Jupiter Claimed Sending 'Messages' Princeton, N.J. OJ.FO Two cientists reported today that the giant planet Jupiter is broadcasting radio "messages." These messages have been picked up on Earth in "the first recorded instance of such waves being received from one of the other planets of our solar sys tem." The report on Jupiter's broad casts was made to the Ameri can Astronomical society here by Drs. Bernard F. Burke and Kenneth L. Franklin of the Car negie Institute of Washington. The radio waves from Jupit er, largest of the planets, were received by the institution's huge radio telescope near Sen eca, Md. They consist ."of short random bursts of static resemb ling thunderstorm interference." Burke and Franklin said the explanation of Jupiter's radio emission is not known. But the Carnegie Institution said "it might be caused by disturbances in the atmosphere of Jupiter similar to our thunderstorms but on a much larger scale."

Holmes The majority of saxophone players become bald-headed at a comparatively early age. This is also true of cornetists and all others who play horns in dance bands and symphony orchestras. Why? Well sir, it is claimed the physical strain of blowing the horns affects the circulation and deprives the roots of the hair of their due supply of blood. Bride How much older than the bride should the bridegroom be? According to experts on the sub ject the age of the bride should be the age of the bridegroom di vided by two, and seven added. For example, if the bridegroom is 36, the bride should be 25. If the bridegroom is 32 the bride should be 23. If the bridegroom is 28, bride should be 21, and so on. Get It Right Note it said the fashion of squared shoulders on feminine attire was launched by Marcel Rochas of Paris. That's wrong. That style was launched by Ed die Schmidt of Beverly Hills, Calif. The inspiration of the idea was none other than Greta Gar bo. Pointing at an overcoat de signed JEor Jack Gilbert, she said to Eddie Schmidt, "make me a coat with shoulders like that." So Eddie did. And Greta Garbo was the first woman to feature the "squared shoulders" attire, Passing By Arlene Dahl. Flaming tressed cinema siren. Is of Scandinavian descent.

San Francisco U.R) Mary Millen, a swimming pool cashier, noticed a long blue streak on the side of a boy's leg Tuesday as he climbed out of the water. "How did you get that awful bruise on your leg?" she asked. "Nothing wrong with my leg," the boy said. "It's my fountain pen. It leaks."

(U.R) State, military and volunteer firefighters fought today to hold the line against a huge, dang erous forest blaze until expect ed rains end its threat against coastal villages.

Scores of Forest Rangers, vol unteers and personnel from near by Army, Marine and Coast Guard bases helped check the' threatening prongs of fire grop ing toward the villages of Rose Bay and Ponzer about eight miles northwest of here. 1 Wt-dnetdir. April 8, ItSS MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FITS Measures in Oregon Legislature Salem (U.R) A state build ing program may be submitted to the people at a special elec tion, a meeting of the ways and means subcommittee on build ings has indicated here. Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr. (R Portland), chairman of the Sen ate Tax Committee, already has said there will "without doubt" be a special election on revenue measures. Members of the subcommittee, headed by Sen. John P. Houn sell (R-Hood River) met with members of the State Board of Control and heard that the board's $10,305,000 building program comes in the "must" category. This is apart from the State Board of Higher Education's $7, 000,000 building program. Gov. Paul L. Patterson told the subcommittee the board's program is not for construction in some new fields and includes no frills. Salem (U.R) A claim by Sen. George Ulett (R-Coquille) that the Oregon Development Commission has done nothing that Chambers of Commerce could not do better has slowed action on a bill that would ap propriate $130,000 for the com mission. The Joint Ways and Means Committee has delayed vote on a motion to approve the appro priations bill and send it to the House. Ulett said he would op pose the bill because the commis sion had not proved its worth. Sen. John Merrifield (R-Port-land) said the commission con tained some of the best business brains in the state and should be given another two years of life to show what it could do. The committee approved a bill that would authorize a charge of 20 cents for inquiries to the state license division for names and addresses of car li cense plate owners when those inquiries come from cities and 25 cents when they came from individuals. Receipts from the charge would go toward support of a statewide teletype grid for law enforcement agencies..

Committee after the committee received a letter of endorsement from six county assessors. The bill was defeated when first sent to the floor but was revived by a successful motion to reconsider. In its amended version, it removed the objec tions of assessors and members who claimed it would consti tute an invasion by the state of county prerogatives in hiring ap praisers. Salem (U.R) A bill creating an office of state labor concil iator has been passed by the House and sent to the Senate with no dissenting votes. It was a Democratic -sponsored meas ure. The conciliator would be ap pointed by the governor and could enter into labor disputes either at the request of the dis puting parties or on his own initiative. If his efforts at set tling a dispute were fruitless, he could then report the deadlock to the governor who could acti vate the machinery of the state board of conciliation. The House also approved a compromise bill for the regula tion by the State Highway Com mission of roadside advertising. It would permit the commission to control advertising of high way rights of way wifnin city limits as well as in rural areas. It would permit cities that have been by-passed by express routes to erect informative signs, provided they conformed to com mission standards, to divert traf fic to their roadside businesses. For the second time members defeated a bill that would re quire the game commission to obtain permission of county courts before acquiring lands for public hunting grounds. Sup porters said the bill would give local control over creation of state "empires." Opponents said it would ham per the commission's efforts to provide better recreation facili ties for the state's sportsmen. Salem (U.R) A bill to allow the Portland city council to place on the ballot a tax meas ure for the benefit of junior and senior symphony orchestras has been passed by the Senate and sent to the House. It ap plies only to cities of over 250,-000. Salem U.R) Rep. William Bradeen (R.-Burns) has intro duced a bill in the House to pro vide ' for distribution to each county of not less than 75 per cent of any state property tax that might be collected for the basic school support fund.
