In his final speech, prepared for
a night rally at the Norwajk Wom
en's Club, Kefauver said he -had
read "that the Republicans have
put a team Jo work figuring out
the costs of the welfare improve
ments that we propose."
He added:
"This reaction is in the grand
old tradition of the so - called
Grand Old Party. They are, as
always, more concerned with dol
lar signs than with betterment in
living conditions.
Balance Budget
"They are, as always, more con
cerned with balancing the budget
than with balancing the equities
for the underprivileged."
The Tennessean said he had no
doubt that Republicans would fig
ure out that the nation could not
allord the proposed Democratic
program.
When the Social Security Law
firt was enacted under Franklin
D Roosevelt. 20 years ajo, he
said, Republicans "took out their
stub pencils, and their little pads,
and figured the costs."
" 'This will bankrupt the nation.'

Drue. Birmingham. Ala . rented
the sinboard (or 10 days for $400
to display her work.
Mis Hook figured it ought to
be a good way to Ret some atten
tion for her paintings
She wants to sell them, at prices
ranging from 112 to 4O0 She'd

It nearly threw us," said
i William Elliott, sales manager for

Co, describing the company's re
action when Mrs Hook ap
proached it wanting to rent the
. sienboard
1'iitisual "ituuUon
It's very unusual for a private
individual to want to rent a sign
board to display paintings "
Elliott said the company finally
decided it could be done and "we
were happy to do itj"

The largest painting is about 50
by SO inches. Some are as small
as 17 inches square. They include
portraits, landscapes and a reli
gious scene. From the street level
i passers-by can just about make
out the subject matter.
There's nothing to indicate the
purpose of such an odd exhibit.
Just a small sign giving the ar
tist's name and Birmingham ad
dress t "It's just a way of teasing peo
; pie into contacting her," said
Elliott.
Plastic Covering
Mrs Hook used a plastic film
to cover the paintings, so the
weather won't harm them. I'ntil
midnight each night they'll be il
luminated by floodlights.
I.at spnng the outdoor adver
tising concern had another un
usual customer (or another of its
signboards at Times Square.
This was Irwin Luck, 18year
j old songwriter of Miami, Fla He
! plunked down W5A to have a letter
'addressed to singer Perry Como
t painted on a signboard. Luck
wanted Como to sing one of his
, songs.
i Elliott said Luck didn't have
; much luck in getting Como to
s'ng his song but did have a nice
' visit with Como and as a result
'of all the publicity "got a big
: boost in his sontwriting work."

I she had painted IS hours a day
