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.

Shlpmajt
Why is It you never see a
red-haired librarian? 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.
