Annoying Ginkgo
Tree May Be Used
To Treat Cancer
Washington (U.R) The evil
sr.ielling ginkgo tree, long a
source of annoyance to residents
here, is being studied by science
to see if it might possibly be of
use in treating cancer.
The city's tree department re
cently shipped a crate of the
ginkgo tree's fruit to the Eliza
beth Strok Kramer Foundation
in Wilmington, Del., for cancer
research.
Research Director William Kra
mer said fruit from the much
maligned tree may contain an
alkaloid for use in treating can
cer. He said all insects are re
pulsed by ginkgoes and if there
is a cancer virus, it might also be
repulsed.
The nation's capital has some
6,000 ginkgoes scattered through
out the city, by far the largest
amount in the United States.
Some cities have a few of the
trees for ornamental or shading
purposes.
The substance being sought by
the foundation is believed to be
contained in the smelly fruit nut
shed by the female tree in the
autumn. A ginkgo is either male
of female.
A Hardy Tre '
The fruit is about the size and
shape of an olive. Its odor fends
off insects and birds as well as
man. During the season, the fruit
drops, forming slippery and ugly
patches on sidewalks. Many a
Washington motorist and tourist
has learned never to park under
the obnoxious trees.
In recent years, horticulturists
have tried to soften the unpleas
ant smell through the use of
chemical sprays but have had
little or no success.
Most cities plant the tree be
cause of its hardy nature. The
ginkgo, with its pale gold leaves
shaped like a duck's foot, is im
mune to smoke and fungus dis
eases that injure other trees.
The National Geographic So
ciety says the ginkgo is called
a "living fossil" because of its
link between the present age and
the remote past. Scientists be
lieve today's tree is similar to
the ginkgo that grew about 200
million years ago.
Occasionally, a ginkgo throw
back to pre-historic times occurs.
One leaf was found near the
White House bearing a shape al
most exactly like its Cretaceous
Age ancestor.

Aline Mosby r. i c ii w a a
voted an Oscar for writing the
best original movie story of 1956,
"The Brave One," made by the
King Brothers. But when Rich
wasn't in town to collect the
award, movieland developed a
first-class who-wrote-it mystery:
Is Rich man or myth?
"I've received phone calls from
more people," sighed King in
his office before rushing off to
New York. "One man in San
Francisco claims he wrote it. So
does a fellow in Salinas, Calif. A
fellow in Boston swears his uncle
wrote it before he died.
Story Bought in Germany
"We bought the story from
Rich years ago in Germany.
We've sent wires all over Europe
to track him down but no answer
yet. My brother, Maury, is go
ing to Europe in two weeks to
advertise in the papers there for
him."

The Family Council
Editor's note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Each
article is a summary ol an actual report. The Family Council does not give
advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible
afencles and counselors.
Hollywood (U.R) Everybody i has been named as the man who
snouia get mai uscar. xopmgni
director Fred Zinneman reveals
the deceased director wrote an
identical story of a little Mex
ican boy and a bull, "Benito and
the Bull," in Santa Fe, N. M. in
1928.
"Flaherty told me the story
when we were in Germany in
1931," Zinneman said. "It may
be pure coincidence."
Flaherty, says Zinneman, later
sold the story to Orson Welles.
Welles says he filmed it as "My
Friend Benito" in Mexico for
RKO in 1945 but after a change
in management, "I was fired and
the picture was shelved and writ
ten off as a tax loss."
Success Pleases Welles
'I have no hard feelings about
it and I'm not suing," added Wel
les. "I'm glad that someone else
had success with the story."
Other Hollywoodites are con
vinced the tale was penned by
some screenwriter unable to
work under his own name be
cause of a Communist past. So
far the motion picture trade pa
pers have busily tracked down
denials from Dalton Trumbo,
Michael Wilson and Hugo But
ler.
Nassour Broth ers sued the
King Brothers for $750,000,
claiming King stole "The Brave
One" from a script the Nassours
owned. The case was settled out
of court for an undisclosed sum.
'The latest word is that a pro
ducer in New York thinks this
controversy is so funny he wants
to do a play on Broadway about
it," said King.

