The off the cuff estimates have I varied from a million or so bucks 'to 4n million rubles, denendine on Philosophers and authors of the I the jndlviduai thinking related to Pollyanna ilk have been telling us the race for ouler spate ior years mat uie future win ue exactly what we make it. But the gentlemen in the men's clothing business meeting in convention at the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers in Chi cago recently, are apparently de termined to have some hand in the future outlook. The future, according to them, is going to be different. And, brother, look out! While browsing through an an nouncement of this meeting, the first piece of information to meet my eye was the description of the evening jacket of the future. This one was constructed of alu minum lame and came with matching cummerbund and tie. It was further fancied up with satin lapels and satin piping on the pockets. since the average man wears an evening jacket about as often as he docs mukluks, I don't sup pose this is going to pose much of a problem. . But, at least from one standpoint of view, it is somewhat disturbing to note that designers of men's clothing are following the feminine trend in dipping Into the pasty Feminine designers have at least partially succeeded in forc ing women back into clothing that makes them look as if they were wearing a poorly designed flour sack. Now the men are getting into the act by trying to revive the cape, and at the Chicago show there were all kinds of them. Short capes, long capes, medium sized capes, capes in plaids, checks and the old familiar som ber black and blue. There was also a flat black evening cap with a flaming red satin lining. Other of the sartorial savants are predicing fur trimming for men's jackets. Such as Persian lamb, raccoon, pony skin and wombat lapels. Even the all-fur coat is about to stage a come back. One advertiser recently put out a plea to the male public to "buy yourself a fur jacket , to match your wife's." The Ivy League is on the way out and shoulders will be wider, waists more emphasized (mine Is emphasized enough as it is), trous ers will come without cuffs and neckties will be even louder than they are now. ' The haberdashers don't seem to be much worried about the success of their' campaign except in one field. They are pretty shaky In their hopes of bringing back the top hat. The biggest complaint to that silken wonder seems to be that it won't fit into a modern sports car. Everybody thinks of February as the month of both Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, but it is the birthday of another celebrated object as well. February 21 marks the 18th birthday of the telephone directory. The world's first directory was on one sheet of paper headed "List of Subscribers New Haven District Telephone Company." The office was open from 6 a.m. until 2 a.m. The complete directory in eluded SO names after a start of 21 subscribers. i nis nrst directory also naa a classified section listing 11 resi dences, three physicians, two den tists, 20 stores and factories, four meat and fish markets and two hack and boarding stables. There were no numbers in the directory. Central knew everybody anyway. Fur some time now people have been coming out with predictions that the United States was headed for vegetarianism. This has been highly depressing. However, there is still hope for those of us who are living in the present age. Dr. M. R. Clarkson, who is a deputy administrator of the U.S. Agricultural Research Service, re cently told a meeting of western ' states meat packers that one hun dred years from now the steaks and chops of today will be only a memory. Tho reason, he soys, Ij that in that one hundred years the populution of the United Stales will have grown to such a point that there will not be any farm land left. At least, not enough to grow beef on. So there, if you've been worry ing about having to live on vege tables, I guess you're safe for at least another hundred vears. Wednesday evening Architect Howard Perrin spoke before the joint school budget boards and ad vised that his studies indicate that the cost for putting on the audi torium will range between $1)00, 000 and $500,000, depending on the size and type of building wanted. The costs represent the whole ball of wax . . . building costs, architect's fees, and furnishing costs. The $800,001) and $700,000 estimates would provide for an auditorium with a 2.2(H) sealing ca pacity, and the $roo.ouo and $500, 000 estimates would provide for a 1,500 seating capacity. There are two figures for each building size, depending on the type of struc ture wanted. The south wing addition to which the auditorium would be added is now nearing completior and is expected to be occupied sometime during March. Tabulated costs in dicate that the wing will have cost approximately $750,000 when fin ished. Again, that cost figure is an approximate total, including build ing costs, architect's fees and furnishings. The cost of the overall project, including the south wing addition and the auditorium, will now de pend on what the school boards elect to do. If they accept the low auditorium estimate and contract on that basis, the cost of the en tire unit would approximate $1,250,- 000. If they elect to go first cab in and contract on the maximum auditorium estimate, the cost of the entire project would approxi mate $1,550,000. The boards have not yet indi cated what course will be taken. They are also considering a third possibility if the available serial levy funds during the next four years are not sufficient for audi torium construction. With a small balance on hand, the existing se rial levy monies approximate half a million dollars. Should that amount not prove sufficient, and should the boards elect not to raise additional mon ies, for the auditorium construc tion, there is a possibility that they may divert the upcoming $4(10.000 serial levy money Into building modifications to create more class rooms, and into the construction of a new field house. lunar Baedecker for the barefoot scholar, I learned: The Moon is no place for insom niacs. The nights there are two weeks long. So are the days. The Moon is no place for music lovers. Because it has no atmos phere, you can't hear a sound of any kind. (In one way this is an advantage. You could sit three feet from a rock 'n' roll band and not even be aware it was playing.) The Moon is no place for people who like to keep their feet on the ground. Because its gravitational pull is only one sixth that of the earth, you'd have trouble avoiding floating every time you went for a walk. The Moon is no place for claus trophobes. It has no air, and the sky is black. The Moon is no place for people who like cold weather. During the day it is so hot that you could fry an egg in your hand. You'd fry, too. The Moon is no place, for people who like hot weather. At night it is so cold your body would freeze solid. The Moon is no place for people who like to garden. It has no soil just endless rocks. The Moon is no place for people who like to drink highballs. It has no water nut even enough for a chaser. The Moon Is no place for ro mantic people who love to look up at the twinkling stars. Seen from the Moon, the stars don't twinkle just burn. And the earth looks like a big blob of eerie blur inn. When you get right down to it, the Moon simply is no place for ordinary people at all. The next time you get a chance, take a good long look at the man in the Moon. Do you think he's smiling? He isn't. It's an optical illusion. Actually, his mouth is wide open and he's crying, "Help!"

