1 HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Mondav. July 27. 1359 PAGE SEVEN Movie Queens Fan Flames Of Long Feud By VERNON SCOTT tPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPli Movie queens Joan Crawford and Ar lene Dahl fanned the names of their 12-year-long feud this week after la Crawford hinted Arlene b&s bats in her belfry. The exact quote, as purred by Joan: "Those Carlsbad Cavern hats must have followed dear Miss Dahl back from her loca- Uoning." , The reference was to Arlene's recent trip to the caverns for her new movie, "A Journey to the Center of the Earth," and follow ing her explanation of the origin of the glamour feud "I'm not the sensitive type and shouldn't let Miss Crawford's remarks hurt my feelings," Ar lene said. "But apparently she can't for get an innocent remark 1 made at my first Hollywood party. Back in W47 I was a teenager looking forward to meeting movie stars, , and Joan Crawford was my fa vorite. Like all young kids will 1 put my foot my mouth. "At the party 1 said, "I'm glad to meet you Miss Crawford. You've always been a great fa vorite of mine and my mother' too." ' .. "I didn't mean to say she was older than Methuselah, but there was such an embarrassing silence I wanted to die. I didn't know what I'd said, and I was crushed by her coolness "Since then it's been one thing Filer another. She's been needling me in print '.. and at parties. 1 thought she was above . such things." The red-haired actress said she is willing to forgive and forget. "Joan claims the trouble began In 1956 when we both were pre sented to the Queen. She is quoted as saying I insisted we be intro duced alphabetically, which wasn't the case at all. I wanted to be introduced as Arlene Dahl I.itmas (my husband's name). In either case she would have been introduced first. I don't know what difference it makes.' Arlene sighed unhappily and said she still admires Miss Craw ford "when personal feelings don't 1 enter into it." "There are too many important things going on in the world to take time out for feuding," Miss Dahl concluded. "I feel- no ani mosity about the lady. If it'll . help, I apologize. I just want to , forget the whole thing tV THE TIMELY NEIGH H$ THE TIMELY NEIGH y Donald J. Sebel The radio newscast carried a report of the death of writer Bill Quist near Strandville. According to the report, Quist had swerved his sports car from his lane and crashed head-on with a green se dan driven by R. J. Phelps, who escaped with a broken arm and lacerations. Both cars tumbled off the road after colliding. Dr. Haledjian quickly put through a telephone call to the Strandville police. "I've known Bill Quist for years, he told the police chief. 'I can't believe he was at fault. and I'd like a chance to clear his name." The chief's tone was snappish "Quist was to blame and that's certain. The accident occurred on the hairpin turn due west of the Fleetwood Riding Academy. Ted Dennison, the riding master, saw the whole thing. Despite the chief's resentment of big-city snoopers, Haledjian drove up to Strandville. A half hour of questioning established that not only was the injured man R. J. Phelps, a local bigwig, but also the brother-in-law of the only eye-witness to the accident, Ted Dennison. Haledjian spoke with Dennison late in the afternoon. "I saw it plainly," said the rid ing master. "I was just mount ing Nelly Bly that little chestnut mare there." "What made you glance toward the road? "She did," said Dennison with a smirk. "I'd got one foot in the stirrup when all of a sudden she neighed, turned her head to the left, and looked at the road al most expectantly. Over her back I saw the two cars that fellow Quist jumped the center line." Why weren t any lire marks found on the road?" "The fact is," answered Denni son the marks. The fact is," retorted Hale djian. "You never saw the accident." Tribe Toilers Hold Party Hunting. Fishing Pressure Gaining Over US, But Land Available Shrinks Steadily By ELMER C.

