Prisoners Held
By Commies Place
Hew Auto Orders
Detroit (U.R) Eight Ameri
can officers held as war prison
ers by the Communists in Korea
were assured Tuesday they'll
have little trouble buying new
cars when they are freed.
The eight, who placed orders
by letters with General Motors
corporation here, were told their
names will be high on the deliv
ery list in the event of a car
shortage at the time of their re
patriation. Rumors Circulating
The letter was written Janu
ary 10 and signed by 1st Lt.
Robert C. Lemke, of Wabeno,
Wis. It said rumors were circu
lating in their camp "somewhere
in North Korea" -that "automo
biles are beginning to become
hard to get."
"A group of us got together
and decided to try to get a let
ter through to you requesting
that you put us on your lists
for new automobile purchases,"
the letter said.
Asked To Advise Families
"As most of us flo not have
any idea whether our families
know we are alive or not we
would appreciate it if you would
drop a card to our home ad
dresses saying you have heard
from us."
The names of all eight men
appeared on the lists of war
prisoners released by the Com
munists recently.

Hardly a day passes you don't
hear of a fire caused by someone
smoking a cigaret in bed. What
this country needs is a popular
priced fireproof cigaret bolder
for bed smokers. It should not
be difficult to invent. Might also
not be a bad idea to have a spe
cial type of cigarets for smoking
in bed. That is, a kind of cigaret
that will go out when not puffed

Get It Right
In order that clients of this de
partment may be rightly inform
ed I have requested our check
ers-upper to keep a sharp look
out for inaccuracies. As for ex
ample, a weekly periodical re
ports that Susan Hayward, the
vivacious, vibrant and versatile
cinema luminary has three Cad
illacs. That's an error. She has
only two Cadillacs. However, the
article also states Miss Hayward
is from Brooklyn. That is right.
She used to live on Church ave
nue in the beautiful borough
across the bridge. It is also re
ported Susan is a "natural red
head. That is also absolutely cor
rect. Our Horses & Women staff
member assigned to checking on
red haired women examined a
lock of Miss Hay-ward's hair un
der the microscope and passed
her one hundred per cent as a
genuine bricktop.

1 Among the Married
There are about 160 groups of
people in the world who practice
polygamy. However, in practi
cally all these groups it is a case
of the men having more than
one wife, not ef wives having
extra husbands. Still, there are
places where a wife can have
more than one husband In Ti
bet, for example, many women
have more than one spov.se. A
returned traveler reported meet
ing a woman in Tibet who had
five husbands at the same tune.
The husbands did all the house
work. Some Eskimo women have
more than one husband. These
husbands also handle all the
housework. The Todas of India
usually have only one wife. Still
their life is not without variety
as to feminine companionship.
They exchange wives for brief
periods, or they borrow a
friend's wife for a week-end.
Among the Todas, a cad is a man
who will not loan his wife to a
friend.

Queries from clients. Q. I say
I saw Fred Astaire in the stage
play. The Gay Divorcee. My
brother says there never was a
stage play of that title. Please en
lighten the man. A. Hope you
didn't make a wager with your
brother because he's right. Title
of the stage play was The Gay
Divorce. When made into a film
the title was changed to the Gay
Divorcee. Q. I have offered to eat
my hat if I am not right in say
ing Gaston Chevrolet won the
1920 Indianapolis speedway auto
race. What say you? A. You
don't have to eat your hat. The

Passing By
"Buddy" Baer Erstwhile ring
man. Now an actor. Has received
wonderful notices for his per
formance in Quo Vadis. In fact,
some people think he practically
stole the picture. I liked Buddy
as a boxer. First time I saw him
in a preliminary bout I wrote:
"If anybody is going to floor
champion Joe Louis it will be
Buddy Baer." Will, sir, Buddy
did floor Louis but Joe got up
before the count of ten. . . . Doris
Day. Charming chanteuse from
Cincinnati. At the start of her
career used her real name which
is Doris Kappelhoff . Didn't want
to change it. Wished to make her
family name famous but was fi
nally persuaded to switch to
Doris Day. This brings to mind
that extremely clever comedi
enne named Elaine Stritch. As a
professional name Stritch is no
bargain. But Elaine refuses to
change it. Ever hear of a big
league ballplayer changing his
name for professional purposes?
Remember Lee Magee, clever in
fielder for the Cincinnati Reds?
His real name was Leopold
Hoernschmeyer.

"Oregon's presidential pri

I THINK it would be more ac
curate to say that Oregon's
presidential primary election
will be one of the nation's KEY
STRAW BALLOTS. So will
New Hampshire's. So will all the
EARLY ones. The later ones
won't amount to a hill of beans.
The politicians will make big
medicine out of New Hamp
shire's primary, because it will
be the FIRST. They will make
a moderate amount of political
medicine out of Oregon's pri
mary, because it will be among
the first.
But the REAL medicine will
be made at the Republican and
the Democratic national party
conventions. It is there that the
candidates will be picked. When
the time comes to do the pick
ing, all the presidential primary
elections will amount to will be
to give the politicians (who will
do the job) something to yak

PERSONALLY, I think it's
high time to throw the politi
cal convention system of nomin
ating candidates for president
onto the scrap heap, along with
election of U.S. senators by state
legislatures which went into
the scran pile long, long ago. If
we can nominate and elect sen
ators by direct vote of the peo
ple, we can certainly nominate
presidents that way.
National political party con
ventions are and always have
been a sort of an amalgam of a
Hopi Indian snake dance and a
combined camp meeting and re
vival in the Deep South where
emotional excitement becomes
so tense that half the women in
the tent get what used to be
called the "bends" and the men
are just as far off their rockers
but don't show it quite so much.
Considering all the circum
stances, I'd say that over the
long years we've got really bet
ter candidates out of political
party conventions than the sys
tem entitles us to get.
ET'S put it this way:
J
Suppose you said to yourself:
I need a foreman. The Unit
ed States of America has had a
long and honorable career. It is
now the greatest nation on
earth. It has always picked its
party candidates for president
by the process of getting every
body on a ROARING EMO
TIONAL DRUNK and taking
what came out of it. If it has
worked in getting presidents
for the country, it ought to work
in getting a FOREMAN for me.
So I'm gonna give the system a
try.".
About all I can say is that I'd
hate to be stuck with the fore
man you'd get out of such a pro
cess of selection.
CJTILL, the fact remains that
the party convention system
has brought us some of the
world's greatest leaders.
Why?
It may be because our guar
dian angel has sheltered us
under her wings during all
these long decades.
But that suggests another
thought:
Maybe our guardian angel
CAN STAND ONLY SO MUCH.
Maybe the time will come when
she will say: "This is the end.
No longer will I guard and shel
ter a people possessed of so little
gumption that they insist on
nominating their presidents at
a hoe-down like this. I'm
THROUGH!"
ANYWAY, I think it's about
time to discard our system
of nominating party presidential
candidates at a party convention
and to substitute for it a nation
wide presidential primary sys
tem under which the candidates
will actually be nominated by
the votes of the people.
