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.

Jack worked in a few TV

Neither is worried about
the inactivity. They spend
their free time at Lakeside
Golf club across the street

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.

"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

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."

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.

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

testify because of illness. But
his accountant, James R
Bansley of Chicago, a secre
tary and Cecil Braund of Mi

Morgan said: "In view of
the fantastic action taken by
the company in destroying its

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.

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

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.
