ON THE FARM FRONT By Carla J. Salxano WASHINGTON UPI — CatUe prices during the first half of 1966 were higher than last year, but producers are not So sure the cost-price markin will continue favorable over the next five or six years. The Agriculture Department’s Economic Research Service says the record rate at Which cattle are being slaughtered reflects this pessimism to the part of the cow-calf operators. An ERS economist said the way things look now the cutback in beef production won’t be as sharp as in previous years, but in two or three years supplies will be down by 8 to 10 pounds per capita. Cattle and calf numbers on farms have increased steadily since 1958. By the beginning of last year, the inventory was a record 107.2 million head. Since

then, slaughtering has set a record pace, with the total climbing to 6 per cent over last year. According to the ERS, prospects for keeping the cattle and calf inventory unchanged this year are about nil. To do this, slaughtering would have to be cut by about 4 per cent from 1965. The outlook on retail prices for the rest of the summer is for pork prices to go down and beef and veal prices to continue at present levels. Choice grade beef sold retail for an average 85 cents a pound in June 6, cents more than in May, 1965; the price of pork was up 14 cents, to 72 cents.

Lower Gas Rate Being Offered A new lower natural gas rate is being offered by Indiana Gas A Water Co. to industrial and commercial customers using a gas engine or turbine to produce mechanical or electrical energy. The rate applies to a new concept of producing all types of energy in a commercial or industrial establishment building where all the energy* is taken from a gas turbine or gas engine. According to Barry E. Russell, Greencastle commercial manager, this method will produce electrical energy’ as low as 4 ^10 of a cent per kilowatt hour. Russell points out that the economies of on-site power generation are gaining wide acceptance with industrial and commercial establishments as well as large housing complexes throughout the country. In addition to electrical energy, left-over heat from the gas engine or turbine is available for year round water heating, for space heating in winter, and for the operation of air conditioning equipment in summer. Another advantage of on-site power generation, over and above its unusually low cost of electrical energy, says Russell, is freedom from blackouts resulting from overloaded distribution systems or violent weather. When Hurricane Betsy struck southern Florida in the fall of 1965, 80% of the power went out. But the David-Williams apartment hotel, with gas turbines on the roof, maintained full services including lighting, hot water and air conditioning. A copy of the total energy schedule and further information is available at the local Indiana Gas A Water Co. of. fice.

Hollywood News By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI — Wherever Merle Oberon walks on the streets and paths of Warner Bros, studio she Is followed by a tough looking cop with a gun in his holster. It’s not that the beautiful actress is under guard. But her jewelry is. Back in Hollywood for her first movie in a decade. Miss Oberon is wearing a half million dollars of her own sparklers. They are insured, certainly, but the studio doesn’t want to take any chances. The question is why doesn’t Merle wear costume jewelry or paste and forget all the jazz with armed guards? “Because real jewelry looks very different on screen than the phony kind,” answered the ageless star. "Anyone who knows anything about gems can ten the real thing on the screen. They sparkle more than paste. *Tm almost positive the jewelry used in ‘Arabesque’ was the genuine article. The workmanship of the settings and the fire in the stones photograph with much more brilliance.” Because the jewelry is her own. Miss Oberon was concerned about safeguarding her diamonds, emeralds, pearls and turquoise stones, set in earrings, necklaces, pins and bracelets. "The studio guard Is always outside my door, here at the dressing room or at the sound stage,” she said. "When I walk to makeup or wardrobe or to

lunch he comes right along with me. “At night the stones are locked in a safe right here on the lot. But when they are to be worn to a party the guard leaves me at the gate and I’m on my own.” Miss Oberon is concerned but umvorried about being robbed. “Material things mean very little to me,” she explained. “The minute you begin to worry about possessions, you begin to look like it. Those thoughts age a person very quickly.” Fortunately, Merle entertains this point of view or she might resemble Hermione Gingold. She has as many possessions as any actress in the world. For openers she has magnificent homes in Beverly Hills, Acapulco, Mexico City, and Cuernavaca. As a society leader in Mexico, California

and Europe aha la among the world’s best dressed woman with a wardrobe to dazzle the eye.

WASHTINGTON MARCH OF EVENTS

DOVES, HAWKS AT ODDS OVER NEW "HARD LINE”

