How To Parlay $2,500
Into A Million Dollars
SAN FRANCISCO, l/PV—How do
you go about making a million
out of $2,500?
Mrs. Vincent Hallinan, wife of
the Progressive Party candidate
for President in 1952, told yester
day how she did it in announcing
sale of her 20>-story Clay - Jones
Apartments on Nob Hill for
$1,200,000.
“It all began 21 years ago,
when I put up $2,500 for an apart
ment house at 970 Geary St.” She
said “the income eventually paid
off the $72,000 mortgage.
“In 1943, I traded it for major
ity stock in the Clay-Jones Corp.,
whose income eventually bought
out the rest of the stock. That’s
one million dollars for $2,500 and,
as it has been said, having a
million is just as good as being
rich.”
Mrs. Hallinan said part of the
proceeds will go to settle Halli
nan’s bill from the Internal Reve
nue Bureau — a figure Hallinan
specified as being “agreed upon.”
Hallinan, an attorney, served a
14-month federal prison term on
conviction of income tax evasion.

More Money Than He
LOS ANGELES, Itf) — Why
| should he pay $200 a month ali
j mony and child support, William
| M. Chapin wanted to know, when
his children’s television salaries
are more than his own?
Seeking to have the payments
suspended, Chapin told Superior
| Judge Elmer Doyle yesterday that
hs son, Billy, 12, earns as much
as $1,000 a week as a free lance
actor. Chapin added that his
daughter, Lauren, 10, gets $285 a
film as “Kathy” in the “Father
Knows Best” television series.
Chapin says he makes $460 a
month as an insurance executive.
But Judge Doyle denied the pet
ition after Mrs. Chapin testified
the children’s salaries are spas
modic and savings clauses in their
contracts keep net earnings at a
minimum.

the night (like a lion, maybe?);
the temperature dropped to a
minimum of 46 below zero and

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The orbit of Venus is tipped
slightly from the plane of the
earth’s orbit. On very rare occa
sions the planet passes directly in
front of the sun. Such a passage
is called a transit. These transits
occur in pairs. Two transits are
eight years apart and successive
pairs are separated by 122 years.
The last transit occurred Dec.
9, 1874 and Dec. 6th, 1882. They
will not occur again until June 8,
2004, and June 6, 2012.
When passing before the face
of the sun, Venus has the appear
ance of a round, black spot sur
rounded by an illuminated ring of
atmosphere. The spectroscope has
shown that this atmosphere is
similar to that of the earth, per
haps more dense and having less
water vapor and oxygen.
Venus is still the brightest ce
lestial object in our southwestern
evening sky.
