1 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. IV Sunday, June 7. 1959 Attack by Morse Places Johnson In New Crossfire Washington - (UPD - Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.) yes terday leveled a new attack at the Demochatic congres sional leadership and thus placed Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tev.) in a new crossfire of criticism from conservative Republicans and liberal Dem ocrats. Both flanks have recently stepped up charges that the Johnson-led Senate has not acomplished much so far this year. But in the main the , rangy Texan has shrugged them off in silence public ly at least. Morse, in a speech yester day at Bronxville, N. Y., as serted the Democratic leader ship is "more afraid of bad publicity in a reactionary press than they are 'afraid of going back on campaign promises." . As a result, he told an Am ericans for Democratic Action audience at Sarah Lawrence college, "the Ufeblood has been drained out" of the "lib eral" election victory because "the liberals in congress have not stood by their guns." The Oregon Democrat said the liberals in congress al lowed themselves "to be ren dered toothless by the same conservative-reactionary coa lition which has dominated congress for decades." He said the voters who fa vored the Democrats last year might change their minds in 1960 if the leadership of John son and Speaker Sam Ray burn (Tex.) produces an "out put no different" from a con gress led by Senate Republi can Leader Everett M. Dirk sen (111.) and House GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck (Ind.) Johnson declined to com ment on the attack. iVi linify L 1 TBADEE-ON SPECIAL! On All Ranges! W Phce SP 2-5284f Medforf Ph.

C. Its value to day is listed at better than $17,000. It is a bluish stamp with a design consisting of a series of tiny circles forming an ob long about the words "Beck man's City Post Paid 2 Cts." It was issued in 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War, and while others are known that were put out by the same firm for a per iod of ten years earlier, it is the most valuable. But the value of many of the others is quite consider able, too, and none of them are worth less than $30 or $40, the majority of them hav ing a value well into the hun dreds of dollars. The City Post of Charleston was owned by at least five men during an 11-year period, the owner's name being listed DEER-AND-DOE DESIGN GLASSWARE HIGHLY PRIZED Of the various kinds of American glassware of inter est to collectors, one of the more valuable and among the easiest to distinguish is the one known as the "deer and pine tree" or "deer and doe" design. It is found mainly in pressed glass "and was prob ably produced in the 1870s and a little later. The quantity produced must have been con siderable, for despite its value,, it is not at all uncom mon in secondhand and sal vage shops. The design's principal fea ture is an oblong panel con taining two deer and some times what looks like an at tempt at a pine tree as well. For example, on the gob lets, which are among the most collectible pieces, there are four such panels. While the lip of the goblet is round, its sides have a flattened ef fect, making the piece almost squareish. On two of the op posite panels the pine tree is 'VINGT-COUPS USED WIDELY. IN 19TH CENTURY The modern machine pistol, used with such effect by ground forces in World War II and Korea, had its counter part nearly a century ago in the form of a French re volver. The weapon was a Le Page "vingt-coups," or 20-shot job that threw a lead bullet of seven millimetre size and with just as great accuracy as the revolvers of today. At any rate, recently, I saw a target clustered, with one of these old guns, and though it could have been done more rapidly with a modern weapon, " it couldn't have been done more accurately. A revolver could carry so many charges by having two cylinders, or rather one cylinder with inner and outer rows of chambers. There were also two barrels the upper one for the outer chambers and the lower for the inner. Those on the weapon I say were a trifle over six inches, but usually, or so I am told, on these weapons the barrel length was somewhat shorter, since the prime consideration Estate Left To Help Needy Boys Portland - (UPD - A Russian immigrant who died of cancer May 17 has left his estate to help needy youths get an edu cation. Samuel Edeland, a tailor, migrated from Russia many years ago and lived -in New York, southern Oregon and Portland. He was in his 60s. His will was filed in Pro bate Court Thursday, asking that the estate of nearly $5,000 be used to educate poor boys at Jesuit High school near Beaverton. The will asked that boys- of all creeds and colors be eligible for the scholarships, to be awarded by school officials. Recipients will be asked to repay the money, if possible, to keep the fund self-perpetuating. Skien, the town in Norway where Henrik Ibsen was born, is marking Henrik Ib sen Day this year.

And it is quite possible that there may have been another owner too, since today the owner ship of private mail carrying firms can usually be determ ined only by the discovery of one of their stamps. The point is a good one to remember, for whoever finds a privately printed stamp should not assume that just because it is not listed in any catalogue, it therefore has no value. In fact, not all the stamps issued by any of the old private carriers are neces sarily known. An example is found in a variation of the $1.7,000 item mentioned above. It is the same stamp, except for the name of "Martin's City Post," and has a listed value of around $2,000. When one of these latter was found a few years ago, but reddish rather than blue, the finder sold it quickly for $1,500 despite its relatively poor condition. to be seen, but it is missing from the other two. Usually this design is found in clear glass. However, it ap peared in other colors also. I have seen the goblets in blue, yellow, apple green and ame thyst. It has also been report ed in amber and rose. The prices usually received for the clear glass goblets are in the $10-to-$15 range. Those in color bring much more. One in amethyst that I saw recently sold readily for $35, and the buyer commissioned the purchase of any others in the same color in order to make up a set. Another piece in this' pat tern, and which is sometimes found in company with the goblets, is a tray. Those I have seen measure about 10V? by 15 inches . and have one central panel that may be with or without the pine tree, The value of the tray is from $30 up, depending on whether it is in clear glass or colored. was not accuracy but the quantity of shots that could be fired before reloading. The piece, was loaded through a loading gate, and the empty cases were ejected by means of a rod along the side of the barrels whicl were marked with the name and Paris address of the manu facturer. ' Though these weapons gen erally came equipped witn wooden grips, those on the one I saw were of ivory carved with Indian heads on either side. A substantial num ber of these guns were used in the Far West by French travellers and gold seekers who considered it a superior weapon for use against In dians; The value of these guns to day runs up to $200 for the ordinary model in good con dition. Carved ivory grips, de pending again on the quality of .the carving and the ivory, add from $30 to around $100 more (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) i Youth Confesses Strangling Chi Philadelphia - (UPD - A high school honor student admitted Thursday night he strangled a 3-year-old neighborhood girl when she resisted his ad vances, police said. Investigators said Edward J. Cooney Jr., 15, admitted the slaying of little Becky Holt shortly after confessing the crime to a Roman Catho lic Priest who in turn re minded him of this "obliga tion to the authorities." Cooney, a 6-foot, 150- pound basketball player and sopho more at St. Joseph's Prepara tory school said he was seized with a "sudden urge" and strangled the girl, according to police. , BRILL METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work Stainless, Galvanized and Copper Fabrication 2287 West Main PHONE SP 2-4440 Janrick Cancels Operation Plans Janrick of Oregon, Inc. has cancelled plans to start a helicopter and fixed-wing air craft charter service and maintenance operation at Medford airport this year, a spokesman has reported. "janrick will have no fur ther activity in the area this year," the spokesman said. He described future plans as "in definite." The Medford city council had authorized lease contracts with Janrick and one other operator for space southeast of the terminal building. The Janrick contract was never signed, and the firm's cancel lation leaves in doubt the pro posed city 1 development of a taxiway in that area, at least for the immediate future. The Oregon Centennial commission last month can celled a contract giving Jan rick an exclusive franchise for helicopter service at the Centennial Exposition.
