Though constantly ridiculed
by critics and columnists, Libe
race continues to be an outstand
ing attraction. Sq comments a
Chicagoan. who then adds, '"No
entertainer or act in show tisi
ness history has been so ridi
culed as Liberace and still con
tinued as a box office attrac
tion." With that claim I cannot
agree. How about the Cherry
Sisters?
Leo Woman Q
The British Princess Margaret
was born under the sign of Leo
(July 23-Aug. 22). When young,
Leo women are Inclined to let
than enthusiasm for romance
run away with their judgment.
Many marry in haste. However,
the Leo females will not stay
with an unhappy marriage very
long. That's why so many marry
more than once. Leo women
strongly brieve in the equality
of the sexes. They can only be
dominated g'hen they feel like
it. They are fond of children.
Make excellent mothers. Are not
happy uftess the leader of the
Itousehold. Like little remem
brances of things past. The hus
band of a Leo must not only re
member his wife's birthday and
wedding anniversary, but the
day they first met, the time he
first kissed her, the day she first
told him he was to become a fa
ther. And so on. When away
from home he must also write
his Leo wife a love letter every
day. Leo women have great
physical magnetism. They like
to flirt. But their fixations are
harmless. They are just trying
out their male appeal.' Or, so
say the stargazers.

Strange Things
Strange things are happening
nowadays. However, compared
with the young old timers the
Johnny -Come Latelys haven't
seen anything yet. Take the case
of Christine Jorgensen. What a
sensation that was. Yet v it
couldn't compare to a happen
ing in Chicago in the early twen
ties. At that time in Chicago a
person referred to by the press
as a "man-woman" was arrest
ed for bigamy charged with be
ing the wife of a man and the
husband of a woman. The so-
called "man-woman" afterwards
made stage appearances in Chi
cago. Pasting Br
Bob Olin. Erstwhile ringman.
Now a prosperous Manhattan
restaurateurs. One of the few
boxers to make a success of a
salloon or a restaurant. Bob has
gone far out on the limb by
stating that Archie Moore will
defeat Marciano in their coming
bout. I think Rocky will flatten
Archie in a few rounds. Less
than seven anyhow.

Dnv? (U.S) Backstairs at
the lummr; White House:
Covering the White House or
presidential campaigns some
timet maltee newsmen used to
working in odd settings, and
President Eisenhower's work-and-play
vacation is no exception.
The President has moved
around so much since first com
ing to Colorado two weeks ago
that the reporters have been
working not all over the state
but all over the country.
Within the period of a few
days, reporters assigned to the
presidential "vacation" have set
up shop temporarily in every
thing from e chartered airliner
to a tiny wooden railroad station
or a mountain roadside tavern
where the booths made ideal
places to type.
When One President was at
Fraser, Colo., for a fishing so
journ in the high Rockies, the
little railroad station was con-
verted into a crowded press
room. The Chief Executive had
hardly returned to Denver be
fore he was off again for a 48
hour whirlwind trip east by air.
Reporters found themselves
writing in a chartered airliner
and a few of them chosen by
draw as "pool" reporters in
the President's own plane, the
Columbine.
When the President landed at
Bradley Field near Hartford,
Conn., to confer with Eastern
governors about the flood cris
is, an Air National Guard hang
ar suddenly became a busy press
room for a couple of hours. The
ext day at Philadelphia, where
Mr. Eisenhower addressed the
American Bar association, the
reporters unlimbered their port
able typewriters on' outdoor
tables on the grounds of histor
ic Independence Hall and work
ed in the summer sun.
Two days later, Mr. Eisenhow
er was back at his fishing in the
Rockies near the mountain ham
let of Pine, Colo. The press
corps set up for the day in a
roadside tavern with the unlike
ly name of "Bryn Mawr Inn."
Since returning to Denver
with the President last week,
Mrs. Eisenhower has approach
ed their vacation in almost direct
ly opposite fashion to her hus
band. Mr. Eisenhower rises early
and retires early. But he ener
getically packs his days with
.work, golf, fishing, painting and
traveling.
The First Lady, on the other
hand, has been taking it easy
for the first few days". She has
been resting a lot and visiting
quietly with her mdther, Mrs.
John S. Doud, in the comfort
able grey-brick family home on
elm-shaded Lafayette st.
When Mrs. Eisenhower alight
ed after the flight from Washing
ton, she told friends she intend
ed to "just sit on the front
porch." Figurately, at least, that
is what she's been doing.
The President's newest limou
sine, which he used in Philadel
phia, combines the advantages
of a convertible without the dan
gers of standing up in an open
car.
The specially - built Chrysler
has a panel in the top which
slides back much like a "sky
view" taxi-cab. The President
merely stands up and can wave
to the crowds over the top of
the car.
But the effect is odd-looking.
As one reporter remarked, "He
looks like he's coming out of a
man-hole."
One of the President's broth
ers, Edgar Eisenhower, a Ta
coma, Wash., attorney, got mixed
up in Philadelphia over where
he was supposed to ride in the
presidential motorcade from the
hotel to Independence hall.
He tried to get into a big open
touring car in which Secret Ser
vice agents follow immediately
behind the President's limousine.
They quickly, but politely, bar
red him, but just as quickly
found him a seat in a car furth
er back.
