EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, July 10, 1956 ft ' I W 1 m Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White MAKING TELEVISION appeal to kidnaper of son, Peter, 35 days old, Mrs. Beatrice Weinberger breaks down at Mineola, N. Y, station. At left she is standing behind car riage from which child was abducted in patio of home. (International Soundphoto) FBI Can Enter Baby Kidnaping Case Wednesday Washington (U.R) At 3 p.m. EDT Wednesday, the FIB can of ficially enter the hunt for the kidnaper of the Weinberger baby. At that time, a full week will have passed since the child's abduction. Under federal 'law, a seven day waiting period must elapse before the FBI can enter a kid naping case, unless there is an immediate indication that the kidnaper fled across state lines or that some other interstate violation is involved. After sev en days, it is automatically as sumed that the criminal has fled the state where the crime was committed and the FBI may then step in. Silencs Unbroken A spokesman refused to break the official silence in Washing ton on, whether the FBI will immediately throw its full weight Wednesday into the Weinberger case. It is known, however, that G-men have been cooperating with New York state authorities and are fully abreast of developments in the case. The spokesman said that thus far no evidence has turned up to indicate that either the ran som note or the telephone con tacts made by the abductor with the Weinbergers may have been made across the state lines. Law Carries Death Penalty The federal kidnaping statute passed by Congress during a wave of national horror over the kidnap-killing of the son of Charles A. Lindbergh, carries the death penalty. A number of so-called "little Lindbergh laws" passed by states duplicate the penalty. ' FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover has pointed out that the primary interest of all authorities in such cases is the victim not the abductor. "When kidnapings occur, the first concern of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies is always the safe return of the victims," he said. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Future Syndicate, Inc.) When I m dead, my dearest. Sine bo sad songs for me; Plant no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the ireen irass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And If thou wilt, remeoiber, And if thou wilt, forget. Christina Rossetti Where did women get their reputation of being poor tippers? Certainly not in beauty shops. Indications are the girls really grow generous in the rejuvena tion establishments. A list of what are the proper tips for beauty shop operators says that after a haircut the tip should be $1. After. a permanent wave it should be S3! Following a tinting or dye job the operator should be tipped $2 or $3. Other opera tors should be tipped 15 per cent of the bill. Suppose a woman gees to a beauty shop and gets the "works." That is everything necessary to doll her up for an important date or party. I won der what is the amount of the average bill for that, plus tips? Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who wrote the song titled "The Bow ery?" A. Was written by Charles Hoyt and introduced by Harry Connor in the play titled "A Trip to Chinatown." That was in 1892. It is said that song caused a decrease in the Bowery's real estate values from which it never recovered. . . Q. My wife insists Clark Gable is in his middle 60s. I say middle 50s. Your decision, please. A. You win the stogies, sir. Mr. Gable was born in Cadiz, Ohio, on Feb. 1, 1901. Clark is the most cele brated man ever Born; in Cadiz but the cleverest fellow ever born there was Percy Hammond, the drama critic. Q. I have seen Joe Frisco in night clubs many times but has he ever been in a film or on the stage? A. Joe played in a film titled "Atlantic City." He was a big time vaude ville star for many years. Horses and Women The problem of the wrinkled skirt has not been solved. Well and expensively dressed females who look marvelous from a front view suffer so much from wrin kled skirts that from the rear they look as if they had been sleeping on a park bench. When will some textile inventive gen ius rectify this situation for our long suffering" countrywomen. In the meanwhile, why not have emergency skirt pressing sta tions in all department stores, tailor shops and powder rooms? Big Baby . Brooklynite whose recently arrived female infant weighed 12 pounds at birth is afraid her daughter may develop into a "fat girl." That is not necessarily so. Many infants who weigh as much as 12 pounds at birth grow to be ndrmal sized adults. Please Note With reference to her age Paulette ,Goddard frequently says, "How old I am is no mys tery. Look in the reference books." The books say Paulette is 45. However, a recent descrip tion of Miss Goddard says: she "looks 30 in a good light and 35 in a bad light." This brings to mind the old saying, "A man is as old as he feels and a wom an as old as she looks in a good light." Understanding men When a girl has seven broth ers does it aid her in her future handling of men? A young wom an of Manhattan who has seven brothers says it definitely does. She attributes her subsequent success in man handling to hav ing made a study of her broth ers. She says one of the most im portant things for a woman to learn is "how to fight for her rights."

Treatment of Trees Advised by July IS All stone fruit trees in the valley should be treated for peach root borers, earwigs, and ants by July 15, according to Clifford B. Cordy, county hort icultural agent. Growers are advised to use eight pounds of 50 per cent DDT per 100 gallons of water. For places where only a few trees need treatment, solution should consist of one-quarter pound of 50 per cent DDT in three gal lons of water. The splution can be applied with handspray or sloshed onto trunks and crotches, Cordy said. Trunks should be soaked enough so that some spray runs off into the soil. The spray will need to be repeated again about Aug. 10, Cordy added. Court Records POLICE COURT Walter Clayton Hurlbut, excessive noise, $10.

City of Portland Air Pollution Eyed Portland (U.R) A federal technical expert on air pollution today started a week-long prelim inary survey of what the city of Portland needs to reduce, and prevent, air pollution in the area. Jean Schueneman stated spe cifically that his recommenda tions would be purely advisory. The city health bureau invited him to make the study. Schueneman said he would at tempt to determine three things: 1. Whether a more extensive air pollution survey should be conducted. 2. Whether the local program of air pollution control .should be expanded at the present time or whether this should be post poned until results of additional research are available. 3. What form an air pollution program s h o u 1 take and what staff and budget would be necessary to do the job, if it is to be done.
