RARE TOUCH OF MAGNETISM
10 Most Kissable Men
Picked by Kissable Ruth
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood U.R Ruth Roman, one of the world's most kissable
women, picked the world's 10 most kissable men. Only one
movie star made the list.
"A man needs more than good looks to bestow a thrilling, or
ven an adequate kiss," Miss Roman said. "He needs a special
type of magnetism which goes
beyond good looks and is ex
tremely rare."
A man with that magnetism,
Miss Roman added, is success
ful in other fields of endeavor
as well.
"The men I find 'most kiss
able' ace leaders in their fields,"
she said. "They also have a spe
cial attraction for the public.
People always recognize a cham
pion." -
. .
Number one on her list . is
vice president Alben W. Barkley
"He is the . romantic older
type," she said. ",He would de
liver a kiss with energy and
aplomb."
No. 2 Joe DiMaggio, star of
the New York Yankees.
"He has. an innate boyishness,"
Miss Roman sighed. "He'd prob
ably keep his eyes closed while
giving you a big bear hug."
No. 3 Playwright Tennessee
Williams.
"He probably has a slow,
tender and artistic delivery, with
his eyes closed,'! she said. "I
don't know personally, but any
one who wrote 'The Glass Men
agerie', must be good."
No. 4 Milton Berle, televi
sion comic and her co-star in
Warner Bros. "Always Leave
Them Laughing."
' "He's great if he'll settle down
to the job and stop cracking
Jokes," she said. "I kissed him
in the movie. Very, very good."
No. 5 Winston Churchill.
"He's the stern type, but he
might unbend long enough,
probably keeping his eyes open
a little," she said. "But you'd
have to get the cigar away from
him first."
No. 6 Charley Justice, Uni
versity of North Carolina foot
ball star
He's athletic but sweet," she
aid. "I think he would have a
very masculine delivery, prob
ably with his eyes closed."
No. 7 Violinist Yehudi Men
uhin. "He would do well to the
strains of Brahms."
No. 8 Kirk Douglas, movie
star.
"He has a good approach and
is very thorough," she said. "He
keeps his eyes open and looks
at you through long, romantic
lashes. I know, I kissed him in
'The Champion.' Woo, woo!"
No. 9 Entertainer Maurice
Chevalier.
"He's the suave, French, wick-
ed-gleam-in-the-eye type. But
he keeps his eyes definitely
closed."
No. 10 Franklin D. Roose
velt, Jr., congressman from New
York.
"He's probably an expert
baby-kisser," Miss Roman said,
"but I'll bet he does well with
the big girls too."
Engineer Gets Set
For Trek With Huskies
Fairbanks. Alaska, Oct. 11 U.R
Cecil A. Moore, a New Eng
land engineer, made final prep
arations today for a 5,000-mile
trek that will take him across
the wildest stretches of the
North American continent from
Alaska to Maine in four months.
Moore plans to start out on
his trek from Fairbanks to
Lewistown, Me., next Saturday.
He will be alone except for a
team of Siberian huskies.
Veteran sourdoughs said such
trip never has been under
taken before. Nevertheless,
Moore was unconcerned about
the possibility of mishaps.
"The risk is actually negligi
ble." he said. "I will be in touch
with civilization by two - way
radio and food will be dropped
to me by plane."
Douglas Happy;
14 Cracked Ribs
Yakima, Wash., Oct. 11 U.R
Supreme Court Justice William
O. Douglas today said he felt
much better now that he knows
he has 14 fractured ribs instead
of 13 as doctors originally be
lieved.
Commented the jurist, recov
ering in the hospital from inju
ries received when a horse fell
on him nine days ago:
I always have considered 13
my unlucky number."
Douglas received a message of
condolence from Harry E. Mock,
a patient in a hospital at Marion,
Ind. Mock said he had three bro
ken ribs and that Douglas' ex
perience must have been "hor
"When you have 14 broken
ribs," replied Douglas in a tele
gram to Mock, "a hiccup is a
crisis, a cough a disaster and a
sneeze is a calamity. And the
most unfriendly act in the world
is a pat on the back."
CREDITS ON AUTOS AT PEAK
People Buying on Time at
New High; Spur to Industry
By SAM DAWSON
. New York, Oct. 11 W) Buying on time is at a new high.
This great American institution plays its part in the automo
bile industry's continuing prosperity and in the return of the
home appliance industry to happy days. It's also reported on
the increase in areas where many customers are out on strike
and aren't, buying for cash.
The peak volume of install
ment credit during the summer
recovery also doubtless ties in
with other phases of the nation's
business and financial status just
before strikes halted the basic
industries of steel and coal.
Bank loans to businessmen are
increasing. Manufacturers sales
are up sharply, and department
store replenishing of stocks are
on the upgrade once more.
Industrial production has re
bounded from its July low. And
government agencies stress that
retail sales are holding up re
markably well in unit volume,
although off in dollar volume
because of lower prices.
Buying ' on time Increased
briskly this summer after fed
