What’s the Difference, Doc?
A Chicago nightgown manufacturer has challenged Dr. Alfred Kinsey’s reported statement that 50 per cent of American women sleep in the nude. The manufacturer said his firm had interviewed 345 women, discovering that 169 wear pajamas, 150 like nightgowns, eight go in for night shirts, and the remaining 18 sleep "raw."
Obviously the two gentlemen weren’t interviewing the same women. Who can tell? Perhaps the nightgown manufacturer was the one who talked to the typical girls.

Obviously the two gentlemen weren't interviewing the same women. Who can tell? Perhaps the night-gown manufacturer was the one who talked to the typical girls.
Bill Veeck's Oversight
When Bill Veeck shook the dust of San Francisco and Los Angeles from his shoes, after exploring the possibilities of shifting the franchise of his St. Louis Browns to California, he said gloomily:
"I wouldn't say either of these cities is even close to a major franchise right now. The big stumbling block is the small size of the parks plus the remote chance of any big ones being built to meet our time needs."
Mr. Veeck seems to have overlooked a very major point, which is that his St. Louis Browns are very minor league in caliber. Surely every ball yard in the Pacific Coast League is ample to hold the crowds the lowly Browns draw in St. Louis—sometimes less than a thousand.
Nor did Mr. Veeck mention, while hree, that in that very week his singularly incompetent team was mathematically eliminated from the American league race. It couldn't win the pennant if it won all remaining games from there on and the leading Yankees lost all theirs. Might be better, from the St. Louis point of view, if Bill would try to move the Seals or Angels back there to take the Browns' place. Neither team surely, could do much worse in fast company!
The Age of Wisdom
A generation or so ago, the notion that old age inevitably brings on deterioration of the mental faculties was widely entertained. That theory was pretty well exploded last week in San Francisco at a meeting of specialists in geriatrics, the branch of medicine which deals with old age and its ailments. The consensus was that while the years may slow down the processes of thickking and learning, age in no way impairs the intelligence or soundness of judgment.
Some statistics that were discussed would seem to bear out the new concept. It was reported that some people, as they age, like to move to new places to live. It was also revealed that the percentage of citizens over 65, nationwise, has increased by 36 per cent since 1940, whereas in California the percentage has shot up by 60 per cent.
Which clearly indicates that most of the oldsters, when they get the itch to move, head for California, where the climate is salubrious and the pensions liberal. What could be smarter than that?

Songs of a Sonneter
By R. Louis Scott
"The World Wags On . . . !"
But what is Evil? Nay, now—let that rest:
For after all the Good Book clearly states
That neither you nor I have right to test
Or weigh another! All the wrong which freights
Our daily living is, at best, concerned
With what we see—or hear! The wry-faced Fates
Knit multi-tinted yarns—Time's wheel is turned
And cords are spun, so that the gods might weave
Rewards or punishments as yet unearned!
Yeah! The sinner is dammed—his kinfolk grieve—
And the world wags on! Some folk take to gin
And others to lust: but dare Judgment leave
A soul stuck fast like a bug on a pin—
Because you or I think its actions sin?

It seems that it is impossibile to satisfy labor management—they are starting to kick up their heels again against the Eisenhower organization. It isn't the people or the individual members of organized labor that are dissatisfied but those who head the labor organizations.
During the Roosevelt-Truman regimes, labor was given every demand that it made on government. It was catered to, spoiled like the only child of a wealthy nation. When the blocs were finally instituted, labor how he'd been lured from blame John Lautner for getting sore when his fellow Communists removed his pants. It was drafty down there in that cellar in Cleveland.
Having taken his trousers, his fellow revolutionists also shucked him of his shirt, his shorts and his socks. Then they branded black jackets at him, as well as revolvers, butcher knives, rubber hoses, and a lie-detecting machine. They said he was entirely too friendly with the F.B.I.
Veteran Communist Lautner said he was not, either, but the bigwigs of the arty who'd commandered his pants, wouldn't believe him. They threatened to kill him at the first favorable opportunity.
Then they handed him back his clothes, pulled his hat down over his eyes, hauled him to an industrial suburb in a sedan and dumped him. This was on a Saturday night in 1950.
The following Monday Lautner read in that compendium of Communist manifestos, the New York Daily Worker, that he'd been expelled from the party as a traitor. This made him angrier still and Lautner went to the FBI, where he offered to tell the G-men everything he knew about those who made the mistake of taking his pants.

I met up with him when Sen. Joe McCarthy (R., Wis), and Co., called him in to tell what he knew about Red inside the United Nations. He knew a good deal.

WASHINGTON. - I can't much blame John Lautner for getting sore when his fellow Communists removed his pants. It was drafty down there in that cellar in Cleveland.
Having taken his trousers, his fellow revolutionists also shucked him of his shirt, his shorts and his socks. Then they branded black jackets at him, as well as revolvers, butcher knives, rubber hoses, and a lie-detecting machine. They said he was entirely too friendly with the F.B.I.

It seems that it is impossibile to satisfy labor management—they are starting to kick up their heels again against the Eisenhower organization. It isn't the people or the individual members of organized labor that are dissatisfied but those who head the labor organizations.
During the Roosevelt-Truman regimes, labor was given every demand that it made on government. It was catered to, spoiled like the only child of a wealthy nation. When the blocs were finally instituted, labor unified the hand that had been feeding it and turned to Eisenhower.
Eisenhower went into office with the understanding that his government was going to attempt to return business to private ownership and restablish the right-to-work policy, and he has been doing just that. Naturally labor management resents this, it cuts into their take from the worker.
Many states have passed legislation that protects the worker who does not desire to belong to a union in order to hold down a job. This law should not be necessary since the Constitution of the United States guarantees this right, but due to labor management pressure, the right must be reiterated by an additional law.
Labor needs a voice and this voice is only possible through labor organizations but when these organizations become dictatorial and an economic burden to its members there is need for a backing down to the point that they are again working for the membership and not the top labor leaders or an attempt to dictate control.
Unless labor management allows business management and government a fifty-fifty chance, private enterprise will soon perish.

