This is not unusual and, in fact, I am acquiring a certain taste for shoe leather. The latest bolt occurred in Sun day's magazine section wherein 1 referred to the owner of a cruis er being launched pictorially in the lake as being Louis Kalina. Mr. Kalina assures me that the cruiser in question is not his. Here is how it came about: When the picture came across my desk for processing I cried out in a great voice saying "whose boat is this?" An equally great voice (it was Kettlcr's but I'm not going to say so as I intend to shoulder the whole blame for this reprehensible mishap myself) boomed out of the murky depths of the newsroom saying "Kalina." And that; honest, is just how it happened. For which I am very sorry. But I have learned two things: It wasn't Louis Kalina's boat, and, two, never trust voices booming back at you Irom the newsroom. Another rugged individualist has bit the dust. Weep a tear for Lomic Puckel. who tried to buck the path of pro gress but knuckled under to skull duggery, heavy equipment and the public assumption that the stale is always right. It all started, as so many of these affairs do. over a new Los Angeles freeway. One of the mis erable abominations concocted In the twisted minds of highway en gineers to get more cars into less space so more people can be ex posed to monoxide poisoning. - Anyway, the state olfered Mrs. P u c k e t less money than she thought the place was worth. She held out for more. The slate turned a cold shoulder (they have no other kind) and there the mat ter rested until the heavy equip ment showed up. Lomic Pucket appeared on the porch armed with a thutty-thutty and grim-lipped smile. Sheriff's deputies took a look and prudently hauled off. It wasn't until a couple of plain- clothesmen (dicks to you) sneaked in under false colors and dis armed the old lady (she is 51 which isn't really old, but It makes a better story) that work proceed ed. The state graciously allowed Mrs. Pucket to sit in her car near by and watch while a mammoth bulldozer made dust and splinters of the place. Right nice of 'cm. I wonder how much longer this business of condemnation of good property is going to go on in the guise of progress? Arc wo all go ing to have to live in constant fear of our property being taken away becauso Uncle Sam wants a new cannon range or because the Detroit-born monsters have to have more room in which to foul the atmosphere? Sometimes I think we lost a lot in this country when we used up all the frontier country a man used to be able to move into when he got disgusted. Nowadays if you move to the frontier you get heaved in the pok ey for trespassing on a missile range. And if you stay home they build a highway through your living room. You can't win. Rut Grandma Pucket tried, God bless her. have been written across the face of noncourt cards since the days of Lord Geoffrey Amherst back in Colonial days. It seems that the idea was especially popular for Valentines Day when the heart suit could be used. More utilitarian are the asso ciation's suggestions for using old cards for a neat paint job when working on small window panes or sashes, or using them as markers in the soil when gardening. Many of the suggestions sound pretty busy, such as constructing a fairly complicated card mobile to hang in the game room, using cards to decorate an old screen to set off the card corner of the play room or embellishing table or tray tops with an arrangement of playing cards, shellacking the finished product, of course. This one we liked: "When men's collar stays are mislaid, slivers cut from old cards will substitute perfectly." It seems lots simpler, somehow, just to give them to the young sters to play with or, if they have been used so long they are dog eared and playing with them is sort of like trying to shuffle waf fles, there is always the garbage pail.

