SFtCIALISTS IN HOMEWARtSt WIST 6th STRUT PHONI 2.5101 Democrats Schedule Platform Hearings Washington (U.R) Public hearings will be held at Chicago starting July 16 to help draft the Democratic party's 1952 plat form, has been announced. House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack, chairman of the Democratic National Con vention's platform and resolu tions committee, said the hear ings will be conducted by a tub- committee. ing recent months took personal responsibility to make certain that hundreds of details were completed in time for the big show. For weeks, he worked in head quarters in a downtown hotel with a small corps of workers. Then he became a major fig ure In the tug-of-war being wag ed by Sen. Robert A. Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the GOP presidential nomina tion. The arrangements committee, predominately pro-Taft, named Gen. Douglas MacArthur, a Taft backer, as keynoter for the con vention with Eisenhower sup porters offering a scattering of "no" votes. Not Given Dual Job In a departure from tradition, however, MacArthur was not given the usual dual job of tem porary chairman. That Job went to Hallanan without any "no" voles heard. Hallanan claimed "unanimous election" to the job. But Eisen hower supporters said they were disheartened because the Taft group "bulled" through the Mac- Arthur selection and they didn t bother to vote for or against Hal lanan. Hallanan is an avowed Taft man. But in an exchange with Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, a leader in the "I Like Ike" movement, Hal lanan promised that during the few hours he will be at the ros trum he will give all candidates the fairest shake possible. , In Control During Seating In addition to calling the con vention to order, Hallanan will be at the controls during the period when the credentials com mittee renders its report on a large number of contests in which opposing groups of dele gates from such states as Texas will seek to be seated. By his power to recognize whomever he chooses on the floor, Hallanan could exercise considerable influence over the course of the meeting before turning the gavel over to the permanent chairman who prob ably will be Rep. Joseph W. Mar tin Jr. of Massachusetts. Hallanan, who is 58, is a poli tician's politician and a business man's businessman. He was el ected as West Virginia GOP na tional committeeman in 1928 at the age of 33 and has been reelected six times. More recent ly, he has served as vice chair man of the national committee. Hallanan insists that his party duties are only a sideline. His first love is the oil business which he entered In 1923 when he was elected president of Ply mouth Oil. as personal as... .

I asked a red-haired young woman about this and she said: "Library work is too dull for the red-head. We like excitement." I also put the query to a brunette librarian. She said: Most red-haired wo men are very attractive, but are not noted for their intellectual capacity. They are not naturally suited for library work. They make better manicurists, re ceptionists, sales persons, nurses and movie actresses." Keeping Cool Women have much less dif ficulty than men in keeping cool in the good old summer time. Of course, they wear less cloth es than men. Exactly what the entire summer outfit of the av erage woman weighs I can't say. I figure about three ounces. Wearing less clothes, however, is not entirely the reason for the summer comfort of females. Nature has a hand in it. A wo man does not start perspiring un til the temperture hits between 90 and 95. Men start perspiring at a temperature of 85. Inciden tally, men are at a great dis advantage at summer dances. While his feminine partner re mains cool and fresh as a daisy the heat soon gets the better of the male dancer. Do you know why Arabians wear those flow ing robes? That is the coolest type of costume for intense heat. So mister, if you get too hot and bothered on an August day why not try an Arab costume? Will not only keep you cool, but may advance your interests with the ladies. You will look like a sheik. Bargain Hunter A charming lady named Mrs. Helene Hathaway Britton, was once the owner and president of the St. Louis National league baseball club. Mrs. Britton, ev en as your wife and mine, was a bargain hunter. She said to her chief scout Bob Connery: "I want you to make a tour of all the Class D club towns in the country to look for bargains in young ballplayers. Connery followed instructions and came back with quite a bargain, a 19 year-old player of the Denison, Tex., Class D team for whose contract he paid only $500. That player's name was Rogers Horns by, who developed, as you know into the greatest right hand hit' ter in the history of baseball. Briefly Want an idea for a good snap py song and dance tune? Write one titled Chichicastenango, pronounced Chee-chee-cast-ten-ango. It is the name of a place in Guatemala. It really has rythm It was Elsa Max well who said: "Heavy women command more attention than friends. They're not such bores thin ones and usually have more always pre - occupied with clothes All large women should wear black." Elsa is five feet three Inches In height, and weighs 215 pounds. Sidelights Another accessory high on me list of best sellers to women is earrings. A small shop special izing in the sale of earrings di rectly and by mail might prove a highly profitable enterprise . . . Note a reference to "ergi phobia." That is a dislike for work. I have it. And how I hate work . . . One of Mexico City's best restaurants is called "La Cucaracha," which means the cockroach. However, I still think the world's most curious ly named restaurant is Ptomaine Tommy's, Los Angeles. Mules and Men Apparently finding the choos ing of the ten best-dressed men in the U. S. A., a rather dull way to pass the time, a group of mod els decided to name the ten males in the country having the most sex appeal. Among those named was Joe DiMaggio. Com ment on Mr. DiMaggto'a seleu. tion- was: ' He has large feet which point outward when he walks, which indicates a man who Is very passionate." Very interesting. I have large feet, but they don't point outward. That is, not any more. They used to but a doctor told me it I didn't keep my feet straight when wal king I would get foot trouble.. Pioneer The great majority of bibli cal films have been successlul. Cecil B. De Mille was not the pioneer in this type of picture. Over forty years ago, in 1911, to be exact, the Kalem Film Co., produced a picture titled, "From the Manger to The Cross," this film directed by Sidney Olcott, cost $35,000 to produce and , made a profit of over a $1,000,. 000 for the producers.
