10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mdfortl, Oron, Wedi.Jiy, Jiury 28. Red Skelton Described As Etude in Semi-Ubiquity 3y WILLIAM EWALD New York- H?D -Television has digested most of its fun nymen, but Red Skelton man ages to remain unchewed. Tuesday night CBS-TV offered Skel ton twice once on a pain fully limp Ar thur Godfrey show and again on - his own show. William Ewald Skelton obviously is not only a study in survival, he is an etude in semi-ubiquity. There is a lesson in Skel ton's durability and I think it is a fairly melancholy one. It is this: There is a section of the TV audience that does not want freshness or wit in its comedy, as it does not want freshness-or wit in its West erns, family series or dramas. I suspect that most of these are children of varying ages, ML Astoria-Megler Bridge Project To Be Pushed Salem-aTO-Rep. William H. Holmstrom (D.-Gearhart) said today he would push for the money needed for a new bridge between Astoria and Megler over the Columbia river despite an engineering report which raised some question about the project. Holmstrom released a re port by Coverdale and Col pitts, a New York engineer . ing firm, which concluded ' that "the project is not finan cially feasible on a normal basis." Bond Issue Required ' A bond issue of about $28 million would be required for the bridge. Holmstrom said the most recent report by the New York firm, dated last Novem- ber, contrasted with one it made five years ago. "It doesn't seem reasonable to me that they could be so diametrically opposed to each other in conclusion as to fea sibility," Holmstrom said. He said that since the traf fic situation is not changed he could see no reason how the reports could reach different findings. Formulas Don't Agree "The formulas used in ana lyzing the traffic situation on - Highway 101 in the two re ports do not agree at all. Therefore, I must conclude . that this last report is incon- 1 elusive." ' The engineering firm said competing highways have im proved since 1954, there has been a lack of growth in ferry . traffic, and that expenses are higher than in the first re- i port. Charges Dismissed In District Court Charges were dismissed in district court against Richard Goodwin Larson on a motion .-. made by the district attor- ney's office. Larson was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. Full restitution has been made and the complain ing witness doesn't care to : testify, the district attorney's office stated. High blood pressure, a maj or source of heart trouble, has ben found to affect young as well as older persons.

Ben Dawson Administrator unweaned and seeking secur ity in the familiar. Amuses Retarded Boys Skelton's show is burlesque in its dotage. Much of the comedy is physical - the sort of thing that amuses retarded schoolboys. Tuesday night, for example, Lon Chaney hit Skelton for one laugh and then kicked him in the shins for two more laughs. Chaney also did such things as eating a chair, a plate, a spoon and Skelton's hand. Skelton replied by making faces. . When the flow of physical fun runs down, there are al ways the jokes. At one point Tuesday night Skelton fell flat on his face and guest Marilyn Maxwell said: "He's ready for the North Pole -he's out cold." You may not think this much of a joke and you know, you're right. But when the ordinary jokes don't work, Skelton's scrip usually offers some leer - type sex - bosom jokes, long underwear jokes or joke's like this one Tues day night: Skelton, after looking at a sexy girl: "She kind of steamed me up which is un usual because my boiler is burned out." Not Honest Ribaldry This, I submit, is plainly gross. It is not honest rib aldry, which has a vitality and even a certain rough in nocence, but merely vulgar ity. Worse still, like the Skel ton show as a whole, it is tired, witless and painfully cheap. Short Shots: Sheila Mac Rae's imitation of Dinah Shore on the CBS-TV Garry More show Tuesday night was wonderful, wonderful. Moore happily broke an unofficial TV taboo on the show-Moore, who has Winston cigare.ttes for a sponsor, presented the dancing group, the Dunhills, which is the name of a rival tobacconist. Ed Sullivan will tape eight of his CBS-TV summer shows in advance to give his crew a hot weather breather. Eli Wallach has been add ed to the cast of "For Whom The Bell Tolls," set for CBS TV's Playhouse 90 the first two Thursdays in March. 4 CLUB -mi NEWS Weslside Rabbilleers The Westside Rabbitteers met at the home of our lead er, Ferne Kellow, on Jan. 23.

The beards won. Gov. Mark Hatfield said "liberalized policy" regarding beards has been authorized by the chief of the Guard Bureau in the Pentagon. That means guardsmen can sprout whiskers for the Ore gon Centennial without risk ing disciplinary action. The beards will have to be neat, of course. Hatfield commented: "Because many Oregonians who are members of the Guard have obligations to their home communities to participate fully in centennial activities, 'it is apparent that it is in the best interest of the state to authorize beards to be grown." The hassle started when Oregon Adjutant General Thomas E. Rilea issued a "no beards" edict, interpreting army regulations to say "sold iers should be clean shaven." State Sen. Monroe Sweet land (D-Milwaukie) jumped immediately into the fray, asking the governor to inter vene in Washington. Hatfield did.

Thornton to day questioned validity of a law authored by Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger. The statute is the political affiliation law enacted by the 1953 Oregon Legislature when Neuberger, (D-Ore.) was a state senator. The law requires persons appointed to fill a vacancy in a partisan elective office to be of the same political party as the person elected to the office. Privileges Violated Thornton, a Democrat, said that the law violated equal privileges and immunities and held that it restricted the gov ernor's constitutional power to make appointments. . After pointing out that all laws passed by the Legisla ture are presumed to be con stitutional, Thornton conclud ed by saying: "Although we have serious doubts as to the authority of the, Legislature thus to re strict the appointing powers of the governor or deny all citizens of the state, duly qualified to- be e'lected to an office, equal privileges to be appointed to - an office, the authority to declare a law 1959 EDSEL HITS In the same way that sterling on silver signifies a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of newspapers and periodicals.

(Science Serv-ice)-Students in the United States who want to be veter inarians face tougher educa tional standards than in Rus sia, Dean William A. Hagan of Cornell University's Veter inary College said here. Rus sian schools have more stu dents, but offer fewer lec tures and demonstrations with student participation, and less clinical training. Graduate education hardly exists, Dean Hagan said. Today Russia has 43,000 veterinarians assisted by 49,000 "feldschers," or vet erinary assistants trained for only two years.
