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!

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.
Menjou, an outspoken leader
of Hollywood anti - communism
who was prominent in conser
vative politics, succumbed Tues
day at the age of 73.
He had been ill for nine
months, suffering from chemi
cal jaundice.
Funeral services are sched
uled this Friday at the All
Saints Episcopal Church, to be
followed by private interment
at Hollywood Memorial Park.
The actor's wife, former act
ress Veree Teasdale, and an
adopted son, Peter, were with
the actor when death came.
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.

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.

Health Officer Richard Wilcox

rector of administrative serv
ices, two public health engi
neers, two chemists, an instru
