The Eagle-Gazette Is For It Lancaster Happenings Taken From The Daily Eagle Filet Hal Boyle Says NEW YORK (AP)-The latest, golden boy in the entertainment producing field began with an aluminum touch.

He helped work his way through college selling pots and pans from door to door. "That was more valuable than anything I learned in class," Martin Ransohoff said. "It taught me the value of contacting people, to know what they think and want." At 30, he became the youngest chief executive of any corporation listed on the American Stock Exchange. Now at 35 Ransohoff, who is built like a balding bumblebee, is one of television's most successful producers and is buzzing his way to the top in motion pictures. As a third string in his his firm also turns cut commercial and documentary films.

He hit the video jackpot three times with "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Petticoat Junction" and "Mr. Ed." To critics who regard Ransohoff as "the king of cornbelt comedy," it will come as little consolation that he is planning more network situation series on the same level of folk laughter. "It doesn't make any sense for our organization to diversify with serious dramas," he said. "We are geared to comedy." In the motion picture world, Ransohoff is mushrooming with equal rapidity. He is engaged in a cross-country word battle with MGM studio heads over his wish to include a frontal shot of four live nudes.

Such arguments leave the stubby little producer unperturbed. He thrives on controversy, and is more than a mite disdainful of criticism. Son of a New Orleans coffee importer, Ransohoff adventured in food brokerage and automobile marketing and worked as a free lance writer in Europe before turning to producing. He operates on the theory that the job of a producer is to find the actual entertainment market, then satisfy it. If the people want pots and pans, he thinks it is pointless to try to sell them gold-plated bookends.

"Is there an audience? That's, the first question to ask," he said. "If you lose sight of that, you're in big trouble." By Sylvia Porter Your Money's Worth ARUBA, N.A.-They call this island a Touch of Dutch. It is part of the Netherlands Antilles, a coral banana fifteen miles off the coast of Venezuela. The natives speak their own language: Papiamento. It is a patois of Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and French-with music.

The Dutch own the island and, a few years ago, Prince Bernhardt stayed in the room at the Aruba Caribbean Hotel where this is being written. It overlooks a blinding white beach edged with the jade of the Caribbean and, up and down the strand, there are thatched huts. Far off, the sea fades into lime, topped with fleecy balls of whipped cream. Behind the hotel is a windmill, and a small mountain called Haystack. These are Dutch, but the rest is pure Pago-Pago.

Aruba is a busy place. There are as many palm trees as It is only 20 miles long, but, on the southern tip, Esso has one of the world's great oil refineries and, 4n the middle of the island, one can hunt gold by turning stones over and looking for nuggets. THE NATIVE women are stout and very dark. Every little house seems to have a garden of hibiscus and bougainvillaea, and the shutters are in yellows and oranges and blues. There are boulders bigger than bungalows and parakeets grow wild among them and imitate all the other birds on the island.

The Arubans make drinking water from the sea. They, condense and purify 6,500,000 gallons a day and it comes out so pure that it has no taste. So they filter it through coral to give it a slight flavor. They have a prison too an old fort but the walls are falling because crime is infrequent and consists mostly of drunken sailors chasing girls in a seaport town called Saint Nocolas. My credo is to the contrary.

When sailors stop chasing girls, they should be arrested. i ARUBA IS also the home of the Div-DM tree. It's a papling about 10 feet high. The branches grow at right angles, as though hit by a hurricane. The natives call it The One-Way Tree.

4 There is no taint of Castroism here. The people' are content under Dutch rule, and they admire their govennor, recently appointed by Queen Juliana. He is a young man named Oscar Henriquez and he is so democratic that, when his children got measles a few weeks ago, he got them is natural that, in an island paradise which is neither Dutch nor Spanish nor Portuguese nor French, that the Aruba Caribbean Hotel should be managed by an Austrian named Henry Steeber. In one of the villages there is a temple called Beth Israel. Most of the other churches are Roman Catholic, although suspected that they might be called Dutch Reformed Cha Cha Cha.

'-y MY WIFE AND I would not be here except that we discovered that K.L.M. flies jets from New York to Curacao (the adjacent island) in three hours and 40 minutes. This is no longer than it takes to drive from Times Square to Atlantic City, or from Los Angeles to San Diego, although Aruba is in the Torrid Zone, and those other places are only torrid by inclination. The roads are mostly unpaved and rural and everyone drives slowly because wild goats roam the roads and hills. I watched a group of -them walking the top of a broken wall which was once a mill for placer gold mining.

