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. OJ.Rj A
man yelled, "I can't stand that
guy," Thursday, fired two shots
into a Juke box playing an Elvis
Presley record and then robbed
the coins from the box.

Come, darling, and five me sweet
For sweetr sure never girl gave
But why m the midst of my blisses
llo ou ask bow many I'd have?
Go number the stars in the
heaven.
Count how many sandt on the
shore
When so majiy kisses you've given
I suit shall be craving for more.
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."

Truly a diabolical scheme. Only
a Capricorn woman could think
of it. 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.

Aiming to prevent ''another
Dick Kadis tragedy," a record
total of 47.011 students and 199
ichors are now participating in
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association's group insurance
program, wich afford;firlancial
benefit for-athletes'sitffering in
jury. ' ' "
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. Maldbey, chamber presi
dent here and' rice president of
the Pacific Telephone and tele
graph Company, said tip trip
will give insight' "tofest Coast

creased trade with the Orient."
Maloney said the businessmen

Fair, May 5. will exterifjto Hong

award because of an injury
which prevents the recipient
from participating in athletics"
is a violation.
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.
