RUSSIAN SPACE DOG The caption accom
panying this official Soviet photo recently re
ceived in the U.S., identifies this dog as one
being trained for space travel. It wears a
special suit that may be similar to the one
worn by the dog traveling in space in Rus
sia's second earth satellite. The Soviet cap
tion did not identify the numbers on the suit
which may indicate either some of the dog's
vital organs or parts of the special equipment.
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."

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