Leona F I can't take farm
life.
Dan F. I can't make a liv
ing in the city.
Leona F. I have been mar
ried ten years and have two
young children. It is for their
sake I am now trying to keep
my marriage together, although
I really don't see how I can go
on with it.
I am a city-bred woman and
have a good education. After I
got out of college I went to teach
in a small community. There I
met my husband, who ran a
small and not - too successful
farm. From the first I recog
nized there were too many dif
ferences in our background. Dan
hasn't much education and. his
tastes were very diferent from
mine. But he was thoughtful and
intelligent and adored me. I
thought I could teach him things
and gradually the gap between
us would be bridged. I'm afraid
I haven't been very successful.
We tried life on the farm for
five years. I was miserable and
Dan finally agreed to move to
the city. Dan took a selling job
but .wasn't too successful in it.
I opened a small antique busi
ness, which turned out to be
quite successful. Dan resents
this. He is unhappy and wants
to move back to the farm a
life I feel I can't take.
Dan F. In the first place,
I don't resent Leona's success
with her shop. What I can't
stand is the fact that I can't sup
port my own family. I guess I
just wasn't cut out for city life
I don't know my way around
here. Does Leona expect me to
stay home and take care of the
house and kids while she sup
ports us?
I love and respect my wife
and I was glad t learn thines
from her, but I can't see that
we are so far apart in our tastes.
I always enjoy the books she
suggests and we are both great
music lovers. It seems as though
the only thing we really disa
gree about in where to live. I
feel we can enjoy as many
things on the farm as we can
in the city. True, there isn't as
much cultural activity in some
ways, but we could make trips
to the city every now and then.
Leona believes that if I went
to school here for a while, I
would "improve" myself enough
to enjoy and get along in city
life. But, how can I trot off to
school while my wife supports
the family? She calls me stub
born, but it seems to me she's
at least as stubborn as I am.
The Council: Logic appears to
be on Dan's side of the argue
ment and if Leona is serious
about wanting to keep her mar
raige intact, she'd do well to
take a more objective look at
herself and her marriage prob
lem. Her preference for city life
is a matter of taste, but her hus
band's preference for farm life
is a matter of survival. In the
city he is deprived of his man
hood because he cannot make a
living for his family. He is be
ing pretty much canceled out as
a human being under present
conditions.
It is quite understandable that
he should resent having to "trot
off to school" ' while his wife
supports the family. This is
quite a different case from the
sort of financial help many
wives gave young husbands who
were studying under the G.I.
Bill.
In contemporary America, life
on the farm is far from isolated
and nobody has to live there in
a cutural vacuum. Leona is far
too rigid in her ideas about the
"differences" between herself
and her husband, and farm life
and city life. It is she who
.should make a strenuous effort
to adjust to the life she unreas
onpbly disdains.

Helicopter Chalks Up
'First' for Aviation
Buffalo, N. Y. '(U.R) A new
Model 47J helicopter has chalk
ed up another aviation "first" for
Bell Aircraft Corp.
The rotor-winged craft, only
the second of its type off the as
sembly line, made the initial
helicopter crossing of the Andes
Mountains by way of the famed
Christo Pass during a tour of 15
Central and South American
countries.
Joseph Mashman, Bell's as
sistant director of contracts, was
at the controls during the 17,-
000-mile tour that proved one
of the most grueling perfor
mance tests ever attempted by
a helicopter.
The "egg-beater" cruised at
17,000 feet for the life-saving
evacuation of a critically injured
girl from a Peruvian copper min
ing town and for its Andes cross
ing.
Flying ' through all kinds of
weather and over rugged terrain,
the new model known as the
"Silver Hummingbird" logged a
total of 250 trouble-free hours
When -the four-place utility copt
er began the tour, it carried an
extra set of spark plugs, fan belt
and distributor points. Only the
spark plugs and the fan belt
were put to use, and then
changed only as a precautionary
measure for the high altitude
Andes evacuation mission.
Only 40 hours of maintenance
were required for the extended
I tour, which took about 11 weeks.
Dr. Thompson to Talk At Safety Council
in cooperation with the Armed
Forces.
The meeting wil be held in the
Jackson hotel at noon Friday,
April 12.
