Oil Companies Urge New Way to Measure Miles Per Gallon Tulsa, Okla. -(UPD- One of the first questions the owner of a new car is likely to be asked is: "How many miles does she get to the gallon?" Because of today's bigger, heavier and more powerful cars, the answer is likely to grow smaller every year, So much so that the oil in dustry is beginning to ask the public to switch to what it calls a more "accurate for mula than miles-per-gallon: ton-miles per gallon. Depends on Design Gasoline mileage in any car depends on its design, its maintenance and where or how it is operated. Driving fast or under poor road condi tions can reduce mileage, just as can driving in mountain ous or stop-and-go territory "Ton-mile Der gallon" is the distance that one gallon of gasoline can move one ton of automobile. The Ethyl Corporation which makes the anti-knock compound in "premium gas olines-wants the public to adopt the new yardstick be cause it feels it is fairer to all concerned. It points out that today's automobile could not be expected to get the same gasoline mileage as the Mod el T Ford when the Model T weighed less than 1,700 pounds while its 1958 coun terpart tips the scales at 3,400 pounds. It Looks Better The new yardstick makes things look better, from the standpoint of the gasoline. Back in 1930, oilmen say, one gallon of gasoline could move one ton of 1930 auto at an average of 29 miles at 40- mph. By 1957, one gallon could move one ton ' of car nearly 44 miles at the same speed. That's a 52 per cent improve ment, and that's the way the gasoline folks like to see it measured. So if the motorist who drives a new car is reluctant to answer the question about his gas mileage, he can pro claim, "I get more ton-miles to the gallon than ever be fore." The oil companies hope he will. EPIDEMIC CONTINUES Tokyo -(LTD The sleeping sickness epidemic sweeping the Republic of Korea and Japan claimed 33 more vic tims today, raising the unof ficial death toll to 2,283. 16 Persons Hurt As Train Derailed Minneapolis, Minn. (UPD -Nine cars of the Soo Line's "Winnipeger" passenger train jumped the track west of Min neapolis Monday night, injur ing 16 persons. The crash happened near the community of Ham el, 16 miles west of Minneapolis. Two ambulances and sheriff's cars shuttled the injured to North Memorial Hospital at nearby Robinsdale, Minn. All of the injured were treated and released except one, who was reported in fair condition. The first six cars of the train were mail and baggage cars and only three of the de railed cars carried passengers. The train was traveling at high speed and the jolt of the derailment telescoped several of the mail and baggage cars. The train derailed along a stretch of level track wjiich parallels a highway. The en gine and cars left the roadbed and plunged into tall grass along the side of the track. The engine and five cars over turned. Six other passenger cars re mained on the track and were pulled from the scene by a switch engine sent from Min neapolis. Soo Line officials said the cause of the crash was not im mediately determined.

Medford Phone SP 3-6297 VALLEY EQUIPMENT CO. 2840 S. Pacific Hwy. Medford Phone SP 2-6223 Paul Butler Charges Serious Violation Of Campaign Code Washington-(UPD-Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler Monday night called on the Fair Campaign Practices Committee to take action on a "serious violation of the fair campaign practices code" aris ing out of the current Califor nia election campaign. Butler also called on Meade Alcorn, his Republican coun terpart, to "repudiate the vi cious and fraudulent cam paign technique" that Butler said was instigated on behalf of the GOP in California. Butler said the "fraudulent campaign technique" was in stigated in a. pamphlet by Jo seph P. Kamp, who has served jail sentences for contempt of Congress for refusing to list contributors to his Constitu tional Education League. lhe iNew YorK limes re ported the pamphlet by Kamp was supported by rich Repub licans to help the candidacy of Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif.). Knowland is retir ing from the Senate to run as Republican candidate for gov ernor against Democrat At torney General Edmund G. Brown. Reuther Attacked The pamphlet was said to have attacked Walter Reuther, United Auto Workers presi dent. Butler wrote Alcorn that "Your silence on this matter Is That So? By OLGA BURNS If the croaking of frogs keeps you awake when you're in the country, don't think it's just because of the press of modern living. People have been complain ing about it for centuries. Take the case of the lords and ladies of medieval France and England. Sometimes on sum mer nights the croaking frogs in the castle moats got on their nerves so they would order out the tired serfs to silence them- For centuries they did it by flailing the water and banks with sticks. Finally some clev er Frenchman discovered that burning camphor thrown on the water would do an even better jobs, arid thereafter the serfs got some sleep, too. Much the same condition existed in the days of ancient Rome. According to Pliny, when it was found the frogs on the island of Serpho were mute, there was a rush to import them, apparently on the assumption they would displace the noisy ones. How ever, once on shipboard, the Serpho frogs developed tre mendous voices and so were promptly shipped home. Since frogs work busily throughout the day feeding on insects, some people wonder why they burst into chorus at sundow. The main reason probably is they are glad the sun is gone. Sunlight dries out their skins, therefore night life is pleasanter for them. Frogs, which regard even mice and small birds as good eating, are considered delici ous by many larger creatures, especially man who in our country hunts him with hook, spear or bullet. More Gracious Way In France, however,- they have a far more gracious way. The Frenchman makes the frogs come to him. The tech nique is simple. Put a piece of plain white paper near the edge of the watef On it place a live healthy frog- Over the frog set a bell or jar of clear glass. Put a rock on top of the jar so the frong can't upset it. Then quietly retreat into the bushes. When the prisoner calls for help, frogs come swarming in from all around. As soon as a satisfactory number have gathered about the bell, ad vance quietly from the bush es and slip a long-handled net over the frogs one by one but very quietly.

He said Kamp, who he described as "a notorious ex-convict and smear artist," has "attempted to smear every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt . . . and is credited with instigating the Communist smear tech niques which led to the recent shameful era in American po litical life." He wrote Charles P. Taft, chairman of the Fair Practices Committee, that "The fact that the Republican party financi ally supports and encourages this kind of smear campaign makes it imperative that some action be taken." According to the Times, Mrs. Helen Knowland, wife of the senator, endorsed the pamph let and distributed "about 500" copies. She said she stopped when her husband no ticed the pamphlets did not have a union label. Brown accused Knowland of having been caught "doing business with elements that would not stop at imposing a Fascist dictatorship over the American people." In Los Angeles, Knowland denied endorsing the pamph let. He said he did not know Kamp and said the charges made against him in connec tion with the pamphlet con stituted a "red herring." Knowland said lie under stood his wife has sent for some material that "might be of interest to the California campaign" but said he did not believe his wife had ever met Kamp. Unions Said Failing To Pay Tax in Full Portland -(UPD- The Multno mah County Labor Council Monday night rapped the knuckles of some locals they said failed to pay their per capita tax on full member ship. This is causing the coun cil to operate in the red, said trustees. Eugene Watson, a trustee, said the council has shown a deficit of several hundred dollars or more in each month since May. He said when the AFL and CIO merged in Mult nomah county the per capita tax was reduced to four cents from five cents on the theory that all locals would pay for their full membership. Watson said that if some thing weren't done the rate would have to be raised.
