Fresno, Calif., Aug. 3 (U.R) Touched by the plight of a Job

Eller, 28, and Ly Elyse Beck
man, 27, a dentist from Ober

The couple now have only
$805 of $1,100 needed by Aug.

beauty to the states.
Last week, Eller, discharged
In July as an "arrested" tuber
culosis case, offered "either of
my blue eyes," to anyone who
would donate the money for
Ly's travelling expenses and im
migration bond.
"No, no," "the brown-eyed
fraulein said when told of El
ler's strange offer , . , "take both
my eyes instead."
The citizens' committee, de
termined Eller would not have
to sell his eyes, set Aug. 4 as the
deadline for the $1,100 to be
wired to Ly. Miss Eeckmann's
last plane reservation expires

Final Lecture
By Bohus Benes
Bohus Benes, visiting profes
sor of political science at Wil
lamette university this summer,
will give the third of his series
of three evening lectures in Wal
ler hall Wednesday evening at
8 p.m.
As the basis for the three
lectures Mr. Benes has drawn
upon his personal experiences
in the consular, service in Czech
oslovakia, and upon his close
relationship with his late uncle,
the former president of Czech
oslovakia, Doctor Edward Benes.
The first two lecture covered
the present state of international
relationships, recalling Czech
oslovakia's friendship and co
operation with France, England
and the Soviet Union during the
past 25 years. Professor Benes
dramatically described the fail
ure of the French, English and
Russian leaders to impress the
Czechoslovak people with their
policy and leadership.
The final lecture of the series
will present a picture of the
United States and the American
people in their international re
lations. In this Mr. Benes pro
poses to discuss some of the
shortcomings of the American
policy and also will present per
tinent facts on which he bases
his belief that the 20th century
depends on the leadership of
America. Mr. Benes has stated
that while the French, English
and Russian leaders have failed
to grow into great leaders of a
modern world, there is evidence
that the American people have
matured enough to give human
ity the leadership it needs at
this crucial moment in history
As a summary of the three
lectures, Mr. Benes will venture
his opinion about the present
world situation, and the man
date that the American people
take world leadership in this
time of crises. The lectures are
open to the public and those in
attendance will have an oppor
tunity to participate in the ques
tion program at the close of the
lecture.
Gifford, blind and aging, set
up an office and went into the
baby-naming business because
he believes there are too many
people with odd names. He
uses science and common sense
he said.
For 25 cents, Gifford offers
parents a name for their baby.
If they accept his suggestion, he
said, he expects them to send
him 75 more cents.
"That's a pretty inexpensive
way to assure a youngster a
good name," he said.
He said he has been analyz
ing people and their problems
all his life. He describes himself
as a "humanologist."
"A person with an off-sounding
name often gets off on the
wrong foot, he said. "Some first
names don't fit the last names
Take Oswald and Lemuel. I've
met dozens of men with those
names and they don't pair with
any surname, not even Smith.'
He said off-spelling of com
mon names were impractical, al
so names used for either boy or
girl, such as Francis and Fran
ces.
"If everyone had a name as
well chosen as the movie stars,
I wouldn't be in business," he
said.
As a general rule, he explain
ed, short first names go best
with long names, and vice ver
sa. He detests the word "Jun
ior."
"A good name helps your per
sonality," said Gifford.
Gifford's own name?
He insists that the "H" is an
initial only. Under pressure, he
admitted that his first name is
"Romain."
"Horrible sounding, isn't it
he said. "But I'm stuck with it
fine, but shouldn't we wait un
til Ly gets here?"
The ex-G.I. hasn't seen her
since being flown to the states
in an ambulance plane last year.

Right to Sing
San Francisco, Aug. 3 (U.R)
Norwegian soprano Kirstcn
Flagstad finally held permission
today to sing on the San Fran
cisco opera house stage.
The opera association, which
had threatened to call off its
season unless she was permitted
to sing, rushed plans for the
fall program.
The opera house board of
trustees voted 6 to 5 last night
to lift its ban against the Wag
nerian singer. On two previous
occasions, the trustees had voted
10 to 0 and 6 to 4 against her.
Acting mayor George J,
Christopher complimented the
trustees for their "manifestation
of fair play, justice and due
regard for the reputation of
San Francisco.
The ban was imposed after
county councils of the American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars protested against letting
Mme. Flagstad appear.
The veterans charged that
Mme. Flagstad's loyalty to de
mocracy was open to doubt be
cause she chose to fly to Norway
to join her husband, a member
of the collaborationist Quisling
party, during the war.
