By BENNETT CERF- rpOQTS SHOR, New York's plumpest restauranteur, boarded J- a taxicab far downtown, and asked the driver, "Know of a decent restaurant in this burg? I'm a stranger here." "Yes sir," said the cabbie. "One of the gret eating places in this whole world is Toots Shor's on 51st street. I'll drive you straight there." At the conclusion, of the journey, Toots was so pleased that he slipped the cabbie a ten-spot, saying, "Keep the change." "T'anks," said the driver. "Tanks indeed, Mr. Shor!" Clarence Darrow once was having the devil of a time pin ning a hostile witness down to some semblance of a. coherent story. Chaileng-ed directly, the witness whined, "How can you doubt my word, Mr. Darrow? I am wedded to the Uuth." "Ah," nodded Darrow with a significant side-glance to the jury "and how long have you been a Widower?" 1959, by Bennett Cel t Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Mexican Wanted to Construct House For Wife, Child Jose Manrubia-Martinez, who will be 27 in July, lived in a small, white building in the back yard of a house on Med i!ord's west side. Today is his sixth day in Jackson county jail. Manrubia was arraigned in district court late Tuesday aft ernoon on charges involving the use of ' a lumber carrier without the owner's permis: sion and thefts of building supplies. Police said Manrubia paid $375 for a 100xl40-foot lot in a field off Gibbon rd. north east of Central Point. He was going to build a house on it, a house for himself and his 20-year-old Medford wife and their baby girl. He be came impatient. Visit Lot Medford and state police visited the lot Tuesday after noon before the arraignment. The building supplies were cached under a plastic tar paulin. Several well-weather ed house trailers and shacks stood nearby. It took two trips with a IV2 ton City of Medford ' dump truck to haul the materials and equipment to the police storage shed at Medford air port. One officer estimated the total value of the supplies at $3,000. They included plywood, roofing, door frames, sliding doors, a fireplace core, a toilet, boxes of nails, sledge ham mers, power tools, and a wheelbarrow. A log chain and binder, and a wheel from a trailer, were also in the cache. Clear Recent Thefts Police said recovery of these supplies has cleared a total of 11 cases of recent thefts up and down the valley from Ashland to Medford to Eagle Point, including several from construction sites. Back in Manrubia's apart ment police found sketches for building a house. There were also booklets, one bearing a 1931 copyright, with plans and pictures of houses, and an article entitled, "The Se cret of Building a Western Patio " According to his wife, Man rubia helped his family build a fine house in Mexico a few years ago. She says he him self designed a handsome dovecote atop the garage. She has photographs. Other booklets lined shelves in his apartment, two on camp ing and several on learning English. He took a correspond ence course. His wife, who has been living in a house trailer with her family, says she helped him with his lessons when she visited the apart ment. Filled With Fruit Bins, boxes and drawers in the apartment were filled with fruit and vegetables. Po lice found jars of preserved fruit they say were stolen last week from an elderly Tyoman on Biddle rd. Packages of hardtack and other dry biscuits stood on a table, Rows of swiss chard have sprouted in a little garden alongside the apartment. Pack ets of carrot and radish seed not yet planted, lay in a bu reau drawer inside. Investigators surmised Man rubia might be a vegetarian, No, his wife says, but he does like large salads. Police have found it hard to believe that Manrubia, feet, 8 inches, could have lift ed and transported all the building supplies himself. The fireplace core, for example, weighs about 300 pounds. But he practiced body-building in Mexico, and developed an im pressive physique. He joined a health club here in Medford. Manrubia's wife says they met at a resort in Mexico. She, having studied Spanish in high school, was a recep tionist for a doctor at the re sort. He was working there fts a cook. She says that his father, now retired, formerly managed a large bakety busi-' ness. They were married several months later, she says, in Mexico. They entered this country at San Ysidro, Calif., on May 17, 1957. Manrubia wanted very much to improve himself. He was trying to master the English language. The walls of his apartment bore signs pains takingly printed in Spanish, o personal maxims reminding him to work hard, to study, to stop worrying. First Apprehended When first apprehended by state police last Saturday for using the lumber carrier, he was quoted as saying he was practicing n it in hopes of . getting a job as an operator. Manrubia had a job as a plugger with Medford Veneer . and Plywood Corp. in . the Camp White area. His wife says he was discouraged with his job, and in recent months grew tense and moody. Fog depressed him. He felt out of place at this latitude. The language barrier caused mis understandings with other workers. He became impatient. Insurance Bill Amendment Asked Salem -(UPD- Sen. Dan Dim- ick (D-Roseburg) has proposed substitute bill for his mea sure which called for compul sory automobile liability in surance. Dimick asked the Senate State and Federal Affairs Committee to replace his bill with an amendment requiring car owners to do one of two things before they could get new auto license plates. They would be asked either to show certificate of insurance or other proof that they were fi nancially able to pay for dam ages, or sign a statement show ing familiarity with the finan cial responsibility law. The latter law requires proof of ability to pay ior damages aft er a motorist has had one accident. Surplus Midwest Meat Said Dumped Portland-dTD-A battle over freight rates has allowed Mid western packers "to dump" surplus meats on West Coast markets, a California meat packing official said Wednesday. Albert T. Luer, vice presi dent and chairman 01 the board of Luer Packing Co., Inc., Los Angeles, testified at an Interstate Commerce Com mission hearing here. The hearing, scheduled to wind up today, is on railroad requests for rate reductions on meat shipped from the Midwest to Oie west. Luer said the freight rate battle? has reduced his volume. He charged Midwest meat packers with trying to get a foothold on the West Coast. 11 Persons Injured In Train Mishap Atkins. Iowa -(UPD- At least 11 persons were injured and a number of others shaken up early today when a nine-car Milwaukee Road passenger train traveling at almost 80 m.p.h. was derailed near here. The nine cars of the Omaha to Chicago passenger train jumped the track, and tore up about 1,200 feet of track. None of the cars overturned, how ever. The injured included eight passengers and three train crewmen. They were taken to St. Luke's hospital at Cedar Rapids but none was in seri ous condition. None of the in jured was from the Far ?est.
