Ciro Customer Protests
$28 for Bottle of Scotch;
Owner Puts Him in Jug
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Uh—
Is $28 for a bottle of scotch too
much?
Not at Ciro’s, that plush Sunset
Strip bistro, contended owner
Herman D. Hover at the munici
pal court trial of Richard Shubert,
35, New York. Hover made a citi
zen’s arrest of Shubert when the
fishing tackle manufacturer re
fused to pay for the bottle Sept. 14.
“I charged him only $1.25 a
drink for that scotch,” Hover tes
tified Friday, “while most places
charge $1.50 or $1.60.”
Waiter Oliver Kreiziner, who
served Shuter and Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Pavich of Los Angeles,
said, “the next thing I knew the
check and Shubert had gone to
jail.”
Shubert testified he thought $28
for a fifth of scotch whisky was
too much and just wanted an ad
justment of the check.
“I just thought I shouldn’t be
thrown in jail because I think I
was overcharged,” Shubert said.
Judge Henry H. Draeger told
the jury to return Monday when
he will give them instructions.
FANTASTIC MUSHROOM
DEARBORN, Mich., UP)—George
T. Rudy, a restaurant owner,
stumbled across a 15-pound mush
room on a farm in southeastern
Michigan. He was hunting squir
rels.
The mushroom was 34 inches in j
diameter and eight inches high.
“I was afraid to pick it up,”
Rudy said. “It looked like some
thing out of this world. I though
it was a wild animal or some
thing.”

i Hawaii Statehood
! Dependent on GOP,
| Says Senator Murray
HONOLULU, (tf)—Sen. James E.
Murray (D-Mont) said Friday the
responsibility for whether Hawaii
gets statehood next year rests on
the present Republican adminis
tration.
|
If it “will give assurances, as
did the previous Democratic ad
ministration, that Alaska will be
treated fairly and on the basis of
equality, then Hawaii can become
the 49th 'state next year,” the 79
year-old senator told more than
300 local Democrats at a party
given in his honor.
He said the Democratic admin
istration supported statehood for
both territories in 1950, although
it seemed certain the islands
would send Republicans to Con
gress.
“Contrast that truly non-parti
san approach with the attitude of
the present administration with
respect to Alaska, which has been
heavily Democratic in the past.
Judge for yourself . . . which pol
itical party it is that is playing
politics with statehood,” Murray
said.
Utah Officals Having
Hard Time in Latest
Anti-Polygamy Drive
SALT LAKE CITY, UPV—State
and local law officials say Utah’s
latest drive against polygamy is
likely to be a lengthy, difficult
chore—despite a rolling start
made this week with charges filed
against four men.
“It’s difficult getting the evi
dence against these people,” said
State Atty. Gen. E. R. Callister Jr.
“because for the most part none
of them practice polygamy openly.
And a lot of them have wives in
different houses in different sec
tions of the city—or of the state,
for that matter.”
Callister commented as Salt
Lake County officers continue'd to
look for two men already named
in complaints accusing them of
“unlawful cohabitation.” Two oth
ers named in similar complaints
have been arraigned and released
on bond.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON -
The planet Jupiter is now very
close to the beautiful constellation
called Leo or the Sickle. The star
that Jupiter is closest to in this
fine constellation is Regulus, a
white star that marks the handle
of the Sickle and the heart of Leo.
Jupiter is now brilliantly visible
in the southeastern sky about half
way from the horizon to the ze
nith.
There are many indications of a
dense and extended atmosphere
encircling Jupiter. Many changes
take place in the markings called
belts and spots. The giant size of
Jupiter gives it the attracting
power to hold all gaseous mater
ials originally belonging to it.
The depth of the atmosphere on
Jupiter must be in thousands of
miles. The dark bands may be due
to some substance in the planet’s
atmosphere not in our own and
perhaps metallic.
In color Jupiter is said to be
bright silver.

Whooping Crane
Population Growing
LINCOLN, Neb., UR—A lineman
working near Lincoln has report
ed seeing 11 whooping cranes in
southward flight near Lincoln last
Friday.
These presumably would be
part of North America’s only
known flock of the giant white
birds making their annual 5,000
mile migration from northwest
Canada to the Aransas National
Wildlife Refuge at Austwell, Tex.
Thirteen whooping cranes, in
cluding four young-of-the-year,
were reported already at their
winter refuge in Texas Friday.
Last spring 21 whooping cranes
headed north.
This summer, Canadian and U. S.
wildlife officials located their
nesting territory and spotted six
young whoopers among them.
This raises the expectance to 27
birds, of which 24 have been
sighted.
