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

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.
