Around Hollywpod By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) The name of John Barrymore to most people means a great actor but to some it recalls his prowess with a' bottle and that legend often haunts his son. . - John 'Barry more Jr., to day decided to' shake free from that leg end. He wants the world to know he definitely is a teeto taler. The newest edition to the .Barrymore acting clan is tired of reading when he gets a traf fic ticket that he was under the influence. ' 1 , Aline Mosby i Oregon Truckers May iPay California Fee Portland U.R) The Oregon Journal said today that all ; trucks from Oregon entering : California will have to pay that ; state's high license fees. - It said a ruling was pending ; from the California attorney . general which will outlaw . reci . procity agreements on truck li censing between California, Ore gon and other western states.

Concrete Being Poured At Courthouse Annex Pouring concrete for the first floor of the new courthouse an nex began on Friday after work was held up due to .freezing weather, according to an of ficial of the H. G. Carl Construc tion company, Salem, general contractor on the job. About two-thirds of the floor wili be poured by 'today's end, he -said. Concrete slab floor wok m will commence upward, story "by story, weather permit ting. The original plan to pour from the top downward has been changed, he added. Barring unforeseen bottle . necks, the firm will be done with work on the building by late summer, he said. They were supposed to have the job ' com pleted by March, but steel short ages and freezing weather have delayed the operation. f "What plagues 'me plagued my father," the 22-year-old ac tor said. "What people should remember is what he contrib uted to the theater. Why do some people remember only the unpleasant t h i n g s? He was a great man, and I'm proud of him. i "Yes, I seldom , meet ' a guy who doesn't think I don't take a drink. When I'm introduced to someone in a restaurant they say, 'Come on, Johnny, let's have a drink.' -v- 7 ,-;' "I don't drink," he said earnestly. "I can't. I get sick. Not that I'm a hypocrite. I tried it. I took my first drink at 16. It made me deathly ill. Since then I've been a teetotaler." John sat in Beverly .Hills apartment, furnished with early American antiques. His pretty, vivacious wife, aitress Cara Wil liams, recently cancelled a divorce suit, and .today they held hands and smiled at each other as Barrymore spoke eag erly of his desire to shed any more connections wth alcohol. Young John insisted his ab stinence has nothing to do with the elder John's social life. "My father drank, but he drank with style," the tall, dark-haired actor said. "He was witty. If a man can drink that way, let him do it. But if you can't drink gracefully- and I can't it's silly to try it." Red-haired Cara added as she served me a glass of milk, "oft en you'll read nasty things about people in 'show business, but they never . fight it. They are afraid to. We're not." Like Mendes-France, young Barrymore is a milk , drinker. At parties he occasionally switches to buttermilk. One rea son why some people think he drinks, she went on, is that he is naturally "lively and exu berant," without benefit of mar tinis. "Some people don't have vit ality unless they are drinking. So if you're lively, they mistake it for other things," he said. "With me it's nothing more than a lust for life. : ; ; ""I don't want to drink. I fig ure if you go through life so ber, you get much more out of it than if you go ! through the other way." " , Fortunately, the mistaken im pression has not hampered his acting career. Since entering the profession five years ago, John has to fight for a toe-hold only "because when you're an actor's son, they' say, he was a great actor but what can you do? i John and Cara leave, .this month: for a" long-delayed op portunity, in his acting career a TV series, "Lanny Budd," to be filmed in Europe. ; Justice Blessed af Annual Gathering Washington (U.R) Chief Jus tice Earl Warren and scores of other jurists, lawmakers and government officials attended Mass at St. Matthews' Cathedral yesterday for the blessing of -the administration of justice. The annual ceremony, known as the Red Mass, was celebrated by the Most ' Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle, archbishop of , Wash ington. A sermon was delivered by the most . Rev. Lawrence J. Shehan, bishop" of Bridgeport, Conn. ... ' ., " Shehan told the group that justice "safeguards liberty. When justice fails, freedom is imperiled." He said the problems facing . the nation must be met by 3 moral unit "which springs from the well of all our people." - ' .. . . .... rm COLD: Then bevenvious of Jackie Laughery who only needs that mink, stolefor a towel as she relaxes bv the pool of the Flamingo in Las Vegas, Nev. Youth Has Close Call In Escaping Grip of 20-Foot Killer Shark Monterey, Calif. (U.R) James , F. Jacobs, 19, said today that he thought "somebody was playing a joke on me" when . he felt something grip his feet while swimming. But it was no joke. He found out he was the near-fatal victim of a 20-foot killer shark attract ed by the blood of a smaller fish Jacobs had just.speared. The shark inflicted several deep gashes on Jacob's feet be fore being frightened away. The youth was given first aid treat ment at the police station in Monterey. Speared Fish The incident took place yes terday within a stone's throw of the place where 17-year-old Bar ry Wilson, of Pacific Grove, was literally torn to pieces by a man eating shark before hundreds of spectators oh Dec. 7, 1952. . Jacobs was fishing with fellow members of the "Devil Divers" of Santa Cruz, his home town. The group is a deep sea diving and fishing club. He had just speared a two-foot fish and was rising to the surface to put the fish in an equipment float. While treading water, Jacobs felt "something grab both my legs from behind." "I was swimming with both feet close together," he said. "I felt a hard slow grip coming down on my feet. . "I thought someone was play ing a joke on me, but the grip was too h?rd, I kicked my feet and they were released." Jacobs yelled for help, then looked back and saw the shark. Nearly 20 Feet Long "I could see the section behind the eye, I couldn't see the end of it. He looked to be about 2Vz feet thick." ' P. B. Smith, one of several fishermen who answered , Ja cobs' call, described the retreat ing shark as being nearly 20 feet long, bue on top and whitish gray on the bottom. Witnesses believed it was a white shark. The shark's teeth penetrated Jacobs' left foot twice, leaving two holes of about two inches in diameter. : They also , inflicted three gashes on' the right ankle, one about four inches long. Ship Lack Piles Coos Bay Lumber Coos Bay (U.R) A shortage of ships has caused a lumber pileup on docks here, according to lumber and shipping officials, and could result in the closure of some local mills. A. O. Karlen, manager for Weyerhaeuser Timber Com pany's local operations, said more than 23,000,000 boardfeet of lumber was piled on the Wey erhaeuser dock. Other compan ies made similar reports. Charles Spear, central dock manager, said the amount of lumber piled up was not as sig nificant as the fact that stocks were not moving. . Spear and Karlen said the shortage of ships was widespread along the Pacific Coast, but was made more acute here because shipping companies, feeling ves sels can be loaded more quickly at other ports, avoid Coos Bay. TOO MUCH MUSTARD Los Angeles (U.R) Three. hundred pound Dick Rankin, 39, lost a bet he could eat 25 ham burgers and drink a gallon of but termilk. After getting little more than halfway through the feast Rankin gave up. "I guess I just put a little too much mus tard on them hamburgers," Ran kin said. .

"You and that big fat mouth of yours J' God frey complained in full view of millions of his fans when Marvin made an ad lib re mark. "I've told you about it 15 times before," Godfrey added.
