t Wednesday, January 18, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN a arte o Ore Sampling Official arena A Grant Reoommendation of Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent JUT,," f Hollywood (U.R) The smash surprise comedy hit of the tele vision season turned out to be VTl&Zw-S'"1 a rolypoloy .J&fxii movie director V' V. f , who refuses to be made into a bigger star. Nobody was more amazed than Alfred Hitchcock, the master of Aline Mosby movie whodu nits, when he became the only new successful TV personality by introducing bis drama series on CBS-TV and poking fun at the commercials. But while other new stars would eargerly push onward and upward, Hitchcock admitted to day he's resting on his ratings. "Yes, there's been talk about my emceeing an entire 'spectac ular," the English film maker confessed in his droll, pixie-ish manner. Hitchcock Sought "The network people also wanted me to do a comedy show just by myself. But that would be a mistake. I would be drift ing into a field in which I shouldn't be, I am a director." Hitchcock, a veteran of such memorable hits as "The 39 Steps," "The Lady Vanishes" and "Rear Window,' was asked to direct a TV series beginning last fall and, "The offer was so good my agent couldnt resist it." Because of his full length movie work, Hitchcock had time to direct only four of the first 39 TV films for "Alfred Hitch cock Presents." He hired other directors for the other films, but he wasn't worried about the public thinking he made them alL Reputation Protected "I protect my reputation by in troducing each story and the commercials," he explained. "I also felt that because the format is rather macabre, we should balance the ' stories with some comedy introductions. And it makes the show a little differ ent." Hitch admits the sponsor "sometimes gets a little nervous" about his jibes at the commer cials until he reads the high ratings! Once the director shrug ged on the program. "The views of the sponsor on this program are entirely his."

Appling Testifies On Telephone Call From Washington By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The recommen dation on which the Interior De partment granted patents to 15 disputed Al Sarena mining claims in Rogue River National Forest was made by the bureau of mines official who supervised ore sampling of the claims, con gressional investigators were told Tuesday as they resumed hearings on the controversal case. R. N. Appling, formerly head of the bureau's Grants Pass of fice but now stationed at Spo kane, was on the witness stand all afternoon. Applinj said short ly before he completed a re port on the results of an assay of the disputed claims, he re ceived a long distance telephone call from Clarence A. Davis, who was then the department solici tor in Washington, D.C. Thought Assays Good "Mr. Davis phoned me on Dec. 29 and asked about the sampling and the assay results," explained Appling. "I said (to David) I though the assays were sufficiently good to warrant exploration of the prop erty," added Appling later. Appling was referring to as says results he had received from A. W. Williams Inspection Co. of Mobile. Appling's writ ten report was sent from his Grants Pass office to his superior at Spokane Jan. 2 and forward ed to Washington Jan. 5, where it was received Jan. 8. Solicitor Davis rendered the department's decision, ordering the 15 claims paten te to the min ing company, on Jan. 6. While these basic facts were nailed down in Tuesday's hear ing, committee members differed sharply over Appling's qualifica tions to advise Davis about the claims, as well as over other aspects of the dispute. When Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-N.M.) asked Appling if he knew what the mining law re quires, Appling said he had never read the law and was un sure of its requirements. Goldwater, trying to point out that the law required only that a mineral discovery be proved rather than that the minerals be of certain commercial pro portions, asked Appling if he was aware of this. "No, sir," replied the witness. "And you are with the Bureau of Mines?" asked the senator. "As I said, I've had very little to do with patent cases," App ling responded. Later, under other question ing, Appling pointed out that as a graduate geologist from the University of Oregon, he had had experience in judging min eral values. At another point, Appling said he had appraised -the entire group of Al Sarena claims the eight undisputed, as well as the 15 in dispute. "Based upon the apparent size of the body (or ore) ' and the assays I saw," he said, "I thought it was worthy of exploration." Assistant Counsel Robert Red wine suggested that Appling "went beyond your instructions"' when taking into account the eight adjacent undisputed claims. "It seemed to me the whole property was to be developed," Appling said. Noted As 'Afterthought' Much questioning Tuesday centered on the phone call be tween Davis and Appling, which Appling had noted "as an after thought" in his written report on the assay results. The "after thought" was typed at the end of the report apparently on a typewriter other than the one used on the main body of the re port. Appling swore he added it on one of two typewriters in his office, and that it had not been added in Washington, D.C, to support his testimony that Davis had sought his counsel about the value of the claims. The commit tee ordered the report sent to the F.B.I. to determine the type writers on which it was written. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed Sy King Future Syndicate.

Isn't it a fact! that the baby whose first word is either "Mama" or "Papa" is the exception rather than the rule? What was the first word ut tered by your baby? I heard of a baby whose first spoken word was "Jiggs!" That was the name of the family dog. I also heard o a baby whose first word spoken at the age of 11 weeks was "Hel lo!" Please Note Knute pronounced Kanute) Rockne topped all coaches in making substitutions. In 1928 in a game between Notre Dame and Loyola university in New Orleans, Rockne changed his quarterback six times in 36 sec onds! With 36 seconds to go to the end of the game, the score was 6 to 6. Rockne then sent in six quarterbacks in quick succes sion, each with a different play. The sixth quarterback substitut ed. Johnny Niemic, scored and won the game.

So They Say Women born under Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 23) are spotlight hunters. Their greatest aim is to be the center of attraction. If surrounded by fewer than six men at a cocktail party, a Scor pio woman feels like a wallflow er. Thats' why the Scorpio-born females go fo? the deep-plunging neckline, tight fitting gowns, queen size "falsies" and power ful, provocative perfumes. Or, so say the stargazers. Breeding Most of a man's good charac teristics are inherited from his mother. A healthy intelligent woman of strong character will have an outstanding son regard less of the make-up of his father. So maintained Col. E. R. Brad ley, who carried the thought in to the breeding of thorough breds. "Everything depends on the dam," he frequently said. The colonel bred many great race horses, including four Ken tucky Derby winners. Asides "I'll have a ham and cheese sandwich on rye and no lettuce," I said to the lunch counter at tendant. Said he: "Mister, you are making a mistake in not tak ing lettuce. It contains vitamins, E, B, G and and C." . . . All in telligent, discerning experienced pipe smokers have a number of pipes which they smoke alter nately. Bing Crosby carries four pipes with him at all times. Sidelights "I'm from Missouri, you've got to show me" was first said by W. D. Vandiver, representative from Missouri, in a speech before the house of representatives ... A cigar smoked after dinner seems to be from two to three times better than it really is. That is why the best place to introduce a new brand of cigars is in restaurants.
