By BILL JENKINS It is difficult to say right now whether yesterday's announcement of an electronic brain is too little too late or too much too soon. I am inclined to believe it is a little of both. Rut in either case the prospect is horrid. As far as the salvation of man kind is concerned it is probably a case of too little too late. The skids of destruction have been too well greased by the intended vie tims for the human race lo have much time left. On the other hand, as far as man's ability to make wise use of modern inventions it is prob ably a case of too much too soon 1 am sadly afraid that like the alnm bomb the potential of the electronic brain will be directed in the main toward warfare and destruction rather than the better ment of man. Oh well. Such is life. After all, fatalism is the only escape hatch man has left himself. Frank Fleet called in yesterday with a new meanest man story. Seems that over the holidays he heard a knock at the door and answered to find the traditional bum standing there asking a hand out. In the best tradition oi the storytellers art Frank directed the man around lo the back and there fed him, taking lime nut from his duties as family barbecue chef to do so. When the fellow had satisfied his hunger and taken his weary way down the road Frank got to look ing around and discovered that the succulent cuts of meat he was pre paring for the barbecue were also missing. A fine way to repay hospitality. Seems that justice was not so blind in this case, however, and the culprit was soon laid low by the local arm of the law and a tip from Mr. Fleet. Facts and ligures department: One out of every 1(1 cars in the United States is in California. Aft er driving their highways down there one can well helievo it. Furthermore: one out of every 14 cars in the world is in Cali fornia and there are more auto mobiles in Los Angeles County than in any of 41 states in the union. Caljfornians operate these numerous vehicles on four percent of the nation's highways. Strange things are always go ing on in New Pine Creek and a shipment through the post ofliee in that village the othea day didn't lower the average any. Carmen Fleming was the recip ient of 150,000 lady bugs via the U S. mails.

Either way. his two weeks are quickly gone and he's mighty glad to get hack to Ihe old familiar routine, lie no longer thinks he's overworked after having broken his hack and his patience for two weeks trying to accomplish the im possible. One other big blessing Ihal ac crues to Ihe employer inslead ol the employe on vacations is thai It brings the employe hack into his or her proper perspective. Sometimes a person reaches the point where he convinces himself that he's indispensable, that the place simply couldn't operate w ilh out him. He's dumhlounded soiimM lines to find Ihal somehow things kept right on rolling without him. As far as the employer is concerned, that cuts the employe back lo sie. and makes him easier lo woik with all the way arouid when he gels back on the job. Oh, il l nol all one-sided by anv means.

I'm talking from first-hand ex perience, also, having just relumed from two weeks of what I now jokingly term a "vacation." But, having visited family in Brcmerlon and Fcrndale, Washing ton, and assuring myself that all was right with them, and having spent portions of last week hauling rocks and building a wall, and do ing some painting and repair jobs, I m ready to get back on the job so I can rest up. Despite all the bruises, aches and battered thumbs, 50 weeks from now, I'll be all set to do it over again, I guess. Bight now, though, I just want to rest. I'rojM's By FLORENCE JENKINS Raising puppies to become see ing eye dogs for Guide Dogs for the' Blind, Inc., has become project for 4-H Club groups else where in Oregon. So far, accord ing to the 4-11 Club office here no 4-H group has undertaken the project, but some interest has been shown and it is a future possibil ity under the program. Approximately ion boys and girls of 4-H clubs in Oregon and Cali fornia are expected lo attend the 4-H annual field day celebration at San Rafael on Thursday, Au gust 7. They will enroll their adopted" puppies in the obedience and conformation trials on the 114 acre tract of the famous training center. Dogs will he judged according to both their breed and Guide Dog standards with ribbons and trophies for the winners. This event has been held each August lor the last tour years' Families and friends of the 4-H Club members are welcome to at tend and preparation is being made for 500 guests. According to Guide Dogs for the Blind. Inc., the 4-H Club partici pation has proved to be very val uable. Kxperience has shown that pups need the vJnrmth and affec tion of family life if they arc lo develop Uk character so necessary in a Guide Dig. At the age of six weeks, pups are put through a ae ries of aptitude and intelligence tests to show whether not the IKvtpft have the willingne.fs and ability lo lake on a life- of service. The pups wha fail to pass are given away. TBose who pass are pfciccd in foslc homes, usually wilh 4-11 youngslers. There they am the simple commands of "S 1 1," Fetch."

If you have any kind of talent at all, it sticks out it cries out to be helped. "But a play has to be good to succeed now. There is room only for quality now." Miss Wood, who looks like a perky, blue-eyed, auburn-haired visiting schoolteacher, is littli known to the playgoing public. But she is a real power in the theater. She has helped put be tween 80 and 100 plays on the boards here, including some of the most famous of the last gen eration. For 17 years Miss Wood and her husband, Bill Liebling, ran their own theatrical talent agency Four years ago they sold out to the giant Music Corp. of America agency, which promptly found out it needed Miss Wood to handle the talent it had acquired. Broadway gossip is that MCA paid half a million dollars for the Liebling agency, still pays Miss Wood about $1,000 a week for her services. She represents such playwrights as Tennessee Williams, William Inge, Robert Anderson, Carson Kanin and Dorothy and Dubose Hayward. Among other theater celebrities she serves as agent are Shirley Booth, Leslie Caron, Siobhan Mc Kenna, Michael Redgrave and Ben Gazzara. , Her grealcsl joy is to take a young unknown playwright and help guide him. to the malurity of his powers, as she did with Wil liams. "The relation between a wriler and his representative is as in timate as marriage," she re marked. "Each relies com pletely in the other's honesly, en deavor and integrity. It is a day-to-day devotional work that is im possible without mutual respect and trust." Miss Wood said that Ihe chief art" of her job consists in getting "the right play to the right pro ducers at the right moment," and added: 'Very often a wriler doesn't come in wilh a play. He comes in wilh two thirds of a play. You have to have valid critical ability, and he bas to he willing to listen to your suggestions. One of alhc great jieerfs of the theater ' today, she believes, is some way to endow talented young playwrighte to keep them afloat during the struggling period when they are mastering their crutt. 'A real writer tsn't ruined by hele," she said firmly. ?J6iovJirtWajr By SAM DAWSCW AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Easy money and the industrial slump are slow ing down Ihe rale of gain in net operating earnings of hanks in many parls of the' nation.

