A NichoV$ Worth of . .r. ; ; Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pren Fcstue Wrifer Washington (U.R). What's new in Washington: A. high school in the Wash ington area has placed a ban on 'teenaged boys wearing skin tight jeans to classes. The head master even sent a few kids home. This prompted a letter to the editor of the Washington Daily News: This controversy about students wearing skin tight jeans is embarrassing , to us." The memo was signed "George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, et al." Freshman Congresslady Coya Knutson, the Democrat from Minnesota, says in her news letter that she is happy to be the first woman in history ever' to be on the House Agriculture Committee. At the first meeting of the group, Rep. Watkins Ab bitt; the Democrat from Virginia was the host. He passed around ."fresh, plump peanuts."

One of the FBI's many chores is to help trap Army deserters. J. Edgar Hoover's office tells this one. An agent went looking for an AWOL soldier. He walked into, the man's home and asked the boy's mother where he was. She said she hadn't seen him' for about six months. The agent spied an Army, jacket oh a door knob and remarked it must have been hanging there a long time.
