This smiling blonde miss with New York Democrats Abandon Tammany Hall NEW YORK! (AP)-ln politics, you have to paraphrase an old saying: "Sticks and stones may break our bones, and names can hurt us, too." For decades, the' New York County Democratic organization has been coupled with the name of Tammany Hall sometimes with reason and sometimes not, Several weeks ,.ago Mayor Robert F. Wagner; aided by re. form groups, smashed his way to a mayoral primary victory over Arthur Levitt, who was backed by Tammany Leader Carmine De Saplo. Now, politically, Tammany Is a dead duck.

LA short-cropped hair met recently! with the Dunsmuir Chapter ot the American Field Service. This group introduced themselves as Gisela's aunts and uncles for the year and told her of the work In arranging for foreign students to come to ininsmuir, - Gisela and her family are com' paratlve newcomers to West Ger many. ' "We are, how you say, refu- gees," Gisela explained in telling new party headquarters. From now on, said Wagner, it s strictly tho New York County Democratic Committee, not Tarn-! many. He added, "We want a new look and new atmosphere for the party in Manhattan." But decree or no decree, there is still the Society of Tammany, which dates back 175 years to Aaron Burr, who formed the pa triotic and fraterhal grouai-some, Historians say to protect jne in terests of Irish Immigrants, who were banned from the organiza tion. Later, Tammany bosses were forced to relent and admit them. ' As early as 1806 Tammany chiefs were associated with cor- ruption. But in 1836 Martin Van Buren. grand sachem of Tarn many, was elected president of the United states, ana Tammany's prestige was never higher. In 1868,' along came the notor ious William M. (Boss) Tweed, un der whose leadership Tammany acquired the "tiger" appellation and set a record for corruption. Under Tweed, the city took a $200- million beating until reformers moved In. Tweed died in jail, It took a long time for Tam many leaders to regroup their forces, but they did. Out of the political rubble rose Charles F. Murphy, under whose aegis In the first quarter of the 20th cen tury rose such Democratic party greats as the late Uov. Altred Smith and the ' late U.S. Sen Robert F. Wagner, the mayor's father. ' In 1945, Tammany turned out a heavy vote for William O'Dwyer In his successful bid for mayor. Once In office, O'Dwyer fought for control of Tammany but lost, In 1949 De Sapio won control of the organization and hung on to it until his ouster this month. In this century, Tammany joint ly occupied headquarters with the1 county democratic committee om 14th Street and 17th Street, In 1943, however, the committee moved to 43rd street, formally marking the physical severance between the two groups. But the name never left home. Now the committee's head quarters are on 48th street. Kri day's move was sudden. Party records were taken along, but not a lot of the old furniture and only one member of the old staff. The new quarters are smaller and less expensive.

