Looking on. Back row, left to right, are Glenn McCullough, national com mittee man, and Don Carlon, secretary-treasurer. On The Side By e. v. During (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) A tonsorialist who has recent ly put a photograph of Perry Como on display in his shop asks if I can name any other cele brated men who were originally barbers. If so, he wants to put teeir portraits or photographs on exhibition. Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the spinning jen- nv was originally a barber. So was that hard hitting major league outfielder"Wahoo Sam Crawford, a member of the or iginal "Murderers Row" of the Detroit Tigers, namely Cobb, Crawford and Veach. That is all the celebrated ex-barbers I can think of offhand. Inventor Can Gail Borden, inventor of condensed milk, properly be called a "Texan"? Many resi dents of the Lone Star state are of that opinion. The facts are as follows: Borden was born in Norwich, N. Y., but spent much of his life in Texas. He made the plans for the city of Houston, Tex. He died in Borden, Tex. In cidentally, in addition to invent ing condensed milk Borden or iginated the first type of so called "instant" coffee. Passing by j Carroll Baker.. Star of that sultry cinema tale title "Baby Doll." She was born in Johns town, Pa., and is the first native of that town to achieve national notice since the days of that re markable ringman known as "Terrible Terry" McGovern. Of course, Terry learned the manly art of self-defense in South Brooklyn but it is as I have said He was born in Johnstown, Pa . . . Ruth Osborn. Distinguished concert harpist. It is said the feminine harpists love their in struments so much they even take them along on honeymoons I wonder what is the beet way to get a harp in a taxicab. Or a bass viol. I meant -to ask Ruth about that but forgot it. Sidelights It was Kin Hubbard, the Indi ana humorist, and not Vice Pres ident Thomas R. Marshall who first said, "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar." . . . One San Francisco firm pays stenographer - secretaries $114 for a 40-hour week. Secretaries to the top executives of this out fit get even more. Get It Right Is that noble stretch running thoroughbred. Gallant Man, properly called an "Irish horse' or an "English horse"? The sire and dam of Gallant Man are both Irish. They were born in Ireland and now live there. However, because Gallant Man was foaled on an English farm, the British claim he is an "Eng lish horse." That is ridiculous. Gallant Man's parents are equine citizens of Ireland. Therefore he is Irish. If the British idea were applied to humans, Katharine Cornell would be called a Ger man actress. She was born in Berlin of American parents Joan Fontaine would be styled a Japanese actress. She was born in Tokyo. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Was Frank James, brother of Jesse, ever the starter at the Electric Light race track in St. Louis, Mo.? A. I believe Frank was a member of the starter's crew at the historic track you mention. His first connection with the turf was when he acted as bet ting commissioner for Sam Hil dreth at the Guttenberg, N. J., track. Sam said he never had a more honest, conscientious and dependable employee than Frank James . . . Q. Was there ever a movie titled. "Love. Luck and Gasoline'" A. Indeed there was. It was a silent film featuring John Bunny, Lillian "Dimples'' Walker and Wally Van. It was produced in Brooklyn at the Vi tagraph studios. Stargazers Do you really believe in as trology? That is what I am is- Girl Trapped 37 Hours in Wreckage With Dead Parents Alliance, Neb. (W A Civil Air Patrol official Monday blam ed a delay in reporting a missint; aircraft for the ordeal of a 17-year-old girl trapped for 37 hours in the wreckage of plane with her dead parents and the pilot. The girl, Judy Diehl, Cozad, Neb., was rescued Sunday and sped to a hospital here where physicians said she was in fair condition and in good spirits. Fractured Leg Miss Diehl suffered a frac tured leg, shock, cuts and bruises when the light plane in which she, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Diehl, and the pilot, Milo German, 55, also of Cozad, were riding nosed into the ground in barren sandhill coun try near here. The Diehls and German, own- formation Agency is curtailing cr of a plastics firm, apparently peatedly asked. My answer is ever the same, namely, "I have an open mind on it." Astrology has had the respectful considera tion of such men as Shakespeare, Byron, Carl Jung, Plutarch and many others. So who am I to view the subject scornfully. Also such highly intelligent people as Mary Pickford, Anita Loos and Bcbe Daniels have admitted their actions have frequently been guided by astrology with remarkable results. They were all clients of Evangeline Adams. Jayne Mansfield, Robert Cum mings and many currently ac tive Hollywoodians have a be lief in astrology. Edith Turner, considered the most successful woman in the hotel and travel industry, credits much of her success to astrological advise. USIA Cuts Operation In Line With Budqef Washington OP) the U.S. In- Eugene Man Named Supervising Plant Service Foreman Theodore (Ted) Coulson, Eu gene, has been named super vising plant service foreman for Pacific Telephone in the Med- 11- vAKL Sjj & j :, s; Is operations in line with deeo Congressional cuts in its budget. UMA Director Arthur Larson aeiauca me curtailments yes terday and promised the agen cy's goal is "believability", not propaganda. Larson asked Congress for SI 40 million for the current fis cal year but wound up with $95,100,000. In addition, USIA was allotted 51,100,000 towards a new high-powered radio trans mitter to be located somewhere in the Middle East. Larson said the biggest cut, 76 per cent, would be in tele vision. He said he would cut expenditures in that field from S2. 380,000 to only 5567,000 The second largest cut, he said, would be in information centers, from S8,700,000 to S5.750.000, a reduction of 34 per cent. Bomb Hoaxes Delay Flight of Airliners Miami OB Bomb hoaxes caused one airliner to return a few minutes after takeoff, and delayed the flight of another by two hours Monday. An Eastern Air Lines plane bound for Tampa, Fla., with 18 passengers was ordered back to Miami International airport eight minutes after an anony mous male telephone caller said a bomb was aboard. A search revealed no bomb and the plane took off again half an hour later. A short time later, a Royal Dutch Air Lines plane en route to Curacao in the West Indies was held up just as it started to taxi for its takeoff. Air line offi cials said the caller this time was a woman. were killed instantly. Judy was unable to move because of her injuries. She attracted the at tention of rescue planes by wav ing a white scarf. Flew Into Storm She said the plane left Al liance about 8:30 p.m. Friday en route to Cozad, but flew into a storm and attempted to re turn to Alliance. "I remember the plane going down," she told rescuers. "The next thing I knew I woke up in the wreckage." Her only food during the time she was trapped was one ba nana. She managed to catch some rainwater to drink. At Omaha, Jim Groves, com mander of the Nebraska wing of the CAP, criticized the search and rescue operation. He said he was not notified that the plane was missing until about noon Sunday, although it crash ed Friday night. Sailor Electrocuted In Gold Beach Mishap .
