4 Bettftoe tfolty Stin, Bwttrlcp, Neb. Mon. Feb. 3, 1964 Reading Thrives on Other Media DON OAKLEY: Americans, who have admonished In the past for being cultural illiterates, are reading more now and liking it better. Results of a nationwide survey by American Library Association show that consumption of both fiction and nonfiction is rising at least according to reports from 84 library systems in cities of 35,000 to 40,000 population.

"It is apparent that Americans not only are reading more each year, they are reading more seriously and are selecting more significant literature," says David H. Clift, executive director of the ALA. In fiction, there was a shift during 1963 away from westerns and light romances toward historical, biographical, psychological, political and mystery novels. In nonfiction, science and technology, health, travel, education, business and international affairs were favorite topics, Significantly, rather than competing with libraries for people's time, the communications magazines, radio, television have generated much of this new interest in serious reading. Librarians credited coverage by mass media for a growing awareness of and interest In the world about them on the part of library patrons.

Not only news stories book reviews in newspapers and magazines stimulated demand for library materials. Footnote of interest in an election year: Out of 30 libraries, 23 said this interest reflected a growing conservatism in their communities. Seven claimed it reflected a growing liberalism. Drew Pearson Letter tells how farm financed WASHINGTON Gen. Dwight D.

Eisenhower, answering a question by Lou Gordon of WXYZ Detroit about gifts to the Gettysburg Farm, replied last week: "This is one man's tissue of lies." He was referring to a column published this writer on Jan. 25, reporting that the Gettysburg Farm had been financed by three oilmen, the late W. Alton Jonees of Cities Service, George E. Allen of Washington, and W. G.

"Billy" Byars of Tyler, Texas. As to whether the facts in this column were a tissue of lies or the truth, I quote a letter from Gen. Arthur S. Nevins, Ike's farm manager, dated Jan. 28, 1958, addressed to both Allen and Byars, with a carbon copy to Jones.

The letter begins with the salutation. "Dear George and Billy," proceeds to discuss part ol the farm operation, and then continues: "New subject funds for the farm operation are getting low, so would each of you also let me have your check in the usual amount of $2,500. A similar amount will also be transferred to the partnership account from W. Alton Jones' funds. "I bought an exceptionally fine cow, a daughter of Eva's Bandolier Lad, Karama family, at the Thomasville sale, but I can handle her purchase price from our normal operating funds.

We have sold 4 steers recently for 3014 cents and will have some more to sell soon. "With warm regards to all of you." In the left-hand corner of the letter Is a notation that a carbon copy is being sent to W. Alton Jones. NOTE Mr. Jones, a close personal friend of former President Eisenhower, later was killed in an airplane crash at Idlewild Airport while en route to visit Ike at Palm Springs.

A total of $61,000 was found in cash and travelers checks in his brief case and his wallet after the crash. Joint Banking Account Aside from the above letter, there is clear evidence that the Eisenhower Farms were financed by Jones, Allen and Byars. E. Donald Scott, a former implement dealer and a leading Republican of Adams County, hap stated that he was paid by checks on an AIlen-Byars account in the Gettysburg National Bank. Victor Re, the Gettysburg contractor who built the $30,000 showplace barn for the Eisenhower Farms, said that he had been paid by checks from a joint Allen-Byars account, also that he had built three smaller barns on the Eisenhower Farms at a cost of around to $8,000 a piece, abo paid out of the Allen-Byars checking account.

Robert Hartley, assistant farm manager, a graduate of Penn State University of which Milton Eisenhower was once president, is an expert on Black Angus cattle. He said thar his salary was paid by Byars and Allen, as well as those of the hired hands on the place, which number between five and ten. Asked specifically if Byars and Allen paid General Nevins' salary, Hartley replied: "I guess you'd say that." Later he firmly repeated that the two oilmen, not Eisenhower, were the source of General Nevins' salary. Although the evidence noted above does not appear to be exactly "One man's tissue of lies" there is another conclusive way of establishing the source of the money which paid the upkeep of the Eisenhower Farms namely, Internal Revenue. Tax agents refused to lei the three oilmen take business deductions on their payments to the Gettysburg Farm.

