MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDKlAiD, (fcCCI WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3D. 1983 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- 'C'ORMER Mayor John F. Hylan suffered a minor debacle the day he delivered a speech that he had not bothered to read over in advance. Along about Page Five he came to one phrase that read, "This reminds me of my favorite story about a traveling- salesman." It developed that the Mayor had never heard the joke before, and he laughed so hard his glass es fell off and smashed on the floor. The chair man of the dinner fin ished the speech for him. Pierre Boule, the man who wrote "Bridge on the River Kwal," has jut had a new book published in France called "The Planet of the Monkeys," which will be put on me presses In America as soon as it is translated. Boule's new story is a shocker. The time is several hundred years hence and mankind has retrogressed to the pithecanthropoid stage a creature with no brains to speak of, orating from instinct. The monkeys, meanwhile, have become so smart from imitating: hu mans and playing- parts in innumerable experiments that they now run the works. They have put the men into cages, and it's the monkeys who are conducting' the experiments on humans. Pretty prospect to contemplate! O 1963, by Bennett Cert.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (UPI) An era of Hollywood glamour was at an end today with the death of Adolph Men jou, dapper leading man of he 1930s and a movie star for more than 40 years.

Born Feb. 18. 1890, in Pitts burgh, Pa., Menjou became Hollywood's image of Parisian sophistication and was known to millions of movie fans as the mustachioed star whose "uni form" was white tie and tails. Among notable exceptions to this image of the immaculate sophisticate were his roles as the hard -bitten city editor of "The Front Page" in 1931 and the sad-eyed horse bookie op posite Shirley Temple in Damon Runyon's "Little Miss Marker" in 1934. His more recent roles includ ed the movie "Pollyanna" in 1960 and narration of the tele vision series "My Favorite Story" in the mid-1950's. Movie Debut Menjou's acting career began when he joined a stock com pany in Cleveland, Ohio, after graduating from Cornell Univer sity in 1912. He made his movie debut that same year with the old Vitagraph Company in New York, later went into Vaudeville and then returned to movies. He became a full-fledged Hol lywood star in 1923, when he made such films as "The Three Musketeers" with Douglas Fair banks; "The Sheik" with Ru dolph Valentino; and "Woman of Paris" with Charlie Chaplin. Married to Miss Teasdale in 1934. he was previously wed to Katharine Tinsley and then to actress Katheryn Carver. The star figured prominently How to get ready for a happy retirement 1.

LOCKER BEEF SPECIAL (Q) C 12 or Whole 2y lb Cut 4nl Wrapped Free CHRYSTAL MEAT MARKET 4th and Fir 772-7315 T tf JV7 xw ' ft Cj Soviet Wheat Sale May Cause Shortage PORTLAND (UPI) -If the government carries through with its plan to sell wheat to Russia, a railroad freight car shortage is likely to get worse, Robert S. Macfarlane, president of Northern Pacific Railway said Tuesday. Macfarlane, in Portland on an inspection trip, said the Cana dian wheat deal with Russia and talk about a similar American deal has caused the market price for wheat to climb above support prices. He said the result has been that farmers decided to sell their wheat which was thrown on the market at a time when the peak movement of sorghum and soybeans was under way. He said the present embargo to Pacific Northwest ports is considered unfair by the rail roads and they are trying to get it lifted. He said, however, there were still between 3,000 and 4,000 carloads of grain on sidings in the Northwest waiting for unloading. Extradition Slated In Counterteit Case PORTLAND, Ore.
