Cherry Growers
Voted Protection
Washington (UPD The
Senate Tuesday approved by
voice vote an amendment to
the reciprocal trade bill by
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.),
which would permit raw ma
terial producers to seek pro
tection against imports of a
processed form of the same
commodity.
The amendment was design
ed chiefly to protect Oregon
cherry growers against can
died cherry imports.
The amendment caused a
split between Morse and Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
who opposed the amendment;
Morse told the Senate he re
spected Neuberger's decision
And criticized "those who
draw great issues between the
two senators from Oregon"
when they disagree.

"These boys all are not
hoodlums because they go to
701, Brooklyn. The truth is
that the school they come
from was very bad for them.
The teachers in their schools
could not get along with them
very good, so that is why they
are here now.
"In 701 we have good
lunches which are free . . We
get out at 2:10 and go to the
subway in groups.
Educational Movies
"The great number in
classes is 15 boys (when we
'doubleup'). 1 Monday before
lunch we have educational
movies.
"We have a school library
but we cannot take books
home.
"The school is an old one
but it is getting fixed up fast
. .
The author of this hymn
was, of course, one of the 300
New York boys who had been
suspended last March from
regular schools which many
of them had been terrorizing
and placed in two "700"
schools.
One of them was set up in
Greenwich Village, despite
the uproar . of "neighbors"
who made it plain at the be
ginning that they did not want
"hoodlums" in their midst.
But this resentment ha$ all
but evaporated, and the boys
have behaved themselves. The
Kiwanis and Lions clubs in
the "Village" have taken the
lads under their wing.
Book Welcoming Gesture
One neighbor sent each boy
a book as a welcoming ges
ture. Jackie Robinson, the
former major league baseball
star, came downtown to ad
dress one of the school s week
ly assembly programs. He
promised that each student
would receive a new suit of
clothes when school reopens
in the fall.
William .A. Hamm, the
Board of Education's Associ
ate Superintendent in charge
of the "700" schools, suggests
they may be the answer to
"blackboard jungles" in other
large cities.
Pupil Costs Higher
He concedes that it costs
approximately twice as much
($800 a year) to keep a pupil
in a "700" school than in a
regular school, but. Hamm
points out that a reform
school costs the taxpayers sev
eral thousand dollars for each
inmate.
But who can measure in
dollars and cents such things
as the girl in one "700" school
who was fashioning a cross
from plastic foam blocks?
It was shortly before Fath
er's Day. "It's for my daddy's
grave," she said proudly.
'Wyalt Earp' Sued
For Bodily Harm
Hollywood (UPD Hand
some Hugh O'Brian, televi
sion's Wyatt Earp, was ac
cused of inflicting "bodily in
jury" on a woman today in a
S65.000 damage suit on file
in court.
The action was brought by
a woman identified as Zelia
Bennett, who was reported to
be a friend of the television
actor's houseboy.
As for O'Brian, he said he
"didn't lay a hand on her"
and was baffled by the whole
thing.
them. That indicated the
spraying was intended to be
defensive though not partic
ularly against people
So Eisener constructed an
"arena" in a laboratory dish
lined with the paper, and in
it pitted cockroaches against
insects which eat them the
ant, the praying mantis, the
spider and carabid beetle.
Ants and beetles "attacked
readily," Eisener reported to
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
They rushed right up to the
cockroaches and grabbed on.
Instantly the paper all around
was stained blue-black. The
eye couldn't see the spraying,
but it was happening. And in
stantly the ants and the beet
les retreated, "before they
had inflicted noticable in
jury." And as they retreated, their
bodies were i n contortions
from partial paralysis. They
recovered quickly. But they
had had enough. The spiders
also were repelled, but only
by mature cockroaches.
This may explain why this
is a fine year for cockroaches.
They've "learned" many
tribes of them to deal suc
cessfully within their body
chemistry with the insecti
cides which used to devastate
their populations. Science is
working on new insecticides
to give them their comeup
pance.

Hopes Folks at Home
Get Things Straight
By JACK V. FOX
United Press International
Beirut (UPI) "I only
hope that people back home
are getting it straight and
that there isn't a lot of arm
waving and breast-beating
about our boys under fire."
The speaker was a young
Marine lieutenant from Tarry
town, N. Y. He is a Princeton
graduate who now commands
one of the Marine companies
stationed in the dock area of
downtown Beirut.
Subject to Firing
His company has been sub
jected to firing from rebel
snipers for the past five days.
"For Pete's sake, don't use
my name or I'll get my head
chopped off," he said.- "But

"I am convinced they are

I saw one guy up on a roof
raise his rifle and fire into the
air in three different ' direc

pleasant to think they could
hit you if they wanted, but it
sure could be worse."
Boredom Main Enemy
The fact is, the main enemy
of American troops in Leba
non now is boredom. Marines
on the beach long ago dug
their defenses, and since then
about the only break has been
a daily dip in the Mediter
ranean, a few yards away.
Pvt. Donald Knock of Cam

sure is salty, a lot more than
the Atlantic, but it feels awful
good after sitting out there
in the sun."
Next to him was Sgt. James
Cabbagestalk, of Pittsburgh.
He waved expansively at the
blue sea stretching off from
the beach. "Room with a
view," he said.

feel insulted if your host
serves you the right leg of a
chicken. Pablo Sanjenis, chef
at Mexico City's Hotel Plaza
Vista Hermosa, says a chick

than the right. He backs up
this contention by pointing
out that the chicken sleeps
on his right leg and develops
greater muscles on that side.

Stops Constipation
Due to "Aging Colon"
New laxative discovery re-creates 3 essentials
for normal regularity.
As you grow older, the internal mus
cles of your colon wall also age, lose
the strength that propels waste from
the body. Stagnant bowel contents be
come so dry and shrunken that they
fail to stimulate the urge to purge.
Relief, doctors say, lies in a new
laxative principle. Old-style bulks and
moisteners may create gas, take 3 or
4 days for relief. Old-style salts and
drugs cramp and gripe the entire
system. Of all laxatives, only new
Colonaid gives you its special 3-way
relief that works only on the lower
colon (area of constipation).
(1) Colonaid moisturizes dry,
hardened waste for easy passage with
out pain or strain. (2) Colonaid's
unequalled rebulking action helps re
tone flabby colon muscles. (3 And
Colonaid acts gently, on the nerve .
