HOLLYWOOD IN Thirteen
years ago Mrs. Mildred Alexander
built three cages and put them
in the back yard Of her small
stucco home on busy Ventura
Boulevard in the San Fernando
Valley. Then, in the front yard,
she erected q sign.
The sign said: motel for cats. Z
Today, prosperity having long

now called cottages. There are
nearly 20, including . honeymoon

Feline guests take their ease on

become the place for cats Of class

It has been q second home to
Clark Cables Siamese and Arthur

Donlevy have treated their pets
to the luxury Of Mrs. Alexander's
care.
A cat owned by Adrian and ia

Mrs. Alexander, is allergic to the
beasts, although he dearly loves
them. He got around this by bring

in two about 1870 miles southeast
of here today with the possible
loss of 13 men.
The Coast Guard reported that
the 5-500-ton tanker carried a
crew of 30 men. 1t said II had
been picked up by a Norwegian
ship, the Emu.
At Miami. the Coast Guard said
it had accepted an Atlantic Fleet
Mine Force offer to divert four
destroyer-type ships to assist in
the search for the missing. They
were expected to reach the scene
about 5 pm. (EDT) today.
The Emu radioed the Coast
Guard that it had picked UP one
lifeboat of crewmen and had
taken other crewmen from the
floating wreckage. But it added
that one lifeboat was still missing.
Two crewmen refused to leave
the wreckage, the Emu added.
There was no immediate ex-
planation why the two had re-
fused the leave. Under maritime
law, a wrecked ship can not be
claimed as a salvage prize as long
as crewmen remain aboard.
The Emu also reported that a
Coast Guard rescue plane also had
flown over the area.

Better government is to be had

Can we reasonably expect to

Thinks Rival Should Read
Speeches More Carefully

Frankly. I resent the charges
that imply that either my hon.
esty or my fidelity to public
trust would be diminished by
election to an Office I revere. I
had not expected that from the
general and I will not repay
him in kind, but I would thank
him to read more carefully
what I don't believe he would
write himself.
Moreover, you'll forgive me If
I gag a little when Republican
politicians don the ill-fitting
mantle of self-righteousness
and deliver holier-than-thou
sermons on morality. I've read
enough Of our history to re-
member the shameful periods
after previous wars, the Civil
War and the First World War.
In those periods the Republican
Party was in power. That fact
does not condone the revela-
tons of recent cases of faith
lessneSs. And I don't condone
them and never will. either in
public life or private.
Finally. let me suggest to our
Republican friends that it is
time for a change in that old,
tired, meaningless tune about
time for a change. It has been
used every four years, and
it hasn't started any dancing
in the streets yet.
What we really believe in, I

continuous change of the bet

We believe in it because we,
the American people. believe
in ourselves.
We believe in our ideals and
in the necessity for justifying
our exalted position in this
world.
And finally, we believe that
with prudence and patience,
with a sense Of dedication, and
with Gods help we can give
enriched meaning to human
destiny.
/ am grateful to all of you
who have rallied to my support
in this vast undertaking. I have
learned that the greatest, per-
