4 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Thur., July 14, 1949 Vacation Six Feet Underground Possesses Certain Advantages By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. UP) Rainy day roundup: An unconscious hero of our times is Ray Emmert ol Zanesville, Ohio. This 40-year-old ex-soldier solved his personal unemployment problem by having himself buried alive In a coffin six feet under ground. For weeks thousands of curi ous people thronged to his tem porary grave and dropped coins Into a contribution box for the privilege of staring down through a 10-inch observation tunnel at Emmert's placid countenance. After 45 days Emmert emerg ed, collected his financial trib ute, and claimed a new "buried alive" record. His chief com plaint was that he got "tired of looking at nothing but faces." The whole experience typifies the desire of twentieth century man to escape from oppressive reality. And It may set a pat tern for the man of the future. There is no reason why every man shouldn't, from time to time, follow Emmert's example. All he needs to "get away from it all" is a shovel, a cheap pine coffin and a friend to cover him up. , The milk man could lower hira a fresh bottle of milk every morning, and the delivery boy from the delicatessen could drop him a ham sandwich or a hard boiled egg once or twice a day. It would be a wonderful way to spend a restful vacation right In your own back yard. through that annual argument And you wouldn't have to go go to the mountains or the sea shore. What could be better? No wor risome sunburn, no vexing mos quitos, no hotel bills, no sore muscles. This relaxing fad of being bur- led alive might well sweep the country except lor one thing: fcvery man has an uneasy feel Ing that, once he was six feet underground, his relatives and friends might decide he wasn't worth the trouble of digging up. u Overheard on a tus: "Women are lust natural showoffs.

The corset industry says Ameri can women buy 3,500,000 "falsies" a year. And, as If that weren't bad enough, Manhattan butcher shops are now using rubber parsley in their display cases.

R 1 Acheson Protests Any Cut In Foreign Arms Aid Program WASHINGTON, July 14 (IP) secretary ot state Aeneson yes terday flatly opposed any cut in the administration's projected $1,450,000,000 foreign arms aid program. He said this figure represents the absolute minimum needed for Western Europe and other areas. The secretary stated his posi tion at a news conference while opposition led by Senator Taft was wiping out prospects for a quick Senate vote on the North Atlantic treaty. The small group opposing the defense agreement centered their fire on the military aid program and the commitments carried in the pact. Acheson also commented on another issue which has arisen on Capitol Hill. He agreed with Senator Dulles (R.-N. Y.) that the United States delegation at the Big Four foreign ministers' meeting in Paris had considered whether the American people should be kept "artificially alarm ed" and had rejected the idea completely. The matter came up, Acheson said, in discussion of whether the Russians might try to create a false sense of peace and secur ity by making a show of cooper ation. The U. S. delegation, he added, decided that it should not reject any possible avenue of co operation with the Soviet Union merely because acceptance of the avenue might relax tension in the world. Majority Leader Luas (D.-Ill.) said he may keep the Senate in session Saturday to reach a vote on the 12-nation alliance designed to strengthen the defenses of the west against attack. Other senators said privately the vote may not come until early next week. Senator Wherry of 'Hoppers' Damage Crops In PULLMAN, Wash..
