Auto Industry Supports Kennedy's Highway Tax Plan Washington -H'PD- The Auto mobile Manufacturers Associ ation today supported Ken nedy's highway tax program, which is expected to come under heavy lire from truck' ing and oil concerns. Commerce Secretary La ther H. Hodges was sched' uled to launch the bill on its rocky road in Congress today before the House Ways and Means Committee. The bill, designed to get more money to speed construc tion of interstate highways, would cancel a scheduled one cent cut in gasoline taxes and boost taxes on trucks, diesel fuel, tires and other items. Study Wanted Even the automobile man ufacturers hedged on the money part of the proposal. In a statment prepared for the committee, the association said "conclusions should not be reached on the proper level of commercial vehicle high way taxes" until after a study of the American Association of State Highway Officials' five-year road test. Democrats and Republicans have predicted the bill will have "considerable difficulty" in getting through the com mittee, let alone all of Con gress. Other congressional news: Eisenhower: The House was expected to pass with no op position a bill to restore for mer President Dw'ight D. Ei senhower to his rank of five star General of the Army. The bill, suggested ' by President Kennedy, would put Eisen hower back on the active list but would not pay him. He gets his regular ex-president's . pension and allowances in stead. Feed Grain: The adminis tration's emergency feed grain bill was bogged down in a House-Senate struggle over i t s enforcement provision. The Senate knocked out the provision, claiming it would set up the agriculture secret tary as a "feed grain czar," but the House left it in, claim ing the bill to curb surpluses was useless without it. A joint conference committee seemed far from agreement on the matter. Jobless: The Senate Finance Committee sent Labor Secre tary Arthur J. Goldberg scurrying after statistics to try to avoid a delay in the admin istration's unemployment ben efits extension plan. Chairman Harry F. Byrd said he didn't see how the committee could proceed without a breakdown on what each state will pay and what I I tHe 1 elaHy I W I the I BONUS! I t i . Ask yoilrjfavorite I CalOre lectrical .

Lenten Message BY BISHOP ANSON PHELPS STOKES JR. Episopal Bishop of Massachusetts (Written for UPI) There are three things need ed in these anxious times which faith in God can pro vide. The first is a sense of His providence. Beneath the un certainties of our day, God rules. The surface currents may be the work of evil man, but underneath the tides of His purposes arc running. Hu man bitterness, subversion, exaggerated nationalism used for selfish ends are evil. Yet the emergence of new peoples into freedom and their desires for justice are part of God's purposes. Our task is to dis cern His will within the move ments of our time and to seek His guidance for our nation and for ourselves. Secondly there is the fact of God s companionship. God is not just a "first cause" which leaves us to struggle alone In these historic days. He is a divine companion Who can be with us not only to guide but to strengthen us. We may not know here history leads us but we can be assured that with His presence we can go forward unafraid. Finally in the worldwide fellowship of the Christian community we find guidance as together we bring our par tial insights to the common Medford SECTION B MEDFORD, Lazy Steelhead Won't Jump So Don't Make Post Lazy steelhead which failed to jump for Saturday Eve ning Post pliotographer Jack Fields were responsible for a two-page picture of a pave ment burner which appears in the March 11 issue of the magazine. Fields traveled to the Ga- lice area last November with Don McNeil, manager of the Medford Chamber of Com merce, to take pictures of the "leaping" fish for the Post's Face of America section. Since Fields was unable to arrive late in October for the best fishing, McNeil said, the party traveled to the coast in November when the river was up five feet. Although the group was able to produce catches of steelhead on two week ends in the Galice area, the fish were "too pooped to perform" before the camera at close range according to Post specifications. En route to Galice the day after Thanksgiving, between Grants Pass and Medford, the car skidded to a stop at Field's insistence when he caught sight of the highway department's "infernal ma chine." The pavement burner was constructed by the de partment for burning off ex cess asphalt which heavy traf fic has caused to ooze out of the road, creating a traffic hazard in wet weather. Sheriff's Office Receives 219 Complaints in Month The Jackson county sheriff's office during February an swered 219 complaints with 33 for felonies and 53 for misde meanors, according to Sol Blu menfeld, identification and records sergeant.

