Greece Seeking Share of Money Athens (UPIJ, The Greek government is making an all-out effort to collect iti share of the milliogs of dol lars being spent in Suropa each year0by Amergan tour ists, and the effort is paying off- o Tourism now ranks fourth as a producer of foreign in come. First comes the tobac co industry, then the famed Greek merchant . marine; the production and sale of. cur rants abroad is third. In 1952, 68,000 tourists vis ited Greece, and 15,000 of them were Americans. Ia 1956, there were 206,0000 ists, including 33,000 Ameri cans. Constantine Tsatos, minist er of the prime miister's of fice, told a group of 46 Am erican press representatives, here recently as guests of the Greek government and of Air France, that ttrist traffic this year has far exceedetl ifte 1956 record figures. Tstos believes Greece will kave had 250,000 tourists visiting its 300-Lsland kingdom by the end of feis year, o The welcome mat is out for the European tourist trade as well. One handicap has been a poor highway through Yugoslavia to the Greek bor der. In cooperation with the Italian government, an auto mobile ferry will operate be tween the southeastern tip of Italy and the Greek main land, starting in 1958. Most of 1957's foreign vis itors have come from France, Germany and Italy, but even the Russians are touring by bus and have been in Greece this year. , ; "We check the Russians carefully," said Tsatos. "We must be careful that they are indeed tourists. We have had long experience' in guarding against the Communists." Apartment Dwellers lite Portland Blaze Portland (UPD Occu pants of apartments on the second floor of a two-story building were evacuted tem porarily early today when a fire broke out on the first floor. No injuries were reported. Damage was estimated' at 520,000, principally to stores oh the ground floor. The blaze was believed to have started in a shoe store. Four alarms were turned in. Firemen controlled the blaze in half an hour. Charges Split Hawaiians in Statehood Bid Washington (UPI) Newly-arrived members of a Ha waiian delegation set out to day to try to unlock the Con gressional door to statehood for their territory this year. Eut charses of politics SDlit the islanders and made their task doubly difficult. Con gress is not in a mood to act this year anyway. The delegation, headed by Hawaii's Republican Gov. Wil liam F. Quinn, arrived here by plane Sunday with a party of other Republicans. To Hurt Chances John A. Burns, a Democrat and the territory's non-voting delegate to Congress, prompt ly charged the group was "po litically partisan" and said it would hurt Hawaii's chances for statehood now. He said the delegation was called here by Interior Secre tary Fred A. Seaton, with whom the group planned to confer today. Ouinn called for an all-out effort "to conquer the parlia mentary inertia" blocking ac tion on Hawaiian statehood in the House and Senate. He de clined to predict whether Congress would grant state hood this year but said "we've got an excellent chance." Could Muster Strength Quinn said if a vote were taken this week Hawaii could muster the same strength for statehood Alaska did in its successful bid one week ago. Nevertheless actual pros pects for Hawaiian admission to the union this year were considered dim. Leaders of both houses have explained it is too late in the session for the necessary maneuvering to get a statehood bill through. Chances are considered much better next year.

(UPI) Maximilian Yoncoski, a 79-year-old former coal miner, has gotten things down to essentials by setting up house keeping on his own burial plot. Ten years ago Max had a little trouble with his wife, so he sold his house and mov ed to the cemetery, bringing only an old upright piano and a dog. Here the Polish immi grant's way of life seems to prove that a home is what you make it. Using materials scavenged from the surrounding woods, he built a tarpaper and rag shack around his piano. He brought in a couch to sleep on and a wood-burning stove to cook on, and retired for life. In his regular interviews with curiosity-seeking" report ers and photographers, Max says he likes his hermit's life fine. People, he says, are noth ing but trouble. No Chopin In this neighborhood he can sing and play the , piano all night and get no complaints. Gum for Canines Contains Beef Cleveland, Ohio (UPI) Man's best friend can now join his master or mistress in one of the popular exercise of chewing gum. Maurice Gervais, owner of Gervais Dog College in near by Eastlake, is selling a gum for canines that is a beef prod uct. It comes in sticks about seven inches long and one inch wide of varying thick nesses. Gervais said some dogs chew the gum for about half an hour, then swajlow it. "Others chew it for a while, then drop it," sajd Gervais. "They pick it up and chew it laer. A really thrifty dog can gef two or three weeks of en joyment from a single stick." 'The gum is harmless and won't stick to hair or stain furniture or carpeting. He can sit around the house all day and stay out all night without becoming the subject of gossip. And when he wants to sleep, there are no disturbances to keep him awake. The only noise in the area is made by his six dogs the one he brought with him turned out to be female. Yoncoski seems to derive a maximum of cont e n t m e n t amid a minimum of comforts in his ramshackle home. His self-imposed exile is solitary, and, except for a few visits to town for provisions, he has little contact with other per sons. ' He spends" his days tending the graveyard, planting trees and flowers gathered from the surrounding woods, raking leaves and mending the fence. It would be a nice touch to report that the old coal miner relaxes with the soulful play ing of Chopin's music, but the fact is, that Max just bangs at the keys until he is ex hausted, .then . goes to his couch, spiritually renewed. Japanese Freighter Avoids Radioactivity Aboard the Meiwa.Maru in the western Pacific (UPI) The Japanese freighter Mei wa Maru moved away today from dangerous" radioactivity Peach Trees Get Crew Cut Look Hudsonville, Mich. (UPI) Peach trees on the Herbert De Kleine farm have crew cut look because of a mowing machine-type device which clips the tops 'of trees on his Hudsdnville farm. . . , -' De Kleine, a high school vo cational agriculture instruc tor, made the device from a hay mower, boom, pulleys and cables. It is mounted on the rear of a tractor and oper ated through a series of hy draulic control devices. "We onlx use it for two or three days, but when we do it saves us three to four weeks of work," said De Kleine. "We can't, afford to pick peaches up in. th top of .the tree any from the U. S. nuclear test ing grounds. Another vessel, the Chowa Maru, reported from a spot 300 miles northwest of . the Meiwa that it also ran into radioactivity! The freighter was 900 miles southeast of Bikini Atoll on Sunday when it detected ra dioactivity of 400 counts "per minute per liter in currents flowing from the direction of Bikini and. Eniwetok. . Today the vessel was mov ing out of the contamination zone believed to extend 900 miles downcurrent from Eni wetok. - Geiger counted instructions aboard the ship said a count of 400 was highly dangerous when contacted by the skin over a one-week period. The ship's crew apparently suffered no injuries.- About. J5 per cent of the current consumption of gaso line is used to move ordinary traffic along America's paved city streets and the network of intercity highways.. ; YOUR NEW Now's the smart time to shop at Wards-for fl ADA?
