Gunnar Attacks Porter's Charges Salem - (EPD - State Republi can Chairman Peter Gunnar said in a statement Thursday that charges leveled by Rep. Charles Porter (D-Ore.) re garding Gov. Mark Hatfield and the 1960 census were . . . an insult to the intelli gence of his constituents." Porter had expressed fear that a political patronage sys tem would be used to select census officials and enumer ators in Oregon. Gunnar replied "Porter knew that in Oregon the Re publican party has refused to follow the shoddy patronage practices of previous Demo cratic administrations with respect to the census." Gunnar said Porter knew "there were no political tests for census workers." The census story was aired by A. Robert Smith, a Wash- mgton correspondent for Northwest newspapers. Sen. Richard Neuberger (D Ore.) has suggested that school teachers be used to help out in the census taking. Gunnar said he wrote Gov. Hatfield assuring him there would be no political patron age in hiring census workers. Neuberger Plan Hit by Gunnar Grants Pass - (UPD - Republi can State Chairman Peter Gunnar Thursday criticized Sen. Richard L. Neuberger's proposal that the United States spend $66 million pav ing the Alaska highway. Gunnar told a GOP lunch- t eon gathering that paving the highway through Canada "will probably cost many Ore gon sailors, longshoremen, truckers and railroaders their jobs as Alaskan trade is divert ed away from Portland and Seattle." H called it a "boon doggling" project. "Sen. Neuberger apparently does not care that his latest irresponsible proposal for rat- holing the hard-earned dollars of American citizens will hurt his fellow Oregonians by very effectively sending the boom ing Alaska. trade away from the Northwest," Gunnar said. Gunnar called the highway plan "a wilderness freeway which leads nearer to the prosperous eastern trade centers." The first chamber of com merce in America was char tered in New York City in 1768. TANK THIEF Monrovia, Calif. (CPA - An M74 National Guard tank was moved out into the street when the armory floors were being resurfaced.

Ferry Boat Saves Four From Plane Seattle (CPU Four persons were rescued by a passing ferry boat late Thursday night when their four-place plane went down in Puget Sound. Dwane Tjomsland, 42, Los Angeles building contractor, said he was letting down for a landing at Boeing Field when suddenly he felt the plane hit something. "I looked at the altimeter and it read zero," he sad. "I couldn't believe it." Tjomsland, his wife, and their two children, Lynn, 23 months, and Kenny, 6, got out of the cabin and stood on the wing of the plane as it began to sink. Tjomsland shot off three parachute flares. The ferry Tillicum, en route to the Col man Dock here, stopped and picked up the four. Tjomsland had left Anchor age, Alaska, earlier in the evening. for It's . . .

