reputation in the United States as result of the public in dignation over the Galindez and Briefs Democrat, said the bill was "next door" to repealing the cur rent act but said the welfare committee thought the more lib eral law should be kept on' the books. Salem (U.R) A more limited urban renewal bill passed the House with only two negative votes after the State and Federal Affairs Committee removed parts of the bill that caused it to fail on the House floor April 18. The bill, House bill 661, still provides that any Oregon city or county can initiate urban re newal programs with the aid of federal funds to clear their slums and rehabilitate blighted areas. Salem (U.R) Licensing of auctioneers and setting up of a State Board of Auctioneers was provided for in House bill 567 which has passed the House. The bill passed despite law yers, objections that it was un constitutional because it set out-of-state auctioneers fees at $250 a year while it taxed state res idents only $50.

Jury Hearing Testimony A grand jury here in Wash ington has recently been hearing testimony bearing on this case This could result in action to clip the wings of some of the agents of the Trujillo regime who func tion in his behalf here, getting military and economic aid from the American government to bol ster his Caribbean country. The Caribbean Library, a New York agency which circulated the book, sought to explain its shameless adulation of Trujillo by saying this "expression of joy" is felt to be necessary by his countrymen and to deprive his people of a legitimate pleas ure to save himself embarrass ment would be falsely hypocrit ical. For that matter, adulation of arather lavish variety flour ishes in the U.S. where it is of fered quite shamelessly to Ike Eisenhower, Elvis Presley and the whole Yankee ball team." Obviously, the Caribbean Li brary isn't in Brooklyn. Residents Urged To Obtain Data About Mosquitoes Residents of . Jackson county are being urged to obtain as much information as possible on control mosquitoes. ' In addition to being a nuis ance, mosquitoes, are a health hazard for humans and some animals. County Agent W. B. Tucker points out. Some species are carriers of diseases. Bulletin Suggested Experiment station bull etin 507, "Suggestions for Mosquito Control in Oregon" is a good source of information, Tucker said. The bulletin ' points out that any water remaining in 'a con tain for 10 days or longer may be a source of supply for brood ing mosquito larvae. Fish or lilly ponds, drainage areas for swim ming pools or infrequently used water troughs may be a suitable place for mosquito larvae dev elopment. Poorly drained soils that permit water to stand in pools along stream banks or res ervoirs and heavy clay type soils that are inadequately leveled or smoothed and permit potholes of standing water are constant sources of spread. Temporary Control Chemical t r e atment of im ponded water or fog applica tions' over mosquito infested areas offer only tempoary con trol, Tucker said. Real control can be secured only through an improved water management program. Such a program per mits all surface soils to be hand led in such a way that surface water is not permitted to re main standing for more than 10 days. Irrigation ditches and field laterals that are constructed on grade and are maintained free of cattails or grass weed growth that retard water movement of fer no hazards in mosquito con trol, according to the county agent. May To Be Warmer In Western Stales Washington (U.R) The Wea ther Bureau forecasts cooler than normal temperatures over the eastern third of the nation dur ing May, except in states border ing the Gulf of Mexico. Above normal temperatures were predicted for the western half of the country, except for the far Southwest which will ex perience below normal mercury readings. . The bureau noted that the May temperature pattern was a "ma jor reversal" from conditions during the last two weeks of April. Precipitation is expected to be subnormal over most of the coun try, compared to the generally wet weather of April. However, above normal amounts were fore cast for the northeast and far Southwest. The bureau said rains in cen tral and eastern Texas, which have been abnormally heavy, are expected to taper off to near or subnormal.

Polka-Dot Neckties Sidelight at Dinner The green and white polka dot necktie which has become the "trademark" and good luck symbol of Gov. G. Mennen Wil liams was a humorous sidelight of the seventh annual Roosevelt Memorial dinne- here Saturday evening. Michigan s chief executive de scribed how a photograph by a Life photographer got his start ed using the gay ties as symbols, and in his introductory remarks presented one to Gov. Robert Holmes of Oregon. Teatured in Decor Big green and white bow ties were a feature of the decorations, at the dinner, along with apple blossoms, Michigan's state flow er. One of the songs during the program, written by Mrs. Ed ward C. Kelly and her daughter Noreen, also was about the "man in the green and white tie." Governor Williams appeared at the dinner a dark suit and green and white polka-dot tie. His fondness for polka-dot ties has long been the target of jokes from his associates, he explain ed and he regards them as "good luck" pieces. He presented simi lar ties to Congress Charles O. Porter, master of, ceremonies for the program, and Mrs. Kelly, general chairman of the dinner. Green and white polka-dot paper ties were also used as table and platform decorations.

Arthur Larson, director of the U. S. Information Agency, took his case for restoration of a 26 per cent cut in his propaganda agency before the politically conscious National Press club. Secretary of State John Fost er Dulles went before a Senate appropriations subcommittee to plead for restoration of "the ma jority" of a $47 million cut in his department's $227 million re quest for the 12 months start ing July 1. The Senate subcommittee con sidering State Department and USIA funds is headed by Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. He told news men Monday his group will give a careful hearing to administra tion reasons for restoring the State Department cuts. But he made it clear the case must be convincing because "I have never seen the demand so strong for economy in govern ment."

Streptococcal Bacteria Sampling Shows Little Sign of Catastrophe By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Careful testing of a widespread samp ling of the steptococcal bacteria has revealed little sign of a cat astrophe which many medical scientists fear is coming sooner or later. The testing showed these sick ening, even killing, bacteria still are highly susceptible to the 11 antibiotics in common use. If and when streptococci and other sickening bacteria lose this sus sceptibility, the cat astrophe will be at hand. It will put people back where they were before antibiotics were discovered, that is, highly susceptible themselves but inad equately defended to the diffi-cult-to-treat and dangerous bac terial illnesses. How that could happen is for bacteria to learn to multiply themselves despite antibiotics. Races of these "resistant" bac teria have appeared but in bac terial tribes other than the strep tococci, which show it can hap pen and gave rise to fears of all bacteria learning how.'- Drs. Wilfred F. Jones Jr. and Maxwell Finland of Harvard and Harry A. Feldman of the State University of New York, Syracuse, isolated 394 different strains of streptococci from pa tients. These they cultivated in laboratory dishes. To each dish of each strain they added an antibiotic in a tiny amount and kept increasing the amount until bacterial act tivity was stopped. This they re peated with each strain with each of the 11 antibiotics. In this way they established the range of susceptibility of each strain to each antibiotic American, Korean Wife Disappear Hong Kong (U.R) An Am erican businessman vanished on April 27 with his Korean wife and baby in the Portuguese col ony of Macao, police disclosed today.

The 11th, bacitracin, was less effective against the group B. C. and G. streptococci than against those of group A. The scientists put the 10 gen erally effective antibiotics In the following order of effective ness: Results Compared Penicillin, erythromycin, car bomycin, oxytetracycline, chlor-tetrs-cycline, tetracycline, chlor amphenicol, streptomycin, neo mycin, and polymyxin. But of most interest was their comparison of these results with the results of identical tests with strains of streptococci is olated in 1949. This comparison showed that the newer strains of the bacteria were "somewhat less susceptible" than the 1949 strains had been to penicillin, chlortetracycline, chloramphen icol, and bacitracin. The power of streptomycin and polymyxin was not changed. The other an tibiotics were not tested in 1949.
