Radio Disc Jockey Happy With Title As Chicago's Most Unpopular Figure Chicago KP) Marty Faye is J Chicago's No. 1 heel. And he's proud of it. He won the title hands down in an un popularity contest that was his own b?6inchild "Honestly, I never dreamed I was so unpopular," he said. "This is my greatest moment." With that, blonde TV perform er Kay Westfall crowned him with a cardboard crown adorned with gold-painted rubber heels. Faye himself is a television figure and a radio disc jockey. Admittedly, he has made a career out of flouting the pre cepts of Dale Carnegie. Faye is not interested in winning pals and making people think he's peachy. But he's a fast man with a snide remark. He has an undeniable talent for getting under people's skin. With a voice compounded of equal parts of gravel and insult, he makes cutting comments about such national institutions as Sophie Tucker and Bing Cros by. "And that's about like dese crating the American flag," he said. His listeners react vigorously, sometimes violently. On a street corner not long ago a woman walked up to Faye and hit him in the mouth with her handbag. Active Critics "I've had the windows in my house smashed and the tires on my car slashed," he said. A teen-ager incensed by Faye's castigation of rock and roll heaved a rock at Faye's head. It just missed, smashing a plate glass window instead. Once somebody threatened to bomb him and he called for a police guard? Yet Faye regards himself as a "healthy influence." "People work out their ani mosity on me," he said. "I'm pro vocative." With this his critics agree, but they argue that he provokes raw emotion instead of thought. Like when he snatched the wig from his television guest's head. Faye, a former fairgrounds pitchman who sounds like it, can be pleasant enough 'off mike." He said he began his career as a thorn in the public's side five years ago when he broke in as a disc jockey on a local radio station. Mild Comment On his first show he compared Eddie Fisher with a wet stur geon. "The studio . switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree," Faye Said. "People were furious. But the sponsor sold more sewing machines in those 15 minutes than he did in the previous two weeks."

It's the Vodka of Vodkas mirnoff ..VODKA TIE GREATEST NAME SO PROOF. DISTILLED FROM GRAIN. STE. PIERRE SMIRNOFF FLS. (DIVISION OF HEUBLEIN), HARTFORD, CONN.. U.S.A. That's one of Faye's unfathom ables. He stirs people up, but he sells and sells big. Faye even displeases those who agree with his outspoken opinions. He detests rock and roll and Elvis Presley. Yet peo ple who detest both may also dislike Faye. Of Presley, Faye says: "Why look at him? Go to ttie zoo. The third bear on the left has more talent." Perhaps the most enigmatic things about Faye are how he gets people so riled over such relative trivia, and how he at tracts such a following. "Maybe they tune in just to cuss me out," he said. Minimum Wage Extension in Stale Urged by Nilsen Portland (IP A suggestion that benefits of the federal mini mum wage law be extended to many employees not now cover ed was made before a congres sional subcommittee Wednesday by Norman O. Nilsen, state labor commissioner. Nilsen was one of several per sons appearing at a hearing con ducted by Reps. James Roose velt (D-Calif.) and Joe Holt (R Calif.) Both are members of the labor standards subcommittee of the House Committee on Educa tion and Labor. Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) sat in as a guest at the hearing. Drag on Economy Nilsen said there was a "num ber of employees" in low-wage industries in Oregon still earn ing less than $1 an hour, which is the federal minimum in cov ered industries. He described the low-income family as a "drag on our whole economy." William J. Ramsey, partner in a McMinnville variety store, op posed extension of coverage. Among reasons he gave was that he opposed "any further exten sion, enroachment and regula tion by the federal government in this field of private enter prise." Rep. Nilsen asked Nilsen what Oregon was doing to take care of the problem. Nilsen said pro gress was being made in Oregon under the state minimum-wage law for women and children but that it was not progressing 'fast enough." The town of Colrain, western Massachusetts, boasts that its school was the first in the United States to fly the Amer ican flag. Railroad Merger Talk Haying Two Effects Along Wall Street BY ELMER C.WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York OP) Study of a plan to merge New York Cen tral and Pennsylvania Railroad is doing two things in Wall Street: 1. It's re viving the merger plans in the railroad group, plans once grand iosely drawn which died a ling ering Elmer Waizer death over the years 2. It's focusing attention on the rail stocks which have been hammered down to new lows since May 3, 1954. The old plans which had work ed out some 19 great systems have been outmoded by the trucks' taking freight business from the roads and airplanes taking passengers. v The old ones included Central and Pennsy as separate bases without much addition or sub traction from their present road plans plans that practically duplicate each other with the duplications in costs such sys tems involve. Rails Should Do Better Some Wall Street men think that mergers or no mergers the rails soon ought to do better now that they've been hammer ed down. They point out that the poor car loadings compari sons with last year stems from the fact that in 1956 the roads were busy because the steel mills were running full tilt to make up for strike losses. Sidney P. Lurie, analyst for Josephthal & Co., also notes that the roads have been spending heavily on maintenance in ad vance of the recent wage in crease and savings can be made in that line. Also coming earn ings statements may not be as poor as speculative psychology anticipates. In general, Lurie feels the railroad group is uninteresting except for a few of the" better in vestment rails. Many another Wall Street expert feels that the carriers never again will attain the high esteem the financial community had for them. Lost Position In 1921 Before World War I, during which the government ran the railroads, the rail stocks always held above the industrials. .They lost that high position in 1921. Rails moved up with indus trials in the 1920s and set their record high at 189.11 Sept. 3, 1929, the day the industrials closed at 381.17. The industrials went on to a new record at 521.05 April 6, 1956. The nearest the rails came to their high was May 9, 1956, when they touched 181.23. Back in 1929, New York Cen- REA Interest Rate Hike Opposed Portland OP) Delegates to the annual conference of Region 9 of the Rural Electric Coopera tive association here have adopted a resolution opposed to increases in REA interest rates. The resolution protested a re quirement that all administra tion loans of more than $500,000 be reviewed by persons outside the REA. Another resolution charged there was an "unbusi nesslike lack of coordination" in the region which sees a shortage of firm power in southern Idaho and eastern Montana while the Columbia river system has so called dump power available. Clay L. Cochran, director of legislation and research for the tral set a high at $256.50. By 1932 it was down to $8.75. Pen nsy touched $110 and fell to $6.50 a share. Santa Fe sold at $298.38 in 1929 and fell to $17. 88 in 1932. Chesapeake & Ohio fell from $279.75 to $9.75. association, told the delegates that cash reserves of rural elec tric cooperatives should be used to make cash refunds to patrons whenever reserves exceed needs. He said that suggestions the reserves be invested were unrealistic. More than seven million bar rels of crude oil are produced daily. LBocwniie (Baft Food 20 FF at your grocers now The L .. ...I.
