Mil Authorizing Right To Suspesi
Railroad Rate Reductions Blocke
Salem - (UPD - The Senate
Rules Committee refused to
permit introduction of a bill
which would have given the
public utility commissioner
the right to suspend railroad
rate reductions.
The Oregon Trucking Asso
ciation had sought introduc
tion of the measure. .Robert
Knipe, manager of the Asso
ciation, said truckers earlier
had no intention of seeking its
introduction but ; that the
Southern Pacific Company
recently filed declaration of
intent to cut rates for hauling
petroleum products in south
ern Oregon. He described the
rates as "discriminatory."
Sen. Melvin Goode (R-Al-bany)
opposed introduction of
the bill. He said he was "not
in sympathy with the sudden
injured feelings of the truck
ers" who he said knew rail
road reductions were possible.
Goode and Sen. Eddie Ah
rens (R-Turner) voted against
permission to introduce the
bill and Sens. Jean Lewis CD
Portland) and Richard Groen
er (D-Milwaukie) voted for it.
It failed on a 2-2 tie vote.
Electronics manufactur i n g
representatives asked the Sen
ate Labor and Industries Com
mittee to keep the best pos
sible climate so the phenome
nal growth of these concerns
can continue.
L. B. Webber, of Tektronix,
Inc., located near Portland,
said the firm grew from 400
employees in 1949 to 2600 in
1958.
Dr., W. P. Dyke, director of
the Linfield. Research Insti
tute, said the electronics in
dustry was the fourth largest
nationally and that more simi
lar industries were needed in
Oregon.
None of the spokesmen for
the industry urged any special
rate in unemployment insur
ance. But they asked a return
to the merit rating for indus
tries which, because of the de
pletion of the unemployment
trust fund, are paying the 2.7
per cent rate on their pay
rolls. Most of the companies have
not been in business long
enough to earn lower rates
under the merit plan but all
felt they would be able to
earn lower rates soon if the
plan was brought back into
effect.
The first call of the Senate
was made Tuesday although
it was lifted as soon as it was
found that Sen. Ward Cook
(D-Portland) was ill.
The call to assemble all
members not excused was
made by Sen. G. D. Gleason,
(D-Portland) after he had
argued for passage of Senate
bill 340, empowering county
commissions to license certain
types of businesses in the
counties.
Passed and sent to the gov
ernor was House bill 484
which clarifies the law in re
lation to use of waters of Tu
malo creek in Deschutes coun
ty for municipal purposes.
The city of Bend has been
appropriating these waters for
the past 40 years, the Senate
was told, and only recently
some question arose as to its
right to do so.
The bill clarifies Bend's
right to use the water for do
mestic and stock purposes.
A bill providing for ap
pointment of fire wardens in
the five grazing districts of
eastern Oregon was referred
to the Judiciary Committee
for some amendments.
Sen. Carl Francis (R-Day-ton)
called attention to the
fact that, as the bill is writ
ten, if a fire occurs from a bolt
of lightning, the owner of the
property on which the fire
occurs would be liable to
criminal prosecution.
A bill designed to allow a
workman under workmens'
compensation to designate his
own physician was introduced
by Sens. Dan Dimick (D-Rose-burg)
and Carl Francis (R
Dayton). The bill provides that if
the Workmens' Compensation
Commission refuses the work
man's request for his own
physician, an appeal can be
made to the entire Commis
sion and then to the Circuit
Court. -
Coneress is reauested to
provide increased pay for re
tired service men in accord
ance with recent pay increases
passed by Congress in a mem
orial introduced Tuesday.
Sen. William A. Grenfell
Jr. (D-Portland) said that re
tired personnel of the services
were not included in the pay
increases granted. He urged
that either the pay will be
amended or new legislation
introduced to attain the de
sired end.
NEW LOOK FOR OLD SOL The sun shows a new face

rocket 123 miles above the earth. Just released, the
photo presents the sun as recorded in detail in the
extreme ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This is one

Non-Surgical Method
Cures Hemorrhoids Painlessly
A relatively painless, non
surgical method of treating
hemorrhoids (piles) is work
ing therapeutic miracles for
thousands who suffer from
"rectal and colon disorders.
A recently developed elec
tronic treatment is proving
more effective than surgery,
with none of the after effects
of surgery." -
The relatively new tech
nique requires no hospital
ization or confinement. Pa
tients show marked im
provement almost immedi
ately, and uncomplicated
cases can be frequently cor
rected in as little as 10 days.

