o MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdford, Or. Cat Sitting Service Now Purring Along Nicely for Vacationing New Yorkers New York-UPD-Modera liv-i ing is in a new breakthrough. Now we got sitters for cats. That's right, cat sitters to an swer the meows of felines f or sa)en by vacationing owners. The movement is in full purr in New York this summer. Mrs. Judith S. Schofield, who invented the institution of cat sitting, admits she got the idea from bafcy sitting. As far as is. known, this is the only organized cat sitting ef forts in the world. It is one of the many activities of the Save a Cat League, Inc., of which Mrs. Schofield is pres ident.. . . The idea is that if you're going on vacation you leave the kitty at home, in house or apartment, and the sitter somes in us)ally twice a day and feeds it, changes its pan, and plays with it adit tle. The service comes in two handy sizes you can hire a sitter; or you can engage in reciprocal cat sitting. Furnished From Pool The hired sitter will charge usually $1.50 a day plus car fare. He is furnished from a pool of about 70 persons in the greater New York area who have volunteered to the league for such duty. The reciprocal sitter is sim ply a case of I'll scratch for your can and you scratch for mine. The league tries to put you in touch with someone in TEAR n WW J J Li U Lu te Icavo the driving to us?

The Save a Cat League; a non-profit outfit incorporated in New York, was founded a year and a half ago by Mrs. Schofield and five other la dies who decided to try to get other people worked up about the plight of homeless, starv ing cats. She says there are 100,000 stray cats in New York City. Find Homes for Strays The league's main activity is finding homes for strays. It places 500 to 1,000 cats a year, she says. The league now has about 300 members. Its list of sponsors includes such prominent names as Basil Rathbone, Gypsy Rose Lee, June Havoc, Genevieve, J a y n e Meadows, Hennione Gingold, and Orson Bean. "There Is no such thing as an unplaceable cat," Mrs. Schofield said. "We advertise that we have cats. Once we placed one that had only three legs. I had a girl come in asking for a six-week-old kitten, and she took an old beat-up tomcat with a cauli flower ear because he jumped in her arms and made love to her. This kind of thing hap pens all the time. We've placed several with tails cut off."

Holding Limited Under the law no person or company-may hold more than Johnson Moves To Speed Strauss Showdown Vote Washington - (UPD - Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson moved today to speed the controversy over Com merce Secretary Lewis L. Strauss to a showdown vote. The Texan announced that he would seek a unanimous agreement to limit debate by balloting "several hours" to each side to compete its argu ments. Johnson said he would schedule ' overtime sessions and a Saturday meeting if debate was not limited. Johnson's statement seemed to be aimed at Senate Repub lican Leader Everett M. Dirk- sen (111.). Dirksen told news men Monday that he opposed a vote this week after Wednes day. 'Un-American Theory' Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) was scheduled to take the floor today in the bitter fight. An outspoken critic of Strauss, O'Mahoney said he would show the nom inee was a proponent of "the un - American theory" that public business should be con ducted in secrecy if the ad ministration wanted it that way. The Senate also was put on notice Monday that one of its chambion long distance talk ers plans to "speak at some lengtn on tne btrauss nom ination. That was the word from Sen. Wayne Morse CD- Ore.) who once held, the Sen ate's filibuster record. Morse made it clear that he would oppose the nomina tion. He announced that the subject of his- speech would be "enemy of the people." Milk Deliverers Threaten Walkout Chicago- (UPD A milk truck drivers union treatened today to join a walkout by milk pro cessors which has practically exhausted milk supplies in the Chicago metropolitan area. Supplies at many stores were depleted. In others they were rapidly dwindling as housewives began a run on milk. A lack of pasteurized milk also curtailed home deliver ies. . Negotiators met through the night in an effort to head off a strike by the milk wagon drivers and at the same time end the one-day walkout by I 2,650 inside workers. ' 46,080 acres in federal oil and gas leases in any one state or more than 100,000 in the new state of Alaska. Until 1954 the limitation was 15, 360 acres. The latest, case - and one in which the accused cooperated with the government in an effort to clear it up was filed in Cheyenne, Wyo., against Olen F. and Martha Featherstone of Roswell, N.M, The charge was "that their 194,120 acres in Wyoming ex ceeded the acreage limit. Sea ton asked that 371 leases be cancelled, Named with the Feather- stones were 146 "contestees' whom the. Interior Depart ment defines as firms or indi viduals who either aided or conspired with the Feather- stones in obtaining the leases, Fraudulent Leases .- two previous cases in volved Walter G. Davis of Casper, Wyo. He was accused with 19 other parties in a com plaint filed at Billings, Mont., of fraudulently obtaining 34 leases embracmg 27,142 acres. The other case against Dav is was filed at Cheyenne. It accused him in connection with 86 leases on 63,459 acres in Wyoming. Named with him were 85 "contestees." The complaints charged Davis with attempting to cir cumvent the lease restrictions by havmg other persons ob tain the leases in their names while he actually held the controlling interest.! The Interior 'Department said the Featherstones opened their leasing records to in spection 'in an effort to clear up the matter as quickly as possible." Can File Appeals In each case the accused were given 30 days to answer the complaints. If the Bureau of Land Management recom mends lease cancellation there after the defendants can file appeals with the Interior De partment. If this ruling is ad verse, they can then appeal to the federal courts The Mineral Leasing Law was enacted in 1920. From 1926 until 1946 the acreage limitation was 7680. Seaton said his department has evi dence of a considerable num ber of acres being held ille gally, j Pendleton Attorney Approved as Judge Washington -(UPD - A Senate Judiciary subcommittee Mon day approved the nomination of Pendleton attorney John F.

