Dulacki, Omaha, Neb. ministration, has charged that hundreds of such veterans who could pay for private medical care are getting it free, instead, at VA hospitals. Looking for Waste House members, more seriously than at any time since World War II, are looking this year for ways to save a veterans outlays, both in the hospital field and elsewhere. They say waste and abuse must be weeded out of the program. Counter-attacks against the economy moves have been launched by both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the two biggest veterans groups.

Their leaders see the drive as an entering wedge for another "economy act" like that of 1933, when all veterans benefits were cut to the bone. "This thing apparently goes further than just trying to get the chiselerg out of the hospitals," said Omar VFW legislative director. Soma Veterans Agree The Disabled American Veterans said it will stand with the "big two" in opposing new legal restrictions on veterans medical care. A spokesman said abuses such as those cited by Phillips can be corrected by the Veterans Administration. Amvets, a World War II ex-service group, declined to join the veterans' attack on Phillips and other economy advocates.

"They are not anti-veteran," said Rufus Wilson, Amvets legislative director. "Sure, they are looking for ways to balance the budget. They want the fat and frills cut out of the. veterans program. So do we." Three More Granges' Recommendations Listed at 'Clinics' $4,500 County Goal Cancer Campaign About $4,500 is the amount the American Cancer Society hopes to raise in Jackson county this year, according to Mrs.

Mrs. Day yesterday announced the committee which is working on the cancer fund drive, conducted through April. Mrs.

Brandt Bartells is co-chairman, and other members are Mesdames Fred Burich, Rus-sel Barnes, Warren Bayless, Raymond Fast, Scott Ells, Earl Larson, Ray Frisbie and M. L. Vorhies. Committee chairmen have been named in Eagle Point, Gold Hill, Talent, Shady Cove, Central Point, Jacksonville and Ashland. Washington The big veterans organizations were hit ting the ceiling Saturday at congressional proposals to do some economizing on the multi-billion-dollar veterans benefit program.

They were girding especially for a fight against moves by Reps. John Phillips, and Olin E. Teague, to nut stricter limits on free hos pital care for veterans whose ailments are not due to military service.

Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Peggy Maley, that madcap actress who once Derched on the English throne, decided today Holly woo d's too toned down be cause young players are ordered to be have themselves.

Holly wood has lost its colorful zip in recent years and, instead of Aline Mosby straining to look like the town next door, could use a few more characters like Peggy Maley. She is blonde, blue-eyed, pretty and a sort of female Marlon Brando. She is an international play-girl who says and does as she pleases. Two years ago Peggy sneaked into the King's chair in London when the guards weren't looking, and headlines in England rattled for a week about it. No Individuality "Hollywood used to be built on personalities, but now the studios tell their young players everything they can do," said the fast-talking blonde.

"You see these young kids on interviews with the press they're afraid to talk! The studios tell them what to say. "They're told to stay out of TOBIAS the chamber's agricultural committee, which is sponsoring the series of rural clinic meetings. Central Point Grange At the Central Point Grange, the recommendations were: 1. More irrigation; 2. Rural road improvement; 3.

Transportation improvement (railroad); 4. Cooperative community spraying of flies and mosquitoes, and 5. Marketing and processing of farm products. Master Don Bohnert and Gene T. McCurley, of the committee, conducted the discussion.

The Shady Cove Grange recommended: 1. Fire protection for the Shady Cove and Trail areas; Better county roads; 3. Traffic control on Highway 62; 4. Improvement of Highway 62, and 5. New industries and processing plants for farm products.

Master Phil Matschenbacker, and Bohnert and McCurley conducted this session. Control Rubbish Dumping At the Griffin Creek Grange, the recommendations were: 1. Regulations and enforcement to stop dumping rubbish along roadways, and more conscientious attention to traffic violations by police, even to the point of less attention to parking meters; special attention to stop sign violations; 2. Overhaul of the traffic situation, with more emphasis on clearer stop signs, more consistency in control signs, and more stop lights in the Medford area proper; 3. Cleanup anl removal of trash when irrigation ditches are cleaned, and eventual placing of irrigation facilities underground for safety, sanitation and efficiency; 4.

