On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distritortad fc Kiaf tr Syndic. Iac
Withdraw mot yet tfcos Mps and
fingers
Whose touch to mine is capture's
spell;
Life's Jot for as a moment lingers
And death seems In the word
farewell.
Thomas. Campbell.
To what extent does a change
from a real name to a profes
sional name influence the career
of a person? Those ' who have
made a study of-the situation
claim such a chance is of major
importance. For example, they
say when Frances Gumm chang
ed her name to Judy Garland
it greatly increased , the speed
of her climb up the ladder of
fame. The same they claim, is
true of Olga Cronk who changed
her name to Claire Windsor.
,Also of Dora Goldberg who be
came world famous with the
professional name of Nora
Bayes. The' fact is the great
majority - of the stars in - the
theatrical world of the past and
ptesent have utilized profession
al names. Incidentally, I wonder
if that extremely brilliant and
versatile actress who stoutly
adheres to her real name of
Elaine Strich would be further
advanced if she had changed it?
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. How
tall is Esther Williams,, the
swimming actress? A. Five feet,
seven inches. . . . Q. So you
know your New York. Tell us
what luxury hotel' in Manhat
tan is named after a former
captain of . waiters? Ai Easy
question. That's the Hotel Pierre
at 61st St. and 5th Ave. It was
named in honor of Charles
Pierre, celebrated captain of
waiters .of the yesteryear at
Sherry's and the Cafe Martin.
. . . Q. A Jeffersonvalle, IncL,
woman gave birth to four chil
dren in eleven" months. That is
two sets of twins. Is it a rec
ord? A. Might be a record for
birth of twins but not of num
ber of children. Mrs. Olivia
Dionne of Canada gave birth to
six children in eleven months,
one single birth and one of quin
tuplets. Among tfeo Married
All over the world more wom
en are seeking divorces than
men. This is true, even in Scot
' land where, until now, the wom
en have never been very divorce
minded. It is said that for those
mil lliailiCU WJ1CI1 111 U1CU carijr
twenties, the 10th year, is the
most dangerous threat ; to a
happy marriage. There are more
divorces in the 30 to 35 year
old age group than any other.
What is your theory- as to the
increase in women seeking ' a
divorce? I regret I must take
a rather cynical view of the
situation. I think it is because
so many married women now
have their own pay checks. Pre
viously innumerable women
though not happy or contented
stayed married for security rea
sons. '
Luck
Luck, good or bad, seems to
run in streaks. What' is the
worst streak of bad luck .you
ever had? I heard of a man in
Kentucky who in one week lost
his job, had his house burned
to the ground and became in
volved in a highway accident
in which his car was completely
smashed. To top the week off,
all of his seven children became
sick with chickenpox.
Jockeys
Steeplechase and hurdle
"jockeys are paid more per
mount than flat race 5 jockeys.
The riders of jumpers get $100
for a winning mount, $80 forj
second, $70 for .third. Fifty for i
an also ran. The flat race
jockeys get $50 for a winner,
$35 for second, $25 for- third.
Twenty for an also ran.'.
Is It Lova?. '.
Now the highly intense croon
er Johnnie Ray and a British
band canary named Sylvia Drew
say they are very much in love
with each other and would like
to" get married but are afraid
their separate careers wmv inter
fere. Nonsense! Makes you think
the "romance" is all a publicity
gag. As for the careers, why
don't they co-star? If they are
not sufficiently in love to do
that, why even think of marri
age. Some of the happiest mar
riages in the entertainment
world have been those of co-
stars. That is because they were
off to a good start, both having
a willingness to make sacrifices
for the common interests.
Heredity
Indications of the results of
heredity are always interesting.
A young woman I know is the
daughter of a district attorney.
She quite apparently has in
herited her father's talent in
cross examination. She can ask
more questions in. five minutes
than the average person can in
five hours. After 15 minutes of
conversation with a stranger she
usually has learned so much
about him by her cross exam
ination that she is all ready to
write his biography. Incident
ally, although a smart looker,
she is not yet married. Con
sider the cross examination her
husband is going to get when
he comes home after a night out
with the boys.
Cutlass Has Value
Aboard Submarine
Groton, Conn. (U.R) Most
Navy men would consider a
Civil War vintage cutlass a use
less weapon aboard a submarine,
but Capt. Eric L. Barr, Jr., IN
(retired)," thinks differently. -
Barr, twice winner of the
Navy Cross and wartime skipper
of the submarine Bluegill, al
ways carried a supply of these
blades. He said they ' were
"mighty valuable weapons."
