ft Congress Asked For Reappraisal Of Television "Washington :U.R Congress was asked today to make an ''agonizing reappraisal" of gov ernment policies toward televi sion a "voracious monster which consumes Shakespeare, talent and money at a fearful rate." Broadcaster and newspaper publisher Mark Ethridge made the plea for "sober considera tion" at the 33rd annual conven tion of the National Association of Radio and Television Broad casters just before President Eisenhower was scheduled to appear. In a speech prepared for de livery, the NARTB Keynote Award winner charged that the "scramble for licenses" amid technical, legal and political pressure has "threatened to en gulf" the Federal Communica tions commission and makes for "ill-considered regulation." Ethridge, owner of WHAS, WHAS-TV and publisher of the Louisville Courier - Journal and g the Louisville Times, questioned whether the commission has the "power under an "antiquated act" to regulate as it should in modern-day circumstances and whether the "economic and so cial impact" of TV makes it de sirable to review the question of network regulation.

Right now, she said, the baby sitter is paid at a higher rate. Miss Maurine Walker of Aus tin, Tex., said in a speech at the convention of the National Con gress of Parents and Teachers that ''most of us are living pret ty high off the hog." "We are the only people in the world who are concerned with the questions 'where can I park?' and 'how can I reduce?' " she said. "How can we pretend, in the midst of plenty, that it's all right to dump children into packed classrooms and cheat them of their educational birth right?" Responsibilities of schools and parents were discussed earlier by Mrs. Newton P. Leonard, Providence, R.I., president of the national PTA, and Mrs. Lillian Eans, Victoria, B.C., president of the" Canadian PTA. The three-day convention ends tomorrow. On The Side ey e. v.

Are lawyers the best bosses for secretaries? If so, why? Seek ing the record for continuous em ployment of a secretary by the same man I found an astonish ing number of Girl Fridays for legal lights had worked for the same man for many years. The list was topped by Jane Hum phreys of Los Angeles, who worked as a secretary for At torney Isidore Dockweiler of that city for over 50 years! Then there was a new York lawyer who had the same secretary for 47 years. Now I have heard from Sudie Himel of Beaumont, Tex., who has been the secre tary of Samuel C. Lipscomb, an attorney, for 38 years. Inci dentally, Sudie says that in all that time, her boss has never spoken a cross word to her! Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who was featured in the original pro duction of the play titled "Shore Leave," on which the musical "Hit the Deck," is based? Who was in the original stage musical version? A.

Serving Medford Continuously For Over 20 Years OUR POPULATION IS STEADILY INCREASING tut CROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT cast included Charles King, Lou ise Groody and Stella Mayhew That was in 1927. Horses and Women Research reveals the average woman takes seven minutes and fifteen seconds to get dressed readv to eo out. If she has a full leneth rear view mirror in her dressing room it takes her twice as long. To be exact, 16 minutes, 30 seconds. However, if vour wife has a full length rear mirror don't complain about waiting for her a little longer. Be thankful. The mirror will prevent her from going out with her skirt lull of wrinKies in me back, making it appear as she has been sleeping on a park bench. Such a mirror might also prevent a plump wife from go ing out in public attired in slacks. Those Nylont The bitter campaign of our countrywomen for better wear ing nvlons is setting results. In fact, there now seems no reason for a woman to worry about ny lons wearing out in an extremely brief period. The manufacturers are offering guaranteed hosiery. For examDle. one manufacturer guarantees a pair of his stockings to wear 60 days or the buyer will be provided with a new pair free of charge. Sidelights Here's a simDle Question that baffles a surprising number of Deonle who consider themselves well informed. What city in this country with a population ol over 400,000 is named after a man who was once vice presi dent of the United States? . women who have large eyes have an intense love of luxury and are never really happy with out it. Or, so say the character analysts. Record What's the coast to coast speed record for a loaded auto truck? That's what a New Yorker asks. Only record I know of is that made by E. C. "Cannon Ball" Baker, who some years ago drove a two ton truck, loaded ' to capacity, from New York to San Francisco in five days, 17 hours and 30 minutes. Name Chanaino Dissatisfaction continues with voune women as to the names their parents gave them. Chica goan informs me she has chang ed her name from Helen to Helynne. She doesn't say why. Perhaps she thinks Helynne has I more class than Helen, men again she may be a numerology enthusiast and wanted a first name with seven letters in it.
