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,

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.

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.

Guardsmen Get
To Keep Beards
Salem - (UPD - The battle of
the beards is over in the Ore
gon National Guard. 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.
Labor Unrest in
Italy Adds To Woe
Rome - (UPD - Labor unrest

Italy's political crisis.
At least 43 persons were
injured in the rioting in Flor
ence Tuesday, and although
the Communists dropped
their call for a general strike,
the seeds of possible new
trouble existed. .
The Florence trouble start
ed when police evicted about
500 sitdown strikers from an
optical factory which had
dismissed them because of
dwindling business.
Communist-led unions call
ed a "general strike" which
paralyzed commerce and pub
lic transportation after police
broke up a protest march by
the evicted strikers. ;
Police on the alert for
further trouble guarded
strategic centers in the famed
northern city today. There
was no immediate report of
new disorders.

Thornton Doubts
Validity of
Political Law
Salem- (CPD -Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. 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
