I Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF OLD CHIEF SMOOCHUM was known as the best trans mitter of smoke signals west of the Colorado and he might have been even better if his squaw hadn't insisted on continually advising and criticizing him. One day, for instance, he sent up a particularly large puff of smoke. His squaw, wielding a tomahawk, grunted, "STOP YELL ING!" Following Jimmy Du rante' first trip to Eu rope, a hostess cornered him and simpered, "Didn't you simply adore Paris?" "I sure did," nod ded Durante. "I wish now I could'a seen it before the war." "Ah." nodded the hostess. "You mean when Paris wa3 really Paris." "No, ma'am," corrected Jimmy. "I mean when Durante was really Durante!" Mike Connolly defines "peaceful co-existence" as "what the farmer does with the turkey until Thanksgiving." O UM. r Bennett Cert Distributed bjr Kins reiturel Syndicate. Unemployment in Russia Solved by Building Business If there is an unemploy ment problem in a Russian city the Soviet government will build a factory in that city and alleviate the prob lem. Dr. Leonard Mayfield, su perintendent of Medford schools, made the statement when he spoke on the eco nomic structure and functions of the Soviet Union, as he ob served them, to the Jackson County Chamber of Com merce roundtable luncheon at the Jackson hotel Monday. He cited a specific situation In Tbilisi where there was such a problem. The govern ment, which controls all in dustry, moved a tea packing plant to that city, although the tea itself bad to transport ted tome 300 miles from the nearest tea-growing areas on the Caspian sea. Met Free To Mot People are not free to move from community to commun ity as they do in the U- S., he said, so Tbilisi did not have to worry about competitive labor coming in from other areas, and the problem was solved. The government runs all in dustry and is the recipient of all profits. When answering a question as to whether or not Russia was going to abolish income taxes, Dr. Mayfield replied that it was possible for them to do so as they did not have to rely on taxes for income.

Administrative Body own Trade unions do not serve the same function in Russia as they do in this country, he said. A trade union in the So viet Union can be compared to a "ward" in this country, which serves as an adminis trative body. A trade union is comprised of all the workers in an in dustry in a specific area, he said. Each union elects repre sentatives to a council com prised of representatives of all unions in a certain city or area. From this council is elected a governing body which then elects a mayor. This is the city government. . Dr. Mayfield said he was impressed with the number of posters in Russia encouraging them to surpass the United States in almost every aspect of life. - These posters were all over, he said,' and seemed to re place advertising, of there is none in the Union. Afraid To Talk Although there is more freedom in the which Soviet much Soviet Union today than ever before, Dr. Mayfield said people are still afraid to talk privately to visitors, rublicaiiy there is no hesitation, except on cer tain topics, but to talk, to a Russian in private, you must sneak to his home or have him sneak to yours. He said standards of living were high in some areas of the Soviet Union, as Moscow and Leningrad, but low in others, as Kiev,' Tbilisi and the eastern part of the coun try. However, the government pubiically recognizes this dis crepancy and is trying to build up the poorer areas. . . - POWER-PAC CANISTER CLEANER ' Eisenhower's Plan To Visit Italy Cause for Ill a V VI BTIMg rBUfrW W TW J . ..t..1 fT 1n. capitals that President Eisenhower win visit on nis nnpreceaeniea tour next month. By FRANK BARTHOLOMEW President United Press International Rome - (UPD - Stand on any one of Rome's seven hills and you can almost hear official Italy sigh with relief at Presi dent Eisenhower's decision to stop here first on his 11-nation tour next month. It couldn't have been bet ter arranged for the pro-west ern government 01 .Premier Antonio Segni. It gave Segni something tangible to hurl back at the highly vital and vocal Communist minority in Italy..- - The Communists dd their best to substitute the hair shirt for the Roman toga as the of ficial robe of Italy's political leadership. Their favorite charge is that while Italy has continuously and unfailingly cooperated with the Western democracies since the war, the West in general and the US. in particular has failed to reciprocate. Italy; -say the Communists, is taken for granted, some what like a poor relation who never gets more than second class treatment. Taunt Segni : The Red and Left-Wing press took delight in taunting Segni and Foreign Minister Giupseppi Pella for asserted- ly being "brushed off by Eisenhower during their re cent Washington visit. It glee fully reported that Eisenhower received the two Italian states men only once, and then im mediately flew away on vaca tion. ' Italian pride is sensitive on the point of equality -and prestige,- a feeling by no means confined to the leftwing. It is thus easy to understand the relief and enthusiasm of Seg ni's Christian Democratic gov ernment and the Western dip lomatic corps at the premier place assigned to Italy in the President's schedule. A-major point at issue in Italy now is the government's agreement to permit estab lishment- of a NATO missile base in the country. Its im portance was underscored at the time- when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev imme diately ilew. to the Albanian capital of Tirana, a relatively few miles across the Adriatic from Jtaly, and made a war like speech threatening Italy with extinction. Segni held his ground. To day, the Italian technical crew who will man the new missile Although there is a tre mendous building boom going on at the present time, he said he did not see one build ing, new or otherwise, that would meet the specifications of U. S. building codes; He said that the Soviet Un ion is able to accomplish such stunning feats as the first sat ellite because the govern ment is able to bring the best minds of the country together to concentrate on specific problems and hands them "blank checks" to solve them, no matter what the cost. ' ' ' - ' Relief base are being trained in the United States. Receives No U.S- Aid The 1,800,000 registered Communists in Italy normally constitute about 11 per cent of the electorate. But they manage to attract about 22 per cent of the total vote; and with the support of left-wing Socialists, they can get the left-wing total up by another 14 per cent. The Communists are mak ing much of the fact that Italy is neither asking nor receiving , any U.S. aid whatever (out side of military aid); that she continues to "take orders" from the West; that in spite of this she has never been admit ted to the top echelon of Western policy making. Par ticular capital is made of the fact that France, which has declared herself a part of the Big Three, has refused NATO permission to operate a mis sile base on her soil. . Scant Comfort Premier Segni, in his ef forts to prevent the Commu nists from unhorsing him, draws scant comfort from cur rent activities of President Giovanni Gronchi. Under the Italian constitution Gronchi is not supposed to be a leader in policy. But despite this, the Italian president, always left of center, has been increasing his activities. His latest com mitment is a forthcoming visit to Premier Khrushchev at the Kremlin. Wall Street Chatter New York -(UPD- Passions are easily . spent-and fickle, according to Inside Wall Street. Sputnik stocks, and other members of the jet-set were clobbered during August and September, the publication points out, but since . then many . have made dramatic comebacks, topping in some instances market highs real ized before the August-Sep tember debacle. But, it adds, these "hot shot" securities have climbed back too fast. "It is trite to argue that such fantastic gains are inconsistent with standards . . . hitherto hon ored as gospel." Inside Wall Street believes a . sustained correction is in evitable. ". . .

Newspaper Strikers May Hot Be Paid Salem -(UPS- The State Em ployment department said M o nd a y it doubts if any claims filed by strikers in the Portland newspaper walkout will be paid. D. H. Cameron, Oregon em plolyment commissioner, said "Oregon has no provision to pay strikers. As far as I know, none of the claims will be paid." He said this also applies to members of other unions whose members are idle be cause of the Stereo typers walkout. Cameron said, however, that all claims are being tak en.
