New Agreement
A Nkhol's Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Feature Writer
Washington CU.F) Nobody is
going to back me in p corner
and tell me how to vote.
But at the
moment, I
have an "I
Like I ke"
Hanky in the
pocket of my
jacket. There's
another one in
my right hip
pocket for
practical pur-
Harman Nichols poses Only.
On my feet are a pair of "Ike"
stockings. One red; the other
blue. Complimentary tints, they
say. All I have to do to adver
tise the fact that the man in
the White House wants a new
lease on it is to sit in a soda
bar and lift a pantleg.
These items of attire were
gathered at a local hotel where
Republican political leaders de
scended upon us. It was almost
impossible not to walk away
without evidence that you had
visited the GOP camp.
Collectors of buttons and
bows were all over the place and
a press agent made sure they
didn't miss a wrinkle.
Back there before the last
election the "I Like Ike" decora
tions were popular in certain
tircles. With the GOP convention
toming up in San Francisco,
tome things have been changed,
Still Liked
Now it's buttons like "I Still
Like Ike." Another mellon sized
button that could cover a whole
bosom says: "For The Love Of
Ike Vote Republican."
There also is a balloon that
even a kid can puff out. When
he sits on it or squeezes it, a
raspy something comes out that
sounds a little like "Ike."
There 'are both items for the
tots who will be voters later.
A "T" shirt with a likeness of
our leader on the front side, for
instance. The one I picked up
was size 3.
"r happen to be a 42. It hung
over my parakeet. Timmy, like
an overgrown shawl. But a
three-year-old toddler next door
thought it was nice and is run
ning around the neighborhood
spreading the Republican gospel.
Candy, Too
You also can get Ike candy
for the young fry.
Another thing on exhibit was
a cigarette holder pleading a
cause. It was pretty, flimsy, but
if you pack it away, it might
last until election day.
My wife hates raincoats on
account of she has a closet full
of sprinkle, sticks. But the Re
publicans have them in rainbow
colors with big bold letters:
"Womanpower For Eisenhower."
For women who must act like
omen and stay in the kitchen,
there are pot holders. Magnetized
and bear the "Ike" label. Only
gatherings at small parties will
ever see these holders for the
pots, but they are there, none-the-less,
for the looking.
When the man handed me a
bow tie with an "Ike" on each
wing, I had to turn it in for a
dangler or the long kind of
tie. I never learned to tie a bow.

However, he said through a

Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Prett Correspondent
Hollywood (U.R) Margaret
Truman's first public appearance
after her honeymoon will be
the television
show all the
stars are
scrambling for
t he p i c k
your - role
"Matinee The
ater" on NBC
This dramatic
show, the most
amazing oper-
Aline Mosby ation in amaz
ing television, is on the air so
often every day for an hour
that stars can take any offbeat
casting their frustrated hearts
desire.
Richard Boone, the steely-eyed
doctor of "Medic," played Heath
cliff in "Wuthering Heights" on
the show. Alan Young soon will
do his first dramatic part on
"Matinee Theater." Judy Canova
and Leo Durocher are among
other celebrities who turned
dramatic thespians for the color
program.
Old Maid Role
Now the ex-President's daughter-will
appear in an . unusual
drama. She'll play an old maid.
"Now she can play it with
a great degree of confidence
knowing nobody will take it
personally," said Albert Mc
Cleery, producer of "Matinee
Theater."
Giving stars chances they
don't get on other shows is only
one triumph of this Emmy
Award-winning program.
Today six-month-old "Matinee
Theater" completes its 122nd
show more than "Studio One"
or "Kraft Theater" do in two
years.
Script Problem
One daily problem is finding
scripts. But McCleery keeps
ahead of the story-devouring
program and is looking for
Thanksgiving material. Eight di
rectors rotate at directing the
show. A staff of 23 persons does
nothing but work on scripts as
large a staff as many a book pub
lisher's. So far McCleery has discover
ed 12 new writers "There's no

con said the organizations have
brought "into good repute being
which the local bureau is a mem- in debt."
such thing as a starving play
wright with our show around
only lazy ones" and several new
players including Hope Lange,
now in the movies' "Bus' Stop."
"At first we had trouble get
ting stars for the show," said
McCleery. "Now they're asking
us for scripts."
