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.

Sifter Said Paid
More Than Teacher
Chicago (U.R) The president
of the National Education asso
ciation told American parents
last night they must decide
which is more important for
their children, the teacher or the
baby sitter.
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.

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!

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.
