When the normal age for shaving arrived, no whiskers appeared to be shaved" off. Nor did any hair appear on his pate, which remained as bare as a billiard ball. The patient was naturally humiliated. He wanted hair ori his head. For 11 long years, he pestered Dr. Atkinson, who tried out on him every known form of treatment for total baldness. All to no avail. He remained hairless. Washington Report By WILLIAM S. WHITE iff- C William S. White UllXL'S STRENGTH Jerusalem - Israel is far moro a thoroughly practical nfl nationalistic modern 1 state than it i ill a u u a b j Diblical land or even a stronghold of the Jewish re ligion. This must j first be a stout nation, so far as the Israelis are concern ed, even before it is a symbol for the hopes of world Jewry. Basically this is an experi ment not so much in settle ment, however appealing, as in statecraft. To come here and talk to a people of rare candor - people who don't mind the most pointed questions and don't shilly-shally - is to dis cover that Israel's real role is widely misunderstood in the world at large. Certainly, this is the case in the Christian world. This is not simply some set- apart reservation of an an cient and untroubled faith, as mny suppose it to be. The trut prophets here are not the prophets of the Old Testa- mtrvt. They are instead the modern prophets of a Demo QfKit and secular, or non relitfious, social order based in jurt on British and Ameri ci perience. l IS an order largely run by men and women more conctrned with this world than it'ith the next. This cor respondent is informed, on tcellent authority, that per hoj? 65 per cent of the people of Jsrael have no religion at til in the formal sense. Tfcio does not mean that IsJatl is an anti-religious state. A majority of the Israel lis simply feel the unwisdom of mixing religion and poli tics, lest such a course cheap- Sn religion and unnecessari ly complicate politics. At the same time, the greatest re spect is paid to the exercise of religion among those who wish to exedcise it. Again, though a rather doc trinaire socialism is strong here, it is precisely for this reason that Israel is so relia ble a western ally in the struggle with international Communism, and more bleak ly resolved to defeat it at all cost, than is the bred-in-the-bone Socialist. He has forever been Soviet Communism's most-hated enemy. AND anybody who might still question the combat quality of these people has only to go out and watch them wrestling implacably with the Negev, the great des ert. The hot wind (called shar- av) burns and blasts them with endless dust; they put cloths about their mouths and work on, raising homes in the wasteland. No Christian visitor can ex pect to grasp the infinite com plications in a timeless relig ion, Judaism, which is also a culture and way of life. Such a visitor, however, has no trouble in discovering this much: Some of the splinter parties here operate more on doctrin al religious differences than on the ordinary bread-and-butter questions which nor mally form public issues. The dominant group would like an end to these doctrinal divis ions. It would like to change the election laws so as to drive down the number of splinter parties and so ap proach the two-party system. As things stand no single party can possible obtain a clear parliamentary majority in its own right-not even the relatively powerful party of Prime Minister " David Ben- Gurion. Coalitions are thus necessary. - A N undoubted majority con--siders that doctrinal dif ferences within Judaism should be private and not public differences. It has great gratitude for the im mense contributions made to this country by world Jewry. It does not, however, wish these contributions to be used for interventions by world Jewry, however well-intend ed, in the affairs of Israel. - The Israelis simply wish to run Israel in their own way. There is no lack of devotion to world Jewry. It is simply that Israel is first of all a nation and must conduct its affairs in the only way nations really can. This is through practical, realistic political techniques appropriate to the place where they are being applied. Israel doesn't want the support of its allies because this is the home of the Jews. It wants such support because it has earned its way in the free world alliance. This is a position of strength. Such positions, where power and determination are actualities rather than promises and hopes, are all too rare within the West. (Copyright. 1960. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.) rpHEN -- About a year ago He heard about a new anti biotic. He consulted his phy sician about it. The physician shrugged his shoulders and said WHY NOT it might work. So they headed for the state health service, which gives free medical service to all Britons who need it. The health service supplied the antibiotic. Let's allow Dr. At kinson to take the story from here. He says: "To my amazement, in five weeks hair was sprouting widely and in two months he had a good growth. In three months he had a crop of hair of which anybody could be proud. Now he cycles past me in the street with his hair streaming in the wind and a seraphic smile from ear to ear." WONDERFUL!!! But There's a catch to it. In or der to keep his hair, the man has to take two tablets a day. This particular antibiotic doesn't come for free. The two tablets a day 728 of them in ordinary years and 730 in leap years cost the state medical service the rather tidy sum of 52 pounds per annum, which comes to about $150 in American money. All to keep hair on ONE MAN'S head. TOO ADDRESS IRISH Washington -(LTD President Eisenhower will speak at the Notre Dame University com mencement in South Bend, Ind., on June 5.

