Mae West Wows 'Em In Colorado
With Her Revival Of "Diamond Lil,"
After Interval Of Twenty Years
CENTRAL CITY, Col.. Aug. 11.
UP) Brooklyn-borne Mae
Wet, who uyi she brought sex
out ol the back room, Is wowing
'em In this state-ca.led "Culture
Crazy Colorado" by a New York
"The musty old Central City
opera house, dark 10 months out
of the year. Is crowded nightly
ior Mae's saga of sin titled "Dia
mond Lil." She Intioduced the
play 20 years ago in New York
when she was In her middle 30s.
Her scheduled three week run,
which opened July 30, has Just
been extended another week to
meet the demand.
"I've got the feel for this one,"
she told an interviewer. "This
mining town would have been
home grounds for trat gal (Dia
mond Lil). She would have slept
while the miners dug the gold out
of the hills. Then at night she
would have dug the gold out of
the miners."
Central City is fust over a few
14,000 foot peaks from Aspen,
rv1 alt nf last month's Intema-
tion celebration honoring Johann
Wolfgang von Goeihe, German
philosopher. It attracted world
renowned intellectuals and was
rne of the summertime events
that Inspired John Chapman,
New York Daily News critic, to
dub the state "Culture Crazy
Colorado."
Mae offered a comment on that
too.
"They say back east you've
gone culture crazy," she smiled.
"I've been around the stage long
enough to know that culture can
be pushed off the wings by a
couple of swinging hips If you
know how to swing them."
Coloradoans and vacation visit
ors are chuckling ht the same
lines that tickled New Yorkers
when Mae launched "Diamond
Lil."
The Buxom stage veteran gets
one of her biggest laughs when
she purrs "It's not the men In my
life but the life in Try men that
counts."
First Complete Census Of American
Republic Being Planned For 1950
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON Uncle Sam
has been counting every man,
woman and child In the nation
every 10 years since 1790 and
has a pretty accurate idea about
the number and characteristics
of the people who Inhabit this
country. But many other Ameri
can republics know Utile about
themselves. No one knows how
many people live In Kcuador or
Haiti, for Instance. They have
never managed to take a nation
al census.
'This lack of a recent census
In many countries," George C.
Compton points out In Pan Am
erican union's "Americas" mag
azine, "not only produces a blind
spot In the vision of educators
and experts on social security,
housing, health services, or food
production, it also makes the
next census more dimcun. f irst,
because the lack of practical census-taking
experience. Second,
because of the people's unfamll
larity with the Idea of a census
and the resulting reluctance, or
even hostility toward the curious
enumerator."
Plans are well along, however,
for the first complete census of
the Americas In 1950. Already
the ground work has been laid In
most countries through a vast
educational program, the train
ing of statisticians in the art of
census-taking by the U.S. Census
bureau and the drafting of some
1. 500.000 enumerators In Central
and South American countries.
It Is expected that during the
period allowed for the census nf
the Americas probably all the
countries win noia a population
census and most will make a
separate survey of agriculture,
they plan special housing Inquir
ies. A few will tally Industry,
business or transportation.
Directing the vast enterprise
is a committees headed by Dr.
Calvert L. Dedrlck of the U.S.
Census Bureau, set up by the
Inter-American Statistical Insti
tute here. Working for census
uniformity, this committee ts
made up of most of the hemis

Ages Of Congressmen Range From 30 To 84 Years, Publication Discloses
Bv JANE EADS
WASHINGTON In 1944 when
Henrietta and Nelson Poynter set
up a news agency here they were
amazed at the difficulty they had
getting information on the doings
of Congress. Only a trained re
searcher with plenty of time,
they found, could distill the rec
ord of a single major action In
Congress, or the record of a sin
gle congressman, from the mil
lions of words that pour from
government presses into the Con
gressional Record.
The Poynters concluded that
here was an opportunity for them
to do real service. Devoting their
efforts to purely Congressional
coverage, they began publishing
the Congressional Quarterly in
1945. It Is now used by more than
100 newspapers, hundreds of li
braries, schools, and organiza
tions, Including the Democratic
and Republican national commit
tee. Simply chronicling the daily
facts of Congressional life and
devoid of interpretations, it Is de
signed to bridge the gap between
spot news and official records
wilh such features as voting
charts, attendance records, cov
erage of committees, reports on
lobbies and analysis of current
issues. Boning up on the 81st Con
gress from a Congressional Quar
terly In the public library, I
learned among other things:
The average age of members
is 56. Rep. Douchton (D-N.C),
84, is the oldest, and Rep. Bent-
sen (D-Tex.), 27, la the youngest
Theodore Francis Green D
R.I.), 81 la the oldest Senator.
The youngest is 30-year-old Rus
sell Long (D-La.), who under the
Constitution couldn't be any
younger.
Arthur H. Vandenberg, Michi
gan, In the Senate and Daniel A.
Reed, in the House are ranking
Republicans in period of service.
Ranking Democrats are Kenneth
McKellar, Tennessee, in the Sen
ate and' Adolph J. Sabath, Illi-
I nois, In the House. Sabath, his
service dating from March 4,
1907, has the longest service rec
ord. There are 301 lawyers In both
houses. This is the largest voca
tional category, with business- or
insurance next. There are 26 ex
governors in the Senate, one in
the house. There are 26 former
House members in the Senate
and two ex-senators (Hugh Mit
chell, Washington, and James W.
Wadsworth, New York) In the
House.
The Poynters, who were mar
ried In 1942 and have a home in
Georgetown, also run a newspa
per and radio station in St. Pe
tersburg, Kla., and are building !
a television station there. They i
nave a nome on the Gulf of Mex
ico, commute back and forth.
Henrietta, former drama and
feature editor of the old Vanity
Fair, went to Germany In 1929
to liquidate the German edition
of Vogue. She stayed a year. She
has worked on plays and movies
and for various propaganda
agencies here and overseas dur
ing the war. Nelson Poynter, a
Hoosier newspaperman, came to
Washington in 1923 and lived In
a Georgetown garret with Ernie
Pyle.
