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.

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

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
