In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From the Salem Statesman:
"The Department of Agri
culture operates an experi
mental farm at Belisville,
Maryland, near Washington.
Right at this Turkey Time it
is reported that scientists at
this farm have produced FA
THERLESS turkeys, also
grandfatherless.'1
"The reproduction was ob
tained by the process of
parthenogenesis, such as is
common in insects and worms.
We have an idea, however,
that the stalely turkey gob
bler will be around for a long
time."
Tlmiiimmmmmmm.
Fatherless turkey would
admittedly be a curiosity, but
let's talk -bout something a
little more practical.
How about the 70-pound
turkeys the scientists say they
will be able to produce before
very long; And the 100
pounders that are expected
to come along somewhat la
ter, as the scientists get more
expert at the job of producing
bigger and better birds?
PROBLEM:
How would one go about
roasting a 100-pound turkey
- and, after one got the mon
ster roasted, how would one
go about the job of getting it
onto the table? Imagine carry
ing a 100-pound turkey in
from the kitchen and setting
it in front of the head of the
house to be carved!
AND-
Think how long the
leave-overs would last! By the
lime the average family had
picked all the bones of a bird
of thai size, the idea of ever
tasting turkey again would
be a revolting one.
One sometimes wonders if
these scientists aren't getting
out of their depth - or at least
out of our depth.
rpHIS parthenogenesis busi--
neps brings up another
problem. It has to do with a
mongoose that was brought
back from India by a return
ing seaman and presented to
the Duluth zoo - where it
promptly became popular -like
Elephant Belle and her
baby in the Portland zoo.
They named it Mr. Magoo,
and the story goes that Mr.
Magoo has become quite the
sensation of the Duluth zoo.
Everybody loves him.
At this point, the plot thick
ens. It appears that there is a
law against mongooses in the
U.S.A. The mongoose is a
small animal about '.he size
and shape of a mink that lives
in Africa and southern Asia
- especially in India, where it
is highly esteemed because of
its fondness for cobra wakes
as an article of diet.
It is also fond of rats and
such. But it has a voracious
appetite, and as soon as it has
polished off all the rats and
snakes in the neighborhood
it goes to work on poultry,
ground-dwelling wild birds
and other beneficial small
animals. It also -obs birds'
nests of eggs and young. And
it reproduces VERY rapidly.
When a Mr. and a Mrs. Mon
goose are turned loose, the
first thing anybody knows
the neighborhood is fairly
crawling with mongooses.
BRIEFINC
When t
G the story -
the U S. Fish and
Wildlife Service heard of Mr. !
Magoo, it decreed that he had I
tn go. A law is a law. But
Duluth's zoo-goers raised a
technicality. Mr. Magoo, they
contended, is a bachelor, and
there are no Miss Magoos
around who might become
Mrs. Magoo. With no Mrs.
Magoo there could be no off
spring, the argument ran. The
Fish and Wildlife people saw
the point and agreed to let
Mr. Mngoo stay as long as
he stayed alone.

Wheat Growers
Hear Neuberger
Portland I1IP1J Sen. Maurine
Neuberger (D-Ore.) told the
Oregon Wheat Growers league
here Monday that wheat grow
ers will benefit from the new
1962 Agriculture Act.
She spoke at the League's
35th annual convention. She
said the new act "provides an
improved method of price sup
port." She said withdrawal of
croplands should mean better
surplus controls, protection of
grower incomes, and reduc
tion of costs in the farm pro
gram. Mrs. Neuberger said the
wheat growers should ignore
"phony charges" against the
new farm program by "dissi
dent farm groups'' and "anti
farm groups." She said the
charges were based on misun
derstanding instead of fact.
Another speaker, Oregon
League President Charles Al
len Tom, said the wheal grow
ers league will have to look to
urban groups and other organ
izations for political support
in the future.

