a committee to try and determine
why we have failed to get roads
in this length of time as a state,”

men at the top of our highway
program. I can think of four on

Jackie Robinson is
First Negro Named to
Baseball’s Hall of Fame
STAMFORD, Conn, (j¥> — Jackie
Robinson, the first Negro elected
to Baseball’s Hall of Fame, said
today he is happiest because of
the “effect it might have on
humble people like myself.”
“I am hoping it will make them
realize,” continued Robinson, 42,
now graying vice president of a
national restaurant and coffee
packing concern, “that people can
•ome from humble beginnings and
with luck and perserverance can
move ahead.”
Robinson was elected to the
shrine Tuesday along with Bob
Feller.
Robinson has a luxurious home
on the outskirts of Stamford and
commutes to his job in New York.
“No one had more humble be
ginnings than I did,” he reminisced
in his richly appointed living room
while his wife, Rachel, sat by his
side. “Why, at one time I was
practically a juvenile delinquent.
I didn’t know where my next
meal was coming from.
“And now end up like this. You
have to thank God for having a
mother like I have who taught me
right from wrong and for guiding
me to my wife.”

Tattoos are Embarrassing
LANSING, Mich. — “I can’t
wear sports shirts or short
sleeved shirts in the summer —
it’s very embarrassing,” said State
Sen. Charles Blondy, Detroit.
Blondy has a picture of an In
dian girl tattooed on his right
arm. The smiling Pocanhontas
stands out almost as showy as
when Blondy had her needled in
as a youth of 19.
That’s one of the reasons Blondy
introduced a bill in the Senate
yesterday to forbid the tattooing
of misots.
“A young fellow doesn’t think,”
he said. “He gets tattooed and
then it’s embarrassing in later
life.. “Suppose he has the name
/>t a girl friend tattooed on him,"
said die Democrat, “and then
changes girl friends.”

“We require a 50 per cent deposit
from all customer we don't know,
and 100 per cent deposit from
some we do know.”

More East Germans Defect
BERLIN (M — An informed
source reported at least 28 people
from Communist territory broke
through to West Berlin last night.
About half were women and there
were three children.
It was the largest number re
ported in many weeks. Details of
the breakout were withheld, and
official sources would not confirm
the report.
Post Office Appointments Made
The Alaska congressional dele
gation this week was advised of
Post Office Department appoint

The world is an opening envel

science still can’t fathom is—why
your pet cat says meow when it
is hungry.
A Belgian hare isn’t a hare, it ’a
a rabbit. And the jackrabbit isn’t
a rabbit, it’s a hare. Hares have
longer legs than rabbits and a
different digestive tract. Rabbits
are born hairless and don’t open
their eyes for a week or so. Hares
are born fuzzy and wide-awake.
