Neuberger Points To Apparent Dodge Of Responsibilty Washington UPJ Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said Tuesday a "complete adminis trative breakdown evidently has occurred'' in the office of Ervln L. Peterson, assistant secretary of agriculture. Neuberger said Peterson has "stalled" for more than 12 months on two decisions "cru cial" to Oregon. He enlisted them as a lumber industry request that the Three Sisters wilderness area be re duced in size and a proposal that 75 million board feet of "scrub" timber near Crescent lake be sold through competitive bid ding. Peterson was not immediately available for comment. Pending Since 1955 Neuberger said the Three Sis ters case had been pending since February, 1955, and the Cres cent Lake case since December, 1955. "In reply to my repeated in quiries during the "past year, I have received only cliches about "careful analysis of all factors." "leaving no stone unturned," and "careful consideration and study," Neuberger said. The senator said that if Peter son were "unwilling to decide the issues, the Agricultural De partment should appoint a re placement who who is not afraid to exercise responsibility." A DOG'S LIFE Arctic, R.I. (U.R) A cus tomer arrived at a local restau rant, in a taxicab, ordered two pork chop dinners "to go." When the two orders of pork chops, home fried potatoes, green peas, sliced tomatoes and bread had been -wrapped in foil, the cus tomer explained: "These are for my clogs. I'll take two hotdogs for myself.

Wednesday. January 30. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE On The Side By E. V. Dueling (Distributed by Kino. Futures Syndicate, Inc.) In a recent discussion of cele brities named Fanny, I omitted the name of the great Fanny Brice. An unforgivable omission. All the more so because Fanny was a good friend of mine. This slip has cost me many a stogie. Serves me right. I also failed to mention Fanny Crosby, the bril liant and highly prolific hymn writer. Fanny wrote over 6,000 hymns, the best of which was probably the one titled "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Births Have you had a new arrival at your house recently? Up to how near the birth did your wife keep up her normal activities? Discussing that situation, Moira Shearer, the beautiful red-haired ballet dancer, said, "With my first child I went on dancing up to six months. With the second 1 led a completely normal life up to three weeks before. You see, I always feel wonderful when I am having a baby." Asking Queries from clients. Q. My husoand claims the song "Over The Rainbow" was popular long before the film "The Wizard of Oz" was released. I say Judy Garland introduced it in the film. How about this? Do I win the nylons? A. You win. "Over The Rainbow" was written es pecially for the film "The Wizard of Oz" by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg . . . Q. Did Arnold Rothstein, the notorious gambler, win a million dollars on one horse race? A. Not quite a mil lion, sir. On July 4, 1921, Roth stein won about 5800,000 on a horse named Sideral. That was in the days of track bookmakers. Sideral opened at 30 to 1. Closed at 3 to 1. Asides In Paris the streets Somerset Maugham is said to be the best dry martini mixed on the French Riviera. Here is the Maugham martini recipe: "Four parts gin. One part vermouth. Rub ice around rim of glass." Potatoes Is the Idaho potato superior to the Maine potato? Or vice versa? That's an argument in which I am requested to par ticipate. I can't separate the contestants. It's a dead heat in my opinion. Anyway, at hand is a hightly informative volume titled "State of Maine Potato Cook Book." The recipe for hash ed brown potatoes in this book intrigues me. I am an enthusi astic hashed brown potato fan. This particular recipe is one used in the Grand Trunk Rail way's dining cars. Earning Power How are you doing as com pared to five years ago? Ac cording to a statistician, it took the average working man in 1951 some 41 minutes to earn the price of a steak. Now, says he. it takes only 28 minutes for the average worker to earn the price of a steak. Also, that five years ago it took the average man 44 minutes to earn the price of a haircut. Now it takes only 42 minutes. Model One of the highest paid photo grapher's models in the world is the one professionally known as "Just Johnny." He gets $25 an hour. Johnny is a dog. A toy poodle.
