Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
Minneapolis, Minn. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.) on his
chances in the presidential primaries:
"I feel I will make a good showing in all of them and will go
into the convention with more delegates than I had in 1952."
Houston, Tex. Texas Gov. Allen Shivers advocating interposi
tion and opposing integration in the state's schools:
"If we demand tolerance from others as a mark of our freedom.
w should not be intolerant of their views. If we demand the right
to speak freely, meet freely, worship freely, we have a responsi
bility to accord the same privilege to others."
Washington Gov. Orville Freeman of Minnesota predicting
Adlai Stevenson will win by a 2-to-l margin in his state's primary:
"There is absolutely no indication that Stevenson will with
draw if he loses in Minnesota. He is in this campaign to fight to the
end."
Shelbyville, Ind. Furniture factory owner William S. Speigel
on his reaction when employees volunteered to work free at the
factory he was forced to close because of insufficient capital:
"I was crying too hard. Some of them had their little boys with
them, and you know darn well that some of them didn't have a
dime to eat on.
Tokyo Secretary of State John Foster Dulles on a possible
shift to economic aid in Southeast Asia to combat Communist in

prove." Washington Rep. A. S. Herlong Jr. (D.-Fla.) on the "southern
manifesto" signed by 101 southern members of the Legislature op-
osing the Supreme Court's desegregation ruling:
"Anyone who will bother to think for a minute will realize that
the situation between the races certainly has deteriorated since the
Supreme Court handed down its decision requiring the forced in
tegration of our schools." - ,

Congressional Tax Writers Cool
To Political Campaign Deductions
Washington (U.R) Congres
sional tax writers were cool to
daj to a Senate proposal to
grant income tax deductions of
up to SI 00 on political campaign
contributions.
The proposal is one of several
provisions incorporated into a
"clean elections" bill introduced
in the Senate but not yet acted
upon. The measure has the bi
partisan backing of Senate
leaders. Eighty-five of the 96
senators have signed up as its
sponsors.
It is designed to encourage
more people to help finance po
litical campaigns.
Plan Opposed
But three members of the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee indicated today in sepa-
duction provision will have to be lief whatever under the senate
revamped considerably if it is to
win congressional aproval in ad
vance of this year's election
campaign.
Rep. Herman P. Eberhart CD

the tax benefits under the pro
posal would be limited largely
to the well-to-do.
He said a taxpayer taxed at
the top rate of 91 per cent
could make a campaign . contri
bution of S100 at a net cost
of only S9, since he would save
S91 on his tax bill.
On the other hand, Eberhart
said, millions of taxpayers of
modest income who use the stan

stead of itemizing their tax de
rate interviews that the tax de- ductions would get no tax re-

Every Monday I get a haircut.
I just had in advance of me
a man who gets a haircut once
in every five weeks. It took
the barbP- 45 minutes to give
that client a clip. It then took
him just 11 minutes to give
n.e a haircut. We both paid
the same price, $1.50. Is that
justice? A once a week haircut
customer should get a special
rate. I may launch one of my
bitter campaigns in an effort;
to bring this about.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q
What is the length of the aver
age thoroughbred race horse?
I have in mind the use of the
term lengths to indicate a
horse's margin of victory or de-1
feat. A The average thorough
bred measures eight feet when
standing stUl and about ten feet
wh extended, that is, when
running. So if it is said a horse
won by "two lengths," it means
by about feet. . . . Q How

Eliza Doolittle. the flower girl,

Mrs. Campbell was 49 when she
first portrayed Eliza Doolittle.
She played the part again in a
revival when she was 55.

"Loveliest of all is the woman
born in October. Beautiful in her
figure, wonderful to behold in
her brownish or reddish hair.
Her voice is sweet and seduc
tive. Curved are her lips but
fickle is her heart, for she is the
queen of women and can have
her pick of lovers." Such was
the claim of an ancient as
trologer. Opera
During the management of
Gatti Casazza. the Metropolitan
Opera House was operated at a
profit. But consider the box of
fice attractions Gatti had. As
for example, the cast of one
performance of "Madame But
terfly" was Caruso, Farrar and
Scotti. Compare this array of
talent with the casts of present
day productions of the same
opera at the "Met."

