Mitchum insists he enjoyed his

Yet he has a few other well
honed remarks about Europe
that might quiver the travel ag

He thinks Europe is noisy, the
citizens money-grabbers (except
in Spain), the food not so fabu

dry cleaning terrible.

traveler said as he slouched, eyes

Smith College tourist."
Not too long ago Mitch was a
near-penniless itinerant hopping
a freight to California. But today
the continent-hopper lounged in
a Frenc hsidewalk cafe (Beverly
Hills version), sipping French
pernod (best described as a lethal
soda) and discussing life in. Eu
rope. He even tossed around
French and Italian phrases as
easily as the unprintables that
often pepper his conversation.
"In Genoa they were refur
bishing, the sewer system out
side my hotel and the Italians
were talking at the top of their
cultured baritone voice s,"
Mitchum said.

"The Swedes are a little em
barrassed to be- caught working
so they work at night cutting
rock in the streets. In Paris I
could hear somebody rattling
cups outside our hotel door. It
turned out to be the cafe down
stairs. You can hear everybody.
"I came home to California,"
he said, "to get a good night's
sleep."
Then there was "livestock
crawling around the salad." And
his sons didn't like the trip be
cause "the milk had lumps in
it, and their eyes got infected
from swimming at the French
Riviera the . sewer empties
there."
"Ah, the gay and golden cote
d'azur," sighed the actor:
"People were always short
changing my wife," he con
tinued. "Except in Spain. They
don't cheat. They're too proud.
"The Swedes are kind of smug
and superior. The Spaniards are
gracious and wonderful. It's
great for a public freak like me
to walk around Spain. They en
joy your being there."

SOUGHT Ralph Reno, 27,
ex-convict accused of crush
ing his 57 -year -old father's
skull and stabbing him twice,
is believed to be holding his
34-year-old stepmother as
hostage. Fighting for his life
in Hollywood General Hospi
tal, Andrew Reno gasped,
"My son has death in his
eyes. If you find him shoot
him down like a dog."
Police Search for
Suspected Killer
Of Stepmother '
Los Angeles (U.R) Police
said today they are convinced
that a 27-year-old ex-convict who
stabbed his father also has kill
ed his youthful stepmother. The
father urged police to "shoot him
down like a dog," if they find
his son.
An all points bulletin was out
for Ralph Reno, wanted for stab
bing his father, Andrew Reno,
57, who is in critical condition
in General hospital.
"We're convinced he killed his
stepmother, Mrs. Stella Reno,"
said Detective Lt. C. C. Forbes.
The attractive 34-year-old Mrs.
Reno disappeared shortly before
the stabbing Wednesday night.
She has not been seen since.
When the son attacked his fath
er with a butcher knife, he told
him:
Something Terrible
"I love you, Dad, but I've got
to kill you. I've done something
terrible. She has no clothes on.
I'll get the gas chamber anyway!"
The elder Reno was stabbed
in the chest and back and suf
fered a skull fracture in a fran
tic fight to save himself from
death at his son's hands.
"My son had death in his eyes"
the father said. "If you find him
shoot him down like a dog. He's
been in trouble all his life. I've
been supporting him all his life.
He's a bum."
The younger Reno served two
years in the federal reformatory
at El Reno, Okla., for car theft
and also served a term in San
Quentin prison for burglary, po
lice said.
One Complaint
Reno said that his wife of 12
years and son got along 11 right
although she once complained
about the youth, "look at his
eyes, I think he's on dope."
The father said when his son
said he had done "something ter
rible" and "she has no clothes
on," he told him, "for God's sake
wrap her in a blanket."
At first police thought that
the ex-convict may have kidnap
ped his stepmother and held her
hostage as he fled in a black
and whie automobile carrying
South Carolina license plates.
But Forbes said later they be
lieved Reno had killed the wo
man before he attacked his fa
ther. North Dakota's cattle popula
tior continued its upward trend
for the fourth straight year in
1954, according to the Agricul
ture Department marketing serv

Fund Drive Aids
Campfire Girls
Ashland A goal of $14,300
has been set up for the current
Ashland-Talent Youth Fund
drive. This fund, which was
figured on the actual budgetary
needs of the Girl Scouts, Boy
Scouts, Campfire Girls, and the
YMCA, will be divided on that
basis at the campaign's end.
One of these groups, the
Campfire Girls, is for all girls
who are in the fifth grade at
school or are 10 years old.
The girls are assisted by a
Guardian and usually are spon
sored by one or a group of in
dividuals or by another organi
zation such at the PTA or any
one of the various service clubs.
Once a Campfire Girl, work
is begun on earning credits or
honors toward the four ranks in
the organization. These ranks,
Trail Seeker, Wood Gatherer,
Fire Maker, and Torch Bearer,
are emblematic of the work and
function of each group.
Honors are earned by doing
useful deeds in the home, school
or community. They may be
earned in seven crafts, includ
ing Home, Outdoors, Creative
Arts, Frontiers, Business, Sports
and Games, and Citizenship.
Campfire Girls have "little
sisters" called Bluebirds, and
"big sisters',' belonging to the
Horizon Club.

The baby, of course, cannot get

he will get a good spanking if he
leaves the crib before I get
home. It seems perfectly safe to
leave them. I lock the doors so
no one can get in and I rarely

Dulles Said Sowing
Seeds of Suspicion
Tkyo (U.R) Communist
China's official newspaper today
accused U. S. Secretary of State
John -Foster Dulles of sowing
"seeds of suspicion" between
East and West.
Radio Peiping broadcast a
summary of an editorial appear
ing in the Peiping Peoples Daily
criticizing Dulles' speech to the
American Legion convention at
Miami.
"There is no question that Dul
les' speech last Monday was aim
ed at destroying the good atmos
phere created after the Geneva
conference," the editorial said.

Ford Lifeguard design
The fine car at half the
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
C. B.
(A) No, I think your husband
is absolutely right.
Locking the doors of your
house, for instance, merely in
creases the danger. What would
happen to the children if fire
breaks out? Even if the older
child called for help, it might be
too late to save them.
Nor can you guarantee the
fear of a "good spanking" will
keep your son in his crib. If he
leaves the crib, he could get into
all kinds of trouble.
Play safe. Don't leave the
children out of earshot until
they are much older.
