Tom Gola All-American for 3rd Year; Two Dukes on UP Quintet B7 NORMAN MILLER. New York (U.R) Talented Tom Gola of La Salle established himself as one of the great col lege 5 basketball players of all time when he was chosen today 'on the United Press All-Ameri-can team for the third consecu tive season. Bill Russell of San Francisco, Dick Ricketts and Si Green of 'Duquesne, and Dick Garmaker of Minnesota were the other players selected on the 1955 mythical all-star team in a nationwide poll of 283 sports writers and radio broadcasters. Gola- received the largest vot ing percentage of any player in the seven years that the United Press has conducted its All America basketball poll. He was mentioned on the ballots of 95.4 per cent of the All-America selectors. Russell was the second highest vote-getter, being named on 63.6 per cent of the ballots; Ricketts polled 59.4 per cent and Green 50.2 per cent. Four-Man Race Garmaker was mentioned on 42.8 per cent of the ballots and barely won a place on the team in an unusually close four-man race with Dick Hemric of Wake Forest. Robin Freeman of Ohio State and Don Schlundt of In diana. The South thus failed to get a man on this year's first team but was represented with three players on the second team in Hemric, Darrell Floyd of Fur man and Ron Shavlik of North Carolina State. The selection of Ricketts and Green marked the first time that any school had, more than one All-America in the same season since three Kentucky players were chosen back in 1949. The five players chosen repre sented a coach's "dream team,' with an average height just a shade below six-foot-six and a scoring ayerage of 22.7 points per-man, per-game. Because position designations mean far less in modern basket ball than they once did, and were largely ignored by the bal loters, this All-America team was not listed according to positions. Yet experts believed that these five remarkably versatile play ers would produce a superb unit in action, with Russell at center, Gola and Green in the back court, and Garmaker and Rick etts in the forecourt. Gola's scoring average of 24.9 points, highest oi. anyone on. the 1955 All-America team, reflects only, a small part of his ability. Gola's rebounding average of 20.4 per game ranks him fifth among major college players. Second Team ' ".

Bootlegging of Cars Charged by Crumpacker Washington (U.R) Rep. Shephard J. Crumpacker Jr. (R-Ind.) has charged that some auto makers are encour aging "bootlegging" of new cars as part of an all-out battle for sales supremacy. He told a reporter he v will press for Legislation to stamp out the practice. Crumpacker defined auto "bootlegging" as the sale of new cars as used cars at cut prices. He said it offers unfair and sometimes ruinous competition to legitimate, new car dealers who charge standard prices Crumpacker said these dealers are entitled to protection by law because they bear the expense of maintaining service depart ments which the motoring pub lic needs. Around Hollywood By ALINE M0SBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Another New York televison star, Orson Bean, has been lured to Holly TTM wood for movies but this one in tends to just get his feet wet and hurry back. Bean is the light comedi an with the crew cut and AlineMosby impossible name who has become a parlor fixture from such programs as "Arsenic and Old Lace," "Studio One," "Toast of the Town" and 'Omnibus." Twentieth Century-Fox Studio cornered him to play a college boy (he still looks like one) who accidentally hypnotizes Sheree North in "How to be Very, Very Popular." But after the camera slops grinding, Bean will . pack hi3 charcoal-and-pink outfits and return to his alma mater, New York. TV.,... . Own Program "I have a three-year contract with CBS' he explained. "Next fall I'm going to start my own program, 'The Orson Bean Show'. : "I also think I have some sort of a deal with Fox to come back but I don't know what it is," he added vaguely. CBS apparently has hopes of turning casual, youthful Bean into the CBS answer to George Gobel. Even Bean admits his program will be a "cross be tween Gobel and Jack Benny, with a mixture of monologues and sketches." "But why does everybody have to be campared?" he mourned. "Or put opposite such competition?" Bean is well trained for his hypnotist part in his first motion picture because he used to be one. At" one time he was plain Dallas Burrows and lived in Cambridge, Mass. His father was a policeman at Harvard Univer sity. The closest Orson got to Harvard, however, was walking across the campus every day for four years on his way .to high school. No More School "That was enough," he said. "After high school I went to the Army and then to work." Bean starred as a hypnotist and magician , in nightclubs. He also tried summer stock and little theaters. In one play he was so ashamed of his part he changed , his name every night "to the most outlandish names I could think of." One was "Orson Bean." He liked the sound so much he kept the name, giving rise to such agonizing subtitles as . "He's a Bean from Boston." Orson launched his TV career in Pittsburgh and has been a New York TV luminary for four Criminologist Delayed In Sheppard Solution Berkeley, Calif. U.R) - Dr. Paul JL. Kirk, noted University of California criminologist, said today he will be unable to com plete his investigation of the Sheppard case by tomorrow as planned.' "I had hoped to have it ready by March 1 but I've been de layed," he said. "I can't say when it will be ready." Kirk spent several days gleaning evidence from the Bay View, O., home of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, convicted of sec ond degree murder for the slay ing of his wife, Marilyn.

