MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager BALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER BACK A FEW YEARS ago when I was in high school I was told that ANY citizen of the United States might become president. And I believed this until I got a little older and looked around a bit. Then it gradually dawned on me that this great attainment might be barred from one if he were either (1) a Jew; (2) a Roman Catholic; or (3) a Negro, despite the fact that all three qualify as citizens. And after the recent national conventions in Chicago, it seems that the field is narrowed down still further. The one party, by popular vote at the primaries, put forth Senator Robert A. Taft, an honest and untrammeled individual if ever there was one, a man of intelligence, probity and integrity. He was ruthlessly scuttled at the Republican convention by a leader of his own party: Tom Dewey. It this the democratic way of selecting presidential nominees? Why not let each party place its presidential aspirants on a primary ticket and let the citizens, by popular vote, elect the respective nominees? This would in one stroke give the poor little old voter a choice and deal a death blow to the political machines. This would make impotent, superfluous, and perhaps even illegal the real estate, medical, labor, manufacturer and agricultural lobbyists who now TV-RADIOLOGI Fame Returns to Charles Farrel for second time in his length acclaimed career, and he's not too sure likes it. Farrell was the heartbeat of late '20s and early '30s when co-starred with Janet Gaye. Now he is co-starring with other winsome lass, Gale Stover in a television series called "Little Margie" started out none promisingly. The first program generally was panned by critics. But the quality has varied and the show was lauded the No. 3 spot in audience ratings. "There's a good chance that the show will be sold after the summer is over," said Farrell. "It looks as though I'm going to be a busy boy." At first I wasn't so sure wanted to do it. I was all set to go to Europe this summer with friend of mine. Hal Roach had talked to me about doing the show, but I didn't think anything would come of it. I got a passport and everything. Then the show was signed to replace Lucille and Desi during the summer, and I found I was committed to do it." Farrell found it wasn't easy to return to the cameras after a 15-year absence. The show filmed in a studio like a movie "Brother, was I nervous!" THE OTHER PARTY, by the vote of the grass rooters (the Common Man) showed that it preferred Senator Estes Kefauver, here, too, was an honest man. The grass rooters saw in him one who would throw fear into the grifters and the grafters, and hew to the line on a Lincolneseque basis. But the big city political bosses, fortified by the president Himself, threw this honest and forthright Tennessee to the wolves. Never was a lamb more callously led in slaughter." Television, the very medium which reflected Kefauver's rise (in the role as chairman of the Senate Crime Investigating committee) as an enemy of organized lawlessness, also recorded the agony of his downfall beneath the wheels of organized political machinery in Chicago's International Amphitheatre. SO. THE ARROGANT bosses served up to the voter Eisenhower and Stevenson. You have your choice of voting for one or the presidential aspirants on a primary ticket and let the citizens, by popular vote, elect the respective nominees? This would in one stroke give the poor little old voter a choice and deal a death blow to the political machines. This would make impotent, superfluous, and perhaps even illegal the real estate, medical, labor, manufacturer and agricultural lobbyists who now make our national political conventions a farce, a delusion and a snare, rivalling only Barnum and Bailey's and Ringling Brothers circus as the Greatest Show on earth. And, remember what Barnum said . . . Drew Pearson On The Washington MERRY-GO-ROUND WASHINGTON. — Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Teddy and one of the rulers of Washington society, is either getting benign or else has fallen for the Eisenhower charm. After Willkie was nominated, Alice remarked: "He sprang from the grass-roots of the country clubs of America." After Dewey was nominated, she cracked: "How can you vote for a man who looks like a bridegroom on a wedding cake?" Both men had defeated Mrs. Longworth's close friend, Bob Taft. But of the man who defeated Taft for the third time, Alice is more tolerant. "Naturally, I am sorry that Bob TODAY'S CROSS-WORD PUZZLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Andy Fuhrberg and family spent last week with friends in San Diego. didn't make it," she tells friends. "But that's the way it was and I am willing to accept it." She admitted that she watched the Eisenhower demonstration. "But," she added, "conventions aren't what they used to be. Television is spoiling them." Why Summerfield Switched Though the Democrats probably got more publicity focused on their hectic backstage wire-pulling than the Republicans, some of the latter's deals are just coming to the surface. One of them, sure to be denied, sheds light on why Arthur Summerfield of Michigan, long a vigorous Taft supporter, switched over to Elsephower. Summerfield, a Chevrolet dealer, was under heavy pressure from General Motors to switch. But there was more to it than that—according to the story told by Summerfield's close friend, Congressman Jesse Wolcott of Michigan. Wolcott