Father McCormack then
told the newsmen all the
Communist charges were
false. "They can't tell the
truth even when it serves
their own purposes."
He added that he was ac
cused of "everything under

which "absolutely was not
true"
"I any all their charges,"
h aaid, although adding that
conditions were so bad in
China "one couldn't exist with

Hatfield Calls on
Holmes About His
Position on Power
Salem (UPI) Secretary
of State Mark Hatfield called
upon Gov. Robert D. Holmes
Friday to indicate whether his
statement about Hatfield's po
sition on a regional power cor
poration was "an indication of
the type of campaign based on
deliberate falsehood we can
anticipate in the fall or igno
rance of the facts."
Holmes, in a press confer
ence earlier Saturday, said
Hatfield had been silent on
the regional power corpora
tion issue.
i
Hatfield maintained his po
sition on the corporation was
announced early in the pri
mary campaign and had ap
peared in the press "numer
ous" times.
Holds Advantages
Hatfield said his position
was that a regional corpora
tion holds the advantages of
adequate financing of North
west development and order
ly planning for maximum use.
However, he said the final
proposal should provide ade
quate regional control of plan
ning and policy and equitable
distribution of power pro
duced with the assurance that
each area may for itself deter
mine the method of distribution.
"Unless he has been badly
mis-informed, or misquoted,
the Governor has fired the
first volley of untruth in the
coming political campaign,"
the Republican Secretary
said.

HOW! Of
Mother Nature displays her
jewelry at McLoughlin Junior
High school in Medford for a
last showing from noon to, 5
p.m. today.
The Eighth Annual South
ern Oregon Gem and Mineral
show includes a vast array of
everything from agates to sea
shells, to Indian artifacts.
Each display is artistically ar
ranged by the "rock hounds"
from Oregon,. Washington and
California. The show is spon
sored by the Southern Oregon
Gem and Mineral society
which includes clubs of Med
ford, Ashland and Grants
Pass.
The 12-inch gold cup for the
best club display outside of
Medford was won by the Del
norte Rock Hounds, Inc., Cres
cent City, Calif., Saturday.
The trophy was presented to
Mrs Gertrude Penn, club rep
resentative. One of the more colorful
displays by the main entrance
to the gymnasium is the Ore
gon map with a different col
ored stones representing each
county. Bright lights behind
the display make the translu
cent'bits of stone shine. Next
to this display is a colorfuli
group of transparencies ar
ranged by John Ross, Med
ford.
Placed on an ornate pedes
tal is the Lucky Day Dend
rite, one of the largest ever
found, according to guide Le-
land O. (Cap) Mentzer. This
dendrite measures six inches
by three inches. It's called 1
dendrite because fern-like de
signs are embedded in the
translucent rock.
Near it was what was de
scribed as the world's small
est tumbler, lhis agate con
tains a small pocket of sand
in the center of it.
Lamp Shade
Another colorful display,
also by John Boss, was a lamp
shade made of wood and mul-
ti-hued agates or transparen
cies embedded in it. The
wooden base of the lamp was
ornately carved, demonstrat
ing this "rock hound's" skill
with the knife as well as with
the rock-cutting saw.
A small wooden windmill
by Lee Wright, Jacksonville,
embedded with agate slices
and powered by electricity,
also attracted a good deal of
attention
Arthur Johnson's collection
of cabochon stones, small
smoothly polished stones - for
rings, brooches and other
types of jewelry, attracted
many a woman's attention
Other displays contained
highly p o 1 i s h e d petrified
woods, crystals and polished
slices of agates. Three or four
cases of dendrites,' agates with
dark fern-like imprints made
a large attractive display,
This type of rock formation,
Mentzer explained, are formed
by manganese oxide forming
in the rock and silica jelly
flowing over the rock. Some
of the moss-like or fern-like
formations made a design.
One was called "the thinker"
since it resembled a man with
his chin in the palm of his
hand.
Dinner Table
Glen Nash, Eureka, a "rock
hound" with considerable im
agination, had arranged his
stones like a dinner table lad
en with food. On the plates
were rocks resembling steaks,
potatoes and other foods. In
a bowl was a rock resembling
cauliflower. Nearby were
"martinis" and a box of rocks
resembling candy.
Tom Riley, Eagle Point,
had one of the largest sections
of petrified palms and woods.
Most of his petrified palms
were from Texas. In the col
lection was a rare petrified
section of -Joshua tree from
southern California. In this
same display were some petri
fied cycads. These plants
grew at the time of the dino
saurs Riley also has in his display
a dinosaur vertebra from
Utah, and a fossil Gingko tree
from Washington. This is now
extinct in the United States.
Desert Glass
A vast array of purple-hued
desert glass caught the atten
tion of all those interested in
glassware. The intense violet
rays of the suncolored candle
holders, glasses, pitchers and
various other pieces of glass
ware. This particular display
contained from 90 to 100
pieces.
Those who still like to go
hunting for arrow-heads were
attracted to the Indian arti
facts display set off by bas
kets, a blanket or two and
even av cigar store Indian.
Much of these collections' by
Trevelle Turpin, Medford, and
Vern Decker, Ashland, were
taken from Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Grand Coulee.
Another ingenious collec
tion are stones set in long
thin wood slides so they may
be handled the same way as
photo negatives. This way,
the colorful, intricate designs
could be more easily traced
by the naked eye.
George Howard, Medford,
had on display a 14-ounce gold
nugget taken from the Alt
house creek area near Grants
Pass.
Eighteen -year -old Arthur
Albin, Corvallis, showed a
case of faceted gems stones
cut like diamonds.
These were just a few of the
outstanding displays which
covered the large junior high
school gym floor.
'Largest Clock'
Set for Centennial
Portland (UPI)A floral
clock, "largest in the world,"
will be constructed in the
heart of the Oregon Centen
nial Exposition International
Garden of Tomorrow, which
goes on display June 10, 1959,
according to Eddie Boatright,
garden-of-tomorrow chairman.
Boatright said the giant
clock will keep time and its
huge hands will point to num
bers formed by flowers and
plant material to be land
scaped into the face of the
clock.
Behind the clock will stand
the "world's largest candle,"
a towering column which
will burn the entire hundred
days of the centennial cele
bration, symbolizing the birth
day of the state of Oregon,
Boatright said.
Plant material will be sup
plied from major countries of
the world, he said. The floral
clock idea is patterned after a
similar clock at Christchurch
in New Zealand.
