New York -BF&- A hundred
years "ago an artist shaped
some pieces of lead into a tube

drying out.

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.

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

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.

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.

questions.

'Area Education
District' Bill
Gets Signature
Sale-(UPD -Gov. Mark Hat
field Wednesday signed into
law a bill setting up "area
education districts" in Oregon
to provide two years of post
high school education near
home.
The bill replaces the cur
rent community college set
up. Citizens of various areas of
the state would vote on estab
lishing an education district
for training local youth.
One third of the cost would
come from the state, one third
from the education area and
one third from student tuition.
The act is not compulsory,
but merely allows such new
districts to be formed.
Areas Suggested
The schools would provide
vocational education, two
years of college training in
other subjects and also adult
education programs.
Fifteen county areas are
suggested by the act:
. .Washington and Multno
mah
. .Clackamas
. .Yamhill, Polk, Benton,
Marion and Linn.
. .Tillamook and Lincoln.
. Xane
. .Douglas
. .Coos and Curry
. .Josephine and Jackson
. .Klamath and Lake
. .Deschute, Jefferson and
Crook
. .Hood River, Wasco,' Sher
man and Gilliam.
. .Morrow, Umatilla, Wal
lowa and Union.
. .Baker and Malheur
. .Wheeler, Grant and Har
ney. 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.