says that during the GOP discussion over seating the southern delegates, he got a frantic phone call from Summerfield to come to Chicago immediately. Arriving in Chicago, Summerfield told him he was being pressured by Tom Coleman, GOP leader in Wisconsin and Taft's floor manager, to back Taft. He was also under pressure from Senator Perguson and Congressman Schafer of Michigan, likewise vigorous Taft boosters. On the other hand, General Motors, for whom he operated a dealership, demanded that he support RADIOLOGIC Time Returns to Silent Filmdom's Charles Farrel for Second Time By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD UP—Fame has to Charles Farrell for the time in his length acting and he's not too sure he did. Farrell was the heartbeat of the 60s and early '30s when heired with Janet Gaynor he is co-starring with an-winsome lass, Gale Storm, television series called "My Marge" started out none too singly. The first program was panned by the But the quality has vastly ed and the show was land-No. 3 spot in audience ra-recalled. "My knees were shaking noticeably, and I was so tense my voice got into the higher registers. I did my first scene with Hillary Brooke, and she advised me to tense my muscles so I wouldn't shake. I ended up moving mechanically." He managed to conquer nerves after the first show or two and has now settled down to the hard work of turning out the series. Some of the blow was softened by his participation in radio in recent years. A year ago, he did a much-publicized Radio Theater version of "Seventh Heaven" with his old flame, Janet Gaynor. Also, he has played himself on the Jack Benny air show. Farrell admitted that he has enough ham to enjoy his new-found fame. It's just like the old days, with people recognizing him the street and friends complimenting him on his performance. He added that he is amused by references to him in the public prints. He has been termed a silent film star. In reality, he did only a dozen silents, and about 40 talkies. One review stated it was nice that TV could give a break to Farrell, "who has had a tough time of it in recent years." This drew a laugh from Farrell, mayor of Palm Springs, Calif., and operator of the highly profitably Raquet Club there. ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhofer The performance of American athletes in the current Olympics, magnificent as it has been, is also notable for the failure, a failure typical in past Olympiaids, of so many "name" Yank athletes to deliver the goods in major sports competition. Perhaps the best example of all is George Brown, UCLA's great broad-jumper—the man who has jumped third farthest—behind only the incompatible Jesse Owens and Willie Steele—of any horizontal leaper of all time. When Brown fouled on all three of his jumps to eliminate himself, he set the keynote for a pattern which many American stars have followed the past two weeks. Occidental's John Barnes had been considered at least among the half dozen best 800-meter men in the world, yet he failed to even qualify for the finals. Mammoth Jim Fuchs holds every shot-put record of any consequence in the world today, yet he barely managed to ease into third place in the iron ball competition at Helsinki. The man who holds the world marks in both the 110-meter and 120-yard high hurdles, Dick Attlesey, was hobbled into helplessness by injuries and did not qualify for the trip in the tryouts last month.

Eisenhower. Job in Ike's Cabinet Therefore, he asked Wolcott to act as a buffer—a sort of mediator in deciding the seating of the southern delegates. He also told Wolcott that, in sequence in the world today, yet he barely managed to ease into third place in the iron ball competition at Helsinki. The man who holds the world marks in both the 110-meter and 120-yard high hurdles, Dick Attesey, was hobbled into helplessness by injuries and did not qualify for the trip in the tryouts last month. Jim Golliday, considered by many to be the world's fastest human today, was waylayed by muscle cramps, did not qualify for the finals, and watched a virtually unknown teammate, Lindy Remignino, zoom to victory in the 100 meters. But for every big name to falter along the way, for every Fuchs, Golliday, Barnes and Brown, there has been an Incess, O'Brien, Richards, Stanfield, Dilard, Whitfield, Mathias, Moore, Davis, and Ashenfelter (our nomination for athlete-of-the-year) to pick up the slack. To our way of thinking by far the greatest comeback in the track and field department of this magnificent Olympiad was the performance of Herb McKenley, the jaunting Jamalcan. Considered the finest runner in the sprints and middle distances in the world seven or eight years ago. McKenley was "all washed up," "past his prime," and "through for good" according to the spike writers who saw his pitiful out-of-shape efforts in the Coliseum Relays and other big meets in this sector a few months ago. They called him a sick man, so did the other athletes, and most of them, holding memories of the days when McKenley bolted to a world's record of 46s flat in the 440, hoped Herb would quit for his own good. But McKenley kept working, and made everyone appear rather foolish in prognosticating by: (1) Being edged out by Remignino in a photo finish in the 100, in probably the closest finish in Olympic history and one in which many observers say McKenley was robbed; (2) Getting nosed out by teammate George Rhoden only. Stanton was held to ter-tered hits with their on-the-fifth on a single Sowers.