REG. $54.75 '41 95 Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL New York-Boris Kolodyozhn, first secretary of the Soviet Embassy, criticizing American courts as he put the four young Kozmin brothers aboard a plane for Russia to rejoin their parents: "American justice detained them for five years. They were taken from their parents. We are glad to deliver them back lo their parents: New York-The Rev. C. Kilmer Myers, conducting in New York's richest and most famous church the funeral for a 15-year-old Negro girl killed because of a gang fight Sunday night: "If you cared about her, then let this be your memorial to her. Let there be no more sudden death in the streets of the lower east side." London-Novelist A. J. Cronin, complaining that after a 23-year fight the Sovie government would not even pay him in caviar the royalties for three million copies of his book sold in the USSR: "Meanwhile, I receive from my Russian readers an enor mous effusive fan mail and requests for autographs and pho tographs. This is undoubtedly the unkindest cut of all." Moscow-Leonard Bernstein, conductor of the New York Philharmonic orchestra, replying to a Soviet music critic who called him "cocky" and immodest for interrupting a con cert to explain modern music and for repeating one compo sition. "Repetition of it had been demanded by the audience their rhythmic clapping meant 'again.' So in my very best Russian I asked if they wanted the piece again and, when they responded with cheers, I played it." The Medical Roundup Emeritus Consultant In Medicine, Mr.yo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, .Mayo Cllaie So You Have Glaucoma As I have said many times in this column, one of the com mon causes of blindness is glaucoma. 1 1 tends to come usually after the age of 40, and it is more likely to come to women, one of whose par ents or grand parents had glaucoma. Dr. Alvarez Every oerson who has any trouble with vision, which is not quickly Pi' Reorganization Eyed by Board Salem - (UPD - The State Board of Education is not go ing to look kindly on school district reorganization plans which allow small districts to stay out. The Board voted 3-2 to re ject a Newberg area proposal to make most of the present union high school district into a reorganized district, but without two elementary dis tricts northwest and west of Newberg. Purpose of the reorganiza tion law is to make districts large enough for a 12-grade education and eliminate over lapping authorities. In rejecting the Newberg proposal, the Board felt it could not approve isolating small districts. ' Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction James L. Turnbull said the board's ac tion was one of major policy importance. But he said he did not think it would block re organization which is in pro gress throughout the state. Kafy Official May Visit in City Frank J. Heiling, vice pres ident for industrial develop ment, Missouri - Kansas-Texas railroad lines, has been ap pointed vice president for sales and service, it was an nounced today. Heiling, whose headquar ters will be in St. Louis, Mo., and Dallas, Tex., will visit Medford occasionally to be come acquainted with cus tomers in this area. The local MKT office is in the D'Anjou building, 328 South Central ave. T. J. Harnsberger is.district freight sales representative. and satisfactorily controlled with the help of new glasses, should immediately see a good ophthalmologist. People with failing vision, when not help ed by glasses, should not keep going from store to store, get ting new pairs which also do not help. Usually, an optometrist will advise such a person to go quickly to an ophthalmologist who will measure the tension of the eyeball with a tonome ter. This is the one sure test. Also, an expert often will di agnose glaucoma, or suspect it, the minute he looks into the eye. A few persons who are coming down with glau coma will feel pain in an eye or they will see halos around lights, but, as Dr. Everett R, Veirs says in his new book, So You Have Glaucoma' (Gruene and Stratton, New York), one must not depend on these symptoms, because many persons rapidly lose their sight without much, if any, warning. By the time they know they are in trouble it may be too late to do much for them. Because of this, and because occasionally my eye feels uncomfortable or my vision gets a bit fuzzy, the other day I went and had my ophthalmologist check the tension in my eyes. Fortun ately, it was low. Then he looked into my eyes and cheer ed me by saymg that I have no arteriosclerosis or harden ing of the little arteries. When recognized in time, glaucoma often can be kept under control. If an ophthal mologist tells a man that he must put drops in his eyes every day, the man had bet ter do it! He cannot afford to go, as some people now do, to a quack so that he can be given Bates' eye exercises! If he does that, he had better start saving money for a See ing Eye dog and a white cane Everyone with glaucoma would do well to buy Dr, Veirs' book. He tells people with this disease not to drink a lot of coffee or tea; not to drink large volumes of fluid; not to live constantly with sun-glasses on, as many neur otic people do, not to smoke too much; and not to get into dithers. REFRIGERATOR VICTIM New York (UPD Brooklyn salesman Nat Finkelbrand re turned home Thursday to find food from the refrigerator stacked on a table. He opened the refrigerator. Jammed in side was the body of his 19-year-old daughter, Ann Mari lyn, clad in a bathing suit. Po lice listed the death as an ap parent suicide. Pacific Coast Favored Region The Pacific coast and the European continent lead the list of preferred domestic and foreign travel objectives of over 2,000 members of the American Automobile association. The Oregon State Motor as sociation reported the results of a poll conducted through affiliated motor clubs AA found that 43.6 per cent of the voters chose the Pacific coast, leading all others by a wide margin. The mountain states were preferred by 17.7 per cent and the south Atlantic by 17.1 per cent. Participating AAA mem bers residing on the Pacific coast would prefer vacation ing closer to home, according to the survey. Compared with the 54.8 per cent of New Eng enders who would go to the Pacific coast, only 9 per cent of participating residents on the coast would travel to New England. Asked for preference of des tinations abroad, AAA mem bers who took part over whelmingly selected the Euro pean continent. Toastmasters Elect Minnesotan San Francisco (UPD Emil H.

Mucey, Washing ton, Pa., was voted first vice president, and Lt. Cmdr. Her man Hoche, Silver Springs, Md., second vice president. OUST GOLDEN ROD Montgomery, Ala. (UPD The camellia has officially ousted the golden rod as Ala bama's state flower. Gov. John Patterson Thursday signed a bill making the switch. Camellia fanciers had demanded it on the grounds that the golden rod caused hay fever. More than six million germs can be carried by the common house fly. Oregon Good Place For Fever Sufferers Oregon is being recom mended to hay fever sufferers as a vacation area during late summer when they are most uncomfortable at home, ac cording to the Oregon State Motor association. The U.S. public health serv ice recommends a change of location for the allergy vic tims during the August-September period when hay fever is most widespread. American Automobile asso ciation is suggesting to trav elers that Oregon offers Cen tennial activities while also having favorable conditions for hay fever relief. Other western states as favorable are Arizona, California, Ne vada, Washington (except the Wenatchee valley), New Mex ico, Utah and Wyoming. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.
