Residents Warned About Racketeers Don McNeil, Medford Cham ber of Commerce manager, to day warned local residents of the gas company Inspector racket. He related how two men posing as gas company inspec tors recently operated in Toronto, Canada. The Toronto utility re ceived six complaints in one day about the impostors who entered homes pretending to search for gas leaks. Their method was to pour alcohol inside the gas line and ignite it. Then they would call the owner into the basement and tell him a seri ous leak had been discovered which would require immedi ate repair. They ran their bills up to $4,000. By DICK WEST Washington - iliPli - There is not a more piteous sight in America than that of a spav ined politician - an o f f i c e seeker who pulls up lame just before an election. After all. a candi date is only as strong as his pedal ex t r e m ities. If Win his feet let him down, his entire cam paign is in danger of collapse. With the congressional races now entering the sprint stage, I thought 1 might be able to render a significant public service by setting forth some tips on how to prevent such tragedies. My authority on feet con ditioning is no less a person age than Dr. Joseph Lclyveld, chairman of the National Foot Health Council. I like to think of Dr. Lclyveld as the Vic Tunny of the metatarsal arch. As his first admonition. Dr. Lelyveld advises all candidates. Democrat and Republican alike, to avoid the type of footmanship that figured in the 1952 presi dential campaign. "Although Adlai Stevenson got a lot of publicity from the hole in his shoe, you may get a thriving fungus infec tion instead." he warns this year's candidates. Along with well soled shoes, he recommends that politici ans wear durene cotton socks which "absorb moisture quickly and let you run com fortably without giving your self a hot foot." This sort of advice struck me as being rather pedestrian. I was more impressed by the foot exercises that Dr. Lely veld recommends for politici ans. One wav a candidate can keep his tootsies in shape is to "get a bono copy of the list of registered voters, place it on the floor, stand on it and curl toes over the side "Do this at least 10 times, or as many times as you hope to be reelected," he suggests. If a registration list is not available, Dr. Lclyveld says the same results can be achieved by "standing on the complete transcript of your opponent's speeches and curl ing toes over the edge of that." Another Lclyveld exercise goes as follows: "Fold a typed list of the poll-watchers in your own election district in half. Then fold again. Place it in the center of your room at home and pick it up with your toes." I feel certain that any can didate who follows these in structions can keep on his feet until election day. If he loses, he can climb atop a stack of absentee ballots and jump off.

To help Oregon jobs and payrolls Fisher has recom mended that the Western lumber states forget political differences and form a lumber bloc to solve legislative problems. He is right. On foreign aid, Fisher says: "wasteful spending must be eliminated. I would support a cut in foreign aid, and urge greater care in the spending of money appropriated. " He is right.