Eisenhower. Job in Ike's Cabinet Therefore, he asked Wolcott to act as a buffer—a sort of mediator in deciding the seating of the southern delegates. He also told Wolcott that, in return for supporting Ike, he had been promised the right to fill one spot in the Eisenhower cabinet, and he had chosen the treasury department. His choice for secretary of the treasury, he said, would be Congressman Wolcott. In relating this to friends, Wolcott has said he did not feel qualified to be secretary of the treasury, though he was glad to help Summerfield out, and did so. His help came when Summerfield, after listening to the Georgia delegates present their case, remarked that he wanted his friend Congressman Wolcott to pass on the merits of the matter. Whereupon Wolcott recommended a vote with the Eisenhower group. This helped to take the heat off Summerfield, also showed that at least one prominent Michigan congressman was in Summerfield's corner. In the end, it will be recalled that Summerfield switched Michigan's big block of votes to Eisenhower, despite the fact that at the Michigan state convention he had worked to block Eisenhower. Note — Summerfield has already been rewarded by appointment as GOP national chairman. It will be interesting to see whether he gets the selection of a man for secretary of the treasury, too. But McKenley kept working, and made everyone appear rather foolish in prognosticating by: (1) Being edged out by Remignino in a photo finish in the 100, in probably the closest finish in Olympic history and one in which many observers say McKenley was robbed; (2) Getting nosed out by teammate George Rhoden, only the world's 400-meter record holder, in record time in the 400; (3) Running probably the fastest 400 of all time, one well under the fabulous 46s. flat figure, in the 1600-meter relay. Pretty good for a "sick man." THE FACT THAT Fullerton's Ace Burns has even been in the US water polo lineup at Helsinki enough to score goals is quite a credit to him. Burns was picked from the Fullerton-Whittler squad as an alternate to accompany the championship El Segundo team. Olympic rules specify that no substitutions may be made except in the event of injury, so spares do not usually play. Usually a team winning in the trials uses its entire same unit in the Olympics, but Burns is good enough to cause some El Segundo lad to ride the bench. A real tribute.

In the second game, Magnolia "Cobras"opped Parkway Inn; 8-4. Eddie Farr, stellar hurler for the "cannerymen," pitched shutout ball for eight innings to win his crucial game for the Hunt Foods team. Farr allowed only three safeties with four merchants reaching first and none advancing further than second base. Chuck King singled to lead off the bottom of the eighth inning advanced to second on Gene Antoni's sacrifice, and romped one when Wally Dietrich, right elder for Hunts, hit a long line five double to left field. The Merchants threatened in second inning when, with one day, Dee Campbell singled, Rog Pannier walked, but Ed Bielek popped to the catcher and Maxson grounded to the first baseman unassisted to retire the side. Magnolia Upsets Parkway Inn The Magnolia "Cobras" came from behind in the third inning to score four runs to take a 4 to 2 lead and were never headed as they added three in the fourth and one in the fifth to win going away, 8 to 4. Jody Bracamontez, Cobra hurler, gave up six hits in winning, while his teammates were connecting for seven safeties of the combined efforts off Raul Sanchez and Louie DeLeon. Tony Rivera, Magnolia catcher, garnered two singles to drive in three of the "Cobra" runs and scored twice himself. Bracamontez's single in the third with bases loaded accounted for three of the eight runs. Pingo Zamarripi's first inning two run double, and Bill Baca's bases-empty home run in the seventh accounted for three of Parkway's four runs. The other came in the sixth when Bill Mattil doubled and scored on Manual Napoles single to centerfield.
