CAPITAL TEDIES, Thursday, Dee. 29, 1960 To Produce Letter Governor's Aide Tells of Billboard Ban Popularity (Continued from Page 1) terests was revealed by a witness called by attorneys for the property owners who the law declared unconstitutional. Asst. Atty. Gen.

John E. Armstrong drew out the link in a cross-examination of Ernest E. Blanche, a mathematician from Kensington, who testified that there is no relation between billboards and highway accidents. Blanche admitted that he had prepared his statistics at the request of a Lima, Ohio, law firm and had used them in a count test of Ohio's billboard controls by the Ghaster Outdoor Advertising Co. "How much are you being paid?" Armstrong asked.

After several minutes of explanation of his fee schedule, Blanche said, "the fee for my services was $600 plus travel expenses." Blanche gave a technical analysis of a Michigan traffic study which concluded that there was little, if any, relation between outdoor advertising and traffic accidents. After completing his testimony, Blanche told reporters he was hired to appear here by Philip J. Fox, registered lobbyist for the Outdoor Advertising Association of Wisconsin. The test case was brought by Racine and Kenosha property owners, represented by Clyde Sheets, a Milwaukee attorney. Fox, also an attorney, has assisted Sheets in the courtroom.

The billboard control law was passed by the 1959 Legislature, winning approval in the State Senate by a 17-16 vote. It was scheduled to go into effect last but has not been enforced, because of the pending court case. A legislative leader said today he did not believe another billboard control law would pass the Legislature if the 1959 law is ruled unconstitutional. State witnesses testified Wednesday and today on the fects of billboards on land value, scenic beauty and highway safety. Walter K.

Johnson, state director of planning and former Madison city planner, said property owners would be "injured by an undue number of billboards." Prof. Leo Jakobson, institutional planner at the University of Wisconsin, called billboards "one of the most serious detrimental features of our environment," Prof. Jakobson, an architect, and planning consultant, testified on the esthetic effects of billboards. He was critical of those who call outdoor advertising form of art. A principle of art, he said, "harmony with nature." If this principle were followed, he said, "it would defeat the purpose advertising.

It must stand out and be separate from its background." Outdoor advertising is detrimental to the environment, said, because it is bad art "put on public display, dealing with captive audience on the public highway. We can't close our eyes to Johnson said that Madison and most communities already control billboards. Such controls, said "are i in the long-term terest of the community and state." Ben-Gurion William J. May Quit In Fauerbach LavonAffair Dies At 54 JERUSALEM (P--Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion has hinted he might resign in an effort to force still another investigation into the mysterious ouster of Former Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon, informed sources said today. Lavon was forced out of the government of Former Prime Minister Moshe Sharett in 1955 and blamed for a "security mishap." Military censorship has prevented a further description of the incident, but it is believed Lavon was accused of ordering an attack that some diplomats said caused Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser to get arms from the Soviet Union.

The cabinet approved a report by an investigating committee of ministers Sunday clearing Lavon and finding that a high army officer, whose name has not been disclosed, probably forged a document to pin the blame on the former defense minister. The investigating committee, appointed by Ben-Gurion last September, represented all parties in the government. Political sources said BenGurion refused to join in approval of the committee report and hinted he may resign, at least temporarily. At any rate he customarily takes a mid winter vacation. The informants said it was understood Ben-Gurion made the threat in an effort to force leaders of his own Social Democratic Party, the Mapai, sist on a full-scale legal investigation into the whole affair.

This would necessitate cross-examination of Lavon under oath. Earlier reports said Foreign Minister Golda Meir, displeased with -Gurion's position, also had threatened to resign but was dissuaded by Finance Minister Levi Eshkol. O.K.

Ken Higgins, Milwaukee, assistant district manager for Shell, displayed some of the fullpage newspaper ads and showed a movie on the campaign which was produced for Shell by Ogilvy, Benson and Mather, advertising agency. Shell's advertising agency this year was J. Walter Thompson. The new agency will spend about $13 million in about 300 newspapers during 1961. The newspaper ads will consist mostly of copy about the nine ingredients in Shell gasoline and about the research program and other products.

