(U.R) The latest chapter in the phen omenal growth of the upper Ohio River valley into one of the great chemical centers of the nation is being written at the rural community of Ravens- wood, W. Va. Kaise Aluminum and Chemi cal Corp. has started construc tion of a new S100,000,000 plant at the town, which now counts its inhabitants at 1,200. The new plant will employ twice that many persons and the pop ulation of the community is ex pected to reach 5,000 within five years. The story of Ravenswood is typical of many communities nestling in the broad valley of the Ohio River affected by the growth, of the chemical industry in the area in the past 12 years. War Started It The boom started during World War II when the nation's chemical facilities were strained to the breaking point, Geolo gists, studying earth formations, concluded the great salt vein which made central New York a chemical center should re- apper near New Martinsville, W. Va. The goverment immediately started a million-dollar chlorine and caustic soda plant there, The geologists were right. Drill ers found the valley was under laid with rich salt deposits. The Columbia Southern Div ision of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. was named to operate the plant! At the end of the war, Columbia Southern bought the facilities and started an expans ion program that continues. The parade was on. Solvay Process and National Analine built at Moundsville, W. Va., American Cyanamid at St. Mary's DuPont at Parkersburg and Linde Air Products at Sisterville. The plants began pouring out products with such tongue-twist ing names as phthalic anhydri de, anhydrous ammonia, chlor- otetracycline and polyethelenes. They find their markets in wearing apparel, plastics, fert ilizers and thousands of other products for industrial and con sumer use. The boom had a mushrooming Long-Haul Trucks Again Haul Freight Los Angeles (U.R) Long- haul trucks moved again today over the highways of 11 Western states following ratification of a new three-year contract be tween AFL teamsters and the trucking industry. Approval of the new contract was announced Saturday by Federal Conciliator John Fenton and thousands of drivers, dock men and office personnel were ordered to return to work. The strike began May 19. With local contract variations, long-haul operators won an im mediate 8-cent-hourly pay in crease, with additional hikes totaling 15 cents to follow in the next two years. Short-haul workers received boosts totaling 29 cents over a three-year period. The union also received a mileage increase of one-fourth cent a mile and pen sion benefits. End of Cominform Believed Possible London (U.R) Russia may be willing to break up its no torious "Cominform" as part of a bargain for cooperation with the Western Powers, diplomatic reports have indicated. The Cominform is the Com munist Bureau of Information which the Kremlin formed as a propaganda and coordinating agency in-1947. Reports from behind the Iron Curtain suggest that the dissolu tion of the Cominform might be promised by Russia as one of its maneuvers in the new "soft approach" it is now using. It was recalled that the "Com intern" Communist Interna tional which was the predeces sor of the Cominform was dis solved during World War II as a gesture toward the non-Communist Allies. Butler in Texas To Patch Up Rifht Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Paul But ler, national chairman of the Democratic party, flew here to day to begin a week-long tour of Texas designed to patch up the rift in party ranks. The Democrats split in the 1952 presidential campaign when the liberals supported Ad lai Stevenson, while Gov. Allan Shivers led the conservative ele ments in backing President Eisenhower. effect. As a plant would go into operation, others were built nearby to make use of its prod ucts and by- products. The end isn't in sight. The coming of the chemical industry was a boon to residents of the valley. Mayor Paul Stewart of Ravenswood describ ed the town's experience as "like moving from a small a partment into a fine, large home." "We'll have better schools, bigger church congregations just a better place to live," he said. To the economy of West Virg inia, the upsurge of chemicals was like manner in the wilderness of problems arising out of dec line of the soft coal industry, the state's biggest business. Coal hit the skids about six years ago. Unemployment rose, payrolls fell and retail business suffered. Now coal experts pre dict the industry will make a comeback and within 15 years once again be booming. With a giant chemical and a healthy coal industry, West Vir ginia expects to take its place among the leading industrial areas of the nation. A key lifeline of the boom is the Ohio River which offers cheap water transporation to other chemical and industrial centers on the Gulf Coast. Ton nage transported on some sect ions of the Ohio is more than double that of the Panama Canal. