OREGON PAGE FIVE lists were aiven a final INVITATIONS and guest check by Singer Planning Tribute To Memory Of Al Jolson By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD (UPII-Echoos of: Al Jolson will reverberate through the nation's living rooms Tuesday night when Eddie Fisher pays trib ute to the late mammy singer, accompanied by Jolson's oldtimc pianist. Eight years aso this week Jol son died in a San Francisco ho tel room. At his side was Harry Akst. Al's piano-playing sidekick. "I'd known Al since 1008," Akst recalled between rehearsals lor Fisher's NBC-TV program. "It was in Atlantic City that we first met. I was only 12'j years old- one of the original Tin-Pan-Allcy song-pluggers. We continued our friendship right up through the 20s when he was the biggest star on Broad way. He helped me by plugging my songs, and I wrote a few good tunes for him, too 'Am I Blue'.'' "Baby Face,' and 'Dinah.' Eddie will sing all three of 'cm Tuesday night." Akst, white-haired and ruddy- faced, is 84 years old. and a re-1 cent heart-attack victim himself. We both came out to the coast when Al started making movies," he said. "Then, in the early 30s, he was all washed up. Joley didn't think he was through, but every body else did. "During the dark davs we used to go to the fights and plav a lot ot golf. Al always had plenty of money, but he missed the spot light and the audiences. It was killing him. "This story about Al has never oecn iota, we used to ride around Beverly Hills looking for parties with six or seven cars parked out in front and all the lights on. Then I'd ring the doorbell and ask perfect strangers if they could use some1 entertainment, adding that I had the great Al Jolson in the car. "Almost always they were hap. py to have us come iir, and Joley would sing all night for free, and for the love of it." During World War II Akst wa Jolson's constant companion and accompanist on toura of Europe, Africa, South America and the Ori ent to entertain American troop. After the war Jolson made one of Hollywood's great comebacks.

Court Notes Slight Gain The Klamath County Court has noted some progress in its cam paign to acquire rock sites and cinder pits on the Klamath Indian Reservation, but the progress to date hasn't been enough. The Portland area oflicc of the Bureau of Indian Affairs gave the county permits to use rock and cinder from reservation sites until August 31, 1961, or sooner if the land involved should be sold. This arrangement has no per manancy. County Judge Charlie Mack said, and isn't satisfactory at all. The county wants title to the sites, plus access roads to them, because it soon will be re' sponsible for maintaining reserva tion roads. So the issue still is very much unsettled so far as the court is concerned. More pending business developed following a visit by Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-Ore) earlier this month. Neuberger forwarded court in quiries about getting more than five per cent of timber sales on certain lands where It must main tain roads, and about a Bureau of Land Management policy to charge for use of a rock permit on Stukel Mountain. Those issues aren't resolved either. Six Goats Sold, Wrong One Kept HOLLY, Mich. (AP) Farmer Peter Bower sold six of his seven goats last week when he found them nibbling on electrical wiring in the barn. A fire Sunday destroyed the barn. Damages were estimated at $8,000. Bower said the seventh goat probably started the blaze by chewing on the wires. It died in the fire. GUARANTEED Vacuum Cleaner REPAIRS Specialized Service on all MakesJ Ho Matte?
