FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. z. EDGAR

When James Bryant
Conant retired as president
of Harvard University in
1858, the Harvard Corpora

in THE Happy Life Of Q Doc
tor"
I'VE unanimously agreed
upon Nathan Marsh Pussy,
Harvard SO, who was presi-
dent Of Lawrence College at
Appleton. Wisconsin. After
the corporation had agreed.
of course the overSeers had
to assent. I called President
Pusey and told him Of our
decision. He said:
"'I shall be proud to ae-
cept. with the understand
ing that the overseerS have
to give their assent
"Mr. and Mrs. Pusey came
East for his 25th re-
union. All this time, the
overseers had his election by
the corporation before them.
A member Of the board came
to me and said:
"Does anyone know II

The surgeons considered
that the overall results of
surgery in the patients oper-
ated on for protruded lumbar
discs were excellent in 43 per
cent; good in 81 per cent; fair
in II per cent, and poor in
6 per cent. They had few
surgical complications and
no operative deaths.
Note to Mrs. B. Of Miami,
Fla: The fact that you have
five boys and want a girl baby
very much is understandable.
AS for your chances Of having
a girl or boy, they are not
increased or decreased by
your past history Of "all girl"

Il am coming to the cli-
max of q long and pleasant
career in the school business.
! retire in January at IS.
II have never been q
teacher. I was concerned with
selling and supplying the
equipment schools need. For
a time I held administrative
jobs in schools, but mostly
I have been q company man
with briefcase.
II have some money and
when I retire my wife and
I wish to settle in a Midwest
college town. Life will be
pleasant and without contro-
versy.
"Our basic income will be
1925 q month. We own our
house and we have roughly
$4,000 in good common
stocks. We have $1,000 in the

pany savings plan. I have q

Renting First Urged
Rent first in both places
for maybe a year. Then If you
flnd the college town is really
what you want you will prob
ably live and die there. A
college town has stability for
older people. At the end of o
year consider selling your
house and buying in the new
town, but not with q mort
gage. Put no more money in
the new house than you get
from the old.
Should we keep our $l2,-
900 in StockS?"
I wouldn't. simply because
you have to keep your eye on
stockS-even good ones. An
insured savings and loan
association or bonds your
broker can recommend will
pay as much or more return,
and they cause you less trou-
BILE. Your stocks would prob
ably suffer less from infia-
ton; but with your income,
and at your age, you prob
ably wouldn't be hurt much.
Should we leave the
$1,000 in the employe credit
union and the company saw
tngs plan after I retire?"
If the credit union is man.
aged by employees maybe
you'd better get out because
you'll no longer have q look

for the company savings
plan. there seems no point
in 1t unless you're getting

Mickey Cohen
 Witnesses Fatal
 Dinner Shooting

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., R II A man police call the biggest bookie in the San Fernando Val ley was shot dead in a restaurant Wednesday night only six feet from a table occupied by former bigtime bookie Mickey Cohen.
 Cohen said he didn't do it and he doesn't know who did.
 Police say Jack F. Whalen, 59, alias Jack O'Hara, of nearby En- cino, strode into the restaurant, walked up to the table next to Cohen's and punched a man in the nose. The man drew a postol, shot Whalen in the head, and walked out.
 Whalen had a police record ex- tending back to 1888. He had been convicted of sWindling, bookmaking, assault and battery. He was free on $5,0O0 bail while appealing a recent extortion con- viction.
 Police Chief William Parker himself, plus his top aides, sped to the scene - Rondelli's Restaur- ant on Ventura Boulevard. Off cers began picking up known hoodlums by the score for ques- tioning.
 Cohen told police that a man he doesn't know was seated at a table six feet away when Whalen, whom he said he also did not know, walked in. He said he saw the blow, struck without word. He said he thought the man fired two or three times. Police said there was only one shot.

EGG Orders .BrOadcasters
 Report Payola

WASHINGTON, R - The Fed eral Communication Commission yesterday ordered every broad casting station in the country to report promptly whether any pay ola practice has figured in it's op- erations during the past year.
 The directive went out to 5,236 stations. It covers both commer- cial and educational outlets in the standard radio, FM radio and tel evision fields.
 The FCC order requires that the stations file sworn statements not later than January 4, cov- ering station operating since No vember 1, 1858.
 Payola is a term covering pay ments for promoting records.
 Officials said the object of yes terday's order is to trace down the handling of "sneaky commercial" = plugs on the air which are paid for but not so identified.
 The officials noted that the fed eral communications act specific ally requires that all matter put in the air for which a remunera- ton has been paid to anyone must be identified as a commercial.
 Penalties for violations could range from commission repri- mand to a license revocation pro- ceeding. In addition, the commit nications act provides for criminal penalties up to $10,00O fine or one year imprisonment, or both, for ''willful' violations of any of it's sections.
 The new EGG action growing out of investigations into rigged TV quiz shows, payments to disc jockeys to plug records, and hon esty in TV advertising, precedes hearings the EGG will begin Mon day on its powers to regulate the content of broadcast programs.
 Another agency, the Federal Trade Commission, is making an extensive investigation of alleged payoffs by recording companies to disc jockeys to promote their records.