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood U.R) What's wrong between Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis? Their friends agreed today it's a case of Martin having that old team ailment sec ond f iddle-itis. Martin's fear that he's being nudged into a minor role is the major rea- Aline Mosby son, their pals say, for their recent friction. The comedian and the singer have three years to go on their NBC contract and another five with Paramount, so it's certain they'll work together next fall in TV and movies. But a long unhappiness erupt ed this week when Jerry took off alone for a premiere of "You're Never Too Young" at a Catskill Mountain hotel where he got his start. Dean turned down the junket because he felt he'd be left out of the limelight. It wasn't the first discord be tween the two. Not Jerry's Fault Martin decided he didn't have enough to do in the script of "Three Ring Circus" nearly two years ago. "It isn't Jerry's fault. Produc ers, directors and writers often favor Jerry more and Jerry does not like that any more than Dean," friends of the team say. During filming of the same picture Dean discovered he'd been cut out of magazine pho tographs that he and Jerry had posed for with Sheree North. Martin also heard Jerry had done a newspaper interview without him. The singer walked off the set, and shooting was sus pended for a day until producer Hal Wallis patched up the tiff. Later the boys agreed, at Jer ry's suggestion, to be interview ed and photographed only to gether. A month ago Martin was to appear at a charity benefit stag ed by his wife, Jeanne. At the last minute Jerry joined him. Jerry, following their resolu tion to function only as a team, even appeared when Martin sang on the last Academy Award tele cast. Practiced Golf But Martin complained he was a fifth wheel in their last NBC TV script. He didn't show up for many rehearsals, shruggin,"Why should I? I got nothn' to do." Dean practiced his golf swing on the NBC set and, observers re port, "needled Jerry about his trying to direct the show." The final touch came when Lewis failed to send Martin a birthday card last Tuesday. "Another reason for the trouble is that Jerry is young and full of energy and wants to work," one associate of the team says. "Dean is 10 years cider and likes to play golf and take it easy. Jerry also is very ambitious and wants to be a director. "Martin shouldn't think he's a second fiddle. He's as import ant to the act as Jerry is-and they'll both do better together than apart.

V. Durling (Distributed by King fturo Syndicate, lac) It has been said: "Isn't it too bad that the people you want to see all of the time you see only some of the time and those you want to see only some of the time you see all of the time? That strikes me as a good de scription of the television situa tion. Even the most brilliant entertainers are in danger of boring the customers when they are on the airwaves too often. Anyway a couple of fellows I see only some of the time on TV are two of my favorites, Jack Pearl, the highly whimsical com edian, and Morton Downey, the golden voiced Irish tenor. I first saw him in a revue on the Cen tury Roof, Manhattan. Ben Bard was his straight man then. As for Morton Downey, I could lis ten to him for hours when he starts warbling Irish melodies. Let's have Jack and Morton more of the time instead of just some of the time. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What shape and how beautiful must be the hands of a young woman who wants to be a hand model? A. Can't answer that definitely. However the leading "hand jnod el" in New York is Yvonne Sergent. There is a photograph of her hands in the New York Museum of Modern Art. If you have hands somewhat simi lar to Yvonne you are in the hand model class . . . Q. Was John Philip Sousa the band master of Italian descent? A. Sousa was born in Washington, D.C. His father, Antonio So, a trombonist in the United States Marine Band, was of Spanish birth. It is said that So added USA to his name thus making it Sousa. As you know, John Philip Sousa