Four years ago he was a successful actor; he played the lead in ‘‘Storm Operation’? on Broadway. Now a writer and producer of radio shows —‘‘My Friend Irma,” “Life with Luigi,’?” and a new one, ‘The Private Lives of Eddie and Anne’’— he is also an associate director, producer and writer of motion pictures. ‘“‘My Friend Irma’’ is his first one. ‘‘Marie Wilson steals the show,”’ he assured me; but a moCY HOWARD ment later, ‘‘John Lund is wonderful; steals the show.” He said the same of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis—but didn’t mention that he plays the voice of ‘Joe,’ heard only on the phone. CBS and Paramount are lucky to have him under contract. With M-G-M shooting sequences for ‘‘Adam’s Rib’’ all around New York pretty girls wearing dark glasses learned to avoid crowds; the interested spectators suspected them of being movie actresses. Judy Holliday, one of the principals, kept right on in her play. ‘Born Yesterday,’’ during the shooting. Tom Ewell, just through with a play, is now back in Hollywood. Another Metro picture, the musical “On the Town,” has been shooting in New York. All six principals—Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Jules Munshin, Ann Miller, Vera-Ellen and Betty Garrett, worked two days at the Brooklyn navy yard. Cast in a minor role in “Riding High,’’ Dorothy Barrett sang a song for members of the cast during a break; Director Brank Capra heard her and chose. her to sing with Bing. She has appeared in several Broadway productions and was vocalist for Vaughn Monroe’s band for six months before entering films. Her next step up isa featured role in ‘‘Copper Canyon,’’ . good.

Even in a home where the Sleep” with ‘“‘Block that kick!’’ and “Hit that line hard!’? They found it hard to think of a husky fullback as the best person to handle kids who made up their own rules as the evening went along. = It did not seem to mother that when she asked, “Do you think the baby is all right?” she would find comfort in father’s answer, ‘‘Yes, my dear. Remember that our baby sitter for tonight booted the longest punt in the 1948 season!’’ * But on more sober reflection most people decided that, children being the problems they are when.mom and pop: are out, it might be reassuring to know that they are in the hands of a baby sitter coached in a rugged school and with a good record for victory, on fields wet or dry. * Kids are quick to recognize authority. They know when they are up against heavy odds. In the manner and actions of a university grid star, they sense power, speed, determination and the old ‘‘do or die’ spirit. * Few children will try to sit up until midnight listening to the radio if the baby sitter is all-American ‘material. ry Baby is not going to whip out the airgun around 9:30 and_ take some pot shots at the old woman ‘. across the courtyard, knowing that a great broken field runner is on watch. * No kid is. going to howl for a cooky if it can see in the eyes of the baby sitter the never-yield-aninch spirit of a football man around whose end no opponent made any progress in two seasons. * All in all, parents should feel kiddies are sure to get rambunctious a crack gridiron man can detect the signals, sense the trick plays and stop the formations. Unless, of course, he is in one of those homes where there are so many children they use the double platoon system. ee Ld & Why Fans Go Mad These days in the video belts where baseball games and horse races are broadcast the same after: noon are proving pretty hectic ta sports fans. Trying to follow both is doing the American nervous system no good. We found ourself shouting, ‘‘Slide ya big bum!”’ at a horse the other day and yelling, “Stop pullin’ his head off,’ at a ballplayer. : 2 It is all quite confusing. To sea both sports, a video addict has: to be pretty fast on the switches. In a stirring ball game it is quite a trick tuning out at the proper moment to catch the horses all set in the starting gate. And in an especially important horse race splitsecond judgment is necessary in deciding when to tune out of the horse oval and into the ball park. * 2 He liked a horse on which Arcara was announced as the jockey, ‘‘Arcearo!”’ he exclaimed. ‘‘That’s ‘poor judgment. They pitched him yes. terday.”’ * Then while the race track announcer was chatting on generalities, Elmer dove back into the baseball channel. The home team had a man on second, one out and a big hitter up. It added to his pulse beat and general confusion. ‘‘Come on!” he yelled, ‘‘Don’t go wide on the turns. Ya can’t lose at the weights!” * Back to the ponies he swifched, just in time. The horses ba as alled baby,’\ ha one. Elmer liked something Mike’s Pride. ‘‘Atta cried, ‘You got your stuff today!’’ The oo ’ ict NO REGRETS ‘ iction Richard H.

