It seems that I have put my
font in my mouth again.
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.

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

card being damaged which re

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)?

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."

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

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.

LEAKSVILLE. N. C. (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

good spirits despite the problem
of supporting his preenant wife
and a 3-year-old daughter.