Union Opinion Varies On Agency Shop Ruling WASHINGTON (UPl) - Union leaders today said the National Labor Relations Board's agency shop ruling was "hopeful," but others called It a "shocking dem onstration of bias." The NLRB, in a far-reaching decision, ruled Friday that right- to-work laws do not necessarily ban what is known as the agency shop. It said that the agency shop is legal unless specifically outlawed by state statutes. A union shop, which is banned in right to work laws, requires a worker to join a labor union from 30 to 60 days after he is hired.' An agency shop requires him lo pay the union an amount equal to union fees and dues, al though he does not have to join the union. The only dissenting vote in the 4-1 decision was cast by former chairman Boyd Leedom. who said the ruling virtually nullified state right to work laws. The ruling had to do only with Indiana. The National Right to - Work Committee, which opposes the un ion shop, argued that the ruling would have no effect in the other1 19 states with right to work laws. It said laws, court decisions and legal opinions made H clear that these states banned the agen cy shop. However, it was not im mediately known whether any of the states had a specific law bar ring the agency shop. The organization called the rul ing a "shocking demonstration of bias in favor of union officials DENTAL PLATES A NEW DENTAL PLATE MADE FROM YOUR OLD, FOR AS LITTLE AS $55.00 EACH REPAIRS and RELINES WHILE YOU WAIT NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED PERSONAL DENTURE SERVICE Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 6 Days 1033 Main St. TU 4-3284 United Fund Drive Sets 100 Per Cent Standards Xlamath County United Fundi released information Friday about alifying standards for firms atkeaqltmg to win 100 per cent awards. 'We- went to be sure all par ticipaturg firms and employe groups are aware ot tne stan dards," Ralph Hunter, campaign chairman said. In the past, 100 per cent recog nition was given any Arm and employe group where all were: represented in the gift record for1 h a t campaign. Many firms strived to meet that standard, Hunter said. 'In some instances, in order that the group qualify for the hon or and recognition associated with becoming a 100 per cent firm, U.S. Lands . Said Vital PORTLAND (AP) National forests are vital to the lumber: industry, a timber managament official said Friday in Portland. Speaking to the Oregon Legis lature's interim subcommittee on natural resources, Walter H. Lund said small, private holdings of timber have vanished. Lund is assistant regional for ester and chief of the division of timber management for the JJ.S. Forest Service. He said private lands had no rejuvenation or restocking pro grams many years ago, and this puts pressure on state, United States, and Bureau of Land Man agement lands to provide enough timber for today s .needs. Lund also told the legislators that insects and disease cause more loss of timber each year than do forest fires. Sigurd J. Westrheim, director of research for the Oregon Fish Commission, told the committee that the number of silver salmon entering the Columbia River has declined steadily since 1930. Burley Paper Sale Announced BURLEY, Idaho (AP) - Sale of the Burley Herald Bulletin and the Minidoka County News to the Lesher Publishing Co. was an nounced Friday by the Mist Pub lishing Co. The Herald Bulletin is published five days a week and the News twice weekly, , ,The sale is effective Sunday. Beginning with the next issues the papers will be published by Mr. and Mrs. Dean Lesher of Merced, Calif., and their son. Stanley. and a disregard of freedom for rank-and-file workers. The case in question Involved General Motors Corp. and the United Auto Workers Union in In diana, where law bans the union shop but not the agency shop. FCC Chief Complains Of News Program Lack WASHINGTON (AP) Newtonl Minow, chairman of the Fed eral Communications Commission, says he thinks radio-TV newscasts perform an outstanding public1 service, but there aren't enough, of them. The FCC boss, who has jabbed at the quality of television pro gramming oiten in the past, also complained there were not enough full-time news directors on radio and television stations. In a speech before the annual convention of the Radio Television! News Directors Association Fri day night, Minow protested a "vir tual news blackout" on television during the prime viewing hours each night. "For those of us living in the Eastern Standard Time zone, at least," he said, "there is no newsl on television between 7:15 and 11 p.m. The world goes on during prime evening time. But you wouldn't know it if you were watching television." He suggested the news directors consider "the possibilities ot a full-scale news broadcast, some pressure was applied to individual workers for fund gifts, he said Hunter emphasized, "It is not the desire of the United Fund to raise money through either social or job pressure. We would rather have the majority of individuals wanting to give on a purely vol untary basis." He said the "all must participate" standard has been removed from the qualifies tions. Now, United Fund says, firm and executives classify as one group for recognition and employes as another. Dollar quo tas have been set for each of national averages from similar! concerns, plus a past experience factor drawn upon local experi ences. Recognition for the 100 pen cent award" will now be based on 100 per cent of their goal. "The wisdom of this decision,' Hunter said, "is already being evidenced. A total of 59 firms, contributing $21,828 as of Friday, have qualified for the awards. Un der the old system, only 69 firms qualified during the entire cam paign. This year, we have 59 win ners already, and the drive is Hot yet 50 per cent complete. United Fund s current cam paign will be four weeks com plete Monday: 14 days of the drive will remain at that time. The fund said they could not, in any way, dictate company pol icy regarding the manner of solici tation, but they continue to urge collections be made on a purely voluntary basis. Goal of United Fund this year is $135,309; as of Friday's report breakfast, 46.9 per cent of this figure had been turned in. One Church Gets Okay KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)-Dr, Perry Gresham, president of the Convention of Christian Churches, Fridav nieht gave his blessing to! unification of people who believe in Christ into a single church, t Gresham, in the keynote conven tion speech to .11,000 delegates! said, "A divided world is demand ing the witness of ' a united church." The leader, who is also presi dent of Bethany (W.Va.) College, told the delegates of two million members of his denomination that nothing would please him more than to see a "united church in America" embracing all followers of Christ. But in, an interview United Press International, Gresham said his proposal would have to be a merger of. the people, not of ec clesiastical bodies." t "I am in favor of seeing uni fication go ahead immediately but I do not see that the religious bodies will get around to it any time soon," he said. The president added, "Actually, this is a pious hope rather than an immediate prospect . . . but nonetheless we are doing much toward the goal." where in the prime time in the! evening. After all, if there is time for teasers and trailers in those hours, there certainly is time for the news." 'Minow said he shared the dedi cation of the association to the be lief that the "broadcasting of actual, objective and timely news is the finest public service radio or television stations can per form. "My sorrow this evening." he added, "is simply that there aren't enough of you. There are around 5000 radio and television stations on the air. You have 691 members, of whom 400 are ac tually engaged in news direction." "May your tribe increase this is one segment ot life that badly needs a population explosion," he said.

