TIRES OFF ARMY Portland, Ore., Sept. 0 (U.R) Sen. Guy Cordon, R., Ore. today was requested to help se cure removal of truck tires from the government vehicles now being offered for sale. Oregon truckmen wired Cor don asking for this so-the tires con be purchased separately in Oregon. The Oregon emergen cy truck tire committee told Cordon that they understood that about 3,500 of the 30,000 trucks will be sold in the north west. With six tires per vehicle plus one spare there would be a total of 24,500 tires available through this channel. Truckmen feel that the tires are more essential to transpor tation todny than the trucks. The vehicles have been declared surplus by the government. OBITUARY HENRY A. EGBERT Services for Henry A.

(U.R) Frank Sinatra cooled off a bit tonight and said maybe things weren't so bad in Hollywood now that the weather had changed. It was just the heat, he said, ; which made him want to quit the movies. And, as for his neighbors, well, you can't be neighborly when the thermometer is 104, he mused. "It's easy for a guy to get hot under the collar, literally and figuratively, when he's dressed in a hot suit of navy blues and the temperature Is 104 degrees and he's getting over a bad cold to boot," the big-eared crooner stated. Relaxing under a breeze which waited through Hollywood, cool ing both the weather and the Sinatra temperature, the voice admitted he'd been too hasty when he said "pictures stink and most of the people who are In them do too." "I think I might have spoken too broadly about quitting pic tures and about my feelings to-1 ward Hollywood, he said. Movie moguls sighed happily and feminie fens squealed raptu rously when the voice said sure he'd be making more movies. I m undur a seven-year con-, tract to RKO which still has six years to run. I also have one -t more commitment at M-G-M fol- j lowing 'Anchors Aweigh' and believe me, I Intend to live up to my contraclural obligations." Then, the voice put on his sailor suit and went about the business of pouring dulcet groans I before the cameras, with not a i word of complaint about his Hoi-: iywood or his neighbors, whom he had implied were "uppity," to say the least. , CARD OF THANKS We with to take this means of ex tending our heartfelt appreciation for the manv kindnesses extended to us during our and bereavement, and loss of our dear wife and mother, also for the benullful flowers.