Kirby, you. shouldn’t! an upturned box behind the stables crying. He hesitated, feeling awkward, then said: “Hello. Anything wrong?” She looked up quickly, appraisingly. ‘‘No, please go away.”’ Instead, Kirby squatted on his « Minute heels. ‘You must have. lost some money on that last race. Black Fox fooled every one by not coming in. I lost too.’’ Fiction “I. suppose I’m a baby to cry, but I couldn’t help it. I—we— father and I staked everything on Black Fox. Then that terrible I’ma-Runnin’, who nobody thought had a chance, had to win.’’ She hesitated; dabbing at her eyes. He seemed like a nice young man. And she did so want company and to talk . He discovered her name was Polly Hayden, The next day he called at her house and met her father, a jolly faced old gentleman with. white walrus moustaches, “We really shouldn’t feel so badly,’ Polly told her father after the introductions were over. ‘‘Kirby lost a lot mote than we and he isn’t complaining at all.” That night Polly and Kirby had dinner at a little inn out on the Tamiami trail. He knew she was wondering when and how he was going to pay his racing debts, and where he was going to get the money to establish himself in the law business. You just can’t hang out a shingle in Miami and expect business at once. But he didn’t offer the information. The next day he hired an office on Flagler street, then called up Col. Stratton and asked that racing enthusiast to meet him at Hialeah. “Colonel,’’ he said over a sandwich and coffee an hour later, ‘I’m going to take you up on the offer you made me for I’m-a-Runnin’. He’s yours for $50,000.’’ The colonel stared, ‘Now wait a minute, Kirby. Has the horse died or broken a leg or something?’’ “Nothing of the sort,’ Kirby laughed. ‘‘I’m quitting racing for getic young lawyer to be wasting his time at. I hired an office this morning.”’ They went out to the slabins and looked at I’m-a-Runnin’. The colonel couldn’t understand it, but he wrote his check for $50,000 and the papers were passed. Conscious of a queer sensation in the pit of his stomach, Kirby headed back for the stables for a last farewell. Outside I’m-aTechnicolor western. ER EYES blazed at him. ‘So! The good loser. The man who can lose everything, who will have to spend the rest of his life paying his racing. debts and still smile! Oh, what a fool I’ve been!” “Wait a minute! Listen!’’ He caught at her arm but she jerked away. He followed her out to her car. ‘‘You’ve got to listen,’’ he said desperately, getting in beside her. “I only did it because I thought it would make you feel better. And it worked. I meant it when I said I was through with racing. I’ve sold I’m-a-Runnin’ to Colonel Stratton. Look!’’ He held out the bill of sale and the check. She stared at him round-eyed, You’ll never be able—I mean, you love horses. Any one can see that. You loved I’m-aRunnin’.” ‘“‘Not half as much as I love you,” he told her soberly. He put his arm around her. ‘‘You believe that, don’t you? You must believe it.’ ‘Darling, of course I do. And— I am glad that you’re going to be a respectable lawyer, only—only—’’ “Only what?” “Well, sometime, after we've been respectable for a good long while, we'll buy another horse, won’t we? A horse as great as I’m-a-Runnin’?) Because — we both love horses, don’t we?’’ “We do,’ Kirby agreed joyfully Runnin’s stall he stopped dead still LAST WEEK'S ANSWER e SiTjuls MIAICIE ACROSS DOWN 19.

