Kirby is president of Alle ghany and will remain its i "money man" but over the years he has always followed , a policy of being a "silent I partner" in the railroad em : pire. Young ran the show, i Young, 60, who took his own life in Palm Beach, Fla., Saturday, was taken to Rhode j Island Monday in his private (railroad car for funeral serv I ices and burial Tuesday at I Portsmouth, seven miles from j his permanent residence at i Newport. He was buried in St. Mary's (Episcopal) churchyard next to the body of his only child, Eleanor, a plane crash victim at the age of 23. Kirby and Young had been together through thick and thin since the 1930s. With Kirby supplying the money and Young the leadership, the two men pulled a financial coup in 1937 when they bought the bankrupt Alle ghany Corp. for a million dol lars. That holding company, put together by Cleveland's fa mous Van Sweringen broth ers, controlled close to $2 bil lion in railroad assets, includ ing Chesapeake & Ohio, Erie, Nicket Plate, Missouri Pacific and Pere Marquette.

Antarc tica IP) Geoffrey Pratt, 33, a British scientist making a trans-Antarctic trip with Dr. Vivian Fuchs, has become seriously ill with carbon mon oxide poison and U.S. Navy planes will fly in oxygen, it has been reported. Fuchs reported by radio to the American base here that Pratt, a seismologist, had col lapsed twice with monoxide poisoning at the point 150 miles from the South Pole. The elevation there is about 10,000 feet and the tempera ture is 20 degrees below zero. No Details No details were received as Procedure Changes Cut Court Case Load Chicago (IPI New Jersey and New York managed to cut their backlog of court cases last year despite an in crease in case loads, accord ing to the American Judica ture society. Cases awaiting trial in New Jersey were down 13 per cent, while the case loads in creased 15 per cent. Exten sion of court hours, transfer of minor civil cases from the county and superior courts to district courts and the addi tion of judges and staff were the reasons given for the speedup. The backlog in New York courts has been cut by a new rule this year that say cases may not be filed with the court until attorneys are ready to try them. to how Pratt was poisoned. It was speculated he had breathed monoxide either in the expedition's two - man tents heated with primus stoves or from fumes from the sno-cat vehicles used as trans portation on the 1,300 mile trek. The Navy said two P2V Neptunes would fly oxygen to the Fuchs party. One plane may attempt a landing with the second standing by as a safety observer but the Navy said any decision to land was up to the pilot. Otherwise the planes will drop oxygen cylin ders. Dr. Allan Rogers, a doctor traveling with the Fuchs par ty, reported he had given Pratt what oxygen there was available about 200 liters. The Neptunes can carry in a cylinder of 6,000 liters, enough for at least two days. Rogers reported Pratt be came unconscious Monday, recovered, and tiien lapsed into unconsciousness again Tuesday. At last reports he was conscious again. Hillary May Observe Sir Edmund' Hillary, the New Zealander who blazed a trail for Fuchs across the An tarctic continent from Scott Base to the pole, also may fly in on the observer plane. Dr. Griffiths Pugh, a British phys iologist, may land with the other plane. The planes will carry six crewmen each. Cmdr. Vernon J. Coley of Oakland, Calif., commander of Navy Squadron VX6 will pilot one and Lt. Richard Koch of Greenwood, R.I., will pilot the second. 3 ,v ihI T Salem (ffl Katherlne Musa, The Dalles Democrat, has filed for reelection as state representative from Wasco county.

In 1740 Eng lish Parliament bought one of these nostrums against gall stones for 5000 pounds so you can see these were very valu able and it was such sales at these that brought about the patent laws as protection for such inventions ...
