House Debates
Federal-State
Statutes Bill
Washington-UPD-The House
began debate Monday, on a
controversial bill to prevent
federal laws from nullifying
similar state statutes.
' The measure, opposed by
the Eisenhower administra
tion, was expected to win ap
proval after two or three days
of maneuvering. Opponents,
led by Chairman Emanuel
Celler (D-N.Y.) of the House
Judiciary Committee, prom
ised a vigorous fight. They
planned first to try to block
consideration.
To Overturn Decisions
The bill is designed to over
turn a number of recent Su
preme Court decisions. Its
main feature would bar courts
from killing state laws unless
Congress specifically agreed
in a federal statute or there
was an irreconcilable conflict
with a federal rule.
The Justice Department op
poses the measure as "danger
ous' legislation which would
cause confusion and might
subordinate federal laws to
state regulations. Supporters
contend the bill merely would
affirm the intent of the Con
stitution.
The House approved the
same bill last year 241 to 155.
The Senate shelved a slightly
different version 41 to 40
three days before the session
ended.
Interest Rate Bill
Other congressional news:
Interest: Sen. Pat McNa
mara (D-Mich.) introduced a
bill which woulo direct the
Federal Reserve System to
buy government securities if
necessary to keep down inter
est rates. McNamara said the
measure was needed to force
the Treasury and Federal Re
serve to work together to halt
the "ruinous fiscal policy" of
the Eisenhower administra
tion Germ War: Maj.. Gen. Mar
shall Stubbs, chief Army
chemical officer, told the
House Science and Space com
mittee behind closed doors
what this country could ex-
pect from Russia in the way
-of germ, chemical and radio
logical warfare if a conflict
broke out. He also described
the Army's efforts to develoo
defenses against such warfare?

Morse (Favors Small Partes Scattered Along Coast father Than One Big . One
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special) - Sen.
Wayne Morse has an idea that
a string of separate small
parks scatter-
e d along the
scenie Oregon
coast would
be better than
one relatively
large park em
bracing the
entire Oregon
dunes be
tween Flor-
a. Robt. grnit e n c e and
Reedsport.
"We don't need 35,000 acres
in one big block," Morse said
in an interview. "My hunch is
that we might have a better
park system' if we had sev
eral coastline parks." ;
He said there ought to be
"some sand dune area and
some that is not sand dune
area." He didn't specify what
areas he had in mind.
Morse said he has t "many
reservations" about including
in the proposed Oregon Dunes
National Seashore the inland
lakes which the National Park
Service has indicated it would
recommend for inclusion in
the park area. There have
been- a number of protests
from residents of this area
who have summer cottages
along the lakes.
Area Highly Rated
But Sen. Richard L. Neu-
berger said "I'm not going to
sponsor a bill just to preserve
some sand. The Park Service
wouldn't go for that, anymore
than they would have agreed
to make a park just out of
Crater Lake, letting the Jog
ging companies cut timber
right up to the edge of the
lake."
Neuberger said he had re
ceived a letter from the Park
Service which explained that
the area under consideration
is highly rated for a national
seashore because of its "com
bination of values."
"The beach and the large
dunes are extraordinarily
fine, picturesque and useful,"
Neuberger was told' by A. T.
Scoyen, acting director of the
Park Service. "However, they
are complimented in an extra
ordinary manner by the series
of beautiful freshwater lakes
and bordering forests very
close behind the dunes and,
additionally, by the fascinat
ing spectacle of the Sea Lion
TABLE ROCK
Miss Bighorn Sells Home
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock - Miss Grace
Bigham has sold her home and
small acreage on what we had
called Bigham lane, as most
of those residing along the
lane were Bighams or rela
tives. Miss Grace informs us that
the Bigham family have
changed the name to Pumice
lane, and erected . a unique
sign at the south entrance giv
ing, the names of each family
residing there. The Paul Hew
itts of Medford are the pur
chasers and expect to take
possession some time after
July 1. They have two small
children and Hewitt is a tim
ber worker. Miss Bighanr is
negotiating for a trailer house
which she might park in some
ones back yard.
Another sale of real estate
and home is said to be in the
final stages of closing in the
community and other parties
are showing much interest in
the Table Top Ranch, which
would really be a big deal if
sold as a unit, which :we- un
derstand is the way it Is to
be sold.
Haley's ferry, operated here
in 1853, so reads a sign on
the south side of the river
at the Bybee bridge. Back in
the 80's this ferry was called
the Bybee ferry, and a deed
given by William Bybee and
wife in 1871 to a piece of land,
states that the buyer, or as
signs shall not permit the use
of any part of the land as a
landing for any ford on Rogue
river. Notwithstanding,' this,
there was a ford used to cross
the river and a lane running
south from the Table Rock rd.
along the boundary line be
tween the Nealon and Pickens
farms. The ferry fare was 25
cents one way, so going to
town by ford, one could save
50 cents.
The last meeting of the sea
son for the Table Rock Ladies
club at TouVelle park, Wed
nesday, was attended by some
25 persons counting- the
youngsters. Games, with
prizes for the winners were
enjoyed, as were the spacious
green lawn and the cool shade
of the oak trees. Refresh
ments of ice cream cones,
punch and coffee were served.
We understand that the
park' attendance is running
ahead of last year, when it
registered according to park
meters, 125,000.