At the end S-?Vir.st rticle- the author asked, "Who is to blame?") By ROBERT Y. THORNTON The solution of this problem is not simple. Many wives re frain from prosecution in the hope that the head of the family will return home. Then too, there may well be instances such as were reported in Detroit A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer LlaL Washington (U.R) The lovely new blond Congresslady from Minnesota, Coya Knutson, has stirred up a fuss about how a house wife ought to make spud lefse: Mrs. Knut son, who is proud that she is the first wo man in a long time to be come a mem- harman fticnols ber of the House Agriculture Committee, brought the matter up in meet ing. The discussion was about the 90 per cent farm crops sup port bill. And Mrs. K. mentioned "lefse." A member who was not of Scandinavian extraction said: "What in thunder is lefse?" "I show you," said the nice little blond. "And right here in this room, the 34 members of the committee, including me, will partake of same." And by golly the other day they did. And, also by golly, if you haven't tasted "lefse and butter" it's about time you did. It's Delicious Right after the meeting, the lady from Oklee, Minn., (pop. 494) where she and her husband run a small hotel, got on the Edi son. She called Mrs. Rudy Gus taf son and Mrs. M. O. Zenner of Fergus Falls, Minn., and they promised to send airmail some lefse. The Chamber of Com merce shipped butter from Wau bun. James Stretch, who sent it, knows good lefse when he tastes it, with butter, of course. Lefse, if you didn't know, is bread, and you never tasted the Jikes of it. When Mrs. Knutson made her remark, in the interest of 90 per cent parity, about butter and Pollution Authority ' Salem (U.R) Legislative ob servers here are predicting to day that the budget for the State Air Pollution Authority may be cut off at the pockets. . Gov. Paul L. Patterson recom mended less than $95,000 for the biennium, but it now looks like the authority will be lucky to get any part of the money. Under provisions of House bill 222, introduced by Rep. George Layman, any . town could peti tion the county court for air pollution regulation if 10 citi zens signed the petition. Under the old law, cities over 50,000 population could petition for regulation and some mem bers see the new law as a pos sible nuisance with only 10 citizens required to sign. The Air Pollution Authority has equipment to detect and measure air pollution. years. His original co-star in his movie debut was to have been Marilyn Monroe, who jilted Fox to become a corporation. When I inquired if he had met Mari lyn, he appeared startled. "I didn't think anybody dared mention her name around here,'' he said, peering around the Fox sound stage. "I saw her only once, in New York, and I was in the crowd gawking like every body else." - The richest of all the world's known uranium deposits, and perhaps the most closely guard ed is the Skinkolobwe mine in the southern Belgian Congo.

