CAVE ME THE ULCER I Newcomers' Than Old Time Cowboys By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) Do you have a nostalgic notion that the film cowboys of yesteryear could outdraw, outride and outfight the current crop? Forget it, says Cliff Ketchum, who has seen them come and go. He claims the oldtimers wouldn't (land a chance against today's screen cowpokes. Cliff is no grizzled veteran of rower gulch. He s a plainspoken fortyish fellow who has lived around horses all his life in vari ous parts of the west. Since 1IM9, he has operated a saddlery in the San Fernando Valley, and all of the Western stars have been his customers. Lately, he has beeiv seeing what their life is like.

Besides which, his horses are steady workers in the film mills at $100 a week, I asked him to compare the horse opera stars, past and pres ent. "No comparison." he said flat ly. "With the possible exception of Tim McCoy, I don t think any of the oldtimers could hold their own in any kind of contest with these new hoys. "The difference is that most of the old coyboys were actors who happened to choose western roles. The Western actors today have often been chosen because they were superior athletes or horse men. 'The oldtimers cheated a great deal. I remember when I was a kid in Flagstaff, Ariz., Tom Mix was down there shooting some pictures. He had seven different doubles one lor riding, one for driving, one for falling off a horse. :ind so forth. "Today, a lot of the stars insist on doing their own stunts. They even take more chances than the stunt men do." There's no doubt, Cliff said, that the newcomers could out draw the oldsters. These boys work hard at per fecting their draw," he explained. "The fastest draw in Hollywood? Well, it would be pretty hard to heat Hugh O'Brian. He has dedi cated his life to being Wyalt Eaip." British Post A-Zone Area HONOLULU (AP) A 37.800- square-mile dancer zone for Brit ish nuclear tests at Christmas Island goes into effect tomorrow.

Seattle Pilot Tries Takeoff PORTLAND (AP) Peter B. Bement, 30, a calm Seattle pilot, his wife, and two equally calm passengers will try today to get a small plane off the Columbia Kiver Highway. Where automobiles usually zip past, Bement brought his plane down for a landing at 8:40 p.m. yesterday, almost out of gas. For once there were no cars in sight. Bement taxied to a stop, and the four aboard the craft calmly pushed the plane onto a shoulder, out of the way of traffic. Russell M. Harness, who works at a concession stand at Rooster Rock state park, 20 miles east of Portland, was flabbergasted. "They weren't shook up at all. Acted as though it happened every day," Harness said. He already had called police, convinced that disaster was at hand when the plane began swooping low over the highway. Bement said he left Boise at 4:30 p.m. with his wife, Shirley Ann, 21; Eugene B. Brown, 35, and his 31-year-old wife. They were heading for Hillsboro, Ore., when the plane ran low on gas. Bement said he could not locate the airport at Troutdale, east of Portland, so turned to the high way. They hitch-hiked to Forest Grove last night to spend the night with Bement's mother. To get the plane off the highway they first needed permission of the state Highway Department and police traffic blocks to hold cars back. Rail Lumber Cut Defended SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A Southern Pacific official defended today an SP approval to cut lum ber freight rates between Oregon and Southern California and Ari zona as necessary to compete with truck and water transporta tion. The official, E. J. Larson, ap peared as a witness in an Inter state Commerce Commission hearing on the proposed rates. He is freight traffic manager of cars carrying lumber from Oregon to Southern California and Arizona declined 58 per cent between 1950 and 1957. Edward M, Bcrnl, a San Fran cisco attorney representing the California. Forest Products Ship pers Association, questioned Lar son intensively in an attempt to bring out that SP's claimed loss in lumber traffic could have re sulted from factors other than competition with trucks and ships. Examiner Walter Baumgartner announced that hearings on the matter will be held in Portland for a week or 10 days" after the current hearings in San Fran cisco. Baumgartner said the date for the Portland hearings will be set later. The Portland session was sug gested by William B. Adams, rep resenting the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm As sociation. Adams said Portland would be a more convenient place for the 32 or 33 shipper witnesses he would bring to the stand to sup port the proposed rates. Japan Drains Biggest Lake AKITA. Japan (AP) Land-hun gry Japan has begun to drain the nation's second biggest lake and turn it into a giant rice field. The reclamation task is the largest ever undertaken. Authorities hope the work in turning Lake Hachirogata into a food-producing area will be com pleted in seven years. They expect to raise at least two million bushels of rice, still the nation's staple food, from 32. 000 acres of the reclaimed land, using 10.000 more for housing and other agricultural purposes. The lake in north Honshu is H feet deep at its deepest, and cov ers (15 square miles. The government has put aside 54 million dollars to reclaim it. BELL'S HARDWARE SALE GARDEN HOSE 50 ft.

Wilson says this nation's atomic submarine success may not be a good thing if it is considered as part of an arms race. If such a teat heats up tne Rus sians some more, it s wo baa we did it," Wilson said in a speech here last night before a meeting of community organizations. Wilson, who said he deplored the possibility of an arms race, was referring t the American subma rine which went under the arctic ice recently. The former General Motors Corp. president also discussed the American and Soviet satellites and referred to them and the atomic submarine as "good tricks." This race is not a game, he said.

He listed these as tech nology, U.S. and great nations aid lo poor countries which he called "colonialism in reverse." t h e United Nations, communications to bring peoples closer together, and worldwide broader education ot the masses.

Travel Around Moon Seen By 1963 Say Scientists STANFORD, Calif.

They said the trip from earth to the moon and back could take from three to four days "a good compromise between emphasis on safety and comfort of the passen ger on one hand and lowest pos sible costs on the other. The first preparatory step, they said, should be taken before 1962. That step would be to send a man in a sealed space cabin into orbit around the earth. Rocket hardware already under develop ment could be used. "Before 1964, the big step can be made. Cole and .Muir said. "A man in a sealed cabin similar to the orbiting vehicle could be sent in a journey around the moon. "The solutions to the major prob lems involved in such a venture are already understood in princi ple, and the remaining problems are primarily those of money, time and engineering development."

Linda drinks the potion, bathes in it, washes her hair with the stuff and applies it as a poultice. The substance is called mate (pronounced ma-tay) and is made of crushed leaves from a tree by the same name. Mate is brewed like tea then bottled for various uses. "It makes you healthy," Linda claims. 'Mate keeps the" skin healthy and it's good for the liver. Very few South Americans have liver trouble or heart attacks because they all drink mate. It was dis covered by the gauchos. They drink mate instead of coffee or liauor. It is also good for plants and parakeets," she added thought fully. To prove her sincerity Linda or dered a teapot of boiling water and added five tablespoons of mate. Then she poured it into glasses filled with ice. It tasted terrible. Like tea mixed with motor oil. Wonderful, isn't it, she smiled. "Mate makes old people young. It restores vitality. Once North Americans Discover mate they will be much happier peo ple.
