V J' "V i ' S - - A-i Recently there was discovered in Milan the portrait of Jacques Casanova, the celebrated profli gate of 18th Century Europe. This one was done by Mengs, a Bo hemian painter, with whom Casa nova was associated during this stay in Madrid. ; The portrait is far less flattering than others of the one whose very name Is catchword for lechery. It shows him popeyed, weak -of chin, sen suous-mouthed. The discovery has revived interest in this Don Juan of real life who rolled a variety of careers into one. At different times he was a student for the priesthood, gambler, spy, abbe, diplomat, author, librarian and most of the time by his own proclamation a libertine par; ex cellence. For all his amours of dalliance Casanova, in spite; of them (if not because of them) moved in high circles of court and society. He made a fortune s director of lotteries in Fraflce, an office he obtained through the patronage of Queen Marie An toinette. " !

Russia, Iran to Name Panel to Solve LONDON OP) Moscow Radio said Monday Iran and the Soviet Union have agreed to set up a joint commission to iron out all prob lems existing between the two countries. These problems include the debts owed one another and border trou bles, i The broadcast said the mixed Ir anian - Russian commission will meet in Tehran, Iran, but gave no date. . ' President Eisenhower said last week that Iran's tolerance of Com munism was a threat to the Free World. The broadcast said the purpose of the Soviet-Iranian agreement is to "strengthen existing friendly relations" between the two coun tries. Observers in London saw the move as a possible attempt by Iran's Premier Mohammed Mossa-1 degh to put pressure on Western! nations wmcn nave tnwarteo to a great extent his efforts to market oil from the nationalized hold ings of the Anglo - Iranian Oil Corporation. Iran and Russia have a long his tory of border disputes. Border claims of the two nations overlap at 19 points along their 750-mile mutual frontier.

Whipped by a strong wind the flames burned over fescue grass land on the Emil Hint! and Howard Mader farms before they were controlled.

Four, Corner Fire Department volunteers who answered the 12:30 p. m. call said at times the billowing flames leaped higher than a man's' head. The enormous smoke clouds brought neighbors and the curious on the run. Also answering the call were the Aumsville and Sublimity fire departments. It required an hour and a half to bring the flames under control in the dry grass. ; A large flock of turkeys on I an adjoining farm were spared a pre-mature roasting only because the wind was blowing awayj from them although flames crept to the edge of the field! in which they were feeding, firemen said.
