Recently I've been going to an excellent barber right here in the Tribune Tower. He doesn't talk baseball at all, and in fact doesn't say much of anything. You can sit in his chair and doze off JESSICA MITFORD ON PROPERTY WHICH BELONGED $100,000 is "starting price" for mile-long, half without once having to profess interest in that great game for children or be startled awake by his asking you how you think Sanford is doing on the mound. Our relationship has been one of mutual understanding, which is nice considering a barber draws a straight-edge razor up and down your neck and could do you in with one hiccough.

1 I 0 0 0 0 we live in changing times, BILL FISET But and in an era, it hurts to, confess, where the male seeks eternal youth as avidly as does the female. Many barber shops now are known as men's hair styling salons and do a brisk business conditioning, tinting, toning, shampooing and razor cutting or scissors cutting men's hair. And nothing in the world is-more ridiculous than to witness three Or four normally, masculine Oakland businessmen huddled in the back room 6f such a salon under hair dryers. They look like spacemen with metal helmets all reading last week's magazines, and all being fussed over by barbers you'd guess were formerly women's hairdressers by their mannerisms. Thus I wasn't surprised this week to get a call from a barber named Lynn.

Davis. I'd have, guessed his real name was Bill Davis except on the phone his voice seemed too high even for the most effete hairdresser. Then, of course, it turned out Lynn Davis is a girl which explained the high voice, and she was a hairdresser but 'finds she more enjoys working on men. FOR SALE SCOTTISH ISLAND COMPLETE WITH FARMHOUSE This is the "elegant retreat" of Inch Kenneth, "Greenest Island in Scotland" Jessica Mitford to Dispose Of Scotland Sea Property TO HER TITLED FATHER mile wide island Redesdale, a Fascist and friend of Adolph Hitler. "According to Redesdale bought Inch Kenneth so he could retire Jhere.

But then World War II broke out, and the lord was declared a security risk and banned from the island. Inch Kenneth, it appears, was close to shipping lanes. "Lord Redesdale actually disinherited Miss Mitford because she was NOT a Fascist. He left Inch Kenneth to a childless son, and when the son died, each of his five sisters received a share of the island, Treuhaft said he and his wife acquired the other shares a few years ago. Miss Mitford's mother continued living there, breeding Shetland ponies and raising about 100 sheep.

But the mother died last year, and now Inch Kenneth, its chapel, its farmhouse, and its Crusaders are up for sale. State Colleges Working Toward Mid-Road Approach By DICK RICCA Tribune Education Writer ROHNERT PARK (Sonoma County) California's state colleges are working toward a middle-of-the-road approach to the training and preparation of teachers. State College Chancellor Glenn S. Dumke said yesterday the new approach should be in operation at all 18 state colleges by the 1965-66 academic year. "Local campus faculty com mittees are in various stages of changing their teacher-training programs," Dumke said.

The changes are required to implement provisions of teaching credential reforms instituted by the State Legislature in 1961. GREATER EMPHASIS The law passed by the legislature is designed to place greater emphasis on subject matter training in the prepara tion of future teachers. The 1961 law has been inter preted in many quarters as an effort to downgrade education al methodology" or courses on how to teach. But Dumke indicated yester day he disagrees with this interpretation. "This isn't a black and white situation," he said.

"It is important that teachers be trained in subject matter areas they are assigned to teach, but they also need to be trained how to teach them. OPPOSE ACTION The Legislature's action in 1961 was vigorously opposed by most professional educators throughout the state. professors ot education on some local State College campuses have continued to carry on their opposition, but Dumke pre dicted yesterday that education and academic faculty members are coming closer together in their points of view. "I have high hopes that this will lead to a new approach, rather than the ascendancy of one point of view over the other," Dumke said. Dumke made his comments in a special interview yesterday during a break in the monthly meeting of the Board of Trustees of the California State College System.

During their meeting, the trustees authorized Dumke and his staff to apply for federal loans amounting to more than $40 million for the construction of student residence halls at various local campuses and for construction of student unions at San Diego and San Jose State Colleges. RENTALS TO REPAY The loans for the residence halls would be repaid with student rentals. Students at San Diego and San Jose have voted a special student body fee to retire the student union loans. Trustees also decided to cut the number of meetings they hold from 10 down to eight meetings a year. The action was taken to allow more time for interim commit tee meetings when trustees and administrators of the state-wide college system could devote more time to an "in depth" study of various problems under their jurisdiction.

Copies of the manager's letter were given the Oakland City Council yesterday. That was two days after the council, in approving scaled-down signs for the movie, had blasted the screen itself as a distraction to free-wheeling traffic. The flashing images on the Coliseum screen will be visible far down the freeway, they agreed. They also criticized the city staff for permitting the screen to be built at that ancle and for not calling it to the council's attention. The screen, 66 feet tall and 100 feet wide, is practically completed and the drive-in south of High Street is slated for opening soon.

"This comes as quite a surprise to us," said Jack Haight, Syufy's regional manager. "We'll cooperate by any means we possibly can." He said the firm's architects will examine the site anew to see what can be done. Haight told the council the screen is of intricate construe tion and cannot be tilted around further away frtftn the freeway. "The entire theater is laid out in line with the screen," he said later. The city manager also presented an amendment to freeway sign ordinance which would specifically prohibit drive- in movies Deing visiDie iree-way motorists within Vk miles.

