, EVERYBODY KNOWS HERMAN Ask
, most anyone in the San Francisco Bay area
who Herman is and they will know. Bars
, have Jars labeled "Herman's Defense Fund"
:and filled with change. President Eisen
. hower has commented on sharing headlines
s. with Herman. Lawsuits amounting to $5,000
have been filed over Herman. And Herman?
Mt iiftntii -
Herman Is a 2W-year-old orange and white
striped tomcat with an affinity for a neigh
bor's 12 female Siamese cats to the point
that he has been accused of attacking the
neighbor twice, breaking a window, ripping
a screen door and "beating up" several of
the female cats,

Herman's Antics Lead To Lawsuits;
Friends Contribute To Defense Fund
Alameda, Calif.-flJPD-Every day the mail
man brings a bundle of letters to the Rus
. sel Bowler home addressed simply to Her
man . . .
A bar in the Oakland financial district
. set up a jar labeled "Herman's defense
. fund" and within a few hours it was filled
with greenbacks and silver ...
And when President Eisenhower visited
. San Francisco last month he was- reported
to have commented with some amusement
. over the fact he had to share the front
pages with Herman.
t Storm Center of Quarrel
Herman is a 2V4-year-oId, 10-pound
.. orange and white striped tomcat who is the
storm center of a violent neighborhood
quarrel that has been carried to the courts.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Cook have sued
Herman's owners for $3,500. They claim
Herman attacked Mrs. Cook on two occa
sions, broke a window, ripped a screen door
land "beat up", several of the Cook's 12
Siamese cats.
Furthermore, the Cooks want something
done to control Herman. They offered to
pay the cost of surgery to quiet his allegedly
roughneck, amorous behavior.
But the Bowlers counter-sued for $1,500,
arguing that Herman is only a "red-blooded
American tomcat . . . led astray by the
plaintiffs' females, being the more deadly
of the species."
Mrs. Cook said she was not concerned
about Herman disrupting the blood line of
her Siamese pets. She has her own tomcat,
she said, and anybody who knows anything
about cats knows that the Siamese will have
nothing to do with another torn.
"Everybody thinks Herman is a big Don
Juan when he's really Just a Jack the Rip
per," Mrs. Cook said.
"You go 'ssf at any other cat In the
world and he'll run away. Herman stands
there and goes 'ssf right back and then
advances toward you."
Herman's owner, an Alameda fireman,
denies that Herman is a bully.
A Matter of Principle
"Everybody seems to think I have a lion
on my hands," he said. "But he's just an
old tomcat who chases every female.
"And I'm not going to have him neuter
ed, either. It's a matter of principle."
Herman hit the headlines again Tuesday
when Mrs. Bowler reported to police he was
a catnap victim. She said he had been taken
from their basement and she searched for
2V4 hours with a flashlight before finding
him bruised and bloody in a neighbor's base
ment. When she brought Herman home, she
said, her husband took one look at him and
yelled;
"This Is war!"
Police are investigating.

nearly a year this week and
brought down enough of the
tasty birds to bring several
back to the chef at 1600
Pennsylvania- ave.
It was his seventh trip to
the plantation country , in
southwestern G e o r g I a. He
went five times to the Thom
asville, Ga., home of W. Alton
(Pete) Jones, millionaire in
dustrialist and sportsman who
is one of. the President's fa
vorite companions on out-of-town
vacations.
. Hunting conditions are far
from rugged and each "gun"
is assured of repeated chances
to get his limit.
Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty was asked, for in
stance, how he thought the
Chief Executive would do on
the quail-hunting expedition.
"Whatever the limit is
that's what he'll get," came
the reply.
This recalled an embarrass
ing episode in Denver, Colo.,
when it was learned that Eis
enhower's trout catch exceed
ed the legal limit. Since then,
the President has been care
ful to set a good example for
outdoorsmen.
. '
The President improved his
putting game during a 12-day
visit to the Augusta National
Golf Club and carded rounds
of 81 and 82 as a result. He
likes the course so much and
values his membership so
highly that it's a cinch that
he will be back after he leaves
the White House.
Many people in Augusta ex
pect him to spend the week
between Christmas and New
Year's at the plush Augusta
course.
When reporters and photog
raphers feted Jim Hagerty re
cently with a farewell party
at Augusta, it was the first
time that he had been so hon
ored. Hagerty was always too
eager to start a new job to get
properly saluted by his ex
colleagues in the past, Mrs.
Majorie Hagerty said.
The White House spokes
man refused to confirm or
deny persistent reports that
he will become vice president
of American Broadcasting Co.
for news and public affairs.
Insiders believe he will re
sign soon - perhaps before the
first of the year. Hagerty has
often made it clear that he
wants to work in New York
and not Washintgon.
"I'm a city boy," he says.

