the help to get personal yuletide
greetings from the boss.
Their answer is a handsome cook

Edinburgh, Scotland (U.R)
A safecracker who turned Com
mando to open Hermann Goer
ing's Luftwaffe headquarters
safe during World War II was
back in prison today for prac
ticing his craft in peacetime.
The skill that brought John
Ramsey, 50, the praise of Allied
intelligence chiefs 10 years ago
brought him a 10-year prison
sentence here Tuesday.
Ramsey parachuted behind
enemy lines many times to blast
open safes and lift enemy war
plans. One of his victims was
Goering, the German air chief.
But it was a different' story
when the war hero was arrested
for a $45 safe job in Glasgow.
He pleaded for leniency but the
judge said, "from your conduct
and history you can not be trust
ed to abstain from crime."
Phyllis Bernau, secretary to
John Foster Dulles, the head
man of the State Department,
was worried when the boss left
for Geneva. She thought he had
forgotten a beat-up old brief case
he always carries for good luck.
It is Phyllis' job to see that he
always carries the bag. She
couldn't find it. When the little
secretary met the big secretary
on his return, she cried: "Where
is it?" And there it was all the
time, in his hand.

Dulles returned from Geneva
in one of those big four-engined
Constellations. He transferred to
a two-engined plane for a short
hop from Washington to Gettys
burg to see the chief. Somebody
at the airport asked if the much
traveled secretary had ever been
in one of the smaller planes be
fore. A wag chirped that little
planes have been used all sum
mer to drop the secretary off in
little countries.
The Rev. Stan Lorrigan, a New
Zealand priest who stopped here
on a round the world study trip,
proudly exhibited an "inven
tion," which he called "kan
garoo pouch pockets m his
pants. Father Stan fell to fretting
about how a man puts things in
his pants pockets and everything
goes to the bottom, with the top
part wasted. So he sewed a
pocket within the pocket, where
he now carries important things
like a pen knife, keys and the
like. The other section still is
open for filtering items like
dimes) quarters , and street car
tokens.

The American Automobile As

about the man who wrote in to
an AAA approved hotel arid
asked if dogs were allowed. The
hotel man wrote back and said:
"I've been in this business for 30
years. Never have I called on
the police to eject a disorderly
dog. Never has a dog set fire to
a bed with a cigarette. I have
never found a hotel towel or
blanket in a dog's suitcase. Nor a
whiskey ring on a dresser from a
dog's bottle. Sure the dog is
welcome. .

Now Writing Book
Like most show folk, Eartha
also is writing a book about her
Cinderella life. And she wants to
concentrate on doing more dra
matic roles on the stage and TV
"I don't want to become stag
nant," she explained today. "It's
better not to stand still. You
have to make progress."
Eartha moved about her apart
ment, a doll-like figure in a blue
Japanese kimona. When she
talks she gestures with her
hands.
"My main concern is getting
the book out," she went on.
"Then I want to communicate
with myself for a while. You can
run around for so long, playing
many characters, you can lose
your true personality. I am tired
of being a gypsy I have bought
the legendary house on 92nd St.
in New York and will live there.
The book has taken me three
years for I'm a very moody per
son," she frowned. "I only write
when I feel like it."
Becomes Star
Eartha's book will tell the
story of the poor sharecropper's
daughter in South Carolina who
became a star of the Katherine
Dunham dance troupe, the dar
ling of Paris as a singer and a
Broadway star in "New Faces"
and "Mrs. Patterson."
"Years ago I dreamed of star
ring on Broadway and a friend
told me I never would in these
times. Now here I am co-star-ding
with Michael Redgrave on

Hot Weather Deodorant for Sheep, Square
Mothballs Asked by People of Britain
By ROBERT MUSEL
United Press Correspondent
London U.R) The people
have spoken! What Britain needs
is a deodorant for sheep in hot
weather and square moth balls.
Leslie Hardern, who runs a
program for inventors on the
NBC television circuit, asked
viewers to tell him what they
most wanted to see invented. To
day, from behind a small moun
tain of ideas, he authorized the
following comment for quota
tion: Who would have thought there
was a crying need for roller
skates that wouldn't roll back
while going uphill? How is it no
one ever thought of rigging up
an electric dog to scare off bur
glars when set in motion by the
breaking of an electronic beam?
As for those square mothballs,
PORTLANDER KILLED
Portland (U.R) Portland
marked up its 36th traffic fa
tality of 1955 today with the
death of William Christian, 79,
who was injured fatally when
struck by a car last night. There
were 33 fatalities at the same
time last year.

Further Troop
Cut in Far East
Tokyo (U.R) The U. S.
Army disclosed today it is cut
ting the 1st Cavalry division now
stationed in Japan by some 4,000
men in further reduction of Am
erican troop strength in the Far
East.
Reduced to "token strength"
will be the famous 7th Cavalry
Regiment and the 77th Field
Artillery batallion.
The spokesman said that men
within the regiment and the ar
tillery batallion who have serv
ed time in the Far East to return
home will be sent to the United
states.
He said others will be assign
ed to other units in the Far East
to replace rotating soldiers.
it seems that for decades people
have been dissatisfied with the
round ones because they roll
around too much.
Hardern has proof of the old
saying about the better mouse
trap. Inventor Bob Evans spent
night after night watching mice
in his kitchen blithely escaping
with chips of cheese from the
conventional mousetrap.
So Evans put the cheese under
the trap-trigger instead of on
top of it and caught every
mouse that came along.
"Did the industrialists beat a
path to his door?"
"I think they used the tele
phone," Hardern said. "But at
any rate he's sold 2,000,000
mousetraps already."
Another viewer suggested a
huge speedometer on the outside
of automobiles. It would hp bn
enough to be seen by pedestrians
who would then know how fit
the car as approaching and bet
ter estimate their chances in
jaywalking.
Cleaner Attachment
Another sent plans for an at
tachment to a vacuum cleaner
which would suck insects right
out of the air. A woman wanted
bedsheets marked so bedmaking
would be easy. A motorist
wanted a burglar alarm on the
handbrake of cars.
A girl wrote Hardern that she
would like to see someone in
vent a device that would keep
her skirts from billowing up
while riding a bicycle.
None of the men had thought
of that one.
