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.

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.
License fees for trucks are
much higher in California than
in Oregon. ,
Meanwhile, State Sen. Ran
dolph Collier of Yreka, Calif.,
said today he would attempt to
see the license requirement was
not enforced until some attempt
had been made to change the
law.
Press Conference
To Hear Don Belding
Eugene (U.R) Don Belding,
chairman of the board of a Los
Angeles advertising firm, will
deliver the closing address at
the 36th annual Oregon press
conference here Feb. 18-19.
Born in Grants Pass, and a
graduate of the university, Beld
ing was an executive vice-president
of Lord & Thomas until
1942 when that firm dissolved.
Other featured speakers at the
conference, sponsored by the
Oregon Newspaper ' Publishers
Association , and the Oregon
school of journalism, will be Pal
mer Hoyt, editor and publisher
of the Denver Post, and Irving
Dilliard, editor, of the editorial
page of the St." Louis Post-Dispatch.
Hoyt will address the Fri
day night banquet.
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

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. .
Soil conservation has been es?
tablished embracing about 950,
000,000 acres in the United
States.
