The Queen also nurtured a band of offspring who contributed muci lo the literary wealth of America Such men as Mark Twain I Samuel Clemens i, Dan de Quille, Sam Davis and others started their lit erary careers when the Queen was young and carried on their writings to bring credit and praise irom the world.

This is strong praise, but those who know Janet Pomeroy Averv Dulles say she deserves every bit of It. For 47 years she was an in separable companion for her hus band. During Dulles' final illness Bird In Hand Worth More To Frenchman PARIS (API Alfred Charron has proved that a good French man still prelers a bird in the hand to two in the bush, especial ly if Ihe bird represents $10,000 As first-prize winner in a news paper contest, Charron had to choose between the llu.ono i live million francs) and a dream year, with all taxes and expenses paid The five million, responded Charron, a 61-year-old locksmith when asked by Ihe newspaper L Aurore which staged the con test. The circulation building conlesl offered the winner such luxury items as a new car, new ward rube, expense-paid vacation and even school tuition fnr the kids. Charron slands to get much more than a dream year. He plans to retire immediately. He is going to use about one-fourth of the money to pay up his retirement payments, enabling him to quit work now and start drawing a modes! pension. With the -rest I intend to help my son," says Charron. "He has helped me a lot and we have al ways worked together. It is only right that he should share the lurk." Charron's son is also a lock smith, married and with three sons of his own. "They just bought a small apartment and I can now help them pay for it. They were crazy with Joy," Charron says. To win his money, Charron had to wade through some .SO puzzling photo questions. These included such items as a photo of movie star Biigitte Rardot with the ques tion "Kxactly what size is her waist Asked what size he said Bar riot's waisl was. Charron admits. "I just guesed. 1 can't remember what I said " As a result of Charron's choice, l.'Aurore publisher Robert Lazu rick won a bet with himself. He wagered the contest winner would take Ihe Jin.ono. although the paper was ready lo go all out if the dream year was chosen. Lazunrk was happy on another count. Before the contest ended, the paper had grown 17 per cent from Ihe SOO.ono circulation it had st the contest's start Your Car Serviced! CADILLAC Ph.

Mrs. Dulles' exceptional devo tion to her husband and his de manding public career began nearly half a century ago. She met Dulles shortly alter returning from Europe in 1911. They were married June 26 1912. at Auburn. N. Y., the home of the bride's parents. She bore him three children, two sons and a daughter. During one two-year period she and "Foster" logged 3O0.000 miles together. Whenever the diplomatic meetings he attended were open to the public Mrs. Dulles was among the spectators. She delighted in the travel and the new people she met during the trips. She spoke fluent French and some Spanish. Mrs. Dulles tried to ease the burden of her husband's demand ing duties by - creating in their home a haven from the world's turmoil. The present Dulles home in Washington is a French pro vincial at the edge of Rock Creek Park. Dulles' death, even though an ticipated for some days, came as a grievous blow to his wife. But friends said she was bearing up well in her grief.- Shc s wonderful, a friend told reporters. "She's strong and con trolled." Small Town Refuses To Give Up By JIM VAN VAI.KENRl'RG DE SOTO, .Mo. AP) This is story of a town that never gives up. Three staggering blows hit De Soto in Ihe past year. Two plants closed and a third laid off tioo of its 850 employes. About 1.000 per sons were out of work. De" Soto's 5.5O0 citizens reacted quickly. They raised jnofl.OOO in live days and resurrected a shoe plant by furnishing operating capital to the Hamilton Shoe Co. of St. Louis. They built a plant and talked a St. Louis metal labricating firm into moving in. A company which had shut down donated its plant to the city and prospects are bright that another company will move in soon. "It was the first lime in my life I ever had trouble stopping a tund drive, said George D. Tur ner. 40-ycar-old cashier of Ihe American Kmik. 