We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central Boating Regulation Enforcement Asked By Monday Speaker If motorists were subject to as much regulation as motor- boating enthusiasts the high- way accident rate would be substantially reduced, accord ing to U. o. Marine Master Sgt. Elzy Kees. ! But proper enforcement of j boating regulations is hamp ered locally by lack of man power, Kees stated. The Jackson county sher iffs office should have a full time deputy to police lakes, reservoirs and other public waters, he said.' Kees, a Marine recruiting officer stationed here and a member of the Southern Ore gon Boating club, discussed the growing sport of outboard motor boating yesterday at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable. Boon to Economy He stated that providing better water facilities could prove a boon to the county's economy Kees listed a number of laws applying on Shasta lake as examples of boating regu lation. Among these, he men tioned equipment require ments such as fire extinguish ers, life jackets and lights. He noted that boat operat ors must observe speed limits and display lights at night, cannot operate while intoxi cated, must avoid coming within certain distances of landings, bathing areas, dans and spillways and must ob serve designated areas tor water-skiing or aquaplaning A new Oregon boating law passed this year requires reg istration of all boats over 12 feet in length, Kees reported. He said Oregon boating laws generally follow federal rec ommendations. Club Members to Patrol Kees noted that Jackson County Sheriff Joe Walsh has named 10 members of the Rogue Aqua-Ski club as spe cial deputies to patrol county waters this summer. These deputies, it is under stood, can report violations to the sheriff's office or stop a dangerous violator from op erating until a regular deputy can be called to the scene. The special deputies are not ex pected to make arrests them selves, however. , Their work will be coordi nated by a liaison deputy. Sgt, Veryl vanoose has been as signed the post this summer.. What is needed, Kees said, is a full-fledged deputy with boat, trailer and other equip ment to police local waters Some to Shasta Lak Kees pointed that over 50 locally-owned boats are hauled down to Shasta lake on sum mer week ends because of better facilities there. This, he said, represents a loss to the local economy. With adequate facilities State Employment Director Selected Salem-(UPD-Gov. Mark Hat field announced Monday that David H. Cameron has been appointed director of the new Oregon Employment depart ment. Cameron at present is supervisor of contributions in the department and assumes his new duties July 1. The appointment is subject to confirmation by the State Senate. The 1959 legislature divid ed the State Unemployment Compensation commis sion and the Industrial Accident commission. The Unemploy ment Compensation commis sion's name was changed to the State Employment depart ment and the post of a single director was created.

Kees said he would like to see a big dam on the Rogue river to provide a boating area. The current boom in larger boats and correspondingly larger outboard motors is the result of using the boats for such purposes as sleeping at night, Kees explained. He said a boat could serve in effect as a small house trailer. Kees. estimated, there are some 5,000 boats in Jackson county today. United States To Owe Creditors $285 Billion Washington (UPD-The United States will owe its creditors- most of them its own citizens -an estimated $285 billion on June 30. " ' President Eisenhower ask ed Congress this week to ap prove a four-point recommen dation designed to provide a 'better structure" for this debt and to "safeguard the public credit." He proposed that: -The 41-year-old ceiling of 44 per cent on interest for long-term government bonds be abolished to make the deb entures more attractive to in vestors. Debt Limit Increase -The permanent limit on the national debt be increased from $283 billion to $288 bil lion. -The temporary lid on the debt be raised from $288 bil lion to $295 billion. -The 3.26 per cent inter est ceiling on government sav ings bonds, owned by millions of Americans, be lifted so the treasury could pay 3.75 per cent. The proposed elimination of the limit on long-term bond interest drew most of the ini tial criticism. Democrats said this would benefit big bank ers. Republicans retorted that the steps were necessary be cause Democratic spending had put the country in finan cial hot water.