Snares 2 PUZZLE NO.) 2 WRONG GUESSERS tditors Get Poll Blame WASHINGTON.—The Americaa& Society of Newspaper Editors has been told the press has taken its most severe criticism in history for wrong guesses on last fall’s presidential election and has _ itself to blame. The postelection criticism and the reason for it were analyzed in a panel discussion on ‘‘The Press and The People’ at the A.S.N.E.’s annual convention, Panel speakers were Philip H. Parrish, editorial-page director of the Portland Oregonian; Richard J. Flannegan, the Chicago SunTimes; Tom Hanes, Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, and Paul Miller, Garnett Newspapers. N. R. Howard, Cleveland News, ‘was moderator. U. S. Editors Best The soul-searching discussion was aimed at finding out if the daily press is doing a good job of keeping the public informed. For the record, Dr. Alberto Lleras, secretary-general of the Organization of American States, told the editors the U. S. press is the best in the world in supplying information. “It has kept the public fully informed on all matters of public interest and perhaps too well informed on private affairs,’”’ he said. Parrish opened the panel discussion with a declaration that: public reaction toward the newspapers ‘thas been much more serious following the Truman election than it was following the Roosevelt election.”” He said it was serious because some critics ‘‘have shrugged, as though we were no longer soa important.” ; Blame Assigned Parrish reasoned that the press had itself to blame because it made the mistake of permitting the election polls to be carried in its pages. “In short,’’ he said, ‘‘the papers almost universally vouched for the polls as scientific, and so identified themselves with the polls.’’ He said the answer is for the press to make it clear that the polls are syndicated columns, that political conditions never really are fixed, and that the polls belong to the newspapers and not vice versa. Finnegan said the _ election guesses were so wrong because the press does not understand the mass mind and has a shorter memory than the people. “The voters didn’t let the press, the pollsters, or each other know their election choices until election day,’’ Finnegan said. New Railway Train May Revolutionize Travel NEW YORK.—A new train des: cribed as presenting ‘‘a challenge that possibly may _ revolutionize the entire passenger carrying field’’ was demonstrated by the American Car & Foundry Co., its builder. Most startling concept in the design is that the train is composed of 20-foot units, each supported by two wheels at the rear. and coupled to the unit ahead somewhat like an automobile truck trailer. Aside from this, the train is lowslung—passengers sit with their feet only 18 inches above the rails. The center of gravity on each unit is said to be 40 inches above the rails compared with 64 inches on the standard passenger car. And it is light in weight, Extén. sive use of aluminum, along with saving of materials in normal undercarriages, results in a weight estimated by A.C.F. at less than one-fourth present railroad equipment. A.C.F. spokesmen ‘said the low center of gravity and short-unit construction makes for exceptional stability and reduces the normal sway experienced on curves. In addition, the light weight re. duces the size of motive power required, with savings in initial cost and in fuel economy. Because of its lightness, the train is capable of fast acceleration. Atomic Propulsion Plans Being Pushed by America WASHINGTON.—A huge _ re search program aimed at perfecting atomic power for surface ships and submarines within five or six years is being launched, Senator McMahon (D.,Conn.) has disclosed. Atomic propulsion, it is expected, would enable ships to range the world without refueling. It thus would be a long step in freeing navies from their dependence on bases and refueling stations. McMahon said the .commission will spend about $500,000,000 at a new research project to be located at an as yet undetermined site in the West. “At the end of this research, weare hopeful we can demonstrate that mobile (atomic) power plants not only are feasible but are here,’’ he told newsthen after a meeting’ of the congressional atomic energy committee which he heads. He said there is a amount of uncertainty’ “certain to such tific research. But he added: ‘‘There is reasonable expectancy the result: will be FIRST AID to the AILING HOUSE by Roger C.

