THE 'AVERAGE' SHAVER
New York - (UPD - The av
erage man shaves once a day,
in the morning, in front of the
bathroom mirror, before
cleaning his teeth combing his
hair or taking his shower. He
wears his pajamas and shaves
his right cheek first and his
neck last. Anyway, that's
what the North American
Philips Co. found during - a
recent survey among new pur-,
chasers of its electric razor.
The survey also showed that
the average shave lasts two to
six minutes and that most men
use this time either listening
to the radio or TV-br doing
what they described as "nothing."
San Quentin, Calif. - (UPD -
Convict-author Caryl Chess
man, who has lived in ' the
shadow of the gas chamber
for 11 years, said today he
wanted no compromise in his
fight for freedom - "I go to
hell or Hollywood."
"Hollywood" in Chessman's
case is Los Angeles where
he was sentenced to death
June 25, 1948, as the infamous
"red light bandit" who pre
tended he was a policeman to
terrorize lover's larfe couples.
He was convicted of 17 counts
of kidnap, rape and robbery.
Wants. New Trial
He wants to go back to Los
Angeles for a new trial. He
insists that, while he may
have been a habitual criminal,
he was not the red light ban
dit. "Now there is no, com
promise," the 38-year-old con
vict with the 136 IQ said in
an interview.
"I'm too old to serve more
time in prison, going to the
CAKE BATTERED WIFE
' Appleton, Wis. - (UPD - Wil
liam Van Linn, 23, sentenced
to two years' probation, for
beating his wife, told the
court he did it because she
wouldn't bake him a cake.
"Bakery cakes aren't as good
as my wife's homemade ones,"
he said.
More than 292,000 Ameri
can lives were lost during the
four years of World -War II,
but during the same four-year
period, more than 2,317,000
Americans died of heart and
blood vessel diseases.
'yard' to live like a vegetable
I want a new trial and a find
ing of not guilty. .. .
"Nor will I ever make ap
plication to the governor for
commutation. It is an implica
tion of guilt. I'm going to keep
doing my damnedest until
convinced I haven't a chance.
Then I'll walk into the gas
chamber and tell the -executioner
to come and get me."
Chessman has written four
books in prison, including the
best-selling autobio graphy
"Cell 2455, Death Row." By
his own . reckoning, he has
written the equivalent of 45
full-length novels in legal
briefs, appeals and research
papers in staving off execu
tion. Earnings Gone
He has earned more than
$100,000 from his writings
but, he said, legal and other
expenses have drained it
away to the point, where he's
broke1 now.'
This :week the California
Supreme Court rejected the
latest Chessman appeal. In a
maximum of 60 days the Los
Angeles court that originally
sentenced him to death will
set a new date for execution.
Meanwhile, Chessman is
preparing a petition for a re
hearing by the state Supreme
Court. He is frankly skeptical
of his chances there.
' "My only hope lies in ap
peals to the federal courts,
especially the U.S.' Supreme
Court where they can be de
cided on the merits of the
case, not on legends favorable
or unfavorable," he said. i
APPENDECTOMIES CUT
New. York (UPD-Appendecto-mies
declined 50 per cent be
tween 1941 and 1956, accord
ing to the Archives of Sur
gery. Though there is .no sci
entific explanation for the de
cline, some medical authori
ties attribute the drop partly
to improved eating habits and
the increased use of antibiotics.
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
New York (UPD - Mexican
fishermen docked a record
shrimp catch of 31,400 metric
tons last year, 26 per cent
more than in the previous rec
ord year of 1956, according to

eries. The Bureau noted that
shrimp imports last year to
taled nearly $40 million -another
record.
