What does a girl look for when she picks a boy friend? Is every girl the only girl for some love smitten boy? Is every boy the only boy . for some love smitten girl? These are questions that have been kicking around the world ever since the early cave men took club in hand and went hunt ing for a help-mate and ever since the first cave woman al lowed herself to be dragged by the tresses to the altar rail. We decided to find out what makes young hearts tick in uni son by shooting these age-old questions at more than 1.000 teen-agers in cities and towns across the continent. To our surprise and probably to yours too we learned that personality is spelled with a cap ital "P" when both boys and girls set out to choose friends of the opposite lex. Sharpr Than Webster? Personality, according to Web- RBMM 600! Per stcr, is a "quality or stale of be ing a person and not a thing or abstraction. . .that which consti tutes distinction of person, indivi duality." We have no quarrel with Web ster, but we think Sonde Gold farb, a Ni-year-old New Haven, Conn., girl who took part in the survey expressed it much more succinctly when she said, "It means a friend should be fun to be with, not a drip." And young Paul Steinke of Philadelphia tak ing a negative approach, said "it means not being a square." More than 25 percent of the girls and nearly 28 per cent of the boys put personality in first place on their list of character traits sought in friends of the op posite sex. Among both boys and girls, personality received nearly twice as many first place votes as any other friendship asset. After that, there was a wide difference of opinion among the sexes. Boys and Girls Differ Boys quickly reverted to the wow and whistle school of thought by placing good looks in second place on the list, a shade ahead of companionship and well ahead of such attributes as brains, edu cation, good family and similar background. The girls weren't particularly concerned whether their boy friends looked like Gregory Peck or the bridegroom of Franken' stein's daughter so long as they had a good reputation, made good companions and had a good edu cation. These three qualities wound tip in second, third and fourth place, respectively, on te male list of. charm qualities sought in the ideal boy. Good looks, as a matter of fact, closed a poor seventh with the girls, but still well ahead ot brains and money. Surprisingly, boys put a higher premium on brainy girl friends than girls did on brainy boy friends, despite the high femin ine regard for good education. Boys may still be on the lookout for good looking girls, but the dumb blonde type seems a thing of the Hollywood past in most neighborhoods. As Lee Hallct of Chicago put it, "who wants to talk to himself all night?" But a Philadelphia lad filed a dissent ing opinion. "I'm a sucker for a pretty face," he admitted. Money Finished Out Of Money Money finished in last place on both lists, an indication that both the golddigger and the gigolo may be passing from the Ameri can scene. After paying homage to beauty, boys voted heavily in favor of good reputation, putting it in fourth place on their list (com pared with second for the girls' list), just a notch behind com panionship. Girls put a higher regard on good family (fifth place) than boys (seventh place). Agreeing with Martha May Long of Little Rock, Ark., that "good family means most often a good boy." Intrigued by the overwhelming vote given personality by both boys and girls, we sought an ex planation by asking for comment from selected teen-agers. Here are a few samples of what we learned: Chicago boy: "It's cheaper to talk than go out. Forest Hills, N. Y. girl: "Who cares if still water runs deep? I want to have some fun and gaity with my friends, or 1 might as well stay home with good book." Stamford, Conn., boy: "Dull people, ugh!" Ashland, N. J. girl: "Personali ty is what makes the world go 'round and draws people to gether." The girls also reflected their preference for personality in com menting on masculine good looks. "The dullest and most stupid boys 1 know could win a man's beauty contest," sniffed a 15-year-old New Jersey miss. And an Indiana girl thought that "a good personality takes the place of good looks". Several strong votes, however, were recorded for the tall, dark and handsome type, no matter how dull and dreary. "Who wants an ugly boyfriend?" asked one girl who obviously didn't. And a 13-year-old Peggy Mullen of Had donfield, N. J. commented, "I dig cute boys don't you?" The an swer appears to be no among most of her sister bobby-sockers. Why do boys want brainy girl friends? Their questionnaire com ments provided some clues. '1 ad mire someone with brains," said a Germantown, Pa., lad. "At least 1 want them to try to think. ) A midwestern boy admitted that in picking a girl Iricnd he sure hopes she's smarter than me or we re both sunk! The girls also had their rea sons for wanting some brain as well as brawn in the male companions. Having specific knowledge in subjects of common interest real ly forms the basis of a good friendship," said a New Jersey junior miss. An Ohio girl com mented that if her boyfriend is interested in bettering his educa tion, "he'll know what he wants to do later in life." And a New Haven lass showed no patience whatsoever with dim-witted boys. "1 don't like ignorant people who have no excuse for being dumb," she huffed. Order of Preference From the results of the survey it appears that if a girl wants to avoid being a wallflower all she needs, in this order, are: person- lity, good looks, be a good com panion, good reputation, brains, education, come from a good fam ily, have a background similar to the boy in question, and finally but not too importantly, have money. The line forms to the right. And if a boy wants to be popu lar with the girls all he needs, in this order, are: personality, good reputation, be good companion, good education, 'good family, come from a similar background, good looks, brains, and a little money. So all vou homely, brainy, well educated, somewhat impoverished well reputed tellows witn the ler- Dulles Attaches First Importance To Allies Views WASHINGTON W Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday the United States attaches first im portance 16 its relations with its Allies and will not throw their views into the discard just to make speed with the Soviet Union on a disarmament agreement. Dulles told a news conference that some aspects of disarmament probably can be talked about with Russia on an informal basis. But he said emphatically that present arms control negotiations are not simply two-way talks be tween the United States and Rus sia. Dulles made these points when questioned, about the sudden re turn here Saturday of disarma ment negotiator Harold Slassen. Stassen still was in Washington Tuesday which means a delay in the scheduled reopening of dis-i armament talks in London. These had been set for Tuesday after noon.

