Teen gets you twenty that the televers 2000 miles away from the conventions knew a heap sight thought about what was going on their did-most of the delegates. Emerging from both conventions was the fact that the person the voter must beware of most is the political orator. A good political drator can do more to baffle and bamboozle and confuse the voter than any other single factor. It is the custom of this column during political campaigns, "we (If only the post office boys can deliver votes half as well as they deliver the mail.) "I have asked the Merciful Father of us all to let this cup pass from me. But from such dread responsibility one does not shrink in fear, in self interest, or in false humility." (A little rebellion tossed in here won't hurt the cause a bit.) "...therefore, I now withdraw my name from the balloting and ask that my delegates swing their support to the next president of the United States..."

Engaging from both conventions was the fact that the person the voter must beware of most is the political orator. A good political drator can do more to baffle and bamboozle and confuse the voter than any other single factor. It is the custom of this column during political campaigns, we publish a Glossary of Political H phrases which the Common Man may study so that he will be able to see through the veneer of lofty phrasology the next time he gets a politician get up before the TV camera to deliver a mess of potage. Herewith are appended a few phrases commonly used by ambitious politicians (all used by orators in the recent conventions) with the actual meaning, as defined by the writer, tacked out in parentheses: "Loyalty to the principles of the party." (Fear of losing your job). "It is with a sense of deephumility that I address this convention." (Oboy, Oboy, what a break! And on television, too!) "I did not expect this great honor of addressing you." (Just like I didn't expect the sun to come up this morning.

UP—Are you one of the millions of Americans who feel themselves in a rut? Has life given you everything you yearned for: a wife, children, a job, a home in the suburbs, even a place to park your motor car—and still you feel dissatisfied? Then you are suffering from civilization's most widespread disease—to get what you want. There is only one cure, and that is to want something you don't have and go after it. You have made a habit of following a routine. What you need now is to make a change of habit, and turn your dull life topsy-turvy in a satisfying way. To do this you don't have to run off with your stenographer, disinherit your children, bait your TODAY'S CROSS-WORD PUZZLE HORIZONTAL 1 Province, river, bay, N.

DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Jack Webb, from most of you know as Deive Sgt. Joe Friday of "Dragnet" fame on NBC radio and television, is about as tough to intercept as a police commissioner in midst of a hot murder case. Least, so I found when Ineyed to Republic Studios to learn the formula friend uses in keeping TV-Radio-Award winner, "Dragnet," a consistently topnotch show. When I arrived, Jack was deep consultation on some technical issues (he's a stickler for authority, which almost got him high production cost trouble) he first started his series VV) for some of the 47 new "Dragnet" telefilms which go into action next month. Huddled the scripts with him were Jack Donohoe, Sgt. Marty and Sgt. Vance Brasher the Central Division of the Angeles Police department confers weekly with memoir of the police department, for from their files that come cases dramatized on the true-radio and television shows. My body can commit a crime," him six-footer told me. He not above it yourself. Tom. Nor am I. Fortunately, though, the criminal tendency lies peacefully dormant in most of us. "But because anybody can, and often does commit a crime, we try hard not to play up any one group as a typical criminal. A fellow of Italian or Mexican ancestry is no more likely to rob a store than is a Uruguayan or Malayan. So, while adhering to the type of criminal in the case we're dramatizing, we attempt not to select too many cases in which the criminal is of any particular nationality, creed or color." It was hot in this studio, and Jack mopped his brown and continued: "We don't slant our programs for the 11-year-old as some showmen claim should be done." He explained. "People are not dumb. And, aiming to entertain the people, we slant 'Dragnet' for approximately the 30-year-old mind." Originally predicted to be a flop, "Dragnet" now is in its third year. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW . . .

Gazette S Angels Pull Carpet for Visiting Oaks; Drop T By The Associated Press Oakland could have been in a virtual tie today with Hollywood for first place in the Pacific Coast league standing, except that Los Angeles pulled the welcome mat from under the Oaks last night. The Angels, home from a disastrous two week road trip, pinned Oakland down for a 7 to 6 victory, despite the heroic efforts of the Acorns' Sam Chapman to win the contest single handed. Sam clouted his 11th homer and a three-run double. But the Angels liked the Oak pitching and blasted 13 hits. Max West, big Angel outfielder, smote his 19th homer in the sixth frame, and Bobb Usher also hit one for Los Angeles. Stars Tumble Hollywood, playing seventh place San Francisco, took a 5-1 pasting. The Stars ran into some flossy pitching by Floyd Bevens and Bill Bradford, and could get only four hits. The Seals put together five singles in the third for three runs and the ball game, driving starter Joe Muir out. Bevens walked the bases full in the ninth and gave way to Bradford with two out.
