On The Side By E. V. DURLING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, inc.) Note the publication of a pam phlet titled "Guide To Packing." That's for me. I am going to lean to pack my own suitcase. I wish to achieve my independence in this respect. My girl friend frequently threatens to make me do my own packing. This sends a shudder through my frail frame. However, I am going to master the art of packing so when my matrimonial mate says, "no comment please, or I'll make you do your own packing." I'll reply, "and, so what?" or, words to that effect. Warning Don't consume alcoholic liq uors when driving in Florida. The courts of that stale are really throwing the book at inebriated autoists. Recently a 20-year-old drunk driver involved in a fatal accident in Flordia was given a prison sentence of 20 years: Asking Queries from clients. Q. The Louis Fourteenth restaurant in Rockefeller centre claims to be "one of the best 10 restaurants in New York" but doesn't name the other nine. What are they? A. That certainly is strictly a matter of opinion. I would say they are Luchow s, Le Pavilion, Club Twenty - One, Colony, Chambord, Chateaubriand, Lin dy's, Carlton House and Gage & Tollners. . . Q. Who starred in the original New York produc tion of "The Affairs Of Anatol" and when? A. John Barrymore. That was in 1912. Also in the cast were such distinguished act resses as Doris Keane, Margue rite Clark and Gail Kane. Asides Those with inventive talent should be interested in that book titled "Twenty -One Hundred Needed Inventions" by Raymond F. Yates. . . Before useing her current slogan of "The Last Of The Red Hot Mamas." Sophie Tucker was billed as "The Mary Garden Of Ragtime." And long before Hildegarde appeared on the entertainment scene, Anne Held was billed as "The Incom parable Anne Held." Hones And Women The flat-chested figure, pop ular among females in the 1920s, really seems due for a revival. Grace Kelly is said to be respon sible. An intense interest is re ported in a form compressing gadget called the "Diminisher." Our horses and women experts view this situation with regret and some alarm. They think the girls who have been endowed with curves by nature should continue to follow a policy of looking sweeter in a sweater. They also believe that flatten ing out said curves might be injurious to the health. Faxing By Stavros Niarchos. Picturesque shipping magnate. Followed the advice of that ancient greek who urged young men to get into a business involving ships or wo men. His brother-in-law, Aristo tle Socrates Onassis, took similar advice. Both are now millionaires. Onassis. as you know, is the man who bought the bank at Monte Carlo just for a hobby. He is also said to have suggested that Prince Rainier marry Grace Kelly. As It Was There are some things5cheap er now than 20 or more years ago. As for example.. golf balls which I note offered for $3.33 cents a dozen. I paid a dollar each for golf balls not so many years ago. That was very hard on my bankroll because I had a long drive with a terrific slice and I lost many a ball. Trade Marks Note the Mctro-Glodwyn- May er lion named "the best of all film company trademarks." It is very effective. However, my fa vorite film trademark of all time was the old mutual film com pany's winged clock with the slogan: "Mutual Movies Make Time Fly."

Washington A year or so ago a top government officer said with reference to the world sit uation that it was time for an "agonizing reappraisal" of our policies. In ordinary words that means let's look at what we've done no matter how much it hurts. Now that the second Con gress of the first four-year Eisen hower presidential term has ad journed, the voters in our 48 states might well make an ason izing reappraisal of what they did midway of the Eisenhower, term when they faced him with an opposition Congress by their votes in the 1934 election. Korea Peace Esatblished The first two years went smoothly in spite of some sharp changes in the trend of things as they had been under the pre vious administration. Inflation was halted. Price, wage, and rent controls were ended. Reduced federal expenditures made tax reductions of more than seven billions of dollars possible. A phoney truce in the Korean war was halted and actual peace es tablished. Confidence in govern ment and a stabilized economy brought investment capital out of hiding, resulting in tremend ous industrial plant expansion and more people working at higher wages than ever before in our history. Those were terrific strides to be made in less than 24 months. To a considerable extent they were made possible because the Klamath Indian Land Up for Sealed Bids Klamath Agency. Ore. (U.P.)

