Wed., June 21, 1961 W Why is that important? Well, it indicates that Americans aren't losing their native ingen uity. Incidentally. Americans are GAINING CONFIDENCE in their country. In February of 1960, a year and a quarter ago,, a Gallup poll on "who's ahead in the missile race" indicatod that 33 per cent of those interviewed thought the U.S. was ahead and 47 per cent thought Russia was ahead. As of today, according to a Gal lup poll just completed, 54 per eeni of our .people think the U.S. is ahead and only 20 per cent think Russia ia ahead. That could, of course, mean we're misrepresenting the (acts "and getting too cocky. But, if we lose confidence in ourselves, we'll be goners. President Kennedy gets some ad vice today about his sore back and what to do for it. The advice ' comes from 83-voar-old Bob Jloff- ,man. a veteran U.S. Olympic weight lifting coach and muscle building expert. He aays: "It isn't right to have a young President hobbling around on crutches," and adds: "I know a lot about bad hacks and how they can be cured. The best treatment is to hang from a horizontal bar and kick like a frog. The most ef fective way is to hang from your feet, but most men aren't acro batic enough. The next best way is to hang from a chinning bar by your hands. Pull your legs up 20 times like a frog. Then hang down quietly for about a minute." Pretty rough? Well, the interesting part of It Is that Hoffman is confident that JFK has the stamina to tackle any kind of program that seems to promise good results. Hoffman has been in Japan for some time, and is now preparing to start home. He will bring with lum a half ton of Japanese sea weed, cuttlefish sticks and dried fish powder for use in his health fond business. He says: "The minerals found in such simple foods apparently give the Japanese their stamina to work long hours and compete in sports, despite their diet shortage in pro teins and calories." Ilnimniniinmmm. ' That may be just the ticket for the Japanese, but we mustn't for get that OUR ancestors, when they tackled the prodigious job of win ning a new continent, did pretty well on beans, bacon, fried chirk en, corn bread and hominy grits not to mention buffalo hump and raddle-blanket steaks in the later days of the winning of the West." UNFORTUNATE HASSLE By Charles V. Stanton It is indeed unfortunate that a controversy has arisen over lack of a decision connected with the reported theft of money handled through Roseburg's city police depart ment. The frrand jury, to which findings were submitted, lias made no report. It has conducted investigations but has given the public no information, other than that contained in a statement by the District Attorney. The statement indicates that all evidence is of a nebu lous nature; that evidence is insufficient to justify an in dictment. It is a most serious matter when a policeman, a per son employed in law enforcement, will commit a crime. City officials believe a crime has been committed. They claim an audit reveals that an undetermined amount of money, taken from parking meters and passing through the police department before it got to the city treasurer, was stolen. To avoid any charges of whitewash or improper investi gation, the City of Roseburg, through the City Manager, called in an examiner from a neighboring city and also re quested a thorough investigation by the State Police. The investigation was made and a report submitted to the District Attorney. Probe Criticized The District Attorney's statement appeared to be criti cal of the methods used in the investigation. His state ment would indicate some pique because his office was by passed. He charged that certain evidence had been "dis sipated." The District Attorney's remarks indicating that he could better-have advised on the matter of evidence nec essary to the return of an indictment apparently has aroused the ire of both the State Police and the City Man ager. The City Manager, in discussing the matter, said that in calling in the Stale Police it was his opinion that the City of Roseburg was seeking the most thorough and un biased investigation. He denies that any evidence was per mitted to be "dissipated." This case is too important lo the whole public to per mit personalities to enter. The finding? of the Stale Police have not been made public. Perhaps they cannot be made public. It is the statement of the District Attorney that the evidence secured by the Slate Police is insufficient to justi fy an indictment against any individual. It is the duty of the Grand Jury to determine whether sufficient evidence' exists in connection with any alleged violation of law to justify a trial. In a good many cases there may be evidence to cause belief that a crime has been committed, yet there isn't enough proof to indicate that a jury trial would be worth its cost. Nor would it be proper to charge a person with a crime in the absence of positive proof of guilt. Information Secret Because publicity concerning inconclusive evidence would be an injustice to anyone who might be under sus picion, but against whom positive proof was lacking, pro ceedings of the Grand Jury are held in the utmost secre cy. Only when the Grand, Jury returns an indictment, charging a person with a crime, is there a public revela tion of the charges. It is required by our laws that the indictment must specify the crime committed, the salient facts surrounding the perpetration of the alleged crime, and Identify the persons appearing before the Grand Jury for examination. The Grand Jury, according to the District Attorney, has considered the reported theft at three sessions but has fail ed to take action. The District Attorney's statement would make it appear that one reason for failure to solve the case was that he wasn't called in on the investigation. The City Manager's position, on the other hpnd, is that the ability of the State Police as an investigative body is recognized. City officials, when the shortage of money was dis covered, made the statement that they wanted a com plete and impartial investigation conducted by a neutral agency. The city, it was staled, shouldn't seek to investi gate any reported defalcation by one of its own agencies. If the city failed 1o achieve a full investigation, the pub lic, it would seem to me, is entitled to a more explicit and detailed statement from the District Attorney. At the same time, personal pique, if it exists, should not be per muted to inlluence any decision. DEAR ABBY Abigail Van Buren 3 w y Loaded Question!

And the minute 1 light a cigarette, she keeps her eyes glued on me to see that an ash doesn't fall on the rug. When she has a few people in, she polices everyone every second. She makes me nervous. And she makes every one else nervous, too. Should I tell her, as one sister-in-law to anoth er, that she was a better hostess when she was more relaxed and didn't have all that fancy furni ture? Or would she think I was jealous? NERVOUS DEAR NERVOUS: If your furn ishings aro not as fancy as hers, she will probably think you aro ioalous.

Over a 22-year career his output has been relatively small for bour geoning Hollywood. "I've turned out fewer than 50 scripts," he remarked. "Some of the fellows out there have written 500." But among his films have been such notables as "High Noon," "Bridge on the River Kwai," "Champion," "Home, of the Brave," "The Key." and "The Mouse that Roared." He recently wrole and produced "Guns of Navarone." which tells of a suicidal commando raid against a German gun base. The Greek government obligingly loaned him three thousand troops and 12 destroyers for this $5 mil lion venture, filmed largely on the Island ot Rhodes in the Mediter ranean. Foreman's own Hfe story chron icles tha rise of the writer from low-paid serf to Ihe role of tycoon in the industry. After years of odd jobs ranging frum carnival press agent and sideshow barker to lab oratory technician, the Chicago born author finally sold his first film script in 1939 for J180. "I broke in the. hard way," he recalled, "on what Ihey called 'poverty row," a section in Sunset Boulevard that held the offices of' producers of cheap quickies "They made films for $18,000 to $20,000. To them a $30,000 picture was an epic. "A writer then was a barely necess-ary evil. He was a nui sance, hardly tolerated on the set. If Ihey could just have figured how to make movies without a writer at all, life would have been beautiful .for them. "Once when 1 objected to a change they made in one of my scripls, and said sij out loud, they decided on direct action nd in cluded me out. They called ever two policemen and had me thrown 'out of the studio." Since those days, however, the writer has risen lo the upper- stat us class.