Gypsy Rose Lee. The discreet

name is Louise Hovick. Her
father was a Seattle newspaper
man. The first, extremely suc

was Lillian Russel. Her father
was editor and publisher of the

Get It Right
"You are right in saying that
Langtry. Tex., is named in honor
of a railroad man and not Lily
Langtry, the actress," writes a
Californian. "However, as to a
town named after an actress,
don't forget Jenny Lind, Calif.,
which is about 30 miles east of
Stockton."
Among the Married
Frequently discussed has been
the legal , aspect of the matter
of a wife appropriating money
from her husband's pocket while
he is sleeping. There has been
a switch in this situation. A hus
band, with a career girl wife,
has been accused of "stealing"
money from her handbag. A legal
authority, says the law views a
man and wife as one person.- So,
as you cannot steal from your
self, a husband cannot be ac
cused of theft if he lifts some
money from his wife's handbag.
Weslinghouse Strike
Hopes on Increase
Washington (U.R) Hopes
rose today for settlement of the
155 - day Westinghouse strike,
the nation's longest major walk
out. They were based on the fact
that the AFL-CIO Electrical
Workers union summoned a
meeting tonight of its top West
inghouse policy-making body
a conference board composed of
representatives from each of the
union's Westinghouse locals.
Bob Nellis, chairman of the
conference board, would not say
specifically whether a new strike
settlement move would be sub
mitted to the board by union
negotiators. But a union spokes
man said the board "must act"
before the strike can be settled
and "You don't call them to
gether unless you have some
thing." It was understood changes
were suggested to both union
and company in the package set
tlement proposal made earlier
by federal mediators.
Republican Leaders
Call Conference to
Consider Problems
Washington (U.R) Republi
can party leaders organized for
an early start on campaign plan
ning today . by calling a small
scale convention four months
ahead of their big show in Au
gust. The GOP National Commit
tee announced that about 800
Republicans from Congress and
the party organization had been
invited to meet here April 16
and 17 for the planning session.
It will be called the "Republi
can National Conference on the
1955 Presidential and Congres
sional Campaign."
Early Planning in Order
Early planning was in order
this year because the -GOP na
tional convention meets at San
Francisco Aug. 20, only two
weeks before the traditional La
bor' Day start of political cam
paigns. With renomination of the Ei
senhower - Nixon ticket now
taken for granted, these qther
problems are now getting Re
publican attention:
1. How to adjust campaign
techniques for increased use of
television, particularly in the
light of President Eisenhower's
announced refusal to conduct a
barnstorming campaign.
2. How to regain control of
Congress in the face" of evidence
that GOP congressional tickets
have had less appeal to the vot
ers than, Mr. Eisenhower.
Because of the lineup of Sen
ate seats at stake this year, the
Republicans have an uphill pull
in front of them to win back the
Senate even if they win the
White House again.
In announcing the meeting
next month, National Commit
tee Chairman Leonard W. Hall,
said the party faces "a tough
battle" but "can and must win
a strong working majority in the
Senate and House."
Invitations Sent
Invitations were sent to all
Republican members of Con
gress, national committee mem
bers, state chairmen and vice
chairmen, members of 'the na
tional finance committee and
the chairmen of the fund-raising
"Salute to Eisenhower" dinners
held Jan. 20. - - .
The agenda calls, for a state
chairmen's conference, a series
of meetings to deal with indi
vidual state election plans and
a general discussion of the presi
dential and congressional cam
aigns.
GOP headquarters already
has ordered national TV and ra
dio network time to cost more
than S2,000,000 and has estimat
ed that upwards of $7,000,000
more will go for this purpose in
state and local Republican campaigns.
bill.
Provide Tax Credit
Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.), sug
gested in a separate interview
that it might be better to work
out a compromise proposal
which would benefit all cam
paign contributors, large and
small. He suggested this could
be done, by providing a tax
credit for those who use the
standard 10 per cent deduction
for others.
But Rep. Robert W. Kean (R
N.J.), said he isn't convinced
that tax relief for political con
tributions is a good idea at all.
He said every time tax relief is
granted for special purposes it
delays the day when tax rates
can be reduced for everybody.