New Ties Accomplished At Episcopal Convention DETROIT (AP) Some new ecumenical features the ties that bind Christians together now mark the Protestant Episcopal Church. They were fashioned at the denomination's triennial general convention, which . closed Friday with a stirring appeal from its bishops for the reunion of world Christianity. They said the challenge was one that in faithfulness to God we cannot evade." In a 4,000-word pastoral letter, the bishops urged Christians "lo work and pray without ceasing un til by God's grace and in his time the divisions by which we dishonor our one Lord are done away." The message, in a sense, be spoke the theme of the' two week governing convention, which crossed some new milestones in bridging the chasms between churches. ' It approved merger conversa tions with four other denomina tions, the United Presbyterians Methodists; the United Church of Christ, including Congregationa- lists, and the Evangelical and Re. Flea Market' Revived By Virginia Dog Owners FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) Anybody itching for a good buy in a dog would be in hound heaven i today as Fredericksburg renews its version of the "flea market." It's the annual dog mart, a tra titional back-country swap session begun by the Indians and the pale face settlers long before George Washington was born nearby. The entertainment that's squeezed in between the showing and selling of dogs also echoes that of long ago. The dogs are still the reason for it all. They are, on hand by Ihe hundreds with their owners. For once in his life, it's the lowly mutt who knows a flea when he sees it and knows what to do Fraud Charged Paper Firm Men PORTLAND (AP) A suit charging fraud has been filed against Columbia River Paper Co. and" six of the firm's directors. The suit, brought Friday in U.S. District Court by stockholders of the company, charges that the president and directors com mitted acts "in fraud of the cor poration and the stockholders." Defendants named in the suit are Nils G. Teren, Camas, Wash president; Donald C. Ellsworth and Clarence D. Phillips, Port land; Henry F. G. Andrcae and Pittock Leadbetter, Camas; Herbert -C. Lieser, Vancouver; and the Columbia River Paper Co.

The whole thing began in 1698 as a one-day break in warfare to haggle over the price of man's best friend. The Indians had lone admired the tracking and hunting aouities ot the dogs raised by the settlers. The settlers were more than glad lo part with a hound or two for some nice furs and a gold nugget. From then until the Revolution it was bullets against arrows ex cept for one day each fall when the peace pipe was lit and the combatants sat down for some fancy trading. The Revolution brought an end to the bargaining. But in 1927 the local Isaac Walton League and Chamber of Commerce revived it. Contests old-time fiddlers screeching out tunes, hog callers bellowing for a lost sow and fox horn blowers sounding the call to! the hunt are sandwiched in be tween the morning parade and the afternoon dog auction. Prices at the auction usually range from a few cents to a dollar! or so. Top money of $200 or more for the best hunting dogs ox changes hands in the private deals along the sidelines. Just so nobody forgets who was responsible for the whole thing in the first place, Indians of the Pamunkey Tribe are always on hand with exhibition dances. johansen ! BY 17.95 Voter list J Not Opened To Probers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Justice Department has lost a round in its bid to have the voter registration records' of a southwest Alabama county, opened to federal inspectors. U.S. District Court Judge Dan iel H. Thomas dismissed Friday ' a federal complaint against the Board of Rregistrars of Wilcox County. He gave no reason. Thomas heard arguments on' the motion June 13. Gordon Madison, an assistant: state attorney general, argued a that time that no Negroes have sought to register to vote in the county in at least 50 years. He contended that under these cir cumstances the present board could not have engaged in racial-discrimination.- , ; A Justice Department attorney, Robert Owen, argued that Con-, grcss had given the U.S. attorney. general the right to examine reg- istration records. The Civil Rights Commission first sought to check the Wilcox voter records to 1958. f But the records were placed in custody of the county grand jury and have been passed on lo suc ceeding juries. Wilcox is an agricultural county , with a population of more than 18,000 about 12,000 of them , Negroes. On other racial fronts: The Southern Christian Leader ship Conference announced plans. to recruit a nonviolent army of about 150 persons to go to any Southern community to oppose segregation. Two Episcopal clergymen from. Chicago posted bond and were re leased from jail at Jackson, Miss. They were among the 15 minis-t ters arrested Sept. 13 -on breach' of peace charges during a prayer pilgrimage from New Orleans to: Detroit. The others were released on bond earlier. The two are The Rev. Robert P. Taylor, 29, and The Rev. James Garrard, Jones, 34. At Memphis, Tenn., the FBI was reported investigating charges four former deputies took a Negro man to a school in Au- guest, i960, struck him, threatened"' to kill him and forced him to put his fingerprints on a window pane lo frame a burglary charge against him. One former deputy was ac quitted of ."official oppression" by a criminal court jury. The other three were convicted and the jury': fixed punishment at $1 each, the' minimum.

Pulliam, publisher of the Phoenix Republic and Gazette and the Indianapolis Star and News, told the Associated Press Members Association, of Washing ton and Oregon Friday that Pres ident Kennedy "attacked" the press last April for "endangering national security."
