Douglas Says Choice Better Than Nothing Hollywood (U.R) Kirk Douglas, picked by the Harvard Lampoon as the worst actor of 1955, said today he considered it better to be named the worst than not to be named at all. Douglas, who "won" his acco lade from Lampoon for perform ances in "Uiysses" and "The Indian Fighter," quoted from the 18th century poet, John Wolcot: "What rage for fame attends both great andi small! Better be damned than men tioned not at all." Debbie Reynolds, named the worst actress of 1955 for "Hit The Deck!" and "Susan Slept Here," was unavailable for comment. Providence, R. I.

Comment On This and That By tjfARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer in tefN Pi (SO Washington U.R) The Smiths are forever popping up the news, but how often do you hear about the Jones boys? That's "what kicks up the tiger An my new friend, Barry Jones. "Dad blame it," he said, "the Smith 1 ! XI Harman Nichols ooys are in me papers all the time. But some of them are hybrid. Some spell It 'Smith' and some "Smythe" and ever which way. "But there is only one way to spell 'Jones' unless you spell it backward like 'Senoj.' And that way, it isn't proper and also does not make much sense." Barry would like you all to know that he is among the "un counted millions" of Jones boys. No Foul Balls "And there isn't a foul ball or hybrid in the flock," he said. Barry was here to toot a horn, for a new picture he is starring in. Produced by United Artists, it is called 'Alexander The Great." Our man plays the role of Aristotle, who was supposed to be Alexander's teacher, before the young man kicked his horse in the flanks and went gallop - ing down the glory road. But getting back to the Jonses. Barry says he's looked up the family tree "which is consider ably way up there." "Near as I can figure," he aid, "is that it used to be spelled 'Jehan or something like that." On ih M.OV Barry, a Britisher, is proud to wear the badge of the Jones clan. Engine Derailed Near Oakridge : Oakridge (U.R) A two unit diesel locomotive, sweeping the Southern Pacific's main line clear of snow, was derailed about 30 miles east of here yes terday afternoon, blocking pas sage of trains through the Cas cades for nearly eight hours. No one was injured in the mishap. The derailment occurred near Cinder Till at the 4,000 foot level where snow is piled up along the tracks in 15-foot drifts. .The engine was one of several that has been working around the clock to keep the tracks open over the Cascade summit, where a snow slide only a week ago nearly engulf ed a freight train and forced closure of the line. Railroad officials said the en gine was equipped with a flang er for sweeping the tracks clear of snow. The flanger apparently struck a snow covered stum)) which in turn uprooted three sections of track and turned the locomotive over. A relief train and crane from Eugene was rushed, to the scene. Electric Trains Said For Boys Over Eight : Madison, Wis. (U.R) If your son got an electric train for Christmas and he's less than eight years old, he would have been better off with a wooden train. - - That's the opinion of Viola Hunt, family life specialist at the University of Wisconsin. She said that a boy "is not ready for an electric train until ho s about eight or nine years old. Until then, he'll be happier with a wooden train he can push around by himself." Miss Hunt said that toys, like clothing, should fit the child who receives them. S Dead tine Sunday Classified Is at iau in nm Mnnrlav for noon aaiurua;. ... . - ttonday; other day 6:30 previous day. His early life wasn't a very happy one, unless you like being happy as a shipping clerk. World War I came and Barry went. "Somehow I never married," said the balding old-timer. It's just that between here and Brit ain and everywhere I never have found the time to settle down." One time way back there, when he was coming up as a boy, a member of the royalty he will have you know a lady from higher up in London so ciety put her nose glasses on, hopped up in her box seat and said: .
