'Dark Horse7 Seen as
Possible Democratic
Nominee
Washington (U.R) Sen.
John C. Stennis (D-Miss.), said
today he thinks there is a good
chance that a "dark horse" may
win the Democratic presidential
nomination next year.
This comment to a reporter
reflected a belief among many
Democrats, particularly in the
South, that the nomination may
well go to someone other than
the three now considered the
strongest candidates.
These three are Adlai E. Stev
enson, 1952 nominee, Gov. Av
erell Harriman of New York and
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee. Sen. Richard B. Russel (D-Ga.)
Mr. Southern Democrat in the
Senate, suggested to reporters
Tuesday that Gov. Frank J.
Lausche of Ohio was one "dark
horse" possibility. He denied he
was launching a boom for

Washington (U.R) What's new

Sinclair Weeks, the secretary
of Commerce, is the walkingest
member of
Ike's cabinet.
He lives in the
George town
area of Wash

three miles

way. The oth

Weeks showed up about two
minutes before the show was to
go on. "It was quite a walk,"
the secretary said.

Somebody started a rumor
that the government has a bunch
of surplus jeeps all carted and
ready . to sell for $25 apiece.
There's nothing to it, folks. The
Army Surplus Division is getting
tired of writing letters to people
from all over the country. The
come-on to the rumor was that
the Army would buy the jeeps
back for $50 within five years,
"in case of emergency."' That's a
lie, too. Fact is, the only Army
jeeps for sale are those that can't
be economically repaired and

Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chief
of staff of the Army, the other
day asked a bunch of young par
atroop recruits why they chose
that rugged branch of the serv
ice. One kid said he didn't care
too much about jumping out of
airplanes, but he liked to be
around men who "like to jump
out of airplanes. ' The general,
who commanded the famous
82nd Airborne Division in World
War II, nodded in understand
ing. "That makes two of us, sol
dier," he said.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation reported in its news
letter:
"Our shortage of soft drink
bottles, principally at the sixth
floor machine, now amounts to
more than 12 cases. Please check
your drawers and filing cabi
nets." '
Civilian pilots are getting old
er. The Civilian Aeronautics Ad
ministration reports that right
now more than 75,000 fliers are
over 40, and the largest percent
age of pilots is between 30 and
39. That compares with figures
from 1946 when the 20 to 29 age
group was largest. The CAA fig
ures that a lot of wheels now fly
their own small planes and a
lot of wheels are old! over 40,
that is.
The Pentagon reports that Pfc.
Francis I. Steinberg, of Staten
Island, N. Y was unpacking
some wet-cell batteries when he
found a little note saying "good
luck."
The handwriting looked famil
iar, so he took it back to his bar
racks and compared the note to
his girl friend's handwriting. It
matched. She happens to work
in a plant about 10 blocks from
his house back home. The girl,
Pat Stern, owned up to the note
and said she put a "good luck"
note in all of the packages she
sent to the 32nd Infantry, 7th
Division.
The Hawthorne, N. J., drum
and bugle corps had a lot of
tough luck at the American Le

gurgly and the drums weren't
thumpable. The New Jersey boys
finished .fourth. The uniforms
were so soaked the boys couldn't
march the next day. On the way
home, the truck lugging the uni
forms caught fire in Neptune,

Hungry Boys Solve
Pie Freezing Problem
New Brunswick, N. J. (U.R)
When Dr. Walter A. MacDnn, a
food specialist and professor at
Rutgers University, was at odds
with food editors on whether
to freeze pies before or after
baking, he knew where to go
for a panel of experts.
What better tasting jury than
10 hungry boys, all less than 10
years old?
The 75 editors, representing
newspapers, magazines and ra
dio stations on the eastern sea
board, had contended after sam
plying some of Dr. Maclinn's
pies mostly apple that the
ones frozen before baking tasted
best.
But Dr. Maclinn was skepti
cal. So he rounded up the boys
and assembled them in Buc
cleuch Park. .
with me down the line," the
"The youngsters went along
professor reported. "They
couldn't detect any difference
in flavor between the 'before'
and the 'after' frozen pies. And
what's more, they thought I was
a good cook." '

that it had been stolen again

Lausche or that he was ready
yet to throw his support to any
candidate. '
Middle of Road
Russell did say that Lausche is
regarded in the South as a "mid
dle of the roader" whereas oth
er candidates are viewed as "a
little far to the left." He also
said he thinks Lausche would be
a "very strong candidate" if
nominated. '
"Naturally, I would prefer a
middle of the road candidate,"
he said.
Stennis declined to comment
on Lausche or other potential
Democratic standard bearers but
said he believes "that there is
a good chance for a dark horse."
Russell reiterated his belief
that Stevenson now looks like
the most likely winner of the
Democratic nomination. He also
repeated that he has no inten
tion of seeking the nomination
himself as he did in 1952, when
he was backed by almost solid
support from the South.
Some Southern senators, and
some Democrats outside of the
south, would like to support Sen
ate Democratic Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson if he is not ruled out
because of his health. Johnson
suffered a heart attack July 2.
Warren Candidacy Seen
Russell said he knew nothing
of Mr. . Eisenhower's intentions
either but that he has , long be
lieved that the Republicans
would nominate Chief Justice
Earl Warren if the President
does not seek a second term.