Net operating earnings are what a bank makes on its interest from loans and interest from, securities after deducting what it pays out in interest on deposits and in the labor and other costs of serving the depositors and borrowers, aod after paying income taxes. Profit on securities comes when their prices rise and the bank is able to sell them for more than it paid for them. Easy money in the first half of 1958 has done this by lowering the yield on government securites which means their market price has risen although their interest rates are fixed and unchanged. Tight money in the first half of 1957 was sending interest rates up. and hence the price of bonds down. So when a bank sold bonds to get money to lend lo insistent customers it usually did so at a loss. Example: Chase Manhattan Bank, New York's largest in re sources and deposits, reports a securities gain in the first six months of this year of $20,938,218, compared with a loss in the first half of 1957 of $4,183,867. This profit came within speak ing distance of what Chase Man hattan made on its net operating earnings, which came to $28,176, 733, a gain of 5.3 per cent over last year's $26,764,958. The gain of the 1957 first half over 1856 had been 17 per cent. I"w York's second largest bank. First National City, shows this year's profits from securities as $1,770,000, compared wilh a loss of $981,000 in the first half of 1957, and of $4,397,000 in. the first six months of 1956. J. P. Morgan & Co. reports a securities profits of $2,174,000 this year compared wilh a loss of $190,778 in the previous year. The slowdown in the rise of op- crating earnings and in some cases a decline reflects the Fed eral Reserve Board's easy money policy this year as a recession remedy. This is because the great er supply of money has led to a softening of interest that banks charge borrowers. Coupled with this has been the decline in the demand of business men for loais. They have required less bank help in carrying inven laries, which they were paring, or in financing new plants and equip ment. Bank costs have stayad high. Labor charges are as high as ever. And in the era of tight money the banks raised the inter est rates they'd pay depositors be cause they needed more finals to lend. They talk about cutting these deposit and savings interest rales now, but in mast cases are still paying them.

There are two Paget's diseases which are tolallp unrelated. One is an inflammoory cancerous con dition involving the area of the nipple. The other is a hone dis order, belter called osteitis defor mans. The treatment for the first is usually surgical. The second, or ro'citis deform ans, is a chronic discase involvinc the skeleton of grownups and char aclerized. hy changes both in the long bones, such as those in the leg, and Ihe flat bones, such as those in Ihe skull. The cause is poorly understood. Ihogh Ihe possibly that it is re lated to the circulation has been suggested. One symptoms vary from person to person, and in about one-quarter d those afflicted the symptoms and signs are virtual! absent. There is no specilic treatment, though (he administration of a diet containing calcium, phosphorus and a large number of vitamins is gen erally ordered.

Fisct Rant i ii ji iiuiin Miiiuiltj n villi Powers Is De Gaulle Aim By CHARLES M. McCANX V'PI Foreign News Analyst Premier Charles de Gaulle has made it plain that his supreme aim is to restore France to the first rank among world powers. He wants to end the Algerian rebellion, which has bled France for nearly four years. He wants to establish firm friendly relations wilh France's former protectorates of Tunisia and Morocco, adjoining Algeria on the east and west. He wants to fix the future of France's remaining African pos sessions, above all in the Sahara Desert region where exploitation of vast natural resources is just starting. He wants' to give France a strong government and to end for good the succession of cabinet crises which along with the Alger ian and Indochinese upheavals have weakened France's world position. De Gaulle's weekend confer ence wilh Secretary of Slate John Foster Dulles was a success. Dejparently succeeded, in his visit to Gaulle and Dulles agreed almost completely on every phase of Al lied policy. But on one thing De Gaulle was adamant. He is determined lo make France the world's fourth atomic power believing, as does pretty nearly everybody else, that in these days only a country which possesses nuclear weapons can claim to be of firsl rank. The United States and Great Britain are strongly opposed to this aim. This is due primarily to the in creasing urgency attached to the necessity of reaching an agree ment wilh liussia first to suspend nuclear weapons tests under prop er safeguards against cheating and secondly lo stop the produc tion of such weapons. It is felt that France's entrance to Ihe weapons race would im pede agreement. But De Gaulle can hardly be mn SCOOTS F0H 50,000 ...Mi.i..,.n."

When World War II started. France waS supposed to have the best army in the world. It col lapsed utterly before Nazi Ger many's blitzkrieg attack. De Gaulle was the sole symbol of French resistance when he went to Britain, announced in' a historic broadcast that France had lost a battle and not a war, and organized Free France. lie returned home in triumph when the allied armies started driving the Germans nut of the country. He assumed leadership, onlh to retire in disgust because of political bickering. Year by year, he watched France's pres tige tarnish until, five weeks ago, he was recalled lo power. De Gaulle has made a striking success so far. The loud Commu nist threats of revolution have proved empty. The French peo ple have accepted him. He an- Algeria last week, in asserting his complete authority over the right-wing extremists and army career men whose revolt put him in power. He has won Allied ap proval by his moderation. But it is evident he will not be happy until France has regained its historic glory. HANDS OFF COPENHAGEN (liPI)-I. B.
