Newspaper Page TextMAIL TRIBUNE, M.dforJ, Or. Tu4ay, July 28. 1959 Governor Long Parks With Blonde Hot Springs, Ark.-IUPD-Loui-siana Gov. Earl K. Long park ed under an Arkansas moon with a buxom blonde divorcee from Memphis, Tenn., early today. "I like 'em big," Long said. "That's a smart woman." Long's ladyfriend is Mrs. Ann S. Billings. She is vaca tioning in Hot Springs with her son and daughter, John ny, 11, and Sherry, 16, and an aunt, Mrs. M. S. Elkin of Lebanon, Tenn.- Long, separated from his wife, Blanche, met Mrs. Bil lings at his hotel early Mon day. He had dinner with her and her family Monday night, , then dropped the family off and ditched his chauffeur, Lt. Russell Willie of the Louisi ana state police. Mrs. Billings drove his $10,000 Cadillac limousine through Hot Springs, the spa noted for its national forest and world-famous bath house row. Long, 63, sat beside her, his arm around her shoulder. After a 30-minute drive, they parked behind the De Soto hotel, where Long is staying. After another 30 or 40 minutes, they got out of tne sleek car and went into the hotel. Thejr talked for another 15 minutes in the lobby, and the governor had his chauffeur take her back to the Arling ton hotel, where she is stay ing. "We talked politics," Mrs. Billings said with a sly smile. "He's got a brilliant mind, I don't care what they say." Newsmen Attend Dinner at Ike's j Washington-(UPB-The Wash ington Post and Times Herald said today that 12 prominent newspapermen had dinner with President Eisenhower at the White House Monday night. The paper said they talked to the chief executive about a wide range of subjects, for eign and domestic, but that those it interviewed after ward would not disclose what was said. Those attending the dinner, according to the newspaper, included Lyle C. Wilson, vice president and Washington manager of United Press In ternational; Arthur Krock of the New York Times; William L. Beale Jr., chief of the As sociated Press Washington bu reau; Andrew F. Tully ; Jr., Scripps-Howard Newspapers; Douglas Edwards, Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc.; Roscoe Drummond, New York Herald Tribune; David Law rence, U.S. News and World Report; Robert Roth, Phila delphia Bulletin; John C; O'Brien, Philadelphia Inquirer and Robert W. Richards, Cop ley Press. The Post said Wilson was asked whether the President's remarks were for direct quo tation. "I wouldn't think so," he replied. "It was just a din ner." The President held a simi lar dinner last week for news men who regularly cover the White House. The reporters afterwards wrote stories on the President's subjects and attributed them to an "excel lent authority." American Couple Translating Bible : Colorado Springs, Colo.-OJPD A young American couple has a steady job for the next 15 years-inventing an alpha bet and translating the New Testament into it. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Manus, will do the work among Indians in the remote Amazon basin of Peru for Wycliffe Translation, Inc., a non-sectarian group which works with Christian mis sionaries. Manus said that the found ers of the group, W. Cameron Townsend and L. L. Legters, "discovered the natives and Indians received Christianity more readily and made better Christians if they had the Bible and its teachings pre sented to them in their own language. But many of them have languages that are spoken and not written, so Wycliffe translators develop the alpha bet, print primers, teach the Indians to read and write and teach them " Christianity all at the same time. The Manuses also will work with the Indians as medics and do anthropology research in the 15 years it takes them to develop an alphabet for the unwritten language and then translate ,the New Testament. Their two children, Rebecca, 22 months, and George, six months, w i 1 1 accompany them. 10 Mmmm mwmmmm m Mm -- -fi. am juiU) mm mm tm wtmmmmmmmmf kv mi, jijuui.iiur i,,mm1 'nil. i ss: Miffi: .

Air Pollution Handmaiden to National Progress, Writer Says (Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles on how air pollution is dos ing in on American cities and farms. Science Service Engineer-Writer Allen Long compiled information and interviewed experts in the field. The series is designed to point up that air pollu tion is here to slay, and that it will be everyone's prob lem soon.) ' By ALLEN LONG Science Service Staff Writer Copyright 1959 by Science Service, Inc. We may be destined to live the rest of our lives in pollu tion. Our children and grand children may rarely know the beauty of a jet-blue, star-salt ed sky. Our teeming city dwellers may long be denied a refreshing dip in the nearby river because of floating gar bage or invisible; insidious health-killing bacteria. Pollution has been hand maiden to our national prog ress. It costs America an esti mated $7.5 billion a year. This amounts to $42 for each man, woman and child, although some estimates run as high as $65 per person per year. This economic tax, in many ways, is paid by the average citizen, but he may not realize it. . Ohio Rainstorm In Cincinnati, Ohio, a smokestack spewed hydrogen sulfides into a rainstorm. This gas rose into the slow-moving cloud overhead. Early the next morning,, the cloud passed ov er Reading,. Ohio, and some early risers watched with dis may as their houses coated with paint containing lead turned black. Houses in an area 100 feet wide and halt a mile long had to be re painted, r . In Los, Angeles, a hen laid a green egg. She scornfully kicked it out of her nest, and tried again. Same result; same reaction. After many futile tries to lay an honest, white egg, the hen gave up ? and quit. The owner later learned that-a smog chemical had combined with the moist egg shells to make the green hue. In another city, a woman took down her soiled window curtains to wash them in the bathtub. She added a mild liquid soap, dumped in the curtains and watched with horror as the material disinte grated. An air pollutant had settled on the material and attacked it, needing only a good "bath" to