BANDLEADER: 'MENACE OF PACIFIC
Spade Cooley Finds
Troubles in Owning Yacht
Hollywood, Oct. 6 W) Western star Spade Cooley pulled a fast
one on the other Hollywood cowboys when he went out and
bought himself a shiny, new yacht. But as far as the coast guard's
concerned he should have stuck to his horse.
The bandleader, who admitted he wouldn't know a marlin-
spike from a doorstop, claimed
his luxurious 86-foot yawl maae
him the only cowboy ever to go
to sea.
The coast guard had a better
title for him: the "menace of the
Pacific." They wish he'd go
someplace else.
In the six weeks Cooley has
been a yachtsman he has:
Crashed Into the multi-million
dollar hyperion outfall sewer
system.
Fallen out of his dory, losing a
wristwatch and an expensive
camera.
Bashed in the side of his boat
Sunk It In Santa Monica har
bor. Hooked the sails on upside-down.
Scared the coast guard half to
death by getting lost at sea and
Ignoring their rescue signals.
Been run over by his own
yacht.
"But I'm a-glttln' the hang of
it- now," drawled the fiddle
playing sea dog. "I bought me
some books on navigation."
He said he was driving near
the harbor one day when all of
a sudden he "got a hankerin" "
to own a yacht. And he found
a bargain $16,000 reduced to
$8,000.
Since then, what with repairs
and one thing and another, Cool
ey's shoveled out another five
grand. And the coast guard'll
give you odds this isn't the end.
"Heck, this sailing's easy,"
Cooley said. "The man showed
me where the wheel was and
That's all
what button to push
I needed."
What made the other yachts
men so nervous was that Cooley
insisted on driving the darn
thing around the ocean by him
self. "I don't need a crew," he said.
"My band finishes up at the
Santa Monica pier on Saturday
nights and I Just hop into the
boat."
He was alone in the fog when
he plowed into the sewer sys
tem. But one of his musicians
was behind the wheel when the
yacht ran over him.
I was out In the dory taking
pictures and I drifted about 500
yards," Cooley explained. "The
guys tried to pick me up but
they couldn't stop the boat. They
ran right through the dory."
Another night he got lost com
ing home from Catallna Island
and sailed 20 hours before he
found Santa Monica.
"Some boat kept signalling
ine," Cooley shrugged. "But
all I could see was black spots.
I didn't know if they were land
or more water. So I just shut
my eyes and went through. It
was water, thank gosh."
Later, a harried coast guards
men told him he was signaling
the "all clear" to come on in.
"How'd I know what all that
blinking was?" Cooley said.

Wounded Bear
Chases Hunter
La Grande. Oct. 6 Wi A
hunter's flight from a wounded
bear and a pair of other bruin
skirmishes topped the stories
told by deer season nimrods
here today.
Marion Spencer, La Grande,
brought down a 200-pound black
bear with his .30-.40 rifle north
of Mount Emily Saturday. He
looked away for a moment, then
started walking toward the fall
en bear, 100 yards away.
Only the bear, by the time
he looked up, wasn't fallen; it
was bounding toward him.
Spencer took to his heels,
glanced over his shoulder and
discovered he was running a los
ing race. So he wheeled, took
aim and with the bear an esti
mated 30 feet away, fired again.
That ended it.
Guy Spence didn't try to top
that one, but told of bagging a
300-pound black bear from 200
yards with a .30- 30. The ani
mal, wounded, rolled down be
hind a log and when Spence
arrived at the scene his dog was
trying to battle the wounded
bear. Spence shot it again, and
the bear got to its feet. A third
shot between the eyes killed it.
Spence brought it out from
Howard meadows by pack horse
after blindfolding his bucking,
balking horse.
Murray Durham had no trou
ble making a kill from 150
yards, bagging a 90-pound year
ling brown bear. But it took him
five hours to pack it out three
miles to the road in rough coun
try. YA Cancels Order
Changes in Study
Washington, Oct. 6 MP) The
veterans administration can
celled today its controversial or
der restricting the rights of vet
erans to change courses of study
under the GI bill.
Veterans Administrator Carl

of regulations permitting many
veterans to change courses and
schools, or to take post graduate
study, or to enroll in schools es
tablished since September, 1944,

tification.
The older order, now abol
ished, required "justification" in
such cases.
The new regulations continue

something you see every day.
mm
Car owners in three different price
classes all happy about the same
thing.
One of them drives a new Buick
Special, which you see poking forth
its new, bold-look forefront at the left
of our picture.
Another will tell you there's nothing
like the Super's "happy medium" of
size nnd comfort, power and easy
handling, style and standing.
And if you're looking for prestige,
where is your money going to buy so
much as in that handsome 18-footcr,
the Roadmaster, with its 150-hp
performance and really royal bear
ing?
But all these good folks get together
on this:
There's no ride quite so soft and
cushiony as the Buick ride, whatever
the size and series. There's no power
quite so satisfyingly lively as Buick's
high-compression, high-pressure
Fireball power.
Above all, there's no "buy" like a
Buick no car that gives you such a
rich dollar's worth of smartness,
handling, comfort and liveliness for
every dollar you pay.
So why not look the whole line over?
Your Buick dealer has these grand
travel-mates in a baker's dozen of
different body types and sizes. Start
your shopping in his showroom and
you'll find that even on delivery he
has exactly what you want.
