THURSDAY. AUGUST 11. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- T7LLI0T PAUL, when working on a Boston newspaper in LJ his salad days, excitedly proclaimed that he had figured cut a brand-new gimmick for a murder mystery: the victim " to Destao&ed to death with an icicle. Of course, by the time the .police arrived, there . would be no trace left of 1 a weapon. : Paul's editor quenched his enthusiasm by citing three previously pub lished whodunits in which .exactly the same device ..had been employed. For Weeks thereafter Paul's mates on the city desk hummed "With An Icicle Built for Two." everv time he entered the office. Paul quit, and moved to Paris, . where he took an office on the first landing of the Eiffel Tower. "It's the only place in town," he explained, "where I can't see this hideous edifice from my window." .. An executive in a Madison Avenue ad agency recently was elected a vice-president, but he vetoed the notion of sending out a publicity note about his promotion. Asked why, he ex. plained modestly, "Everybody. thinks I'm president." I960, by Bennett Cert.

QNE wonders what would " happen if both of these ' commands were rigidly obeyr ed. It's hard to say. It's just possible that it might be bet ter for everybody concerned. WEW horizons in the news: ' 1. Overweight people can prolong their life expectancy by reducing as much as 20 per cent. 2. Young animals have some mysterious and potent quality that can be transfer red to older animals (human beings are animals, you know) to slow the aging pro cess. TJOTH of these thesis (a thesis is a position or proposition which some per son advances and offers to maintain by argument) are based on experiments on rats. The first experiment was rather simple. The investiga tors took two sets of aging rats. To one set, they gave all the food they could eat. To the other set, they gave only HALF as much food as they wanted. The rats that ale only half as much as they wanted lived 20 per cent longer. Experiment No. 2 was more complex. They took an old rat and a young one. Inci sions were made along their sides and they were joined by skin and muscle, some what after the manner of Siamese twins. Through this junction the animals exchang ed blood and other body fluids. Whenever a set of these twins died, they were dissected. The disections revealed that the older rat had GOT YOUNGER. rrtHE experimenters don't - propose that if you want to stay younger longer you join yourself in a Siamese twin operation with a young er person. They go farther than that. They theorize that this "mysterious and potent qual ity" that apparently was transfused from the younger rat to the older rat can be identified and isolated and BABY CORNER'S ANNUAL 1 WEEK 12 PRICE SALE Wo.' then SYNTHESIZED. (Syn thesis is the art or process of making or "building up" a compound by the union of simpler compounds or of its elements-such as the syn thesis of water from hydro gen and oxygen.) So If and when comes the time when this mysterious and po tent quality transmitted from the younger rat to the older rat is synthesized and made commercially available and there arrives the dreaded mo ment when you're beginning to FEEL OLD, you'll simply go down to your doctor and get a shot of the stuff. TTMMMMMMMM. Maybe Ponce de Leon had something after all. His spring of eternal youth might have contained an accidental synthesis of this "mysterious and potent quality." , WHO'S doing all this ex Derimental stuff? ' Well, it's reported frorn San Francisco, where the Fifth In ternational Congress of Gerontology, is in session. (Gerontology, incidentally, is the study of aging processes.) Ain't science wonderful? Four Persons Slain By Pasco Gunman Pasco, Wash.-IUPII-Four per sons were shot to death in the bedroom of a home here early today and an all-points bulle tin has been issued for a man seen driving away from the house. Police identified the victims as Mrs. Robbie Jean Harris, Israel M. Fowler, Celeste Dix on, . and Truman H. Brown. The bodies of the four victims were found in a corner of the bedroom in the Harris home by Mrs. Harris' 12-year-old son who was awakened by the shots and saw a man drive away from the house. Officers said the four had apparently been lined up in the corner of the bedroom be- fore they were shot in the head by bullets from a small calibre gun. Roadblocks were immedi ately set up in the area. Summer Dresses Play Clothes Miscellaneous FOR ' Also Includes Some Robei and Small Boys' Overcoat! BUY TODAY and SAVE!

(UPD The bodies of a man and a girl were recovered today from Long Island Sound, where a 14-foot motor boat hit a reef and capsized with six persons aboard. - The two bodies were not immediately identified. But the girl was believed to have been Judy Grant, 16, Tor rance, Calif. Judy, her mother, Vilma, 36, stepfather, Hugh, 43, and uncle, Thomas Grant, 40, Dar ien, Conn., vanished under the rough waters Wednesday when the boat hit a rock about two miles from shore. Girls Picked Up Judy's twin sister, Jean, and another sister, Janice, 13, were picked up by a passing yacht more than four hours after the tragedy. They watched in horror as the oth ers went under. The yacht Redwing owned by TV entertainer Gary Moore rescued the two sisters. Their father, Frank J. Ma kowski, Central Islip, N.Y., was en route to Stamford to care for the girls, who had taken their stepfather's name when the family moved to Torrance, Calif. He and Mrs. Grant were divorced about seven years ago, he said. The two girls were rescued by Robert Bendick, a tele vision producer who had bor rowed Moore's 39-foot sloop for a vacation cruise. "We couldn't do anything," Janice sobbed. "We watched and we couldn't do anything." The girls told the Bendicks they had seen their mother, sister and uncle lose their grips on the overturned motorboat and disappear in the turbulent waters nearly a mile offshore. The girls' stepfather tried to swim to shore in a despera tion move to seek assistance after their tiny craft struck a submerged reef, split open 'lid overturned. He dis appeared. The accident occur red Wednesday afternoon. The rescued girls, near exhaustion and suffering from shock, had been clinging to the prow of the boat for four hours when Bendick, returning from the Cape Cod, Mass., area;' heard a faint cry. Pulled Them Aboard "I turned the sloop," he said. "We saw the overturned boat and the two girls cling ing to it. They were hanging on the orow. How they man- need to stav there for. four hours I will never know. "We tossed them a rope XI 5 Altitude Record Attempt Cancelled Edwards AFB, Calif. - (UPD -An attempt by the rocket powered X15 on the world's altitude record was cancelled today after the craft was car ried aloft beneath the wing of a jet bomber. Lack of fuel pressure just 35 seconds before drop was blamed for the cancellation and the plane was returned to earth still lashed beneath the bomber. . Eventually, an X15 equip ped with a 60,000 - pound thrust -engine is expected to climb to nearly 100 above the earth. miles TYPOGRAPHER DIES Columbus, Ohio -IUPII- John C.

There are revolutionary priests, but there is no doubt Franco can count on a good number of Fascist priests." (About 400 of Cuba's 700 priests are Spaniards.)
