NEW YORK (DP) If "The Per.

pretty housewife mired in dis

Myrt Expected
To Try $64,000
NEW YORK (UP) Mrs. Myrtle
Power, baseball's ' new Georgia
peach, untangled herself from half
a dozen good luck charms today
and Indicated she would shoot for
pennant money on TV's "The 64,-
000 question."
, Myrt, bolstered by a four-leaf
clover, an Indian head penny, a
turkey wishbone, an Oriental sta
tuette, a lucky necklace and a jade
ring, reached the 133,000 level on
the giveaway show by swatting her
way through a baseball query.
Next week, the bouncy -70-year-
oldster, from Buford. Ga . can re
tire with her winnings or' try to
aouDie tnem. , ,
But Myrt left little doubt:. she
would go all the way.
She revealed that she already
was casting around for an expert
to bring to the CBS-TV program
next Tuesday. Under the rules of
the show, Myrt can tote in a help

Dig question.
Myrt wore her lucky dress.
black silk number, for the third
time on the show. .She said she
would wear it again next week.
"A ballplayer doesn't change his
underwear during a winning
streak," explained Myrt, i"So I'm
not gome to change my dress."
- The question pitched at her dealt
with the seven ballolavers who col
lected more than 3,000 hits during
their major league careers. Myrt
was asked to supply the six aside
from Ty Cobb, the old Georgia
peach. ;-. . . -
"Cap Anson, Trls Speaker, Hans
wagner, Eddie Collins, Nap La-
Jole," she said and then added.

a number of learned painters who
kdmit that a lot of paint has fallen
on pretty faces while the amateur
painter was learning bow.
So now we are entering a new
phase of ' do-it-yourselfism. More
people who are experts are trying
to see that homeowners have more
places to turn for help when they
get into trouble.
"First the amateur must over
come his or her reluctance to. ask
for detailed instructions," a paint
demonstrator at a new do-it-your-
a man, .especially, will lust buy a
can of -paint and walk out with it
because be is embarrassed to re
veal how little he knows."
Many people get started to the
first bloom of enthusiasm," said an
executive of a ' laminated plastic
covering manufacturer. "When the
bloom fades they find it is more 01
a lob then they thought. That is
where the . professional should be
willing to step in and help the
homeowner tuiish the loo. '
This expert said he felt that pro
fessional workers, at first inclined
to resent the surge of Interest in
learning certain building and dec
orating skills by homeowners, now
were adopting a more realistic at
titude. They realized, he said, that
do-it-yourself projects often repre
sented redecorating or building that
the homeowner never would have
started if it meant hiring a profes
sional. And an expert with a kindly
attitude could make a tidv living
completing the ambitious attempts
that go awry.
A savings bank in mldtown Man
hattan - opened a do-it-yourself
show here this week with daily
demonstrations of various projects
wallpapering, painting, making
slip covers and installing tricky
traverse curtain rods.
A well-dressed man watched in
fascination as a girl demonstrator
casually slapped a length of wall
paper on a plywood backdrop. He
wasn't a struggling young married
man trying to cut corners but a
successful vice president of a large
oommercial real estate firm who
liked to relax on weekends by dec
orating a recently bought house in
the country..
. "If that girl can do It, I guess
I1 can," he said. "And if I get a
lot of wallpaper and find I can't
do it, then I'm sure my wife can.
She s handier than I am."
Vicki Remains
In Seclusion
CHARLOTTE.- N.C. I if Vicki
the elephant could read the news
papers, she might be inclined to
show herself again to her pursuers.
Not that she wants to be recap
tured. 8ince she took off 11 days
ago from her amusement park
home, there's been no indication
she wants to leave her woodland
hideaway six miles frum downtown
Charlotte. V.t'.louu'h hunters know
generally where the 6-year-old In
dian elephant is, she hasn't shown
herself for a few day.".
Yesterday she lost a l eadline to
another runaway. A luu-pound
Hereford steer, on the wey to the
Charlotte slaughterhouse, leaped
off his truck and bolted. Policemen
on motorcycles, in patrol cars and
on foot chased the steer through
a residential area and finally shot
him down after he charged a
couple of officers.
Elephant exoert Louis Reed of
the Ringling Bros, and Barnum
and Bailey Circus think? he can
coax Vicki out li he can find her.

To Repay Bill
CHICAGO !V-Tbougb. still not
admitting he owes the government
a cent, fanner William Howard
Yearton has agreed to pay $272
principal and interest on a JO-year-old
feed and seed loan.
After a conference at the district
attorney s office last night. Year
ton, 47. of the Virgil community,
near Chicago, promised to mail
the government a certified check
today.
The government contends that
Yearton borowed $100 from the
old Farm Credit Administration
April 1. 1935.
Nettled at his refusal to pay the
$100, plus interest now figured at
$17, government attorneys a week
ago 'took him into federal court.
At that time, he denied borrow
ing the money but said he would
pay up if the disiiict attorney
could show him prool that the loan
was made to him. On- tha; condi
tion, the case was continued.
Yearton conferred last night with
Asst. U.S. Atty. Kdgar B. Elder.
After studying a folder bill of
documents, including an applica
tion with his name signed to it and
14 letters from government offi
cials demanding payment. Yearton
said okay, he'd pay.
But he still didn't admit liabil
ity. Neither, Elder said, did he
deny it this time.
