(AP Wirephoto) Robert Young Finds Driver Of Cab in N. Y. Is Namesake By HARMAN W. NICHOLS (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Mar. 13 HI.RI The man and his pretty wife, Betty, were standing there in the rain waiting for a cab in front of the Cort theater in New York. One finally came along and they hopped in and said: "Penn itation." On the way man and wife gave with small chat about "As You Like It." "Plenty of time no hurry," the man told the driver. In a New York cab, you not only get a ride but right there by the meter you have the pic ture, the number, and the name of the cab driver. Robert Young and pretty Bet ty Jerked forward a little. Both the actor-radio star and his wife noticed it at the same time. The name of the hackman was Rob ert Young. Bob, the actor, told me when I talked with him here that no body .would believe it. "It would sound too much like publicity gag," he said. So he brought along the cvi dence. An autograph from the other Robert Young, plus a note in which the cabbie promised to write and exchange photographs. "We almost missed our train to Washington," the actor mem ber of the team said. "This fel low wanted to drop by the Stork club for pictures. I had to turn It down because T wasn't shaved. I think I was more thrilled than he was." - Robert Young, the star, is that way. In fact, he Is right down to earth. A normal worry wart, to boot. .'When I talked to him he was fussing about the problems of a man who sometimes has to transcribe a show ahead of time, like Bob does for NBC in the program called "Father Knows Best." ,;The show is plattered at least a month ahead of time while the tar is on the road trying to tell young drivers to lake it easy, nnd not act like their dads, in connection with the highway afety committee. , One of the shows has Young the father with a cold. .."Actually," he said, "I didn't have one. But they put my voice through a filler and marie me sound like I had one. It goes on and on in the script. Me with a nasal. The copy was written against time so I could get away. We cut the record and said a prayer and away 1 went." What Is worrying Bob Young this minute is that the program will be on the air before he gets back to appear in person. That ounds rather trivial to us folks who know nothing about doing things In advance and a hurry. "Look what has happened to other stars," he complained. "One of them transcribed a pro gram a year or so back in which lie had a guest star. The day before the platter was to be played, the guest died. The star had to go on ahead of the trans cription and apologize." Well, that sort of thing could happen to Bob Young. As I left him he was stuffing pills down his neck like crazy and sneezing' U. S. Foreign Policy Tangles With Farm Support Programs By VINCENT J. BURKE Washington, Mar. 13 U.R) The government's foreign policy and its farm support programs are starting to work at cross purposes. The conflict threatens to get worse. The Truman adminis tration doesn't yet know what, if anything, can be done about it. It's part of Uncle Sam's multi billion dollar foreign trade neaa ache. The state department has recommended that the White House create a special inter agency committee to reconcile foreign and domestic economc policy, including farm supports. On the farm front the dilem ma involves such matters a! farm surpluses, the price of pota toes and butter, the taxes you pay for foreign aid programs, farm prosperity, and a lot of farm belt votes. One agriculture official, who declined to be quoted by name, put it this way: "How are we going to recon cile a farm support program which will hold U. S. farm prices above world market prices with a foreign policy aimed at per mitting other countries to sell commodities in this country to earn dollars?" Uncle Sam does not want to keep on indefinitely "giving away" each year billions of dol lars worth of industrial equip ment, manufactures, wheat, cot ton and tobacco to foreign coun tries under foreign aid programs. Nor does he want this coun try's big foreign export market to collapse. That could touch off a depression. But the only way foreign countries can earn more dollars with which to buy U. S. goods is to sell more of their own goods in the United States. To some persons it doesn't make sense for Uncle Sam to al low foreign farm products to come into the United States when the agriculture department is buying up American-produced surpluses of these same products to support prices. On the other hand, if the United Stales bars foreign farm products from its markets, it strikes a blow at those countries' chances of earning dollars of their own to buy this country's exportable surpluses of wheat, cotton, tobacco and non-farm products. Oregon Mass Flight Cited for Safety Proof Portland, March 13, (U.R) J R. Roberts, Redmond, member of the Oregon Aeronautics board, .declared here today that the mass flight of Oregon planes to Havana, Cuba, and back pro vided proof that sky lanes are even safer than highways. A total of 175 planes took part in the trans-continent flight and the hop from Florida to Cuba. Passengers and pilots numbered 206. There was only one minor accident. In Cuba, Robert Butler, Unit ed States ambassador to Cuba, was host to the Oregon air tour ists. One of the stops on the over-water flight to Cuba was palm fringed Key West, where 80 of the Oregon planes land- ded . Roberts said the air tourists took every opportunity on their long trip to "plug" Oregon and its attractions, including the Rose festival the Pendleton Round up and the Bend Mirror Pond Pageant.

TOUPEE TROUBLE Actor Solves Worry by Getting It Off of Mind BY BOB THOMAS Hollywood, March 13 (IF) For sale: Three or four toupees, used but in good condition. The seller is Dean Jaggcr, who has carved a whole new career for himself by tossing away his hairpiece. "It s wonderful not to wear the darned thing anymore," said the actor. It was a lot of trou ble to glue on and my head got hot underneath it. "There was always the worry about whether It was on straight. I was always asking my wife does it look all right?' Jaggcr's emancpalion from the loupee (or rug, as it Is called in Hollywood) came through his role in "12 o'clock High." He played the "retread" desk offi cer in the air force. One of the studio stipulations that he had to do the part without his scalp doily. His performance brought a new kind of glamor to the bald head. He won himself an acade my nomination and is the lead ing contender to snag the Oscar. He is currently combing film offers out of his h . . . . oops, I guess I used the wrong expres sion there. 'I have never been vain nbout wearing the toupee, he told me. "But it has been necessary in my profession. Unfortunately, some people think you arc an old fogey if you don't have a full head of hair." The towering ex-basketballer now looks much younger thnn his 46 years. "But I was never Ihe romantic type," he claimed. Lvcn when I was 20 nnd try ng to play a 23-year-old in stock, I was laughed at. People thought I was much older." Although he abandoned his toupee, Jaggcr said he might re turn to them if future screen roles required It. But would the public accept him with hnir now that he has made such a hairless lilt? "I hope so. I hope the public will realize that the toupee is just a part of an actor's vcos- tumc. Jagger said the most amusing comment he heard about the "12 O'clock High" role came second-hand from a lady who professes to know him very well. "Didn't they do a great make up job?" she said to a friend. "Of course Dean has a beauti ful head of hair." "Obviously she couldn't have known me too well," commented the actor, smiling and rubbing his beautiful head of skin. Knowland Blasts Russian 'Blackmail' Washington, March 13, (U.R1- Sen. William F.
