For a Better World West Opens Campaign To Stamp Out Sing-Along Phonograph Records By DICK WEST Washington-HTO-Sen. Alex ander Wiley, the leading phi losopher of Chippewa Falls, Wis., has come forth with a message that I regard as nothing short of inspiration al.. Speaking Lijjni I of the Senate I V'ai A 1 iuven"e delin tLL. m ,uenc?r 5 u " Weit vuiiuimiic, lie opined that what we need to meet the challenges of our times are more "angry young men." Where, he asked, are the youths "burning with an un quenchable fire of patriotism, of crcativeness, of a will to build a better world, not just for themselves but for all humanity?" It may be that I am neither young nor angry enough to answer the call, but neverthe less I was stirred by Wiley's words. Launches Latest Campaign I had been thinking of do ing something to help build a better world, and his state ment has galvanized me into action. So without further hesitation, I hereby launch my 1362 campaign to stamp out singing-alonging. Let me make it clear that this has nothing to do with my lHbi campaign to stamp out folk singing. Having fail ed so gloriously in that ven ture, I am now at peace with folk singing. My new campaign is direct ed at the so-called sing-along NOVA Formerly Lipperts' 220 N.

As long as singing-alonging was confirmed to a weekly television show, I had no quar rel with It. If people can try to harmonize with a television set without feeling foolish, then live and let live. What raises the practice to the status of a national men ace is the distribution of sing along phonograph records. Sees Danger Clearly I first saw the clear and present danger of singing alonging several months ago at a party. I was cringing be hind a bowl of cheese dip. knowing that the moment was close at hand when the host ess would suggest a game of charades. Instead, she made her way triumphantly to the record cabinet, extracted a long playing disc and began pass ing out sheets of paper print ed with song lyrics. "Come on, everybody," she called in a train station so prano. "Let's have a sing along." Sing-along records, I discov ered that night, are carefully pitched beyond the range of party guests, but not enough so as to discourage them from trying. Lester Pindle ruptured a tonsil on "Home on the Range" and his wife hit a note during "Irish Eyes Are Smiling" that shattered my highball glass. In short, singing-alonging is the only form of telvision entertainment that can now be classed as a dangerous weapon. Simpson Named to Reserve Position MaJ. Hugh G. Simpson, Ashland, has been appointed disaster control training offi cer for the 9417th Air Force Reserve Squadron, Medford, Col. W. G. Beard, commander, has announced. Duties of the new position will involve coordination of the Air Force reserve units in southern Oregon with Civil Defense officials, other re serve components, and the Red Cross in case of disasters.

Newbry Notes Statements About Compensation State Sen. Lynn Newbry, Ashland Talent, told a group of "Neighbors for Newbrv" Medford Tribune SECTION F MEDFORD.

Newbry asked:"Where were these gentlemen when we were battling in the last leg islative session to get just such a broader workmen's compen sation law passed as they now advocate?" Newbry went on to ask. "Aren't they aware that the so called three-way comp which we attempted to pass into law was indeed a broad er, new concept in the field of workmen's compensation?" All Workmen Protected If the bill had become law, he said, it would have brought all workmen in Oregon under the protection of workmen's compensation coverage, in stead of only about 60 per cent as at the present. Newbry said the three-way bill would have given the employers of Oregon the choice of (1) insuring under the state fund as is done now (2) insuring with an insur ance company (3) insuring himself under certain super vised circumstances. "This bill will give all work men coverage; benefit em ployers in that they could ex pect lower rates since in states having three-way laws rates are much lower than in Oregon, and accident rates also are lower," Newbry said. "However," Newbry added, "let me assure these gentle men that they'll have a sec ond chance to help get this bill into law, since this bill is again ready and it will go hi into the hopper at this com- M ing legislative session." candidate for tile Democratic nomination for congress said here Mondav night. Robert Duncan of Medford said fed eral aid to education is justi fied "on the basis of defense alone." Speaking to the Linn Coun ty Jane Jefferson club, Dun can said the national defense is conceded by all to be a federal responsibility, in spite of the national guards main, tained by the states. And it follows that the federal gov ernment has a responsibility in education too, he said. Duncan, speaker of the Ore gon house, said federal aid is also justified on the theory of "equalization of educational opportunities." The fourth dis trict candidate said this theory is well established in Oregon's basic school support law and if "this theory is sound in Ore gon it is sound for the entire country."
