Observer, La Grande, Ore., Wad., May 27, 1959 Page 3 ANN LANDERS, Answers Tour Problems Dur Ann Landcrt: I'm writing in regard to the letter concerning coys visiting girls who are baby sitting. 1 agree ' with you that this should not be permitted. My reasons, however, are not entire ly the same as yours. When people hire a sitter they trust her with their most valuable possessions their children. If the sitter is entertaining a bov friend she's not so likely to give her lull attention to her responsibili ties. . . The girl who goes to work in tn office or a retail store wuold u't thing of entertaining friends on the job. Why, then, should she expect to do this while baby sitting? She's being paid for her time and her employer has the right to expect her undivided at tention. Sitters should have this explained to them from the out set. It should not be assumed that they "know better." Most of them don't. Mother of fiv. -0ar M.O.

The society said in a special re port that medical progress in the fight against the disease has in creased the life span of the leu kemia victim although leukemia still is relentless .in its claim on life. Whereas life expectancy in cas es of acute leukemia, used to be only a matter of weeks or months, ehterpeutic agents have stretched this to as much as.-a few years. Chronic leukemia 'patients may survive for from several years to as much as 10 or even 20 years, the society said, adding that the best chance was held by those who contracted chronic leukemia in later life. ;.im The cancer society said the leu kemia death, rate among males of all ages has risen- from 2.5 per 100,000 in 1930 to 7.4 in 1956. Among females-, less susceptible to the disease than males, the death rate increased from 1.8 to 3.1 during the same period. The report said the increase in incidence of leukemia was great er among persons 50 ' years and older. Although leukemia often is thought of as a children's disease, the society said that the 11,000 who die annually ' of the disease in this country less than 2,000 are children. ... - Other Findings The report also said: The incidence Of leukemia is greater among the privileged clas ses than among the less privileged and greater among urban than among rural dwellers. The disease rarely Is present at birth. -. Research among mice has dis closed leukemia may be caused by a vims. 1 The Cancer Society is spending nearly one million dollars this year for leukemia research. Research has identified some 'of the causative adepts-of animal leukemia as X-ray's,' certain coal tar. products, specific hormonal imbalances and cell-free or virus like agents. privately, then publicly pretend you hive a ound-proof head, HE'S TRYING FOR MORE MONEY NOT TO DRAFT MORE MEN WITH Hermiston Man Found Innocent In Outdoor Trial HERMISTON UPD A Justice Court jury returned a verdict of innocent Tuesday evening in the outdoor trial of Hubert R. Ram sey. 52, Hermiston, who had been charged with holding game birds without a state permit. The open-air trial, first of its kind in more than 100 years here, was held on a lawn outside the courthouse. Judge Don E. Hurrle said ear lier his courtroom, . 13-by-14 feet, was inadequate for a jury trial and announced plan's to conduct the proceedings outside if the weather was nice. .'", About 100 spectators watched the trial in bright, sunshine. The jury deliberated one hour and five minutes and returned the innocent verdict about 5:20 p.m. The jury members were seated on chairs brought from the court room and Judge Hurrle had his desk and chair moved outside. The case went to the jury about 4:15 p.m. and the panel conferred in, the courthouse before return ing outside and announcing its de cision. Ramsey,, 'operator of a hardware and 'plumbing supply store, acted as his own defense. Kenndy. Included Hawaii For Talk WASHINGTON UPI) Sen. John F. Kennedy, the front-runner for the Democratic Presidential nomination, will carry his speaking campaign to Hawaii this summer. The Massachusetts Democrat told United Press International to day that any other details of his planned visit to the nation's 50th state would be announced by his island hosts. But Kennedy, who also visited Alaska last November, is the only one of the four leading Democrat ic presidential possibililities who now has definite plans to go to either of the new states this year. A-check showed that Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey (Minn.), Sen. Stuart Symington (Mo.) and Sen ate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.)' have no visits to the former territories scheduled. Kennedy has been stumping the country for months. Both Humph rey and Symington are nearing a peak stride in their out-of-Wash-ington appearances. Johnson, who insists he is not and will not be a candidate, is spacing his' speech es more widely. By FRANK ELEAZER UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) One way or another, most young fel lows these days are