Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A N INCREDIBLE NUMBER of legends have sprung up con A cerning the alluring Mata Hari, who was executed as a spy by the French in World War One. One story has it that she wore a beautiful coat on the morning she was shot As Jfaia, the command to fire rang TJari out, Mata Hari supposedly ld,iJ- threw open the coat de fiantly, revealing that there was nothing else but Mata beneath it. According to the official record, however, Mata Hari died wearing a neat, con servative suit that had been especially tailored for the occasion, and said not one word from the time she was led from the prison until she fell. The most expensive extra in Hollywood history popped up at the MGM studio recently. Her name is Gwendolyn and she cost the com pany $1,200 for a single day's work. Gwendolyn is a goat She ate an entire reel of the previous day's rushes. You're really getting old, cackles Matt Weinstock, if you can re member when hot dogs were longer than the rolls. 19S9, ky Bennett Cert DUtributed by King Features Syndicate.

From Washington: Soviet First Deputy Pre mier Kozlov heads for Cali fornia . . . He and his party will stop at Sacramento on the next leg of a flying swii.g around the nation. He is ex pected to continue his cam paign to sell "peaceful co existence" on Russian terms. lyHAT are, his tactics? They're weird. For ex ample: Out of one side of his mouth, he promises NO WAR, NO WAR. He speaks mildly and reassuringly of peaceful coexistence. Then, out of the other side of his mouth, he trumpets: "FORCE WILL BE MET WITH FORCE if the situation in Berlin erupts into .hostili ties." " IITHAT'S he up to? " Take' down your Shakes peare from your five - foot shelf. Turn to Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Scene 2, in which a play is being cooked up for the Duke of Athens and his duchess and the actors are discussing the parts they will take. There's a lion in the play. Bottom wants to play the part of the lion. He says: "I will roar, that I will do any any man's heart good to hear me; I will roar, that I will make the duke say, 'Let him roar again, let him roar again'." Quince (who is doing the casting) . is afraid Bottom might roar too realistically. He says: "An you should do it too terribly, that would fright . the ladies, that they would shriek, and that were enough to hang us all." To which Bottom replies: "I grant you, friends, if that you should fright the ladies out of their wits, they would have no more discre tion but to hang us, but I will aggravate my voice so that I will roar you as gently as any suckling dove; I will rdar as 'twere any nightingale." . THAT TELLS the tale. Koz lov is playing the part of Bottom. But When he roars as gently as any suckling dove, how much reliance, can we put in it? The answer in short and simple: NONE! In the case of communist Russia, every agreement she has made has been broken at the first moment when it has suited her purposes to repu diate her solemn agreements. That's the long and the short of it. . ' yHAT shall WE do about On this Fourth of July week end, I think it is fitting that we should go back for an answer to our Declaration of Independence, which opens with these words: "When, in the course of human . events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's Gift en title them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should de clare the causes which impel them to the separation." Our Declaration - one of the great documents of all mankind - closes with these ringing words: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm re liance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mu tually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor." . THAT'S what we did once before - and it served us well. Let's make it plain that if we have to we'll do it again. That's about all that will stop Russia.

" Church Council President- Lists Commandments For Travelers New York -(UPD-The presi dent of the National Council of Churches hopes all summer travelers are carrying their Bibles with them for daily devotionals during their va cations. The Rev. Edwin T. Dahl berg put this wish forth in a list of "ten vacation com mandments" he prepared for the council's monthly maga zine "Outlook." Dahlberg's summer advice ranges from warnings against poison ivy, shallow swimming holes and careless driving to a request for continued church contributions even while away on vacation. Know Depth of Waitr Here are his . command ments: I. "Thou shalt not dive off a strange dock without know ing how deep is the water at th end of it, lest thou break thy neck against a stone." II.

Barrel Believed To Be Radioactive Held in Isolation Coos Bay-(UPD-A white met al barrel thought to contain radioactive waste matter that washed up on the beach at Port Orford Saturday remain ed in isolation at the Coos Head Naval facility here to day. Lieutenant Commander F. L. Laws, commanding officer of the facility, said the drum, marked in red: "Danger, Ra dioactive Waste, AEC," was being kept under wraps as a precautionary measure until it was learned where it came from, and exactly what was inside. Examination Planned Indications were that in spectors from the Atomic Energy Commission's Han- ford, Wash., plant would come here to examine the barrel The AEC in Washington, D.C., said private firms sometimes are licensed to dispose of ra dioactive waste but in those instances barrel's, like the AEC's, are supposed to be en cased in concrete so they will be carried several hundred fathoms down. After the barrel was sight ed on the beach at Port Or ford, the area was placed off limits and an armed guard set up.
