Four men and a woman were adrift 90 days. (International) A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) It looks as if, this being an election year, President Eisenhower again will haul off and pitch the first pill to open the baseball season. This sort of relaxes things in the front office of the Wilson Sporting Goods outfit Harman Nichols wnicn always hand-tools a glove for our leader. One year Mr. Eisenhower said he would, then changed his Blind and took off for Georgia to play golf. Dick Nixon, the vice president stood by as the relief hurler. But it rained, and Ike came back and did the hon ors himself. That meant two ex pensive gloves, one for the Pres ident and one for Nixon. An officer of the Internal Revenue Service was walking down the hall the other day when he ran across a 90-year-old fellow leaning on a cane. "May I help you onto an ele vator, or something?" the tax man asked. 'No, sir," the old timer said. "I can travel. I'm the happiest man in the world. I just learned that I am retired and won't have to pay you lugs another cent as long as I live. Howdy, man!" The Post Office Department got this report from a Charles ton, S.C. mailman. He says he picked up a letter with a pen ciled notation saying: "If this doesn't get there in 30 days, please walk faster." The Post Office also hears that a lady was having a little trouble with the "Mail-o-mat" machine in the post office sub station in New York's Grand Central Station. Abraham Salo- way offered to help. "Want to mail something?" he asked. "Young man," the lady said, "All I want is a soda." Abraham obligingly fetched one from across the lobby. The congressional baseball teams are not training in the South this year. Too busy. But the charity Washington Star game will be staged at Grif fith Stadium June 19, anyway. The managers will be Sid Her long of Florida for the Demo crats and Glenn Davis of Wis consin for the Republicans,. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Why did you promise love to me And not that promise keep? Why did you swear my eyes were bright Yet leave those eyes to weep? How could you say my face was fair And yet that face forsake? How could you win my heart let leave that heart to break? Mallett. What article do worrien lose most? Answer is, umbrellas. Rec ords of "lost and found" depart ments reveal women lose ten times as many umbrellas as men. Women try to think of too many things at the same time. That's why they are always forgetting some of their possessions. Fe males should have their um brellla attached to a belt. There Is on the market a combination belt and umbrella holder. The umbrella fits into a scabbard like a sword. A Regular Fellow Nowadays more attention is paid to Lincoln's birthday than Washington's birthday. That is, by commentators. To this I strongly object. Lincoln was a great man. But Washington was a far greater one. Incidentally, our school histories are greatly lacking in detail as to the pri vate life of George Washington. So the average person's knowl edge of the life of our first Pres ident is not what it should be. Washington was what we call "a regular fellow." The type of man most men greatly admire personally. He was a scientific farmer, a distiller of fine liquor and owner and breeder of thor oughbreds. He liked to give par ties. His favorite kind of party was a clambake. He was an en thusiastic fisherman, an ardent duck hunter, a clever billiard player and skillful at cards. He liked to dance. At 64 he was still dancing every dance at balls. He died after catching cold on a long horseback ride in the winter. It was Col. Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee who said of Washington: "To the memory of the man, first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen." Asking Queries from clients. Q Who introduced the song titled "Sleepy Time Gal"? A Evelyn Nesbit. Incidentally, Evelyn, who was quite a songster in her days as a vaudevillian. also in troduced, "Yes, We Have No Bananas" and 'Sprinkle Me With Kisses So My Love Will Grow." Q What is the difference be- 1 tween the turf terms "handily" and 'breezing" as applied to workouts? A "Handily" means the horse was permitted to have his own way as to speed. "Breez ing" means the animal was held under restraint. Get It Right Regarding the question as to who originated crepes suzette. Get it right. Crepes suzette were originated by Prosper Montagne, then chef at the Cafe de Pans, Monte Carlo. Were first concoct ed for King Edward VIII of Eng land and named after Suzette an attractive flower girl His Majesty admired. Hoises and Women :"As to how you should be rated as an expert on horses; I cannot say," writes a feminine subscriber. "But what you don't know about women would fill several very large sized books For example, you repeatedly refer to a kiss on the cheek as a chilly situation. A kiss on the cheek can be very thrilling if properly bestowed. So can a kiss on the neck or shoulder. That is; from the woman's point of view. Most men, particularly Amer ican men, aref inexcusably awkward when kissing a woman on the lips." Washington U.R; Federal mediators made a new try to day at settling the' 149-day West inghouse Electric Corp. strike. Chances of settlement were brighter. Mediators called a meeting of company and union negotiators the first meeting since the company accepted and the union rejected a mediators' package contract proposal last week. Both sides agreed to attend. And the striking AFL-CIO Elec trical Workers Union announced that at least one of its main ob jections to the package proposal one regarding shifting incen tive workers to hourly wage rates is removed. The union also proposed a set tling of its other major objec tion one regarding discharged strikers which it said would fit in with the contract proposal. The union originally had termed the proposal "unaccept able in its present form." But the union made public a series of letters between the mediation panel, the company and the union on the panel's settlement proposal. And in re leasing the correspondence, union President James B. Carey said the union "has made every I possible attempt to reassume ne gotiations" following its action last week in turning down the panel proposals - The panel's ' settlement pro posal called for a 5-year con tract with wage increases rang ing from a minimum of 25 cents an hour over the period. Kafe Smith To Return To Television Shows New York -XI.P.) Ted Collins, manager and business associate of singer Kate Smith for the past 25 years, said last night he will announce soon the date when Miss Smith will return to tele vision. Collins was reported improv ing from a heart attack which put him in an oxygen tent in January. Miss Smith, who also is a close personal friend of Collins, said at the time she would not sing again unless he recovered. Collins has returned to his home and said Miss Smith would keep the .five engagements for which she signed with television showman Ed Sullivan. She has until June 24 to keep the engagements. The panel also recommended that 57 of 98 strikers discharged for alleged violence be rein stated and that the cases of the remaining 36 be submitted to arbitration. The union had fteen holding out for reinstatement of all the ; workers, but last week indi-1 cated some willingness to send i some to arbitration. The union also said that "clarifying" language regarding shifts of incentive workers to hourly wage rates "constitutes a satisfactory basis for reducing this matter to contract provis ions." The panel submitted the clari fying language on the matter in a letter to the union over the week end. PICTURE TUBES REJUVENATED Is your picture tube dull and weak?