Canadian Divers Set .Wet-Suit' Mark Off Taku Glacier

VICTORIA, B. C., R - Ten Royal Canadian Navy divers re- turned here Tuesday after mak- ing what was believed to have been a world-record mass dive 175 feet below icy Alaskan waters.
 The dive took place November 24 more than 800 miles north west of here but was kept secret by the Navy until the divers re- turned to port.
 The divers, ranging in rank from lieutenant-commander to able seaman, were said by their commander, Lt.-Cmdr. Ben Ack- erman, to have set world record for naval personnel wearing self contained "wet suit" equipment
 Purpose of the dive was to prove practicability of Wv e t suits" in extreme depths and ex- treme cold.
 Temperature of the water off Taku Glacier where the dive took place was 30 degrees, two de- grees colder than the freezing point of fresh water, and half degree more than the lowest re- corded temperature of salt water
 Only two other divers are be- lieved to have dived deeper. They are two San Diego scien- tists who dived 180 feet in "wet suits'' in the Boring Sea.
 The men slid down the anchor cable of IIMCS Fortune, one of four Pacific Command mine sWeepers which had previously been engaged in joint maneuvers with the United States Navy in northern waters.
 Suits for the dive were made of 14-in foam neoprene and indi- vidually tailored to each diver.
 They are called ''wet suits'' be- cause water actually penetrates the porous synthetic rubber gar ment and comes in contact with the skin of the diver. Advantage of the suits over those made of non-porous material is that they provide greater freedom of move ment and, in some cases, more warmth

Plane Grabbing Brazil Air Force
 Officers Light Out

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, R Brazilian Air Force officers seized at least three planes in Rio yesterday and flew off in a northerly direction, apparently in revolt against President Jusceline Kuzitschek.
 The Ministry of War went on a state of alert and War Minister Henrique Teixeira Lott with gov ernment figures. s. Kubutschek placed Lott in charge of the na- tion's defense.
 Government sources compared the flight to the picket revolu- ton" in 1850, shortly after Kubits- chek took office, when an Air Force major, captain and sergeant seized an emergency air strip in the Amazon basin and took con- trol of the town of Santarem. They held out for 18 days before capitulating, and were granted amnesty.
 There was one report that four planes were involved. Both yer sions said the planes were C-47s. One source said all the planes were loaded with Air Force officers.

ANNAPOLIS, May 6 (AP) =
Senator Louis N. PhippS, Dem
ocrat of Anne Arundel, yester-
day declined appointment to

cries Commission in order to
continue his service in the Leg
islature.
In a letter to Gov. Tawes.
the Annapolis automobile dealer
said he was yielding Ito the
requests of the overwhelming
majority of my friends and
constituents"
But he said he will continue
his intense interest" in tide
water problems and natural
resources and will work for
pollution abatement, small boat
regulations and increased pro-
duction of seafood.
Gov. Tawes named Mr..
Phipps to a six-year term on
the commission in his Green
Bag" appointments han d e u
down February rs. The Senate
Immediately confirmed the APP
pointment to be effective in
May with expiration Of the
term of Republican Fred P.
Close of Baltimore.
But the General Assembly
later abolished the current
three-member commission ef-
fective June /, and replaced 1t
with a five-member group and
an administrative director.
Senator Phipps had indi-
Gated at the time of his APP
pointment that he might turn
it down if the commission was
drastically reorganized. At that
time, Gov. Tawes' revamping
plan was only a rumor.
John P. Tawes, a republican
and present chairman of the
commission, is serving a term
which would have run until
1861. Democrat John R. Jewell,
third member of the commits
sion, has been appointed COM

when Mr. Shacklette took the

In response 10 a question, Mr..
Shacklette said this happened
on July Z. Just before Mr.. Har-
ris denounced the investigator
at an executive session Of the

Both Mr.. Shacklette and Jack
Anderson, an associate Of
Columnist Drew Pearson, had

the period the subcommittee
was questioning the Boston in
