Try and -By BENNETT CERF- TT WAS RAINING cats and dogs, but a gallant driver saw a A woman alone in the mud trying to change a flat tire, and couldn't bear passing her by. He completed the job for her and, soaked to the skin, ex claimed jovially, '"There, lit tle lady, that's done." "Quiet," she ordered him. "You'll wake ud mv hus band.

"Where's your girl friend?" The plumber clapped a hand to his forehead. "Gadzooks!" he exclaimed, "I've forgotten my wench." Paul Smith defines a bachelor as a gent who comes to his office every A.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Let's talk about people to day starting with John Foster Dulles. . He's quite a person. For days he had been in Walter Reed Army hospital in Washington resting up, according to the official ex planation. For goodness knows how long, he had been commuting all over the world. That's wearing on a 70-year-old. I think most of us must agree he had a rest coming. But time ran out on him. The Russians are acting up again. This time about West Berlin. Something must be done to checkmate their lat est deviltry. Who must do it? Why, John Foster Dulles, of course. This is foreign affairs, and Dulles is America's for eign minister. SO HE gets out of his hos pital bed, calls briefly on President Eisenhower on his way to the airport, then climbs into a plane and heads for Paris. He lands at Orly Airfield, in a Paris suburb, climbs into a car and in al most less time than it takes to tell it he is in a heavy con ference with our allies in the West Berlin business. . Whatever else he is. he is tough. It must be added that he is DEDICATED. HE ISN'T popular either at home or abroad. But Dean Acheson, Dulles im mediate predecessor, wasn't popular. Nor was General George C. Marshall, Acheson's predecessor. Why? I'll risk a guess. For a LONG time, the United States rf iSl -THUR. - FRI. v ' FROM 9:30 to 9:00 P.M.

HHHAT leads us to another A personage. Robert Murphy, our state department's top trouble -shooter, tells the Common wealth Club in San Francisco that in proposing that the Big Four powers pull out of Berlin the Russians may have "led with their chins." What he means is that the Russkies may have opened up a Pandora's Box in Berlin and MIGHT get badly stung by the troubles that will fly out of it. He is intimating that they might get shoved out of Berlin themselves. TF JUST ANYBODY had said that, it wouldn't be partic ularly significant. Instead, we would put it down, probably, as mere wishful thinking. But this man Murphy is a realistic, able and RE SOURCEFUL diplomat. He finishes a surprising percent age of the things he starts. I can't help wishing that Rob ert Murphy might sit down in his spare time if he has any spare time and out line a foreign policy that in his opinion would be accur- j ately tailored to the needs of PRESENT DAY America. NOW for a few words about Senator Lyndon Johnson, of Texas, Democratic leader of the so-called "upper house" of our Congress. He is a Southerner, born and bred. But he tells the South, with particular refer STORE HOURS THIS m New Try Made To End Paper Strike New York -OB- The na tion's top labor mediator tries again today to end New York's week-long newspaper strike but he said there was "no basis at this time for opti mism." Joseph F. Finnegan, chief of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation service flew here from Washington to try to iron out differences between the publishers of nine major dailies and the striking mail and newspaper deliverers' un ion. He said both groups would send negotiators to the region al mediation office today, but he was not sure the two teams would meet jointly. WIDOW DIES New York-OE-Mrs. Virginia Gillette White, 71, widow of Thomas J. White, former gen eral manager of the Hearst organization, died at St. Luke's hospital Monday after a brief illness. White died in" 1948. SPELLMAN SEES POPE Vatican City - OD - Francis Cardinal Spellman, archbish op of New York, was received in private audience today by Pope John XXIII. ence to Alabama, where ill advised Southerners are re fusing to turn over to the Civil Rights commission pre cinct records bearing on al 1 e g e d DISCRIMINATION against colored voters, that the records should be turned over and that discrimination, if it exists, must be ABAN DONED. Voting, he thinks, is one of the "unalienable rights" of man mentioned in the pre amble of our immortal Dec laration of Independence. Sen ator Johnson, Southerner though he is, believes it MUST NOT be hobbled. TTE KNOWS, of course, that if the colored people of the South CAN and DO vote the troublesome problem of integration of the races will eventually solve itself in the only way in which it can be solved that is to say, by ultimate EQUALITY. But as an enlightened Southerner he believes in fac ing the future and accepting what it brings. Let's close this dissertation on public men with these lines from Josiah Gilbert Holland's poem The Day's Demand: "God give us men! A time like this demands "Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; "Men whom the lust of of fice does not kill; Men whom the spoils of of fice can not buy "Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog "In public duty and in pri vate thinking." mm WEEK TUESDAY, r Market Seen Well Grounded On Improved Business Outlook By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -OB Investors Advisory Service in its fore cast issue poses the question: : "Should one sen on good news." This ques- tion, it points f-:Hiie nut to avorttlir JO tAOllJ opposite to that which pervaded the market in the beginning of F.Lner Walzer 1958. Then it was: "Should one buy on bad news." The service holds that the market in coming months ap pears to be well grounded on an improving business 'cut look, but adds that it already has reflected the economic re bound and a breathing spell could be in order. For the first half of 1959, Investors Institute anticipates Christmas Tree Price Tags Higher New York -OD-- Price tags on Christmas trees this year will run up to 10 per cent higher than last season, a survey by United Press In ternational has shown. Wholesale prices are up nearly SI a bundle usually five trees because of short supply and higher labor costs. Bad weather has curtailed tree cutting and a tree moth infestation in Canada is ex pected to create quarantine problems at U. S. import points. A third of the 40 million trees sold annually come from Canadian forests.

WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY: 9:30 A.M. intermittent " corrections. But, it adds, declines should not be severe, as the market has po tentially strong supports which should moderate any reversal. It looks for strong support at the 500 level in the Dow Jones industrials in event of a reversal. On the upside, suc cessful penetration of 572 could spur the average into the 600s, the institute says. The Expected "What is expected," the service continues, "is creation of a broad trading range for the general stock list. Such a situation would be healthy, as it would enable the market to consolidate its rapid gains for 1958 and form a base for fu ture advance." It warns that the average investor will have to act with prudence, exercise his inge nuity and frequently be guid ed by expediency. Excessive pessimism or excessive bull ishness must be ruled out, it holds. "The long term outlook with its strong growth factors of population . increase and technological improvement, continues to look extremely bright.". The service lists the follow ing check-list for the individ ual investors: "Rallies should be used to eliminate weak stocks, up grade Portfolios and . protect profits in issues which have exhausted their near-term po tentials. "Holdings should be brought into line with basic invest ment objectives. "Portfolios should contain a good percentage of soundly managed issues with a record of stability of earnings and continuity of dividends. "Selective purchases in under-valued stocks may be made. "Adequate r es e r v e s, de pending upon individual in vestment objectives, should be maintained." Promising Groups Among the most promising groups, the institute lists alu minum, amusements, drugs, electrical controls, electron ics, natural gas, office equip ment, paper and retail trade mail order. Average groups are listed as follows: aircraft, apparel, automotive, banks, building supplies and equipment, chemicals, copper, electrical equipment, finance compan ies, food products, glass, lead and zinc, machinery, metal fabricators, oil, retail trade department stores, rubber, soft drinks, steel and utilities. Least attractive groups in clude airline, brewing, cotton products, gold mining, leath er, railroads-eastern, shoes, variety chains, and wool. The institute looks for a brighter economic picture in 1959 with the Federal Reserve Board's production increase rising to 145 per cent of the 1947-1949 average in the first half. This compares with 138 in October and 126 last April. The November figure was 141. Corporation earnings could be up substantially next year, the institute says possibly 15 to 20 per cent above this year's and that would bring the price-earning ratio of stocks down to about 14 from the current 20. Reward Offered For Clue To Family Portland - OD - A S500 re ward has been offered for in formation leading to the dis covery of the whereabouts of the Kenneth R. Martin family of Portland, missing since Dec. 7. Mrs. H. A. Dorsey of Port land, a sister of Martin, said she and members of her fam ily and friends raised the money to encourage the con tinuance of the search for Mr. and Mrs. . Martin and their three daughters.: The organized hunt for the family has ben abandoned but friends and relatives were continuing to retrace some of the territory in the hunt area! The Martins disappeared after setting out from their home to collect Christmas greens.

Oregon May Lose Qualify Teachers Portland-OD-Oregon is in danger of losing top teachers to other states because of low salaries, the Board of Higher Education was told Monday. The warning came from Wesley C. Bellaine, president of the Oregon chapter of the Federation of American Asso ication of University Profes sors. He said a cut to 4 per cent from a recommended 11 per cent salary increase figure "would be simply disastrous." The cut was recommended by the governor's office. Bellaine said an increase of "at least 17 per cent" is neces s a r y to maintain quality teachers in Oregon.
