DECEMBER 2. 1938, Chicago Girl, of 18 to Be Metropolitan Ballerina HELP SELL CHRISTMAS SEALS LE E AS FOR POUIICIANS Good LooTts As Well As Fine Voice Held Need of Fu ture Office Seekers Pitfalls Are Numerous By Preston OroTpr WASHINGTON D a I d Srirnnoff, bend of the Radio Corporation of America and peer of the realm In hie field, came to Washington to exchange blows with the government In the monopoly Investigation, and In his first dozen sentences dropped a hint of horrors to come for un handsome politicians. Said Sarnoff Television ! Just around the corner. Now such a warning coming from Sarnoff la not to be biffed aside like a fir on the butter. He It on the Inside track. Ills statement puts solidly behind all the rumors and reports of television heard hereto fore. And when It comes, what will hap pen to our bustle-faced politicians who have depended on their superior logic, wise cracks and stentorian voices to overcome the fact that their noggins don't look well In print? New Major Consideration It may sound silly, but to us It seems a better thnn fair bet that by 1040 one of the Important considera tions for a president will be: Is he good looking? Does he have t "strong" face? It Is not to be forgotten the part radio has played in the past two lections. Roosevelt, master o' the mike, made Hoover In 1032 sound like a man with his head In a duffle hag. In 1030 Governor London tried to remedy his own microphonic defects by studying under a voice tutor dur ing part of the campaign. At times. such was the value of the training. he could repeat a dozen "a" words without hissing one. It couldn't be said that he was defeated because of a hlsud "a," but he went down trying not to. I May Heroine Actor Come another election, the anplrlng candidate may well have to carry along not only a voice expert but a makeup man. He may need a stage director. If he has a nervous habit of tugging at his ear or a lock of hair while he pours his message Into the air, he might lose Pennsyl vania and Ohio In one awat. The nearest thing we now have to television Is the news reel talk ies where the boys with messages for the public are Invited to sound 1 off. In the news reels a speaker with a shiny spot parking out from beneath a misplaced lock Is always good for a titter. Moreover, In the talkie versions, the films are edited ao that a silly gesture can bo' out out. But In television the product will go directly from producer to con sumer without benefit of friendly retouching. If a man has a ner vous habit of twitching his nose or a way of saying "peanuts' that looks odd In closeup, he'll be no great help to the party even If he can coin great phrases like "Back to Normalcy" or "The Forgotten Man." Toting Tom Dewey, with a head of black hair, may do splendidly In television untess hla crisp mustache touches the national funnyhone. 8o far as we know, his adama apple doesn't duck up and down around Pretty Batty Remain la displaying ona of Wards shopping calendars, which feature the National Tuberculoid Association's Christmas Soal. Mounted at strategle points throughout the store, they remind ihoppera not only to buy seals, but also tell them how many days are left for purchasing gifts. Price tags featuring the Christmas seal are another effort on the part of Montgomery Wards to help this cause. his collar button. Prom a sartorial standpoint, Republicans might "do well with Dewey." Democrat le Possibilities Solicitor General Robert Jackson la a handsome enough Democratic prospect, with a good head of hair and clean cut features. Secretary Wallace of agriculture might go well with' the farming help, as his forelock Is forever dropping .across his brow In a manner suggesting homely Will Rogers. After all, these things are taken seriously by party figures who re member "the Voice" that swelled the totals In the two past cam paigns. A noble meln may help In 1040. Great as was Lincoln, no tell ing what might have happened had television put hla homely face be fore a Jibing public In 1800. Truly It would be terrible for either party next time to be de feated by a marpln of buck teeth and a receding chin.
