10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdforrf, Ore., Monday, December 22, 1958 KebeD Unrest in Sumatra Expected To (Become Worse Hong Kong-(UPD -Informed sources with contacts in Indo nesia predicted today that rebel-caused unrest in Su matra will grow worse within the next few months. These sources, who are in regular contact with business men in Sumatra, said the sit uation there is worse now than it was during the revolu tion last spring. Rebel bands have raided foreign-owned rubber farms, burned buildings and docu ments and disrupted commun ications and transportation, they said. Raids on Plantations On Nov. 29 a rebel band swooped down on the Good year Rubber Company's estate at Wingfoot near Medan and grabbed the payroll of about $250,000. The raiders also wounded two special police men employed by the Suma tran Planters Association dur ing the raid, these sources said. About the same time, the head office of the Sumatra Caoutchoue Mij N. V. at Pa dang Halaban was burned and all the company's records were destroyed. Another estate was struck and two unoccupied dormi tories went afire after the rebel raiders had looted the company's safe and taken all funds kept there. Cut Off Exports There also have been inci dents of rebels ambushing trucks and buses on lonely roads in Sumatra. The rebels apparently are operating without any central control because they lack ade quate communications. The revolution which began late last February was broken up in April when loyalist forces attacked West Sumatra and scattered most of the rebel army. But small pockets of rebel soldiers managed to escape to the hills and jungle, and ever since have been har rassing the governm einit troops. The rebels have cut Su matra's export to practically nothing, according to business sources, putting the central government in a difficult fi nancial position.

Quackery Blamed For Cancer Deaths C of C Man Says Last year, 75,000 persons died of cancer needlessly be cause they relied on cancer quacks, according to Don Mc Neil, Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce manager. McNeil based his statement on information provided by the American Cencer Society and the National Better Busi ness Bureau. "The cancer quack is in business of advertising and selling miracle drugs and cures for cancer," McNeil said. "By preying upon the fears of the public with their mumbo jumbo these modern witch-doctors extract millions of dollars from a frightened and gullible public. Far worse-, they divert persons from get ting proper treatment which might have saved and pro longed their lives or alle viated suffering," he added. Since such "charlatans" are found both inside and outside the medical profession recog nition is not always simple, McNeil warned. At one end of the quack spectrum are cer tain members of the medical profession who are simply misguided or uninformed on cancer therapy, he explained. At the other end are the ghouls who operate assembly line clinics, using useless methods and charging exorbi tant fees. "The cancer charlatan can be recognized generally by these characteristics, McNeil said His treatment is secret and given only by him. He often uses advertising and testimonials. He uses high- sounding research names. He refuses consultation with rep utable physicians,. He claims persecution by the "medical trust and he keeps few if any records. "Fifty . per cent of all can cers can be cured if detected early in development and treated properly and prompt ly," the American Cancer So ciety" said. "An adequate check-up by a reputable phy sician can usually detect can cer when present." A yearly medical examina tion for all adults would re sult in a great saving of life from cancer as well as many other chronic illnesses," the society stated. 13 Graoe SP 3-1971 To Appear on TV For Shakespeare Festival Fund Ashland-Alfred S.

Promise Given "I promised Mrs. Cotton (Mrs. John C. Cotton, Ashland co-chairman) last August if Ashland raised $50,000, Med ford would raise $100,000," the Carpenter telegram stat ed, "and this promise must be kept. You can do it if you will and thus make my word good. I will have a merrier Christ mas and Shakespeare a happy New Year-Alfred S. V. Car penter." Solicitations will be con tinued until the full amount is realized, campaign officials emphasized.. By the end of last week more than $224,000 had been secured, a Festival spokesman said.

Back Stairs: Golf for Ike Impossible By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter Washington - (UPD -Back stairs at the White House: It was November before sub-freezing weather made golf impossible for President Eisenhower at his Burning Tree club in suburban Mary land just outside Washington.

Salem-OIPD-More than 500 persons visited Fairview home for the mentally retarded here over the week end to help observe the institution's 50th anniversary. for winter, he heard a young boy cry through the trees: "I don't care what you're President of-that's STILL my ball. Another current story about Burning Tree where service roads run fairly close to some of the fairways. This story in cidentally originated at Palm Springs, Calif., when the President toured the luxuri ant links there a few years ago. . A man was driving along the road with the window of his car down. A golfer hit a powerful tee shot and hooked badly. His ball zoomed into the car, striking the man in the temple. When an interne revived the. man in the ambulance, the poor fellow fluttered his eyelids and murmured, "Thank you, Mr. President." Sense of Confinement The President feels a defi nite sense of confinement in this chilly season when the nearby courses are too frozen for anything resembling com fortable or accurate playing. True, this is his busy season when he puts together his im portant messages for opening of Congress, but . he really misses the exercise in being able to get out two or three afternoons a week. Therein could lie a remote possibility of changing, Christ mas plans. Right now, his plans are to remain in the White House Ifor, a family Christmas, , thence to Gettys-. burg for the Yuletide week and probably New Year's. But should the weather continue to keep most sensi ble people indoors during their leisure hours, Augusta, Ga., still is only two hours away by plane. They're still chuckling at the White House about some of the guests at the recent formal dinner and musicale given by the President and Mrs. Eisenhower. The guests in question must have ' been out-of-towners, probably from New York, because they' very quietly put down quarter tips before the ' shocked White House maids and butlers when they collected their hats and coats after, the musicale. This is tantamount to tip ping the maid in the home after a cocktail party calL Proud of Jobs . fey Spots Reported On Oregon Highways Salem - (UPD - Spots of ice were reported today at Gov ernment Camp, Warm Springs junction, Siskiyou, Greein Springs, Prospect, Bend, Sari tiam pass, Ochoco summit, La pine, Bly and Meacham, the State ' Highway Department said. There was a trace of snow at Santiam pass and packed. sanded snow at Austin, Ground fog was reported at Portland, Salem, Corvallis Eugene, Coquille, The Dalles, Lapine, Bly, Ontario and Seneca. The White House cloak room aides are proud of their jobs and civil service status. As human beings naturally they'd always like to make more money. But a tip is an insult. If a Churchill or a Madame Chiang Kai-shek visits at the White House, it is perfectly proper as house guests of sev eral days to bestow gifts on the domestic help. But a din ner guest and his quarter horrors. ' Only one thing worse at a White House dinner-a guest should not hide a pint bottle in the men's room simply be cause no cocktails are served. Rare, admittedly; but it has happened. . . ' . . SPECIAL BIG Double Load DRY WOOD McGinfy Fuel Go. Phone SP 3-6297 Service When You Need It ....
