Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A N UNWARY husband in Lansing, Michigan, came home t\. from the office one evening to find Friend Wife waiting for him with a rolling pin. “Remember those ducks you went out shooting last Saturday?” she challenged him. “Of course I remember,” he replied. "So what?” “So what?” echoed Friend Wife. “One of them called up this afternoon and left her phone number.” * * # The Tappan Zee is the old Dutch name given to a wide expanse of the Hudson River just north of the Manhattan boundary line. In a whimsical mood recently, columnist Charles McHarry rashly speculated that the name originated via an elderly Dutch dentist in Tarrytown back in the days of George Washington. Said dentist specialized in metal dentures, and to demonstrate how securely they fit, he would invite patients to insert them themselves, then “tap
an’ zee.”
This inspired reader Sam Heffner to assert that in 1789 a plague of roaches descended upon a section of Westchester which won it the name of Roach Hell. Natives promptly shoveled thousands of dead insects into trucks and dumped them willy-nilly into an adjoining community. The cleaned-up town, of course, was now renamed New Roach Hell, and the place where the damping occurred was yclept Mount Vermin. This sort of thing, once it gains momentum, is sometimes hard
to stop.

Two deaths in separate accidents Tuesday raised Indiana’s 1967 traffic fatality toll to at least 1.067 compared with 1,139
a year ago.
One other death involving a motor vehicle was not counted immediately as a traffic fatality because it may have resulted
from illness.
Robert E. Patrick, 54, Owensboro, Ky., was found dead early Tuesday night in his tractor-trailer which had run off Indiana 66 near Evansville.

Nigerian troops shell capital LONDON UPI —Nigerian federal troops today began shelling the breakaway eastern region capital of Enugu from positions on the outskirts of the city, the Commonwealth Office reported. A spokesman said the federal forces moved up to the city before dawn. Reports from the scene said the rebel troops were putting up stiff resistance as the federal troops advanced along one main road to Enugu. Enugu is the capital of the eastern region, which broke away from the Lagos government May 30 and declared itself the independent Republic
of Biafra.
The Lagos government announced immediately afterward that it would crush the breakaway region unless it ended the
session.
Col. Odumegwo Ojukuwu, military chief of the Enugu regime, refused to heed the or-: der and federal troops soon began moving on the region. Federal ground forces have advanced steadily on the capital of the oil-rich eastern region. Officials in Lagos said Tuesday that federal forces were poised for a final thrust into the city that would end the civil war.
The vehicle, which stopped In a field, was not damaged and Patrick, a diabetic, showed no visible signs of injuries. Authorities believed he suffered a seisure before the truck left
the road.

Governor talks to commission INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Governor Branigin told the new commission created to study and recommend governmental reorganization that the bipartisan approach to employment has “worked well.” The new commission, headed by Phillip Sorensen, Columbus, held its first meeting Tuesday as a closed-door session in Branigin’s office, lasting for about three hours. Afterwards, the governor said that he assured the new commission he has no intention of dictating to it. However, he said he will provide it with the funds and facilities needed to make the study and recommendations required by a 1967 law for presentation to the 1969 Legislature. Branigin said the discussion covered the entire area of state government, including person-
nel.
“We discussed difficulties we have had in certain areas of merit, and we discussed the bipartisan plan as used by the state police, data processing, auditing, revenue and other state departments,” the governor explained. “The bipartisan plan here has worked well.” The governor said the discussion touched on the fact some agencies might be combined for greater economy and for better control. “We talked of the constitution and the importance of not casting its important parts aside just because the constitution is old.” Branigin said. “We talked about better controls' for federal grania.”