abundance of water, but Bob
says farmers on the north side

in our opinion, the essence of

"To chip away at its unit
character," added Scoyen, "by
planning and permitting an
assortment of unrelated and
conflicting uses, such as rec
reation home sites, paper and
chemical mills, logging, public
campgrounds and business
ventures of various kinds,
would be to reduce the char
acter and public benefit of
the area to mediocrity."
Wants To Explore Ideas
Morse said he wants to ex
plore his ideas during con
gressional hearings in Oregon
this fall. In general, he said,
"we should do what will best

Character Change Seen .
In the Park Service letter
to Neuberger, Scoyen said:
"The present sparse use of
the lake shore for residential
and recreation service busi
nesses has not thus far great
ly changed their character and
potentiality for public recrea
tion. Unless, however, there
is a comprehensive program
for preservation of the essen
tial park values involved, be
fore it is too late, it is highly
probable that commercial de
velopment' will continue to
spread over the area and
change its character to the
point where its potentials as
a national seashore will be ir
revocably lost."
'FLYING DOCTOR' SOS
Lisbon-(UPD-The Portuguese
Health Ministry is planning a

"Show me a Rambler owner a
I'll show you a Rambler salesman
!popuij
WE Rambler owners are the most enthu
siastic "car salesmen" you ever met That's
one reason why Rambler is the biggest sales
success in America today.
Here's what we Rambler owners '
told Popular Mechanics Magazine:
Every month, Popular Mechan
ics surveys 1 ,000 new-car owners
of one make of car. In the May
1959 issue they reported:
"RAMBLER OWNERS are
a happy bunch . . . and owners of ;
the Rambler Six are happiest of
all. Not one owner of a Rambler
Six rates his car 'poor.
Best Record by any American' Car
"Actually, less than one percent (0.9 percent to be pre
cise) of all Rambler owners give their cars a poor
rating. This is the best record achieved by any American
car since our Owners Report series began in 1950 . . .
usually four or five percent rate their cars 'poor.' Oc
casionally, as many as 10 percent."
Read these excerpts from Popular Mechanics and
see what we owners like best about our Ramblers:
. "We are averaging 19 miles per gallon over-all
and feel that this She will get from 23 to 25 miles
on long trips." New Mexico office manager.
"The ride is a pleasant astonishment to us alL" Ohio
school supervisor.
"Body is very tight Usually by checkup time
there are rattles to be taken care of. Rambler
has none." Maine housewife.
"Gasoline and oil bills are almost half what they were
in my previous car." N. M. secretary.
"This car was finished at the factory. The dealer
didn't have to finish the job as is the case in so
many other makes." Nebraska banker.
"Can park the car in the garage without having to add
onto it." North Dakota supervisor.
"Its maneuverability in traffic has cut 10 minutes
off my driving time to and from work." Wash
ington, D. C, scientist.
"Styling is smart and modern, but not gaudy."
Virginia mathematician.
"Ample space . . . actually almost as large as the
so-called large cars." Alabama engineer.
"Good legroom in front and rear." Pennsylvania
schoolbus contractor. -
"Individually adjustable front seats mean I am
not crowded when my wife (who is shorter than I
am) drives." Maine 'engineer.
"Very good readability. Very stable on corners."
Montana salesman.
"The V-8 has good power and pick up. It will
stretch out if need be." South Carolina payroll
supervisor.
"You can get in and out of it easily." Michigan
school director.
"Comparable competitive cars were $300 to 94fJ
higher and the Rambler finish puts then if the
shade." Louisiana attorney.
Owners know that Rambler gives them basic excel
lencethe best built, finest quality car in Amerj.
That's why most of us tell everybody including tiff)
folks from Popular Mechanics how happy we X9
with our 1959 Ramblers. And you can bet that th
"word of mouth" selling is one big reason bf
Rambler is the success car of the year. '
Rambler outsells all but two American mac
state after state from Maine to California. -
Rambler outsells all of the five most popular forel
makes combined. ,
If the 1959 models of the make you're driving o
have sized and priced themselves out of all reasot,
why don't you do like I did? See your Rambler DegSf .