Di. ww' Damvc News and Notes
r it Kin rears From Camp white
By SID HOLLINGS WORTH
The VA Domiciliary at
Camp White was listed 13 in
the top 50 stations in the
United States qualifying for
maximum safety in perform
ance, according to Veterans
administration records for the
year 1958..-
The report is based upon a
4 per cent accident frequency
rate. There are 110 stations
which failed to meet this re
quirement. About 60 con
formed to the standard. .
.The Camp White record
was 850,477 hours or 4 6 8
days since the last disabling
accident up to midnight Dec.
31.
Employees at this staation
were especially commended
by Manager Henry Herzog
for the safety record. "It is
gratifying to find that the
precautions taken have ma
terialized in this splendid re
cord of performance," he
pointed out.
Accidents which cause loss
of time occur occasionally in
the kitchen and engineering
where the hazards are great
est. A daily record of the numb
er of days without crippling
disability, and the location
and date of the last accident,
is kept and posted on the bul
letin board at the entrance to
the domiciliary.
AdvwftMmMit
Herzog and Assistant Man
ager Banks I. Paul have re
turned from the area budget
conference in San Francisco
with assurances that the
plans they outlined for the
domiciliary at Camp White
will receive favorable attention.
"It was my first meeting
with many of the VA officals
in this area, Herzog stated.
"An opportunity - was afford-

are in daily contact with this
office."
Herzog was much impres
sed with the interest shown
in the program of benefits
provided at Camp White and
the work that is being done.
Arrangements are being
made for the Hobby Fair to
be held in the arts and crafts
section Sunday, April 26.
This annual d i s pi a y is a
VAVS undertaking under dir
ection of special services.
Opportunity is afforded for
members who show talent in
this field or whose activities
include unusual hobbies, to
compete for prizes or to sell
such items as mats and rugs,
wood work, leather work and
novelties.
George Butts, who has
sparked the creative urge in
the wood and metal working
wing of arts and crafts during
the past two years, as recrea
tion assistant, will not be on
hand for the show this year.
He is making a grand tour of
the western states and Mexi
co. He has friends in most of
the places he will visit, in
cluding California, Arizona,
Colorado and the northwest.
A new experience awaits
him on this trip to Mexico.
"I am going to spend some
time on the west coast, which
I have never seen. I have al
ways been on the east coast
in Mexico oh previous visits,"
he says.
George plans to return lat
er to take up residence at
Eagle Point. He is a cabinet
maker and has a hobby in the
designing of old model pistols
and guns.
August Lovy, who has been
making flags out of inlaid
wood, is going to wait until
congress finishes admitting
new states before he tries an
other "star cluster" for Ha
waii. He is going home next
month for the summer and
may try the 50 star flag on
his return. He will again wait
for the official design, he
says.

, Alonzo Eastman, although
crippled with arthritis, loves
the outdoors and the open
road. He has acquired a
"house on wheels" and a
large boat which is lodged on
top when it is not used to
cruise over Oregon lakes and
rivers in pursuit of the fish
to be caught in these waters.
Alonzo has been busy at
the domiciliary this winter
putting his huge van and him
self in condition for his an
nual trek over the highways
of the coast region. He ac
quires enough food, which is
canned and then stored in
side, to subsist in his travels.
Eastman took the big bus
but for a trial run last week
and ran into trouble, of all
places, t the entrance to
Camp White. A minor crash
with another vehicle makes
it necessary for him to do a
little more work on the job,
before he sets out for Gold
Beach and the mouth .of the
Rogue for his first catch of
fish.
The Rev. Perry Johnson,
Medford minister who served
as chaplain at the domiciliary
for a number of years, drop
ped in to say hello to the
members, and possibly good
bye. He is considering a
pastorate in Klamath Falls,
but likes Medford too well to
make a final decision at this
time.