It wijl become an information center. The building, scheduled for occupancy in November, will honor Smith, described as "prophet, seer and revelator" of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, better known as Mormons. Smith, whose ancestors arrived In New England a century before his birth on Dec. 23, 1805,. was born on a farm in Sharon a few ''miles from here. Little is known about his boyhood.' But his family crossed the Connecticut River in to New Hampshire a number of times trying to make a living. When Smith was 10 years old. the family moved to Palmyra, N.Y., which was the center of the "burnt-over" district. Evangelists staged one revival after another. It was at Palmyra that Smith, according to biographers, had the visions that resulted in the founding of the Mormon Church . His followers were finally blended into an organization at Farette, N.Y., on April 6, 1B30. and Joseph Smith was their first president. ... The most controversial- aspect of their religion was polwny or as the Mormons called it. plural marriage." Because of this they were persecuted and driven westward. Vermonters rankled whenever it was noted that Smith was a native of the Green Mountain State.

At the time they were in jail being "protected" from a mob. NEW YORK (AT) - It took a canny eye indeed to interpret the smoke signals rising from the 40- story teepee in the city's financial district. . . But the redskin construction workers and the paleface press agents got the word. '' A parly of braves sent up the signals Thursday after bolting the last beam in place atop the steel structure of a new building. They said they wanted to invite some tribesmen, working a block away, for a celebration. Publicity pow - wow? By no means, protested the Indians. And a group of press agents, who had shown up for no clear reason, heartily agreed. One of the braves cranked a riveter's forge on top of the new structure and sulphur was thrown on the coals'. The smoke was beautiful, but a brisk wind broke up the clouds and mixed them into larger bil lows from a nearby power plant. Nonetheless, and to no one's as tonishment, the other Indians started arriving immediately and there was friendly drinking of toasts all around. Working on tall buildings is old stuff for many of Manhattan's Mo hawks. They're good at it because they claim, they don't suffer from the usual white man's fear of high places. THIEF LEAVES LUCK LONDON (UPD - Mr. and Mrs. John Rock, married on Sat urday, lost to a thief a few hours later their car, clothes, mon ey, passports and wedding ' pres ents. Among the few things left was a small ebony statue Rock good luck charm. standard of living. But there are penalties that stem from this growth. There are freedoms that are pinched in by the spread of our teeming mil lions to the rural areas where they build homes and take up land that was once free to all to roam. Hunters and fishermen find that domain hemmed in from all sides. This news on hunting and fish ing is considered sufficiently im portant by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to give it leading space in its New England Let ter. "The right to work and live without regimentation and the right to own and develop land have been two of the great . at tractions of this country," says the bank. "But a rapidly increasing popu lation is bringing these historic freedoms into conflict, and this particularly evident in the problem of finding hunting lands and fishing waters for sports men." It has been estimated that around 15 million sportsmen ob tain fishing licenses each year and the same number take out hunting licenses. The two groups may overlap but it's a big total, and supplying the equipment is an industry that runs into the billions when boats, motels, and travel are considered. Publicly owned land is reduced Streams and lakes may be public property but often are inaccessi ble. Private lands are often post ed against hunting. Land values have risen and states that would like to help sportsmen by buying up preserves find it too expen The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston queried federal agencies, fish and game departments of all states and about 500 active sports men's groups in New England about the problem. It found sportsmen in many states pay a fee for hunting on public wildlife management areas, in Virginia, west Virginia, and Arizona, the states collect a fee from hunters using nation al forest lands. This money, says the bank, is reinvested in wild life management work in these lorests. "In the southeastern slates." says the bank, "as of 1951. over rw.uuu sportsmen were paying a fee lo use about four million acres of publicly owned or leased hunting land. 'Many fish and game officials aic convinced that the day of public hunting is over. 