Inaugural Committee
Approves Beet Makert
As Telecast Sponsors
Washinston - (UPI) - Gulping a few of its own words,
L r? y mauSural committee says that if beer makers
object SPnsor lhe tele"st of inaugural events, it won't
However, deodorants, brassieres, and girdles apparently
will continue to be classed as "inappropriate subjects" for
iv commercials in broadcasts of ceremonies attendant on
inauguration of President-elect John F. 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."

Burma Denies Red
Troops in Nation
Rangoon, Burma -I11PD- The
Burmese government said
Thursday no Communist
troops from China have enter
ed northern Burma, either
with or without the consent of
authorities here.
Offcials emphatically de
nied Nationalist Chinese Pres
ident Chiang Kai-shek's
charge that Red troops had
entered eastern Burma, with
the apparent consent of the
government, in a move which
"poses a threat to Thailand,"
The Burmese said the only
Chinese known to be on this
counry's soil are a few hold
outs of the Nationalist refu
gees who fled across the bor
der when the Communists
overran their homeland. Most
of the Nationalist refugees
have gone to Formosa.

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."

Portland Eases
Liquor Regulation
Portland-flOT- The Portland
city council voted Thursday to
let liquor a little closer to
bowling alleys.
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. The ordinance must be
reread before final passage.
nal act was played today in;
the city's long "battle of the:
Greeks" a comic opera feud
between two immigrant res
taurant owners that began in
the l20s,
Demtris Jim) Diakandru,
one of the principals, was
buried today. 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.'..
The restaurateurs leased
each other's buildings, forcing
them to move out. Then they

Happy Man Gives

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.
The encroachment of age
finally brought a state of
dormancy to the feud and the

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:
