Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- HERE ARE TWO wise bits of advice irora Bernard Baruch, one of the most successful of all speculators: 1. If you are holding a lot of stocks, and the market slips Into a persistent decline, "sell to the sleeping point" That is, sell enough stocks so that you no longer will be tossing about in bed worrying, no matter how far down the market may go. "When we are worried," counsels Baruch, "it is be cause our subconscious mind is trying to telegraph us some message of warning." 2. It may be wise to pe riodically turn into Cash most of your speculative holdings and virtually re tire from the market for a while. This enables you to get a fresh, objective outlook on the general conditions. "No gen eral," concludes Baruch, "keeps his troops fighting all the time, nor does he go into battle without some' part of his forces held back in reserve." Bill Cullen remarks that if you're not convinced smoking will make a woman' voice rasp. Just try flicking some pipe ashea on her moat expensive carpet. C 1958. by Bennett Cerf.

Two Starred In their salad days they starred in a series of happy so-luckv pictures titled "Two Guys From . . ." Texas and Milwaukee were a couple of the places. Over the past two yeirs they've been "Two guys from nowhere." Morgan has been in semi-retirement while In Ihe Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Incidental information: Another Portland zoo pen guin died, making 19 that have succumbed so far. Seventeen of the big Antarc tic birds are still alive, but at least one of them isn't ex pected to live. By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer Jack worked in a few TV shows. Neither is worried about the inactivity. They spend their free time at Lakeside Golf club across the street from Warner Brothers, their old studio. "Dennis is my best friend," Carson continued. "We've known one another since we were kids in Milwaukee. I remember when I first went into vaudeville he wanted to join my act. I told him we didn't need a singer. Played Chicago "Four years later I was playing fleabag theaters in Chicago, and he was the toast of the town singing at the Palmer House. "I came to Hollywood shortly after Dennis did, and we both signed up with Warner Brothers." Jack explained his long layoff, saying he was "laying back for pay TV." He said Dennis had turned down many offers for TV and pic tures because "He was wait ing for the" right thing to come along. "This picture titled 'No Longer Mourn' is exactly what we both want to do. We talked about making a television series together, but rejected the idea because the cost would be too high." TTmmmm. Think how much better off these birds would have been if they had been allowed to STAY AT HOME DOWN IN ANTARCTICA and mind their own business. Maybe there's a lesson in this penguin incident for us Americans. PRESIDENT EISENHOW ER'S pattern for a step-ped-up education program has gone to congress. It is tailored to meet the nation's current needs especially the need for more scientists. The plan calls for a billion dollars in federal aid over a period of four years. Includ ed in it are 40,000 four-year college scholarships for high school graduates particu larly those with an aptitude for science. Another 5500 scholarships would cover graduate students. Elemen tary and high schools would ..receive some of the money to improve science and mathe matics teaching. The plan calls for no money to BUILD MORE SCHOOLS. ON THE other side of the fence, Senator John Ken nedy of Massachusetts (who is expected to be a candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for President in 1960) lashes out at Ike for dropping a school BUILDING plan from his educational program. Kennedy says he will intro duce legislation calling for li 2 billion dollars worth of school construction over a five-year period. A similar measure was killed on the floor of the house of repre sentatives last year by a five vote margin. OSC Science Enrollment Up Corvallis (IP) The School of Science enrollment at Ore gon State College has jump ed 30 per cent this winter compared to a year ago, and college officials credit the record sign-up to the new na tional emphasis on science and to the vast neW career opportunities that science fields offer graduates. Dean of Science F. A. Gil- fillian said that the demand for science graduates has been steadily increasing for years, with earth satellites and guid ed missiles resulting in a surge in the call for more and better trained scientists. He added that no end to the de mand can be seen. At OSC, the number of stu dents majoring in mathe matics is up 26 per cent this winter; physics, up 22 per cent; chemistry, 37 per cent; geology, 32 per cent; and sci ence education, 51 per cent. The number of science stu dents totals 1183, compared to 912 last year. The added numbers come from gains in new freshmen and transfers from other schools on campus. Boss Only Joking But Woman Eenefits Salem W The State Un employment Compensa t i o n Commission has decided that one boss carried a "joke" too far. It awarded full unemploy ment compensation benefits to a woman who quit her job after her employer called her "on old bag" despite protests from the employer that he was only joking. Engineers Said 'Most Deplorable' Union Probed Washington IP) Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D-N.C.) today as sailed the operating engineers as the most "deplorable" union yet to be investigated by the Senate Rackets Com mittee. , Ervin's charge followed disclosure that the Newark, N.J., local of the union had "invested" S238.000 in con victed extortionist Joseph S (Joey) Fay. The Senate rackets investi gator said the inquiry had shown conditions in the union were worse than those found in the investigation of the scandal-rocked Teamsters Union. Ervin said there was a "total lack of democracy" in in the operating engineers Pleads Fifth Committee Chairman Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) called upon Chicago contrac tor S. A. Healty to "change his mind before breakfast" and answer questions on whether he was in collusion with Engineers Union Presi dent Thomas E. Maloney. Healty became the first wit ness of the current inquiry to invoke the Fifth Amendment when he refused Wednesday to explain how his company, one of the nation's largest contractors, had spent $228, 923 from 1950 to 1956. Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the sum was listed as non-deductible ex penses on company income tax returns over those years. Any "payoffs" would be in that tax category, Kennedy said. Source of Income Kennedy said testimony would be produced to show "alleged falsification" of union books enabled Maloney to gain "an alleged source of considerable income." Malo ney, 74,. was not expected to testify because of illness. But his accountant, James R Bansley of Chicago, a secre tary and Cecil Braund of Mi ami, Fla., skipper of the union's yacht were sum moned. The committee disclosed Wednesday that Maloney had refused to reveal the contents of 10 safe deposit boxes held by himself and his wife. The boxes were located in Miami, New York, Chicago, Los An geles and here. lished. Morgan said: "In view of the fantastic action taken by the company in destroying its trolley bus system in an at tempt to establish a legal point, and the even more fantastic action of the city council in approving such de struction, I shall be guided by the obvious desires of the majority of the council, Authority Granted "I shal not interpose ob jections to the proposed ordi nance unless and until my power to do so is expressly affirmed by the courts or by the attorney general," he added. The Portland city council has granted Rose City Trans it authority to pull its electric trolleys out of service and re place them with gas buses. Further attempts will also be made to place an emergen cy clause on an ordinance granting RCT a fare increase from 20 to 25 cents. Morgan said he was cor rectly quoted before the coun cil last week that "there is some question whether gas buses are a utility under Ore gon law, but there is no doubt that electric trolley buses are a utility." Rose City Transit pulled off its trolleys in an apparent ef fort to escape from Morgan's' jurisdiction and has threaten ed to go out of business Feb. 27 unless a fare increase is granted. Portland (IPI The Portland Traction Company served no tice Wednesday that it would appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court a writ of mandamus ordering it to restore passen ger service on its interurban trolley lines between Portland and Oregon City and Port land and Bellrose. The peremptory writ of mandamus ordering the com pany to restore passenger service on the interurban lines was granted Tuesday by Presiding Circuit Judge Charles W. Redding on re quest of Public Utility Com missioner Howard Morgan. The company halted passen ger service on the lines Sat ' .s.:u?sL Thursday, January 30, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB ARMY SATELLITE The Army prepared a Jupiter C missile for an attempt to launch a satellite this week ahead of the Navy's trouble plagued Vanguard. Photo shows the Army's satellite and final stage rocket, de signed to orbit as a single unit, under preparation at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Scaffold Collapses Killing Four Men Port Arthur, Tex. IIP) Four men were killed and seven injured when one end of a construction scaffold snapped loose, hurling men and equipment 123 feet to the ground. The men were employees of the M. W. Kellogg Construc tion Co. They were building a cracking unit tower for the Texas Company refinery. The workers fell from a height equal to about an 11 story building when bolts holding the 20-foot long scaf fold sheared off without warning Wednesday. Zolumbia Trader on Way Back To Portland Portland (I? The freighter Columbia Trader, damaged early this month in a Pacific storm, was on its way back to Portland today for repairs. The ship suffered a 20-foot crack in its main deck while about 700 miles southwest of Adak and put into Adak where temporary repairs were made. It was carrying 10,000 bulk wheat for Japan. Neuberger Bill ResfricisFPC Washington (IP! Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) Wednesday introduced a bill which would put new restric tions on the Federal Power Commission's authority to is sue licenses for new dams. J$s measure would require Interior Department clearance of dam plans before the FPC could issue licenses in areas where projects affect migra tory fish and game conserva tion. ' The senator said his bill was an outgrowth of the re cent FPC decision in the Mountain Sheep-Pleasant Val ley case. On Jan. 20, the com mission ruled that a high dam at the Nez Perce site on the Snake river between Idaho and Oregon was feasible. Neuberger said a dam at Nez Perce would be "disas trous" to salmon runs in the Columbia basin because the project would blockade the principal spawning ground. In his new bill, Neuberger asked that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, an agency of the Interior Department, be given "collateral jurisdiction" in FPC decisions involving im portant fisheries resources." Baghdad Nations End Conference Ankara, Turkey OP) The Baghdad Pact' nations today wound up a four-day confer ence that was pulled back from the brink of Communist attack and new U.S. money to build up a Middle East communications network. A communique issued after the talks noted that Commu nist efforts to penetrate the Mid-east had increased since last summer, but noted that the pact itself was the strong est barrier against further in roads. The communique also singled out Turkey for cour ageously withstanding Soviet propaganda pressure last fall. The final statement of the parley showed the strong in fluence of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who sat in as an observer since the U.S. is not a full member of the pact. There was no doubt that Dulles' promises of Air.erican aid to the alliance members Britain, Irag, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan saved the meeting from failure. There was only one last minute hitch. This was re ported to have developed when Iraq, an Arab nation and a bitter foe of Israel, de manded that the Palestine question be included in the communique. Iraq wants Is rael to withdraw to its boun daries as originally set by the United Nations. But the text sidestepped that issue. Boys Shoot Truck Load of Dynamite . Lebanon, Tenn. (IP Two teen-agers "just shooting at things," fired a bullet Wed nesday into a truck load of dynamite, setting off a blast that killed one of the youths and shook a three mile area Glenn C. Gully, 15, Leba non, was killed. Charles Pru- itt, 17, his companion, was seriously injured. Pruitt said the two were "just shooting at things and we saw this trailer." "I don't know what was in it. We shot at it four or five times." "I fired the last shot and then I don't know what hap pened. The next thing I knew I was crawling around and calling for Glenn." The boys had fired into a trailer - truck loaded with 1,500 pounds of dynamite. About 5,000 trucks enter or leave New York City every da:. SENATOR KENNEDY is a smart and able young man. and it isn't impossible that he may be our next Presi dent. But The prevailing opinion among our ablest and most thoughtful educators appears to be that we have school rooms enoueh to do the job. Our GREAT need, these educators seem' to think, are STUDENTS WHO ARE WILLING TO TACKLE TOUGH . SUBJECTS LIKE MATHEMATICS. SCIENCE AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES. Announcement Eugene V.
