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

THERE'S A GREYHOUND AGENT NEAR YOU
Tuesday, Jum U, 1959
your neighborhood who'll
take care while you're on va
cation if you return the com
pliment. 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."

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

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.

locally, he said, southern Ore
gon could attract Californians
and other tourists here on
week ends'. 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.
The House Ways and Means
Committee began hearings on
the recommendations immedi
