THE BEND BULLETIN Bend. Deschutes County. Oregon. Wednesday. July 21. 1954 Five-Year-Old Knows Question, 59,000 Richer By ELIZABETH TOOMEV United , Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)-In a town where ambitious young men com pete ruthlessly to succeed and where $9,000 is easier to spend than to earn, a fellow like Barry Schnit zer is as refreshing as country air. Barry" stopped by to tell about his good fortune. He had just ex perienced, he said, the proudest moment of my life. Barry is five years old. He ar rived in khaki shorts and a color ful sports shirt, a chunky, active boy who likes to keep busy. Within one half hour he had re viewed the current baseball situa lion; climbed a reception room railing: recited the alphabet back wards; borrowed a pencil to do some writing; named various state and foreign capitols and outlined his future. Born In Brooklyn Except for the luck of a city boy, Barry, might have grown up unknown outside the hilly Brooklyn neighborhood where he lives in an nparlmpnt with his parents. But the three of them attended the ABC television show "Break the Bank" two weeks ago, and the boys' bright face and snappy retorts caught the attention of the master of ceremonies. The three Schnitzers went on as contestants, leaving the theater with $9,900 more than they had when they came. Barry answered question correctly naming the pitchers in the longest baseball game on record. "It was a 2G-inning game be tween Brooklyn and the Boston Braves," Barry said. Personally, I like the Cleveland Indians and the Dodgers. "I will be a baseball player for; the Dodgers when I get old. I would be a batter, but Brooklyn needs pitching more, so I will be a pitch er." Reeitrd Alphabet Backwards "Would you like me to say the alphabet backwards?" he asked. Apparently to show he was not a one-topic man. He said it back wards. "We don't- teach him things, be cause he's going to be so bored in kindergarten next year," his moth er explained apologetically." "But he just learns." Stamp Agency Eliminates Forum WASHINGTON (IPI-The Post Of fice Department philatelic agency has indicated that it is taking steps to comply with President Eisenhower's request for more ef ficient postal service at less cost to the taxpayer. Elimination of an invoice form used by the agency in filling stamp orders sent in by collectors has speeded up the service with a considerable saving in time and money. Discontinuance of use of the form saves approximately 40 hours of clerical time a day. Ac cording to postal authorities, this will result in savings of about JM.OOO a year. The invoice form was discon tinued on Jan. 18. At that time 6.-1G7 orders were on hand in the agency. By late February the backlog had been taken care of. Orders previously requiring weeks to fill urc now being handled hours after their receipt. The faster service has been ac complished despite a substantial increase in sales. For the first four months of this year sales were up to $69-1,000, or a 33 per cent hike over the same period of 1953. IT ALL COMES OUT IN THE WASH When mama docs the family washing with some of today's free-sudsing detergents, employes of the Canton, Ohio, sewage dispusal plant see the results a few hours later.

Congress Today By UNITED PRESS Senate foes of the controverisal power purchase provisions in the atomic energy bill today warned that Senate sanction may lead to extend debate on other features of the measure. Under a ' gentlemen s agree ment," the Senate scheduled a showdown vote today about 3 p.m. EDT on President Eisenhower's plan to buy private power through the Atomic Energy Commission for delivery to the Tennessee Val ley Authority. And Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland served notice the Senate will meet "through the night" if necessary to reach a final vote on- the modernized Atomic Energy Act. A close vote on the power pur chase plan was predicted. Oppo nents, mostly Democrats, agreed they will need at least six QQP votes to defeat the provision. So far only two Republicans have at tacked it, Sens. John Sherman Cooper (Ky) and William Langer (ND). The power purchase plan has dominated the week-long debate on Schools Operate 1 1 f" Airplanes NEW YORK lP America's colleges and universities operate a fleet of.