"I never was given a chance before for a sexy role," she said. "There was a scene in 'Ride. The Pink Horse' where Robert Montgomery described me as a little mouse with big eyes. That's always the way it's been."
In 'House In The Sea' I even get to wear a bathing suit. Once I posed in one at Paramount for cheesecake, but the New York office sent back orders to put an ice cream cone in my hand.

He told the harrowing tale of Your Birthday Forecast
(BY STELLA)
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 — Born today, you are more a person of thoughts, ideas and day-dreaming than one action. Yet, if you are thrust into a position where you are forced to exert yourself, you are able to organize your plans efficiently and push them through. It is just that you really prefer to let the rest of the world do the pushing, while you sit back and plan! You are not too shrewd in business and if you are going to make money you need to have a good manager to keep things moving.
History, science, philosophy, literature—all the world of ideas attracts you. You would be happiest, probably, if you never had to earn a living, but could spend your time reading, listening to good music, and dreaming your dreams of future greatness! Especially interested in the occult and mysterious, you might wish to delve into this deeply at some period in your life.
The stars have given you a keen talent for analysis and you know how to look at a problem, size it up, and then cut straight to the heart of the matter, scissoring red tape as you progress. This will make you valuable as an executive or as an educational administrator.
Although you are not demonstrative in showing your affections, and have deep emotions and could not be content to live without a marriage partner and your own children. You will be happiest if you wed at an early age and have a family of your own to care for and adore. It is one of the ways to inspire you to work hard. You will make any kind of personal sacrifice for their happiness—even to working hard!
To find what the stars have in store for tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

NEW YORK (P)—Lovely Patricia Powell is making history in the nursing profession, but she's not to compare her achievement with that of Florence Nightingale.
Pat, a platinum blonde with brown eyes, is a railroad nurse, and believes she is the only one in the nation who has clicked off 2,000,000 miles of track in performance of her duties.
Statisticians of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, for which she works, figure Pat has covered a distance equal to 80 times around the world.
To establish this staggering total, Pat has ministered to and cheered thousands of the railroad's passengers for nearly 13 years, on close to 800 round trips between New York and Miami.
Meets Celebrities
"I spend my time almost equally divided among New York, Miami and the streamliner," said Pat. "What could be more perfect?"
Pat makes one round trip every six days. There are two days of sea and sunshine at the southern end of the line; two days of metropolitan living at the northern end and adventure as well as work in between.
While on duty she's met the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, some of the country's most prominent socialites, screen stars and diplomats.
"I never had to give any of them anything more than a aspirin," she said. But even if they don't need a nurse, she still gets to meet the passengers. Because she also is a sort of hostess.
Five railroad lines use registered nurses as regular crew members on passenger trains. Pat is the veteran of them all, in terms of length of service and mile eled.

Mostly the nurse dispels pirin and reassurance on road rounds. Sometimes a fever develops a fever, may develop an insulin treat a nervous passenger may sedative.

Now he'd been lured from New York Communist headquarters to Cleveland for the nudist inquisition in the pellar, but he refused to say where he lived.
Seems he moves, frequently and without notice and I can understand. He's taking no chances on the pals who want to kill him, getting the chance.
I suppose its not exactly fair to characterize Lautner as a poor man's Louis Budens, the Communism did sound familiar. Eventually Senators McCarthy and Everett M. Dirksen, (r., Ill.) got around to alleged communism in a United Nations said that was an ideal place for the Reds to operate. The Senators asked, did he know Joel Remes?
That he did, said Lautner. He called Remes a high functionary of the party.
"Who's now working as an American civilian employee of the UN Polish delegation," added Sen. McCarthy.
The Senator went on to say that he was opening up shop at once in New York for further inquiry into the UN diplomats. He said it was odd about how he got the tip on em.
You doubtless remember Sen. McCarthy's inquiry into Communists among the bookbinders at the Government Printing Office. He had that turned up the fact that the Federal printers, without orders from anybody or pay (except from us taxpayers) has been publishing large quantities of United Nations literature.
He looked into that, too, and he said that's when he discovered the Commies in the glass-walled skyscraper of the UN.

Not all proposed amendments which Mr. Durkin tried to get accepted by the White House are restrictive of individual liberty as there are some of relatively little consequence included that are supposed to benefit employers.
The important restrictions on the rights of individuals which the Labor Unions want can be stated as follows:
1. Management in certain industries—maritime, construction and amusement would be deprived of the right to hire whom they please. Employees would be furnished by a union monopoly to which the worker and the public generally would pay tribute. To allow pre-hiring agreements in certain industries and break down the principle of freedom of hiring is to sanction its breakdown eventually in all industries.
2. Unions would have the right under the title, "Piano Music of Spain," and Gershwin's F major concerto, with the Pittsburgh Symphony. William Steinberg, conducting.
He's an interesting young pianist, this Pennario; you'd like to see Capitol permit him to settle on repertoire, and to get his evident interpretative gifts focused upon something that might draw them out. Gershwin's F major, in truth, isn't much. And the Spanish composers are much better played by other recording pianists.
You wonder, too, why Decca having at hand a pianist of the evident calibre of Helmut Roloff chose to present him in Weber's C major sonata which can be described most succinctly by one word—dull. A more pleasing Decca record is in its $2.50 series in which Claudio Arrau plays Beethoven's 15 variations and fugue on the Eroica theme. He plays them unevenly — some superb, some passing fair — but they're most substantial music.
