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.

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.) '

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

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.

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

the valley and said, 'See that?
That means work. No smoke,
no work. The people don't
want to get rid of smoke be

"So far as I know," O'Har

Washington Law
Unconstitutional
Yakima-fllPD-Superior Judge
Lloyd Wiehl Monday held a
new state law placing restric
tions on grade C apples to be
unconstitutional.
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.