The Family Council
Cdltor'i Nolei The Family Council consists ot Judge, t psychia
trist, three clercymen, three edltori end women's editor. Each article
tl a summary of an actual case hlttory. The Council reports on
problems thai hare been deal I with by responsible aienclei and
Mineite B. - I tell my sister
to keep her daughters apart,
Ursula W. - So far, they
seem to get along fine.
e e
Minette B. - My sister is
headed for trouble with her
two daughters. The older one,
Sybil, is 15 and brilliant, but
homely. The other is Norine
who's 13 and so beautiful she
takes your breath away. She's
bright, too. But her marks
don't come near Sybil's. May
be it s because she doesn t try
as hard.
When they were small, the
differences didn't matter. But
now, whenever I see them to
gether at a party or a dance,
it breaks my heart. Last sum
mer I gave a garden party in
honor of Sybil's birthday and
all the boys I invited as Sy
bil's friends flocked around
Norine!
I'm urging my sister to send
them to separate camps this
summer and certainly to plan
for separate colleges for them.
How can you display two girls
side by side all the time, when
one is so dazzling that people
hardly see the other?
Sybil doesn t seem to mind
being the Ugly Duckling, but
deep down inside she must be
suffering terribly from the
contrast with such a looker of
a sister!
e e
Ursula W. - I know Minette
has my daughters' interest at
heart, but I don't see what
she's so worried about. I've
always treated the girls alike
and helped them appreciate
each other's good points. They
love each other. I don t see
any signs of jealousy.
I admit it hasn t been easy.
It seems like a trick of Nature
to give us only two children.
both girls, one a plain Jane
and the other a Venus. What
can parents do?
You can t keep people from
skipping over Sybil and ooh-
ing over Norine. You can t
stop boys from making a bee-
line right past Sybil to her
sister. But here's where my
sister is wrong. People come
back to Sybil. That's why she
doesn't feel bad. She has
friends, too.
I don't see any point in
separating the girls.. Norine
thinks there's no one so witty
and kind as Sybil. And Sybil
likes being around a sister
who looks like a starlet and
has a lot of respect for her.
Norine is really no menace to
her big sister. :
e
The Council: Aunt Minette
sounds as though she's identi
fying with the less beautiful
niece and trying to rescue her
from a fate complete with
booby prize! In this case, Ma
ma may really know best.
We agree with both women
that it's hard when parents
are dealt a hand of such ex
tremes. Hard, but fascinating
and challenging! What to do
about the very tall daughter
and the very short son? Or
the brothers, one athletic and
extrovert, the other the
dreamer and aesthete?
Keeping Sybil and. Norine
apart may have a temporary
value during a summer flr
later at college. Sybil would
be better able to meet people
on her own, without the con
stant distraction and compe
tition of her sister. And the
whole family would have a
quiet, think-it-over period in
which to see things straight
and add up the score realisti
cally. But the more solid aproach
is the mother's, for it is based
on the sisters' feelings about
each other. Sybil might want
her sister with her at the
same college, possibly as Cam
pus Queen. Norine may not
mind following in her brainy
sister's A-plus trail, even if
she fills it with C's.
As to beaux, Sybil doesn't
need "flocks." One at a time
will do. And there are always
fine boys who, after the first
once-over, do a recap and find
the hidden charms of an un
spectacular girl.
Regardless of physical at
tributes, these girls are both
attractive and can remain so
whether together or apart.