B.-Some tough kids in the neighborhood are mak ing life miserable for Johnny. John B. - I II just keep out of sight as much as possible, until this acne disappears. Mrs. I. B. - How can boys be so cruel? Johnny is 14 and was doing well in his first year of high school. Lately however, he keeps to himself hardly ever goes out, and even tries to think up excuses to stay home from classes. The reason is a gang of bullies who torment him about a bad acne condition on his face. The skin trouble isn't new. It started over a year ago, be fore we moved to this street. It's .being treated, but is re sponding very slowly. I don t know how to help John face such brutes. Ac companying him to school, I'm afraid, would make mat ters worse. Maybe I ought to give those ignorant boys a good lalking-to. Or call a cop. LEAVES DRAFT BEHIND Durham, England - IUP1) - Two prisoners roused guards in Durham jail before dawn Monday to complain they could not sleep because of the draft whistling through a hole in their cell. Investigating, the guards discovered that a metal grill was missing: Also missing - prisonor Tom Hes lop. February also issued or served 195 civil papers, made 11 traf fic arrests and lodged 93 per sons in the county jail. The office closed 146 com plaints, 61 were pending on those reported for February, 14 were unfounded and 15 were cleared on pending com plaints. Thirteen war rants were issued and 24 served. February complaints have shown a steady increase from 98 in February of 1955, 139 in February, 1956, to 175 in 1959 and 238 in 1960. Billboard War Looms at Hearing Of Senate Group Salem-OIPD-A billboard war fought out at the polls last fall has threatened to erupt anew before the Highways committee of the Oregon Sen ate. At issue are Senate bills 233 and 235, drafted by bill board advertisers after their election victory as a conces sion to the need for some reg ulation of roadside advertis ing. Would Curtail Signs One of the bills would sharply curtail roadside signs along interstate highways making Oregon eligible for a federal bonus. The other would set up a scenic area commission to reg ulate billboards along state highways. Members of the five mem ber commission would be ap pointed by the governor from the State Motor Association, state AFL-CIO, Highway com mission, Council of Outdoor Advertising, and Roadside Services Industry. Opponents Speak Opponents of the legislation said the committee would be stacked in favor of billboard advertisers. Jack Schnaidl, representing the Oregon Council of Out door Advertising, said the in dustry already is hamstrung with controls. He said federal billboard standards are inequitable, and he opposed applying these to all of the interstate highway system in Oregon. Legality Doubted Rudic Wilhelm Jr., repre senting the Highway Protec tion committee, said he doubt ed the legality of applying diffcrenct standards to dif ferent sections of highway, as the scenic area commission would be authorized to do. The committee said it would not take action on the bills until additional written testi mony is received. & SHOP MEMBER DON'T FORGET TO USE PARK & SHOP WHEN YOU STOP AT ... . Tribune and a women's editor. Each article John B. - I took plenty of guff from kids in my old street when I was 10 and wore braces on my teeth. Ij wasn't bad, though, because lots of kids wear braces and everyone knows it won't be for long. But this acne make the fel lows around here run a sort of contest to see who can yell out something more annoying and embarrassing to me, than anyone else. I haven't figured out what to do. It's torture for me to "walk the plank" every time I 'bump into that rat-pack. I know my skin will clear up eventually. Meanwhile I'll lay low until I think of some way to handle those jerks-either by myself, one at a. time, or all together with some out side help. The Council: To both John and his mother, we emphasize that nothing squelches a bully like a showdown. Those per secutors are bored, loose-end kids who latch onto any ran dom provocation that prom ises a little excitement. Per haps John can give them more than they bargain for. This type of taunter is very brave when he can hide inside a crowd, safe and unidenti fied. Ask one to step out like a man and repeat the hurtful questions. If he does, John must be ready to answer ei ther with a lecture on kind ness and manners, or with his old one-two, left-right punch. While officially our ways are "peace," as Proverbs advises, we're impressed by the ex perience of another acne- suf ferer who reports as follows: "As a young man, 14 through 17, my face was crowded with acne. I found no relief from the teasing of a certain few who enjoyed themselves that way. 1 tried the prescriptions offered by one physician after another, but the years were 1915 and 1916, and the remedies were unsatisfactory. "In an effort to be prepared to defend myself physically against my antagonists (who kept daring me to fight it out). I joined the then 'Boys' Club of N.Y. and studied wres tling. For six weeks, I wres tled three times weekly in the evenings. Within three weeks my weight went from 133 to 123, but by the end of the course I not only gained back the ten pounds but my acne was almost completely gone! "Almost from the first les sons, I felt confident that I could pick up a bully's chal lenge. When I asked one of them to 'settle it rig'ht now,' he let it slide and backed away with some face-saving boast. I was never teased after that." Along with his doctor's care, and his attention to the rules of skin hygiene which include proper diet and lots of fresh air, John's recovery may well bo speeded by some vig orous gym activity along the lines described by a former fellow-sufferer. "Beware the Ides of your energy with MORAL: Do as (lie Romans did! Include whole grain encrcy in your daily diet. Modern ROMAN MI:AL (whcat-ryc-branfl.ix), when made into bread, makes delicious toast, superb sandwiches. Vitamin-fortified. Good protein citing. Look for the ROMAN GLADIATOR on the wrap. eZgZy FLUHRER'S BAKERY Committee Urged On Rehabilitation Of Sex Offenders Salem-IUPIl-The House Wel fare committee has been urged to take steps toward a mod ern program for rehabilita tion of sex offenders in Ore gon. But testimony differed over whether the program should involve more research, better facilities at existing institu tions, or a special new Insti tution designed to treat sex deviates. Rep. Mel Gordon (R-Port- land) asked committee support for his bill to construct a spe cial $2 million institution in the Multnomah county area. ine measure would require voter approval in 1962. Gordon said sex criminals and sociopaths now are "shuf fled from institution to in- slitution"-all lacking proper treatment facilities. Witnesses said 17 per cent of the inmates at Oregon's penitentiary were convicted of sex crimes, the third largest group at the prison. More Information Wanted Rep. William Gallagher (R- Portland), sponsor of a reso lution calling for an interim study, said more information is needed in order to approach the problem on a "sound and practical basis." Dr. Kenneth D. Gaver (Sa lem pscychintrist) said present treatment facilities for sex criminals at existing state in stitutions appeared to be in adequate. He said, however, the best approach might be to expand facilities and increase person nel at present institutions, rather than building a new institution. Deputy Warden L. R. Barnes of the stale peniten tiary said one difficulty lay the present shortage of qualified personnel and psy chiatrists. Paul J. Squier, superinten dent of Oregon correctional institute, said it is difficult to handle sex deviates in a penal setting. Construction To Start on Church Ashland - Construction of the new First Presbyterian church building Is expected to begin within two months, according to announcement by the pastor, the Rev. B. J Holland. Edson and Pappas of Med ford are the architects and Harold Sailer of Rogue River is the contractor. The $100, 000 edifice of modern design will be built on the property at the corner of Walker ave. and Highway 99. It will fea ture natural wood interior finish and open patios and walkways between the build ings. The plans have been made in such a way as to save all possible trees. Negotiations are said to be under way for sale of the present church building at Helman and North Main sts. It was erected in 1875. WHAT BAIT?
