" r. . , i ..tube name 01 me : book, son?" The private answered, "It's called 'What Twelve Million Women Want.". 'Hey," .cried the good sergeant. "Lemme see that book a minute. I want to know if they got my name -spelled right!" Frank Sullivan, beloved sage of Saratoga, consented to an Interview recently.' ."What do you think of American women?" began the interviewer. "Thev should be torn down," said Mr. S. briskly, then added, "Oh, pardon me, that's my answer to what do you think of the new-fangled New York skyscrapers. As for American women, I'm not sure there are any nowadays. Everybody wears pants and how is a fellow with astigmatism and myopia going to tell which ''are women and which are men t" Mr. Sullivan also commented on the state of American belles Icttres. "It's in a state of flux," he opined. "This chap Kathcrine -Anne Porter seems a good bet, and so does this other chap, Walt -Whitman. "As for the Russians," he concluded, in no uncertain .terms, "they'll never amount to anything until they get rid of the Czar." C 1963, by Bennett Cerf.

Stop Me Lung Transplant Patient Succumbs Pittsburgh - IUPI) -' An ac countant who had a dead man's lung implanted in his chest died Monday a week after the operation., Regis J. Sismour, 44, was reported to have been making satisfactory progress follow ing the historic transplant but suffered a relapse Sunday. Doc tors at Presbyterian University hospital where the operation was performed said contributory causes of his death were heart failure, a drop in blood pressure and a staphylococcus infection in his own lung. They said he had been doing well "but his own remaining lung was unable to hold him over this transitional stage when the body, which auto matically rejects foreign mat ter and tissue, would perhaps have completely accepted the implanted lung."

Nixon today said any further Western concessions in nuclear test ban talks would be "a victory for com munism." Nixon, on an extended va cation tour with his family, told United Press Internation al, "I feel we have made quite sufficient concessions on a nuclear test ban treaty." "If we make any further concessions in Moscow, the treaty would be a victory for communism," Nixon said, re ferring to the Anglo-American talks going on now with the Soviet Union. "On the other hand, if we enter the discussions hard headed and with a realistic understanding of Soviet aims, we may very well achieve an acceptable treaty," the defeat ed. 1960 GOP candidate for president said. Discusses Presidential Race Nixon, accompanied by, his wife and two daughters and friends, also discussed the coming 1964 presidential race. "I should have something to say in about three months. If you say anything now you put yourself out on a limb . . . All those who will be candidates will have to de clare themselves within three months and then I'll be able to throw my support to the man I believe can do the best job," Nixon said. "I definitely will not de clare myself a candidate," he said. , Nixon, pausing in Frank furt on a hop from Switzer land to Hungary, spoke about New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's charges that ex treme right-wingers hope to gain control of the Republi can party. 'Can Make Trouble' "It's true that the extreme right wing - the nuts or the kooks as we call them in Cali fornia can make plenty of trouble for us as they did for me in California," Nixon said, referring apparently to his un successful bid for the Cali fornia governorship last year. Nixon said the GOP's ex treme right wing is "potent, noisy and well-financed, but I do not think they will dom inate the convention" in which the GOP will pick its presi dential candidate next year. V 1 Aft MEDFORD Nixon said it Is true that "the extreme right wing is behind Sen. Barry Goldwater now. But I do not think he is one of them. And I am sure he must regard them as a liability just as I do." Some extreme right-wingers regard the Republican senator from Arizona as "too liberal," Nixon said. Morse Lashes at Press Criticism On Tongue Point Washington-IUPD-Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) lashed out Monday at newspaper criti cism of his role in finding a use for the abandoned Tongue Point Naval Station, and he said the low bids submitted for the property recently make it more important that a federal use be found for the site. But Morse emphasized that if the federal government de cides it does not want to use the base, he will "do every thing I can" to help Oregon business interests obtain the property for private indus trial development. Described as 'Steal' Morse earlier this year des cribed a plan by the city of Astoria to buy the property, for $920,000 and resell it to a private industrial corporation for $950,000 as a "steal." In a Senate statement Mon day, he quoted the adminis trator of the General Ser vices Administration as say ing the GSA could not abuse its negotiating authority by taking part in such a deal. Morse castigated the Port land Oregonian "and similar newspapers suffering from moral myopia," for criticiz ing him after he came out against the plan. Six Bids Received The GSA then put the naval station site up for bids June 24, with the understanding that it would not be sold at least until September. Only six bids were receiv ed on the various parcels, and none on the entire base. The GSA has not yet acted on them. "Just a few days ago, the MAIL TRIBUNE.

(UPI) Southern Pacific Service Restored Dorris, Calif. -lUPII-Passenger and freight service on South ern Pacific's main track be tween San Francisco and Portland, Ore., was restored Monday. ' The derailment late Sun day night of a northbound freight train tore up 450 feet of track. President assured me again that a most thorough survey of possible federal uses of the Tongue Point property is be ing made by federal officials," the Oregon Democrat said. "Government use would un doubtedly provide the s'tate with the greatest amount of economic return in the form of jobs and economic expan sion in the Astoria area."

Civil Obligations Declared Unstressed in Rights Battle Portland -0IPD- Former Sen. William Knowland of Cali fornia said Monday it was too bad that those persons who had led the tight for one seg ment of civil rights have not equally stressed civil obliga tions and civil responsibili ties. Knowland, publisher of the Oakland Tribune, spoke at the opening session of the 23rd annual convention of the National Sheriffs' Associa tion. He said that a person seek ing civil rights -had no right to "ride roughshod" over the constitutional rights of the rest of the nation's citizens and to claim that any minor ity can impose by unconstitu tional means its views upon the majority of our people without their consent, "The American people are a just people, they are a pa tient people, they are an un derstanding people and they are a law-abiding people," he said. He said civil rights arc far more broad than racial rights alone. Hatfield Considered On another subject, Know land said Oregon Gov. Hat field was one of five men who rank immediately behind Nel son Rockefeller and Barry Goldwater as possible Repub lican presidential nominees next year. Increase Noted in Bank's Deposits Central Polnt-The Central Point branch of the First Na tional Bank of Oregon report ed mid-year deposits of $3, 338,483 and loans outstanding of $4,124,245, according to Branch Manager F.

JULY Knowland listed the others as Govs. William Scranton of Pennsylvania, George Rom ncy of Michigan and James Rhodes of Ohio and Sen. Thruslon Morton of Ken tucky. "Hatfield is personable and he is one of not too many Republican governors," Know land said. "His name gels con sideration in California." The cx-scnator said Hah field also was considered as a top candidate for the vice presidency on the GOP ticket next year. Cuban Policy Hit Turning to foreign policy, Knowland attacked the Ken nedy administration for what he called it "vascillating pol icy" on Cuba. He offered a plan of action based on an in creasing squeeze on Cuba and creation of a Freedom Volun teer Corps to be used as a last resort in freeing the island. He said the United Nations had refused to act against Chinese Communist "volun teers" in Korea and could not very well act against "volun teers'' sent to free Cuba. Insurance . . Fred R.