finish the job: Windows Filmed In dozens of cities through out the nation, the landscape often looks gray and drab; windows are continually film ed with dirt despite regular washings; plants defy their billings on the seed packets; husbands' shirt collars are ringed with black despite scrubbings of both shirts and husbands. Those examples show how air pollution taxes the Ameri can wallet. There are other taxes too. We pay a tax in health. Respiratory illnesses ' jump when pollution close in on a city or town. Persons of frail health have collapsed under this added hazard. Many have died. Twenty Deaths Twenty deaths in the little mill town of Donora, Pa., were attributed to a mass of pollut ed air trapped by surrounding mountains. This 1948 tragedy brought illness to another 5, 910 persons. Between Dec. 5 and 9, 1952, a smoke-filled fog engulfed L o n d o n, killing 4.000 and wreaking $28,000,000 in prop erty damage. A study of the mortality showed persons of all ages were affected, espe cially those over 45 who suc cumbed chiefly to bronchitis and pneumonia. . Smarting eyes, though a nui sance, are considered one of the least dangerous of pollut ed air's threat to health. Cer tain chemicals found - in air pollution have been shown to .cause cancer in mice. .Will they likewise cause cancer in man? Research is currently aimed at digging out the an swers to such pollution ques tions. Already our population has grown rapidly past the 177, 000,000 mark. So is air pollu tion increasing rapidly. Scien tists are finding out what air pollution is,, and engineers are working on ways to control it. But without a rising tide of public support, it appears our best efforts can be described only as "inadequate." We will be saddled with a polluted in heritance. And some of it may be due to misconception. ' Dennis O'Harrow, executive director of the American So ciety of Planning Officials, Chicago, told the Conference on Air Pollution held last No vember in Washington, D.C., of an instance when people "wanted" smoke. Eight years ago, he said, he visited a city supported by a hefty steel industry. The year HILTS Visitors Reported in Area By MRS. M. F. CAVIN Hilts-Mrs. John Silva and daughter, Vivian, of Horn brook visited Saturday after noon at the Jiome of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Williams and family. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Earle returned to their home in Sacramento Monday after spending several days at the home of Mrs. Earle's parents Mr. and Mrs. Tom Shuck and Portlanders to Find Increase in Tax Portland-(UPD-County Asses sor Joe Hawkins estimated Monday that Portland prop erty owners would find about a 5 per cent boost in their tax bills in November. . . Hawkins said he had not tabulated exact figures, but he made theh estimate because of requests from business firms that wanted to begin amor tizing their anticipated tax payments. Hawkins indicated the in crease would be more than 5 per cent for owners of some 1C.O0O homes for which valu ations were increased under the assessor's reappraisal pro gram. Hawkins noted that the 5 per cent increase would be less than half the 13 per cent boost of last November. Total amount of the tax levy1 of the big five ' taxing units-School District 1, City of Portland, Multnomah coun ty, Port of Portland and Rural School District-is $60,293,241, an increase of $1,065,360 over last year. Letter of Profesf , Sent Edith Green Portland-(UPD-The AFL-CIO Multnomah county Labor Council voted Monday night to send a letter of protest to Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) regard ing the labor-management re form measure now before the House. Rep. Green is a member of the committee on education and labor which sent the bill, an amended version of the senate-approved Kennedy-Ervin bill, to the House floor. The council's executive board recommended that dele gates send the protest. HOT LIQUOR SHOWS Donalsonville. Ga. - (DPD -Sheriff. Dan White said he took a second look at R. L. Leggett Monday, because he seemed - over-dressed for the 90-degree day. Inspection re vealed, White said, that Leg gett was wearing two pairs of trousers, which didn't quite conceal his seven and one-half pints of moonshine liquor. before, garden club ladies and a social-register mayor man aged to get a smoke-abatement ordinance. But little happen ed. "I asked one of the council men why there had been such a long delay in starting to clean up the air around this city," O'Harrow said. , "He replied, 'You ain't seen nothing yet, smoke is still here and my guess is that it always will be. "Then he pointed out the window to a black cloud pour ing from one of the stacks in the valley and said, 'See that? That means work. No smoke, no work. The people don't want to get rid of smoke be cause smoke means jobs.' "So far as I know," O'Har row said, "the smoke-abate ment ordinance is still not really enforced in that city.' But the fact that smoke goes with prosperity is not so. There are too many good smoke-catchers commercially available. Next: The rising tide. son, Tommy.

The law was oassed bv the last session of the legislature. Cecil C. Clark. WaDato fruit grower and state representa tive, had filed suit challeng ing the validity of the law. Wiehl. overruled a demurrer filed by the state June 19. The declaratory judgment signed Monday permanently enjoins the state from carrying out the provisions of the law. Assistant Attorney General Ernest M. Furnia, represent ing Director of Agriculture Joe Dwyer, said Wiehl's deci sion would be appealed to the State Supreme Court. The hieh eourt nrobablv will not hear arguments on the appeal until October. C. W. Halverson, Clark's at torney, said Wiehl's ruling killed the law for at least this year. The measure would have eliminated C grades on red and partial red varieties of apple. Clark asserted the law was arbitrary because it did not apply to other varieties of apples. Clark maintained the restriction denied equal pro tection of the law to the grow ers of red and partial red varieties. WOW!