Protecting Silver from Tarnish Question: Is there any way to prevent silverware from tarnishing? Isn’t there a preparation to apply on the silverware as a thin coating to prevent tarnish? Answer: Dealers in jewelers’ supplies usually sell a lacquer for this purpose, but firms of this kind are only found in large cities. If you cannot get it, a clear lacquer, sold at a_ well-stocked paint store, can be used instead. After polishing the silver, wipe it with benzine and then apply the lacquer. .

The postelection criticism and the reason for it were analyzed in a panel discussion on ‘‘The Press and The People’ at the A.S.N.E.’s annual convention, Panel speakers were Philip H. Parrish, editorial-page director of the Portland Oregonian; Richard J. Flannegan, the Chicago SunTimes; Tom Hanes, Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, and Paul Miller, Garnett Newspapers. N. R. Howard, Cleveland News, ‘was moderator. U. S. Editors Best The soul-searching discussion was aimed at finding out if the daily press is doing a good job of keeping the public informed. For the record, Dr. Alberto Lleras, secretary-general of the Organization of American States, told the editors the U. S. press is the best in the world in supplying information. “It has kept the public fully informed on all matters of public interest and perhaps too well informed on private affairs,’”’ he said. Parrish opened the panel discussion with a declaration that: public reaction toward the newspapers ‘thas been much more serious following the Truman election than it was following the Roosevelt election.”” He said it was serious because some critics ‘‘have shrugged, as though we were no longer soa important.” ; Blame Assigned Parrish reasoned that the press had itself to blame because it made the mistake of permitting the election polls to be carried in its pages. “In short,’’ he said, ‘‘the papers almost universally vouched for the polls as scientific, and so identified themselves with the polls.’’ He said the answer is for the press to make it clear that the polls are syndicated columns, that political conditions never really are fixed, and that the polls belong to the newspapers and not vice versa. Finnegan said the _ election guesses were so wrong because the press does not understand the mass mind and has a shorter memory than the people. “The voters didn’t let the press, the pollsters, or each other know their election choices until election day,’’ Finnegan said. New Railway Train May Revolutionize Travel NEW YORK.—A new train des: cribed as presenting ‘‘a challenge that possibly may _ revolutionize the entire passenger carrying field’’ was demonstrated by the American Car & Foundry Co., its builder. Most startling concept in the design is that the train is composed of 20-foot units, each supported by two wheels at the rear. and coupled to the unit ahead somewhat like an automobile truck trailer. Aside from this, the train is lowslung—passengers sit with their feet only 18 inches above the rails. The center of gravity on each unit is said to be 40 inches above the rails compared with 64 inches on the standard passenger car. And it is light in weight, Extén. sive use of aluminum, along with saving of materials in normal undercarriages, results in a weight estimated by A.C.F. at less than one-fourth present railroad equipment. A.C.F. spokesmen ‘said the low center of gravity and short-unit construction makes for exceptional stability and reduces the normal sway experienced on curves. In addition, the light weight re. duces the size of motive power required, with savings in initial cost and in fuel economy. Because of its lightness, the train is capable of fast acceleration. Atomic Propulsion Plans Being Pushed by America WASHINGTON.—A huge _ re search program aimed at perfecting atomic power for surface ships and submarines within five or six years is being launched, Senator McMahon (D.,Conn.) has disclosed. Atomic propulsion, it is expected, would enable ships to range the world without refueling. It thus would be a long step in freeing navies from their dependence on bases and refueling stations. McMahon said the .commission will spend about $500,000,000 at a new research project to be located at an as yet undetermined site in the West. “At the end of this research, weare hopeful we can demonstrate that mobile (atomic) power plants not only are feasible but are here,’’ he told newsthen after a meeting’ of the congressional atomic energy committee which he heads. He said there is a amount of uncertainty’ “certain to such tific research. But he added: ‘‘There is reasonable expectancy the result: will be FIRST AID to the AILING HOUSE by Roger C.

Protecting Silver from Tarnish Question: Is there any way to prevent silverware from tarnishing? Isn’t there a preparation to apply on the silverware as a thin coating to prevent tarnish?
