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.

can'.t identify Mr. W. He was so

around under an assumed name.
He called himself Harry Hou-

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.

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."

Negroes Consider
Color Line Risk
Montgomery, Ala. (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."
