You know, anyway, that it's
got to be better in new year
Those Texas barbecues not always quite so rugged as they seem

JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPI)
-Backstairs at the Texas White
House:
Some of the rootin' tootin'
Texas barbecues are not quite
as rugged as they appear.
Take the barbecue given last
Sunday by President Johnson at
Stonewall, Tex., for West Ger
man Chancellor Ludwig Er-hard.
The bis slabs of beef which
dripped so succulently over
cnarcoal fires outside the school
gymnasium where the party
was held actually were pre
cooked at a commercial nlant
which specializes in this sort of
thine.

HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - There
Is one optimistic note In start
ing off 1964 with Guy Lombardo
at a party in Grand Central
Station, as CBS-TV did early
Wednesday: You know the new
year has to get better.
Before anyone accuses us of
being hard-hearted, let it be
said that there was a fine side-
aspect of this hour special, for
which the main concourse of the
New York Railroad Station was
turned into a ballroom: The
party was a charity affair bene
fitting the National Association
for Mental Health.
Basically, the hour consisted
of Lombardo and his band play
ing dance music; of Dorothy
Fiscal problems
plague states
By United Pratt International
Mounting fiscal problems
plague many of the nation s
states and Massachusetts is ex
pected to show it is no excep
tion at the opening of Its state
legislative session today.
The Bay State legislature ts
the first of 22 state lawmaking
bodies which have regular ses
sions scheduled this year. Most
of the remainder begin their
sessions within the next two
weeks.
Actually, a token meeting
launched the 19G4 session of the
Massachusetts legi s 1 a t u r e
Wednesday. But today, Gov.
Endicott Peabody was expected
to deal with state finances in
his message to the legislators.
Sixteen of the 22 states must
tackle the problem of state rev
enues in their regular sessions,
wilh racial and housing discrim
ination, reapportionment and
constitutional affairs confronting
the others.
At least 18 other slates have
Indicated the possibility of spe
cial legislative sessions tills
year. In this category, Illinois
is the front-runner with an ex
traordinary meeting scheduled
next Monday. Prairie State leg
islators will deal with imple
mentation of an at-large election
for state representatives, forced
by tho failure of a reapportion
ment commission to remap leg
islative districts.
Kentucky, Mississippi, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island and
South Dakota will begin regu
lar sessions next Tuesday, fol
lowed by Colorado, Michigan,
New York and West Virginia on
Wednesday. Arizona and Geor
gia open Jan. 13: Kansas and
South Carolina Jan. 14, and
Alaska Jan. 27.
Other states with regular ses
sions opening through next May
Include Delaware. New Jersey,
California, Hawaii, Maryland,
Wisconsin and Louisiana.
New Year's Day
swim taken
SALEM (UPI) - About 30
members of three skindlving
clubs took a New Year's Day
swim down the Willamette Riv
r in the rain Wednesday.
They jumped In at the Salem
Yacht Club and clambered out
three miles later at Wallace
Marine Park. The temperature
was a mild 57 degrees.
The New Year's swim has be
come an annual event by the
skindlving groups.
NO SALB
GOSPORT, England (UPD
John Lynes, a 23-year-old sail
or, has gone on a two-day hun
ger strike at the submarine
base here because British navy
officials turned down his appli-i

service, officers said today.

and of a crowd that was as
attractive as any group that
wears funny hats.
In addition, reporter Robert
Trout was on view on a large
screen above the station s tick
et booths as he described the
New Year's crowd in nearby
Times Square. These sequences
were the best of the program.
But unfortunately they frequent
ly seemed to be followed by
those consistently insipid hair
rinse commercials, which, by
the time the show was over,
had us in a state to reach avid
ly for double shots.
Viewers will be happy to
know that there was occasional
very occasional imagina
tion in the hour, such as Miss
Collins using a Grand Central
staircase as a prop for a song.
They will also be happy to
know that passenger tram ser
vice was continued throughout.
though one teeis instant sym
pathy for the unknowing Incom
ing traveler who may have ar
rived in the terminal half-looped
on New Year's Eve, seen Guy
Lombardo at work, and noticed
people dancing around the in
formation booth.
And now a few words about
Guy Lombardo and "tradition."
Somehow through the years, the
gentleman has become identified
with New Year's Eve and the
playing of "Auld Lang Syne" at
his old stand in New York's
Roosevelt Hotel. Mr. Lombardo
is probably a very nice fellow,
but one suspects that the "tra
dition" associated with him is,
like many traditions, more from
habit than from reason. As for
his dated music style, well, he
may be your idea of tradition,
Charlie, but not mine.
And this leads to a point about
the network programming in
such traditional seasons as the
recent one:
The networks take the easy
way out. They collapse into a
nice, ancient, comfortable, mid
dle-aged, fat-belly approach to
tradition. That may be in
fact, is all right for a good
part of the audience. But there
Is also a newer generation that
has its own particular view of
many traditions yet none of
the networks has met the sens
itive challenge of scheduling en
tertainment programs that con
sider the attitudes of this grow
ing, special audience.
JAIL 'INADEQUATE'
CORVALLIS (UPl)-The Ben
ton County grand Jury has
rapped the Corvallis Jail as be
ing "Inadequate" In a report
filed In the county clerk's of
fice. The Jury noted that the coun
ty facility is maintained well,
"but Is not adequate for the
size of the growing community."

broad-brimmed hats and boots,
said the meat was "about 65
per cent cooked at the plant"
and then quick-frozen. On the
morning of the barbecue, the
meat was trucked to the site of
the party and placed over the
charcoal.
'By the time we get the meat
warmed up, the other 35 per
cent of the cooking is done," a
cook said.
There was nothing pre-cooked
or frozen, however, about the
big spareribs barbecued on the
Johnson Ranch for about zoo
guests last week. The LBJ
Ranch spareribs were cooked
over wood fires and the slow
process took from early morn
ing until almost four o'clock in
the afternoon.
The brand on the President's
cattle Is "JO." In addition, his
registered Herefords carry se
rial numbers tattooed in their
ears, as well as on their horns.
When Johnson first set up his
herd, he wanted "J" (bar-jay-bar)
as his brand. It turned
out, however, that this brand
had been registered years be
fore by another cattleman.
Whereupon Johnson borrowed
the "JO" brand from an uncle.
Seldom has a president had
such words of praise for asso
ciates as those employed by
Johnson at last Sunday s bar
becue when he pulled out all
stops in talking about Secretary
of State Dean Rusk and White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger.
Of Rusk, the President said:
"Keen, analytical, patient, kind
courteous and courageous one
of the greatest men of our time
my strong right arm."
And he applied this accolade
to Salinger:
"One of the most trusted.
able and loyal people working
for the government. . .1 don t
know what I would have done
without him, day and night, for
the last month."
RED TAPE
RINGWOULD, England (UPI)
Een Ford, who retired from
the army 15 years ago after
serving for 40 years, said today
he has just received a belated
clasp to his long service and
good conduct medal.
"I'm not surprised at having
to wait 15 years tor the clasp,
Ford said. "I haven't got my
discharge book yet."
No New Year's
traffic deaths
noted in state
By United Pratt International
Oregon got through New
Year's Day without a traffic
death but the state looked back
today on its worst traffic toll
in history.
The Traffic Safety Division in
Salem reported 553 persons died
on public streets or highways
during 1963. This was 61 more
than the previous high in 1959
and was 68 more than met
death in 1962.
The last victim of 1963 was
Mary L. Newell, 43, Portland,
who was struck by a car late
Tuesday while crossing Barbur
Boulevard.
