I propose we round up 1,000 sopranos, 1,000 tenors, 1,000 contraltos, and 1,000 baritones." "Sounds impressive," al lowed Saint Peter, "but what about bassos?" "Oh," said the billionaire. Til sing bass myself." A racetrack addict finally moaned to a pal. "I'm through with horses! A wonderful doc tor has made the mere thought of them obnoxious.

Syndicate. . -M In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS Telephone Solicitations Problem With Chambers Telephone solicitations have become a number-one head ache in the Better Business Bureaus and Chambers of Commerce, according to Don McNeil, manager of the Jack son county chamber. Recent cases reported to the local chamber indicate Editorial Comment GUILTY PLEAS WIND UP OLD CASES , One of the most dastardly crimes in Oregon history oc curred in 1923 when three D'Autremont brothers held up a Southern Pacific train near Ashland in an attempt at robbery of the mails. The strongbox in the mail car was dynamited. Killed by the rob bers were four trainmen and a railway postal clerk. The men were not apprehended ior several years. After con viction on one murder charge they agreed to spend the re- . mainder of their natural lives in prison with the under standing that the remaining Indictments would not be pro secuted. In the more than 30 years that have passed efforts to ob tain a commutation h.ve been resisted by the postal authori ties who held over the heads of the D'Autremonts the re maining indictments. Special consideration has been urged for Hugh, the youngest of the brothers. Evidently in an at tempt to clear up the slate so he might get out of prison Hugh appeared in Jackson County Court Monday and plead guilty to two murder charges and to a charge of stopping a mail train for pur pose of robbery. He was sen tenced to life terms for the murders and to 20 years in prison for the train stopping charge, sentences to be con current. Three other murder charges were dismissed by Judge Hanna on recommenda tion of the district attorney. This clears the state record of pending charges against Hugh. Remaining, however, are some federal charges; and unless the postal authorities have changed their minds those charges will be pressed if Hugh is released from pri son. They have regarded this crime as one of the worst in te annals of the postal service. In spite of this Hugh is en titled to consideration for re lease from state prison. He has been an exemplary pris oner and appears to have made a good rehabilitation. He works in the print shop and edits the prisoners maga zine "Shadows." The recent release of Nathan Leopold in Illinois for crime more heinous in its inception offers a precedent for the release of Hugh D'Autremont. Reform and not revenge is the purpose of imprisonment. Hugh D'Autremont is entitled to have his case reviewed the same as those of other pris oners. Oregon Statesman, Salem that .sale of stocks by long distance telephone has been actively pushed in this area One such transaction in volved the sale of $80 in Ca nadian mining stock some months ago. A second call by the same promoter regarding additional stock was brought to the attention of the State Corporation commission Salem, McNeil reported. Securities Law Under the securities law, all persons engaged in solicit ing sale of securities in Ore gon must first be licensed with the corporation commis sion, he said. The license re quires a $5,000 bond. Precautions against such selling were advised by the chamber. Persons should be particularly suspicious of any bulletins on securities sug gesting their names were rec- ommended by a friend; should not be overanxious to complete any such business transaction; should check with local banks or brokers on stocks and bonds; and should call the chamber of commerce with information regarding the company's name, address and other data. Laborifes Fail To Block Defense London (IP) The Laborite opposition, once again plagued by "revolt" within its own ranks, failed Thursday night in a Parliamentary at tempt to block the govern ment's plans for H-bomb and missile defense. The House of Commons ap proved thj government's de fense policy by a vote of 317 to 261, alter defeatmg a Laborite censure amendment 318 to 263. The two-day defense debate that led up to the votes re vealed the existence of a new revolt against the moderate Laborite leadership by ex treme leftists who support Russia's demand for an im mediate ban on the H-bomb. Emanuel Shinwell, who was defense minister in Britain's last Laborite government, de voted much of his speech in the debate Thursday to an ef fort to convince the leftists that Britain cannot abandon the H-bomb. In Washington the other day there was a big bi-partisan rally in support of foreign aid. In the day-long session, Pres ident Eisenhower spoke Former President Truman spoke. Vice-President Nixon spoke. Adlai Stevenson spoke, All of them were FOR it. President Eisenhower was particularly emphatic. In his speech, he charged that criti cism of foreign aid is based on prejudices, penny -wise economy and a refusal to face facts. rpHE next morning a group -- of Democratic congres sional leaders said President Eisenhower's request for four billion dollars in foreign aid WILL NOT be approved. These leaders, as quoted by the reporters, add that the bie foreign aid to-do won't change a single vote in the congress. IirHY not? George Marder of Unit ed Press, in a Washington dis patch, offers an interesting and probably highly signifi cant explanation. He 'says: "The lawmakers don't hear any great demand from tax payers to spend for foreign aid. . .In their mail from their home districts, they get a lot of COMPLAINT about foreign aid spending. . .The lawmak ers, who are much closer to the voters than the , officials in the executive department, react as they think their con stituents want them to." "VfR. MARDER adds: 1TX "These lawmakers take the position that we can't buy loyalty or friendship with dollars. "Furthermore, almost eve ry investigation has come up with reports indicating waste varying from minor inci dents to major snafus." I Civil Defense Subject Of Teevfsion Program Civil defense will be the subject presented on the pub lic health program at 5:30 p.m. Saturday on KBES-TV. It is first in a series of three programs dealing with local and national defense. The medical panel wil con sist of Dr. James C. Luce, neurosurgeon, and Jackson county medical director for civil defense, Dr. David C. Boals, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Christian P. Hald, physi cian and surgeon from Ashland. Mrs. Ivan Burton will mod erate the program, sponsored by the Jackson County Public Health association. $AVE $AVE On the Point S.

