In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
This modern world talc:
Down in the Bay Area the oth
er day, a gentleman named Nor
man Perry Anderson was thrown
in the pokey for a list o offenses
against the laws of the state of
California.
He blamed California women
for his downfall.
If it hadn't been for their "in
effable" charms, he confided to
the cops who took him into cus
tody, he wouldn't be in durance
vile, charged with bigamy and
grand theft and held in lieu of
$9,450 bail.
11 all came about like this:
According to the police, Ander
son wooed two California women
both at the same time, the
story goes. One was a 53-year-old
widow. The other was a 48-year-old
divorcee.
He married the divorcee.
A few days after ilie wedding,
she gave him $300 to invest in
a vending machine company
which, apparently, he recommend
ed rather highly. A little later,
(he gave him $1,000 to invest in
a steel company.
Not only that.
She also staked him to a set of
false teeth.
So much for the divorcee.
Now for the widow:
She reported to the cops that
last January she gave the dapper
Mr. Anderson $3,500 to invest in
a San Francisco apartment
house. "He promised me that we
would live forever in a lovely
penthouse," she reported a bit
tearfully the other day. "a n d
right after that he vanished."
What about Anderson?
Well, it appears that he forgot
to tell either the divorcee or the
widow that all the time he had
a perfectly legal wife down in
San Luis Obispo whom he had
married back in 1958 just after
getting out of San Quenlin, where
he had served a term for forgery
and grand theft.
He told the San Jose cops:
"I want to get back to San
Quentin and serve out my full
term and then GET OUT OF CAL
IFORNIA. 1 never got into any
trouble in my life until I met up
with California women."
fHe had another complaint.
His new false teeth don't fit.
"THEY HURT," he told the po
lice. Question:
Can we really blame the teen
agers too bitterly for some of
their antics in an age when old
folks carrv on like that?
House Eases Education Log Jam

WASHINGTON (UPli The

Howard noted that earlier Hat

"The governor stated that the

a mess and that he washed his

the editorial said.
"Our readers will remember
that our governor refused to sign

editorial said.

A Congolese army announce

The resignation came as an es

Joint Chiefs Okay Pact
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor assured the
Senate today the Joint Chiefs ofl
Staff endorsed the nuclear test
ban treaty without any admini
stration "arm-twisting" and were
kept "constantly abreast" of its
development.
In public testimony before go
ing into an afternoon closed ses
sion with senators considering the
pact, the chairman of the joint
chiefs said:
Tne area of "high-yield" su
per nuclear weapons in which
Russia leads "has very little if
any military significance." The
joint chiefs feel use of more
smaller bombs on an enemy tar
get is better than dropping one
50 to 100 megaton weapon.
He is confident President
Kennedy will carry out "safe-,
guards" to the test pact by main
taining full lab and test facilities'
and pushing underground testing
permitted in the treaty.
Past nuclear testing has
"tended to close the gap" and
let Russia gain on the United
States in nuclear weapons. He
said that if Russia had not been
able to test she "never would
have caught up" with this coun
try. He said the joint chiefs had
opposed a comprehensive test ban
because of fear the Soviets could
cheat end test underground while
the United States would not.
Hope for Peace
There are military "advan
tages" in the limited treaty, as
well as disadvantages. Reduction
of tensions that will improve the
chances of peace Is a "military
advantage," he said, because
peace is the "primary hope" of
the military.
It is "conceivable" that Corn-
munis'. China wants to expand in
to Soviet Asia and that Russia in
signing the limited treaty wanted
to take "some small step" to deal
with the China problem.
Taylor assured the Foreign Re
lations, Armed Services, Joint
Atomic Committee members con
sidering the treaty that the joint
chiefs suffered no "unusual pres
sures" from the administration in
endorsing the pact.

Tax Writers Review Provisions
On Stock Dividend Recipients
WASHINGTON UPI - Demo
cratic tax writers, having voted
to cut everybody's income taxes,
planned today to scale down the
relief that would go to taxpayers
receiving sizable income from
stock dividends.
The House Ways & Means Com
mittee Wednesday approved Pres
ident Kennedy's request for the
biggest tax cut in history. Every
taxpayer individual and corpo
ration would share in the lax
relief starting next Jan. I. Their
total tax savings would be some
what greater than the net reduc
tion of $10.6 billion recommended
by Kennedy.
Tax treatment of dividend in
come was the most controversial
of the few remaining issues which
the committee hoped to settle to
day. The bill then would be ready

which British banks had placed
on the train so that they could