-The place has gone from two-legged ones. Many of the Dutch houses have hex signs. These, at one time, were supposed to ward off evil spirits. Today, they, are used for decorative purposes. So say the Dutch, with! their fingers crossed.

We watched a Spanish man sit on a small house wall playing a guitar. In a few minutes, he had part of the village at his gate, listening and swaying. THIS IS the only place in the world where cactus is grown to make a border around property. It grows so close that, from a distance, it looks like a green picket fence. The biggest concession to Dutch influence is in the use of tile.

It is on floors, on walls, patios everywhere. And always in bright designs. There is true integration here, but the natives are a little bit snobbish. They prefer to remain among themselves, although they send 21 per cent of their children to school to learn to speak Dutch. The only recreation on the island from which the natives are excluded is the gambling casino.

The roulette wheels, dice tables and one-armed bandits are for tourists. The government protects the citizen from tha visitors' vice. Other than that, the native is welcome wherever he goes. He knows that the, white man has air conditioning and television; he just can't understand why. With a little push, I could become a education soar during this decade? i Then, says David Packard, president of the Hewlett-Packard a generous contributor to higher education in recent years, "government must necessarily assume the responsibility.

Yet, government can only give what it has first taxed away. "Increased government support means increased financial contributions from business only in the form of taxes rather than direct giving." Business "In Debt" To Colleges American business today is failing to pay $100 million a year of its "fair share" of support to our nation's colleges and universities. THIS ACCUSATION is valid despite the fact that in 1962 corporations contributed a record $200 million to higher education, up from $150 million in 1958 "and comparing with a minor $24 million only 15 years ago. This indictment holds despite the fact that, for the first time in history, education has displaced health and welfare as the leading beneficiary of corporate gift-giving and corporations account for 17 per cent of all outside voluntary contributions to higher educational insititutions. This default can be substantiated despite the fact that the growth in some corporation donations has been enormous and these corporation gifts dramatize what one executive calls "one of the greatest leaps forward in philanthropy that the world has ever seen." Were these comments coming EXPLOSION NOTE Science fiction writers have long been intrigued with the idea of using space travel to colonize other planets as a means of relieving overpopulation of the Earth.

However, the Population Reference Bureau, a private organization concerned with population trends in the world, doesn't think it's a very igood idea. In order to hold the Earth's population stationary, the bureau says, it would be necessary to shoot 7,000 people off into space each hour of each day of each week, etc. Presently, it is estimated that it would cost about $3 million per space passenger. On this basis, it would take about $500 billion a day to get rid of excess world population, a figure that probably would be considered high, even by the standards of government spenders. contribute its fair share in the years ahead, its annual donations will have to rise to $500 million or to more than double the present level.

Why should industry take on this burden? At a national conference a while ago, representatives of 44 top U. S. corporations signed "A Statement of Conviction" which says it bluntly: "Business and industry, as major beneficiaries of American higher education, should, in their own self-interest, assume a responsibility, to contribute their fair share. "THEY EMPLOY almost half of all college alumni. The overwhelming percentage of senior management of the major companies (86.5 per cent) is college-educated.

Business concerns benefit from research carried on in university laboratories. They advance through new knowledge nurtured by our colleges and universities. Higher education has helped importantly to raise the standard of living in America and to increase the demand for industry's The key point is that almost the entire load of corporation aid to higher education is being carried by the equivalent of a handful of companies. Only about 3 per cent of our companies have any educational aid program of any kind. Today, 64 companies are contributing a full one-fourth of the total corporate aid to our colleges and universities.

"A few top companies have done an excellent job of building and expanding educational programs," says Dr. John Pollard, research vice president of the Council for Financial Aid to Education. "They have stuck to their commitments in good times and bad. But it is still an elite movement. This fact is as serious a problem as the whole business of financing higher education in the United States today." WHAT IF industry doesn't assume its "fair support to higher education? What if other private sources cannot fill the gap which will widen as the operating costs of higher FORTY YEARS AGO Dr.

Elizabeth Allison of New York, traveling physician for the YWCA was speaker before the Quota Club at a dinner meeting in the Elks Home.

