X is the greeting card industry. ""It dcjwnds completely on the fact people are naturally lazy" said William D. Harris, "and that's why the business is going to last. "People arc going to get lazier and lazier. The greeting card ap peals to this flaw in the human race. It saves them the trouble of sitting down and writing a note." Bill, 41, slender, dark-eyed and energetic, is one of the brighter minds in the rapidly changing in dustry, and helped pioneer the humorous greeting card. After his release from the Air Force in 11146, he invested all his $3,000 savings in a small greeting card firm. In a dozen years he built it to an annual volume of a million dollars. "When I started," he recalled "funny cards accounted only for about one per cent of the business. Mostly it was all hearts and flow ers, ribbons and bows, satin and lace. Today 60 per cent of all cards are humorous." Writing a hit greeting card is about as difficult as turning out a hit song. Harris puis out some 200 new cards each year. He sifts through tens of thousands of contributed suggestions "everybody in the country now seems to be writing greeting cards" but buys only about 25. The other 175 he turns out himself, which makes him one of the most productive men in the industry. Harris, son of Harry Harris, an old-time vaudeville performer, is an action man when it comes to humor. He has cards that pop, jump, wiggle, smoke and say Merry Christmas. Although birthday cards are the best sellers, followed by Christmas and get-well cards, the fastest growing specialty in the field to day is the "slam card." "I resisted the trend for some time, because I didn't really be lieve people wanted to send that kind of card." said Harris. "But iney ao. i ney re going over stronger all the lime. "One of our biggest sellers at Valentine time is a card that simply says, 'Drop Dead." " There is also a big market for the "peacemaker card." Example: A card saying "For give me." which when opened adds "I lost my head." It shows a man holding his head under one arm. , "There is now a specially card for practically any occasion you can name," said Harris, ."there's even a card to send to someone who owes you money." The greeting card industry is one of the few that doesn't worry times. But the 1033 lire was not the end of the tragedy.

I. is i'irc l SALEM It was 25 years ago this month that the first Tillamook fire broke out in Gales Creek Can yon in northwestern Oregon. Ten days alter it started the fire "blew up "anil what had been a 411,000 acre fire developed into a conflagration that destroyed 'On. 000 acres and killed 12 billion board feet of timber. On the morning of the fire the sun was clear and hot and an east wind swept across the valley and into the slopes of the Coast Range. Foresters had been urging log gers to close down their operations hut there was then no law to force such closures. Up in Gales Creek Canyon, 15 miles out of Forest . Grove, a logger had a single log to bring in before closing. As the huge Douglas lir ground its way to the landing the spark occurred. The fire call went out but before loggers could get their tools in, the fire had carried to the top of a tall snag nearby. The eaM wind caught burning debris and carried it half a mile across the canyon into dry slashings. The lire literally exploded. !t flamed through' the lops of trees with a ro.ir that could he heard down in the valley. r irelighters were called from fields, lorc.sts and cities. With shout l.iHKI men they foucht the blaze for 10 days. The Tillamook fire then broke out on its west side along a l.i mile front, up rooting trees, twisting them oil and cracking cliffs with the ter rific brat The break-out caused charred needles, ashes and cinders to tall in cities along the Pacific Coast. The east wind died down and log rolled in, hut the lire had spread from 40.000 acres to 257.000 acres In just 20 hours and Oregon fouchl one of the historic lues ol modem the shadow of this colossus. She has remained so completely behind the scenes that one high Egyptian official said not long ago he was surprised to learn of her existence. In fact, her recent visit with Nasser to Yugoslavia was her first journey outside Egypt. During an interview two years ago, the first she ever gave to a Western correspondent, the plump. dark-haired lady entertained in the magnificent throne room of the palace that once belonged to de posed King Farouk, She admitted that she did not feel at home in the palace. She explained that their home in the A b b a s 1 a military barracks, where they have lived since Nas ser reassumed power, was being redecorated. In the meantime the Nassers were living in the presidential pal ace. The shy, solt-spoken woman of fered to show the correspondent the house, but Nasser vetoed the suggestion. He insisted that in the Moslem tradition his wife should remain in the background. According to a friend who has known the Nassers since 1944, Tahia likes it that way." "She prefers cooking and sewing to public life." said the friend. "She is devoted to her five chil dren." Tahia wanled her husband to lake her on an earlier visit to Yugoslavia but It was decided oth erwise. Mrs. Nasser dresses simply. Her usual makeup is lipstick and her only jewelry a simple gold wedding hand. Every time she refers to her husband, her deep-set eyes light up. Tallin's simple, almost childlike faith in the man who now rules the II AR goes back to the early days of their marriage. One of Nasser's close associates recalls a morning in pre-revolution- iiry days when Tahia, unaware of her husband's attempt to over throw the Farouk regime, found a box of hand grenades hidden un derneath their bed. She admitted later that she was terrified but lhat she would never tell him that she knew, said (he friend. "Part of it was fear and part of it was the faith that her husband could do no wrong." luliaiioii ilai-caf By WALTER BREEDE JR. NEW YORK (AP The gov ernment flashed a "stop inflation" warning this week as business in dicators pointed higher. sales in the first 10 days of August look an encouraging upturn. Arthur 0.

