Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Westford, Mass.-OD-President Eisenhower's message to scientists at the Lincoln laboratory of the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, who bounced a radio signal off Venus for the first contact with another planet: "Congratulation to all involved for this notable achieve ment in our peaceful ventures into outer space." Family Council Washington-Rep. William M. Colmer (D.-Miss.) a leader in the congressional economy bloc, on a discussion he had with Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson about the nation's finances: "When I started I was worried about the future of my grandchildren. When I got through I was worried about my elf." South Charleston, W. Va.-Mrs. Elma Baldwin, who with her three children was held hostage by ex-convict Richard A. Payne, commenting on their treatment: "The kids were never scared. He actually was very nice Jo us." Xenia, Ohio-Leslie MacFadden, president of the Beaver Creek township school's Booster club, on petitions to the legislature to require flasher lights at grade crossings follow ing the deaths of 10 persons in a station wagon hit by a train: "If something doesn't happen there will be the damnedest demonstration on the statehouse lawn anybody has ever seen."

American Telephone, says In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Brave new world note: In a TV address to the Cuban people the other night, Premier Fidel Castro an nounced that all Cuban so ciety should be brought to ONE medium level. "We will ELEVATE THE POOR to the middle class, he said, "and REDUCE THE WEALTHY to the middle class." TTE HAS a wonderful idea But, the long record of history tells us, he's going to have a lot of trouble working it out. ANOTHER wonderful idea: Bills introduced in the U.S. senate by Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Representative Frank M. Karstein of Missouri would REQUIRE the states to estab lish: 1. Uniform duration of un employment benefits, with 39 WEEKS maximum. 2. Benefits equal to at least 50 per cent of average earn ings but not to exceed two thirds of the state's average weekly wage.. r WOULD be splendid, of course. But Human nature being a strange complex, with many dips, spurs and angles, a lot , of people would be tempted to frame up schemes to work 13 weeks out of the year and live on rocking chair money the other 39 weeks. W. E. Button & Co., seems to be under rather steady ac cumulation, and "we do not think the stock is as high as it may look in relation to past prices. In our opinion this stock is not without some growth characteristics." Cluett, Peabody & Co. 1959 net profits could be in the S3.50-$4 area against $2.58 in 1958, according to Reynolds & Co. Moody's advises switching out of Capital Airlines, Na tional Airlines and Pan Amer ican World Airways into ei ther American Airlines or Eastern Air Lines. Standard & Poor's estimat es Ford Motor in the first quarter may show net income of $2.50 a share, against only 42 cents a year ago. ' Bache & Co. holds that those who follow the market's technical aspects have been keeping a close watch on the ralroad issues, for it is the carrier index which now bears the burden of confirm ing the new highs recently set by the industrials and utili ties. Until the Dow-Jones rail average surpasses its 1959 high of 167.38, periods of gen eral market hesitancy are likely to be more frequent, the firm adds. Two-in-One CHUCKS! Let's get away J from wishful-thinking pol itics and dip into history again. President Eisenhower signs the bill admitting Hawaii to the Union. The name Hawaii, as recited in these chronicles a few days ago, is derived from the Island word Owyhee. The natives didn't write the word. They spoke it. Reducing it to writing in their ship's logs and their diaries, the early Pacific explorers spelled it Hawaii. Over in Malheur county, there is a river named the Owyhee. Near its mouth, there is a town named Owyhee. There is also an Owyhee Ridge in Malheur county. IlfHENCE came the name? 'In his book Oregon Geo graphich Names, Tarn Mc Arthur tells the story thus: "On Saturday, February 18, 1826, Peter Skene Ogden, then on his second expedition into the Snake River country, reached 'Sandwich Island riv er,' so called owing to the fact that in 1819 two Sandwich Islanders were murdered by Snake Indians. There seems to be no doubt that the Owyhee River was named for these Hawaiians, ior on June 15 of the same year Ogden uses the word Owyhee in his diary." That was 133 years ago. Names get around, don't they? These Sandwich Islanders seem to have got around quite a little also. CAPTAIN Cook, as related here the other day, named this beautiful island group the Sandwich Islands. He named them for the fourth. Earl of Sandwich. My five-foot shelf doesn't tell how the first Earl of Sandwich got his title. Did he invent the sandwich? Was he rewarded for his in vention, maybe, by being made a belted earl? Who knows?

