1 1 i 'V- NOTEBOOK JOniNGS Hal Boyl Fills The Summer Dearth Of Humorous Stories By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. UP) Notebook Manhattan li the capital city of people who taut 10 memseives . . . they walk along gabbing out loud at a great rate . . . many appear to be out of their minds, but no one bothers them . . . what happens to them? Where do they go? ... Passed one on crowded Sixth avenue the other day ... he was muttering this message over and over: "Get ready, sheep, get ready. You won't be here long." M summer dearth in good stories has set in. But with t bow to whomever it belongs to, I'd like to pass along the cutest one I've heard all season: At a children's party one daring youngster suggested. "Let's play postoffice." The blushing boys and tittering girls all agreed It was a great idea. The first pair to start the game were shy.- So they went into a closet. The rest of the children fathered outside the door. They istened and listened but couldn't hear a sound. After about IS m' lutes one child rapped on the dorr and said: "What are you doing In there?" And from inside the closet a muffled small voice shrilled des perately: "We aren't doing anything. Our , braces are hooked I" Friend of mine has a son in nursery school. When his parents set out recently to attend an eve ning meeting with teachers, he wanted to know why. "Oh, to learn how to raise you betL-r," he was told, "Well," said the boy, "try to find out why I'm so afraid of thunder and lightning, will you?" How-the-language-grows note: A movie producer giving his views to a luncheon group: "I'm just thinking out loud mentally." . . . But my favorite is this mysterious remark overheard in a beauty shop: "So I told him, 'Listen, wise guy, take your diamond ring out of my new tencent hair net. ' . Martini-lovers tend to want their drinks dryer and dryer. And bar tenders sometimes get weary of being told, "Make mine like the Sahara." "Why don't you just have a thrtwaway martini?" one barman finally asked one of these high voltage customers. "What's a throwaway martini?" The barman poured some ver mouth in a glass, swished it around, then emptied It down the drain. Then he filled the glass with pure gin and set it before the cus tomer with query, "dry enough?" A number of Broadway- charac ters were having one of those heavy intellectual discussions that start in night clubs after midnight. The subject: How to deal with the tierman problem?

Northwest Needs Told Democratic Natl. Chairman THE DALLES. June 27 -tPi Northwest business, farm and la bui leaders give William Boyit Jr., chairman of the Democratic national committee, their recipes for development of the Pacific Nortnwest nere. Boyle promised to take them dir ectly to presmenr, Truman wnen he gets back to the nation cap ital tomorrow. The conference, unique in that most of those attending were Re publicans, was called to let the national administration know what the people of Oregon think should be done to develop the area's re sources. Most called for construction of more multi-ournose dams to aid irrigation and navigation. But Chester Dusten, regional dir ector of the CIO warned that fish ing and lumbering, industries which employ thousands of work ers in the. area, must not be for gotten. He said there is an im mediate need for more reforest ation and development of access roads. Charles Baker. Walls Walla, pre sident of the Inland Empire Water ways association, backed the am construction program on the Snake and Columbia rivers. More Pewar Needed 'Franklin D. Roosevelt's fore sight in building Bonneville was the key that unlocked our greatest resources," he said, "but it is not enough; we still nave a power shortage. Dams are not uneconomic, w. s. Nelson, secretary of The Dalles chamber of commerce, told Boyle and Mrs. India Edwards, vice chairman of the democratic com mittee. "You should tell the people in the east that 84 percent of the cost is repaid by the s a 1 e of power," he said. Earlier Boyle expressed regret that Oregon does not have an In telligent hard-working Democratic delegation in Congress." To develop Boyle said, the re gion needs people who can "look far her han their noses."

This action was foreshadowed two weeks ago when the federal crop reporting board forecast this year's crop at about one-fifth smaller than last year's. Quotas must be proposed by the secretary when supplies reach a legally-defined "surplus level Growers must comply with quotas when they are in effect or pay stiff penalties. Brannan said- that present sup plies, while large, are not quite big enough to warrant marketing controls. Quotas would have to be approved by at least two-thirds of the growers voting in a national referendum. Quotas were last applied to wheat in 1942. They are in effect this year on cotton, major types of tobacco and peanuts. Acreage planting allotments will bo assigned wheat growers later, and possibly will call for a smaller acreage than was seeded for this year's crop. Growers may abide by or Ig nore planting allotments, but only those who comply are eligible for government price supports. Brannan estimated the total wheat supply at 1,395,000,000 bush els. He sail it was 18 per cent above the "normal" supply or two per cent below the marketing quota level.
