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. He made his act
ing debut in "The Young Land"

and Is now working in "Pork Chop
Hill." 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

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.

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

using 10.000 more for housing and
other agricultural purposes.
The lake in north Honshu is H

Cannery Row
Hums Again
MONTEREY. Calif. (UPI) -
Cannery Row hummed today for
the first time in six years with
the return of sardines to Monter
ey Bay.
A dozen boats, about one-third
of a fleet that once numbered
more than 100. brought in 450 tons
of sardines Monday. Some 700
persons went to work processing
the catch in Cannery Row's five
remaining plants.
the sardine
In the 1940 s,
ning industry was a 20 million
dollar a year business and em
ployed thousands of workers in a
score of canneries. Canneries then
processed 4,000 to 9,000 tons of
fish a day.
Whether the sardines would stay
in the waters off Monterey could
not be foretold.
J. B. Phillips, marine biologist
with the Hopkins Marine Station,
said local waters nave oeen

said it could mean the Deginning

Wilson Hates
Arms Race
PETOSKEY. Mich. (AP) For
mer Defense Secretary Charles E.
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. "It's for keeps. It's worse
than strip poker."
He said the peace of the world
depends on the proper use of five
factors. He listed these as tech
nology, U.S. and great nations aid
lo poor countries which he called
"colonialism in reverse." t h e

"The required vehicles could be
assembled from components
which, for the most part, are al
ready well along in development."
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."

Argentine Star Introduces
Cure All For Hangovers
By VERNON SCOTT
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Argen
tine actress Linda Cristal has in
troduced a South American elixir
to. movie folk which she claims
will cure everything from hang
nails to hangovers.
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

Linda denied it would be useful
for washing cars, but she admit

Linda, detecting cynicism re
garding her habit of bathing in
mate, dispelled doubt by driving
to a nearby gymnasium where
she donned a bathing suit and
headed for the steam room.
Once inside the brunette beauty

and rubbed it into her legs.
"Maybe I will star in a picture
someday titled "I Was a Teenage

Currently she is starring with
Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh in

Perfect Furlough."
Dressed again, Linda explained
that many South Americans fill
their mattresses with mate.
It also is mixed with vodka or
rum as a cocktain and applied the
following day in a hot towel for
hangovers.
"Mate works like magic, Lin