SPRING TERM STARTS MARCH 28 Day and Night Classes ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 40 N. Riverside 619 S.E. Cass 411 Main - Medford Roseburg Klamath Falls SP 3-4264 GR 3-7256 TU 2-4126 WE MUST assume that the British government could afford to keep hair on ONE man's head even if it does cost S150 a year. BUT According to the latest esti mate of the U.N., the popula tion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is 51,681,000. Let's as sume that half of them are men, which would amount in round numbers to about 25 million males. Let's further assume that half of them are bald or fearing baldness. That brings us down to 12 V2 million prospective applicants for anti-baldness treatments at $150 per year each. I'm never very sure of my decimal points, but if my mathematics are within shoot ing distance of correct that would come to about a BIL LION, 800 million dollars just for anti-baldness treat ment alone. YOU may say: All men wouldn't apply for the treatments. Pooh! Pooh! You would thereby imply a crass ignor ance of male human nature. There isn't ANYTHING that a man fearing baldness won't do. Why, I myself, back in the years when baldness first began to threaten, paid a State of Jefferson barber $40 for a series of anti-baldness treatments! Besides In Britain, which is a wel fare state, the cost of these anti-baldness treatments is pungled up by the GOVERN MENT. So ... if a loyal Brit isher's first thought was that $150 a year for anti-baldness treatments is a lot of money to stick the government for . . . you can bet your bottom dollar that his second thought would be: IF I DON'T TAKE THE MONEY, SOMEBODY ELSE WILL." That would clinch it. REMEMBER In this analysis of the baldness problem in Britain we are dealing with a popu lation of only 51 millions. Our U. S. population is al ready crowding the 200 mil lion mark and the figure sharps are talking about an i m p e n ding population EX PLOSION. Taking it by and large, I think maybe we'd better shy away from the welfare state. It costs too much.

Motherwell Jury Deliberations Due Downieville, Calif. -(LTD- A Sierra county jury was ex pected to begin deliberations today in the case of Larry Lord Motherwell, admitted lover and liar, charged with the murder of a 72-year-old widow for her money. Superior Judge Warren Steel was to instruct the jury this morning before sending them to make their decision. Final arguments were con cluded yesterday as District Attorney Gordon Smith asked the jury to "let Larry know he can't come to Sierra coun ty and commit murder." Motherwell, 42, of Washing ton, D.C., is accused of killing Mrs. Pearl Putney of Wash- District Attorney Plans Inquiry in Finch Jury Behavior Los Angeles-flJP&-The dis trict attorney's office today wants to know more about the stormy behavior of the Finch Tregoff murder trial jurors during their fruitless delibera tions. "I feel it is incumbent on us to make an inquiry into the statements of threats of physical violence and of sug gested improper c o n d u c t," said District Attorney Wil liam B. McKesson. "If threats of physical vio lence were made, as has been reported, we might have a felony or a misdemeanor to unearth concerning the jury." Talks Planned McKesson said he planned at an unspecified time to talk with all seven women and five men jurors about charges of prejudice and amorous ad vances during their eight days of deliberations. The jury became hopelessly deadlocked Saturday and the three-month, four-day trial of Dr. Bernard Finch and his mistress, Carole Tregoff, was declared a mistrial.. McKesson also revealed he has not decided who will prosecute Finch, 42, and Miss Tregoff, 23, in a retrial on charges of murder and con spiracy in the July 18 gunshot slaying of the physician's wife. "It will depend when and where the retrial is held," said McKesson. His refusal to say definitely that deputy district attorneys Fred N. Whichello and Clif ford Crail again will handle the state's case threw in doubt the identity of counsel for both sides at the retrial. Defense Undecided Both Finch's attorney, Grant Cooper, and Carole's counsel, Robert Neeb Jr., have said they still were undecided whether they will be avail able to represent their clients in a new trial. McKesson will move on Thursday to have a new date set for the second trial of the accused lovers who remain in county jail. The charges of strife among the jurors were made mainly by jurors Genevieve Lang and Louis Werner. They reported that at one point during de liberations juror Eddie Lind sey threatened to throw Mrs Lang out- a window and that another juror sent love notes to women on the panel.

Los Angeles Coffee Now Costs 15 Cent's Los Angeles - (CPU - The knights of the road no longer will be able to ask, "Say, buddy, got a dime for a cof fee?" When they reach Los ! Angeles they'll have to ask for 15 cents. That's the new price for 8 hot cup of java at most Los Angeles restaurants starting today. o Robert M. Riley, general manager of the Southern Cali fornia Restaurant Assn., said . the hike from 10 to 12 cents to 15 cents for a cup of cof fee in most of the cits 5.000 restaurants was due mainly to a 7 per cent pay increase to restaurant employees.
