Lake Georye, N.Y. V If
you're visiting this resort vill
age, on tiie shore of the lake
of the same name, don't be sur
prised by a band of horsemen
dashing along the streets.
This won't be part of a Wild
West show. The Warren County
Mounted Patrol is serious busi
ness. The patrol is Sheriff Carl Mc
Coy's answer to law-enforcement
problems in the remote
woods and mountains of his 876-square-mile
county in the Adir
ondack, lie organized the group
last fall and, after a winter of
service, it has emerged an esta
blished arm of the law.
The patrol now numbers near
ly 40 volunteers, and they're no
dude cowboys. Fully deputized,
they are highly respected citiz
ens who know well the rugged
terrain and perils of their territory.
Porter Bill Would
Deny Tax Write-Off
Washington, DC. Legisla
tion designed to deny Idaho
Power company a "fast tax
write-off" in its Hells Canyon
franchise was introduced by
Congressman Charles O. Porter
ID-Ore ) last week.
The Oregon lawmaker's bill
would "plug another tax loop
hole" which "Is already going to
erst the taxpayers $3 billion for
IU Pst six years of existence,"
Porter said. .
"It was not enough that the
Administration should attempt
to five away the bigeest remain
ing undeveloped power resource
in North Amrrica Hells Can
non but insult to injury was
added in stretching a wartime
device intended to encourage
enmpanies to build needed de
fense facilities in a hurry to
f.vor the Idaho Power com
Piny." Rep. Porter recalled that Rus-sr-11
C. Rainwater, chief account
ant of the Federal Power Com
mission, testified that the U.S.
Treasury could lose as much as
-S83.95!.827-' by the fast tax
write-off granted to the Idaho
Power company.
"This is probably a conserva
tive and minimum guess at the
loss." Porter commented.
The Porter bill. "Emergency
Facility Amortization Act of
1957." would change the present
law to apply to applicants certi
fied after January 1, 1957.
I They already have provided
; consiberable discouragement to
j burglars and vandals who in
past years have enjoyed a "field
day" ransacking hundreds of iso
lated summer camps.
Five Horses
The youthful sheriff, a former
harness race driver, is a superb
horseman, and all who join must
be the same. Mostly business
and professional men, the group
includes two bankers, a mill
owner, resort, store and restaur
ant proprietors and, appropriate
ly, a veterinarian.
There also is the chairman of
the county's alcholic beverage
control board, who donates the
use of an arena he owns for the
j weekly patrol drills. A state
i game protector is the drill
I master.
I Each member must provide
j his ow n mount, and all have
I handsome and spirited animals,
I such as McCoy's seven-year-old
Palomino. Spitfire. One truck
I dealer rides a highly bred Ara
bian stallion.
I For its official outfit, the pa
trol chose gray-blue uniforms,
complete with western - style
pants, frontier shirts and western-type
hats. They also ordered
a flag with a light blue back
ground, displaying the picture
of a horse's head and the gold
letters, "Warren County Sheriff's
Mounted."
The semi-military unit is pat
terned after one in Los Angeles
County, Calif.
"That outfit has silver-mounted
saddles and bridles," McCoy
said. "Of course, we don't plan
to go that far, but we'll look
pretty fair on parade."
Parades, skill, military bear
ing and smart uniforms are not
the prime objective of the pat
rol, however.
"We have sound reasons for
this unit," McCoy said. "There
have been many cases in which
we could have performed valu
able services, and when such
instances arise in the future,
we'll be ready for them."
Each fall, hunters become lost
in the heavily wooded area.
Horses, he said, can cover the
rugged country where cars and
jeeps are useless.
" Last year a plane went down
and two men died," he added.
'We had to organize a party to
walk 20 miles back into the
woods to reach them."
"In cases of manhunts, fires
and serious illness, the patrol
will be worth its weight in
horses." the sherif fsaid. "In
fact, we do just about anything
except chase speeders."

N. Y.r California Feud
Over Bobsled Run
Albany. N. Y. V New York
and California appear to have
entered into a friendly feud over
which state has, or will have,
the best bobsled run in North
America.
California claims that by 1960
it will have one that will top the
lamed Mt. Van Hoevenberg bob
run at Lake Placid in northern
New York. "It will be the fastest
in the world," the west coasters
predicted.
The remark drew a friendly
'pooh pooh" from New Yorkers.
California's will have a concrete
chute and the chute will have to
use artificial ice.
On the other hand. New York
is a natural run, using natural
ice and snow. And to top off the
argument, the New York Conser
vation Department pointed out
that "the drivers are the ones
who make the records."
New York went a step further.
It offered to lend some of its
bobsled experts to California to
help get the run underway.

House Un-American
Committee Disregards
Ruling and Suicide
Walter aid doctors, lawyers,
schoolteachers, newspapermen
and architects will be called. H
did not disclose any namei but
three lawyers admitted they had
been subpoenaed.
San Francisco, W The
chairman of the House Un
American Activies Subcommit
tee disregarded both an adverse
U.S. Supreme Court ruling and
the suicide of a prospective wit
ness and ordered hearings to
proceed today on Communist in
filtration of San Francisco's pro
fessions. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D
Pa.), chairman of the subcom
mittee, called 50 persons to ap
pear in the four days the hear
ings will be conducted.
'Leaned Over Backward'
Walter said the Supreme
Court "leaned over backward"
Monday in reversing a contempt
of Congress citation of Illinois
labor leader John T. Watkins.
who had balked at telling House
investigators about other per
son's past Communist activities.
The subcommittee chairman
also expressed "disappointment"
over the suicide of William K.
Sherwood, a Stanford Univers
ity research assistant who had
been scheduled to testify.
Walter, in ordering the hear
ings to proceed, ignored a de
mand by the American Civil Li
berties Union that he call off
the sessions because of Sher
wood's suicide.
Sherwood. 41, took a dose of
poison in his Pacific Grove,
Calif., laboratory, leaving a note
which said he feared he would
be "assassinated by publicity"
at his scheduled appearance be
fore the subcommittee.
Loper to Speak at
Society Meeting
Aubrey Loper, president of
the Medford Safety council, will
speak at the June meeting of
the Southern Oregon Optome
tric Society tonight at the Rogue
Valley Country club in Medford.
Loper will explain the driver
education program of the Safety
Council and outline the type
of participation they have re
quested from the optometric
group in conducting a pilot proj
ect of driver-vision screening.
The dinner meeting will also
include a film. "The Case of the
Misguided Killer." according to
Dr. R. L. Stephen, of Grants
Pass, president.
Walter said he had been hope
ful of obtaining helpful testi
mony from Sherwood.
Wants To Read Decision
He refused to comment at
length on the Supreme Court
decision, saying he would not
make a full statement until he
had read the decision.
"I am of the belief that the
court leaned over backward,"'
Walter said.

It comes as no surprise to us

competition here in the West.
Mercury's distinctive styling

it belongs to Mercury alone.Thea
there's size. The Big M, this year,
is measurably larger than com
petition inside and out. This,
combined with Mercury's exclu
sive Floating Ride, means riding
comfort and luxury you will find
in no other car at the price.
Westerners also appreciate
Mercury's full choice of great
new engines, its superior perform
once, and its many exclusive feo
lures such as Keyboard Control
-effortless driving on tlie freeway
or in city traffic.
All this adds up to greater
value which you will discover
when you make your comparison
of our '57 Mercury with its com
