Lapham May Set Appointment to State Department Assistant's Job Claimed Scheduled Washington, Apr. 8 (U.PJ Roger D. Lapham, former repub lican mayor of San Francisco who advocated U. S. recognition of communist China last fall, may be brought into the state department, informed quarters indicated Friday. Lapham, one-time ECA chief in China, was in favor of U. S. recognition of the reds as late as last December. He since has said the move is out of the ques tion now because of the com munists' mistreatment of U. S. officials. Besn Considered Sources close to the adminis tration said that Lapham "has been thought of as one republi can" who might receive a de partment appointment in con nection with present efforts to bolster the bipartisan approach to foreign policy. Lapham urged in a talk last September that the United States get ready to recognize the Chin ese communist regime wheth er we like it or not." At that time the red forces had not com pletely overrun the Chinese mainland. Claimed Slated Newsweek magazine has re ported that Lapham was slated to become assistant secretary of state in charge of the president's point four program of aid tor underdeveloped areas. Adminis tration sources said, however, that "no specific assignment for him has been discussed. Tney said the idea of "bringing in" Lapham had received only pre liminary consideration, ana inai he has not been approached. DRIVE IN theatre Tonite-Mon. Tues.

Wtih the advent of somewhat eratic warmer weather, many of the girls of Medford senior high school have been exchanging winter sweaters and wool skirts for cotton blouses, skirts and dresses. Gloria Dunagan and Carol Hazelton have red seer sucker skirts just alike, which thev made in sewing class. Frances Zimbleman and Nan cy Pierce have dresses styled alike but in different colors, as do Ann Rentchler and Joyce Bearden. On a bright day one can see polka dots, plaids, stripes and solid colors walking by during any five minutes in the cateiena or between classes in the halls. Some of the new skirts can hardly be classified as to design, but resemble a modern painting which doesn't resemble anything in particular and everything in general. Some of the more cor servative girls can still be seen in sweaters and skirts, but it won't belong until all will be wearing the gay cottons.

"Cutie" met a horrible fate at the hand of a thoughtless small boy or a hungry dog on Good Friday. The rabbit, the most publi cized three legged bunny in the world, was scheduled to deliver a batch of little . She was the net of John Webster and his kids iri nearby Arlington, Va. "Cutie Cottontail" was named by the Webster's small boys, iviarK. almost tour and David, al most three. She will be mourned by almost everybody in the neighborhood, including the watchman of the school near the Webster home, who was her friend and guardian during the day. The rabbit came to live with the lawyer and his family many months ago. John, who had his briefcase loaded and was ready to leave for Washington one morning looked out the window and saw the little brown bunny looking at him half starved. He stopped everything, fed the rabbit and shooed him off into the woods. Wouldn't Stay Shooed The little rodent wouldn't stay shooed. She came for more and got it. The kids in the neighborhood saved their pen nies and bought carrots. "Cutie," all by herself, discovered the tasty clover of the ebster lawn. Johnny took out hammer and saw and built the pet a house on the outside. But his kids took over after that. They bought the bunny inside. Then it happened. One day, "Cutie" scratched on the back door and Mrs. Webster opened the door. The bunny was puck ered up in the face and obvious ly badly hurt. Mr. W. bundled her and took her to Dr. R. R. Whitter's animal hospital in Alexandria where a hind leg was amputated. "Cutie" was badly spoiled after that and attained many firsts among the rabbit family. Fancies Bananas She doubtless was the first rabbit ever to take a fancy to bananas. The watchman at the school saw to that. He gave her a banana out of his lunch box every day. The kids took a shine to the little one too and would CMS JL with MARIE MONTEZ PLUS ifHK)MpAltlZOWA 1IIIL Jlir IIJ'M'H yYouNO nJ sneak her left-overs from their sandwiches. Most rabbits don't like sandwiches, but "Cutie" did. She'd nibble the meat first and save the bread for the sec ond course. If there was carrot around, she would save it for dessert. The bunny would have no part if the bed the youngsters fixed up for her in the house, and al ways slept under the bed. Recently, according to Johnny, the rabbit had been feeling the call of the wild. She would dis appear into the woods and stay out all night like a rabbit. Get ting ready to take care of a family. Day before yesterday, Johnny came home a little late and ask ed about the house pet. No bunny. Found By Fence The next morning Webster be gan a search, with his own two tearful youngsters and 35 others in the neighborhood at his heels. They found her by a fence. The little bell the kids had put around her neck was still there. The little ones that would have been born about today won't ever be. It won't be a happy Easter at the Websters. knees in some church "After all," she said, "Easter is a religious observance. It's a sacred day. There's probably nothing sacrilegious about a new $65 hat but that shouldn't be the biggest thing about the whole day. "The biggest thing should be what we do and say and think and pray." And while the rest of the glamour gals were giving out scoops about their latest Easter bonnet, Miss Storm was making news herself by announcing she won't have one. "No new outfit," she said. "The dress-up tradition is all right, in a way, but many people push it too far. Doesn't Symbolise "Besides, I don't get any con nection between Christ rising from the dead and everybody getting a ncvJ hat. It doesn't symbolize that to me. Any other time . . . gosh yes! But not on Easter." Miss Storm, who is married to insurance executive Lee Bon nell, said she's going to spend most of her Easter in church with her husband and her three small sons. Philip 7, Peter 4, and Paul 214. She won't have time to walk in any Easter parade, either. About that hour on Sunday morning she'll be busy teaching Sunday school to her regular class of 14 junior high school kids. Missing the Point "I think a lot of people are missing the point about Easter," Miss Storm added. "And I think it's too bad." She said she feels the same about the other sacred holidays. "Christmas and Thanksgiving and the rest," she explained. "They're all too terribly com mercialized. On Christmas peo ple worry too much about send ing gifts that are as nice as the ones they get, instead of cele brating the birth of the Lord." The green-eyed beauty said she hopes her sentiments don't make her sound "too dull." "We have fun at home," she added. "The boys have Easter baskets and egg hunts and we tell them about the rabbit. They're not old enough to un derstand the significance of the day. "But grown-ups are. And I think they're missing a lot by fussing over new bonnets and forgetting about the important things." DOG GOES FOR CREAM Valdosta, Ga. (U.R) Shep, T. N. Holcombe's shepherd dog, may live a dog's life. But It's a wonderful one. Shep goes to Bob Belcher's drug store several times a week. His favorite del icacy, ice cream, is set before him. At the end of the week, Holcombe drops in and pays up. Roquefort cheese has been manufactured in southeastern France for at least two centuries.