eral curbs on credit were re
moved. It jumped $282 million
during August to a new high of
$9.6 billion. This was $1.6 bil
lion higher than a year ago.
The Federal Reserve Board,
which used to set strict rules on
installment buying, reports that
buying cars on time gave the
total its biggest boost.
The people with the ready
cash, plus "extras," for cars were
taken care of by the auto in
dustry some time back. Auto
salesmen are now concentrating
on those with an income that
permits paying so much a month.
The board says credit against
autos total nearly $2.8 billion;
credits against refrigerators,
television sets, furniture and the
like, $2.5 billion; and installment
loans by financial institutions
rather than retailers stand at
nearly $4.4 billion.
Consumer credit has been the
whipping boy during much of
the postwar turmoil over infla
tion and deflation. Curbs on in
stallment buying were tightened
when financial authorities want
ed to discourage the public from
bidding up the price of scarce
articles.
EXPERIMENT WITH FISHING POLE
Edison Got Light Idea
From Night Under Stars
Encampment, Wyo. U.R) About 600 persons gathered at pic
turesque Battle Lake, high in the Sierra Madre Mountains above
Encampment, for a formal dedication of a bronze memorial to
Thomas Alva Edison. '
The colorful ceremony, sponsored by the State Historical Land
marks commission, was held on
the shore of the lake where in
1878 Edison is said to have con
ceived the idea for the incan
descent light.
The bronze plaque, about two
feet by three feet and imbedded
in the face of a concrete monu
ment, was presented to the state
by Warren Richardson, chair
man of the landmarks commis
sion. '
Edison's idea for the incan
descent light is said to have
Tie from experiments with
fiber of his bamboo fishing pole.
According to the story, Edison
was a member of a party of sci
entists known as the Henry
Draper expedition, which came
to Rawlins to make scientific
observations of a total eclipse
of the sun, July 28, 1878. At the
conclusion of the scientific ob
servations, they went on a
hunting and fishing trip to Bat
tle lake. .
After the-party had been en
camped for . three days, one
morning at breakfast Edison was
asked by Prof. Barton, "Well,
Tom,1 how -did you rest last
night?" -
"Well," Edison answered. "I
wasn't thinking about resting. I
lay and looked up at the beau
tiful stars and clear skylight
and I invented an incandescent
electric light."
Celebrates 107th Birthday
St. Leonards-on-Sea, England,
Oct. 1 1 WP) S pry and hearty,
Mrs. Matilda Coppin celebrated
her ,107th birthday today. In
Stroud,. Kent, her brother,
Charles Evans, 94, said he would
drop around to his local saloon
tonight to drink a toast to her
health.
Later, when the country moved
over from a sellers' to a buyers'
market, businessmen complained
that tight credit restrictions were
keeping them from moving goods
on their store floors, and the
curbs were relaxed.
When the Congress feared the
country was in for a sharp re
cession, it allowed curbs to lapse,
to encourage the public to buy
again, even if it didn't have all
the cash in pocket.
Apparently, it has worked.
Home appliance plants that
had closed for lack of orders
have reopened and report sales
booming.
Thomas B. McCabe, chairman
of the Federal Reserve Board,
points out;
"Installment credit is the vol
atile and dynamic element in
consumer financing. It is sub
ject to wide fluctuations and ex
erts a persuasive effect on con
sumer demand and prices."
And he adds the moral, as the
board sees it: "When economic
recession sets in, accumulated
credit remains to be paid off in
the period of contraction."
That is the real danger in buy
ing on time what might happen
to all business if enough people
can't keep up their payments,
or are so debt-ridden they can't
buy anything else from the
stores.
Installment credit has risen
since the end of the war from
$2 billion to $9.6 billion. In 1939
it was $4.4 billion.
Although it is now more than
double prewar, economists say
the present total is not at all
dangerously high in a land where
the national income and indus
trial production is as great as
in ours.

Dallas, Tex., Oct. II (U. A Camp Hood soldier, Arthur Rudkin
kept dozens of onlookers spellbound Sunday night as he un
concernedly pranced back and forth on a six-inch ledge outside
a second-story window of a downtown hotel.

going to bed. A few minutes
later a hotel porter saw Rudkin
on the ledge.
Dozens of people outside arid
Inside the hotel begged him not
to Jump. He walked back and
forth without concern.

inside the hotel grabbed at Rud
kin and he either fell 6r jumped
from the ledge. He grabbed a
small pipe support on a sien.
but it snapped. His fall was
further broken by .wires which
held a sign advertising the hotel
in place.
At Parkland hospital, doctors
said he was uninjured by the
30-foot fall.
Besides the excitement he
created, Rudkin had only dis
turbance of the peace charges
against him to show for his 15
minutes on the ledge.