WASHINGTON STUDIES VIET NAM EC.7.&1NGS

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer YVTASHINGTON--Just how tough Is President Johnson’s new W "hard line” policy on Viet Nam? In Washington, the doves daim it la very hard indeed; but the hawks are inclined to think It la just another phase In the cycle that has produced alternately tough and soft periods in the over-all effort to bring the North Vietnamese Communists to the conference table. Every step in escalating the war has been taken reluctantly by the President, and each intensification move has occurred only when a soft approach has failed to produce a conciliatory response. President Johnson is heartened by the response from non-Communist Asian countries to his decision to bomb fuel storage facilities in the immediate vicinity of Hanoi and Haiphong. It has encouraged him to think in terms of a long-range goal of peace, based on a defeat of Communist aggression which will Pmsidtnf Johnson convince the Reds of the unprofitability of such further efforta. Heartened? This rather new line of thought is frightening to the doves within the government, as wdl as in other democratic countries. To them, thia kind of t*nr implies that the “unconditional surrender” goal in World War H lengthened the war and the doves are beginning to see parallels in. Johnson’s words in the present situation. White House and Pentagon, spokesmen point out that a sign of willingness to negotiate tram. Hanoi would bring a quick response from us and would have the effect of slowing down the war, actually to the degree that the North Vietnamese could dictate. But this faction fears that talk of teaching the Communists a lesson may he taken seriously by' them and that they will fight on beyond the point where negotiations could be started, simply because they believe there is no practical alternative for ttum. • • • • • THE POWER OF POLITICS—Margaret Broome works on the staff of House Majority Whip Hale Boggs, D-La. She is the proud owner of MacDuff, a member of Capitol Hill’s growing Beagle community. Her facsimile of the much-publicized White House pets was fed some dog food recently and bit down on what proved to be a rode. Miss Broome fired off an indignant letter to the manufacturer.

discriminating In their choice of viotims. When confronted with a human smorgasbord, they will concentrate on the tastiest dish. I had heard that before but I always thought it was an old wives’ tale, mainly because it was first told to me by an old wife. One evening when I was a child, an old wife and I were sitting out on the veranda. She was playing a mandolin and singing “Moonlight Bay.” After a while she said, “Let’s go back into the house. These mosquitoes are driving me crazy.” “They must be music lovers,” I said, whereupon she smote me on the noggin with the mandolin. Other evidence that mosquitoes have their likes and dislikes was supplied by a study made some time ago by Union Carbide Corp., whose products include an insect repellent. It showed that mosquitoes go mainly for people who are healthy, young, active and temperamental; have dark complexions, dry palms, and warm skin; wear dark clothing and strong perfume, hair tonic or shaving lotion; and bathe no qftener than once a day. On the basis of this study, the company drew up a test that people can take to determine whether or not they are mos-quito-prone. Anyone scoring between 85 and 100 would cause a mosquito tq roll his eyes, lick his lips, and exclaim “e’est magnifique.” For anyone in the 0-25

range, the reaetion would be “yuck.” I took the test and scored a 65, indicating I am in the “yummy” bracket. I am not entirely convinced, however, that this proves anything. The study may have omitted the factor that is most likely to cause a mosquito to attack. Despite my relatively high delfectability rating, I Went for years without being bitten. Then, last month I made a vacation trip to Florida. I was visiting some people who live on a lake front and one night we had a cookout down by the shore. At the suggestion of an old wife in the group, we sang a couple of choruses of “Moonlight Bay.” I haven’t quit scratching yet.

Look for the look of sweaters and T-shirts in many of the daytime fashions for fall and winter.

The “thing” for fall in coiffures is to add hairpieces for evening; some of the new ones are big cascades of hair falling to the shoulders.

* These Are Your Questions

WHAT is meant by farmer’s king disease? Farmer’s lung disease refers to a condition seen occasionally in people who work with cattle, hay and grain. When moldy grains and dusts are inhSied th* Spores of the fungus enter the bronchial tubes and infect the lungs. The symptoms of cough, shaking chills, fever and general weakness, resemble those 01 pneumonia. Fortunately, the Dr. Coleman condition responds well to treatment and rarely is fatal. Protective masks are being developed to prevent the repeated inhalation of the fungi responsible for farmer’s lung.

* • •

Can pain in the jSw joint be related to a general arthritic condition? The jaw joint and all other joints in the body can be the sits of arthritis. Mors frequently, however, the jaw joint is affected by an imbalance of the bite. Missing teeth, poorly fitting dentures, and grinding of the teeth can change the occlusion (bite) of the teeth and affect the normal function of the jaw joint Pain shooting to the ears, the

mastoid, the neck and the jaws can be caused by changes within the structure of the jaw joint. • • * Can a blood transfusion cause jaundice and hepatitis? Hepatitis as a result of 4 blood transfusion does occasionally occur. Fortunately it ia rare. The virus that is responsible may be in the blood of the donor without giving him any symptoms. When his blood is used for a transfusion the virus may incubate in the recipient for many weeks before jaundice and hepatitis appear. Donors are screened very carefully in order to insure their good health before their blood is used. New technlquee are being tried to sterilize blood with ultraviolet light to reduce to a minimum such reactions to transfusions. * * • SPEAKING OF YOUR HEALTH — A yearly “Pap” smear test is invaluable for the early detection and cure of cancer of the cervix of Hie womb. Dr. Coleman welcomes letters from readers, and, while he cannot undertake to answer each one, he will use questions in hie column whenever possible and when they are of general inferest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman in care of this news* paper.