being passed up by the draft, ho here was Lt Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, the draft director, asking for more money not to draft 'em with. From all the signs, he may get it too, although it is true a Sen ate Appropriations subcommit tee which heard Ilersehy's plea had hoped things would work out the other way 'round. Chairman Warren G.Magnuson (D-Wash.) told the general folks are beginning to say, "look at that Hershey fellow, spending 30 million dollars a year to take 100,000 men into service." He said it looks to him, too, like drafting these few fellows is getting kind of expensive. Plenty Of Paperwork True, said Hershey, whose trou bles probably weren't much worse when he was drafting 'em by the hundreds of thousands each month. But the way things are now, Her shey said it's not the fellow he drafts that costs him so much; it's the several others he leaves at home. v " The trouble is," Hershey moaned, "it takes hundreds of pages of paper to defer a man, where it takes only one page to induct him." There are some 16 million guys around who can testify to the efficacy of that one page. Greet ings from the President, it said. But although 118,000 young men turn 18 each month, and must register for the draft, only about 10,000 each month now get this cheery announcement. "We are going on .the assump tion, now with a reasonable supply of manpower, that where anybody is doing anything in the national interest, we let 'em go ahead and do it," Hershey ex plained. ' Scientists and engineers of course are deferred. So are teachers. So are youngesters who look like they are going to be scientists, engineers, and teachers. Sq in fact are students of just about anything else, as long as they keep up their grades. So are fellows in all kinds of jobs held to be useful. His Budget Cut Farmers don't1 go. Fathers gen erally don't either. With Hcrshey's declining busi ness in mind, the House recently ordered a cut in his budget. For the year starting July 1, he asked for $30,650,000 compared to the $29,556,800 which he currently has. The House gave him only $29,000, 000. He asked the Senators to restore the $1,650,000 reduction. Not only is there endless paperwork invol ved in deciding a man ought to be defferred, Hershey said, but once he's deferred, his local board always has to keep him in sight. It's lot less work just to draft him. But even then Hershey's trou- les aren't over. He said 40 per cent of the men he sends to the induction station are turned down as unfit, for reasons that sometimes leave him scratching his head. "We had a fellow once turned down on account of a bad back, Hershey recalled. "They said he couldn't lift. Now he is a Steven- dore by profession." Miss Universe Loser Gains Starring Role In New Film By VERNON SCOTT UPI Stay Writer HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Blonde Evy Norlund, a loser in last year's Miss Universe pageant, came up a winner this week with a studio contract and a starring role in her first movie. As Miss Denmark of 1958, Evy made the semi finals and was heading back to Copenhagen when she was spotted by a Columbia Studios scout who obviously be lieved the contest judges goofed. Timid and beautiful, the shapely Dane is undergoing the same gla mour build-up expended on Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak (both Columbia graduates). But it may be an uphill battle. Evy frequently is mistaken for Kim, and on occasion she is con fused with Brigitte Bardot. Evy speaks English with a slight accent, and is baffled by our units of measure. Asked for her measurements, she answered, "my bust is DO, my waist 58, and my hips 90." Meant Centimeters A studio press agent gave an imitation of a man suffering apoplexy. "That can't be right, he cried. "When you say '90' what do you mean 90 what!" "Centimeters, of course," Evy answered, somewhat alarmed her self. "Is that so bad?" 'I dont know," the distraught publicist said. "I'll have to check up on it. A thing like this could uc a disaster. A quick telephone call to the wardrobe department estiblished that measurements in English, the flack admonished her. Evy's curves will never be mistaken in her movie debut, "The Flying Fontaines," in which she plays a trapeze performer. Her costumes are brief and re vealing. Bruised From Falls "I only appear on the trapeze in closeups, she said. "I am bruised all over from falling in to the net." "Now, honey, we mustn't give away any secrets," the flack interrupted. "Actually, Evy does go up pretty high on the trapeze. Lotta guts. Lotta courage for a little girl who never has done anything like this before. Wouldn't surprise me if she could become a real professional high-flyer." Evy wrinkled her pretty nose and shook her head. "I don't like it," she said. "It hurts mv arms and shoulders hanging onto the trapeze. I'll be glad when it's over. Calls of the sharp-tailed grouse include chickenlike cacklings and a gobbling note.