Well, If you have, now is a good ""'finetic field which the electric For lrivirN By JIM KLOCKENKEMPER United Press Automotive Editor The scientist who directed de velopment of the first full-size self-guiding car says It's only the beginning. Dr. Lawrence Hafstad, who heads the technical research cen ter for the nation's biggest auto firm (General Motors), visualizes a future highway system which controls cars and signals drivers. The present self-guiding car will follow a low-power, low-frequency wire which is buried in the high way. Two coils are fastened to the front bumper and these pick up the to stop the car, slow it down speed it up and guide it can also be invented. The trouble is no elec tronic brain can duplicate a hu man driver in making decisions. Hafstad believes road builders should start now by laying wires in the roadway which can be used in the future. He sees these wires being used not only to send up a car control signal for guid ance, but a number of warning and information signals to the driver. naisiaa says one of the wires could be a broadcasting antenna to the driver s instrument panel. It could set off noise signals which would tell him if he was going too fast. Another signal could tell the driver whether or not he had room to pass the car ahead. The driver could even receive infor mation about the number of cars or amount of traffic he could ex pert ahead of him. Another warning . device could rouse the driver if he had fallen asleep or if he was holding to a straight course. Hafstad believes drivers have too difficult a time now reading the road signs, the speedometer and a bunch of vari-colored lights on a strange highway. So, says Dr. Hafstad, the thing to do bring the signals from the highway inside the car to the driver. feroSSw STUDIO 1 jLLiL nrrl'l li His F,SH &k 1jL V Minimum 3 HOIE 4-4MI j V3.! time to break open your dil'Kv bank and spend the money on the nearest blonde. You'll have more fun. Like millions of red-blooded Americans I, too, was eager to make a pioneer voyage to the Moon. I was, that is, until I did a little research on the earth's only original, or pre-Russinn Moon. Although I consulted such stand ard works as the Encyclopedia Britannica, 1 found their articles on the Moon a bit too advanced for a mere tourist. After all, who knows what a synodic month is? Or a drnconic month? And whnt does It mean to you to be told that wire creates. The signals from these coils go to an electronic computer which figures out the steering moves necessary to keep the car centered over the wire. The computer's orders go through an electric-hydraulic system which actually turns the wheels. Dr. Hafstad believes this guid ance control system could actually be used now on a highway with nn "automatic lane" for cars trav eling at set speeds. Hafstad and engineering mechanics research chief Joseph Bidwell say it would be a fairly simple matter to con trol speeds.

MARDER United Press Ezra Benson is in troubled po litical water ... so deep and so hot a lesser man would have been scalded out of the cabinet long since. This is not the fy-st attempt to get rid of the secretary of agri culture, among the most unpopu lar cabinet officials with his own party since Henry Wallace. And even Wallace had a hand ful of out-spoken, very loyal fol lowers in Congress. tun mere are lew, it any, even within the Republican membership in Congress, to speak out in strong support of Benson. The drive to oust Benson originates within the GOP, gleefully assisted, of course by Democrats. ' But the driving force for the Dump-Benson move now bears an unquestioned Repub hcan label. Other cabinet officials, in other administrations, also have ranked high in unpopularity contests with in congress. Notable, in recent years, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson and one-time Sec retary of Agriculture Charles Bran nan. uut Democrats didn t organize delegations to plot the removal of Acheson or Brannan in the man ner that Republicans are now go ing after Benson. During last summer, there were reports, apparently well-founded, of a GOP strategy to get rid of Benson. The reports had it that the strategy was worked out by a top Republican in Congress. The plan was to have Benson of fered the presidency of a large university, a post' which, it was hoped, would be attractive to the temperament and background of the agriculture secretary. At the same time, the White House would be asked not to put up any bar riers ii uenson indicated in any way he might accept. The strategy never got started because Benson called an extra ordinary press conference to an nounce he was staying on, come what may, short of a presidential request to get out. The Dump-Benson mote is now going straight to the White House on the basis that the agriculture secretary is a millstone which will carry the GOP lo a political grave in the November elections, and possibly the I960 presidential elec tions too. It is no longer a question of farm policies, pro and con. The issue is Benson as a svmbol which arouses farmers to vote against the GOP. The Republican politicians will have plenty of proof from recent elections to support thai argument. The latest came from the special election to fill a congressional seat in Minnesota where the Republican candidate squeaked through in a district which hadn't gone Democratic this century. There seems lo he no question that farmer rebellion against Ben son was responsible for the close ness of the race. The Republican lawmakers out it as diplomatically and politely as possible to Benson to quit for the good of the party. Benson re fused, insisting his lovaltv is to the farmers, and ih:ii a th. hul kind of politics. 1 Grand Jury To Study Many Cases The Klamath County Grand Jury jail.
