Comment On This and That ft 1 A 2Z$U "i MACHINE DEALER Don Kibbe, doing business as Surge of Southern Oregon, has recent ly been authorized Surge milk ing machine dealer for Jose phine, Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties. Kibbe, former manager of Walker Equipment, is an agricultural engineering graduate of California Poly technic college, San Luis Obispo, Calif., and has 10 years exper ience in the farm equipment field By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington flJ.PJ Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-S.C.) wants to put Capitol page boys under t ' j4"?, one roof with to look after them. The senator introduced a perennial bill Tuesday aijned at protecting the pages from wickedness i n Barman Nli-noli tne Dig Ctiy. II calls for planning a dormitory for them. The young men, who range in age from 14 to 18, are now scat tered around town in rooming houses. Johnston told the Senate the pages often are exposed to "ex orbitant rents" as well as "the vils of a large city." "Not only that," a spokesman in Johnston's office said, "there is no way to check up on playing hookey. A lot of landladies don't much care what happens so long as the board and room is paid." Conduct of the kids, all of whom are carefully screened, "is a reflection on the Senate and the House of Representatives," he said. "After all, these boys are government employees." Plenty of Work Actually, if the boys work hard at what they are paid for they hardly could find time to get into trouble. Take an ordi nary day: Shaving is no problem for most of the young men. But showers are and they must be over with in time for the first class at 6:30 a.m. at the page boy's school in the Library of Congress. The youngsters pore over their books until 9:45, gathering knowledge in English, mathe matics, science, American his tory, U. S. government and other assorted things aimed at im proving the mind. Goal of the kids, who must wear blue suits and dark ties and say "Yes, sir and no, sir," is to prepare them for college. Final Check When classes are dismissed, the pages cut kitty-corner across the Capitol grouhds to the Sen ate and the Hoyse to see that writing implements are in order and that no dusty flakes have settled on the polished desks of their leaders since the char women shucked their aprons and headed home. Then they spend the afternoon running errands for senators and congressmen. Of course when their leaders are in temporary recess for lunch the pages occasionally have a little fun. It isn't unusual to see a half dozen of them sitting behind the mahogany desks in the Senate imitating some well-known po litical types. Anna Rosenberg Sees Second Cousin Camp Kilmer, N.J.

McDonald Kidnap Jury Refuses To Issue Indictments Hollywood U.R) Refusal by the Los Angeles county grand jury to issue "John Doe" indict ments in the kidnaping case of Marie (The Body) McDonald spelled a setback today for both the shapely blonde and police. Both lost prime objectives by the grand jury refusal Tuesday and the bizarre case appeared as unresolved as ever. Both Sides Fail Miss McDonald failed to get the indictments that she asked against her two abductors, which she wanted as an answer to po lice skepticism concerning her kidnaping and police failed in their attempt to establish that the case was a possible hoax. But Jerry Giesler, Miss Mc Donald's attorney, indicated he felt police had scored some suc cess when no indictments were issued for the two swarthy men the actress said kidnaped her last Jan. 4, held her captive for 24 hours and then released her on the desert. Giesler said he thought police threw a monkey wrench into the possible issuance of indictments by throwing in last-minute wit nesses at Tuesday's closing ses sion of a three-day hearing into the case. Majority in Favor "It is quite obvious that the majority of the jury was in fa vor of the indictments," Giesler said. 'That's the reason why po lice brought in witnesses and testimony in an attempt to change the minds of one or two jurors and apparently they were successful in their plan." The grand jury refused to is sue indictments despite stating its belief that "a serious crime might have been committed" in the abduction of the actress, and urged police to continue work on the case. The refusal to in dict was the last official act of the 1956 jury. Three Children Object of Search Cranford, N.J.

(International Soundphoto) Bathroom in Package Prize-Winning Idea Stillwater, Okla. (U.R) A bathroom in a package is the prize-winning idea of an Okla homa A&M college architect stu dent. Kinney E. Coleman, senior stu dent from Okemah, Okla., thinks a bathroom of molded plastic, made in two pieces, will be fea tured in the house of the future. "The home builder would make his selection of the whole bath room at a salesroom, not just the separate parts as he now does," Coleman said. "The two halves would then be taken to the new home location and put together on the job." Coleman's design, which won first place in the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc., home de sign contest, calls for walls, win dow frames, shelves and fixtures to be molded in plastic. Only the metal operating fixtures would be added.
