Joa believes his plan for a four-hour day may go a long way toward solving the in creasing problems of old age and retirement. "If a skilled, experienced worker can't" keep up an eight hour pace, don't throw the work er away," he said. "Change the pace." That's what Joa has done at his Lake Wales, Fla., plant, where he produces precision ma chinery. Pensioners past the or dinary retirement age work a four-hour shift, morning or after noon. Part of the staff consists of Soviet Plane Takes 'Goodies' to Envoys Geneva (U.R) Every day a Soviet plane lands at Geneva airport as part of the Russian "gastronomic airlift." It is heavy with Russian food: Fresh fish from the Baltic and Caspai, sturgeon from the Volga, vegetables from the Ukraine and special containers of soft waters in which to cook them. The Russians claim there is nothing like Moscow water to soften up the vegetables and make the pastry rise. The plane includes vodka, Russian cheese, Crimean wines and gallons of Russian mineral water. The Russian gastronomic of fensive, however, has some French critics here. The French especially complain the Russian pastry is too heavy, the wine is not matured enough .and the Russian cognac is not good. younger employees working a full eight hours to insure continu ity. Joa, here for a speech about his plan, said it calls for "grad ual retirement." Forced retire ment at an arbitrary age, he said, is "one of society's greatest crimes." "You give a man a gold watch on his retirement, so he can sit and listen to it tick," Joa said. It's a fast trip down hill." When this was an agricultural country, he said, grandpa retired gradually, and gave the benefit of his accumulated wisdom to his sons. Accent en Youth Now. in this industrial age, the accent is on youth, Joa said, and industry wastes a golden asset in the skills of its senior employees. ' Joa said the four-hour shift has paid off well at his Lake Wales plant. The younger employees learn to become skilled mechan ics from the older men who have spent long years acquiring their know-how. "The older men impart their knowledge with pride," Joa said. "They've got real job security, and they know the younger men aren't going to beat them out. So they hold back nothing." Perhaps Joa places a higher premium on skill than some man ufacturers do. He was born in the Black Forest country of Ger many, -where tradition reveres the skilled craftsman. He got his master's degree in mechanical engineering in Ger many, along with a doctorate in political science, and came to this country in 1924 to become a consulting engineer in Wisconsin.

Got Restless Joa, 52, an energetic man with an interest in everything around him, went to Florida for his health a few years ago. But he got restless. The woods were full of retired mechanics and machinists," he said. "And they were bored stiff. So I set up the Lake Wales oper ation and the four-hour shift. Joa's grandfather, a German builder and architect, remarried at the age of 65 and fathered three more children for a total of 19. Among the three was Joa's mother. "So you might say that if grandpa had retired at the age of 65," Joa said, "I wouldn't be here." Bridges Defense Closes Arguments San Francisco (U.R) Harry Bridges' defense yesterday as- serted it would be a "mockery of the judicial process" to find the ILWU president guilty of concealing Communist party membership and strip him of United States citizenship. Chief Defense Counsel Telford Taylor, in presenting final argu ments, asserted tnat the gov ernments evidence against the Australian-born labor leader "does not leave the matter in doubt." Bridges has been charged with fraudulently obtaining U. S. citi zenship by lying about Commu nist party membership. Assistant U. S. Attorney Lynn Gillard maintained the defense had not met "head on" direct evidence presented by the gov ernment, and that the 54-year- old longshore leader's testimony was impeached 30 times by testi mony during the current trial or at previous hearings. The chief prosecutor was to complete his arguments this morning in San Francisco fed eral court . . . after which Judge Louis Goodman is expected to take the three-week-old case un der submission. Logger Charged With Reckless Driving Coquille, Ore. (U.R) Reck less driving charges were filed against a Coquille man in Co quille justice court yesterday after two huge logs slipped off his logging truck on Highway 42, seriously Injuring three occu pants of an automobile. The auto, knocked off the highway, was demolished. The charges were filed against Calvin Farrin. He was driving about two miles south of Co quille when his truck struck an other truck a glancing blow; which broke the log binders. The two logs crashed into a vehicle driven by Mrs. Ellen Farmer, 55, causing severe head lacerations to her and her grand son, Allan Farmer, 2. The worn an's husband, Allan, who had lost a hand earlier in the day in a trimsaw accident at a saw mill, suffered broken ribs and lacerations. The Farmers are from Bridge, Ore.