They were ruled to be gifts. The Senate Rules Committee, now probing the Bobby Baker scandals, has the power subpoena the tax records of the three oilmen from Internal Revenue. Sen.

mm inside tbe Rules, Committee The Upper Room The Seventh Day Adventist preacher in Norfolk is starting a class of instruction in a "Five Day Plan to Stop Smoking." He came to Norfolk from Massachusetts where he conducted five such classes in the Greater Boston area presumably before The Report. In Albany, N. a tobacco shop has started a class in pipe smoking for ladies. Meanwhile, the list of reformed cigarette smokers, who swore off right after the Surgeon General's scary report, already is beginning to dwindle. The Grand Island Independent has new projects for those who have kicked the cigarette habit.

"Brother, you're still abusing your system," proclaims this editorial evangelist. "Better dup that steaming cup of delight down the drain. A recent study indicates that coffee and heart disease are related." Once you've kirked the coffee habit, you can start on saturated fats and caloric intake no candy, butter, potatoes. "Better yet, stop eating entirely. With every bit you're taking in traces of chemical pesticides.

But most important of all stop breathing. The air over our cities is loaded with pollutants that are corroding away your lungs and related innards. But enjoy yourself. Otherwise, high blood pressure or hypertension will get you." Back to the first paragraph pipe smoking classes make more sense than most non- pipers might imagine. It takes no experience to smoke a and very little to get the most out of a cigar.

But proper pipe smoking is an acquired talent. Some pipe smokers just fill up the bowl, put a match to it and puff away. But serious pipe smoking has become quite a cult. There are a number of techniques which have general acceptance, but on some points there is large disagreement. The tobacco should be not too moist and not too dry but there is difference of opinion on what is too much.

Some like the tobacco cut fine, some cut rough, and some in between. There's even difference of opinion on just how tightly to pack the bowl. Choice of tobacco mild or aromatic also offers a wide range. Everyone agrees that you must "break in" the pipe just right, smoking it slowly and down to the dottle, until a "cake" begins form. There is no dispute about how to light a pipe.

The match should be rotated (I prefer a counter clockwise motion, although that is optional) so that the tobacco is lighted evenly across the top. Draw in easily so that the burning embers do not descend too fast. As a matter of fact, the draw should be gentle to the end, to get a slow, easy burn. Never refill a hot pipe. It used to be the fashion to see how thick a cake you could build up in the bowl, but nowadays that is considered juvenile.

Ream the pipe regularly. Pipe cleaners must be used after every few refills. The pipe still will get ripe in time. If you can smell an empty pipe from across the room, it is ripe and ready for major maintenance. Remove ithe stem, and clean pipe and stem well with pipe cleaners soaked in pipe cleaning solution.

Then put pipe, stil' disassembled, in a windowsill overnight. Selection of a pipe is the most serious business of all. Novices will be swayed by appearance. Experienced smokers are much more interested in how the pipe smokes. Many models are offered with interior plumbing supposed to assure a dry smoke, but most of the purists want no obstruction from bowl to mouthpiece.

The most expensive of the imported pipes are without plumbing. So you see, ladies, smoking a pipe is no simple business. If you intend to take it up, it would be wise to enroll in the best school you can find. Pipe snobs may judge your sophistication by your technique.

Future of Chairman Miller Republican leaders have agreed to postpone until July a decision on whether to oust dynamic Congressman Bill Miller as chairman of the Republican National Committee. A special study conducted by ex-Chairman Meade Alcorn recommended that Miller be replaced by a full-time, paid chairman. As a part of the study, Alcorn made a confidential survey of Miller's law firm in Buffalo, Miller, Farmelo, Adanu and Stenger, to see whether or not he needed a salary.

This is caused by the changes in hormone secretions associated with puberty. In some boys, the breasts mny even be slightly sore when this enlargement first occurs. The enlargement usually lasts from a few months to two years and then subsides.

If this is understood and proper reassurance Is given, self-consciousness or embarrassment can be minimized. In extreme Instances, some form of treatment may be advisable. Mala hormones have been tried, but without success. The only satisfactory treatment is surgical removal. If this Is done, It should be performed by plastic surgeon who will restore the normal contours, and leave an inconsplcknis scar.
