Texan Throws Russian Embassy Into Confusion Through Neighborly Visit TOKYO (P) — These Russians could use a little back porch friendliness. Where I come from, the latch string is always out. But the Russians don't have any latch strings and the one I talked to today hadn't even heard of Texas. I live just a block from the Russian Embassy so I dropped over for a neighborly visit. Well, the way they acted, you'd have thought I had come to snoop. They have a big layout with a high concrete wall and ramparts. At the front gate, a young soldier, carrying a rifle, signaled for me to wait. He made a telephone call and then stood around inspecting me, curiously. When I offered him a cigarette he said: "Impossible." After three or four minutes of trying to chat with him I gave up. He wouldn't talk. Then a man about 30, with tousled, tawny hair strode out. He wore civilian shirt and trousers. "What do you want?" he asked. "I live down the street and thought I'd come over and pay a social call." "I do not think I understand," he said. "There's nothing hard to understand about it," I said. "I'm a neighbor of yours—I live right down there—and I'm just dropping in for a neighborly visit." "What is your name??" I told him. And then asked: "What's your's?" "It is a Russian name," he said. "You would not be able to pro-cided it was time to leave. As I went out through the gate, I offered my soldier friend another cigarette. "Impossible." But he smiled. 'Nobody Loves Me' Shouts Naked Man On Prison Roof LONDON (P)—"Nobody loves me," shouted the man on the roof of Wandsworth prison. With that he took off his clothes, climbed into a chimney to cover part of his nakedness and for 90 minutes yesterday defied police efforts to get him down. The man, a prisoner, broke free while being exercised in the prison yard. Wardens finally pried him loose from the chimney by putting ladders up two sides and using one as a decoy while a cop sneaked up behind the prisoner on the other.

"I'm a neighbor of yours—I live right down there—and I'm just dropping in for a neighborly visit." "What is your name??" I told him. And then asked: "What's your's?" "It is a Russian name," he said. "You would not be able to pronounce it and it is not important. What is the purpose of your visit here?" "I just came over to meet you folks," I said. "You will wait here a minute," said he, and went back inside the building. I offered the soldier a cigarette. "Impossible," again. Five minutes later the man in clvies came back and said: "You wish to see the Embassy?" "That would be mighty fine," I said. "Come with me." He led me into a vaulted reception room. "Wait here a few minutes," he said. He left me alone with a magazine—in English—with Joe Stalin's picture on the cover. Presently my guide came back and said: "We will show you the front of the building but not any portion where the personnel live." He led me outside. "You are an American?" he asked. "I'm from Texas." "What is Texas?" It's just the biggest dam state in the United States," I said. flipping out my Texas driver's license. Suspiciously he said: "This card says you are an 'operator.'" That means I am allowed to operate a motor vehicle." I explained. "Who runs this embassy?" "Who is in charge?" Yes." The name is well known," said he, cautiously. "Not in Texas," I said. "It has been published in the press." Well, what is his name? General Kislenko," the guide whispered. A guard who had been watching from the doorway, beckoned to the guide.

(AP)—A plucky young woman from Sweden battled cold Pacific waves for six hours last night after a canoe overturned. She was rescued but her two male companions were feared drowned. Miss Brita Eriksson was found swimming a mile offshore. The overturned, aluminum canoe was nearby, but she said she had not been able to use it much for support because of its light weight and the heavy waves.

It's one thing that makes you appreciate a really clean beach. The State of California and the County of Los Angeles apparently feel much the same about it. All you have to do is visit one of the "Sanitized" beaches at Huntington Beach State Park, Zuma Beach, Manhattan State Beach, El Porto or Redondo Beach and you'll see what we mean. The State and County each own a huge 18-ton Beach Sanitizer, a giant machine which chaws up beach sand like a harvesting machine going through a field of wheat . . . and leaving behind a ribbon of sugar clean sand. The Sanitizer is a product of Southern California and was developed at a cost of $52,000, requiring two and a half years of research and engineering. The Sanitizers, which are more than 30 feet in length and are hauled by powerful diesel caterpillar tractors, are now being manufactured by the Stephens-Adamson Mfg. Company of Los Angeles and Aurora, Ill. Cost of Boatride To Owner Set at $229 by Police Harry James Coffman, Los Angeles, today had to pay the county assessor and the sheriff's office $229.43 before he could go riding again in his motor sailor at Newport harbor.

