WYNNE Occasionally the grim flow of everyday newa get even grimmer One tuch occasion was empha sized recently in a letter received from a resident of the Klamath Basin. Writing from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, the sub scriber enclosed a clipping of a story in Elizabeth, New jersey, a story that certainly is worthy ot repeating. The letter, written in childish scrawl was addressed "To God In Heven." It read: "Dear God, I know you are busy, but please will you make mommy well again. Daddy says that you make take mommy to. Heven to be with you. I love you but 1 want my mommy to stay here wilh me. You can have any of my t;; s. Daddy needs mommy two. I will say my prayers every day. Postmaster William Runyon at Elizabeth opened the letter. There was no signature.

By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (API Keep this under your hat, fellows, but if you're going bald, Louis Feder may have just the thing for you It's "the air-conditioned hair piece," which weighs less than an ounce and Is guaranteed to be hurricane proof. "It's o light it brealhes. ..abso lutely no feeling on the head," said Ben Kaplan, executive vice president of the House of Louis Feder. "And please don't refer to It as a wig or toupee. Those terms are anathema in our in dustry. It Is a hairpiece." Feder, a pioneer human scalp roofer since he emigrated here from Austria half a century ago, startled the industry with a new crew cut model hairpiece several years ago. Sales zoomed 700 pet cent as baldies rushed to get an Ivy League look. The new air-conditioned special. Feder feels, may be his ullimate masterpiece. It is held firmly to the scalp by two small patches of tape, one fore, one aft. "The wind can't get up under It and blow it off," explained Kap lan, a former Air Force major, and added: "I flight tested It myself on the deck of a ship during a violent storm, which was darn near a hurricane. Later,, I also tested it by diving headlong Into the high est ocean breakers I could find." In both tests, he said, the air conditioned hairpiece clung to mm with the loyally of a poor relative. "Television comedians are al ways making jokes about hair pieces falling off," he said "But they don't. I've been wear ing one for eight years, and mine las never fallen off." Kaplan can put on his hairpiece and peel it off in 33 seconds. He doesn't know whether this Is a record, as there have been two international contesls in this field. Surveys have shown 8 of 10 American men are affected to some extent by baldness. Approx lmateiy 250,000 males now wear hairpieces. "They range In age from 3 lo M, haplan said. "Many people nave the idea that only profes sional entertainers wear hair pieces. Actually, I doubt If one in a thousand is a performer. "They come from all fields They include ministers, salesmen, business executives, students even a steeplejack. Most of them aren t older men either. About ?R per cent of our customers are under 35. "One of the nice things about the haspiece industry Is fhat it seems recession - proof. In bad times many men feel it is easier for them to find work It they look younger. Some ien who have lost their jobs use part of their un employment benefits to Invest in a hairpiece." Hairpieces (or men far antedate falsies for women. "They were first worn, so far as we can find, by Egyptian Phar aohs more than 5,000 years aco." Kaplan said. "George Washington wore a hairpiece. So did our nOi three presidents." His most unusual client was a man who made his living being fired out of a circus cannon. e "Certainly he wore his hairpiece while performing his act." aid Kaplan. "Why not?" And the most unusual request ill firm has had? "Well," said Kaplan. "There fas that fellow who warned us e make him a hairpiece to wear 4t hii chest." I a using Children By DON MARTIN United Press International Having trouble naming your child-to-be? Take a tip from Mr. and Mrs Allen Bowlin of Boniflay, Florida, whose 13 children sound like alpha bet soup. In fact, the Bowlins have named their children in chronolog ical order just to make up an alphabet of their own. Here we go. there's Audie Bry ant, Curtis Drue, Ehra Faye, Grady Hampton, Ida Jeannette, Knola Leantha, Millard Nathan, Olivia Penelopy, Quincy Ruth, Sar ah Thelma, Ulisese Vinson, Wilson Xava, and you guessed it, Yon Zircle. The children's ages range from 29 to 57. Believe It or not, the system started out accidentally. "We did not mean to go down the list that way," says Bowlin. "But the wife and I noticed we had done it with the first two, so we named the rest in the same order." Bowlin and his wife had quite a struggle thinking up the names especially since no duplication of Initials was allowed. "I know another man who filled up the alphabet," says Poppa Bow lin, "But he had more than 13 children and had to double back. To make matters more confusing around the Bowlin home . daughters Quincy Ruth and Sarah Thelma married twin brothers, both of whom live in Boniflay. Bowlin and his wife, now 83 and 73 respectively, admit they have a bit of trouble keeping up with 13 children, 37 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. "I still find lime to write them letters," sighs Poppa Bowlin, "but I just can't think