MEDFORD, OREGON, Congress for those two years was controlled by the president's party. The president could ask for and get legislation he needed to advance his program. That was the 83 rd Republican Con gress. Since the beginning of the new Democratic controlled 84th Con gress in 1955, President Eisen hower's legislative program has been mauled, man-handled and has frequently taken a beating. The President asked for a long-range program of highway construction and rebuilding. The opposition majority in this Con gress could not make up its mind how to disagree with the. Presi A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On By HARMAN W. NICHOLS Ufl'tcd Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) The gal who represents the nation's cap ital at the Miss America contest in Atl antic City will dis play her charms in slip covers. And no mat ter who is the local winner (39 or 32 bust or 24 inches around the midriff) her gear is bound to fit. ' It will be sleek and snugly be cause there is an adjustable gim mick called a "panel'' hindside to take care of any size bust or rear fender. Height is no prob lem. We still have scissors. All of this will spare the young lady quarrels with the man who weighs the luggage at the airport and also give her time for a coke between changes back stage. The outfit, is, in effect, a three-way deal. Garment Weighs Little The girl will, of course, carry such essentials as street clothes, shoes, p.j.'s, plus some red for the lips and pins for the hair; a toothbrush, and maybe a set of phony eye lashes, but these things don't add up to much weight." Miss Washington's three - ply garment is on the rack right now. It contains 160 yards of fluffy tulle, which weighs next to nothing. All of this was the brainchild of a local designing team known as Jo Ro Betts and Dunham. Mrs. Betts and Mr. Dunham parlayed a couple of needles and a basketful of material into good business. The embassy ladies are among their patrons. Anyhow, getting back to the it it lltllil; liiillll piSlil tjarmsn Nu tints TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1956 dent and still pass wanted high way legislation. Finally, after haggling for nearly a year and a half a bill was passed but the construction program was de layed more than a year. Impossible Situation The Eisenhower administra tion fell heir to an impossible situation in agriculture. The mandatory 90 per cent price sup port program which seemed to be needed to increase food pro duction for war was still in ef fect. The price depressing moun tain of surplus commodities in government warehouses, in idle ships, and in box cars had be come a growing multi-billion dol- This and That slip covers "or convertibles. The gals who compete in the Miss America thing must have a gown to wear down the ramp each night. They must have a different rig '.or the night they compete in talent and yet anoth er when they roll down the boardwalk in the annual parade. The utility garment starts out with uncounted yards of tulle, with a satin bodice, or topside. After that on come the slip covers for the other ensembles. The basic garment remains on most of the time, hoops drawn out. The gown hooked on for the parade can be any color, blend ing with hair and figure. The one I saw was called aqua ocean spray, whatever that is. Handy for Brides If it doesn't match the girl, radio station WWDC, which sponsors the local entry, will find something that does. Then comes the other slip cover a silk organdie business on the bottom and white satin on top with phony rose petals all around. Real flowers are against the rules. The three-in-one gown is going to cost the tab grabber S350. "If she really wanted to." Mrs. Betts said, "a girl could build this one garment up to 13." It would behandy, she said, for a bride who wanted to travel light and always be properly dressed on her honeymoon. Judith Dunkle, the Miss Wash ington of last year, said she wished she had known about putting everything in one or two suitcases. "Golly me," she said, 'it was a wonder they would let me on the plane. I even had a footlock er. Maybe I was born to early." Maybe Judy was she's all of 20 now. ilkS a.

The 83rd Congress took off the rigid controls and ; advanced surplus disposal. But the House in the first session of the opposition 84th Congress passed a bill to reinstate 90 per I cent rigid parity. The President then made some recommenda tions for farm legislation which were generally ignored and he was confronted with what he considered an impossible farm bill, which he vetoed. Finally, ! the 84th Congress passed a farm bill but not before the hassle over it had delayed its benefits i for a crop year. Result of Momentum ' , It seems likely that our pres-; ent happy state may be the re sult of momentum generated in the first two years when the j President and Congress pulled together. There are little signs here and there, in the auto in dustry and elsewhere, that our economy is not moving ahead with the vigor it had not long , ago. Our free economy is a sensi tive apparatus which invariably reacts to the stability and de-, pcndability of government. ' In view of the record which is now written in full it seems j that the logical result of careful j reappraisal would be to continue President Eisenhower in office for another four years and this time give him a Congress con trolled by his own party. Jehovah's Witness Sees Lasting Peace Salem (U.R) Permanent j peace in our time was predicted to more than 6,000 Jehovah's Witnesses by Nicholas Kovalak of New York at the closing ses sion of a four-day Northwest as sembly here Sunday. "Almost since man's begin-. ning, people have been seeking ! and praying for peace, but to . no avail," Kovalak said. "In the , last 3.361 years of recorded his tory there have been only 227 peaceful years." Kovalak, an official of the Witnesses' Watchtower organi zation, said "wars have settled nothing permanently and now ' the devastating power of war hangs as a dark cloud over the ' entire earth."