Did I ever tell you about that big fish I caught vacationing in the Baha mas last ? I'laviug arils By FLOIiENCE JENKINS Canasta, anyone, or bridge? Card playing in this country is as old as the nation itself nnd a deck of playing cards is one of the few things which has remained vir tually the same through the years. The cards in today's bridge deck may be a little narrower than the old decks of cards our grand fathers played solo and poker with, but no amount of pressure has changed the old standard 52-card deck. Nor has any nwdornistic de sun been found to displace the familiar king, queen and jack fig ures. There was a flurry in the l'XM's to popularize decks of thin alumi num or celluloid cards designed lor playing solitaire while enjoying a leisurely haih. The plumbing manufacturers won that battle, however, and the shower started replacing the his. old-f.ishinncd tub. Even the Association of Amer ican Playing Card Manulacturcrs couldn't figure out how to play solitaire in a shower. The association does, however, have some three dozen suggestions for using the cards no longer suitable lor games because of the loss of a card or two or a lace card being damaged which re mils in a marked di ck Imitations to parties, it reports. By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-It isn't the people who are off on vacation who cut down the efficiency of the average business office this time of year. It's the people who arc just back from vacation and can't keep from talking about it oi company time. Let's take a typical example During his two-week summer vacation Jim Jukes goes on an auto tour of the West, and during a descent into the Grand Canyon almost falls off a mule. Well naturally, to Jim this is the most exciting event in the history of travel since Burton Holmes dis covered the spoken word. Suppose there are 124 people in the office besides Jim. Jim. is going to buttonholo 120 of them I all except the four he isn't speak ing to because he owes them money) and spend a full hour with each Idling his dramatic ex perience, over and over, always leading up to that terrible mo ment: "The mule stumbled, 1 fell al most out of the saddle, and, boy. did I wish I was back in the good old office again!" By the lime he himself wearies of telling about his adventure, half his bored co-workers are mailing insulting letters to the mule, de nouncing it as an enemy of the human race for not kicking Jukes into the canyon in the first place. Jukes spent only two weeks on vacation but 120 hours or three more weeks bragging about it. It also took 120 hours of other peo ple's time to hear him out. If the same holds true for each of the 125 employes, the manage ment is ostensibly paying only for 50 vacation weeks a year but actually also fooling the bill for 750 more weeks of post-vacation talk. What is the answer? The solu tion is simple. Each employe would be given a free extra week If he signed an agreement not to mention his vacation aloud in the office on his return on pain of dismissal. During the extra allotted week he would stay home and fill out the following vacation information lorm to be posted on the bulletin board by the office water cooler: "All right, where did you go? "How many miles per gallon did you average? Have any flat tires (besides the one in the back seat)? Forgo! fen 31a n By WILBUR LANDREY United Press International What has happened to General Mohammed Naguib, the forgotten strongman of the Egyptian revolution? Chances are you'll find him play ing tennis or reading newspapers at live Al Marg mansion in a northeastern suburb of Cairo. It was General Naguib, then 51, who led the revolt that deposed King Farouk late in July 1052, and later became president and premier of Egypt. But the shaggy-haired, rugged- faced general was in turn ousted by Gamal Abdel Nasser and put under arrest in November, 1954. He was never brought to trial. Now Naguib lives a life of ease at the mansion. He cannot leave the grounds, but inside he is com pletely free. He even sends out for meals from Cairo's best res taurants to vary his fare. There are reports he talks to Nasser by telephone. But Nasser last year told an interviewer that he does not see Naguib. The Al Marg "palace" has over 20 rooms surrounded by gardens and farm plots where Naguib spends most of his 'day. He plays tennis with the officers guarding I him and receives friends and rcla lives who are allowed to visit. Occasionally he hunts pigeons and ducks. The General still rises early each morning to play tennis, read the papers and ihave breakfast with his family. The newspapers and magazines he reads come from all over the world. No reading matter is withheld from him. Naguib never missed a radio news bulletin and was reported joyous the day of the Iraqi revolt. He has three wives. Each spends a week with him in turn. Most of his children arc abroad at foreign schools, studying at gov ernment expense. Naguib himself wanted them to study abroad and often calls them by long distance telephone. Naguib writes and receives fre quent letters from relatives and friends. But, otherwise, he is the forgot ten man of Egypt. The Cairo news papers no longer mention him. "1 do not seek personal pow er." he once said. "I want to rid Egypt of its enemies. I must, be cause if 1 fail Egypt will fall to dusl." Nacuih has finished his job now forced out of the way while Nas ser seeks to solidify the Arab nations. Boss Nikita Khrushchev and Red Chinese Leader Mao Tse-Tsung. What can be expected from il is an all-out propaganda assault the Latin American nations. with the Unites States as the chiel target of the attack. Within 48 hours of the decision. Peiping in fact opened up its guns with a broadside attack on the United States' alleged "enslave ment" policy on the Latin Ameri can continent. The Red bloc's decision emerged from the joint Sino-Rus-sian communique issued in Peiping Sunday at the conclusion of the Mao-Khrushchev secret talks. Red China and the Soviet pledged themselves formally then and there to "give firm support to the just struggles of the peo ples of 53 United Arab Republic, the Republican of Iraq, and the other Arab countries as well as the national independence movements of the peoples in Asia, Africa and Latin America," the communique announced. The listing of Latin America in line with Arab nations left little doubt of what is in the minds ol the Red leaders. Soviet affairs experts have read into the blunt announcement a sort of declaration of a propaganda war by the United Reds in the "back yard" of the United States. Soviet designs on this sphere have been increasingly evident for some time past; but nothing or little was said about it officially in Moscow. Now, the word is out. Latin America has been formally and officially included in the "sphere of operation" of the Red propa ganda machine, calling for "inde pendence" frm American "domina tion and exploitation." Significantly, Red China has giv en its backing to the move just as it has become a prime backer of the "independence" campaign in the Middle East More people "demonstrated" in Peiping against the United States and Britain's intervention in Lcb anon and Jordan than did in Mos cow last month. This tends to confirm the grow ing impression that Mao is taking over gradually the leadership of Communist ideology and its appli cation from Moscow, Latin America has for some time past been confined largely to more discreet behind-the-scenes infiltra tion tactics. .

