4 HKRALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falln, Ore. Thursday. May 10. 13 PAGE -A Friendly Irish Feud Flares Over Impending JFK Visit DUBLIN (UPH - A friendly feud erupted between the Fitz geralds and the Kennedys today over the visit of their famous rel alive to Ireland. The Fitzgeralds come from Skibbereen in County Cork and say they are as closely related to President Kennedy as the better known Kennedys of New Ross in County Wexford. They are the clan of the Presi- dent's mother and they plan a welcome for the President aimed to rival the cead mile faille (nun dred thousand welcomes! he will Set from tlie Kennedys of New Ross. The 'President is scheduled to visit Cork June 28. When his heli copter touches down, history will have turned a full circle for the Fitzgeralds. The President will land in the same green fields from which his great-great-grandfather. John Fitzgerald, was evicted 153 years ago and his land given to English planters. When the great famine came one of John's six sons. James, sailed to Boston where he mar ricd an Irish girl, Kathcrine Cado can. One of their children, James Fitzgerald, became famous as the "Honey Fitz of Boston politics and is the man for whom Presi dent Kennedy has named the presidential yacht. "Honey Fitz" in his turn also married an Irish girl, Barbara Hannan. Their daughter is Rose. the President's mother. The information on the FitzDer- aid family, gathered before the Kennedys were so politically prominent, was Dut together hi- Corkborn retired U.S. naval Lt. J. J. Cadogan of 1527 12th Ave.. San Francisco. He came across the Fitzgeralds of Skibbereen wnue researching his own family tree. He was startled, he said, bv the strong family resemblance of tiic insn fitzgeralds to the Boston Kennedys. He discovered three Fitzgerald brothers on a 60-acrc farm at Abbey, near Skibbereen. Earl Raps CD Project As 'Hoax' PORTLAND (UPD-A Portland city commissioner said today tliat in event of a nuclear attack fall out shelters would become "cre matoriums." Stanley Earl, a longtime oppo nent of civil defense, replied sharply to criticism leveled Tues day by Gov. Mark Hatlield at a legislative cutback in state CO funds. Earl, in a talk at a City Council meeting, called civil defense "a hoax" and "a fraud." "I think it's time the governor told the people of Oregon the facts about nuclear war," he said. Portland councilmen have voted to cut out civil defense funds and the legislature cut the state's agency from an 18 to a 3-member staff. Said Earl: "The City of Port land has spoken. The I Portland' people have spoken at two elec tions. Castigating such people, as the governor did . . . calling them 'peace-at-any-price' people, is not good." Hatfield, in charging I Ik? legis lature with failure to uphold pub lic responsibility, by cutting CD funds, said. "The peace- at- any price dan will rejoice at this de cision. Those who support strong military preparedness have failed to come forth." Earl told the crowded council chamber civil defense "gives peo ple a false sense of security." He said that in World War U bombing of Hamburg, more per sons were killed inside shelters than outside, dying of suffocation and burning. "I'm saying that in the event of a nuclear attack these fallout shelters will become crematori ums. "Civil defense has a responsibil ity, the government has a respon sibility and the governor has a re sponsibility to tell the people what would happen to both sides in the event of an attack." Earl said. California has cities with! populations exceeding 50.000; New nrk has 19.

But it appears he is being urged to do so by at least one per sonal friend, Cork-born Msgr. J O'Mahony, Catholic pastor of Palm Beach. Fla. Tlie Skibbereen Fitzgeralds say that if the President can't come to them, they will go to him in Cork City. Toothpick Cannot Be Patented As Own Invention WASHINGTON lUPI'-A favor. ite story at the U.S. Patent Of- lice is about the man who walked in. put a sliver of wood on tltc desk and said he wanted a patent on the toothpick. He didn't get it because of a special provision in tlie patent laws. You cannot obtain a patent on something that has been pub licly described in a newspaper, a magazine or a book, The tooth pick has been described so many times that a patent never has been issued on it and never will be. But if vou can come up with some variation on the toothpick, vou can get a patent, and tliere is one on the market now. It is described as a "tooth space cleanser and gum massager." Vou dampen tlie piece of wood, stick it between your teeth and massage the gums. Patent Office officials long ago ceased to lie surprised at the things people invent. It is not tlie function of the office to pass on the economic potential of an in vention, but merely to determine whether it is novel or new. A farmer who obtained a patent on a pair of spectacles for a near sighted rooster got tlie same courteous consideration as Alex ander Graham Bell did when he invented the telephone. Many Strange Patents But over the years some strange things have been patented: A fly swatter pistol. When you pull the trigger, a long spring in the barrel uncoils and hits the fly on the wall. A grape fruit shield, lt is a plastic shield which is placed over the sliced half of a grape fruit, but is enough smaller than tlie grapefruit to allow a person to use a spoon. When the juice flies up, it hits tlie shield instead of going into your eye. A woman's hat that blows soap hubbies. A tube runs from the bat to a bulb which the lady holds in her hand. She can win friends and influence people at any time merely by pressing the bulb and a large soap bubble w ill float out of her hat. A labor saving device for children in cold climates called "a snowball machine." The child packs a tube with snow, presses a plunger, removes the cap of the tube and a snowball pops out. A spoon made out of pastry. When a child is through using the spoon, he eats it. Inventor Poor Judge An inventor frequently is a poor judge of the potential of what he has made. Joseph F. (Hidden of De Kalb, III., appar ently had no great hopes when he received patent No. 157,124 in 1874 for something he described as "an improvement in wire fences." What lie had invented was barbed wire and the ranch ers on tlie Plains bought it as fast as it could be produced. Elias Howe, who was working in a machine shop in Cambridge. Mass., was a victim of public indifference. He invented tlie sew ing machine. People were so un impressed that Hone did not bother to patent it in the United States, but sailed for England in search of backers. A corset man ufacturer bought the English pat ent from him end hired him to manufacture the machines. Four years later Howe returned to the United States and found that people were pirating his in vention all over the coiuitry. He entered upon one of the longest scries of litigation in his nation and won every suit he filed. Howe died a millionaire, but his unhappy experience had done something to him. To the very day he died lie kept building small, queer machines. Nobody, including Howe, could figure out how they could possibly be of any use.
