Too MUlc?
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.

Raising puppies to become see

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.

"The theater today is wide
open," said Audrey Wood, one of
the nation's top theatrical agents
"There's a tremendous need for
new talent. 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.

year they were reporting losses
because of tight money.
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.

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

Fraoce be had it not been for
him?
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-

his complete authority over the
