Laugh at Yourself, Advises
e Comedian for Fun Recipe
By JOHN ROSENBURG
New York, Feb. 14 (U.R) Myron ("the Magnificent") Cohen lived
five years ago in obscurity as a silk salesman. Now he earns $2,
500 a week as a comedian because he has learned that people
would rather laugh at themselves than anyone.
Take the story he tells about the newly-rich business man who,
with his wife, Is invited to a so-1?
cial dinner. The dinner table
discussion turns to classical mu
sic. Someone mentions Mozart.
"Oh, yes, Mozart," says the
wife proudly. "Such a handsome
man. I saw him on the five
o'clock bus that goes to the
beach."
On the' way home; the angry,
embarrassed husband, scolds his
wife:
"You and your big mouthl
What a dumbell! Every
body knows the five o'clock bus
doesn't go to the beach!"
"There," Cohen said, "is an
example of human- nature
someone pretending, to make a
social impression, that he P.nows
more than he really does. The
'name-dropper' is another good
example."
Cohen-said "everyone is guil
ty of private pretension."
"There's nothing malicious
about it," he siad, "it's just a
game. And when you kid people
about these pretensions, they
love it."
Cohen's entire repertoire Is
based "on the human frailities."
Cohen was a silk salesman for
30 years. He used a joke, rather
than a sample, as his "pitch."

nations were represented
a m o n g the nazl forced labor
groups. Separation from his
family came when the local DP
camp was finished and he was
sent to Frankfurt to help with
other U. S. buildings.
In June, 1949 came the anni
versary of the Russian occupa
tion, which in 1949 brought
good news, as the family had re
ceived news that they were to
be sent to America. They left
Esslinger on Sept. 14, after
three months of processing, and
stayed two months at staging
centers, and then embarked
from Bremerhaven for Amer
ica. They came from New York to
Portland by train, and then to
Salem, where they spent some
time with former Latvian neigh
bors. In Latvia the Grislis fam
ily had their own farm of about
35 hectors, (100 acres). They
raised mostly wheat, had a dairy
herd of 20 cows and .owned
horses, sheep, pigs, turkeys and
chickens. The Russians took all
this.
The family has lived on a
farm near Perrydale since late
October and the youngsters at
tended school there. Dagmarra
has her high school diploma and
through the interest of one of
her teachers, has a scholarship
to Oregon College of Educa
tion.
To the Grislis family, Amer
ica is a wonderful place to live.
"When I realized that the
quickest way to a buyer's heart
was with a story about some of
his personal weaknesses, I
worked hard to perfect my ap
proach," he said.
"I guess I finally became
more of a comic than a silk
salesman. Everyone urged me
to go into show business. I
thought they were kidding me."
Five years ago, at a company
dinner at Leon and Eddie's a
Swing Street cafe, his friends
urged him to take the micro
phone, he said.
"The way I was received
made me decide to give it a
whirl professionally," he said.
He's back at Leon and Eddie's
now, after appearing in every
major city in the nation at an
average salary of $2,500 a week
For one appearance in London
last summer, he received $5,000.
And all he does is tell stories
about "mamma, poppa and the
kids."

Rescue Party Takes Two Days
To Get 2 9 Miles to Survivors
(Editor's Note: Lieut'. Melvin R. Brown, 28, of Tennessee,
Kan., was the leader of the ground party which last week
helped to rescue survivors of a Dakota search plane which
crashed in a 7,300-foot mountain top near Whitehor.se, Yukon.
The ground party was transported in winter-track vehicles
known as weasels. Here he tells his story.
By LIEUT. MELVIN BROWN,
U. 8. Army 14th Retlmenta Combat Tram
A Told to Oraham Trotter. Canadian Pre&a Staff Writer
Whitehorse, Yukon, Feb. 1 (CP) "We started out from Pon
lake, 15 miles from the mountain, at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday. It
was 3 p.m. the next Saturday when we got back.
'One way It was za'i miles.
'nave Hume, our native guide, and I, figured we walked
20 of those miles on the way in,;
walking ahead of the weasels
to find paths through timber,
and testing dangerously thin
river ice.
"I was never colder in my life.
My nose was frostbitten and my
feet may have got a nip too
they don't feel so good now.
They tell me it was 60 below ze
ro when we finally reached the
survivors on the mountain peak
Friday afternoon.
"I hardly slept a wink the
whole time.
"There were 15 of us with the
four weasels at the start. We
went 11 miles up the Aishihik
road before setting up a base
camp.
"We roped all our equipment
on the outside of the four weasel-:
before striking out again at
8 p.m. The party was made up
of Canadians and Americans.
"The guide and I walked
ahead with flashlights to find a
way through.
"We found a trail down a 150
foot slope that would take us to
the river bed.
"When we did get onto the
river bed, the guide fell through
thin ice into four feet of freez
ing water.
"At 7 a.m. we took off. We
took a zig-zagging course up the
river which wound in and out.
Going up a bank the radio
equipped weasel lost a track.
"It was 11 a.m. We were out
of gasoline. All our equipment
and supplies had been lost.
Scraping branches tore it off
the weasels as we brushed
through trees.
"Before leaving the radio wea
sel with five men, we asked a
plane to drop tents, stoves, gas
oline and rations.
"Now there were 11 men and
all the equipment in one wea
sel. e e
"We started climbing the
mountain at 7 a.m. Thursday.
The trees were so thick and the
trails so steep we decided to
camp for the night. .
"Starting out again at 6:45
a:m: Friday we reached an ap
proach that was very steep and
had lots of rocks and dead trees.
There was no other way up. We
spent two hours going through
that last 50 feet of timber. We
were about 5,500 feet up the
mountain.
"We got on snow that was
crusted with ice. There was al-
