Freeport (III.) Journal-Standard Pg. 6 Nov. 6, 1963 1 Out Of 10 Know Their Congressmen By STANLEY MEISLER Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A poll shows that only 14 per cent of the students of Bowen High School in Chicago recognize the name of their congressman. The student who took the poll is shocked. But not the Congressman.

Barrett O'Hara is unfathomable," wrote the student, Richard Aron. "Everyone identified Liz Taylor correctly." But O'Hara, a twinkling, 81- year-old man with flowing white hair, believes 14 per cent may really be pretty good. The Illinois Democrat inserted the poll in the Congressional Record published Tuesday and said the 14 per cent "is probably a high percentage since the multiplicity of representative offices. adds to an understandable confusion." O'Hara, in his statement, grew more philosophical and a little nostalgic when he noted that 91 per cent of the students were able to identify Secretary of State Dean Rusk. The congressman again disagreed with the interpretation of the young pollster, who wrote in the high school newspaper that "it's not a good thing that many of our students can't identify Mr.

Rusk." O'Hara said "the fact that more than nine out of 10 know the name of Secretary of State Rusk is remarkable and it is significant as indicating the po- lrtl uujll vycuu sition of prominence foreign pol- at his spraw ii ng!

Robert R.

McCormick, left Chicago Tuesday frustrated by labor strife in its attempt to "take on a load of grain. The McCormick was one of six Canadian ships stymied by labor troubles in Chicago waters. Shortly after the McCormick left Chicago, another freighter, the Thorold, moved into the vacated dock at Calumet Harbor. The McCormick's agent said the ship was sailing empty to Goderich, Ont. Other Canadian ships in Chicago are the Vandoc, and the Ericsson, anchored empty in Calumet Harbor; the Calgodoc, carrying a load of paper for the a name to conjure fear.

The Beverly Hills The state has two freeways- one of which happened years ago to Hollywood, and the other AP Special Report which happened recently to West Los Angeles. It wants to link them so people can get from West Los Angeles to Hollywood. To connect them, freeway builders announced that they planned the Beverly Hills Freeway mulitple lanes speeding traffic swiftly and smoothly Man Battles Mississippi For Seven Hours UNION CITY, Tenn.

Rosaland Russell and Lucille Ball went to protest meetings. Novelist Irving Stone wrote fund-raising letters for the freeway fighters. The anti-freeway Beverly Hills Improvement Association raised $60,000 almost instantly. Residents of the hill section of Beverly Hills which is, truly, one of the nation's loveliest residential areas have decided unanimously that the best place for the freeway is a mile south, under Santa Monica Boulevard. As Rosalind Russell explains it: "It's called cut and cover, believe.

They cut out the space, put the freeway in it, and cover it over. And there would be no off ramps, or onramps. Sort of like a tunnel, you might say." Exactly like a tunnel, to be precise. The Beverly Hills Improvement Association wants this cut- and cover freeway tunneled through the business part of the city, from which neither fume nor commuter could presumably escape. "There's no question but what a freeway is needed," said Miss Russell.

"But they would not have to have offramps. It would only go through Beverly Hills for a mile and a could get off before Beverly Hills, or afterward. That way Beverly Hills could be left intact." The exact route through Beverly Hills won't be selected until perhaps January, and the freeway itself probably won't be built for 10 years. The state plans, of course, to pay for any property condemned. The homes in the hillside area, where the proposed route runs, would cost an estimated $250,000 each.

Meantime, the state has to send delegates to each protest meeting to listen to the opinions of people who fear a freeway 'would harm Beverly Hills. Rt. 26 And Beltline Prices In Effect Through Nov. 10th May's Delicious ICE CREAM Regular 59c Vi Gal. 2 6 Bottle Carton 12 oz.

Journal Standard Nov. 6, 1963 Pg. 7 iVeterans Day Red Cross Sefs 1964 Blood At 765 Pints Geneva Marx of the Jo Daviess County chapter of the American Red Cross has announced that a quota of 765 pints of blood has been set as the county quota for Jo Daviess citizens in 1964. This figure was secured from the Badger Blood Bank Bloodmobile in Janesville, which also provides this county witli blood supplies.

The visits of the bloodmobilc to Galena will hope to secure 110 pints on Feb. 2 and Aug. 4, 1964; 100 pints from East Dubuque on April 28 and Nov. 10; 90 pints at Warren on March 24; 90 pints from Stockton on April 90 pints from Hanover on July 21; and 75 pints from Elizabeth on Sept. 30, 1964.

Galena failed to meet its 1963 quota and each of the other communities in the county also failed to come up to the assessed requirements. Since next year's bloodmobile visits have been announced in advance, the Jo Daviess County chapter of the American Red Cross hopes that persons desiring to donate may have plenty of time to plan according to the announced visits.
