o EIGHT MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, February 8. 1957 Seamen Found Guilty Of Healing Bridges San Rafael, Calif. U.R) Two southern California seamen were found o guilty of simple assault last night for an attack on long shore leader Harry. Bridges in a Sausalito restaurant last Sep tember. The jury of eight women and four men debated about seven hours before returning the ver dict against Fred Reppine, 35, and Donald C. Hansen, 23, both of San Pedro. The verdict cleared the two men of the more serious charge of felonious assault. They are both members of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, a bitter rival of Bridges" International Longshoremen's and Warehouse men's Union. Superior Judge Thomas F. Keating set Feb. 25 for sentenc ing. The verdict carries a max imum penalty of six months in the? county jail, a $500 fine, or both. If the seamen had been con victed of felonious assault, they would have face one to 10 years da. San Quentin. TUNE STIRS THEFT San Pedro, Calif.

Charles Hanbury Williams No one can rightly say that the British statesman Sir An thony Eden is not familiar with the horrors of war. In World War I, two of his brothers were killed in action. One of these brothers. William, was only 16 years old. Anthony, himself, went to war when 17 years old and was gassed at Ypres. At the age of 21 he was a captain. Horses and Women At hand is a communication from a group of feminine sub scribers born under Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is signed "Forgotten Women" and con stitutes a complaint that their sign has been "tatally ignored" in our reports as to the claims of the stargazers. These ladies seem really bitter. They threaten me. Not to slap my face but when anybody mentions my name, to reply, "Never heard of him."

How right Beaumont was when he wrote: The fool that willingly provokes a woman. Has made himself another angel. And a new hell, to which all other torments Are but mere pastime. Passing By Jimmy "Cowboy" Nichols. Veteran jockey. Has been a race rider since he was six years old. Had first mounts in quarter horse races in his native Texas. His present height is 5 feet, 9. In the off season he weighs 145 pounds. His riding weight is 110. He annually gets down to this weight under the supervis ion of the worlds greatest weight reduction expert, Dr. Alexander Kaye of New York City. During the racing season Jimmy keeps down to 110 by ad hering to a diet prescribed by Dr. Kaye. This remarkable diet enables him to satisfy his appe tite and still retain the strength necessary for his rigorous ac tivity. Almost Confidential People who should know bet ter keep referring to Rita Hay worth as a Brooklyn girl. Rita was born in Jackson Heights in the Borough of Queens, a section that is a hotbed of Yankee fans and Dcdger haters . . . Next to earrings, the things women lose most are gloves. If your wife is an inveterate glove loser have her put her name and address inside her gloves as an aid to recovery if lost. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What war time flyer sent the -message, "I'm coming in on a wing and a prayer"? A. Major Nor amn Dale, United States Air Force. It was in the North Afri can campaign. World War II . . . Q. Who wrote the song "Some thing to Remember You By"? Who introduced it? A. The beau tiful ballad you mention was written by that Brilliant Brook lynite Arthur Schwartz. It was introduced by Libby Holman in the musical show titled "Three's A Crowd." It is one of my fav orite songs. Your query has started me humming it. Asides It was Cardinal O'Connell, who so rightly observed, "You can tell the quantity of a wom an's brain by the kind of hat that covers it" . . . Now that winter is here some sportscribes are referring to ice hocky as "the . world's fastest game." That's ridiculous. The world's fastest game is jai-alai. United Air Lines Sued for Death New York (U.R) A man sued United Air Lines Thursday for $250,000 as the result of the death of his wife in the bomb ing of a DC6B in flight in No vember, 1955, in Colorado by recently executed John Gilbert Graham. Charles H. Winson of 5t. John's NELD., charged the -air line with negligence and care lessness for not examining the plane properly before takeoff from Denver, Nov. 1, and ac cused it of desecrating his wife's body by shipping it "in a naked condition" to St. John's. Record Number of Colleges Participating In Group Insurance Program for Athletes HMMMM! School was never like this with teach ers like Sue Boomer of San Francisco. Sue is pointing up the formula for mono sodium glutamate, a flavor intensifier for food, during a food processors meeting in San Francsico. Glutamate, used for years in the Orient, has doubled in use by food processors in the U. S. in the last five years. Famed Minsky's Quits Burlesque Newark, N. J. U.R The curtain fell on the last perform ance of bigtime burlesque Thurs day night at Minsky's. Scarcely a bump or grind heralded its decorous demise. Orchestra leader Joe Mack led his eight piece pit band in "Auld Lang Syne" to "play out" the last few hundred faithful burley fans from the Adams-theater as sorrowful stagehands lowered the red velvet curtain on the farewell finale. . The closing of Minsky's marked the beginning of the end of burlesque in one of its last strongholds. Saturday, the Hud son theater in Union City will close its doors. Next Thursday, Newark's sole remaining "Bur- ley-Q," the Empire theater, will close with a valentine to a dy ing art form. Local anti-burlesque laws, up held by the New Jersey Supreme Court plus enthusiastic enfore- ment by police, have chased the sensuous strippers from the run ways and plunged the baggy pants comics into a perpetual blackout. SUBORDINATE READS Washington (U.R) When Iraqi Crown Prince Abdul Illah who hates to make speeches, or dered Iraqi Ambassador Moussa Al-Shabandar to read a prepared address to the National Presf Club Thursday, the ambassador remembered he had forgotton his leading glasses and told Adnan M.

