Comment On By HARMAN United Presi Washington flJ.R) Whafi new in Washington: The committee handling Ike's inauguration, headed by Sen. Styles Bridges, the Republican from New Hampshire, is having a time of it. There are 96 sen ators, 435 r e p r e s e nta tives. Each sen ator gets 12 tickets: repre 'ate ;i J' fa 3 sentatives eight. That adds up to 4,532 tickets right there. But the senators and representatives have the heat on for extra tick ets to tickle the ego of travelers from the bush. The law makers aren't getting very far. There are only 15.000 seats. Standing room only likely will gather in 100,000. A little while back the Nation al Housing center showed off a bunch of old time bathtubs some of them dating way, way back. Since then letters have been coming in . asking for a lend-lease on the tubs. I have had a lot of letters wanting to know where the tubs can be bought. They aren't for sale. When Secretary of Agricul ture Ezra Benson is in his sanc tum, his big official Cadillac is parked outside, license 126 blocking other cars.

It may be ideal for the activity in which Miss Monroe is now engaged. However, it is not a fashionable figure. Marilyn could not get a job as a model at Christian Dior's, Balenciaga's or any other high fashion house in Paris. Insofar as style is con cerned, the Monroe figure is out of proportion. The same goes for the shapes of Jayne Mansfield, Marie Wilson and Jane Russell. No woman with a bosomy type figure has ever been named on the list of the world's 10 best dressed women. Asidei Ever have an x-ray shoe fit ting? Some men of science say too many such fittings are dangerous. Better talk it over with your family physician if you plan having another one. . . The originating of devices to pre vent or cure snoring continues. Now a Detroiter is reported to have an effective anti-snoring gadget. I am going to try to have these various devices checked. This, of course, is in the in terests of those of our subscrib ers who are suffering from the loss of sleep because of mat rimonial mates who snore. Food Rush The war scare started a ter rific rush on the food shops in Paris. The Parisians really pre pared for the future. One house wife purchased S500 worth of spaghetti. That's really a lot of spaghetti. She must have had to hire a truck to get it home. In cidentally, as I reported from Paris, the French have been go ing wild over Italian food. Paris restaurants featuring an Italian cuisine are always packed with customers. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who do you say were the best 12 heavyweight boxers of those who fought under the Queensbury j rules? A. Do not feel qualified to i answer your question, i never ; saw Corbett. Sullivan. Fitzsim-j mons. Johnson or Jefferies fight. Of the heavyweights I have seen I would rate the first four as j follows: 1. Tunney. 2. Dempsey. I 3. Marciano. 4. Louis. Dempsey is generally rated above Tunney by the alleged experts. That despite the fact that Gene twice j beat Jack. It's like rating the thoroughbred Citation above Noor.

My old friend Jack Maguire of Railway Progress wants everybody to know that Christ mas. 1956 is the natal date of railroads. That would be, Dec. 25, 1830, in Charleston, S.C., where the South Caroline rail road, first common carrier oper ated by steam, hit the rails. Rep. Usher L. Burdick, the Republican from North Dakota, tells his fellow farmers: "If all the farmers are fixed this year as I am, the income tax will not give down enough money to help the U.S. revenue department of fice." The law-maker works up after that. Burdick adds: "Ordinarily income tax inves tigators can find that you owe some more. If you pay too much, you can't get it back, and if you don't pay what they ask they will put you on the inside look ing out. But this year, all this worry is out. We have no in come and the tax collector who can find any income from this area should be classed with Co lumbus, Balboa, La Salle, Champlain, A. Conan Doyle, Pinkerton, etc." There was a Hungarian break fast the other day for relief over there, of course. Ninety teachers of a dance school kick ed in part of their salary. The management watched the tab, hoping the idea would catch on around the country. By e. v. Durum, Features Syndicate, Inc.) broke even at those Paris race tracks. Am frequently asked what is my racing system. I have none. It is all a matter of self control. Any man who starts at about the age 12 and studies the art of self-control can hope to i break even regularly at the races by the time he is 40. First he must conquer greed. He must not switch from the solid horse to get a better price. Second he must avoid panic. He must not go haywire after two or three losing wagers. Third, he must battle against indecision. He must bet with confidence. Strict Law In Holland if a man is ap prehended driving an automobile without a driving license the car is taken away from him. It automatically becomes the prop erty of the government. Last year over 100 Hollanders lost their cars that way. In Ireland Liberace was a smash hit in Dublin. Especially when he play ed "When Irish Eyes Are Smil ing." An audience of 4,000 join ed in singing the ballad to the Liberace accompaniment. Speak ing of Ireland, the population there coutinues to get smaller. For example, there are less than half as many people living in the county Mayo as there were 100 years ago. Ireland has the largest emigration percentage in the world. It also has the lowest marriage rate. And the latest marriage rate. Pleas Not Note offered for sale in liquor shop window a fifth of "Thirty-Year-Old Scotch" for S32.96. Might be a bargin. Still, how can the age of Scotch whisky be ac turately determined? I mean could an expert of the subject take a glass of Scotch without knowing what bottle it came from and tell its age? I doubt it. Children With Speech D . . , . Problems Need Listeners Iowa Citv OI.R) Parents of rnilriren" with cneerh and hearing handicaps need to be good listeners rather than prompters, speech correctionists were told here. Dr. Frederic L. Darley, asso- ciale professor of speech path- ology at the University of Iowa said parents of handicapped children should watch for good points to praise instead of criti cising their failings. An attitude which accepts a youngster's best efforts will help him improve, while continually prodding him to do better can make his prob- lems worse, he said.
