Collapsible Looking Around for Bt ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -BF&- A hundred years "ago an artist shaped some pieces of lead into a tube S to keep his a naints from V drying out. That was ;V the birth o i t V the collapsible l-m metal tube 1 1 W which tod a y 1 i. is in the bil lion class. Not billion dollars - more than a billion tubes a year. Each year the industry has been making more and more tubes despite a series ol ad versities ranging from the loss of the shaving cream market to the electric shaver to the inroads made for a time by airosol containers and plastic squeeze bottles. Though the tube was in vented in 1841, it wasn't until 1892 that it was put to use in the toothpaste industry. A Connecticut dentist, Washing ton Went worth Sheffield, practicing in New London, didn't like the communal jar of toothpaste or powder into which "it was customary for the family guests to dip their brushes, both before and dur ing brushing. Myriad Uses There still are a half bil lion tubes used for toothpaste each year in this country. Col lapsible tubes also are used for the packaging of medical and pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, household and in dustrial products, liquid sol ders and myriad others. John V. Wightman, re J I Leukemia Deaths Among Children Said Decreasing New York - (UPB-The death rate from leukemia is increas ing faster than that of any other form of cancer except lung cancer but the leukemia death rate among children ap pears to be decreasing, ac cording to the American Can cer Society. The society said in a special report that medical progress in the fight against the dis ease has increased the life span of the leukemia victim although leukemia still is re lentless in its claim on life. Life Expectancy Stretched Whereas life expectancy eases of acute leukemia used to be only a matter of weeks or months, therapeutic agents have stretched this to as much as a few years. Chronic leu kemia patients may survive for from several years to as much as 10 or even 20 years, the society said, adding that the best chance was held by those who contracted chronic leukemia in later life. The cancer society said the leukemia death rate among males of all ages has risen from 2.5 per 100,000 in 1930 to 7.4 in 1956. Among females, less susceptible to the disease than males, the death rate in creased from 1.8 to 5.1 during the same period. The report said the increase in incidence of leukemia was ereater among persons 50 years and older. Although leukemia often is thought of as a children's dis ease, the society said that the jjjjws ' ja " Taunus 17M Deluxe UJS.-typ TAUNUS German-made! It's from Ford!

MEDFORD MOTORS 225 So. Riverside, Medford Tube Industry search director of the Collap- s i b 1 e Tube Manufacturers Council, notes that the indus try is looking around for new fields to conquer. He believes a huge poten tial market exists in the food industry. "Here," he says, "European processors have blazed a trail that the U. S. food industry has so far failed to exploit. Aside from imported jellies and jams in tubes, anchovy paste is substantially the only food item available in tubes in the U. S. market. "Yet for cocktail snacks and other tidbits requiring a decorative touch, the tube dis penser offers an ideal method for quick home-made hors d'ouvres, using soft cheese, meat and fish pastes, tomato and various other seasoned purees." Space Saving He holds that it is similarly adapted for pastry frostings or icings which in various flav ors and colors, can be used on cakes and pies to give unusual eye-appeal adding a profes sional touch in home prepar ation of the various pastry mixes now widely available. Wightman believes also that food packaging in tubes would make sense also if for no other reason than for elimin ation of waste and saving in space and weight as compar ed with other types of pack aging. The tube industry is pre pared to handle any type of packaging by tube since it has experimented to produce the right types of waxes and sealants for various forms of items ranging up to perfumes 11,000 who die annually of the disease in this country less than 2,000 are children. Other Findings The report also said: -The incidence of leukemia is greater among the privileg ed classes than among the less privileged and great among urban than among rural dwel lers. -The disease rarely Is pres ent at birth. .-Research among mice. has disclosed leukemia may be caused by a virus. -The Cancer , Society is spending nearly $1 million dollars this year for leukemia research. Ashland Judge Drops Ashland Further prosecu tion against a Medford man, Harvey K. Arnst, 35, of 903 West 10th st., was dropped Tuesday after he called Ash land Muncipal Judge P. H. Stansbury and asked if he could forfeit his $50 bail., i Arnst was arrested by Ash land, police Saturday on a charge of petty theft after he was apprehended and identi fied by a local merchant as the man who took a phono graph record from The Mart. Judge Stansbury said Tues day he hoped he had helped the man, who he said had ad mitted taking the record and could have been fined $200 and jailed for 30 days. The judge said he told Combi Station Wagon, 3-speed transmission, $23 S3 truly "even keel" ride. YouH feel it in the surpassing, overtaking urge of the German-made short-stroke engine.