' ' " Kadis is the 2r-year-old Gen ava, Pa., college . lineman who lies in a Cleveland hospital with a cerebral hemorrhage suffered during a game with Waynesburg, Sept. 29. His medical bills have exceeded $10,000 so far and Geneva has no insurance cover ing such accidents. A United Press survey re vealed that most schools, includ ing those not in the NCAA pro gram, make some provision for aiding injured athletes but those in the NCAA group plan appear to offer the most complete pro tection. The Cost Per Athlete The premium under the NCAA policy is $1.70 per athlete per sport for a year (the rate recent ly was increased from $1 a year). The policy provides for $250 deductible insurance (the school pays that sum) with maxi mum coverage of $5,000 for each covered under the program. Walter Byers, executive direct or of the NCAA, explains that the schools presumably would pay any medical bills over $5,000. Byers added that any athlete who has grant-in-aid or a schol arship from an NCAA school could not lose it or have it grad ed downward during injury. He cited a section of the NCAA con stitution which reads: "Gradua tion or cancellation of institu tion aid during the period of its Businessmen Plan Tour of Far East San Francisco (U.R. The Chamber of Commerce disclosed today some 40 Westv Coast busi nessmen will depart May .3 for an extended tour of commercial centers in the Far East. E. D.

Other Policies Since the NCAA does not cover loss of life, Big Seven schools have another policy which does. Most Big Seven schools are insured by Lloyds of London, since some domestic firms shy away from any opera tion which might involve an en tire squad. Wallace Wade, commissioner of the Southern Conference, said ! benefits for injured players i within his conference are left ! up to their individual schools. 1 "The conference does not have J insurance on player injuries, but ; I believe most of the individual schools do," Wade said. "I could not say for certain that all of them do because that is an indi-! vidual matter handled by the school." The Pacific Coast Conference has no overall insurance plan to cover injured players although j any school desiring to do so may j join the NCAA insurance plan. Two Complete Programs ' UCLA and Southern Cali- j fornia have the same program I under which they take care of medical and hospital costs. The two institutions have medical schools and the staffs are avail able to care for the injured. UCLA also has its own hospital on the campus. I Both UCLA and Southern California continue tuition grant-in-aids when a player is injured and both credit an in jured player with the time he normally puts in on his campus job if he is unable to work. George Sheibler, assistant commissioner of the Eastern Col lege Athletic Conference, said "virtually every school" has some kind of coverage for play er injuries and he added the NCAA policy is made available to all member schools. In the Big Ten In the Big Ten, Northwestern has its own insurance program with blanket coverage on ath letes in addition to student health service which caters to the entire student body. Illinois has NCAA insurance on athletes until the start of school. Then the university has insurance on all students which covers hos pitalization, surgery and medi cal expenses. In the Skyline Conference, Utah covers its athletes with a group insurance policy and the other ' schools have individual plans. The same holds true with schools in the Atlantic Coast and Southwest Conferences. Geneva so far has contributed more than $1,000 to the Kadis' family, and the boy's father. Frank, a Cleveland restaurant owner, has borrowed $3,000 so far but hasn't much hope of raising the rest. "We'll do everythmg we can." said Cliff Aultman, Geneva ath letic director. "We used to have an insurance policy but it was only for $500 an accident. In four years, three different com panies handled our insurance, each one dropping us. We didn't quit them. They dropped us." Kadis remains unconscious most of the time. His condition is listed as "poor." He cannot recognize members of his family. FEBRUARY SPECIALS! Prices Slashed This Month Only!
