O'Hanlon Collects $16,000
For Shakespeare Answers;
Family Conservatism Wins
Br H. D. QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York fU.R; Patrolman
Redmond L. O'Hanlon, $16,000
richer but nine pounds thinner,
summed up his attitude toward
television quiz shows today with
a quote from his favorite author,
Shakespeare.
"The rest is silence," he said
with a flourish.
Then he uttered oine quotei
of his own.
"If I were a single man, I
would have gone ahead for the
$32,000 and the $64,000 ques
tions. I probably could have
answered that next question for
$32,000, and I would have been
a cinch to get the final, $64,000
one, because the rules allowed
me to bring in any expert to
help me answer that one.
"But a man in my position,
with five children, has to be a
little conservative. We don't
want to be rich. We just want
to raise our kids in a competent
fashion."
Makes Decision
It was at 2 p.m. yesterday,
O'Hanlon said, that he finally
made up his mind "after wa
vering hot and cold all week
long" that he would go on the

television show "The $64,000
question" last night and say he
didn't want to try for any more
questions: Just give him his $16,
000. Two weeks ago he won S8000
answering questions about the
category he had selected
Shakespeare. Last week he came
back and answered one question
correctly to win $16,000. His
problem last night was whether
to risk his winnings by taking a
chance on doubling them. A
wrong answer would get him
nothing but a consolation prize
an expensive automobile.

City policeman has been a stu
dent of Shakespeare for 16
years, putting 6,000 hours on on?
phase of study puns and
other wordplay in Shakespeare's
works.
Conservatism Won
Conservatism won. He got his
$16,000 check. After the show
he kissed it. Then he kissed his
pretty, black-haired wife, Mar
guerite.
Mrs. O'Hanlon, 35, and as Irish
as her husband, sat on the front
row of the studio audience wear
ing an off-shoulder white dress
covered with orange and white
embroidered buds, fane was
dressed up for the occasion be
cause she had no idea what her
husband had decided to do. She
was scared to ask him during the
week
The O'Hanlon children stayed
home on Staten Island with a
baby sitter. The three oldest
ones, two girls, 10 and 8, and a
boy, 6, stayed up to watch the
show. The first thing O'Hanlon
will do with the winning money
is buy a station wagon so their
mother can take them places
During the last two weeks of
worry and study, O'Hanlon said,
he lost nine pounds from his
five-foot, 11-inch frame.
"This program should be call
ed the reducing show," he said
afterwards. "Just look at my
belt pulled to the last notch.
And before I started on this quiz
show I had developed such a
paunch that my oldest kids
would holler 'M-M-M-, boy' at
me to indicate I was as fat as
Jackie Gleason."
Many Plans
With their money the O'Han
lons intend besides buying the
station wagon to build another
bedroom and a study onto their
house. The study will be equip
ped with the latest Shakes
pearean research equipment, and
in it O'Hanlon expects to finish
his book on Shakespeare's wordr
play in four more months. In 16
years, he has collected 3600 in
stances of wordplay out of
Shakespeare's 1,000,000 written
words.
Mrs. O'Hanlon wants to get a
piano so her girls can take les
sons, and her husband wants to
get her a kiln for the cellar so
she can pursue her hobby of
ceramics.
O'Hanlon said yesterday was
"the longest day of my life" and
that his decision was a "tremen
dous relief." He has had offers
from over the country to make
speeches and to preside at

