Gome Commissioner Eats Juniper if He Loses Bet Deadwood, S.D. OP) A big game bioligist offers to settle an argument by eating juniper if he loses.

(W Nicholas Konon, a grafting ex pert who grows plums on peach trees, is trying the same trick with maples. He said, "The books say it can't be done but who knows maybe I'll wind up with plums flavored with maple syrup." . ' BY VERNON SCOTT United Press Hollywood Writer Hollywood IW Frank Sin atra, sitting atop the entertain ment world, hasn't forgotten the lean years of the late 40's when he had trouble getting jobs. The thin crooner isn't bitter about the brushoffs and double talk that kept him from work ing. But he does remember one guy. Fella named Bob Hope who started Frank on the long road back. "I couldn't get a job until Bob came along with his first televi s i o n spectacular." the singer j said. "That was in 1950, and there weren't 'many people around like Hope. But then I wasn't expect ing to find them. If people were frightened of me I couldn't blame 'em.' "There were a lot of guys who helped scuttle the ship. But there's no bitterness. I figure they have enough problems of their own." More Than Bit Sinatra recalled that his stint on Hope's initial video splash was more than the guest-shot song bit. "He and his writers wrote the entire show around me," he said. "I didn't get a lot of money, but the show was great. And it was a tremendous psychological help to me. Bob wanted me for the show because he thought I was right for it not because he felt sorry for me." Sinatra shrugs off the Damon and Pythias routine. The crooner admitted that if Hope had asked him to appear on the program out of sympathy he would have turned it down. Frank returns the favor Oct. 18 when the ski-nosed comedian guests on Sinatra's new ABC-TV show. Sinatra, who hides his warmth and sentimentality be neath a polished Indifference, says Hope's appearance has no thing to do with the helping hand Bob proferred seven years ago. Hop Best Man "He's simply the best man for the show," Frank said. "Peggy Lee and Kim Novak will be on the show, too. He'll 'keep them from being nervous and the rest of us can bounce off his humor." Frank will film 36 half-hour programs 13 musicals, 13 dramas and act as host on 10 others. Two addition shows, the Oct. 18 debut and another on St. Valentine's Day, will be hour-long jamborees. As if his TV commitments weren't enough this year, Sin atra will record another new long-play album; star in a movie, "Kings Go Forth," and fill a singing date at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Unruffled and easy going, Frank takes the back-breaking schedule in stride, eating on the run, grabbing cat naps and keep ing close tabs on all his activi ties. - "If I get panicky about this schedule we're all dead,"-he con cluded wryly. The novel has flourished In America since the growth of the lending library and the emancipation of women accord ing to a study recently pub lished by the University of Cali fornia Press. mmm if "V4i?
