Fiery Tribute
Plan Checked
By Fire Chief
COS ANGELES, Feb. 21 -WV
Screwy happenings today along
the southern California news
front:
A drug chain with 44 branches
planned a super-duper Washing
ton's birthday- special a fiery
cherry sundae along the lines of
cherries jubilee, except that the
alcohol to feed the fire would be
provided not by brandy but by
vanilla.
Soda jerks garbed in fire lad
dies hats and coats were to serve
the flame-buoyant affair amid a
clanging of firebells. Rut Fire
Chief Henry Boone called the idea
too hazardous. So no jubilees,
and -no Jubilation at the soda
fountains.
In Pasadena, it wasnt man-bites-dog
story. It was a boy-bites-himself.
Jimmy Colvin, 13,
was doing a handstand when
playmate bumped him. Jimmy
nipped himself on the knee as he
came down. Doctors needed three
stitches to close the gash.
In Hollywood, Actress Marion
Colby divorced Jack B. Barnett,
gag writer for Jimmy Durante.
The reason: He was so unfunny
around the house he made her
cry. . r!
Out In the San Fernando valley,
the goats won. One of them was
brought to a city council session
last week to prove that goats are
well-mannered, sweet-smelling
assets to society. The council
came up today with Its ruling:
The goats can stay in the valley
if they stay 75 feet from a neigh
bor's yard. And behave them
selves no ifs, ands or butts.
But Santa Ana may have pro
vided the topper. There, two fire
men were suspended for playing
with firecrackers. Chief John
Garths said they tied the poppers
to gas stove jets In the firehouse
as a prank. Five days without
pay, said the chief.

Penalties for
Topping Crops
Quotas Asked15
WASHINGTON. Feb. H-4JPh
Reinstatement of strict penalty
provisions for exceeding wheat
and corn marketing quotas if
quotas should be imposed in the
future was recommended to con
gress today by agriculture depart
ment officials.
Frank Woolley. deputy director
of the production and marketing
a dminis tration. told s house agri
culture subcommittee that last
year congress apparently inadver
ently repealed provisions in the
farm law fixing the penalties.
He told a reporter later that
lack of such penalties In the pres
ent law makes little difference at
this time since marketing quotas
were not established for the 1850
corn and wheat crop.
The old law provided that the
penalty In excess marketing of
wheat and corn should be 50 per
cent of the basic loan rates in
section 302 of the act.
In revising the law tn 149.
Woolley said, congress repealed
section 302 and department attor
neys believe the penalties also
were repealed.
He recommended that the com
mittee, considering possible revi
sion of wheat laws, include a pro
Vision for a 50 per cent penalty.
