Othman Washington, March 21 (U.R) This to notify my esteemed em ployers that it Ihey have any notions about shipping me to Bikini atoll in the otherwise merry month of May to watch a certain fireworks display, I wish they d reconsider. I have come to the conclusion, like Sen. Harry Byrd of Vir ginia, that these atoms are dan gerous. I differ from the sen-, ator only in that I am a timid fellow. I am no hero. I like it here. Couldn't we, my masters, al low the gentleman from Virginia to do my observing of the big - bang and the radioactive tidal - wave, 100 feet high, engulfing ' (he warships that cost $450,000,- 000? That is, unless he also loses his nerve? He's a Brave Man The senator is a brave man. I know that for a fact. But if ever a proceedings was designed to give a fellow cold feet, it was the appearance of Vice Admiral W. H. P. Blandy before the naval affairs committee. What he wanted was permission to sink all those boals or at least risk them. (All right, admiral, ships). Admiral Blandy was a solid looking citizen in gold braid and blue broadcloth as he told how he figured he'd need 37,000 men to drop two bombs (one at a time) on five battleships, two aircraft carriers, four cruisen, 17 destroyers, eight submarines, 23 transports, one floating dry- DOUGHNUTS trick"" I , DUFF'S 1 . . . ,,-t, water to thc water tk.t i-n tie roii - . -v:.- ' doughnut"- roll u j ' Tro onc to pie"e dock and other vessels totaling 101. He had an assistant with a chart decorated by a full-color picture of an atom bomb explod ing. Horrible. Horrible. Senator Byrd stared at it fixedly. The 165 natives of Bikini have been removed to another island 105 miles away, the admiral tes tified. "And where, sir," asked Sen James O. Eastland of Mississip pi, "will the official observers be? That is no idle question. 1 am asking it for Sen. Byrd." Sen. Byrd stiffened to atten tion. "On a ship about 20 miles away," began Admiral Blandy.

All of the other trains be tween Oregon and San Fran cisco and Los Angeles are being likewise expedited.

The Oregonian will leave Porlland at 10 p.m., arriving in San Francisco at 7:20 p.m. with evening connections for the south. The "West Coast" will leave Portland at 10:15 p.m., instead of 7 p.m., arriving in Los Angeles at 8:45 a.m. Com ing north the West Coast will leave Los Angeles at 8:10 p.m., arriving in Portland at 7:40 a.m. The Oregonian will leave San Francisco at 6 p.m., arriving in Portland at 3:40 p.m. and the Klamath will leave San Fran cisco at 8:30 p.m., arriving in Portland at 9:25 p.m. state of bookworms. The av erage Oregonian borrowed only four books from public lib raries last year, according to State Librarian Eleanor Ste phens, and probably all of those were not read. In areas where county lib raries function, the average reader borrows more than five books, while in areas where only independent libraries op erate, the average is slightly more than two books per per son. More than half the popula tion in areas where there are no county libraries, is entirely dependent upon the state lib rary and book lending stores for reading material other than magazines, newspapers and cat alogues, Miss Stephens said. These facts, the librarian be- lieves, are good arguments for increasing the number and ca pacity of public libraries. Public libraries in Oregon ' have shown considerable growth in the last few years, she re ported. More than 1,570,698 volumes are now on public lib rary shelves. More than 326, 392 persons have library cards. Last year library circulation reached the 4,441,392 mark.. BROADWAY TIRE SERVICE Are Your Tires Ready For SUMMER DRIVING?

HERE'S HOW I DO IT t . . . Dismantle the room by removing knickknacks, pictures, draperies, cur tains, window shades, rugs, and smaller pieces of furniture. . . . Move the larger pieces of furniture to the center of the floor and cover with shcels. . . . Start at the ceiling and work down, cleaning walls, woodwork, and windows in that order. . . . Clean furniture, then the floors and nigs. . . . Clean blinds, wash curtains, clean pictures and small furniture. Be sure to cover every inch of exposed space with some sort of cleaner. . . . Clean mirrors and picture glass with window cleaner. Use soap and water on knickknacks wherever possible. . . . Reassemble the room and move to the next one. In no time the entire house is spick-and-span.
