He began to play semi-profes- sional ball in Pennsylvania and 'was signed to pitch and play as an outfielder by the Baltimore Orioles (International League) in 1914. That same year he was sold to the Boston Red Sox of the American League. The left-hander proved to be (1914-19) a formidable hurler for the Red Sox — winning 87 and losing 44 games and winning three world series (one in 1916, two in 1918) — but in 1919, because of his hitting prowess, Ruth was shifted to the outfield. In 1920 Ruth was sold to the New York Yankees and by his batting feats he greatly helped to salvage the popularity of base- ball after the Black Sox scandal. He hit the most home runs per season for several years (1919-21, 1923-24, 1926-30), tied for -the home run lead in 1918 and 1931, and set the existing 60 home runs for one season in 1927. In ell, he hit 714 home runs m major-league play. He led the Yankees to seven pennants (1921-23, 1926-28, 1932), and the Yankee Stadium, built in 1923, came to be known as "the house that Ruth built." He was the highest-paid player of his era, but took several salary tuts befOre he was traded by the YOnkees to the Boston Braves (National League) in 1935. He played with the Braves while serving as assistant man- ager, but in June, 1935, was re- leased. He served as coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers for ono season (1938). He died in 1948.

"There's always room for come- dy," he said in his gentle, per- fectly modulated voice which has never been heard on the screen, "but I think we got out at the right time. The kind of comedy we made isn't around any more. Nobody takes the kind of care we took. We worked with the writers six months, then the writers worked alone for six months. It just isn't done that way any more." Chico (Leonard), now 66, was playing pinochle at the Players Club in Beverly Hills. "I don't live in Palm Springs," he said, "because I am not an Arab and I don't like the desert. "It's too bad there aro no theaters any more. Twenty years ago all performers had ideas and developed them on the vaude- ville circuits. But without the- atres, there's no place for comics to develop. They have no chance these days. TV is a monster. You can do an act three times and the whole world knows it and you're dead. Before. TV you could do an act for twenty years, developing it as you went along. I'm sure people 'would go to see pictures like ours. Take 'Duck Soup.' We're in a room discussing war and the bullets begin coming in. "I'll put a stop to this," says Groucho, and he goes over to the window and pulls down the shade.

The three prisoners are 'sui- cide commandos" who were members of a gang that mas- sacred a group of Israeli school- 'children and their teacher last year. Since then they have been. under sentence of death. How- ever, the army refuses to de- tail soldiers for the job and no civilian executioner has been found. There have been numerous volunteers for the task of hang- ing the 'prisoners, but all offers have come from relatives or friends of the Egyptians' vic- tims, and the authorities have refused their services. They say that they need a hangman who will perform the execution as just another job — not as revenge.

ISSUE 14 — 1958 Marx Brothers vs. Modern Comedy The matchless nonsense of the Marx brothers — Groucho, Har- p°, and Chico — has been not- ably absent from movie screens for nearly a decade. Their de- mise as one of Hollywood's best comedy acts is, in the minds of many observers, characteristic of the demise of all show-business comedy, from vaude to video. Recently, Hollywood planned a movie of their lives — the twial tribute to famous enter- tainment figures now out of fa- shion — the best-nown Marx brothers were separately inter- viewed and sounded out on the state of comedy today. "I no longer have any interest in the movies," flatly said 62- year-old Grouch() (born Julius) during lunch and a cigar at Romanoff's in Hollywood. "Even "The Life of The Marx Brothers," which M-G-M wants to film, won't have us in it, ex- cept briefly. "Comedy is tough, the totegh- est of all, a very delicate and difficult business. There aren't 25 first-class comedians or writ- ing humorists in the whole world.'The humorists of the '20s and '30s like Robert Benchley are all gone. I'm sure people would sit still long enough. to- day to watch old Marx brothers movies, if only' because nobody's making that kind of thing any more. It takes months of prepa- ration and •years, of experience. Also, you must have exactly the right writer stncl,a producer, who has faith — it's risky, to spend money on comedy. "People, laugh at completely different things. There's' nothing universal t h a t guarantees a laugh. If you're making a come- dy, you're risking a million bucks on what' people don't 'agree on. How many people are there now who can make a lot of people laugh? Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason — they should be knighted. The reason why there are se few comedians is' that they're shoved on TV and get the hell flogged out of thern every week until they disappear over the border, "There are no more Marx brothers movies," Grducho con- tinued, "because we did satire, and Satire is verboten today. The restrictions — political, reli- gious, and every other kind -- have killed satire. If Will Rogers were to come back tpday, he couldn't make a living. They'd throw hini in the clink for being subversive." At his Palm Springs, Calif. Science For Peace! The possibility of using the thermonuclear fusion reaction for peaceful power purposes is one of the most exciting scienti- fic deVeloprnents of the future. The major breakthrough is prob- ably 10 or 15 years ahead. But when it comes it will be possible to convert water into power with the reaction which pro- duces a hydrogen bomb. The United States, Britain and Russia all are doing impor- tant basic research in this field. The Americans and British ex-; change information. But the United States keeps this non- military research wrapped up in the tightest kind of security regulations. The British claim that the United States has de- layed disclosure of what they believe to be important British advances. Many American scientists be-' lieve research in this field should be free and open—that Ameri- can secrecy is, in fact, harmful to our own progress. One of these is Dr. M. Stanley Living- ston, professor of physics at Massachusetts Institute of, Tech- nology and an expert in high energy nuclear physics.. Dr. Livingston proposes that President Eisenhower implement his "science for peace" idea with 'an offer to free thermonuclear power research of security re- strictions and with a suggestion that the Soviets and the. West cooperate on this peaceful nu- clear work. This project has no military application. And Dr. Livingston says that if the United States is behind either Britain or.-Rus- sia, it is because American sci- entists are severely handicapped by Atomic Energy Commission security rules. What is worse, according to the MIT physicist, institutions - such as his are unable to teach and train young' physicists in a field which, 10 years from now, may be all-important Physicists now doing graduate work, he says,, should be allowed to grow up' with the research in such a field. the President's new science adviser, Dr, Killian, will get around soon to ekaminitig this problem and persuading the President of its potential, as a "work of peace."—Birmieg- ham (Ala.)