John L. McClcllan (D-Ark.)
feels compassion for college
athletes who are the targets
of corrupters - and he singles
out for praise a University of
Oregon halfback who put the
finger on a big-lime gamble
who tried to bribe him to fix
a football game.
In a new book, "Crime
Without Punishment," the
chairman of the Senate Per
manent Investigatin,; Com
mittee relates thai in 1961
Michael Bruce, an Oregon
Bruce, an Oregon star, testi
fied that he was approached
by a gambler Frank "Lefty"
Rosenthal with a $5,000 bribe
offer to see that Oregon lost
to Michigan by eight points
instead of six. Bruce pretend
ed to accept the offer, report
ed it immediately to his coach,
but Rosenthal eluded Michi
gan authorities who sought
to question him.
Rosenthal was never prose
cuted in Michigan. Early this
year he was in1:cted in North
Carolina on a charge of at
tempting to bribe a New York
University basketball playc
to shave points in c national
tournament game against
West Virginia at Charlotte.
Harsher Penalties Wanted
Unless attempts to fix
games cease, McClellan fa

er penalties" on gamblers

and nominal fines wnk'h they
now hazard when they at
tempt tneir briberies. In spite
of fines and sentences, these
criminals have actually com
mitted crimes that go without
punishment - for what penal
ly severe enough can the
courts of the land assess upon
a man who has ruined a
young man's career, and in
deed, his entire life?"
The guilt lies not only with
the gamblers, continues Mc
Clellan, nor with the young
athletes who are tempted to
accept the gamblers' money
"It must be shared by all
the rest of us who continue
to tolerate illegal gambling
on sports and who do not pro
test when the leading news
papers of the country publish
in daily prominence the 'line'
and the 'point spread' and the
'early odds.' It must also be
shared by some educational
systems that outrageously
subsidize young men who will
engage in school sports," de
clared the senator.
Sources Outside Colleges
"Colleges go as far as of
fering cash monthly payments
for athletic participation or
supplying their athletic stars
with automobile; and luxuri
ous apartments - all this done
in clandestine fashion through
sources outside the college
proper, such as wealthy alum
ni or prosperous local busi
nessmen. There are too many
unhealthy influences upon the
young men, who aie urged
overtly to olay hard in the
spiri' of g'id sportsmans-hip.
while at the same time they
are surreptitiously paid in
professional fashion for sup
posedly 'amateur' perform

tists or musicians, but he
thinks "the trouble begins
when the emphasis on win
ning is so overwhelming that
the young men are paid well,
given special privi'eges and
allowed to forget scholastic
achievements."
McClellan said gasps of
horror came from academic
circles and the public over
the revelations of the basket
ball bribe scandals and the
dramatic picture of Bruce
pointing an accusing finger at
Lefty Rosenthal in the com
mittee hearings.
"Realistically, there should

if our sports-minded academic
institutions are willing to
make clandestine payments to
a boy for winning, when they

Monday night, sheriff's offi

The victim was Elodia Har

Hockelt told officers the
girl had picked up the .22 cal

living room and handed it to
him. He said it discharged ac

floor, shot through the head.
Police said another young
man, who lives with llockett
in the home, was present at
the time of the shooting.
Friends of the family said

ably sadly confused about
moral values, anyway.
"Fortunately for the future
of sports in America, the
overwhelming majority of our
young athletes are honest;
there is reason to believe that
only a minute percentage of
them would let a bribe at
tempt go unreported. Certain
ly a great many of the ar
rests and prosecutions of re
cent years can be attributed
to boys of splendid character
in every threatened sport
who have listened to bribery
offers and then have coop

the criminals, and that evil
will continue as long as the
nation tolerates it."
Worker Guilty of
Disturbing Peace
Portland -IIIPU An employee
of the Western Wirebound
Box Co. was found guilty of
disturbing the peace Monday
because he had displayed an
eight-foot long bull whip to
pickets as he entered work
last week.
Employees of the company
have been on strike for sev
eral weeks, but operations
have continued with super
visory and non-striking per
sonnel. Albert Thurman, 27, drew a
suspended sentence of 180
days. Multnomah County Dis
trict Judge Richard Burke lec
tured both sides in the labor
dispute. He said a greater de
gree of caution is called for
than in the average situation.
Judge Burke said Thurman
had suffered some provocation
from pickets and testimony in
dicated pickets had followed

she took him to work one
morning.
