Kennedy on Jan. 20. Committee officials at a news conference listed beer among commercial products to be banned in the telecast. Pained Protest ' They suffered a quick change of heart after getting a pained protest from Rep. Henry S. Reuss (D-Wis.) who hails from Mdwaukee, the city that claims to have made beer famous, - Reuss contended that beer will be as appropriate on the new frontier as it was in Greece as long ago as 630 B. C. "The history of beer is as old as the history of western civilization and of Democratic insiitutons," Reuss said in a" wire to Samuel C. Brightman, publicity director for the inaugural committee. "If you are as big a man as I think you are, you will take steps to revoke the ruling singling out beer as inappropriate for the inaugural." Reuss made public Brightman's reply: "Have received your wire and am appropriately chas tened. My recollection of the press conference is that re porters have put words in my mouth where I would rather have some good Milwaukee beer. We will not take an ar bitrary position if a beer company expresses a desire to spon sor part of the inaugural coverage." Three Men Appear I ii Circuit Court Three men appeared in cir cuit court Thursday afternoon before Judge Edward C. Kelly. Thomas Ernest Smoot, 57, transient, who is charged with robbing a Medford Sate way store Dec. 2, requested a grand jury hearing and to ap pear in person before the grand jury.

Attempts Thwaried Bennett said some ingenious escape attempts were thwart ed, including one by an in mate of the Leavenworth, Kan., penitentiary who hid in a niche cut in two bread boxes stacked one atop the other. Another inmate piled loaves of bread around the would-be escapee, but an employee dis covered the hidden man just before the bread boxes were loaded on a truck leaving the prison Bennett said five psychotic prisoners almost managed to escape from the Springfield, Mo., medical center by cut ting through steel grilles in the storm sewer system with a torch. But the prisoner oper ating the cutting torch took time to trim neatly a hole he cut in one of the last grilles, and a search party caught up with the missing men. Bennett said sentences of prisoners committed during 1960 averaged 32 months, compared with 25 months five years ago. The increase was due ehiefiy to longer sen tences handed narcotics viola tors, he said. Volunteers Praised The prison director praised inmates who have volunteer ed for a wide range of health experiments. He said hun dreds of prisoners at the At lanta, Ga., penitentiary have volunteered to participate in a new study on transmission of monkey malaria to humans. More than 500 Atlanta prison ers are taking part in a study of oral polio vaccine started this year, he said. Bennett also reported that the bureau's inspectors exam ined nearly 800 local jails during the year. He said their reports indicated that in stances of cruelty and abuse of prisoners' rights "are in creasingly rare."

In a stormy session, the council voted 4 to 1, to allow doorways for direct access from bowling alleys to cock tail lounges. Present law requires a door less wall to separate alleys and cocktail lounges, making it necessary for bowling alley patrons to go outside to enter cocktail lounges in the same building. j The decision came after a i parade of citizens and minis i ters appeared before the coun i oil mainly to protest the j change. i Only Commissioner William i Bowes voted against the mea jsure.

He died Monday at the age of 71. The other, Tom Petropulous is in retire ment. "Dad is kinda old and does not get around much," one of Petropulous sons said. 'I haven't seen him in about a year. He probably hasn't even read about the death of his rival." The feud was waged with seriousness and vigor by the two men, whose restaurants were located across the street from each other. The feud began when one of the men nobody remem bers which one set up his restaurant opposite the other, violating the unwritten rule that two Greek immigrants should not operate competing businesses in the same area. Price wars, evictions and counter evictions waged over the years, much to the delight of the customers and residents of the area, but a burden to the court.'..

Happy Man Gives Onlookers Surprise HoHywood-OJPD- The police man on the beat in front of the famed Brown Derby res taurant did a double take Thursday along with other on lookers as a nattitly attsred young man kissed the side walk. Sound technician Don Fran ciscus explained to the offi cer: "I'm not crazy. I was born in Hollywood, but for the past six years I've been working in New York, freezing every winter. I swore if I ever got back to California I'd kiss the sidewalk in front of the Brown Derby. "Well, here I am at iast and I just did." California PUC Wanfs Role in Sale San FraneisccAWPD-The pres ident of the California Public Utilities commission said Thursday that the commission would ask to participate be fore the Interstate Commerce commission on proposals for sale of control of Western Pa cific railroad. Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads are both trying to acquire Western Pacific. Everett C. McKeage, the commission president, said the California body sought to par ticipate only as an "interested party," but may declare its at titude after proceedings have developed. t ings and the legal battle waxed hot again.

In 1941, Petropulous secret- iy leased the building contain ing his rival's restaurant and triumphantly refused to re new the lease, only to find Diakandru had done the same thing.

He did note, however, that many individual issues today are undervalued. Problems Citsd Sidney B. Lurie of Joseph- iisal and Co., said the market faces the same internal price depressants that existed this year, including the absence of an inflationary stampede to equities and the sew competi tion from senior securities. Above ail, Lttrie declared, the stock buying public lu.s become a nation of "economic hypochondriacs." Mew con cepts of valuation have come into being, he explained, with everyone wanting the stocks with a story, "No one wants the stock market's problem children, and the companies which lack claim to special growth are penalized by in attention." While selectivity therefore will remain king, Lurie said two facts cannot be overlooked: Next year speculative i plosion and new consumer buying habits will provida many speculative opportune ties.
