Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Prats Correspondent
Las Vegas, Nev. (U.P.) The
longest-playing entertainer in
Las Vegas is a comedian the big'
name stars
line up to see
so they can
take lessons
and steal his
lines.
The object
of this admira
tion is a home
ly burlesque
comic named
Aline Mosby Hank Henry
who's been holding forth on the
ame stage in this gambling cap
ital for six years. Hank is the
star of a burlesque show in the
Silver Slipper, a western-style
"saloon" that stands on a replica
of western street next to the
New Frontier hotel.
At Hank's 3 a.m. show (floor
hows run around the clock in
Las Vegas and you're a sissy if
you go to bed before 6 a.m.) you
can see stars from the big hotels
around town. Show folk from
Jack Carson and Jerry Lewis to
chorus girls and musicians jam
the tiny club to hoot and roar at
the gags and sketches.
Humor Corny
The humor is broad and corny
but at 3 a.m. it's hilarious.
Hank claims his place is the last
stronghold in the country of true
burlesque, in. which comedians
and not strippers are the main
show. His greatest compliment
is that many of his sketches and
gags show up in big-name acts
around Las Vegas.
Hank, a master of the "double
take" and "slow burn," started
in show business 30 years ago by
doing impromptu acts in speak
easies around New York. After
working as a clown in carnivals,
he went to Grossinger's Resort
in the Catskills to entertain for
a week and stayed eight years.
Don Hartman, now a big Holly
wood producer, was social direc
tor at the resort then. Dore
Schary, now MGM chief, was
editor of the hotel newspaper.
Attraction Told
Henry worked at Minsky's
burlesque in New York, sharing
the stage with Phil Silvers, Rags
Ragland, Red Buttons, Jackie
Gleason and Abbott & Costello.
Bob Alda was his straight man.
Later he toured with musical
comedies such as "The Student
Prince" and "Kiss Me Kate" and
"This Is the Army."
While his colleagues from
Minskys wound up in TV, Henry
went back to keeping burlesque
alive. He was happy to settle
down in Las Vegas where he's a
respected, modest family man
with an ex-chorine wife and
three children.
"I'm happy to be here," he
said. "Success is having peace of
mind and being happy at what
you're doing, and making a good
living."

Harriman, Tired,
Heads Home After
Tour Through West
Reno, Nev. U.R) Gov. Aver
ell Harriman of New York, ex
hausted after a six-state tour of
the West, leaves today for home.
Harriman was scheduled ' to
fly to San Francisco and from
there catch a flight for New
York.
During the course of his west
ern tour, Harriman announced
he is a "non-active" candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Faltered in Speech
Thursday night Harriman
spok e to a Nevada Jefferson
Jackson dinner in Reno. He was
obviously tired and once or
twice faltered in the course of
his remarks.
However, he minced no words
when it came to the subject of
the Republican administration,
which he charged favored big
business.
He said 1955 will be known as
the "billion dollar year a bil
lion dollar profit for General
Motors and a billion dollar loss
of income for farm families."
He said Republicans "have
never learned what we Demo
crats have always known that
our towns and cities cannot en
joy prosperity in the long run
when there are hard times on
the farm and in many small .
businesses." i
"What's good for the farmer
is good for General Motors," he
added. j
No Plea for Support j
Harriman made no plea for
support from the uninstructed I
Nevada delegates to the Demo
cratic national convention.
However, national committee
man William K. Woodburn said
in his introductory remarks that
it behooves members of the del
egation "to give close scrutiny
to our guest."
During his tour, Harriman
visited Wyoming, Idaho, Utah,
Washington, Montana and Ne- j
vada.
Compromise Sugar
Bill Gets Passage
Washington (U.R) Con
gress has sent to the White House
a compromise bill revising and
extending the federal sugar pro
gram through 1960.
The bill, passed Thursday by
both houses on a voice vote with
in ' 90 minutes, would continue
the present subsidies to sugar
growers in the United States,
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the
Virgin Islands. It provides for
immediate expansion of their
marketing quotas.
It also features a revised for
mula to govern participation of
foreign suppliers in the annual
growth of the American sugar
market
Under the formula, Cuba
would continue as the largest
single sugar supplier, foreign or
domestic. But Mexico, the Do
minican Republic and Peru
would have a better chance to
increase their sugar sales here
each year.

13-Year-0!d Girl
From Pittsburgh
Spelling Champion
Washington (U.R) Melody
Sachko, 13-year-old $1000 first
prize winner in the 1956 Na
tional Spelling Bee, today gave
this simple advice for future
hopefuls today: Memorize the
dictionary.