They credit record sales vol ume to two trends: 1. Increasing numbers of Americans go abroad each year and discover new foods they like: 2. Entertaining at home also is on the increase and this usually calls for something spe- 1 for the guests, whether it or iginates abroad or in the United States. Harold Roth, president of the National Assn. for the Specialty Food Trade, estimates lhat sales here on (he specialty food indus try, foreign and domestic, will hit a new peak this year in excess of 70 million dollars wholesale. Last year's sales came to 60 million. up 15 million from the previous million in 1955. This is only a trifling part ol the 75 billion dollars or more Americans spend at the grocery each year but it's one of the fast est growing items on the market list.

(AP) An inquest will be held today to determine whether a deaf mute .killed him self or was shot to death at a roadblock by oflicers seeking him in the slaying of a 7-year-old girl. Parram Younghlood, a 32-year-old itinerant peddler from Tooms boro, Ga., died in a blaze of gun fire yesterday when he slammed on the brakes of a stolen station wagon at the roadblock on a bridge near here and fired at offi cers. It was first assumed Young blood was killed by an officer's bullet. But Coroner Lester H-. Chapman said last night evidence indicated Youngblood shot him self. Chapman said he found powder burns on skull bones behind Youngblood's right ear, indicating the fatal shot was fired at close range. He ordered the inquest. The gun battle climaxed a mam moth manhunt for Youngblood. who was charged with kidnaping 7-year-old Margie Jones of Melvin, Ky., Saturday night. The girl's body was found yes terday in a field. She had been shot twice in the back with a rifle and apparently had been beaten on the head and choked. She had not been raped.

ABOARD SS MATSONIA (AP) A way of virtually knocking out breast cancer as a cause of death has become a possibility in the not distant future even . though no blanket cure is in sight. The idea is based on the simple arithmetic of breast cancer fatal ities and consideration of what surgery can do. It postulates that women past the child-bearing age would free themselves of the dan ger of breast carcinoma by hav ing the milk glands removed from their breasts even though there is no indication of malignancy. This would mean extraction of about half the bulk of the tissues within the breasts, but not the re moval or destruction of the breasts themselves. It also would serve as a start toward reshaping breasts for aesthetic reasons. A surgeon who neither approved nor disapproved the idea brought it to light yesterday in discussing the future of medicine before a group of about 50 doctors from allTiver the United States. He is Clarence Berne, professor of surgery at the University of Southern California Medical School. His talk was part of a unique medical refresher course conducted by USC aboard this liner en route to Los Angeles from Honolulu. Plain statistics show that one out of every five cancer deaths among women is due to breast malignancy.- In a great majority of cases breast cancer originates in the milk gland tissue. Also, most breast cancer occurs in old er women, usually -those past childbearing age. It follows logi cally that elimination of the site of origin automatically would deal a substantial if not an actual knockout blow lo breast carcinoma. Kusbands! Wives!

Lad Will Think Truman Aide Medal Okayed WASHINGTON (UPI) - The House without debate gave its per mission Monday for Maj. Gen. Harry H. .Vaughan, military aide to former President Truman, to wear a medal from former Ar gentine dictator Juan Peron. The award list, which included S26 other -retired government per sonnel, had been held up by Con gress since 1949 because it in cluded Vaughan's name. The bill now goes back to the Senate for acceptance of House amendments. The fuss over Vaughan's medal started in 1!M9' when newspaper columnist Drew Pearson suggested Vaughan should be fired for ac cepting Ihe Order of General San Martin from Peron. Truman re torted that no 's-o-b" would tell him how to run his office. This- fanned a controversy which was enough to block consideration of all medals by the House be cause Vaughan's name was on the list. The Constitution requires Con-! gross to give its consent before a government official may accept any "present, emolument, office or title" from a foreign state. GULFPORT, Miss.

But then he had qualms about his trip and tried to jump out before the doors closed. He got past the inside door, but the outside door slammed in his face. He managed to clutch the outside door, where he remained clinging terrified for 15 minutes while the self-operated elevator soared past him. Hremcn finally rescued him un harmed.