SEE THE NEW 15' RUNABOUT TO BE GIVEN MARCH 26 Awarded from April 30 FORD TICKETS N RECENT months, I have talked with two people who are familiar with grass roots sentiment in India, where we have spent a lot of money for aid, particularly agricultural aid. One of them (a YMCA foreign service sec retary on leave) says: In general, our agricultur al people in India are capable. But they are VERY well paid according to Indian standards. They get as high as $14,000 a year, and on this, because of India's low wages and low living costs, they manage to live very well indeecL In a country whose agricultural earnings are less than $100 PER YEAR per person, you can imagine that this situa tion stirs up a lot of jealousy and ill will." THE other, who was born and educated in India, put it this way: "In India, the average farm is fabulously minute in size not much bigger than an American garden patch. Our agricultural people are TRAC TOR MINDED. Imagine using a tractor on a farm no bigger than a city lot. "Our agricultural advisers are strong for steel plows and scornful of the Indian's crook ed stick drawn by a buffalo. But consider this: When the Indian farmer comes to the end of the row on his postage-stamp-size field, he puts his crooked stick on his shoulder. turns his baffalo around and then puts his crooked stick back in the ground and plows another little furrow. Try to imagine putting an American steel plow on your shoulder and turning it around in that manner. "Naturally, the Indian farmers are scornful of the people we send there to help them. Their scorn leads on to RESENTMENT." These are some of the sna fus turned un by investiea tions of our foreign aid. Road Commission Calls for Bids on Yellow Paint Supply Portland (IP) Oregon has asked for bids for a year's supply of yellow paint for lines down the 'middle of its highways but white lines probably are coming back State Highway Engineer W, C. Williams said at a meet ing of the State Highway Commission Thursday that the Bureau of Public Roads has decreed all interstate high ways must be marked m white. He said all states but Oregon have concurred, Oregon switched to white lines a few years back but then changed back to yellow after complaints from motor ists. Low Route Favored In other business, the Com mission said it favored a "low level" or waterfront route for the Willamette River East Bank Freeway section of the federal interstate highway through Portland, rather than a more expensive eievatea structure. Williams said permission had been received from Army engineers to dredge the chan nel along the route followed by the Commission ferry Merle R. Chessman across the Columbia river between As toria and Megler. He said the job would cost about $25,000 The Commission said it could not grant a request to beautify the new route of U.S 101 as asked by the Cannon Beach Commercial club, but that it would have its experts render advice if the commun ity wanted to do the $10,500 job. Deschutes Request Denied A Deschutes county request that the Commission share on 50-50 basis in the removal of snow on the Cascade Lake secondary highway ' between Bend and the Bachelor Butte ski area was denied on grounds that other similar re auests have been refused.

Several Plywood Mills Close Down By UNITED PRESS Several Oregon plywood mills planned temporary shut downs this week end because of the depressed market. Some mills said ' they planned to re-open in a week or 10 days and others when market conditions improve.

Other plants shutting down or planning to shut i down are located in Grants Pass, Milwaukie, ' Swisshome, Medford and Crescent City, Calif.

Phone SP 3-6297 in Hoover Calls for Tax, Spending Cut New York (IP) F ormeri President Herbert Hoover Thursday night called for a tax cut and reduced govern ment spending as "the great est possible stimulant to re covery" from the current re cession. ' But he warned that a tax reduction without a corres ponding cut in government spending would "poison" the nation with more inflation. He said such a proposal, was an "opiate drug" that "should be resisted with horror." In an effort to end the cur-1 rent business and employment 1 slump, Hoover also called for a moratorium on wage and price increases. But he said the most useful of the eco nomic wonder drugs" was the elimination of waste and the 1 reduction of nonessential fed eral spending until the nation has a balanced budget.
