J. C. PENNEY
' James Penney
colorful figure
At 84, James Cash Penney,
founder of the chain of stores that
bear his name, has had a career
more colorful than any merchant
in Baghdad.
He founded his first store in the
mining town of Kemmerer, Wyo.,
in 1903. Today, there are 1,700
stores in the J. C. Penney organi
zation. ,
4 He still puts in long days at his
New York office and travels more
than 50,000 miles a year inspect
ing the nationwide retail organi
zation. V. M. Fay, manager of the Pen
ney store in Long Beach, Calif.,
says that Penney visited the new
store two years ago.
"I was hoping," says Fay, "that
Mr. Penney was impressed by the
beauty of the displays, and the
.bright lights and glamorous set
ting. But on the way downstairs,
Mr. Penney said, 'Vern, see those
' two customers over there. No one
is waiting on them. I'll take one
you take the other',"
Penney's credit
office readied
Establishment of a credit office
in Portland to serve the J. C. Pen
ney Company's forthcoming
charge account operations in all
its Oregon stores has been an
nounced by Jerry Fowler, mana
ger of Penney's in Bend.
Customer charge accounts will
be inaugurated at Penney's 42
stores in the Oregon area about
October 1, Fowler said. After 56
years of operating on a cash and
carry basis, Penney's initiated
credit operations at 24 stores in
1958, he recalled. Last year 1G9
stores were added to the group,
and by the end of this year about
600 Penney outlets are expected to
be offering credit. Target date for
installation of charge accounts at
all of the nearly 1700 Penney
. stores throughout the nation is the
end of 1963.
The Penney charge account is a
30-day plan enabling a customer
to pay an account in full within
30 days of billing date without
a service charge. It also provides
an option for customers desiring to
spread payments over a longer
period.
.Lemmon says .
car a lemon
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Actor
Jack Lemmon filed a $12,000
Superior Court damage suit Mon
day charging he purchased an
imported sports car he thought
was new but which turned out to
be used, and a lemon.
; Lemmon said he bought the
$6,800 auto last Sept. 11 and later
, learned it was a 1958 model pre
viously owned by a man in
Portland.
The suit, filed against J.C.
? Chamberlain Automotive Inc.,

! vehicle required serious mechani
i cal repairs only a month after the
t actor acquired it in addition to
I being last year's model.

Young skipper
fails to save
sinking ship
CHARLESTON, S.C. (UPI) -A
desperate effort to save a sinking i
oil tanker and its valuable cargo
from a watery grave off the South j
Carolina coast ended in failure
early today when the ship sank
in the Atlantic about 60 miles
from safety.
The young skipper and two crew
men of the stricken, 10,165 - ton
Sinclair Oil Co. tanker SS George
MacDonald had hoped to beach
their helpless ship in shallow wa
ter today and repair it for sea
duty again.
Until 2:40 a.m. e.d.t, the Mac-
Donald wallowed behind a sister
tanker moving slowly toward
shore. Her stern was under water,
her decks awashed to mid-ships,
and her bow jutted 29 feet higher
than the fantail.
But a terse message from die
towing tanker, the SS J. E. Dyer,
said the MacDonald "at 1:40 a.m.
e.s.t. broke its tow in a light rain
and 20 minutes later sank."
The Dyer's message added that
a 30-foot section of the MacDon
ald's bow remained above water
after she sank.
The MacDonald's skipper, 33-
year - old tldredge Burnthorn ot
Houston, Tex., ordered 40 crew
men to abandon ship Monday
night and Tuesday morning when
a massive rupture in Uie cooling
system flooded the engine room
and the ship appeared doomed.
Burnthorn, his mate and one crew
man stayed aboard to keep the
MacDonald from becoming a dere
lict and a prize for any who could
salvage her.
Puerto Rican
father held
for murders
CHICAGO (UPI) Police said
today a young Puerto Rican fa
ther would be charged with mur
der in the knife deaths of his
wife, three children and a cousin
who he said had stolen his wife's
love.
The five were killed late Tues
day night when the father, Ray
mond Hernandez, 26, went on a
wild rampage with an 11-inch
French chef's knife. He was cap
tured shortly after the killings.
The children, Rosita Gomez
Hernandez. 2, Icky Hernandez,
4'4, and Emma Gomez Hernan
dez, 6, were found in Hernandez'
apartment. Each had been
stabbed several times and laid
side by side in bed, still clad in
street clothes.
The wife, Mrs. Maria Gomez
Hernandez, 25, was found in her
third floor apartment less than
four miles away on Chicago's
North Side. Hernandez and his
wife had been separated for two
or three weeks.
