who squawked the most?
Your closest pals.

louSly success tul Palm
Springs Racquet Club. Let
him tell you how he threw
away a million or two:
Back in 1888 when
Roosevelt first went into Of
flee - Charlie and I, along
with other tennis addicts,
used to go down to an Indian
reservation named Palm
Springs. There was lots of
sunshine and good, clean
desert air but little else. A
couple of the hotels-I think
there were only two in those
days - had t ennis courts
which we used to sneak on
occasionally for a few sets.
The Owners Complained
Finally, the hotel owners
squawked that we were keep
ing the paying guests off the
courts. 1t became quite a
touchy thing, as I recall.
Just about this time,
Charlie and I were riding
horseback on the desert and
we passed a sign that said:
SO acres for SALE We in
quired. The price for all So
acres was $500. You pay
almost that much now for
the same land per front foot.
I'VE bought the acreage
for no other reason than to
build our own tennis court.
I remember how we hauled
sand from the Pacific Ocean
at San Pedro, more than 100
miles away. 1t was terrific
sand, the best there was.
THAT became the founda-
ton of the No. l court at
the Racquet Club and I don't
think there is a better-built
tennis court in the world
today than that first court.
1t Just GrOwed
ITO get more money, we
sold 35 of the acres for
$500 and thought we were
stealing at the time. The
contractor. a super salesman,
next sold us a swimming pool.
I started getting in over my
head. I remember telling
Charlie: Maybe you have
this kind of money but I
haven't
Charlie urged me to stick.
That's when we came up with
the idea Of inviting some of
our tennis-playing friends to
join our private tennis club.
We mailed out invitations to
about $50, fixing the initia-
ton and dues at $50. We only
got four answers. I think
Charlie Butterworth was the
first to join.
Knowing how Hollywood
operates, We upped instead
of lowered the fee. At SITS, we
got a few more answers but
just a trickling.
80 we shot the price up to
$3.50. In a matter of weeks,
we had a waiting list all beg
ging to join. A bar, of course,
was added-and the Racquet
Club began.

ever today over the ravaged
countryside.

Of lava yesterday.
Wayne Ault. a volcanologist,
estimated the lava flow covered
2 square miles Of fertile forest
lands. sugar cane fields, papaya
and coffee plantations. He said
he saw no end in sight for the
eruption.
Mr.. Ault said the rate of
lava output yesterday and early
today was twice as great as any
previous outpouring since the
eruption began January 10.
Three roaring fountains
poured. out millions Of cubic
yards of lava to form a black
crusted river about 1000 yards
wide.
A green hill used for a ceme-
terry for Kapoho Village was en-
circled by the fiery river last
night.
Lava broke through a dixie
near the cemetery hill and
headed for three cottages.
About a mile to the south, 40
beach homes were abandoned
in the face of the relentless
lava flow.
Cinder walls, $50 feet high,
had kept the lava pooling until

ment from the government in
Paris repudiating some OF the
things that the Delegate Gen.
eral had said. Specifically. his
offer of amnesty to the leaders
of the extremist rebellion was
declared to be no part of the
governments plan. On what
other points Gen. de Gaulle
might refuse to go along with
his Delegate General was not
made clear.
If Mr.. Delouvrier's speech
left many questions unan-
Swered, however, the decision
to leave Algiers was most cer-
tainly made by Gen. de Gaulle.
And if the reason for the de-
cision is still something of a
mystery, most observers see it
as the opening move of
Gen. de Gaulle's counterattack
against the threat to the state.
Could Not Survive
1t seems, in fact, that in his
customarily mysterious way
Gen. de Gaulle is moving ahead
Of the events in Algeria. BY
preparing himself for the worst
eventualities he is taking up
the strongest military and po-
litical positions from which to
deal with them.
Under the circumstances de-
scribed by Mr.. Delouvrier,
these eventualitieS must include
everything that desperate and
totally irresponsible leaders of
a rebellion may decide to do.

The tranquilizer reserpine
prescribed by your doctor could
cost you SAL or s65.83 per
1000 tablets, depending on
which company made it.
The two prescriptions are
exactly the same, the difference
being only in price and the
trade name. the Senate Anti
trust and Monopoly Subcom-
mittee investigating the cost of
prescription medicine was told
today.
Myron Panther. vice presi-
dent of the Panray Corp. of
New Jersey, said his company
can sell reserpine under the
name Serpenray to the whole
saler at $2.65 for 1000 tablets
and still make a profit. while
the CHA Pharmaceutical Prod
uctS Corp. sells it to the whole
saler under the name Serpasil
for $3.50 per 1.00o.
Ad Costs Cited
The difference in price
prompted Committee Counsel
P. Rand Dixon to declare,
This illustrates the point OF
the investigation. Is the public
paying for advertising and pro-
motion for drugs?"
Mr.. Painter testified the
main reason his firm can sell
reserpine at such a low price
is that it does not advertise or
promote the drug either in
medical journals or through
retail men visiting doctors.
! A few years ago, he said
Panray did promote it. and had
to sell the product at about $2l
per 1000 pills to the whole
