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?"

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.