of things to write about now." By JACK BENNY NEW YORK (AP) - Having been asked to do a guest column. I decided to write about a subject which has always appealed to me from an academic sense of course money! Wilh the hammer ring upon the lirst coinage die, man's load life became lighter. In his pocket he could carry enough money lo purchase things which prior to money s invention would have cost him perhaps 14 stone of watermelon, an unwieldy burden at best. However, this hammer ring created a number of problems. The first was the problem of ob taining money. Second, and I'm not sure that's a proper place ment, is Hie problem of keeping it. Along these lines I have formed a certain set of operating pro cedures which I will be happy to pass along. Capricious buying should be avoided at all you'll pardon the expression cost Never, in a weak moment, allow yourself to purchase something on a whim. This may prove difficult for the neophyte as all the guile and craftiness of merchants Is di rected to such weak willed persons. Signs and advertisements drip with sentimental suggestions like "Buy your sweetheart a box of Goodie Chocolate." A nice card and a candy bar will serve Just as well. After all, it's not the money, but the thought which counts, and a card and a candy bar make you properly sen timental without overdoing It. Never pick up luncheon or din ner checks at a restaurant, club or night spot. Once I picked up a check out of simple curiosity. I had no intention of paying it, but by the time I had added the fig ures, everyone had gone and I had to pay or wash dishes. Now from time to time, even if you follow the above advice, someone will push a check toward you. At this point you have several possible courses of action Providing you haven't drunk your glass of water you can knock it over, and in attempting to dry out the tablecloth, once again push the check across the table. Or suddenly remembering you must make a phone call can ex tricate you from such a position, as can a sudden desire for cigar ettes, a newspaper, or a just remembered appointment. I would like to make it perfectly clear that I am not cheap. It's just that I detest ostentation in anyone, particularly myself. Check grabbers are such show- offs. Exninplu By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Eisenhower himself has set an example for Sherman Adams and all other government employ es in accepting gifts. He has re ceived for his personal use gifts totaling thousands of dollars. He tried, in his news conference last week, to say when it is and isn't all right for a man in public office to accept gifts. The line he drew was far from sharp or dis tinct. Maybe such a line can't be drawn. But because it hasn't been drawn both Eisenhower and Adams, his chief assistant, find themselves in contradictory positions. If a clear line can't be drawn it would seem any man in public office should lean over backwards way over backwards to avoid doing anything which might em barrass him or the government or cause suspicion. This is what Eisenhower said: "The circumstances surrounding the Innocent receipt by a public official of any gilts are therefore important, so that the public may clearly distinguish between inno cent and guilty action. Among these circumstances are the character and reputation of the Individual, the record of his subsequent actions, and evi dence of intent or lack of intent to exert undue influence." But this explanation overlooks some very human and subtle questions: 1. Would a man In public office, intentionally or not, be more favorably inclined to do something or decide something Or use his in fltience for a person who gives him something than for one who doesn t? 2. Should a man in public office lor fear of appearing to return a favor let himself be in the posi tion of refusing to do for an indi vidual who gave him a gift some thing he'd freely do for a stranger? A man in public office could easily avoid both dilemmas dilemmas wilh which he should never have to be confronted by refusing gifts from anyone who has or might have any business with the government. When Bernard Goldfine. Adams' gift-giving friend, a businessman, got into trouble with a federal agency, he went lo Adams in the While House to find out why Adams got the information for him. information which a House subcommittee lawyer said It was against the law to reveal. Then Adams offered this con tradictory explanation of his con duct : He said what he did for Gold- fine getting the information from the agency was the kind of routing thing he or his staff would do for anyone who came to him But at the same time he conceded maybe his judgment was bad. Several years ago Eisenhower said: "I can't believe anybody on my staff would ever be guilty of an indiscretion. But if anything came to my attention of that kind . . . that individual would be gone." At his news conference Eisen hower, while describing Adams as "imprudent," announced at the same time he would keep him be cause "I need him." Eisenhower certainly has need ed Adams. It's because of Adams' long and dedicated hours at his desk taking a lot of the load off Eisenhower that Eisenhower has had so 'much time to himself, in cluding time for golf. Pogo V.WAJMT TMl Ml do.