The council suggested Syufy try a "series of baffles," or blinders, or some other concealing device to obstruct drivers' view of the show. Jack Taylor, building and housing department administrator, termed the drive-in screen "a beast," but defended his building inspectors who ok'd the project. The screen application and plans were reviewed by staff people, he said, but added, "I don't think a field inspector could be a judge of whether it would be disturbing to motorists." "I wouldn't leave it up to a building inspector. The police department or a traffic engineer should decide." In other action, the council granted an exception to use permit for a shopping center at 2210 Mountain Boulevard, even though a resident protested that the center already has an unauthorized sign up on the site. tary of the a 1 a YMCA, said, in his report, that the number of people between the ages of 6 and 26 in the area served by the Oakland would double in the next 10 years.

In calling for action to prepare for servicing this increase, Thune urged, "We had better aim high because we'll get no (higher than we aim." George Bliss, president of the Oakland asked those present to work daily to "give youth courage, faith and vision." John Holland served as master of ceremonies. quotes a British friend as saying, "Who wants property in Scotland? Nobody wants property in Scotland unless they're shooting (hunting)." But the island does seem to have some attractive features. It's basically all pastureland, with bluffs on one side and shell coves on the other. It has two tiny appendages known as Sandykirk and Innersk. One farm is located on the island.

"It's a delightful place in the summer time," says Treuhaft, "and windy in winter." He adds, "It has its own elec trical plant, but no telephones. When an important message comes, they hoist a flag on the Isle of Mull and you row over and get it."

Some of the fill, which would be adjacent to the highway, one-half mile west of the toll plaza, could be garbage, according to Army plans.

Louis Linenburg, civilian engineer at the terminal, put it this way: "We'll use dry materials if available, others if not." HIGH APPROVAL Xinenburg today said the project already has a "highest Army approval." Money for the project, however, depends on Congress. Also, Terminal officials have aid they would not proceed against strong Oakland opposition. At the earliest, congressional funds would come by 1969, the engineer said. Linenburg said the fill program as outlined in Army plans might also use terminal refuse and Bay bottom materials produced by Army channel dredging. 12-YEAR PROJECT -Terminal officials already have approached the Oakland Scavenger Co.

on its willingness to undertake the fill as a 12-year project. Representatives of the terminal and the scavenger company were present at a council meeting yesterday when city Mgr. Wayne E. Thompson recommended against the project. Thompson said such a dump risks the possibility of attendant wind-blown debris, and added that bird and rodent problems would be within 150 feet of the 120,000 cars that daily use the "gateway to the city." TREE SCREEN A scavenger company; attorney, Edward H.

Moore, said the have a tree screen up by next toll bridge authority will have a tree screen up by next year which would block the roadside dump from view.

I settled into the chair and she took up one of those long, rat-tailed combs and flicked it on my crown in such a way a flap of hair fell aside and revealed a small spot where skin could almost be detected.

Jessica Mitford, author of the "American Way of Death," is selling one called Inch Kenneth. It's off the isle of Mull, close to the Firth of Lome, and not far from Tiree, Coll, Muck, Eig and Rum. The mile-long, half mile-wide island is located in the Hebrides off the coast of Scotland.

Two famous visitors once called it "The Greenest Island in Scotland." Bids are being invited for its sale "starting at $100,000." "Losing it is very sad," admits Miss Mitford, "but there's nothing very practical to do with it." She and her husband, Oakland attorney Robert Treuhaft, will visit Inch Kenneth this summer for "a last look." The island contains a 9th century chapel, intact except for its roof. It has its own private graveyard, which includes the remains of at least six Crusaders. And it is mentioned in books by those two famous 18th century companions, Samuel Johnson and James Boswell. They called it the "Greenest Island in Scotland." It is described in Johnson's "A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland" and in Bos-well's "Tour of the Hebrides." Johnson even wrote a Latin ode about Inch Kenneth, titled, "Insula Sancti Kennethi." In his book, Boswell commented, was very much tak en with Inch Kenneth. I said I was resolved to have it for an elegant retreaf for our family during a month or two in summer.

I really indulged seri ous thoughts of buying it." Asked who would want to buy the island, Miss Mitford quotes Boswell's comment. Her husband chuckles and E. 11th Street and a block of Third Avenue, surrounded by the present Laney campus. The council referred the request to the city manager and took another swipe at Peralta's intentions to develop a hillside Redwood campus for a junior college. Councilman Robert V.

Probably combing -my hair that way was something subconscious I fell in the habit of doing, using two mirrors at home and two combs.

"And," she added, "we should give you a tint today. You'll look much younger if what hair you have left is all the same color." A tint, indeed, the slight flecks of gray on the temples are mefely marks, from my life of torment, first during the war and then at the hands of a succession of editors.

The two city -owned tracts, along with Laney, are part of a proposed Civic Center junior college campus. Peralta would like a 3-year, lease with option to renew. The Peralta board said the sites mostly would house portable classrooms. One parcel is across 10th Street from Laney and the other is an acre on Eighth Street, just west of the Lake Merritt canal.