'We h;id the money we needed in five days An open house ceiehral ing the reopening of the shoe factoiy will be held today for 205 imestors and their families. When the otrtlonk was darkest in January, voters approved hy almost a 4-tn-I margin a H:0.0i bond issue to build a junior high school. ! The fund drive had a grass roots ! beginning. About 20 men went to work for Hamilton in St. l.ouis. 40 miles north of De Soto, after Inter national Shoe, which employed .ion, closed the plant in April ldis They heard rumors that Hamilton wanted to expand. A committee ol three a labor union official and two. Chamber of Commerce members visited Hamilton officials and learned the company was interested. Then Turner met with C. D. P, Hamilton III. company president "When Hamilton asked me if De Soto could raise two. 000. I said I was certain we could." Turner said. "You know. I hadn't even discussed it with anyone. The De Soto Trading Corp. was organised by live business and professional men. The money was collected and loaned at S per cent interest to the De Solo Shoe Co . set up as a wholly owned subsi diary of Hamilton. The shoe factory now has a), most 100 employes with a goal of 300. Horace Pul'cn, a former union secretary and now a plant fore man, said. "These people have a lot of guts They think De Soto is a good place to live and Ihcy won't nuit on it " The Missouri Pacific Railroad, which laid off fm at its Ircish" car shops last year, announced plans to build Mm new cars this year and has started to recall employes. miss w Both Lungs Had Cancer, Says Senator Neuberger In U.S. Magazine Article NEW YORK 'API The cancer which attacked Sen. Richard L. Neuberger D-Ore' had spread into both lungs by the time it wa. discovered, he revealed in an ar tide in the June issue ol Harpers Magazine. But, he said, the spread was so little it had been overlooked in the lirst X-rays. "But there it was." he wrote, a very small spot on the periphery of each lung. If not destroyed, the spots would grow . . andi eventually spill out ot the lungs, reaching to the brain and other vital organs." This was the first' lime Neuber ger had gone beyond the medical statement issued at the time his treatments were completed las: January. The medical seport spoke only of cancer of the tes ticle. At a news conference then the senator was asked about re ports that radiation treatment had been applied to his chest and he sajd he would not go beyond the medical statement. In his article he told of his fears, and of encouragement received from members of both political parties. The senator said friendly sympathy offered by some Repub licans makes him "doubt if ever (again I could be wholly partisan." Neuberger said there had na'er been a question in his mind of the quality of treatment he would gee in Portland, and he was told by one of the country's foremost can cer authorities to complete his treatments in Portland under men described as "real medical schol ars." He wrote this of his early reac tions on learning he might have cancer: "This was the kind of thing which always happened to some body else, but never to me. 1 soon would awaken from the nightmare, the cold chills would subside, my heart would stop pounding and my wile and I would be driving through evergreen forests to our annual vacation on the seacoast. "But when I did awaken, it was alter surgery at the Teaching Hospital. The little lump in my testicle, caught miraculously ear ly, was. nonetheless malignant There was no doubt about that. I lay back, physically and psycho logically exhausted, and wondered how soon I was to die. Then I heard the doctor, who earlier had been so candid with me, saying: " 'We think you're going to be all right'." Then. Neuberger wrote, he learned the cancer had spread to his lungs, but only slightly, and he learned too it was a typ which yielded readily to radiation. He said he spent an afternoon with the radiologist who was to treat him. " 'Cure is not Inevitable, he be gan, and I felt perspiration creep over my body. 