FRIDAY, JULY IB 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH PALLS. OREGON PAGE FIVE this n that. 1 . By RUTH KING v.;.V. .4. , 1 n TWO FRIENDS WHO STUDIED the Three Rs together when most travel was on horseback, rode in state in the Fourth of July parade in this old Model T Ford owned by Julian Eeeles. Right is Mrs. Pheba Vinson Vaughn, Medford, with Mrs. Minnie Dillard Davis, Klamath Falls. The mountains still brood above the valley floor . . . Lost Jtiver is still lost in gray caverns among the sage ... the whip-poor-wills still mouiii at dusk but otherwise time and progress have had Uieir way ... The cabin home of youth is just a poignant memory, not dimmed by years for Pheba Vinson Vaughn, (right) born when the snows of January lay white across her father' homestead In Langell Val ley .. . she is the first white girl child to arrive in that sparsely settled country, daughter of Hen ry and Elmira Vinson, whose oxen grazed their way from Platte County, Missouri to Oregon in lflby. Their little .daughter' arrived soon after the yokes were laid aside and the first seed were put into tne ground . . . she grew up in the years when red men were friend or foe . . . food in those days bought friendship and many a time, Pheba Vaughn recalls, the last morsel of bread in the family larder went into an outstretched hand that had just laid down bow and quiver . . Her mother once hid among the soot of the cabin fireplace while red enemies lurked outside the four walls . . . she lived to earn the friendship of Klamaths and the Modocs who learned that her knowledge of home remedies could cure them too . . . she was known among the tribes as the "Medi cine Woman," a title she held until the end of her life. Her father too, was known as the Indian's friend ... he owned the Vinson Hot Springs, medicinal mecca for Indians who were ill. None were ever denied and the Indians trusted the white man . . . when war flamed across the land, Henry Vinson helped capture Hoggie Jim, a renegade, helped rescue Black Jim Hill, held fast by a broken leg to a juniper tree. Henry Vinson's business ability soon made him one of the largest early stock holders in the valley . . . his -700 head of horses, many mules and herds of beef cattle amounted to a lusty total in cash of the realm, even in the days be fore 1954 prices. Pheba, her sister Annie and a brother Alie grew up on horseback, went to school in Bonanza . and later Pheba ploughed through higher mathematics in the old ! Southern Oregon Normal Schoool at Ashland. She married Stanley Vaughn who died in 1950. The Vinson family, related re motely to the late Fred Vinson, supreme court judge, left this country in 1903 for the Rogue River Valley where her father bought five acres in what is now the heart of Medford. He owned and operated a feed and sales stable. His children still own much of the original property. The three Vinsons still live to gether, Annie, an artist and mu sician who never married, Alie, a penman of note and an account ant and Pheba, who returned to Klamath Falls to ride in the Fourth of July parade as a be loved pioneer. Ruben the fourth child in the family died years ago. Pheba Vaughn visited 0 1 d friends, ' Minnie Dillard Davis. shown with her in the ancient ve- mcie.

U.S. Foreign Aid Record Defended By Senate Group WASHINGTON Wl The Senate Foreign Relations Committee said today the U.S. foreign aid pro gram has "paid off" in "greater total free-world strength." In a report to the Senate urging approval of a 53,100,000.000 foreign aid program for the current year, the committee majority said the American-assisted military buildup in Western Europe in the four years since the Communist attack in Korea has had this result: "The Soviets could no longer launch an attack without notice able advance preparation." The report conceded that the free world situation in Asia was less rosy, but it added: ASIAN REVERSES "Allied reverses In Indochina are not legitimate grounds for defeat ism: on the contrary, they are cause for renewed and stronger efforts to build an effective system of collective security in that part of the world. ' "Ort balance, the United States heed not be dismayed by the con tinuance of the Soviet thrent. We have many strong allies, and the mutual security program embodied In the pending bill will make them even stronger." Sen. Lunger (R-NDi was the only one of the 15 committee members who did not sign the report: he arranged to file dissenting views later. FLOOR SPEECH Langer served notice In a floor speech yesterday, he would vote against the bill 011 the ground it involved "Just another giveaway." ' The foreign aid bill now is be fore the Armed Services Commit tee, whose chairman, Sen. Salton stall (R-MaSs), said he expected no money cuts although the group may have some technical amend ments to propose. The Foreign Relations Commit tee shaved 348 millions off Presi dent Eisenhower's request for the authorization measure. The House AND SIDING $$$ SAVE $$$ Dtsl with the. man whs doc tba work W. S. "BILL HEIMANN Phoni ?3fU Sift Mitchell voted $3,338,000,000. 1 The Senate group said Its 10 per cent reduction was justified be cause the Foreign Operations Ad ministration has $3,600,000,000 of previously appropriated funds still unobligated. But the report noted that POA Director Harold E. Stassen said this money was committed to defi nite programs. It indicated any at-. tempts on the floor to make fur ther cuts in the new authorization would be resisted by committee members. The report pointed to two foreign aid trends continuance of a five year decline In American assls tance programs and a sharp shift in emphasis from Europe to other parts of the world, particularly Asia. .. i . . INDOCHINA AID '' 1 The committee noted that one third of the amount in the bill, or about $1,050,000,000, is for Indo china. While expressing concern over the "uncertainties latent in the Indochina program," the ma jority said: "It has concluded that the United States must remain in a position to support those forces resisting Communist aggression In South east Asia. "It would seem to be unwise not to have available for immediate use adequate sums to . build up those forces against the gathering I munlst If we give them faith, if threat of Communist aggression In I we strengthen them militarily and that region. , economically, and if we give them ; "Millions of people who reside, basis lor believing in our within a 800-mlle radius of Com- support. munlst China will not turn Com- "A cease-fire or other settlement EAGLES!