Small-Town Civil Defense
Role Declared Important
Salem In event of enemy
attack, civil defense prepara
tions in small towns and rural
areas will be as important as
those developed by target areas.
That was the principal lesson
of this month's civil defense ex
ercise, "Operation Alert," ac
cording to Oregon Civil Defense
Director Arthur M. Sheets.
Aid Needed
"A city devastated by atomic
attack could not recover through
its own power," he stated. "To
small cities throughout the state
would fall the burden of sup
plying police officers, fire fight
ing equipment, rescue units, first
aid teams, emergency welfare
teams and other resources. In
addition, they would be on the
receiving end of a large scale
evacuation. Each city can expect
to double its population within
hours after an attack."
If last week's theoretical at
tack on Portland had been pre
ceded by actual evacuation, this
would have placed about 40,000
evacuees in Klamath county and
38,000 in Jackson county. Re
ception centers throughout the
state would have taken care of
the rest of Portland's popula
tion. Dangers, Too
Shakespeare festivals. Also, he
has had plenty of advice in the
mail 95 per cent of it advised
him not to answer any more
questions.
He felt so good when it was
all over that he couldn't help in
dulging in his Shakespearean
specialty puns. He told a re
porter he would have two type
writers in his new study, one
with elite and one with pica pro
nounced "pike-uh" type. Then he
said, happily:
"I was pica before this, but
I'm elite tonight."
Small communites would face
dangers as well as responsibili
ties if an H-bomb is dropped on
Portland. Radioactive fallout
would cover an area 40 miles
wide and 200 miles long down
wind from a bomber city. The
fallout pattern would depend on
wind direction and velocity. Per
sons in the fallout area would
have to remain under cover for
at least 36 hours, or until noti
fied by civil defense officials
that it is safe to leave their
shelters.
All places used for cover
should contain simple food sup
plies, battery-operated radio and
other emergency provisions. Per
sons exposed to contaminated
particles are advised to change
clothes and wash thoroughly.
Ashland Water Supply
Bad, Official Reports
Ashland The water supply
situation in Ashland is "bad,"
according to City Supt. E. C.
Biegel.
There was no cause for alarm,
however, Biegel indicated. Un
less water is actually wasted, no
water rationing will be neces
sary, he said. The city already
has plans to curtail its own water
consumption, and Biegel sug
gested Ashland residents use
greater care in home water use.
According to Biegel, the dam
on Ashland creek ceased over
flowing last week end, about a
month earlier than usual.

The Bruin sophomore won the

their 14th anual track and field

Seaman's time was the second

Compton, Calif., while losing to

Alabama Coliseum
Model for Portland
Portland CU.R) Portland's
proposed new $8,000,000 expo
sition-recreation center may be
modeled after the Alabama State
Coliseum in Montgomery, Ala.
James H. Polhemus, chairman
of the exposition-recreation cen
ter commission, said he had
studied around 30 such installa
tions and preferred the Alabama
facility. Two other commission
members agreed with him.
The Montgomery coliseum is a
circular building. It is built
around an arena which measures
260-by-130 feet. It has 8,528 per
manent chair seats of which 90
per cent are on the sides. At a
basketball game it can seat
11,000 and for boxing and wres
tling 13,000.
No site has yet been picked for
Portland's center.
Medford Accountant

At least two of the 12 surviving

lay which opened the twilight1
program. The Wildcats' supreme
sprinter, who matched the world
mark of 9.3 this spring at the Big
Ten Relays, then stayed out of
yesterday's century and 220.
Another fine clocking was
turned in by Southern Califor
nia's Fernando Ledesma, who
won the two mile in 8.57.7 for
the best winning time ever
turned in by a collegian. The old
mark of 8:58 also was set by
Santee in 1954.
Bob Hunt, UCLA, was second
and Ken Reiser, Oregon third.
Ledesma passed Reiser in the
fifth lap.
However, Ledesma already
had bettered that record two
weeks ago at Compton when he
was timed in 8:56.4 while plac
ing second to Horace Ashenfel
ter in the two mile at the relays.
Both Seaman . and Ledesma
smashed meet records with yes
terday's performances, the old
est to topple being Don Lash's
4:09.4 which he set in the mile
for Indiana and the Big Ten
when the dual meet was in
augurated in 1937.
Another Record
Big Don Vick of UCLA sur
passed a third meet record by
propelling the shot 56 feet 2V

The Big Ten won eight of the

the famed center court.
Hoad Off Form
In the day's opening match,
fourth-seeded Hoad, who has
been off form recently as some
Aussie officials criticized his re
cent marriage, faced dangerous
Philippe Washer, Belgian Davis
Cupper. Then southpaw Rose,
former Australian champion,
runs smack into Egypt's Jaro

champion.
Despite his recent weak show
ings, Hoad was favored over
Washer but the sixth-seeded
Drobny was favored over un
seeded Rose.
Top-seeded Tony Trabert of
Cincinnati, Ohio, who breezed
through his opening match on
Monday, seemed in for another
effortless win against South
Africa's Trevor Fancutt.