For their contribution to the war effort, the National Honor Society had set $100,000 as their goal in the sale of war bonds and stamps during the school year.

This was the first project of its kind ever undertaken by a local high school group. This amount would pay for one-third of a Flying Fortress or for almost all of an ambulance plane.

But the indictment is from industry's 1 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF PICTURE CLOUDED Democrats won most of the contests in the recent elections around the country, but they have little to crow about. The voting for the first time-reflected northern white reaction to militant integration moves and most of the sips tended to confirm estimates that the issue will work against the Democrats at the polls. This was true In Kentucky where a Democrat squeaked through despite notable white voter defections from the party in the hinterlands.

In Philadelphia, a Democrat won the mayoralty race by a smaller margin than in other recent contrasts, with the falling off attributed to Democratic defectors in precincts where there has been racial unrest. In both localities, however, political experts noted a rise in the Negro Democratic vote partially offsetting the loss of white voters. As far as the national political picture is concerned, there is no statistical basis for hope that the larger Negro Democratic vote will offset white voter defections in the presidential elections next year. And there is every cause for Democrats to be concerned over the degree of voter loss they will sustain over the issue of integration. It easily could be the" decisive factor in the 1964 election outcome.

On the other hand, the presidential election race is clouded for Republicans, too. Their trouble stems' from the threat of a serious split between the conservative and liberal wings of the party. If the liberals should succeed in an expected drive to "stop" the candidancy of Sen. Barry Goldwater, the militant right wing of the party could well stay home on election day. They've done it before.

Whether such would eventuate, and whether the GOP defectors would offset the Democratic defectors, throwing a second term to President John F. Kennedy, only time will tell. One of those researchers who doesn't care how he spends his time comes up with 'a dubious bit of history concerning Alexander the Great. According to this researcher, Alexanber whipped up a crude timepiece for his soldiers, consisting of a chemically treated cloth worn on the left forearm. Under the heat of the sun, the cloth changed colors every hour, providing the Macedonian warriors with the world's first wrist watch.

Among historians, adds the researcher, the device is known as "Alexander's Rag Liquor Raid Clears Floating Boat Case NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. (AP) Hancock County authorities apparently cleared up jurisdiction over a floating Ohio River boat tavern when they conducted a liquor raid against the operation Monday. When the boat appeared on the river several weeks ago, West Virginia and Ohio law enforcement officials were unsure which state had jurisdiction.

Steel. INDUSTRY itself estimates that It should contribute as its "fair share" 25 per cent of the outside support needl by higher education each year. Today, the total outside support needed is running at $1.25 billion and it will be up to $2 billion by 1970. Had industry contributed its fair share of 25 per cent in 1962, its donations would have amounted to $312 million instead of around $200 million. If it is ot TheyH Do It Every Time tefjlpfMejet If.

Sa eololet Ott9 By Jimmy Hatlo Hose brilliant ideas that sit you right up in bed in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT" Somehow are not so earth-shaking WHEN LOOKED AT IN THE COLD LIGHT OP THE WORKING DAY- A retired old banker sauntered down the main street of a Southern town on a cloudless Spring day sporting a big umbrella. "I'm not the eccentric you take me for," he explained to a young friend who had been eyeing him suspiciously. "Fact is, with my arthritis, I need a stick to help me walk. If I carried one, people woud pity me for becoming a helpless old man. I prefer having them say, 'Look at that fool with the umbrella!" Dr.

Pullman, the society dentist, extracted a rich' patient's infected tooth, and send her a bill for $25. "That's too much money," she protested, "for a job that took you exactly seven minutes." "You should have brought that point up sooner," the good doctor told her. "I could have pulled the' tooth more slowly." At a stockholders' meeting of a big steel combine, a lady who probably had just seen a revival of "The Solid Gold Cadillac," rose to demand of the chairman, "Exactly what duties is a chairman of the board expected to perform for the princely salary he earns?" The chairman waited for the laughter to die down, then ventured, "I'd say that a board chairman is roughly the equivalent of parsley on a platter of fish." "MY, MY," reminisced a bogus old party at a sportsmen's dinner. "The tigers I shot in my, day in the wilds of Africa!" "Very interesting," interrupted a disgusted listener, "but there don't happen to be any tigers in Africa." "Of course not," agreed the old party without batting an eyelash.
