(International) Campaign for Funds To Immortalize Name of George Bernard Shaw Fizzles Ayot St. Lawrence, England (L'.R) At the end of a sleepy lana in this little hamlet is the red - brick Victorian mansion from which George Bernard Shaw departed this life nearly five years ago. This is a story of disappoint ment. When Shaw died, in Novem ber of 1950, they dimmed the lights of Broadway for a few moments because the theater had lost a great playwright. Audiences stood up in silence in Australia. Corrpared with Shakespeare Kings . . . Prime ministers... presidents ... paid their re spects. Shaw was compared with Shakespeare.

Especially by the female sex. A steadily in creasing number of literary ladies are referring to their sex as "the superior sex." Some go even further. To emphasize their point, they refer to the male as "the inferior sex." One of the girls referred to a man as an "incomplete female." To which, she added that most men have an inferiority complex because they cannot give birth to a baby. How about it. Mister, do you feel depressed or inferior be cause you can't be the star at a blessed event? Get It Right As a musical film versionof "Quo Vadis" is inevitable, it is important to know exactly what . musical instrument Nero played while Rome burned. It was a ' Greek lyre. Incidentally, Nero also fancied himself as'a singer. He entered singing competitions. He brought along about 10,000 hired applauders. When Nero finished a song, these applauders clapped, cheered and screamed hysterically the same as modern radio and television studio au diences do. Nero's concerts last ed three hours. Nobody was per mitted to leave before one of the emperor's concerts was over ex cept expectant mothers. At one concert, three men were dis covered disguised as expectant mothers. They were sentenced to prison for life. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Do you recall the song titled "I Couldn't Make My Feelin's Be have"? A.

Mr. Holmes voiced that crack about eighty years ago but it is still a good description of an after noon gathering of women. Few women have the gift of brev ity in talking. They use too many words, especially adjectives. Asides One of the major causes of people suffering from slipped discs is the way some modern chairs are constructed. That's what a physician who has done much experimenting and re search on the matter claims.. . . What type of trees, If any, are very near your house? Do you know some trees are more likely to be struck by lightning than others? Oak is first in this re spect. Then in the order named, elm, ash, poplar and pine. Wild Section . What rates the wildest night life section in any major city in the history of the United States? New Yorkers generally claim it was that part of Manhattan known as "The Tenderloin." I be lieve tops in wild night life was San Francisco's Barbary Coast Incidentally, in the heyday of the Barbary Coast, the following news item dealing with a hap pening in that section appeared in a local paper: "Kanaka Pete of the What Cheer House shot Cockroach of the Little Silver Dollar in a fight in the Eye Wink dance hall over a woman known as Iodoform Kate." . GETTING ALONG . Hartford, Conn. (U.R) Michael Delia Ferra told friends at his birthday party that "I guess I'm getting old." He turned 100. said his place in literary history was assured. Almost immediately a $700, 000 "Shaw Memorial Campaign" was started. Eminent people all over the world gave their sup port. But not their money. The memorial campaign never got off the ground. There were to be Shaw scholarships for promising play wrights ... a repertory theater devoted to Shaw's plays ... a fund to maintain his home as a museum. One year after Shaw died the "campaign" was quietly wound up. Less .than $2800 had been collected. The national trust which was going to run the Shaw museum has had to offer the place for rent. . , Pilgrimages Lacking The pilgrimages to the Shaw home which his admirers en visioned have never material ized. A few sightseers occasion ally gape at the house, but they seem more inclined to wander into the 500-year-old pub for a drink. - Ayot is hard to get to, except by car, which is one reason Shaw chose it as a place to live. Another reason was the local graveyard, where Shaw had noticed an epitaph for an 83-year-old woman. The stone said she had been "cut off before her time." "Any place that considers 83 the prime of life, said Shaw, was the place for him. ANPA President Blasts Wilson for Censorship Urge New York (U.R) The presi dent of the American Newspaper Publishers Association today blasted Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson for restricting information. He said the great est concern , of the American press was "the ever present urge to censorship and a limiting of news sources. Richard W. Slocum, ANPA president and executive vice president of the Philadelphia Bulletin, spoke af the publish ers' 69th annual, meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel here. He said the association' maintained "a questioning attitude toward everybody who occupies a place of power." Calls for Chang ""We shall hope that our well intentioned secretary of defense will quickly see the error in his recent resort to censorship in an effort to check alleged secret leaks," Slocum said. "This is not to say we do not trust and respect and even ad mire public servants," Slocum said. "But experience has shown that the power of government in some people brings resentment of the operation of a free press." He expressed his approval of "the critical eye and voice of our readers" but lashed out at the "complaints of a few dis appointed and disgruntled parti sans, even at an ex-President." The latter part of his state ment obviously referred to for mer Presidetn Truman's remark last week that the nation had "a one-party press" favoring Presi dent Eisenhower. Union Leaders Condemned Slocum condemned the lead ers of some newspaper unions who, he said, were "pussyfoot ing" and "looking the other way when their members are not living up to their contract work obligations." "The death of the Brooklyn Eagle, the deaths of some other newspapers with strikes as the executioner, are shocking things," Slocum said. "They must not be passed over lightly. It is a shameful blot on the rec ord of normally stable news paper unions when their mem bership joins in concerted ac tion,' in violation of contractual commitments, particularly so when the immediate result is the death of a voice of expression to- the people."
