Bernard Baruch Not
To Be Interviewed
On 90th Birthday
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
New York - IUPD - Bernc-d
M. Baruch will be 00 next
Friday but the "elder states
man" and counselor of presi
idents is determined to get by
this milestone without suo
mitting to the annual "birth
day interview."
"I'm not talking," he said,
as he relaxed in his Manhattan
home, whiling away a full
hour with a UPI reporter and
photographer. He posed for
pictures but declined to be
interviewed.
Baruch told why. He con
siders himself a "private cit
izen with no responsibilities,"
and, as such, he does not feel
he should comment on world
affairs at this critical time.
Problems to Com
He believes that almost
every President of the United
States since Wilson has had
more difficult problems than
his predecessor. And each of
them had to leave important
problems unresolved.
It is his opinion that the
next President will inherit
even more difficult problems
than those now confronting
President Eisenhower.
So a visit with Baruch pro
duces, journalistically, a you-write-your-own
ticket story
without quotes from the
friendly and genial Baruch.
Baruch, tall, erect and silver-haired,
looks fine. The
fame he has attained rests
lightly upon him. He is lead
ing a fairly busy but unhur
ried life.
Admires Churchill )
He recently returned from
an eight weeks trip abroad.
While in England he visited
his intimate friend Winston
Churchill, a man whom he
says he has never known to
make an ignoble proposal.
On the wall of Baruch's liv
ing room is a large painting
of Churchill. Baruch has long
admired Churchill and Wood
row Wilson as truly great
men.
Unemployment
I 1 1 : l I
IIISUrdllLH ndllHQ I
Salem (UPD-A quarter cen
tury of unemployment insur
ance was hailed Monday by
acting Gov. Walter Pearson.
Pearson, who is acting gov
ernor in the absence from the
state of Gov. Mark Hatfield,
said "25 years ago, on Aug.
14, the Social Security Act
passed by the 74th Congress
of the United States was sign
ed into law. The federal state
unemployment insurance pro
vision was established by the
state of Oregon three months
later.
"High commendation is due
those who took this forward
step a quarter of a century
ago and who have participated
in the program over the years,
a result of such humanitarian
legislation which has touched
the lives of so many of our
citizens."
Pearson said that between
1938 and June, 1960, 1,538,278
valid claims have been pro
cessed in Oregon.
tacn day Baruch takes a
little exercise, usually a brisk
walk in nearby Central Park
or a stroll from his home to
his mid - Manhattan office
where he is putting the fin
ishing touches on his second
book of memoirs.
This book deals with his
career in public office. Baruch
has long been recognized as
a distinguished and remark
able American-one of the na
tion's soundest thinkers on
economic affairs. He began
his career as a $3-a-week of
fice boy in Wall Street and
became a millionaire before
he was 35.
On his strolls Baruch talks
to the elevator man, the taxi
driver, the traffic cop. He re
tains "the common touch." He
is a familiar personality in
New York, and is often seen
on the dais at important banquets.
Town Government
Shifts Politics
Nanticoke, Pa. - IUPD - For
ty years of Republican par
ty control came to an abrupt
end here Sunday.
The mayor, city council and
school board shifted their
political allegiance to the
Democratic party.
The officials declared in a
joint statement they felt "the
best interests of the citizens
would be served and imple
mented by a change of par
ty affiliation to that of the
Democratic party, the now
dominant party in the state
of Pennsylvania and the coun
ty of Luzerne."
"Party loyalty is meritori
ous providing it does not mit
igate against good govern
ment," the statement said. "To
be blindly loyal is to stagnate.
We must change to progress."
Mayor Charles A. Makar
charged that the county GOP
had become a "party of very
narrow cliques for the sole
interest and benefit of a priv
ileged few."

Lnodon-OJPD-Poultry expert
Phil Wood says that Amer
ican turkeys often are not as
tender as they should be be
cause they are stone cold
sober when slaughtered.
"They ought to be drunk
or anyway a little tipsy," said
Wood who manages a poultry
combine that markets some
20,000 birds a day.
Wood said he was making
his views known well in ad
vance of Thanksgiving so tur
key breeders could lay In sup
plies of brandy, Scotch, bour
bon and gin.
Stupid Fellow
Although Wood's organiza
tion handles mostly chickens
he has made a spare time
study of the turkey. He does
not have a high regard for its
intelligence.
"Actually," h e confided,
"the turkey is rather a stupid
fellow. And that is why al
though the Americans raise
magnificent birds they fre
quently turn out to be not as
tasty as they might be once
they are on the table."
In order to give a practical
demonstration Wood ordered
himself a double whisky and
went on.
"When it comes time to kill
him the turkey senses some
thing is wrong but he does
not know what, which is per
haps just as well. He gets all
tense and this fear or fright
quickly affects the quality of
his flesh. It loses some of its
taste. It may become tough.
"Now I have myself con
firmed that the following
methods of avoiding this V'jal
ly works."
Can't Take It
"Just before you kill your
turkey for Thanksgiving Day
or whatever the occasion, feed
him a few belts of whisky or
brandy or anything alcoholic
he'll accept.
"A turkey can't take it. A
few sips and he'll be starting
to go-or a few grains of rum
soaked feed will do it.
Estacada - IUPD - Cecil Coon
rod, about 35, Oak Grove,
was found Sunday after be
ing lost overnight in the rug
ged Clackamac river coun
try 30 miles east of here.
He may staaiter-but he
will also relax. And that is
the time to help him fulfill
his destiny as the centerpiece
of the dining table."
Wood said that in his opin
ion a happy bird is a tender
bird.
"A nip or two will get a
turkey into that carefree
state," he. said.
