o 2 Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- T THE GRAND CANYON, there's an old trapper who hangs around El Tovar hotel and sells tourist pictures of himself. He also tells some mighty tall tales of all the wild bears he's killed. "You must have had some hairbreadth escapes," said an admiring woman from Gloucester, Mass. "Tell us about a few." "Ma'amJ said the trap per with some disgust, "if that's been any hairbreadth escapes around here, them0 b'ars had 'em!" .-.. Th late Alben BarWey told th story of a certain minister who was fired summarily by Iiis board of deacons, and put tip a powerful protest. "Didn't I argufy?" he demanded. "Didn't I magnify? Didn't I glorify?" "Yes," admitted the deacons, "You argufied, you magnified, and you glorified real good, but you never told us wherein. And we'ra ut to get us a preacher who will0tell us wherein."

Sackett has petition ed the federal communica tion commission to reconsider its approval of the sale of Oakland, Calif, radio station KLX. Sale of the station for $750, 000 by the Tribune Building Co. of Oakland to Crowell Collier Publishing Co. of New York City was approved by the FCC on May 6. Sackett's petition was filed last week. , The Tribune Building Co. is part of the publishing enter prise owned by the Knowland family of Oakland. Sackett named Joseph R. Knowland and his sons, former fen. William F. Knowland and J. Russell Knowland, in his pe tition. Sackett is p resident and publisher of the World, and operates 13 weekly newspa pers in California. He filed Assassins Miss Cuban Diplomat " Port-au-Prince, Haiti -4UPD -Assassins in two automobiles drew up to Cuban Ambassa dor Antonio Rodriguez Echa labal's car yesterday and rid dled it with bullets. The diplomat escaped un hurt but his chauffeur was hot in the head and stomach and a passenger, sugar pension fund director Celestino Fern andez was wounded in the arm. O Police said that judging by the placement of bullet holes in Rodriguez car the assail ants were armed with ma ebineguns. Meanwhile in Havana, Cu ban Foreign Minister Roberto Agramonte cabled Rodriguez to return to Cuba at once to give a personal report on the shooting. The Cuban foreign office announced that an extra po lice guard has been put on the embassy and' consulate of the t Dominican Republic in Havana following an incident Friday .night at the Cuban embassy in Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic, when a Cuban exile was shot fatally. The exile and a group of Cubans had stormed the Cu ban embassy to avenge the wounding of one of their comrades. his petition as a citizen "for the public good," Dut noted that he planned to start a new daily newspaper in Oakland in competition with the Trib une. . Transfer 'Fraudulent' Sackett alleged in his peti tion that, transfer of the ra dio station from the Tribune Publishing Co. to the Tribune Building Co. in 1933 was "fraudulent." He contended Jhe purpose of the transaction was to give the Knowlands control of the radio station. He said records showed That tl3 Knowlands controlled the building company, but equal ly shared ownership of the publishing company with the heirs of Mrs. Hermina Peral ta Dargie, widow of the news paper's founder. Sackett alleged that the transfer resulted in a change of control in the radio station that was never reported to the FCC, and on that basis was illegal. - 'J He. asked the FCC to. bar the sale to Crowell-Collier, to revoke the Tribune rfuilding license to operate the station, and to send the facts to the justice department for inves tigation. FCC officials said the peti tion would be studied. It could be denied or investigat ed further, possibly including hearings on the allegations. Sackett also sent letters about the- case to President Eisenhower, Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the securi ties & exchange commission, Attorney General William P. Rogers and federal and local officials in the Oakland area. Street Trees Broken, Fixed Two of Medford's down town street trees were broken early yesterday morning, Medford police reported. The trees, in concrete plant ers, were situated on north side of Main st. east and west of the railroad tracks. The patrolman who discov ered the damage reported re planting several plants that had been, pulled from the planters and thrown on the sidewalk. .

McElroy re turned from Geneva yesterday ready to crack down on the angry Army-Air Force missile row which has been plaguing the Pentagon. His chief weapon for set tling the dispute is an air defense "master plan"1 which he will submit to Congress later this month. It will spell out for each service its role in defending the nation against possible enemy bomb er attack. McElroy confirmed that the plan will advocate use of both the Army's Nike-Hercules and the Air Force's Bomarc as defense missiles. He -also acknowledged that the joint chiefs of staff, who prepared a rough draft of the plan for his study, still were in disagreement on some is sues. He said, however, that they were not far apart on the main policies and indi cated he should have little trouble ironing out final de tails in the next few weeks. Blunt Orders . Before leaving for Geneva, McElroy had issued blunt or ders to Mie two services to stop their public bickering. He said they were alienating "our good friends in Con gress." He had conferred on the controversy . with Presi dent Eisenhower. The acid dispute has been growing in recent months with the Air Force deprecat ing the Army's Hercules mis sile and the Army scoffing at the Bomarc as a defense weapon; , Confusion over the rival claims has already been re flected in Congress. The House- has voted a sharp cut in funds for the Nike-Hercu les; the Senate armed services committee has recommended the Bomarc program be whit tled. ' For Mid-June McElroy's final answers were promised for mid-June. Thus far Eisenhower has maintained a waitand-see at titude. It is likely the plan will recommend a reduction in the number of both the Hercules and Bomarc missiles which had been scheduled for instal lation. Some critics have no ted that since both are de signed as anti-aircraft wea- ROUNDTABLE TOPIC Presbyterianism, its origin, its form of government, its be liefs, and its contemporary contribution to the world scene, will be discussed to day on the Minister's Round Table 1 over radio station KMED at 8:05 a.m. Moder ator will be the Rev.