The measure provides for greater exchange of atomic infor mation with U.S. allies, a start on industrial participation in atomic energy and other features. Senators who' oppose the admin istration's power proposal agreed at an impromptu caucus late Tues day to' end lengthy speeches. But they warned tjiat Senate approval could mean a long and bitter fight on the rest of the bill. Other congressional news: Subversives: The House was ex pected to overwhelmingly approve today a bill to strip convicted Com munist conspirators of their U.S. citizenship. It also was expected to pass two other anti-subversive measures. One would set up a 12 man commission to study subver sives in defense plants. The other would provide stiff penalties for bail jumpers. Veterans: GOP loaders called up for almost certain passage in the House compromise bills boosting disability payments to veterans and some of their ependents and giving Korean veterans an extra year to start their government-paid schooling. 1 Postal: Democrats and dissident Republicans predicted a combined bill to hike postal rates and give postal workers a 5 per cent pay raise will be defeated in the House today. - Housing Hill: Public housing ad vocates in the Senate conceded that the new housing bill will be enacted into law as it was ap proved by the House, minus the administration's public housing program. Foreign Aid: Sen. John J. Spark man (D-AIa) warned Congress against cutting U.S. aid to South east Asia because of the truce in Indochina. He said the Geneva settlement "sharpens the need" for assisting other nations to build de fenses against Communism. Social Security: The Senate Fi nance Committee has agreed unan imously to report to the Senate a watered-down version of (lie ad ministration's Social Security bill that is similar . to a measure al ready approved by the House. ' Social Security Change Stressed WASHINGTON llPI-The govern ment has this advice for brides- to-be : Change your social security earn wnen you cnange your name. it you lorget, it may cause complications years inter when you apply for retirement benefits under the federal old age insur ance program. A spokesman for the Social Se- surity Administration says it is not likely that women workers will lose any retirement benefits by failing to notify the agency of their married name, since ac counts are listed by numbers as well as names. But the benefits might be delayed because it takes time to check through all the rec ords if names are not listed prop erly. Most women who continue working after marriage do change their names on the records. The name - changing advice applies also to brides who do not intend to keep their jobs. They might de cide to work later on and forget about the name changing then. Or, in case of their death in later years, their children might lose some survivors' benefits under the social security program if they didn't know their mother had worked before marriage. Democrats Seek Right to Rule On Replacement WASHINGTON (UP)-Sen. Henry M. Jackson said today the Demo crats will demand the right to rule' on any man Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy picks to replace Roy M. Colin. Cohnchief counsel of the Senate under fire Tuesday in a staff shakeup in which one investigators was transferred and anotlie noti fied of possible dismissal. It was the worst setback of the McCarthy. It also was the first dramatic result of the 36-day Army McCarthy hearings. 7 McCarthy confessed today lie doesn't know who will succeed Cohn, whom ho called "pretty near ireplaceable." But everyone seemed to hope another fight can be averted. Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD)' said the staff shakeup means "the decks are cleared we can go Into an era of unanimous action again." Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Micn). who sparked the "housecleanlng" rpove, said "Now the thing to do is get going on our regular work." Kverytlung was so harmonious liter Tuesday's showdown sub committee meeting, in fact,, that Democrats Jackson and Stuart Symington (Mo) presided at a closed afternoon hearing on Com munists in Boston-area defense plants. , McCarthy announcedCohn's re signation Tuesday. Then just be fore the subcommittee meeting, he said his longtime lieutenant, Don ald A. Surine, was being trans ferred from the subcommittee staff to his own office. At the meeting itself, the three Democrats teamed up to put over Potter s motion to fire all subcom mittee employes who had not been approved by a majority before July 31. The subcommittee promptly and unanimously approved 22 staff members, including their director, Francis P. Carr, who figured along with Cohn. in the Army-McCarthy hearings. But Thomas W. Lavenia, sub committee investigator and former Secret Sei'vicemnn, was not con firmed. Potter said the group will meet soon to decide whether he should be fired or kept on. Resin Use With Lumber Studied MADISON, Wis. IIPI-Dr. J. A Hall, director of the U. S.' Forest Products Laboratory here, says a single sheet of resin-soaked pa per glued to each side of a white pine board can cut the board's swelling by nearly one-half. Hall said the paper hides knots. pitch pockets, stains and even narrow splints in the lumber. He made the statement after finishing research aimed at "up grading" common lumber by giv ing it a smooth, weather-resistant. unblemished surface. Bobby pin manufacturers of the United States use (iOOO tons of steel annually. 'Ah Pickets' To Guard U. S. Borders By JAMES C. ANDERSON United Pres Staff Correspondent 5ACKAMENTU, Calif. (UP) The U.S. Air Force is establish ing a "picketllne of airplanes to guard our shores against attack. Electronic eyes are giving the na tion a precious extra hour to prepare. Aerial picket planes, traveling at nearly 300 miles an hour and operating far offshore, will detect enemy bombers if and when they come long before the nation's network of ground radar installa tions can pick them up. The Air Force hopes the radar ulanes will be 'able to alert land based jet interceptors to meet the challenge before enemy aircraft ever reach the U.S. coastline. A closely guarded development of aerial radar stations is under way on a top-priority basis at McClellan Air Force Base where the USAF is organizing several squadrons of radar planes to pa trol both west and east coasts 24 hours a day. ' The Air Force early warning and control division, AEW, has anoth er mission, according to its com manner. Col. Kenneth H. Gibson. What we're trying to do is sup plement ' fixed radar defenses," Gibson said. "Radar in concrete is not enough in the jet age. We must assume the enemy knows where our ground radar posts are. he added. "And we must also assume they know the best ways to avoid them. 'But with our radar planes, we have mobility. We can shut them around, at 300 miles an hour, and the enemy can't know where they are." It is obvious, too, that the Air Force believes the radar planes Strategic Air Command Atomic, (SACJ. bombers an earlier tipoft of the enemy assault.

Americans today eat almost twice as much cheese as they did s,ome 20 years ago. About 10 per cent of the milk supply in the nation Is used for making cheeses, she said.
