Terrorists Stalk
Streets of Saigon
Saigon, Indochina (U.P.) Reb
el snipers stalked the streets of
Saigon today in what officials
said was the beginning of a
large scale terrorist campaign
gainst American-backed Pre
mier Ngo Dinh Diem.
Two loyal Viet Namese offic
ers were shot and killed and two
others gravely wounded by the
roving terrorist bands last night.
The gunmen were believed mem
bers of the Ninh Xuyen gang of
ex-river pirates whose private
army was driven from Saigon
by Diem's loyal troops after vio
lent street fighting.
The new "offensive" game
came as Diem pressed urgently
for talks with the United States,
France and Britain to bolster his
shaky4 regime. Informed sources
said the Big Three almost cer
tainly would reject DienVs pro
posals for a four-power meeting.

Flexible Support
Foes Eye Victory
Washington U.R) Oppon
ents of the administration's flex
ible farm price supports
claimed the votes today to push
the House approval program of
high rigid supports through the
Senate Agriculture Committee.
Some supporters of the admin
istration's plan conceded that
the administration may lose a
round in committee. But Senate
farm leaders differed about the
fate of the farm program if the
Issue reaches the Senate floor.
A presidential veto was con
sidered all but certain if the
House approved bill should clear
the Senate and wind up on the
President's desk.
Nose counting and trial bal
ances of strength were the order
of the day as the Senate Agri
culture Committee was called
into closed session to consider
the House passed bill. It would
restore the 90 per cent support
level on the five basic crops.
Spokane Hotel Guests
Flee Threat of Bombing

and it'll go off at 7 o'clock
sharp."
No bomb exploded, however,
and firemen and police who
searched the building said they
found no evidence of ?nything
resembling a bomb.
Police Capt. Harrison Cox
said, "we're convinced it's a
hoax."

That's not so many. Henry

when he was 9. I didn't start

When I was 9 I smoked a pipe.
Superior Sex
"How silly for the females
to claim theirs is the superior
sex," comments a male subscrib
er. "Compare the achievements
of the males in literature, art and
science with those of the females.
The male is far in the lead. The
greatest designers are men. The
greatest hairdressers are men.
The most accomplished experts
on the rearing and care of in
fants are men. Men are better
cooks than women. Also men are
better looking than women. Few
er men are overweight. Men have
better complexions and better
looking natural hair. However,
when a woman is slipped into
a two way stretch, a set of falsies,
a pair of expensive nylons and
she applies powder, lipstick,
rouge, eyebrow pencil, eye shad
ow and has her hair dyed and
gets a permanent, she can at
times look pretty good, but who
wouldn't with all that artificial
aid and equipment?"

Look what Mr. Peterson told those financiers!
Mr. Alfred G. Peterson, a forth
right man, addressed the con
vention of the Savings Associa
tions League of N. Y. State and
boldly discussed the matter of
advertising of his own free will.
Mr. Peterson, who is president
of the National Savings and Loan
League, and president of the First Federal Savings
and Loan Association of Greenwich, Connecticut,
spoke as follows: .
feel that advertising is a very profitable
investment. But we should not buy advertising
blindly. We should give careful consideration
both to the appeals and the media we use."
And listen to this !
- "The medium which tops the list is the medium
that reaches trie greatest number of people at the
lowest cost. It is my opinion the newspaper is
that medium "
But that isn't all . . .
"I place the newspaper at the top of the list
because it reaches the local market. All of us are
really conducting local businesses.
"We may be bound together into a nationaljn
dustry, but our spheres of influence are entirely
local.
"The newspaper reaches precisely the people
we want to reach."
Ah, Mr. Peterson you are a man who knows
his investment!
Last year the institution headed by Mr. Peter
son invested 5 of its gross income on adver
tising, and more than 60 of that went into
newspapers.
In only ten years this Association multiplied
its total resources eight-fold!
Gosh! If savings and loan people themselves
advertise think how they must feel about lend
ing money to people who work for sound com
panies who advertise soundly in newspapers.
All business is local. . . and so are all newspapers!