The slim, brown-eyed girl
from Pittsburgh, Pa., has been
at it for two years. For the past
year she has been concentrating
on a two-volume number that
she won in a Pennsylvania con
test. Studied Every Night
"I studied every night," Mel
ody said, "unless it was impos
sible, and that wasn't very
often."
She confessed that she didn't
learn "all the words." But she
knew enough to outlast 62 other
finalists in Thursday's nine-hour
bee. It was the largest of an
nual bees sponsored since 1925
by the Scripps-Howard News
papers and 43 other newspapers.
Melody was sponsored by the
Pittsburgh Press.
The word she won on was
"condominium." Before that she
out-spelled her last opponent
and runner-up, 13-year-old San
dra Owen from Justus, O., on
"afflatus."
Gets Second Prize
Sandra,' who came up with
"affatous," broke down and sob
bed when the bell rang her de
feat. A bystander in the crowded
auditorium patted her shoulder
and said "you still have $500,"
the second prize.
Third prize of $250 went to
Ann Malone Warren, 13-year-old
from Monticello, Ga.
The other ' winners included:
4th, Karin Carter, 12. San Fran
cisco, who spelled "anabasis" as
"anabysis."
BUSINESS HOBBY
Rochester, N. Y. (U.R)
Photography is more than just
a business word to Thomas J.
Hargrave, chairman of the East
man Kodak Company's board of
directors. He is an excellent pho
tographer in his own right. Some
of his Kodachrome shots have
appeared in the National Geo
graphic magazine.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE
Back Stairs: Remarks Anger President
By MERRIMAN SMITH
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
It wasn't apparent to most of
the guests. But it has been quite
a number of moons since Pres-
Cain Expects Axe
On Subversive Board
Denver (U.R) Former GOP
Sen. Harry P. Cain predicted
Thursday night President Eisen
hower was ready to drop him
from the Subversive Activities
Control Board because of his at
tacks on the federal security pro
gram. "My usefulness to the Presi
dent, who appointed me to my
present post some three years
ago, is, I believe, rapidly draw
ing to a close," the former Wash
ington senator said in an address
before the Colorado branch of
the Civil Liberties Union.
Cain charged that Attorney
General Herbert Brownell Jr.
and other presidential advisers
had "fed" Mr. Eisenhower "var
nish" about injustices to various
individuals under the govern
ment's employee security pro
gram. He ' also declared that top
White House aides and the Re
publican . National Committee
were playing a "numbers game"
with security risk firings. He
said some of the numbers are
"unadulterated fiction."
Racing Pigeons Enjoy
Fragrance Over Town
Cognac, France (U.R) More
than 2,000 pedigreed racing pi
geon got off to a late but heady
start ' in a race from Cognac,
France, to Brussels, Belgium.
Instead of taking the two or
three warm-up turns usual with
racers before taking course, the
pigeons circled the town of Cog
nac some 50 times.
Oldtimers had one explanation
for the pigeons' reluctance to
leave. The air here is fairly
potent' with evaporation fumes
of the town's famed product,
cognac brandy, they said, and
the pigeons simply were in no:
hurry to leave such an atmos- j
phere.
ident Eisenhower got as sore as
he did last Saturday night as a
result of remarks by Senate
Democratic Leader Lydon John
son. The occasion was the splend
iferous Gridiron Club" dinner.
Johnson's biting remarks made
the President sizzle. Some of the
comments bantered by members
of the Eisenhower team anent
Johnson's comments were some
thing less than complimentary.
The president did not object to
Johnson's right to say what he
did, but some of the White House
crowd thought that if Johnson
got so rough, the President
should reply in kind. Mr. Eisen
hower was perfectly free to do
just that. Instead, however, he
decided to turn the other cheek.
He met the Democratic leader's
thrusts with a soft answer.
The give and take between
the two men may not be reported
because the Gridiron Club spec
ifies that "reporters are never
present."
they serve their purposes a bit
better by not attempting to reply
with equal invective.
Before going to the Gridiron
party, the President had a highly
successful round on the Burn
ing Tree course last Saturday
afternoon. He shot an 84, his
best 18-hole score since his heart
attack last Sept. 24,
A man who played with him
said, "I've never seen him iri
bitter spirits."
Presidential intimates' de
scribe as so much hogwash a cur
rent report that from now until
the election, no golf pictures of
the President will be permitted.
"How," says one big Republi
can, "can the Democrats sustain
the idea of this man being in
poor health if there Is a suc
cession of pictures showing him
on the golf links?"
President Truman once used
the same soft answer technique
in dealing with a Republican
speaker at the Gridiron dinner.
The GOP spokesman " threw
everything but spikes at Mr.
T'uman and against his inclina-1
tion to talk back. Mr. Truman 1
merely smiled and said nothing.
Nothing irritates a political j
speaker more than being ignor
ed. " When targets of sharp re
marks can keep their tempers,