Director Chiropractic Physician , Foreign Courts Doing Good Job With U. S. Cases Washington (U.R) A Senate committee reports that' agree ments giving foreign countries criminal jurisdiction over U.S. troops are generally operating "satisfactorily." An Armed Services subcom mittee, headed by Sen. San. Er vin (N.C.) was set up earlier this year to look into the operation of the agreements the United States has with some 60 countries. The so-called "status of forces" agreements have been criticized by some congressmen on the grounds that they deprive American servicemen of their constitutional rights. The subcommittee said that it found that generally the agree ments are "operating satisfac torily" and that the exercise of foreign criminal jurisdiction has not had an adverse effect on the morale and efficiency of American troops." The subcommittee said, how ever, that in two countries Turkey and French Morocco there have been delays in bring ing U.S. servicemen to trial. During the period from De cember, 1953, to December 1954, the report said, there were 7,416 ouenses by American service men involving foreign laws or subjects. About 5,370 of these were traffic violations. Of these offenses, the report said, only 20 per cent were tried by foreign courts. Waivers were granted in the others. And out of the cases tried by foreign courts, the report said, only 77 American servicemen received jail sentences that were not suspended. On The Side &y e. v Duriin9 (Distributed by Kmf 'Mtorae Syndicate, Inc.) Portland Planners Like South Auditorium Site Portland (U.R) The 24-acre south auditorium site was rec ommended by the City Planning commission yesterday for Port land's $8,000,000 exposition-rec reation center. The tract lies be tween Southwest Market and Lincoln sts. and Third and Front aves. How can the Western gam bling joint maestros afford to pay entertainers in their night clubs such abnormal salaries as $25,000 and $50,000 a week? A possible aid to understanding this fantastic situation is a state ment made by Richard Canfield, celebrated gambling house oper ator of the yesteryear. Said Can field, "Every time a roulette Mtheel is spun, the percentage on a 36 inch wheel is 5 519 per cent against the player. I get 5 519 per cent on my money every time a roulette wheel is spun." Horses ft Women Originators of artificial aids to feminine appearance continue to display amazing ingenuity. Now there has been originated a "falsie" type of garment that makes it possible for any woman to feature a figure resembling that of Marilyn Monroe. It is a corset with built in curves. What would be a good slogan for this remarkable garment? How about, "You, too, can be a Mari lyn Monroe?" What, no good you say? Well, how about this, "Go forth looking like Sheree North?"

One of the long limbed chorines decorating the floor show at Lou Walter's Latin Quarter. Good Little Man The Archie Moore-Bobo Olson pugilistic brawl once more brought up the question of the chances of a "good little man" defeating a "good big man." A highly interesting example of a good little man emerging trium phant was when Bob Fitzsim mons floored Jim Corbett at Car son City, Nev., on St. Patrick's Day, 1897. For that classic bout Fitzsimmons entered the ring weighing 156 pounds. Corbett weighed 187. Yes, sir, the good big man outweighed the good little man by just about 30 pounds. Yet the big fellow was knocked flatter than a little thin pancake.. So it can be done. So They Say Sagittarius (November 23-De-cember 22) women crave little attentions and keep hoping chiv alry is not dead as alleged. For a Sagittarian beauty, open doors, light her cigaret, help her off and on with her coat, assist her to alight from automobiles and seat her at tables. That will get you off to a good start with her. How ever, if you marry the girl don't think you can cut down on the "little attentions." No, sir, you have to follow that line con stantly if you want to live even moderately happy with a Sagit tarian. Or, so say the stargazers. Briefly As to the first genuinely blue rose produced, it is that known as the "The Prelude" grown by Harry Wheatcroft of Notting ham, England. by 'Plight' of Dairy Farmer Liked New Jersey Demo Washington (U.R) Rep. Tumulty says the Voice of Amer ica should be stricken with "laryngitis" for telling the world that U.S. dairy farmers aren't trying to make a lot of money. The New Jersey Democrat says: "Why, everybody knows the symbol of prosperity is the big butter and egg man." The controversy was set off when the voice described the life of dairy farmers. The broad cast said "American farmers don't get into the dairy business to make vast sums of money but to establish a way of life." Wealthiest People Tumulty, who admits he knows nothing about farming except that "cows produce milk," said dairy farmers are some of the "wealthiest people in the country. It's a way of life all right," he said. "I think it's a pretty good one." Buying a bottle of milk or a pound of butter is like trying to get a gold bar from Fort Knox, Tumulty said. And those com plaining about the plight of dairy farmers, he said, make it appear they are "down to the last yacht." Rep. August Andresen, a lead ing . dairy congressman, dis agreed. He said the Voice of America was exactly right. "I don't know many of them that do get rich," said the Minne sota Republican. "The average dairy farmer just makes a living, applying a lot of hard work." !fxf enson Approved Washington (U.R) ThV House Agriculture committee) has voted 27 to 4 for a four-year extension of the federal Sugar Act. The act carries a provision for increased marketing quotas for domestic producing areas. The legislation would set up a formula to grant domestic growers in mainland cane and sugar beet areas, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands the right to market about 100,0000 extra tons of sugar in 1956 the last , year of the current Sugar Act.- Political Prisoners Released in Bolivia La Paz, Bolivia (U.R) A group of 50 prominent political pris oners in Bolivia have been re leased. The group includes for mer President Nestor Guillen. The release of the prisoners was part of the observance of the ninth anniversary of the death of President Gualberto Villar roel.
