TWO VERY FUNNY BOOKS
Two of my favorite authors
have committed books recently.
Richlrd Maney'i "Fanfare" is
supposed to b his autobiogra
phy though it barely scratches
the surface of Mr. Maney's mul
tifarioui exjritnces. The other
is Jean Kerr no has aimply as
sembled ft eoIJction of pieces
sh has don for obscure maga-
(ijnes (Iik "Th Saturday Even
ing Post."
You flron't find any funnier
'book than ths to anywhere
(gfid I'm thinking of running
Q$iem as an -entry for Christmas
presents among those few peo
.' I feel confident would thor
oughly appreciate them. "Fan
(Jare" to give Mr. Maney'i age
precedence ovar Miss Kerr's
eauty is th record of a sort
of Broadway that is hard to find
any more and Maney, whose
flashing candor hat paralyzed
lome of the most monumental
(jlgoS in the theatar, expresses
his opinions nd tells his tales
ith ringing authority. On the
question, for example, of Wil-
liam Gaxton, who for a time was
leading man in one hit musical
after another:
"No one with so little talent
ever rose so high in the theater.
&n indifferent dancer and sing
er, he had the nerve of Willie
Sutton and an excellent set of
teeth. Of midnight in (E.
(Ray) Goetz's suite in the Ritz
in Boston, I listened to Gaxton
argue that he and he alone
should be on the stage at the fin
(je of the first act. The inscrut
able Goetz peered at his oppon
ent over his champagne glass,
fascinated by th range of his
paranoia."
THERE'S a whole chapter de
voted to Billy Rose, for
whom Maney labored as press
(gfeent for soma years and for
whose theatrical judgment he
ha, withering words. "Knowing
ieaa About the, drama than he
;ineW about the migrations of
the Artie tern," he- reports blith
(y at one point, "Rose could
n't cop with th 'The Great
Qfcagoo' onca it ha been blud
;feoned. People to whom he
;fave passan didn't ahow up. He
(flowered when I ugjested we
Resort to subpoenas."
fHAT, I shoulfl ay, is a fine
example of the Maney style
(ffchich is uniquely hia own and
that overworked word. in
imitable. If it reminds you
lltrongly of Tallulah Bankhead's
tyl, it is only because Mr.
Jlaney has for a quarter century
been Miss Bankhead's too arti
culate ghost. This is not to im
ply that Miss Bankhead hasn't
brain of her own but her own
prose style was not considered
susceptible to editing. If Tal
lulah had written her own auto
biography, it's quite possible it
would have been the first book
ever penned with a single non
stop sentence, conceivably with
out even a comma in it.
Though consumed by scorn
for most of the theatrical gen
iuses Maney still has great re
spect for Jed Harris whom Noel
Coward called "Destiny's tot'.'
and he tells you why in typical
Maney fashion: "Jed and I hit
It off from the start. He didn't
like to go to bed either. We
shared a suspicion of the thea
ter s anointed, we had an
other common Interest: Jacques
Foumier. Jacques was a left
handed first baseman, a wicked
hitter but confused when trying
to subdue a ground ball. Jac

Our mutual interest in Jacques

cood deal about both men.

MOW as to Jean Kerr, she is
' tne closest thing to a genu
ine humorist we have had
around since Robert Benchley
died (apart, of course, from
James Thurber who isn t very
active any more). By humorist
I mean she writes of common
things of husbands and houses
and children with great human
ity and tremendous perception.
I don't know which subject she's
funnier on but I suspect it's
children. For instance: "My real
problem with children is that I
haven't any imagination. I'm
always warning them against
the commonplace defections
while they are planning the bi
zarre and unusual. Christopher
gets up ahead of us on Sunday
morning and has long since been
given a list of clear directives:
'Don't wake the baby,' 'Don't
go outside In your pajamas,'
'Don't eat cookies before break
fast. But I never told him
'Don't make flour paste and glue
together all the pages of the
magazine - section of "The New
York Times." ' Now, I tell him,
of course."

quired, happened to the four-and
a-half-year-old blonde who did
the pushing? "Well, I don't
know but I HEAR she has to
stand in the corner for the rest
of her life," said her son. The
name of the book, by the way,
is "Please Don't Eat the
Daisies."

Medford Man Guest
Editor of Safety
Piece in Magazine
Wallace R. Peabody, division
meter repairman for the California-Pacific
Utilities company
in Medford, recently was guest
editor for a safety message in
the company's November issue
of Safety Spots.
Peabody notes that the first
suggestion in safety is "using
common sense, reasoning or log
ic applied to the job you are
doing." He continues that a sec
ond important item in safety is
"the willingness to spend the
necessary time to do it thorough
ly and safely."
Another ingredient of safety,
he writes, is "know your own
capabilities and limitations
Know what you can do safely,
and what you are not capable of
doing." Another phase of the
same Item is not to overload
the capacity of whatever it may
be that is being used, he said.
Copies from Three R's
"Fourth", he continued, "is
something I have copied after
the three R's they used to speak
of in school. Mine turns out to
be H.R.R. H equals heeding the
voice of experience which is
mainly learning and profiting
from the expeience and errors
of others. The first R equals
reading the rules and under
standing them. The last R is
for remembering to apply or use
what you have heard, seen or
read."
Peabody mentioned over con
fidence" in ourselves and a
lack of healthy respect for the
potential power of what we
handle, if it gets out of control.
Peabody joined the company
in Grants Pass as a serviceman,
and was transferred to Medford
as a gas meterman in 1948. Prior
to that he worked in Medford
until 1942, when he joined the
Seabees.
Six Bombers Fly
To Show Power
Washington OH The Air
Force said Saturday that six B52
jet bombers on a 9,250-mile
round-trip flight to Argentina
were over the Amazon river at
11:00 a.m. e.s.t.
The big bombers, this coun
try's H-bomb carriers, are being
refueled in flight and no attemtp
is being made to set either a dis
tance or speed record.
But the flight is another dem
onstration of this country's strik
ing power which President Ei
senhower and other leaders have
stressed in the wake of Russia's
advances in missiles.
The planes took off from the
Homestead Air Force Base in
Florida at 5:50 a.m.
The Air Force said the flight
is scheduled to circle Buenos
Aires this afternoon and head
back for the United States. They
are to land tomorrow at the
Loring Air Force Base in Maine.
The big jet bombers are be
ing refuelled in flight by KC
135 and KC97 tanker planes.
The Air Force, as usual, declined
to say how many refuelings
were required.

Governor Grateful
Salem HP Gov. Robert D.
Holmes Friday night said he was
grateful that the Legislature had
confined its efforts almost solely
to tax relief and that the special
session had concluded its work
on the two specific requests he
had made in calling it.
In a statement at the close of
the session, the Governor said:
"I am grateful that this spec
ial session has concluded its
its work on my specific requests;
one for some income tax relief
and the second for property tax
relief through the basic school
support increase of $10 a census
child.
"While the amount of sur
plus remaining is somewhat less
than I had hoped, I do feel the
compromise has been made on

He continued, "As I explained
to the people when Democrats
in the House made the first move
to compromise the deadlock, this
position could result in a 10 per
cent increase in taxes in the next
biennium. However, if projected
revenues exceed the estimates,
some lesser amount of increase
if any at all might be neces
