On The Side By e. v. During

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.

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.

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

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

per cent.
Bomb Hoaxes Delay
Flight of Airliners

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

was held up just as it started to

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.
