Well, you could try munching o mints or having a baby. You also might try going to jail or to the south seas. Or perhaps "psychologizing yourself." But the advice of doctors, psy chiatrists and others here mostly boils down to the hardest feat of ail: use your will power. Said Dr. Leroy E. Burney, chief of the U.S. Public Health Service, who has announced there is increasing evidence link ing cigarette smoking to lung cancer: "If you're determined to quit, just grit your teeth and quit. There's no panacea." Burney smokes a pipe No Magic Formula Or psychiatrist Dr. Robert Felix, director of the National Institute of Mental Health: "There's no magic formula. I wish there were, I'd make a for tune." Felix, an expert in- the field of addiction, does have tips, re lated below which might make the giving-up easier. . At the start, those polled all strongly endorsed the following passage from Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's book "Tobaccoism" published more than 30 . years ago: '"The confirmed smoker who has reached the point at which the cigar, pipe, or cigarette is Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent San Simeon,' Calif.

Tourists who visit San Simeon will follow in the footsteps of such guests as Winston Chur chill and. the late George Ber nard Shaw. Hearst's guests arrived at this 270,000-acre cattle ranch, mid way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, by private planes, trains or cars. . Guests stayed in any of 69 bedroom suites, filled with furni ture of the renaissance era in Italy France and Spain.

The bride thought it was her husband. The husband was sound asleep but awakened later and held the intruder until po lice arrived. Police said Garasci, wearing only an undershirt, entered the rooms of two maids but fled when they screamed. He rushed across a terrace, entered an open window and popped into the first bed he saw. The wife told police she did r.ot scream at first because she thought it was her husband. Garasci was charged with vio lation of domicile and obscene acts. wood ceiling, 16th century chests, four-poster bed and marble bathroom. Although overwhelming to the eye a weekend in a renaissance bed room did not appear comfortable. Late Breakfast In San Simeon's heyday guests could eat breakfast up to 11 a.m. in the castle's "breakfast room" featuring a 13th Cen tury marble archway, 15th Cen tury . fireplace from a French chateau, 15th Century Spamsn ceiling and hanging silver lamps from an Italian castle. You kept your toast warm at a Spanish brazier and sat in an armchair from the Mexican convent where Maximilian was held prisoner until his execu tion. After breakfast you couli ride the finest Arabian horses in the. world, visit the zoo or swim in one of two lake-sized pools. A bell called you to lunch and dinner in the main dining hall, half a block long. Half moon shaped antique chairs sur round the 40-foot long table.

A picnic on the ranch meant a banquet served on the ground by a small army of servants.