And old terms for a slack in business activity are cast off as too harsh or utsetting. Bottoming out is the most popu lar of today's catch-all phrases levelling off having been the euphemism used last year when the boom fizzled. Grandfather may have talked a'ocut a panic which today's un pleasantness cert; inly isn't and Father lived Intimately with a de pression which by strict defini tion this on.1 isn't either.

And inventory ' adjustment did for broader dips in the economy, such as the two before this one. Total employment, wage-price spira's, jobless pay, built in cush ions and escalators all are part of the postwar jargon of manage ment, labor, economists and con sumers. Economists see fine shades of meaning in all these terms. But most citizens just know that busi ness is brisk or slow, jobs easy or hbtd to find. Just as they as sociate inilation with only one thing n'giier prices for what they buy, ho natter what may have caused it. The old fnsn oned panic usually started with hank failures and Loud bursting of stock market balloons. There's nothing like that today. A depression according to the dictionary of economics by Harold S. Sloan and Arnold J. Zurcher is "a period of low business activi ty when prices are low, purchas ing power sharply curtailed, and unemployment high." The current dip has a loig way to slip before getting Into thf.t class, In spite of the distressing total of the jobless. A recession is defined as muo taper.ng off of economic activity, not sufficient to mark a major phase 0! a business cycle.' Many ecoi.onvsts tag today's state of business with that handle, al though they concede that only some businesses are affected and in large sec'.cns of the nation you can scarcely find a trace of an over-all slowdown. And that stjle of affairs is what few years back was called rolling readjustment, meaning that only part of the economy was down at any one time while others went zooming along waiting their turn This time the slump another catch phase not because it takes up levs type space then re cession is too wide spread throush the durable goods indus trie and too reep to be dismissed as roiling.

Waterfront Rumor Of Plot Against Truio Yacht Proves Baseless By I'nited Press International MOSCOW-The newspaper Kom solskaya Pravda. official Soviet youth organ, on the arrest of Rus sia's lop soccer player on rape charges: "Drunk as usual, he perpetrated a grave criminal act and will soon appear In court as a hooligan and rapist." LOS ANGELES (UPD-Lt. fien Rafael Trujillo Jr.'s personal man of war." the luxury vacht Angelita, floated peacefully at dockside today and a search for a bomb didn't stop the social life aDoara. Police demolition experts, fire men and coast guardsmen scoured the 350-foot four-master Sunday following a "sea story" hatched along the waterfront that a bomb had been planted in or near the ship. A 12-piece band, made up of crew members, played on as offi cers searched the ship and in spected pilings of the nearby wharf for the bomb. Guests, including actress Zsa Zsa Gabor and her former hus band, George Sanders, danced to Latin rhythms or sunned them selves on the poop deck as the search went on. Four hours later, the searchers had decided there was no "infern al machine" aboard the luxury craft, brought here to take 29-year-old Trujillo home to the Dom inican Republic, and were looking for the longshoremen who report ed the "plot." Police Sgt. C. A. Baldridge of the Los Angeles Police Harbor Di vision said a man, who may have been four sheets to the wind, came to the police station and reported the "bomb" in the afternoon. "He told me some drinking bud dies told him that a small bomb had been placed near the vessel, not to kill anybody, but to scare hell out of them," the sergeant quoted the informant. "This guy walked out of the sta tion when I left him to start checking and if we can find him there's a possibility of a false re port charge against him." Fire Chief A. W. MacDougall had another kind of trouble. Crew men guarding the gate to the dock wouldn't let him on the ship. He complained: "They wouldn't let anybody in. I was standing there with a Coast Guard officer, and fhey wouldn't let him in, either. I don't know what the hell was the matter. So I sent a small boat for the police officers to check under the wharf. What if they had a fire on board?" Port authorities offered a new wharf for the Angelita to tie up to just in case there was a bomb, but the officer in charop of lhi .ship refused to move. Toylor's Accounting Service Opm 9 ft.m.