They embar rassed me with my wife and in-laws. Mrs. N.R. My husband and I are heartbroken about our only son who has turned away from us and wants to have ties only with his wife's fam ily. It hurts particularly be cause the whole quarrel is over money. We had saved $1,000 that we were goipg to give Henry as a wedding present, but shortly before his marriage my husband had some busi ness troubles and used the money to pay off debts. We told Henry we would 'give him that money as soon as possible, but we haven't been able to do it yet. Henry made some hints about it, my husband became very angry and said that if he took that attitude he wasn't going to give him the money at all. Henry became furious and said he wanted nothing further to do with us. We feel that his wife has put a devil into him. Henry R. In the first place my father should have told me why he had taken this money and what he was going to use it for. Part of it had been given to him in trust for me by my grandparents and he had no right to use that few hundred dollars. Then, instead of telling me about these troubles of his, he went boasting to my in-laws about all he was going to do for me. They are poor people, but they didn't want him to outdo them and they gave us more than they should have. All of this put me in a very embarrassing position with my wife and my in-laws. My wife' was quite upset because we spent more money than we should have to furnish our home, so I tried to find out whether or not we had any chance of getting that money. That's when my father flew up in the air about the whole thing. The Council: We don't think this quarrel is really about money. It is far more connect ed with problems of under standing and trust between parents and child. Its roots go far deeper than this immedi ate problem. Henry obviously feels be trayed and let down by his parents, his father particular ly. A mature young man, how ever, would not have such a reaction to this occurrence. He would sympathize with his father's problems and accept the situation. The father's behavior and Henry's reaction suggests that there is a history of bribes and broken promises. It was not necessary for these par ents to announce in advance what they planned to do for Henry upon his marriage. The mare fact that they specified they would give a certain amount indicates that they had a habit pf dangling cer tain awards in front of him and prided themselves a bit too much on all they wanted to "do ' for their son. Because this father bluster ed about the marriage reward he planned to give his son, he then felt hurt in his own pride when be couldn't come through. This was the reason for his secrecy. Undoubtedly he wanted to make up for the whole thing as quickly as pos sible, and was unable to face up to his son when he found himself unable to do so. This whole situation could Jiave had a far happier out come if the father had never made promises in the first place, but he compounded the error by not owning up his embarrassing problem. That would have given Henry the chance to be generous and for giving ana would nave es tablished a bond of man-to man trust between them. In short, these parents have treated Henry like a baby and he has reacted like a baby. It is time for someone to step outside the vicious cycle. (Copyright 1S59, General Features Corp.)

Last week's opening sec tion of the H e m i ngway work had some stiffness William Ewald and an occas ional lack of fire, but Thurs day night's piece had a splen dor, a luster, that turned the 90 minutes into one of TV's most distinguished offerings. Jason Robards Jr., who had little to work with last week, managed to shake Robert Jor dan loose Thursday night and gave him rasp and lunge. It was the sort of playing you don't often see on TV - Rob ards laced a harsh majesty in to his part that was simply overwhelming. Hearing Scheduled On TV Reception Cave Junction A public hearing is scheduled Satur day in the American Legion hall to discuss the possibility of improving television recep tion in' the Illinois valley. Ev erett Faber and Ed Barnett of KBES-TV will be on the panel of speakers. The primary purpose for arranging the meeting is the hope of dissolving the prob lem areas where there is ei ther no signal or a weak sig nal from either the station or the translator on Eight Dollar mountain. However,. Jack Eggers, chairman of the committee which scheduled the hearing, stressed that this meeting will be of importance to everyone and those who are now re ceiving a good signal should also attend. From Robards, I just don't Know wnere to go, but l sup pose the next stop should be Maria Schell, an actress with a built-in corona, beamed light into the evening. One five minute sequence in which she talked about the various outrages inflicted up on her by the Fascists, was one of the most moving scen es I've ever seen on the little tube. Miss Schell soft-voiced it, avoiding the obvious build toward a hard climax, letting her story shout for itself. Di rector John Frankenheimer released the tension by pull ing a biting interjection out of Robards, a beautiful wrap- up of the scene The rest of the cast was su perb Maureen Stapletpn Nehemish Persoff, Eli Wal- lach, Steve Hill. The final battle scene was done with good deal of belie vability, no small accomplishment for studio manufacturer. And, of course, chalk up one more score for Frankenheimer and producer Fred Coe, TV's no blest tandem. The Channel Swim: NBC TV s Allen show next season . . . Jack Benny pulled a nif ty 27.2 Trendex for his CBS- TV special Wednesday night Mysterious Signs On Homes Explained Hamburg, Germany -UPD-Worried residents of this big West German city breathed easir today about those mys terious signs chalked on hun dreds of houses. After swamping police and newspapers with phone calls, the residents learned from po lice that the signs - mostly a cross and an open triangle -were code marks made by a group of salesmen meaning "no sense trying to sell here." Or "I have been here before."

The route of the Swordfish was not announced here but a spokesman at the Navy's submarine base in New Lon don, Conn., said . that there was no likelihood the sub marine would attempt to sail beneath the north pole.