Some Vets May Get Separate Life Insurance Checks Veterans who have held more than one National Service Life Insurance policy between 1948 and 1950 may expect separate dividend checks for each policy in the currents payment of the second GI dividend, the Veterans Administration today reminded veterans. Payments on the second dividend began nearly three months ago, an over a quarter of a million checks have gone out, the VA said. Over a hundred million dollars has thus been sent to qualified veterans. It is estimated that around eight million persons will participate in dividend payments. Total distribution is put at about $685,000,-000 by the time the operation is completed. Veterans eligible for dividends on their National Service Life Insurance are those whose policies were in force for three months or longer between their anniversary date in 1948 and the corresponding date in 1950. Bulk of the accounts will be paid between three and four months after the anniversary date of the policy, it was stated. Persons who have not received payment are cautioned against writing unnecessary letters to the VA; as this may slow up the payment procedure. When a check does arrive and a veteran believes the amount is wrong, he is advised to write to the VA District Insurance Office handling the account. Full name and address and insurance policy Cost of Boatride To Owner Set at $229 by Police Harry James Coffman, Los Angeles, today had to pay the county assessor and the sheriff's office $229.43 before he could go riding again in his motor sailor at Newport harbor. The sheriff had placed a padlock on the boat, moored at the Balboa Bay club, because Coffman had failed to pay his 1950 tax bill of $210.91 on the boat. By the time Coffman paid off, the sheriff's attachment costs added another $18.52 so the total bill was $229.43. It was the first time that County Assessor Maurice Enderle's office has attached a boat for nonpayment of personal property taxes. The case was turned over to County Counsel Joel Ogle's office, where attachment proceedings were filed. Fire Isolates 50 Families Near San Luis Obispo SAN LUIS OBISPO (P)—Wind-fanned flames roared uncontrolled over more than 5,000 acres of mountainous brush land today, isolating an estimated 50 farm families east of here. Some 100 red-eyed fire fighters, including 50 prisoners from Soledad prison, battled the day-old blaze in an almost inaccessible mountain chain on the Los Padres National forest, 20 miles northeast of here. District Forest Ranger Nolan O'Neill said the fire, whipped by 25 to 30 mile-an-hour winds most of Sunday, was the fastest moving blaze he had seen. Winds were quieter through the night. Strike Cancels Lurline Sailing SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Wilted bouquets and crumpled bon voyage packages were carted off the luxury liner Lurline today, testimony of a lost sea trip for 750 vacationers. The tourists lost the voyage months after the anniversary date of the policy, it was stated. Persons who have not received payment are cautioned against writing unnecessary letters to the VA; as this may slow up the payment procedure. When a check does arrive and a veteran believes the amount is wrong, he is advised to write to the VA District Insurance Office handling the account. Full name and address, and insurance policy and service serial numbers should be included by the veteran. Anaheim NSGW'ers Prepare Barbecue Members of Mother Colony No. 281, Native Sons of the Golden West, are busy preparing for their fourth annual old fashioned pit barbecue to be held Tuesday evening, July 24, at La Palma Park, according to Ralph Beatty, president. As in previous years, Lawrence Lemke is general chairman of the committee in charge of preparation and barbecuing the meat for this event which is open to the public. Tickets must be obtained in advance from members of the committee, which includes Ralph Beatty, Leonard Schwacofer, Lawrence Lemke, Alexis Pelous, Henry Plou, Clark Smith, S. James Tuffree, Loren Wagner, Harold Ries and Frank Salveson. Set for Friday SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. and representatives of some 9,000 strike-threatening CIA telephone operators meet in further peace talks today to discuss wage demands. Joseph Deardorf, western regional director of the CIO communications workers of America, said last night the strike deadline has been set for 6 a.m. Friday. Hollywood Bowl Goes on Rocks; Folds for Season HOLLYWOOD (P)—Hollywood bowl, one of this community's four cultural events, is on the fl Strike Cancels Lurline Sailing SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Wilted bouquets and crumpled bon voyage packages were carted off the luxury liner Lurline today, testimony of a lost sea trip for 750 vacationers. The tourists lost the voyage to Hawaii when Matson Lines cancelled the sailing of its big white ship Saturday, more than 24 hours after the CIO National Maritime union threw a picket line around the pier. Most of the 750 passengers, many of whom had bought their reservations nearly a year ago, dejectedly turned homeward. Only a few found passage to Honolulu on other lines or on airplanes. Some cooks like to use a piece of fine cotton cord for cutting hot Boston brown bread to serve with baked beans. Keep the string taut between your fingers for quick cutting with no crumbly edges. Hollywood Bowl Goes on Rocks; Folds for Season HOLLYWOOD (P)—Hollywood bowl, one of this community's few cultural assets, is on the financial rocks and has folded operations apparently for the season. The Bowl's closing came abruptly Saturday night after the first week of the new season. Directors of the huge 21,000-seat outdoor theater made the decision after an extravagant production of the operetta "Die Fleddermaus" flopped and left the Bowl association at least $23,000 in the hole. Jean Hersholt, association president, said however: "I am pretty sure that no one will have to take a loss. But we could not do this if we had carried on with the expensive nine-week season that had been planned." Hersholt said he will name a committee of seven to reorganize the operation and prepare for "future resumption of activities." How soon that would be, he didn't say. This was the 30th, and shortest, season of symphonies under the stars. The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., was founded in 1869 and is devoted primarily to American Art.