She said " she didn't mess around with measurements of this and that, things like flour, shortening and salt and potatoes. "You just have to know, and I couldn't write it down to save my life," she said. "The potatoes are mashed, in my recipe, with a little flour and shortening mix ed in and then baked on the top of a wood stove or an electric grill if you want to be fancy and modern." Norwegian Recipe Soggy old p o t a t o es are the best. And you can add, if you wish, a sprinkle of sugar. '' In Scandinavia it is the cheap bread, and according to Mrs. Knutson, "the best." "It has to be served cold, with the butter added as butter ought to be added, good and thick." The Norwegian embassy filed a "minority" report. It has its own recipe, which is not used in Minnesota, that the congresslady knows of. The embassy said: "one, cup sugar, V2 cup of lard, 3 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tea spoon of soda, 1 quart of butter milk and add flour. Cream sugar and lard, add egg yolk and mix well with creamed mixtures. Add salt. Dissolve soda in but termilk and add flour to make a dough that can be handled nice ly. Roll thin and bake quickly. Three hours before serving, dampen one side of each lefse to be used. Wrap in cloth." That seems like a lot of time to waste on little finger of bread. The lady from Minnesota thinks so, too, although she has nothing against Norwegians. "It doesn't take that long where I came from," she said. where the wives were getting ADC payments while the hus band surreptitiously sneaked home every night after dark to visit his family. In some instances welfare agencies are too busy to keep the pressure on the mothers re ceiving Aid to Dependent Chil dren or ADC as it is known for short to compel them to report to the district attorney's office to keep after their husbands. Charges have also been-made in some states that mothers have been permitted to put their chil dren on ADC without being com pelled to file criminal charges against their runaway spouses, and that once "on" ADC they are not compelled to report monthly to show that they are continuing in good faith in at tempts to collect support from their husbands, either through the new Runaway Father law or criminal nonsupport pro ceedings. Legislature Gets Blame Also to blame, according to some Oregon observers is the legislature itself. The office of district attorney , in Oregon is still largely treated by the legis lature as a part-time job. In most counties the salary is insufficient to permit the district attorney to give his full time to his du ties. He has to engage in private practice in order . to pay the butcher, the baker and the can dlestick maker. Thus, how can he be blamed if he doesn't give full attention to this problem? - One solution that has been ad vocated by some authorities is to place the district attorney on a full-time basis in all counties having a population of 15,000 or over, and pay him a good salary making it unnecessary- for him to , engage in private practice. These critics maintain that the district attorney will save the state and county many times this increased salary in collect ing support payments from run away fathers. Another Approach - Another and entirely differ ent approach to the nonsuppcrt problem has been advocated by several members of Congress since 1948. They suggest making family desertions, across state lines a federal offense and prosecuting the offender in the federal courts. In the course of this article! we have talked extensively about compelling runaway fa thers to support their deserted spouses and children. The new law has helped immensely in compelling the absconder to sup port his dependents. But . the problem that our sociologists and psychologists are endeavor ing to answer is this: Why did the father desert his family in the first place? What is causing this? Where is it leading? Your concern and mine is to find out what is being done to attack the problem at its heart we should be doing more about stopping ; these child de sertions before they occur. Other Questions To what extent does faulty judgment in the choice of one's mate and too hasty marriage set the stage for later desertion and abandonment? If many of these marriages are doomed to failure from the very start, what can be done about avoiding them in the first place? Is there any reason why we cannot have a positive program for the ; prevention of shaky marriages and desertion, just as we have educational programs for; preventing crime, fire or tuberculosis? i J While this would cost money, wouldn't it actually save the taxpayers - many thousands of dollars in ADC and public as sistance, not to mention the un told saving in heartbreak, un happiness and human misery with all the accompanying peiv manent hurt to thousands of youngsters, who are the greatest casualties of this social illness? Crime Increase Cited Every citizen knows that the broken home situation has con tributed greatly to the alarming increase in our juvenile crime and delinquency rates. The fu ture of Oregon and of the na tion depends in a large measure upon ; the kind . of environment and upbringing we provide our children. , -; .;, ,- ; I submit that the duty is clear and urgent. We must act now: in this present generation to ' ex pand pre-marriage and. home counseling services by- both" pri vate and public agencies in or der to strengthen and stabilize the family,' relationships and combat this plague of domestic breakups before it's too late.