'But if we get any breaks at all, continued the radi ologist, 'we think you' re going to be cured. " 'What do you mean by breaks,' I asked. " 'First,' he answered, 'you must be able lo tolerate the. treatment so the necessary number of roent gens can be applied to the affected areas. That's a whole lot easier with cobalt than with the old-style X-ray therapy. Second, we hope that additional new lesions do not appear throughout your chest in such numbers that we would have to apply a high dose of radiation to your entire lungs for that can not be done safely. To a limited area in the chest, definitely yes: LYME ii HEY HAD TO BREAK THE RAW LAND... OR BE BROKEN J(j& BY IT! ...young people in a young country boiling over with brawling passions, wild love and violent greedsl IP,, " 1 m4 u auiiTzm wm WINHIM . . .ouTH.u a i MONUMCNTAL k MST-tfLlISI Jr 1a on thi J SCMINI DON MURRAY to the entire chest, no'." Neuberger wrote of alarm ex pressed by friends in tbe East over his decision to have his treat ments in Portland. A member of the President's staff proposed to arrange for care at Walter Reed Hospital. "Yet my own decision was never in doubt. I had complete personal confidence in my doctors in Port land. I think this is enormously important with a disease that im poses such heavy psychological stress. Furthermore. I wasneet ing people day after day who had survived malignancies more seri ous than mine, and they had re ceived their care in Oregon." He wrote of a visit paid to him by Dr. Sidney Farber. director of the Children's Cancer Foundation of Boston, who studied his case and as he left by plane said, "If 1 had been in the least dissatis fied with your care, you would be on the Mainliner with me tonight, en route East. But you must stay here. You are being treated with skill and wisdom. I am impressed with your doctors as real medical scholars. Neuberger continued under treat ment. getting cobalt radiation and injections of a drug, actinomycin which had been brought here bv Dr. Farber. The lung lesions grew smaller and lost their hard out lines on X-ray film. In time a trained radiologist, he said, could not tell the exact location where they had been. The senator wrote of his mental outlook:' "Questions of prestige, of political success, of financial sta tus, became all at once unimport ant. "Politically I have changed too. he wrote. "I doubt if ever again I could be wholly partisan. The response of the people of Oregon reflected no party lines. Republi cans as well as Democrats offered us the use of their beach cottages or mountain cabins for convales cence. The press, without excep tion was friendly and con cerned. ... "Under such circumstances it be comes hard to bristle at people for political reasons. Flash Floods Mopped Up CLEVELAND.

Reminder Given Congress Of Atomic War Possibility WASHINGTON API-Congress was advised today it cannot afford to forget the possibility of a big atomic war. Rep. George H. Mahon iD-Texi sounded that note of caution as the House headed into two days of debate on a bill to provide (38,848.339.000 for the Defense De partment for the year starting July 1. Mahon is chairman of the subcommittee which wrote the bill. The House starts considering amendments to the measure Wednesday. Major fights are in prospect over amendments to in crease the size of the Army and the -Marine Corps, lo restore funds for a super aircraft carrier, and to change Ihe amounts provided for missiles. Mahon said the bill as drawn is designed to insure peace by guaranteeing that "we have the ability in great abundance to deter global war and to cope with it should such a war be forced upon us." Some people. Mahon said in an interview, "are saying 'get your mind off a big atomic war. There is not going to be one. The thing to be concerned about is limited war.' " He called that "a dangerous doctrine which the American peo ple cannot afford to embrace." To- give top priority to prepara tion for limited war, Mahon said, "is to invite general war., Ade quate preparation for total war is the best possible deterrent to lim ited war." He defied the mobsters . and went down swinging whe they muscled . in on his career! VUs. 1 - r IFHllrl I 10:4S J mmmm tKIHI TOOT ..Sfwti am m tut tifct'l feu hm mim 'nfM4ru4T! Rt Mv Ocot . . .

The bill provides $399,861,009 less than President Eisenhower requested in new funds. The committee cut sharply into funds asked for the Air Forca Bomarc missile program and re fused to provide 260 million dollars for a new super carrier. Partly offsetting these reductions was an increase in money for the Army' Nike-Zeus missile program. The committee made no change in Eisenhower's proposals for an 870.000-man Army and a Marine Corps of 175.000 men. Some Con gress members have insisted there should be minimum strengths of 900.000 for the Army and 200.000 for the Marine Corps. Congress voted money last year to provide those minimums, but Eisenhower ignored them.