S. disarmament proposals, While Dulles left the way open for some direct Stassen-Zorin con tact, his words strongly indicated that he disapproves of any nego tiations directly with Russia un less U.

Khrushchev predicted Wednesday the Reds will destroy capitalism. not with nuclear weapons but through the spread of the ideology. "We are as sure of this as we are sure the sun will rise tomor row," Khrushchev said in an off-the-cuff speech during a tour of the Lenin museum in this city. Khrushchev and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin are on a hand shaking tour in Finland. "We warn the capitalists," the Communist chief said, "we have a newer and better weapon, a weapon that no one else possesses, stronger than the atom or hydro gen bombs: the ideological weap on." He added: "All we have to do is grease our ideology with butter." That is just about what the Bulganin-Khrushchev tours appar ently have been intended to do. Khrushchev indicated the U.S. S R. has no intention of calling mond Price, Jimmy Weatherman, Muriel Altman, Roseburg. Silver Salmon Fleet At Sea Thur., June 13, 1957 The Nets-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 Couple Departs For Russia But Children Stay Behind CHICAGO I The George, At previous court hearings.

Ufi A 100- boat fishing fleet is reported off the Southern Oregon coast, des pite the fact the silver salmon fishing season does not open until Saturday. stale police said they arrested five of the fishermen when they were driven into port by high winds earlier this week. They took some silver salmon from each boat as evidence and charged the men with illegal possession of the fish. The fishermen posted $30 bond each, and left port when the wind subsided. Sgt. Walter Hcrshey of the state police said there was no way for police to slop the boats that can be seen off shore. He said the only state police launch capable of going to sea is at Astoria, at return, termination to return to Russia even as their infant son was taken from the mother's arms, departed Tuesday for the long journey to their homeland. Left behind too, were three old er sons of the Russian couple. The children remained here on orders of a court which decided that it would be best for their welfare for them to grow up as Americans. But in the background of that decision there also was considera tion of the history of George and Nabedja Kozmin. The father, 54. and mother, 35, came to the United States in 1950 as displaced persons. Three sons Richard, 10; George, 8, and Paul, 7 were born in a dis placed persons camp in Germany. The infant, Peter, 9 months, was born in Chicago. In 1953, both parents were com mitted to a state hospital for mental treatment. The children then were placed under supervi sion of family court. Failing in efforts to return to the Soviet Union with their chil dren, the Kozmins testified in family court May 15 Ihey would go back even without the chil dren. Mrs. Kozmin, expecting a fifth child, said she wanted to be in Russia when it is born so that the family court would have no jurisdiction over the child. At the railway station with the Kozmins was Fedor Solomatin, chief of the Russian Embassy's consular division. When a court deputy appeared to claim Ihe in fant, Solomatin did not interfere. But the attorney for Ihe couple, Stephen Love, criticized the- deci sion to refuse the couple permis sion to take the infant. He said: "This is the most illogical, silly, impractical decision I've ever heard of in any court. The result will be used by the Rus sians as propaganda against us all over the world." The Russian Embassy in Wash ington is financing the Kozmin's the other end of the state Hershey said three of the fisher men arrested were from Califor nia.

Tuesday re ported a $2 million decline in sales in 1956 and its president blamed the drop on a falloff in new housing construction. Martin N. Deggeller, Harbor president, in a report to stock holders, said production of ply wood footage was "considerably higher" in 1936, but that price de clines forced earnings and stock holders dividends down. "A decrease in housing starts is primarily responsible for the de crease in demand for lumber and plywood," Deggeller said. "Price improvement is improbable until there is a better balance between production capacity and demand." The report said the index price of plywood decreased from $90 in May ol 1958 to $67, which held until January of this year when it advanced to the present $72. Deggeller said il a r b o r Ply wood's net sales for 1956 were S20.036.586, compared with $21, 914,320 in 1955. Net income for the fiscal year ending March 1, 1957, was $603,743, compared lo $1,249, 107 in 1955 and per-share earn ings dropped to 59 cents from $1.22.

"We believe in noninterference in the internal affairs of other countries, but in one field we can not compromise, and that is ideology." It was the most outspoken talk Khrushchev has made since he and Bulganin began their six-day lour. The two were concluding their swing in this city where Stalin and Lenin, the two leaders of Bolshevism, first met 52 years ago. Owner Of Stork Club Arrested NEW YORK tfl Stork Club owner Sherman Billingsly volun tarily surrendered lo police on 5lh Avenue last night only a few steps from his plush night spot. He was picked up on a charge of felonious assault with a gun. A house painter filed a com plaint earlier alleging that the 57 year - old night club proprietor pulled a gun and chased him and fellow workers off the stoop of the Billingsly residence. Billingsly appeared in Night Court with his attorney Roy Colin. Cohn was counsel for the Senate Internal Security subcommittee when it was headed by the late Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. Billingsley was released in Cohn's custody after agreeing to hand over to police three guns he kept at home. He is lo appear in Felony Court today. The arrest was the latest in a series of difficulties for Billings ley. Pickets have been parading outside the hlork Club for some time in a dispute involving wait ers and kitchen help. This has led to several court cases. Late yesterday house painter Murray Beskin, 40, swore out a complaint against Billingslev. TASTE JELLS, LADIES! Moke the Amazing NEW "- MX P.