Better control measures for weeds and wild growth along county roadways, and 5. Clearer letters and numbers on rural mail boxes, and some method of telling the location in the county of the box holder. Grangemaster Wesley Christ-lieb, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hammond conducted the Griffin Creek Grange session.

Other Sessions Due Other rural clinic discussion sessions are being conducted in Granges and Farm Bureau centers this week. Clinics for Med ford will be conducted for four days starting April 21. Arrangements to attend one of the clinic sessions may be made by anyone interested by telephoning the Chamber of Commerce, 2-6293. FAREWELL CALL Washington (U.R) Francis White, Ambassador to Mexico, Saturday paid a farewell call on President Eisenhower before leaving for his new post at Mexico City. White said he will leave here Monday by automobile for Mexico City.

PRESIDENT TO SPEAK Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower has accepted an invitation to speak at the fifth annual $100-a-plate dinner of the New York State Republican organization in New York, May 7, the White House said Saturday. OPEN NOW PIONEER Trout Farm PIONEER ROAD 1 Mils South, Mile West of Phoenix The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce last week received reports from three more Granges where "community clinic" discussions of problems facing the county were conducted. Each of the three, as the result of the discussion, prepared a list of five recommendations or plans of action which it felt are important to the well-being and future of the county. In each case the sessions were conducted by the Grange masters and by representatives of By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent nightclubs, don't do this or that, where to eat, what bars to go into. The single girls are told they can't have a drink alone, and the boys are told who to take out.

"Hollywood won't let them be themselves! What individuality can they have?" Peggy was told to "behave," too, when she returned to Hollywood from the stage to appear with Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" at Columbia studio. So far she has limited herself to dating John Hodiak and socialite Spencer Martin. European Cut-ups In. Europe, however, Peggy's cut-ups were the more noticeable variety. She hocked a fur coat and emerald necklace "that some fool gave me" to tour Europe.

She tossed such a rousing farewell party for herself in New York that she missed the boat. It was while visiting Westminister Abbey that she sat on the throne. And why? "I got tired," yawned Peggy. Talking to a character like Peggy can be a strain, however. Her conversation includes the phrase, "take a cab," which, after nine repeats, I deciphered to mean "scram." She then took 15 minutes to write a check to pay for our lunch.

She wrote down everything from her phone number to her driver's license number but made the check out to the wrong restaurant and for got to sign her name. "I was Shelly Winter's roommate in New York," Peggy observed acidly as she rewrote the check. "She came to Hollywood first and stole my act." Dam Construction Request Withdrawn Washington (U.R) The United States is withdrawing an application seeking Canada's approval of a huge dam and reservoir project near Libby, it was announced Saturday. Xhe dam, which would cost an estimated to $300,000,000, would have backed up water on the Kootenai river 58 miles in the United States and 42 miles in Canada. Officials said the dam and reservoir project would have been second in size only to the Grand Coulee project.

Officials emphasized that the U.S. decision to withdraw the application for the Libby dam and Reservoir project does not mean that the project is dead. They said the question had come i up of moving the dam farther downstream in Montana, below the town of Libby. They said some new proposals might be submitted "later on." Three species make up the majority of the world's supply of tuna albacore, yellowfin and skipjack. Eugene Jet Pilot On Missing Plane Nia'gara Falls, N.

Y. (U.R) Planes and ships continued their search of eastern Lake Ontario Saturday for 1st Lt. William G. Stephenson, III, 24, of Eugene, pilot of an F-47 Thunderbolt that disappeared. Stephenson was last heard from at 1:21 a.m.

Friday when he made a routine radio check while on a training flight from the Niagara Falls Air Force base. He had fuel for one hour.
