U.S. Dollar May Look
As Bad As Cancer If

United Press Correspondent
Washington W Closer to
home and pocket than nuclear
fa 1-oj or the effect of tobacco
smoke on the
human lung is
that beautiful
item, the
United States
dollar.

clear fallout. There is nothing
'tractive about lung cancer.
That beautiful United States
dollar is going to look as bad as
either or both of the foregoing
if the present trend of creeping
inflation continues. Inflation is
a collect word which doesn't
mean much to living Americans
because they never have beer,
up against hat the word signi
fies. Outruns Eeiy)hing
The word signifies a situation
in which money goes bad goes
so bad that shopkeepers don't
want it, so bad that waiters pre
fer a cigaret to money as a tip,
bad enough that a man with a
pocketful of dollars might die
of starvation while gazing into
a food storeowindow

When inflation really gets go
ing in a national economy it
outruns everything. Not even
the most generous employer
with the fattest purse can raise
his employees' salaries fast
enough to provide a living wage.
The first babies to whimper for
food and finally to starve to
death are the children of persons
on fixed incomes. Trie first
adults to go are pensioners and
others whose incomes also are
fixed.
Inflation is deadly stuff, like
cancer and, maybe, more than
fallout deformities. The infla
tion of currency is reflected in
a steadily descending purchas
ing power of money. It can be a
slow and gradual process as
presently in the United States,
or it can strike with snake sud
denness after some national
catastrophe, such as defeat in
war.
Lilt a Snowball
Gradual inflation is like a
down hill snowball. It picks up
speed or momentum, and if it
picks up enough it becomes un
controlled inflation. That is the
point of no return. Beyond that
point lies immeasurable human
suffering and absolute economic
chaos.
There is an inflation snowball
in the United States today and
it is rolling down hill accumulat
ing speed. The grade is not yet
very steep and the point of no
return still is some distance in
the future, just how far being
I a matter of considerable dls
! pute.
: The United Press reported
! from Washington on May 24 that
the cost of living rose to an
J other record high in April.
If that trend long continues
the rate of inflation or reduction
! in the dollar's purchasing pow
I er may be expected to acceler-
ate to 1 per cent, 2 per cent
I even 10 per cent a month.
Penny by penny, the dollar's
value would shrink until, final
ly, a dollar would buy nothing
at all.
At that point of no return
the American way of life will
have had it.
Trial of Gypsy's
Charges Delayed
Portland IP Trial sched
uled for tomorrow on charges j
oy a Jfortland Gypsy woman that
Mayor Terry Schrunk and four
members of the city council
were guilty of discrimination in
forcing her and other Gypsies
from their downtown Portland
living quarters has been de-
layed.
Chief United States District
Judge Claude McColloch gave
attorneys for both sides addi
tional time to prepare cases after
Mrs. Mary Ristick substituted
j a complaint to include the mayor
and four councilmen instead of
Portland as a corporate entity.
Schrunk and the councilmen
Thursday filed a motion in fed
eral court to dismiss Mrs. Ris
tick's suit. The officials claimed
Mrs. Ristick had failed to show
which constitutional right she
claims would be violated by her
eviction from a dwelling which
the city has said does not com
ply with the sanitary code.
Recent censue reports show 40
cities in the world with one mil
lion or more persons.

resident of a duplex next to the
home occupied by Albert Wach
smuth, yesterday filed suit
against 10 policemen for S100,
000 as a result of a gunbattle be
tween Wachsmuth and officers
' Feb. 22.
Wachsmuth shot and killed
State Police Officer Charles
Sanders and critically wounded
Deputy Sheriff David Heffner

negligent in not insuring his
safety. He was forced to stay in
his half of the duplex and
claimed he was injured by tear
gas and suffered injuries to his
nervous system. He said bullets
and tear gas shells penetrated
his apartment numerous times.
Named as defendants were
Lane County Sheriff Ed Elders,
State Police Sgt. Robert Baker
and eight other law enforcement
officers. Graves also seeks S10,
000 damages from an insurance
company which bonded Sheriff

Mayflower Cargo of
'Treasure' Unloaded
Plymouth, Mass. (IP) The
crew of the Mayflower II today
began unloading its cargo of 92
"treasure" chests. They include
animal feed for President Eis
enhowers Gettysburg farm.
The chests, weighing up to
500 pounds each, contained
5200,000 worth of items ranging
from Mayflower II construction
chips to snuff boxes.
Warwick Charlton, one of the
British sponsors of the May
flower's 54 - day trans-Atlantic
voyage, carried off the boat a
gold medallion with a tiny
watch inside for President Eis
hower. On The Side

