"This TV show is a justifica tioa of 20 years of working in my community to interest people in art." he said. "For years 1'vt had to beat my way to get any body to listen.

There was speculation here that a task force, probably built around two aircraft carriers, may be dispatched to the Indian tDcean area. Defense officials made no comment except to say that any U.S. military deploy ments would not be "provoca tive." Several Events Cancelled The Strategic Air Command's activity came to public atten tion Thursday night when the biggest social event of the sea son at Westover Air Force Base, Mass., was cancelled suddenly so bomber units could carry out exercises. At the Omaha Headquarters of Gen. Curtis E. Le May. SAC commander, officers said "if trouble strikes the enemy isn't going to .hold off for a dance at an Air Force base." A Nichol's Worth of ... Comment On By HARMAN United Prejl Washington (U.R) The Library of Congress is putting on a magic show. When a- body wanders through the north gallery of the main library building these days, he comes upon a bundle of knowledge laid out in an e x h i b it en tited "The Art And Craft Of Magic." Like the ex hibit of Mal leus Malefi- Harmn Nirboii . carum, canea "The Hammer of Evil-Doers." It was a code -used by Pope In nocent VIII in 1484 to suppress witchcraft. There are. in addition a lot of fascinating things about the bus iness of sleight of hand. For instance; I didn't know until this very moment that lift ing a woman into thin air had anything to do with props. And it seems that, so long ago no man can remember, folks were running around the world pull ing the rope deal, not to men tion getting out of escape proof cells and handcuffs. Things that magicians have been doing since magic was "invented" back in the era -of Romans and Greeks. Lots of Acres The exhibit here at the biggest library in the world produces speciments of "magic, legerde main, occult sciences, and relat ed subjects." That takes in a lot of acres. Most of '. the ' material came from -two - collections. One is a gif from the John J. and Hanna M. McManus and Chesley V. Young library of some 20,000 books, manuscrpts and posts and scrapbooks. These were given to the library this year. The other is a collection of Erich Weiss. 1 11 bet you a nickel you can'.t identify Mr. W.

NoTember 16, 1936 UN To Be Asked To Hear Hungary Story Washington (U.R) Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-S.C.) said today he will ask that the United Na tions hear the story of the Hun garian rebellion as told to Sen ale investigators by two escaped freedom fighters. Johnston said he will contact Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., U. S. ambassador to the United Na tions, about the possibility of ar ranging a new hearing for the rebels. He plans to send Lodge a transcript of their testimony be fore the Senate Internal Secur ity subcommittee this week, with suggestion that the United Na tions "ought to look further" into their story. The subcommittee turned to day from the Hungarian revolt to begin a hearing on Commu nist Activitv in Hawaii. It called Lt. Gen. John W. (Iron Mike) O'Daniel Ret., former command ing general of U. S. Army forces in the Pacific, as witness. The subcommittee will hear about 40 more witnesses at a four-day session opening late this month in Honolulu. This and That W. NICHOLS Feature Writer with these sleight of hand folks myself. I remember one time I think it was in St. Louis when I had a date to talk with a gal who was supposed to be the world's champion lady sleight-of-hander. Her name was Del O'Dell. I sat on a davenport in her suite; she sat a few feet across from me on a chair. I took some notes and she talked. I bade her adieu and went down to the lobby to meet my wife. It was pay-off day and I had promised a nice dinner. "Where's your tie?" the Mrs. asked. My shirt was buttoned. But the tie was gone. I turned a little red in the face and ran back to the 10th floor. Del O'Dell was not there. Mrs. N. and I walked two blocks to the office, where I always kept a spare neck piece. Ahead of us had come a Western Union lad with my own tie, with a nice note from the lovely Miss O'Dell. Don't ask me how she did it. Very few magicians give away any of their secrets. Federal Highway Bill May Be Deaih Knell Philadelphia (U.R) The S33-billion highway bill passed by Congress in June may sound the death knell for toll high ways, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. "The new bill may well put an end to toll-road construction which has already lost a lot of steam before the act was passed," the bank said in its Business Re view. "Under the new program, toll roads in use and those al ready under construction may be integrated into the interstate system, but Congress has not yet made up its mind. "States are not likely to un dertake construction of new toll roads, however, because they can now get 90 per cent of the construction costs from the federal government."

(U.R) Negro leaders today considered calling a mass meeting to decide whether to cross the color line on city buses and risk a head on clash with the pro-segregation city commission. The commission announced late Thursday it will refuse to permit Negro and white passeng ers to mingle even though the U. S. Supreme Court has ruled segregation on buses is illegal. The commission said it will con tinue to enforce a bus color line ordinance "to insure public safety." The Rev. Martin Luther King, Negro leader who helped organ ize an 11-month boycott of Mont gomery buses, said it might be necessary to call a new mass meeting of Negroes soon to con sider the situation. Some 5,000 Negroes voted at two mass meetings Wednesday night to end their boycott and take seats wherever they please in buses as soon as the Supreme Court's decision is transmitted officially to the U. S. District Court here. King said this was expected in a few days. The city commission , said "laws are not changed here in Alabama by decision of the Su preme Court." hall.