Now security director of the
electric boat division of the Gen
eral Dynamics Corp, Barr tells
this story of how his crew of the
old Bluegill made use of the old
'swords: -
"In May, 1945 when Japan
ese targets were becoming
harder and harder to find, my
crew came upon an island the
Japs apparently had abandoned.
"We struck on this idea sub
marines had done darn near
everything else in the, war, why
not a it invasion!" ' :- ' i
Barr armed his invaders with
the cutlasses, and soon the word
was flashed from the island:
"Bluegill Island,- formerly . Pi
rates Island . . . captured. Stars
and Stripes hoisted with appro
priate ceremony ... Strike off
invasion medals. On to Tokyo!"
In later raids in Indo-China
when submarines went ashore to
blow . up bridges and cut rails,
the men. of the Bluegill were
armed again with swords. - -'
"They were mighty valuable
weapons as morale-builders
and symbols of Navy tradition,"
Barr said. .

than that of the United States. I

LOBBY HOTEL JACKSON
Washington (U.R) Congress
started its stretch drive toward
adjournment today with parts of
President Eisenhower's domes
tic program still in serious trou
ble.
However, many of the items
which led President Eisenhower
to complain about Democratic
inaction last week are sure to
pass in some form. Some will
bear more of the imprint of
the Democratic majority in Con
gress than of the administration
As Congress returned from its
Independence Day holiday, it
was generally expected that no
more than four weeks would be
needed for the mop-up and that
adjournment would come by
July 30 or very soon thereafter,
Three in Serious Trouble
The serious illness of Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B
Johnson (Tex.), was not expect
ed to delay adjournment. The
Democratic Whip, Earle C. Cle
ments (Ky.) is filling in for John
son. Some administration proposals
already have been written off.
Those still alive include three in
serious trouble .public hous
ing, federal aid for school con
struction, and liberalization of
the refugee law. A solution of
the' impasse which has stalled
the housing bill in the House is
expected. School and refugee
legislation appear likely to die.
Mr. Eisenhower included all
three of those measures in his
list last week of legislation on
which Congress had taken no
final action. Here is the status of
some of the others:
Military Reserve Training:
The House skirted the segrega
tion issue which" previously stall
ed this bill and passed it Friday.
The Senate Armed Services com
mittee starts hearings Thursday.
Senate passage is assured.
Highways: The Senate junked
the administration plan for a
bond-issuing highway corpora
tion and passed a , Democratic
substitute. The House is still
working on the issue. Eventual
enactment of a bill without the
administration plan is fairly certain.
Foreign Aid: Both House
and Senate have passed bills
closely in line:, with administra
tion requests. Differences ' be
tween the two probably will be
worked out this week. Sterner
requests are expected oh the' follow-up
appropriation bill.
Minimum Wage: The Senate
passed a bill to raise the 75-cent
minimum to $1, compared with
the administration proposal of
90 cents. The House is expected
to approve 90 cents or $1 this
month.
Although congressional fire
works this year have crackled
over domestic issues,, the Senate
Democratic leadership regards
foreign policy as the major work
of Congress this session. In this
area, Congress has approved the
administration's Formosa reso
lution and its foreign trade pro
gram. The Senate has ratified the
Paris pacts and the Austrian,
Southeast Asia and ' Formosa
treaties. The foreign aid bill is
on the verge of passage.
Draft Law Extended
Other major-. legislation ron
which Congress has completed
action includes bills extending
the draft law. renewing excise
and corporate income tax rates,
raising federal pay scales and ex
tending the government reorgan
ization law.
The .House has passed a ' bill
to restore 90 per cent farm price
supports for basic ctods and ex
pects to pass a bill to liberalize
the old age insurance rbgram.
Senate action this year is unlike
ly on either.
Oveross Case Begins
Again After Recess
Salem (U.R) The murder
trial of Casper A.: Oveross re
sumed today after a recess over
the holidays.
Testimony presented by the
state today was expected to con
cern ownership of a 30-30 rifle
which was found in Pudding
creek near Pratum on May 8.
The state claims it is the weapon
that fired the fatal bullet at Er
vin Kaser as he sat in his car in
the driveway of his home near
Silverton last Feb. 17.
Oveross blamed Kaser, wit
nesses have testified, for break
ing up his home. -