Over a hundred men in the
United States who are million
aires are bachelors. In the inter
ests of our unmarried country
men somebody should publish a
volume of information titled
"Who's Who In Bachelor Ameri
ca." While awaiting the publica
tion of such a book, this depart
ment will periodically name
some of the bachelors who are
still in circulation. If one of our
feminine subscribers marries a
millionaire as a result of infor
maton furnished by this depart
ment, she is under obligation to
me for only one thing. All I ask
is that if her first child is a boy
that she does not name him
Edgar.
Male and Female
It was none other than Mar-
lene Dietrich who said, "In gen
eral men are better people than
women. They have stronger
characters, better brains and are
not so muddled in their think
ing." Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
is your authority for saying the
Italians taught the French how
to cook? A. There is much au
thority for that statement. I will
content mystelf with quoting
one, the Funk and Wagnalls
Standard Encyclopaedia edited
by Frank Vizetelly: "The cook
ing of France was probably of an
imperfect and rude kind until
the introduction of Italian tastes
by the princesses of the house of
Medici." . . . Q. Who was the first
feminine film star from Salt
Lake City. Utah? I say Loretta
Young. Right? A. You're wrong.
First star from Salt Lake was
Betty Compson.

Latterly Learns of f
O&C Legal Fee Award
Portland W Portland
Attorney and former Congress
man A. W. Lafferty learned
Thursday that he had been j
awarded a "substantial" legal
fee for his long court battle to ;
force distribution of $7 million
belonging to 18 western Oregon
counties but impounded by the
federal government.
Lafferty and Richard L. Mer-;
rick, Washington. D.C.. attor-'
ney, had filed suit against the
counties for a legal fee. They '
claimed that their fight to re-;
lease the impounded funds was j
responsible for ultimate govern
ment payment of seven million
dollars in O and C land grand
funds to the counties.
Pelerson Resigns;
Going To Denmark
Washington W President
Eisenhower today accepted the !
resignation of Val Peterson as j
Federal Civil Defense Adminis
trator and nominated him to be j
the new ambassador to Den
mark, t
Leo A. Hoegh, former gover- j
nor of Iowa, was nominated to
succeed Peterson as head of the
Civil Defense Administration. j
Peterson, a former Republican I
governor of Nebraska, has
served as civil defense chief
since February, 1953.
If confirmed by the Senate,
Peterson will succeed Robert D.
Coe as ambassador to Denmark.
Coe, a veteran foreign service
officer, recently resigned.
Hoegh served as attorney gen
eral of Iowa in 1953-54 and gov
ernor from 1954 through 1956.

physicians recommend a highball
before the evening meal. They
say it brings on relaxation and
aids the digestion.
Firm Names
What is the most curious com
bination of cognomens in a firm
name you know of? The name of
three top men of the St. Louis
National League Baseball club
once were Muckenfuss, Diddle
bock and Von Der Ahe. That
certainly would make some firm
name. Imagine at switchboard
operator having to say over and
over, "Good morning. This is
Muckenfuss, Diddlebock and
Von Der Ahe." j
So They Say
Women born under Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) are inclined to
be aloof. They value their priv- j
acy too highly. They give the im- i
pression of being of a chilly na- I
ture. They just are not possessed ;
of that hot-cha "come hither" ap- j
pearance or attitude of the Los,
Libras and Scorpios. Virgo wom
en are more of the pal than the
sweetheart type Being a man's
pal is a comencable trait but !
being a sweetheart is more effec- (
tive in holding his interest. Virgo 1
women just don't understand ,
love. Or, so say the stargazers.
Greatness
The test of greatness in a thor
oughbred is the animal's ability
to get out in front at the start
of a race and stay there to the
finish with a number of good i
horses trying to get ahead of j
him. The ability to get to the
front and stay there is also the
test of a great man. It is, of
course, much harder to stay in
front than to get there.
Helpful Hint
The best way to get the odor of
stale tobacco smoke out of a
room is to put a dish of vine
gar on the mantlepiece. So says
a home management expert. Tell
your wife and have her try it
after the next bridge party she j
gives for her feminine friends.