The campaign theme will be "top performance," which was chosen after surveys made by the agency of Shell customers. Higgins said the agency is now doing research on why people buy a particular kind of gasoline and what people think about the Shell Oil Co. The ads bought by Shell, he said, will be more than this year's top advertiser, Chevrolet, and will use during the year the paper from 32,000 acres of trees. They will occupy more space than all other oil company newspaper advertising combined. Higgins called the new campaign "the boldest step forward Shell has ever taken." In addition to the exclusive newspaper advertising million will be spent by the company in renovating and building new filling stations.

J. G. Jordan, Shell vice president in charge of advertising, said in the movie that the competitive situation in the petroleum industry is getting more intense because production of oil products is greater than customer demand. Compared to the $13 million which will be spent in 1961 only in newspapers, the $11 million spent in 1959 was split 28 1 per cent on billboards, 22 per cent in newspapers, 23 per cent in television, per cent in radio and 14 per cent in magazines.

Rule Crosby Is Father of Girl, 3 (Continued from Page 1) action, a unanimous verdict not required. Crosby and Mrs. Scott, 28, were instructed to return to court Tuesday. At that time the court could determine the amount Crosby will have to pay for the child's support.

But this could be delayed by an appeal. Crosby, now married to former showgirl Pat Sheehan, testified he was intimate with Mrs. Scott but could not remember details because he was intoxicated. Crosby said he had 16 to 20 drinks on the night in question. A medical expert called by Crosby's torneys said Crosby could not have fathered the child if he had drunk as much as he said.

Two other witnesses called by the defense said two other men were intimate with Mrs. Scott during February, 1957, but Mrs. Scott denied knowing either of them. Dennis never admitted paternity but said he gave Mrs. Scott $500 when she approached him and told him of her condition.

He said he later agreed to a private arrangement under which he would pay her $300 a month. When she brought suit, he was ordered to pay $350 monthly pending trial. Crosby and his wife have one child and are expecting another. He has adopted her 9-year-old old son by a previous marriage.

Judge Bucklin In Death Leap Retired County Judge Frank W. Bucklin, 80, West Bend, jumped to his death from a third story window of St. Joseph's Hospital at West Bend Wednesday, police said. Hospital authorities said the judge, who retired in 1953 after 27 years on the Wash ington County Court, had locked himself in the bathroom. He sat on the wind ledge for some Judge Bucklin time.

Marine Buddies 'Invade' Home; More On Way CHICAGO (P) Marines, from the shores of Okinawa, have started landing at a suburban Park Forest home. And the situation appears definitely out of hand. The first contingent of five Marines arrived Wednesday at the John G. Ransford home. More are on the way.

Before the old year dies, the five-bedroom Ransford home may be housing more than a dozen Marines. Donald (Butch) Ransford, 22, a Marine corporal, takes full responsibility for the invasion. He landed from Okinawa on Dec. 16 after 16 months service for a leave. He telephoned his mother and told her he had invited 32 of his buddies to her house Christmas." Fifteen, he added hesitantly, had accepted the bid.

Donald's brother, Jerry, 20, reporting five of Donald's buddies had arrived, added: "We got a telephone call from others saying a car with seven will arrive but we don't know when or from where. And then there are supposed to be more hitch-hiking from Cincinnati." Mrs. Ranstord, who at first didn't believe Donald's story, found it was true when he arrived home Dec. 19. The family started preparing, frantically.

A 23-pound turkey was cooked. A 60-cup percolator, borrowed from a fraternal group, was ready for constant perking. The refrigerator was stacked with food. A milk company offered emergency service. Mattresses, pillows and bed a clothing, also borrowed, were stacked upstairs ready for the emergency.

Neighbors heard about Butch's invitation and many brought in food. The Marines already have 10 invitations to dinner from friends and neighbors. The first big event was dinner at the Ransford home Wednesday night for the first arrivals, all from the Chicago area. Mrs. Ransford appeared going along with the gag but she doesn't know how long the boys are going to stay.

"Butch doesn't know. He thinks most of them will want to be home for New Year's Eve. I suppose they must all have homes. "Butch is a nice boy. He just doesn't have all his senses."
