A Nichols' Worth of- Comment On Br HARMAN Unirad Pratt Washington, Mar. 15 (U.R) We had press agents back in the 19th century some dandies, too. One was Ed ward P. fling stun, a n alert manager of Charles Farrar flrown (1834 1887). The story of Browne and how Ed lllng s t o n handled him in told In a rare book ex hibit now on display at the Barman Nichols library of con- gi e;is; section of humor Browne was described in some of the early books as a "red headed, harum-scarum," who had made a name for himself on one of the C'levclnnd paprrs by writing a scries of letters lo Hie paper under the pen-name of "Aitcnuis Ward." Browne got his learning In the east by being a printer's devil and "went west" as .-"veteran of nine years in the business at the age of 23." Writings Catch On His writings soon caught on because he ran a dizzy gamut from trained snakes to foxes thai walk like men to "elephants that can balance on their trunks and play the piano." Browne finally lei the snake, the fox. and the elephant out of the bag; that Ward was really C. F. Browne and was willing to Ho on a lecture tour.

I9S0 Best Navy Defense Against Atomic Attacks Revealed Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, Mar. 15 'U.R) The navy's best defense against an atomic attack while trying to land amphibious troops on a hostile shore is dis persal of its ships, a study of operation "portrex" indicated to day. Admiral Jerault Wright, com mander of 160 warships in the 14-day practice invasion of Vie ques Island, said he and his of ficers reached this conclusion as result of a preliminary critiflue held before 800 officers of all services on a Vieques hillside yesterday. Phases Criticiiad Top officers of all services cri ticized some phases of the gigan tic Joint maneuvers, which in cluded 80,000 fighting men and 500 planes, but they agreed on the effectiveness of unification. The exercises started February 25 and ended Saturday. Wright said the maneuvers, largest joint operations ever held in peacetime, tried out for the first time the tactic of dispersing ships to meet possible atomio at tack while making an amphibi ous landing. He described It as a good "pas- slve" defense "the best defense against an atomic bomb attack." Among the favorable aspects cited bv the officers were the effectiveness of unification in action, the effectiveness of anti submarine measures, and the progress made in joint air opera tions by the navy and air force. Unnecessary Talking Among the faults found were inadequate communications fa cilities and too much unneces sary talking. One ground com mander estimated that 80 per cent of the talking on his com munications network was un necessary. The officers agreed that am phibious operations were not feasible if the seas were whipped by winds of more than 20 knots. Portrex landing operations were hampered by rough seas witli winds under 20 knots. St. Patrick's Day Dance Slated Here Both western and modern music will be featured at a St. Patrick's day dance, Friday, March 17 at the Medford armory. Medford Marine Corps league is sponsoring the event and Arn old's Rhythm bond will play. Dancing will be from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The evening's activity will include a balloon scramble. The dance is billed as a bene fit affair. This and That W. NICHOLS 'aarura Wrllal tious Hing.ston to lour the west on anything having to do with morals. Morals, at the lime, were hot topics among the people who were building the west; the gold powers and the wife bcaters and the children-deserters. Turned out Browne didn't have much to say about morals or anything else, but "managed to entertain, as one of his critics put it. He would wind up each talk by confessing that he knew nothing about which he had been assigned, but he left the folks in the aisles. Antics Described Some of liis antics are de scribed in one of the books on display in the current exhibit. Other research, develops that Browne, though he may have been the wit behind it all, gen erally had his man Hingston in front of him by at least one town. In the fall of 1883. he got a telegram from a theatrical man ager in San Francisco. It said: "What would you take for 40 nights in California." Brow n and Hingston sat down and composed a reply. It is not clear whether the manager-pre.is-agent had anything to do with it, but it read: "Brandy and water." Kingston, at any rate, is said to have been out there ahead of the wire, which presumably was dispatched long after he left. Browne was hirrd for the 40 nights and soon caught on and, for all his sassiness, made what the press in those days called a 'nice fortune."

MONEY CANT BUY ASPIRIN THAT'S taxpayers' expense, play at Con cord and Lexington. Mass.. on April 19, the 175th anniversary of the shot heard around the world? Housa Votet Yes Chairman Carl Vinson and his committee said No. But, Vinson pointed out, the house already has voted yes without consult- ine him or the committee. The senate also gave its ap proval and President iruman let the bill become law without his signature. Vinson said his committee has laid down a firm rule against such trips because one leads to an I her. After the revolution came the war between the states If Concord is okay, why not Manassas and Bull Run? A republican Yankee named w. sterling Lole, ot new xorK proposed the solution: The committee should ask the president to exercise his own rights, disregard tlie congres sional authorization, and keep the marine band at home. On Othar Matter Vinson said fine; he d speak to the oresidem about it. But mere was one oiner mat ter, he said. The bill authorizing the Con cord-Lexington trip was sponsor ed by a republican. Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, Massachusetts. It so happened that a democrat from the same state. Rep. jonn F. Kennedy, is sponsoring anoth er bill to send the rand to Hun ker Hill, on June 18 and 17. Unlike the Rogers bill. Ken nedy's proposal was referred to the armed services committee. Impression Feared Vinson said tnat u Mr. iru man turns the committee down, and lets the band go to Concord, he will insist that the committee also make an exception for Kennedy. People in Massachusetts, he said, otherwise might get the erroneous impression that a re publican can do better in con gress than a democrat. Real Estate Exams Slated Here Friday Carl Tcngwald.