'They feel that the sportsmen's problem can only be solved by increasing the supply of fish and wildlife with improved manage ment practices. "They also believe that the av erage sportsman will have lo spend more money and accept more regimentation than he has in the past." Things are so different from the days of the colonists. In the m id-1600s one of them wrote, ex tolling the rivers of the United States affording innumerable "sortes of choyce fish." Also "water fowle of all sorts are plentiful.. .deare all over the coun try...wilde turkeys are frequent and some weigh neer three score pounds." If you think the turk weights are stretched a bit, you ought to read Capt. John Smith's account of fishing in New England in 1624. He mentions mullets four and a half feet long. They don'i grow so big any more, and they are less plentiful. Loyalty Oath ., End Demanded BELLINCHAM AP) With one dissent, the presidents and trus lees of Washington's Colleges of Education favor elimination of the loyalty oath from the National De fense Education Act. The oath is required of students applying for loans under the act Joseph Pemberton, chairman of the board-of Western Washington College in Bellingham, said he saw noining ouensive aoout tne requirement. But the rest of the officials de clared, in a resolution passed here Saturday, that it "will most likely reinforce the growing and danger ous lenaency 01 siuoems 10 avoid all independent thinking about the values and goals of our nation." Dr. Archie Wilson of Richland, a trustee of Central Washington College at Ellensburg, introduced the resolution. Earlier in the meeting, Pember ton was elected chairman of the joint board of the three schools Home Sale rial Slated SEATTLE I A P' Trial was due begin Monday in a white cou ple's fight against an order that they sell their home to a Negro mailman. Superior Judge James W. Hod- son was scheduled to begin hear ing arguments and testimony in case brought by Cmdr. John J. 'Meara and his wile. O'Meara, being transferred to Washington, D. C. by the Coaal Guard, put his house up for sale last spring. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Jones claim they offered to buy it for $18,000 cash on April 21. Jones is mail carrier. He and his wife are Negroes. Mrs. O'Meara claims that Mrs Mae Priske, one of the neighbors n the all-white neighborhood, of fered $17,250 two days earlier. She aid she and her husband ar ranged to sell to Mi-s. Priske, al though no papers, were signed. The State Board Against Dis crimination has ordered the 0' Mearas to sell to the Jonses, say ing no deal was made with Mrs Priske since no earnest money was paid. The white couple arc contesting this order, and Atty Gen. John J. O'Connell has asked that their challenge be dismissed. Champion Barbershopper Takes Crack At Criticism Boat Sinks In Wallula Lake KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) Two women and two men sur vived the weekend sinking of a 25 foot cruiser on Lake Wallula. George Brockwell, 28. swam to shore after George Wolff's cruiser struck a submerged object and sank Friday night.

Brockwell and the two women were hospitalized with shock and exposure CROP POURS IN HEPPNER, Ore. (AP)-One of the biggest wheat and barley crops in history, averaging 120.000 bushels a day, is pouring into the Morrow County Grain Growers' elevators. SPRINGFIELD. Mo. (AP) "If you can't sing, you need a guitar to cover up the noise." That's 23-year-old Larry Hedge- peth's opinion of hillbilly music. In Springfield, that is heresy. Springfield, a city of 105,000 deep in the Ozark Mountains, is dedicated to perpetuating music ith a twang string and nasal. It takes pride that one of televi- ion's top hillbilly music shows- Jubilee, U.S.A. originates here. But Hedgepcth can state a mi nority opinion with impunity, be ing one of Springfield's newest heroes. He's the tenor for the Pitchikers, new world champions of barbershop quartet singing. "A couple of us can do a little guitar picking but we don't do it in the quartet," said Hedgepeth. the quartet won this years competition at the Chicago con vention of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America. Winning the title climaxed four-year campaign that carried I he Pitchikers to a regional cham pionship. They traveled about 100,. ooo miles a year to fill weekend concert engagements. Besides Hedgepeth. the members are Keith Young, 24, Keith Kelt ner, 23, and Joe Delzell, 42. All are amateur performers and all lie in Springfield. Y'ou don't have to talk to them long to recognize all four as na tives of the Ozarks. The vocal twang is there. When they sing. i lie twang dissolves into chords of harmony. Largely responsible for the har mony is S. K. Grundy, the Pitchik ers' organizer and coach. Once a musician and arranger with Lawrence Welk'a orchestra, Grundy heads the music depart ment at Baptist Bible College here. Grundy says his primary job is choosing the quartet's material. To pass Grundy's test a song' must have "good cadence and cordal line and a story to tell." "That's why modern songs or rock 'n' roll are no good," ht said. "The text will kill you."