Passport Request By Portland Man Brings Reunion Philadelphia- (DPD -There'll be a big reunion in Rochester, N.Y., this week end when the four Jones kids get together for the first time in a half a century. Clarence, George, Bill and Edna Jones were born in Fair port, N.Y., and separated when Edna went to live with foster parents on a farm after the death of their mother. As the years passed, Edna married and moved to Phila delphia, Clarence settled in Rochester. George eventually came to Philadelphia, too. Bill disappeared around 1916 when he was in the Army. The last Edna heard of him was a letter written from the Mexican border. Settled in Portland. Bill, it seems, had settled in Portland, Ore., and gone into the contracting business. And there the matter might have , rested except that Bill recently decided he wanted to go to Italy to visit his daughter, married to an Air Force pilot. Needing a birth certificate to get his passport, he wrote to Fairport officials, who re plied he needed to identify himself. So Bill wrote the Fairport post office asking for names of any Jone's liv ing there 67 years ago when he was born. One post office employee happened to remember Clar ence Jones in Rochester. He told Bill. Bill wrote Clarence. Bill came to Philadelphia last Monday, on his return from Itay. And this coming week end a separation that began in 1909 will be ended when an all-family reunion will be held in Rochester. Prosecution Arnst by phone that he would hot be prosecuted further if he forfeited the bail. "The man has a job," Judge Stans bury explained, "and to jail him and throw his family on the welfare rolls did not seem sensible." City police said Arnst told them he had served time in two penal institutions and his signed statement avers that one term was for shooting at a detective and the other for armed robbery. The office of prime minister of Great Britain carried no pay until 1927. Before . that the prime minister usually combined the job with anoth- er which provided a stipened. Dulles Credited Wife for All Good He Accomplished Washington-dlPD-The slight, gray-haired widow of John Foster Dulles was once credit ed by her diplomat husband for "anything good I may have accomplished." This is strong praise, but those who know Janet Pom eroy Avery Dulles say she de serves every bit of it. For 47 years she was an inseparable companion for her husband. During Dulles' final illness she kept a constant vigil at his bedside. She was with him when he died of cancer last Sunday morning. Married in 1912 Mrs. Dulles' exceptional de votion to her husband and his demanding public career be gan nearly half a century ago. She met Dulles shortly after returning from Europe in 1911. They were married June 26, 1912, at Auburn, N.Y., the home of the bride's parents. She bore him three .chil dren, two sons and a daughter. During one two-year period she and "Foster" logged 300,- 800 miles together. 'Whenever the diplomatic meetings he at tended were open to the pub lic Mrs. Dulles was among the spectators. Speaks French, Spanish She delighted in the travel and the new people she met during the trips. She speaks fluent French and some Span ish. Mrs. Dulles tried to ease the burden of her husband's demanding duties by creating in, their home a haven from the world's turmoil. The pres ent Dulles home in Washing ton is a French provincial at the edge of Rock Creek Park, Dulles' death, even though anticipated for some days, came as a grievous blow to his wife. But friends said she was bearing up well in her grief. "She's wonderful," a friend told reporters. "She's strong and controlled." In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In a series of speeches in the Middle West the other day, Walter Reuther, presi dent of the United Auto Workers union, told his audi ences he . favors legislation that would put the giver and the taker of bribes in jail together. "I favor legislation that would drive the crooks out of the labor field," he said, "but most of labor's leaders are honest, decent and dedi cated men. I won't go for legislation that would put la bor in a straitjacket." He added: "I want to treat crooks in labv-r and crooks in manage ment with the SAME SET OF STANDARDS. Too often t? labor leader who takes a bribe is punished, but the giver of the bribe on the side of management goes free." WTH Mr. Reuther's state ment that GIVERS and TAKERS of bribes are equal ly guilty before 4he law and should be punished with equal severity, I think all fair-minded persons will agree. Indeed, the bribe giver is if anything MORE reprehen sible than the bribe taker. He is the AGGRESSOR. He ini tiates the illegal transaction. It takes two to make a bar gain. It takes two to complete a bribery deal. It is an old and exceedingly FAIR say ing that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Mr. Reuther was never more right than in this state, ment that the giver and the ta? er of bribes should be judged by the SAMI SET OF STANDARDS. DUT- 13 His statement raises questions.

Past Presidents Honored by Club Past presidents of Medford Kiwanis club were honored and the start of service clubs in this city was reviewed yesterday at a Kiwanis lun cheon meeting at Rogue Val ley Country club. Walter Leverette. a Rotar- ian, who laid some of the ground work for service club organization here, declared that "there has not been any thing in the life of Medford that has meant more in the growth of the community than service clubs? Paul Selby, 1948 president of Kiwanis here, was master of ceremonies here and re viewed the various presiden tial administrations since the club was organized in 1923. It was reported by Club Sec retary E. Ron Rice that the organization has spent. $63, 000 here over the last 10 years for its boys and girls work and in other projects of community benefit. Also on the program yes terday was Miss Pat Rushton, Miss. Jackson County,, who showed the sketching talent she will display in the Miss Oregon Pageant. ' Max Milhollin was intro duced as a renewed member in the club. He was a member here prior to residing several years at Astoria. - cerned with the dangers of too much power in the hands of business in the form of combinations called "trusts." So, in 1890, the congress en acted the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. It prohibited any re straint of interstate or for eign commerce and EVERY MONOPOLY - or ATTEMPT TO MONOPOLIZE. Tri law remained more or less dormant until about 1900, when under the administra tions of Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson proceedings were brought into court and some trusts were found to be illegal. These illegal' trusts (which held monopoly power) were ordered to BREAK UP. As a result of these pro ceedings and the penalties that were imposed, other trusts came into court and signed consent decrees under which certain illegal practices (involving illegal use of too much power) were forbidden to them.