Klamath Falls (To The Editor) I'd like to make a comment on an article I read in your paper. The word, botulism, for instance. I had noticed for some time that there were some dead ducks of various kinds lying around in the water or around the shore. There were also some fish. 1 didn't know what was doing it but it seems like it was something in the air or something from chem icals in fuel oils had gotten in the air and water. The water, when 1 first visited this town, seemed very good but do not think so now. What is killing them is entirelv different. If you change your word, botu lism, around to read "boltle-ism' you might get a laugh, as who wants grief. In the fall, a goodly number of hunters get together and start for the duck ponds and they take a goodly number of bottles beer, wine, whiskey and what-have-vou. Alter a night of cards, "boltle- ism" and such, they get up in the morning, if able, and go duck hunt- inc. That is Ihe kind of ' boltle-ism" the ducks are dying of. Some time ago your scientists were after mice, and they got some eese. 1 had noticed a lot of go phers or ground squirrels at Moore Park, but 1 do not see them now Everything has a little somethinc to do w ith our own health and such experiments do not help The hypodermic does not add to one s health, no matter how used Robert M.

State Demo Chief Predicts Stand At State Convention SACRAMENTO (AP) Roger Kent, Democratic state chairman, predicted today the party's state convention this weekend will take a "definite and unequivocal" stand against what he termed the three "hate" measures on the November ballot. He referred lo Props. 16 (to repeal the parochial school prop erty tax exemption); 17 (to cut sales taxes, adjust income taxes) and 18 ("right-to-work.") The Republicans, meeting here last weekend, avoided all three measures, contending it would be an invasion of the initiative sys tem. Kent spoke of their inaction as "cowardice and expediency." Similarly, in a Los Angeles speech, Atty. Gen. Edmond G. Brown. Democratic candidate for governor, called the Republicans' neutrality a "shameful and spine less exhibition. Speaking of his own party, Kent said: "We will take a stand on any thing and everything that is con troversial." William Rosenthal of Los Ange les. Democratic vice chairman and probable next chairman, agreed with Kent's prediction on Props. 16 and 18 but said there may be some contest on 17. How ever, he expressed belief the Democrats will oppose 17, too, This measure, sponsored by organized labor, would cut the state sales tax from 3 to 2 per cent, reduce income taxes for those earning less than $5,000 a year and boost the rate in higher brackets. Kent said Democratic nominees and leaders favor giving the con sumers a break, hut that Ihey regard 17 as ill-advised at a time when Ihe state government is heading toward a big deficit. The outgoing chairman pre dicted the Democrats would put together a strong plank opposing any sales tax on food as possible source of revenue, fn addition, he said the platform would pledge a general overhaul of the state tax structure so as to "allocate the tax burden more equitably in favor of consumers. Taking issue with the GOP's hands-off attiude on the three initiatives, Assemblyman William A. Munncll (D-Los Angeles), As sembly minority leader, said he considered it the duty and respon sibility of any major party to let the public know where it stands on crucial public issues. Otherwise, he said, the pub lic would be justified in assuming that party was fearful, timid and maybe lacking in leadership." Munnell looked for a harmoni ous convention in marked con trast, he said, to the "bickering, vascillation and indecision" of the Republican meeting. The Republicans were openly split on the "right-to-work" meas ure, with Sen. William F. Know land for it and Gov. Knight and most other party candidates against it. MOVING JOB BELLEVILLE, N. J.

(API-Authorities sought today to pierce the mystery of why 27-year-old Davis Edgar Alley killed two lit tle neighborhood girls and himself in a burst of gunlire. Mary Jane Daltnn, 9, and her sister Frances, 7, went to the Al ley home yesterday. They wanted to use the telephone to call the lo cal hosnital to inquire about their mother, who had just given birth to a child. Moments later, a series of shots rang out. Alley's wife, reluming from a neighbor's house, found her husband sprawled unconscious across a bed with a bullet through his head. The bullet-punctured bodies of the sisters lay nearby. Alley died last night without re gaining consciousness. A coroner's jury called Ihe case murder and suicide. Relatives and friends of Alley could think ot no explanation. Alley, a World War II veteran, had been out of a job since Jan uary. But he had appeared in good spirits despite the problem of supporting his preenant wife and a 3-year-old daughter.