began his career with the United States Marine Band. Same group in which his father played the trombone. Horses and Women Swaps, the Kentucky Derby winner, is a nice colt. However, let's not get hysterical yet and start referring to him as "The Horse of the Century." Swaps didn't beat much in the "Run for the Roses." Nashua is an un controlable horse. Summer Tan is still a convalescent h or.s e. Jean's Joe, perhaps the best horse in the Kentucky Derby from a physical standpoint, is temperamental. He runs only when he fells like it. Some day he may feel like it and beat Swaps by several lengths. Doormen How much does the doorman at a top grade city or resort hotel average in tips? To that I don't know the answer. However, the tips for the doormen are report ed so good at the luxury hotels in Miami, Fla., that applicants for the position pay for the job, Is said some pay several thou sand dollars to get a doorman's job for which no salary is paid. The tips provide a very fancy income. ....... Suggestion Do you know a eirl with a good singing voice plus an at tractive streamlined appear ance? One having ambitions to succeed in the world of enter tainment? I have an idea for her. Have her master a banjo, guitar or mandolin so she can accompany herself. That will greatly improve her chances for success. Females who can just sing and wave their hands or snap their fingers are plentiful. mere is a terrific audience ap peal in a girl who can play her own accomrjaniement on one nf the instruments aforementioned. Look at the record. Sidelights Know any youne woman who is to be a June bride? Include in the smaller weddine nresents you give her that highly valu- aoie book of helpful house keeping hints titled "The Home maker and Her Job," by Dr. Lil lian Gilbreth . . . Not auite a few women customers in barber shops recently. What's the idea? Are the haircuts at the beauty snop not so good? Or is it just because some women like to be where men are greatly in the majority? Objections A Bostonian obiects to mv reference to "A Woman Named Evelyn Hope." Says he, "Every body knows if the name is Ev elyn, the person is a woman. Why waste . space-" There are also men named Evelyn. As for example Evelyn Waugh, the brilliant British author. "Why Medford Building Totals Increase During Past Month The dollar volume of new construction in Medford last month was up 11 per cent over May, 1954, according to figures released today by the statistical department of Equitable Savings and Loan association. The Medford total last month was $224,210, compared with $201,230 in May, 1954. The city's volume was up 41 per cent from the total of $158,800 for April, 1955. Grants Past Increase Grants Pass showed an 85 per cent increase last month, com pared with May, 1954, and a 160 per cent increase over April, 1955. The Grants Pass figures were: May, 1955 $244,645. May, 1954 $132,190. April, 1955 $94,125. Figures for Klamath Falls showed an increase of 138 per cent over May, 1954, and a de crease of 4 per cent from April, 1955. The totals were: May, 1955 $214,511. May, 1954 $90, 059. April, 1955 $223,260. State Totals Up Statewide, the dollars volume was up 28 per cent over May, 1954, and up 1 per cent over April, 1955. A figure of $36,416,142 for all construction was reached during May for the combined 47 largest cities in Idaho, Oregon, Washing ton and British Columbia. Dur ing the period, greatest percent age gains came in British Colum bia, Idaho and Oregon in that order. Washington, while sur passing its April volume, was 17 per cent below last May's report Billy Graham Arrives In Zurich for Meetings Zurich, Switzerland (U.R) American evangelist Billy Gra ham arrived here last night from Paris for two religious meetings to be held next week end in Zurich and Geneva. Graham, who drew millions to prayer meetings in Britain, at tracted a total of 42,883 Paris ians to the vast Palais Des Sports and won 2254 "decisions for Christ." write it St. Louis, Mo.?" one reader asked. "Everybody knows St. Louis is in Mossouri." There is also a St. Louis in Michigan. A highly indignant Calif ornian once wrote: "Why refer to Pasa dena, Calif.? Everybody knows Pasadena, the home of the Rose Bowl game, is v in California." Evidently the gentleman didn't know there is also a Pasadena in Maryland. Models In addition to young women who are "hand models" .are some who are leg-models. They model nylon hosiery. Ideal leg measurements of a hosiery mod el are said to be: length, 32 inch es; calf, 13 inches; ankle, 734 inches.