MERRY MENAGERIE IT PAYS TO USE OUR CLASSIFIED COLUMNS For at /east half the year, in most parts of this country, there is little excuse for not having every vase in the house full of fresh flowers, We can start with home grown daffodils and tulips in April or May and end up with salvia, chrysanthemums, petunias, asters and a dozen more in Oc- tober or November, With a little planning and plenty of variety there is no reason why our garden should not be producing a wealth of bloom right through the whole growing season. Where one wants lots of cut flowers, it is a good idea to grow an extra supply in straight rows in the vegetable garden. They will be less trouble to grow in this way as it is so much easier to cultivate,, and there will be no gaps in the regular beds when we go out and cut an armful. In some cases, too, flowers that are excellent for cutting and bouquets are not particularly or- namental as plants and the veg- etable garden is the proper place to grow them. Sweet peas are an example and gladiolus and some of the lilies. SPREAD THEM OUT First flowers to go in when soil is ready will be some extra early, things like cosmos, mari- golds, zinnias, alyssum or other hardy annuals among the flowers and a few rows of lettuce, radish, beets, carrots and spinach in the vegetable patch. No matter how soon we can start to plant,-'however, it is a mistake to do so on the same day. When one does that all the bloom and all the vegetables come at the same time. We have a wealth of bloom or a feast of veget- ables, then a famine. The experienced gardener never plants everything at once. He spreads out and thus his gar- den harvest of flowers and fresh vegetables is spread out. Careful- ly planned and planted there is no reason why we should not have something coming on from the first crocusses, rhubarb and asparagus in 'the spring right through until after the first snow fall in the autumn. . The' secret is planning, based on number of days to maturity or blooming as listed in the seed catalogue, the use of early, medium and late varieties if available, and making several plantings a couple of weeks of more apart from the seed in each packet instead of sowing the whole thing at once. GARDEN FRUITS If the garden is just an ordin- ary city lot, one is strongly ad- vised not to plant more than one or two fruit trees at most, and to get special dwarf types which come into bearing sooner than the standard type and take up much less room. And one must be prepared to spray regularly each year, otherwise it will be mostly bugs that we are growing. Better suited to the small gar- den are bush fruits like rasp- berries, currants, gooseberries, blueberries and the still smaller strawberry, and along the walls Or fence lines one can grow a grape Or two. Then there'are the Ornamental fruits, some of which like certain flowering crab ap- ples are edible enough to make beautiful jelly. The main purpose of these ornamental fruit trees and shrubs, like the quince, apple and cherry however is to provide beauty after the flowering sea- son and also to attract the birds. Most trees, shrubs and vines are planted in the spring while their buds are still dormant. The roots Should be spread out in a generous sized hole and firmly covered with fine damp soil. Keep well watered and if neces- sary staked for protection against the wind until thoroughly estab- lished. How Can I? Dy Anne Ashley Q.HOW can i remove ,yellow Spots ftent white enamel?' A.