Wl Two Pasadena men feel that "prob lem smokers ' snouid De given the same type of help that Al colholics Anonymous offers "problem drinkers." Zeno Staudt and Ventor Wil liams Wednesday announced plans to start a "Stop Smoking Club of America." They said ho "SS " a non-rjrofit organiza tion,- will attempt "to help peo ple try some of the lime-Known pleasures of not smoking." The "SS" leaders defined a problem smoker as a person who wants to quit but can't under his own power. Fireworks Explosion Kills Seven in India Calcutta, India flfi Seven persons were killed and 50 others injured in the coal town of Asansol Wednesday when a railroad car carrying fireworks exploded in a marshalling yard, officials reported today. THIEVES HEADED OFF Chicaco m Two young men who iailed to get their heads together today faced charges of robbing a suburban finance company of $300. Work ing on a slim clue, that one of the gunmen had a "duck tail haircut," police quickly spotted Douglas Fletcher, 18. Fletcher s companion, police said, is a barber. " necessary to prevent nervous ness, irritability, mental con fusion and incapacity for work or pleasure and to enable him to maintain the mental poise es sential for effectual activity will undergo a real test of character in any attempt to escape from the toils of the tobacco habit." Just Quit Felix said that the smoking habit cannot be compared with drug or alcohol addiction. There is no evidence of any physiologi cal dependence on tobacco once the habit is begun. But he said they can be compared in that "The only way to quit is to quit all at once.". Cutting down gradually "only prolongs the agony." After an ab solute break, he said, -the crav ing for a cigarette will become bearable after about two weeks. Felix, and others, suggested another habit as a substitute dur ing the first painful period, like gum chewing or candy nibbling. "To give your hands something to do when you reach for a cig arette." Felix also suggested you go to places where it is the "so cial custom" not to smoke, like the theater, church, movie, mu seum or library. Felix smokes a moderate one-half pack of cig arettes a day and has "no in tention in the world of stop ping." Other advice: Dr. Kenneth Chapman, asso ciate director of the clinical center at the National Institute of Health and a drug addiction specialist: Cigarette smoking "is not addiction; it's just a habit." But it would be a lot easier to break the tobacco habit if the treatment were the same as that for a drug addict: "putting one away in a place for some period of about a week." The most important step in giving up cigarettes is "making up your own mind" to do so. Then, Chapman said, try it out "when you are not under ten sion, when you have no weighty problems, and relax. Pamper yourself and go ahead and nibble candy or food. You can lose the extra weight later." Chapman just fell off the cigarette wagon after a six-month abstinence and now- smokes- a- pack a- day. -"I'll quit again one of-these days."" Rep. John A. Blatnik CD Minn.), chairman of the House Cigarette - Cancer Investigating Subcommittee: Read Dr. Alton Ochsner's book "'Smoking and Cancer" which says that you can more easily stop smoking, "abruptly, completely and per manently" if you investigate your psychological reasons for smokftig. Blatnik has cut from two to one pack a day and plans to "give up the things complete ly as soon as I psychologize my self." . Robert T. Secrest, acting chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, who asked Congress for more power to police ciga rette advertising: He chews to bacco and has given it up 40 times. There are so few tobacco chewers, "I don't think anyone in the country cares a damn if we live or die. It's a lost art." r W- t i W i I 'Is.:" yy v I ' - 1 ' - r -, ; r APPEARING at London horse show in this fetching , off -shoulder gown caused one newspaper columnist to hint Princess Margaret's ap petite is too big or her gowns too smalL (International) Power Shoyel Cos) County $22,719 The Jackson county court paid $1,391 mere than the lowest bid for the new power, shovel be cause the equipment purchased seemed better adapted to the county's needs, court members said this week in reply to a ques tion. The purchased shovel cost $22,719 including trade-in. The lowest bid was $19,945, Com missioner Chester Wendt said. The cheaper equipment has 81 horsepower, while the shovel bought has 90 horsepower, the commissioner explained. "As far as we know, the cheap er piece of equipment has never been used in southern Oregon," Commissioner Ralph James add ed. . "We have two other shovels of the same type as the one pur chased, which also makes it easier to stock parts and repair." James also said that he re ceived word yesterday that the county saved 8 per cent .in pur chasing a grader this month in stead of later. The company wrote the county court that the price has since gone up. James said the county court had heard rumors of -a possible price--- increase which' ' caused them to rush the bids through.

No place is more important to Britain than the Arabian area with its massive oil production that keeps Britain's industry go ing. For this reason, the Brit ish are ready to risk a reputa tion already damaged by the Suez attack to squash a hill coun try rebel who has a pretty good case for rebelling. International Implications ' He is the Imam Ghaleb who has thrown off the sovereignty and authority of Britain's ally, the Sultan of Muscat and Oman, Said Bin Taimur. The dispute has' international implications. Saudi Arabia's King Saud is supporting the reb els with money and arms. And American oil interests in Saudi Arabia combine to make the is sue of concern to the State De partment. What the British fear is that a rebel victory would be such a prestige victofy for Saudi Arabia as to endanger and even elimi nate British influence in the en tire Persian Gulf, leading to the loss of Kuwait, whose oil is a bulwark of the British economy. So far this war has been one more of significance than gun fire. - There hasn't been any ground fighting since the Imam's broth er, Talib, suddenly appeared from exile in Saudi Arabia July 15 at the head of a band of 150 Naturalization Service Schedules Local Visit Le Roy Schilling, an examiner for the immigration and natural ization service of the United States department of justice, Portland, will be in Medford Aug.. 6.

The Sultan's small force at Nizwa in the mountains, a group of barefoot youths led by British mercernaries, immediately hot footed it toward the coast with out even a clash. Three of the Sultan's officials were killed when their car ran over a land mine. The force is now "re grouping." When word reached the big detachment at Oman, a regiment with a half dozen British offi cers commanding sent a large patrol up into the mountains where it met stiff resistance in cluding automatic weapons fire. A British officer was nicked in the arm and about a dozen oth ers were wounded in the brief clash. The rebels rapidly took con trol of a 100 by 50 mile plateau area and that's where the situa tion stood ..until the Royal Air Force was ordered into action. .
