Ship on Drawing Joatt
And not too lon in th fu
ture. Q
The ship that carried "Bucfc
Rogers" into his private solar
system many year$ ago now is
on the drawing board, accord
ing to Krafft Ehricke of the
Convair Division of General
Dynamics Corp. of San Diego,
Calif.
Ehricke wouldn't go furth
er than that Wednesday in
discussing the proposed space
ship, other than ( to say that
it was a private plan which
had drawn the interest of the
government.
But, the scientist predicted
that with nuclear power the
United States could set up a
research instrument station
on the moon "within 10 to 15
years."
He said he had developed a
system to land instruments on
the moon by enclosing them
in inflatable rubber contain
ers which could be dropped
on any partf the "moon sur
face like a "bouncing rubber
ball."
Landing units would be car
ried aloft in a lunar satellite,
inflated and dropped toward
the moon's surface. Reverse
recfctt thruits would bring
tht gts inflated containers
on "softly."
Rear Admiral John E.
Clark, deputy director of the
Advanced Research Project
Agency, predicted a manned
ttcllite would be fired into
orbit by the United States in
two or three years.
Reisoninr power of a hu
man crew is necessary to
maneuver where the govern
ment wants the satellite to
f o, the admiral said.
"We must let the automatic
instrumentation do what it
can do better, and let man do
that for which he is best
qualified," Clark said.
"It will be a short trip. We
will probably bring him back
after one trip around."
Lumber Freight
Rate Hearing Asked
.Washington (UPI) The
chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has
been asked to schedule
an immediate hearing on the
proposed lumber rate 'reduc
tion on shipments from Ore
gon to California and Arizona.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
told Chairman Howard Frees
of the 'ICC that he has re
ceived scores of communica
tions on both sides of the
Commission's recent suspen
sion order. Morse said a de
cision will be handed down
within a very short time after
completion of the- hearings.
He said the issue greatly af
fects the economy of hundreds
of individuals and many com
munities, throughout Oregon.

The House agreed Wednes
day to a five-year extension
by a 317 to 98 vote, thus
giving President Eisenhower
a legislative victory of sur

The bill would allow the
President to cut tarrif rates
an additional 25 per cent in
negotiating trade agreements
with other countries.
Flanders is a member of
the Senate Finance " commit

Mickey Rooney Amazed

Editor's note: Mickey Rooney
bounces to the typewriter to deny
that-he is making a comeback
Says Mickey, -"I've never .been
away."
By MICKEY ROONEY
For
United Press International.
Hollywood (UPI) I keep
hearing and reading about my
"amazing and stupendous
comeback" and am ' frankly
quite amazed by both the
noun and the preceding ad
jectives. "
What amazes me about the
whole thing is this comeback
business. How, I ask,, could I
come back when I never went
away? - . .;i
The fact is that while I
wasn't away, I might have
been.- A couple of years ago,
Coffee Prices
Lowered Two Cents
New York (UPI) Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.
has cut prices, two cents a
pound on two of its own
brands of coffee sold at retail,
dropping prices to the lowest
in five years. .
The action follows similar
cuts Wednesday by Grand
Union Co. Both, moves reflect
surplus crops in Latin Ameri
can coffee producing coun
tries.
I was what show' business
calls "cold." ' -
What happened, .". frankly,
was that my manager, Red
Doff, heard that Martin Man-
ulis, producer of CBS, "Play
house 90," had on his sched
ule a lV-hour drama about a
despicable television corned
ian who made his own life
and the ,lives of all those who
surrounded him unbearable.
The rumor was out that
several of TV's top comics had
turned down the role because
they didn't want to appear
before the public in such a
miserable characterization.
We grabbed it so fast we
could Hdt'have cauglit our
selves with a head start.
"The comedian" was the
beginning of Rooney's new
deal. Right around the time
of the telecast, I was lucky
enough to land an Oscar nomi
nation for "The Bold and the
Brave," a fine picture that
somehow "escaped."
Escaped when applied to a
movie means that the picture
wasn't considered important
to publicize properly and
hence played to the minimum
possible audiences.
How did "The Comedian"
and the Oscar nomination
help the cause? The com
ments were favorable and pro
ducers started to offer me
other roles. Before long I
had enough offers to keep
busy for the next two years.

Bock Stairs: Ike's Honorary Degreos
By DAYTON MOORE
United Press International
Washington (UPI) Back
stairs at the White House:
The doctorate of laws con
ferred upon President Eisen
hower at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Tuesday was the 41st
honorary degree he has re
ceived. Ten foreign and 31 U. S.
schools have so honored him.
They ranged from small col
leges . such as Gettysburg
near his Pennsylvania farm
to Oxford University in Eng
land. They include Harvard,
Princeton, Yale and Colum
bia universities.
Eisenhower got his first
honorary degree from Queens
University of Belfast, Ireland,
in August, 1945, when he was
the top general of the victori
ous Allied forces in World
War II. Two other foreign
universities Louvain in
Belgium and Oxford also
conferred honorary degrees
RETIRED LAWYER DIES
Norfolk, Conn. (UPI) Ferrars
Heaton Tows, a retired law
yer, died here on Tuesday at
the age of 82. He was well
known as a philatelist and
also was a prominent Mason.
Tows practiced law in New
York for many years after
graduating in 1902 from the
Columbia University school
of law.
upon him that year,
His top year for honorary
degrees was 1946 when he got
them from seven American
and four foreign schools, in
1948, he received seven
two foreign and five Ameri
can. He didn't get a one in
1949 and 1951; It has been
one, two, three or four for
other years since 1945.
All 12 of Eisenhower's hon
orary degrees since he be
came president have been
American. He also was
awarded 19 American . ones
before he took over at the
White House. His last foreign
honorary degree was confer
red by the University of Ath
ens, Greece, in March, 1952.
The President limited his
participation in graduation
exercises this year to Mary
land schools Mount St.
Mary's College at Emmits
burg, the U. S. Naval Aca
demy and Johns Hopkins.
He probably will be invited
to deliver another commence
ment address at Emittsburg
next year. Another Roman
Catholic school there, Saint
Joseph College, then will cele
brate the sesquicentennial of
its founding, as Mount St.
Mary's did this year. Mount
St. Mary's is for men, St.
Joseph for women.
Eisenhower did Mount St.
Mary's a favor in 1919. As a
major commanding Camp
Colt at Gettysburg he sent
two Army physicians to help
the college fight an influenza
epidemic.
The President's top White
House aide, Sherman Adams,
is noted for his New England
dourness. Seldom has he
shown much of a sense of
humor since coming to Wash
ington. Consequently, it came as
quite a surprise when Adams
lightened a recent commence
ment address with a story on
himself. After reading the
lewon at an Episcopal ehureh
services here commemoratinc
o
the bicentennial of the birth
of President James Monroe,
Adams received a very elder
ly parishioner who always
carried an umbrella to church
even on sunny Sundays. The
parishioner praised Adams
clearly enunciated reading of
the lesson and added:
"It is truly regrettable that
you ire a statesman with a
vast salary instead of a decent
clergyman with a modestly
earned stipend in the place of
my friendly enemy Dr. Eld
ridge (the pastor), for his
preaching has proved as use
less as your statesmanship."
