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

ANSON PHELPS STOKES

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.

Mrs. I. B.-Some tough kids

John B. - I II just keep out
of sight as much as possible,

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
