TUESDAY, AUGUST 16. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Bernard Baruch Not To Be Interviewed On 90th Birthday By JAMES L. KILGALLEN New York - IUPD - Bernc-d M. Baruch will be 00 next Friday but the "elder states man" and counselor of presi idents is determined to get by this milestone without suo mitting to the annual "birth day interview." "I'm not talking," he said, as he relaxed in his Manhattan home, whiling away a full hour with a UPI reporter and photographer. He posed for pictures but declined to be interviewed. Baruch told why. He con siders himself a "private cit izen with no responsibilities," and, as such, he does not feel he should comment on world affairs at this critical time. Problems to Com He believes that almost every President of the United States since Wilson has had more difficult problems than his predecessor. And each of them had to leave important problems unresolved. It is his opinion that the next President will inherit even more difficult problems than those now confronting President Eisenhower. So a visit with Baruch pro duces, journalistically, a you-write-your-own ticket story without quotes from the friendly and genial Baruch. Baruch, tall, erect and silver-haired, looks fine. The fame he has attained rests lightly upon him. He is lead ing a fairly busy but unhur ried life. Admires Churchill ) He recently returned from an eight weeks trip abroad. While in England he visited his intimate friend Winston Churchill, a man whom he says he has never known to make an ignoble proposal. On the wall of Baruch's liv ing room is a large painting of Churchill. Baruch has long admired Churchill and Wood row Wilson as truly great men. Unemployment I 1 1 : l I IIISUrdllLH ndllHQ I Salem (UPD-A quarter cen tury of unemployment insur ance was hailed Monday by acting Gov. Walter Pearson. Pearson, who is acting gov ernor in the absence from the state of Gov. Mark Hatfield, said "25 years ago, on Aug. 14, the Social Security Act passed by the 74th Congress of the United States was sign ed into law. The federal state unemployment insurance pro vision was established by the state of Oregon three months later. "High commendation is due those who took this forward step a quarter of a century ago and who have participated in the program over the years, a result of such humanitarian legislation which has touched the lives of so many of our citizens." Pearson said that between 1938 and June, 1960, 1,538,278 valid claims have been pro cessed in Oregon. tacn day Baruch takes a little exercise, usually a brisk walk in nearby Central Park or a stroll from his home to his mid - Manhattan office where he is putting the fin ishing touches on his second book of memoirs. This book deals with his career in public office. Baruch has long been recognized as a distinguished and remark able American-one of the na tion's soundest thinkers on economic affairs. He began his career as a $3-a-week of fice boy in Wall Street and became a millionaire before he was 35. On his strolls Baruch talks to the elevator man, the taxi driver, the traffic cop. He re tains "the common touch." He is a familiar personality in New York, and is often seen on the dais at important banquets. Town Government Shifts Politics Nanticoke, Pa. - IUPD - For ty years of Republican par ty control came to an abrupt end here Sunday. The mayor, city council and school board shifted their political allegiance to the Democratic party. The officials declared in a joint statement they felt "the best interests of the citizens would be served and imple mented by a change of par ty affiliation to that of the Democratic party, the now dominant party in the state of Pennsylvania and the coun ty of Luzerne." "Party loyalty is meritori ous providing it does not mit igate against good govern ment," the statement said. "To be blindly loyal is to stagnate. We must change to progress." Mayor Charles A. Makar charged that the county GOP had become a "party of very narrow cliques for the sole interest and benefit of a priv ileged few."

"They ought to be drunk or anyway a little tipsy," said Wood who manages a poultry combine that markets some 20,000 birds a day. Wood said he was making his views known well in ad vance of Thanksgiving so tur key breeders could lay In sup plies of brandy, Scotch, bour bon and gin. Stupid Fellow Although Wood's organiza tion handles mostly chickens he has made a spare time study of the turkey. He does not have a high regard for its intelligence. "Actually," h e confided, "the turkey is rather a stupid fellow. And that is why al though the Americans raise magnificent birds they fre quently turn out to be not as tasty as they might be once they are on the table." In order to give a practical demonstration Wood ordered himself a double whisky and went on. "When it comes time to kill him the turkey senses some thing is wrong but he does not know what, which is per haps just as well. He gets all tense and this fear or fright quickly affects the quality of his flesh. It loses some of its taste. It may become tough. "Now I have myself con firmed that the following methods of avoiding this V'jal ly works." Can't Take It "Just before you kill your turkey for Thanksgiving Day or whatever the occasion, feed him a few belts of whisky or brandy or anything alcoholic he'll accept. "A turkey can't take it. A few sips and he'll be starting to go-or a few grains of rum soaked feed will do it. Estacada - IUPD - Cecil Coon rod, about 35, Oak Grove, was found Sunday after be ing lost overnight in the rug ged Clackamac river coun try 30 miles east of here. He may staaiter-but he will also relax. And that is the time to help him fulfill his destiny as the centerpiece of the dining table." Wood said that in his opin ion a happy bird is a tender bird. "A nip or two will get a turkey into that carefree state," he. said. Looking For A . . SHOWER GIFT IDEA? Ideal for the "Moth.r-TVBe" ii a year's diaper lervlce.