A Gizzard is Important
Ask the Bird Who Owns One
A very important part of
the internal machinery of a
bird is the gizzard. Actually
a gizzard is a sort of second
stomach, a muscular organ
that grinds the bird's food.
Of course gizzards come in
mighty handy to a bird who,
having no teeth, has to swal
low the food whole and let
the gizzard do the grinding
work. To be effective the bird
has to swallow some gravel,
some stones or pieces of other
hard, , sharp material which
acts as an abrasive and assists
in grinding the food. No one
ever explained just how the
hen or song bird knows when
it needs another batch of sand
but somehow without our
understanding, they manage.
Like A Washboard
The inside of a gizzard is
built and looks like a wash
board. The contraction of the
muscles squeeze and pinch the
Capt. William Ricken, of
the Salvation Army, had ex
hausted his supply of induce
ments to get the men to sing
at the Sunday coffee hour
services. He divided the sides
to see which would sing
louder. No 'response.
"That fellow with the blue
shirt is-the only one singing,"
he remarked.
Since there were 20 in blue
shirts, they all started singing.
Members of the young
ladies' choir of Sacred Heart
church, Medford, sang the
Easter mass, celebrated by
Chaplain Lawrence E s k a y,
Sunday morning.
The group included Sim
mon Petard, Ann Spears,
Katherine Parlier, Fran ces
Thrum, Vivian De Lisle,
Edith Dugan, Patricia Scher

Hackett, Donna Kaufer, Bee

contained food until it is di
gestible. The muscle contrac
tion rubs the grain or other
food against the contained
gravel or sand until it is
broken.
Of course there is always
the question, "How does the
gizzard grind the food .with
out wearing a hole in itself."
The answer is, it does. But
Nature arranged for this too,
for the gizzard has the happy
faculty of replacing new tissue
as fast as the old is worn out.
Most of the, insects have giz
zards, too, as do the mollusks
such as the oyster, clam and a
host of others. The insides of
the mollusks' gizzards are
armed with hard, limey plates.
In some instances the gizzards
of some mollusks are strong
enough actually to grind up
hunks of limestone. These
limey plates are secreted by
the mollusk from; sea water.
It's a good thing Nature ar
ranged it this way because an
oyster would certainly look
silly going around eating
small pebbles and gravel like
the chicken.
Tiny 'Teeth
The insect gizzard is differ
ent from either the bird or
the mollusk. It is lined with
tiny "teeth" so small they
cannot be seen with the hu
man eye. If you think that the
"cutest gadget in the world is
a bug's ear," you would
change your mind in a hurry
if you saw a bug's gizzard. It's
about the world's" smallest
grinding apparatus. Probably
however, you don't care if you
ever see one or not. It is
sufficient that you have to be
bothered with gizzards when
you have chicken for dinner.
Usually, gizzards are shaped
like tiny purses. They are
carefully cleaned by the
housewife and cooked along
with the rest of the fowl. Then
they are often thrown away
because of all the many people
who like chicken, turkey,
ducks, squabs, or water-fowl,
Asian Newspapers
Attack Peiping in
Outspcken Terms
Tokyo - (UPD - Red China's
image as a friendly model for
neutral Asian nations was
crumbling today under with
ering criticism of its bloody
tactics in Tibet.
Editorial writers from India
to Indonesia attacked Peiping
in unusually outspoken terms.
The restraint once shown in
criticizing the Communist
giant on the mainland was
gone.
"Forced conversion to Com
munism at the point of the
bayonet will not go down well
in the neutral countries which
only a few have ever acquired
an appetite for such a funny
thing as a gizzard.

and Tribune Syndicate, 1959)
are China's mainstay in inter
national politics," said the in
fluential Times of Indonesia.
"The ruthless suppression of
the Tibetans . . . will be re
membered by the peoples of
Asia and the world and Pei
ping's action will not rebound
to its advantage," said Japan's
nationally circulated Mainichi
Shimbun.
Ask Who Is Next
In New Delhi, Ashok Meh
ta, parliamentary leader of In
dia's Praja (Socialist) Party,
gave voice to a fear that hangs
over many Asian nations:
"Today it is Tibet. Tomorr
row it may be Nepal, and the
day after it may be us."
- Asia's swift and negative
reaction to the Tibetan revolt
added up to Peiping's worst

beating since it blossomed out
as an Asian power at the
Bandung Conference of 1955,
and possibly since the regime
came into being 10 years ago.
Whether this signals a re
vision of past policies of neu
trality, however, is doubtful.
Goodwill Drying Up
All of these nations sit prac
tically on Red China's front
doorstep, and they will think
for a long time before aband
oning an attitude of cordial
if not particularly friendly
intercourse for one of hostile
defiance.
But what is clear is that the
reservoir of goodwill Red
China has assiduously built up
among neutrals, especially
since the Bandung Conference
in Indonesia, is drying up fast.
What remains when the
shock of Tibet wears off may
be a thick sediment of distrust
and wariness toward Peiping.
