3,736 Influenza
Cases Reporied in
Oregon Last Week
Portland TP The State Board
of Health said today that 3,736
cases of influenza were reported
in Oregon last week, the largest
one-week total since the peak of
the 1918 plague.
It represented an increase of
more than 50 per cent above the
2.471 cases reported for the week
before.
Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state
health officer, said the current
flu picture in Oregon may be
even gloomier than indicated by
board figures. He noted that only
11 cases were reported in Port
land, although widespread out
breaks of respiratory maladies
are known to be sweeping
through Portland schools, and in
other schools throughout the
state.
Asian Flu Blamed
Dr. Erickson said there was
"mounting evidence" that most
of the current illness was due
primarily to Asian flu. A dozen
more cases cf Asian flue were
confirmed by laboratory tests
Tuesday, bringing1 the total to
63 positives. He said only a few
specimens were taken from each
area to supply information to
health officers, so the total
should not be considered an ac
curate indication of the preval
ence of Asian flu in Oregon.
Confirmed in Jackson
Asian flu cases have been con
firmed in 15 counties, including
Coos, Clackamas, Douglas, Hood
River, Jackson, Jefferson, Lane,
Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multno
mah, Tillamook, Umatilla, Wash
ington and Yamhill.
Largest over-all number of flu
cases las week was reported from
Yamhill county, which had 551.
Pneumonia, which often ac
companies flu as a secondary in
fection also appeared to be ris
ing in Oregon, Dr. Erickson said.
He said 76 cases were reported
last week compared to 10 cases
for the same week a year ago.

Belongings of Dead
Dalles Youth Found
Goldendale, Wash. lift A
billfold, oxfords and bones have
been found in an area 17 miles
northwest of here where a hu
man skull was found Sunday,
Klickitat County Sheriff E. C.
Kaiser said today.
Kaiser said the evidence
found by Dick Sellere, Golden
dale, state forester, was conclu
sive that the remains were those
of Harry Baker, 20, of The
Dalles, Ore.
Baker disappeared April 9,
1955, after the plane in which
he and his emDloyer. John Peter
La Rocque of The Dalles, were
traveling crashed on a ridge. It
was believed Baker had started
looking for help for La Rocque,
the pilot, who was injured.
Kaiser said the remains were
found about miles west of
where the plane crashed.
Nixon Campaigns for
GOP in New Jersey
Newark, N. J. 'IP Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon stumped
New Jersey today to underscore
the value the White House has
placed on winning the governor
ship for the Republican party.

Forbes, accompanied Nixon on
a one-dav whirlwind tour of key
cities as part of a campaign to
unseat Gov. Robert B. Meyner,
the state's first Democratic chief
executive in a decade.
The day's events began at 9
a.m. when Nixon breakfasted
with southern New Jersey Re
publican leaders. He was to
wind up with a rally tonight in
Jersey City, a Democratic

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
TWO EDITORS of a Cornell University newspaper, t prove
the gullibility of people high in public life, once formed an
organization to '"rescue from oblivion" one Hugo N. Frye, "the
lather oi xr.e nepuoi:cin
Party in New York." In
vitations to a dinner com
memorating Frye's birthday
brought enthusiastic replies
from the vice-president of
the U. S., the Republican
National committee chair
man, and a dozen congress
men. The secretary of Labor
wrote, "It is a pleasure to
testify to the career of that
sturdy patriot who first
planted the ideals of our
party in your region of the
country."
There was no such person as "Hugo N. Frye," of course. His nam
came from the then-popular phrase, "You go and fry!"
Danny Thomas tells about a Hollywood pair who were raptur
ously happy for years. Then they met each other.

Brumidi Paintings
Undergo Constant
Repair at Capitol
Washington (IP The paint
ings of Constantino Brumidi,
"the Michelangelo of the Capi
tol," undergo constant repair be
tween sessions and during vaca
tions of Congress.
Brumidi, who often said he
wished to make the Capitol the
most beautiful building in the
world, finished his last mural
nearly 80 years ago. Since then,
his works have suffered from
humidity and other deterioration
factors
It is the job of a battery of ar
tists to touch up any damage to
Brumidi's historical scenes and
allegories. They were picked for
their skill in matching paints to
the master's original tints.
One of the artists, Joseph Gia
calone of Washington, recently
spent hours mixing his paints for
a relatively easy restorative job.
He retouched an eagle's plumage
depicted on the ceiling of the
Senate appropriations committee
hearing room.
The artists and decorators are
sometimes experts under con
tract from the National Gallery
of Art. They not only put in new
backing, clean and retouch the
paintings but "nourish" the work
as well. This is done by adding
oil to the picture's face, thus
bringing out the color.
Political Refugee
Brumidi s paintings in the Cap
itol far outnumber those of any
other painter. His best work is
considered to be the giant fresco
in the dome known as the
"Apotheosis of Washington."
This is the first sight pointed
out to sightseers by Capitol
guides. Brumidi painted the fres
co in the 1850's, scaling its 15
foot figures to look life-size from
the floor 480 feet below.
To paint the dome, Brumidi
had to lie on his back on a plat
form suspended from the ceiling.
It was a result of a near-fall
from a scaffolding while paint
ing the rotunda that caused his
death in 1880.
A political refugee from his
native land, Brumidi received a
commission to paint the Capitol
because American artists lacked
tradition and training in murals.
Because of this, he was the tar
get of congressmen who thought
an American should have been
given the job.
However, Brumidi toiled un
recognized for his works and
died in poverty. His love for his
adopted land prompted him to
sign one picture, "C Brumidi,
artist, Citizen of the U.S."

Father Confesses
Shaking Infant
Seaside, Calif. OP A 22-year-old
laundry worker and
part-time college student has ad
mitted he "shook" his two-months-old
son to death Sunday,
according to police.
Authorities said George Rob
ert Beavers admitted the child
died after he shook him violently
and "squeezed" him in an ef
fort to stop the child's crying.
Police Chief Raymond R. Rude
said the infant's death was first
listed as from natural causes, but
said Beavers was brought in for
questioning after a routine autop
sy revealed internal injuries and
numerous broken bones.
After two hours of question
ing, Beavers told police he was
baby-sitting Sunday while his
wife, Margaret, attended church.
Beavers said he shook the baby
and flung it onto a couch when
it wouldn't stop crying.
Mrs. Beavers told police the
baby was still crying feebly
when she returned. When she
was unable to reach a physician,
she called the fire department
after the baby stopped breathing.
Beavers said he did not tell
his wife what he had done be
cause "she will divorce me when
she finds out."

MOP STRINGS AID ESCAPE
Clearwater, Fla. (IP) Pinel
las County Sheriff Sid Saunders
said today three prisoners es
caped his "escape-proof" jail by
sawing through bars with mop
strings. Saunders said he thought
each bar contained a hard steel
core which was supposed to turn
when pressure was exerted with
a hacksaw or file. But the bars
were cut. and the three prisoners
got out. The escapees used strings
from a mop in lieu of a hacksaw
or file. They coated the strings
with cleaning powder to act as
an abrasive.
