British Weapons
Chief To Visit U.S.
London (U.R) British atomic
weapons chief Sir William Pen
ney will accompany Defense
Minister Duncan Sandys to
Washington this week end for
vital talks on Britain s revised
military program, it was re
ported today.
The Atomic Energy Authority
confirmed Penney hsa been
added to the high-powered dele
gation. Reports said he will
strengthen Britain's hand in bar
gaining atomic know-how for
American missiles.
Britain, faced with a financial
problem created by its ill-fated
attack on Egypt, plans a drastic
cut in military expenses by bas
ing its defense on guided mis
siles rather than conventional
fighter planes and bombers.
Sources said this will permit
heavy cuts in the standing army,
the navy and the air force.
The reappraisal ordered by
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lan may delay Britain's defense
budget this year by as much as
three months.

Is It proper to use the word
female" in reference to women?
Many women have objected to it
One leading battler against the
practice was the brilliant editor,
Sara Josepha Hale, who said,
"Female should be used for ani
mals. For humans, woman or
lady."
Passing By
Ann S o t h e r n, extremely
clever and entertaining comed
ienne. She also sings well when
given a chance. Ann, whose real
name is Hariette Lake, was born
in Valley City. N.D. I tried to
find that town on the map but
failed. I'll try again with a mag
nifying glass. Ann's television
program is one of my "musts."
It is an airwave rarity in that it
is consistently good. Of the other
few programs of which the same
can be said are "I Love Lucy,"
"Groucho" and "M-e e t The
Press." If you rate some other
programs in this class let me
know about them. I can use a
few more "musts" on. my tele
vision viewing schedule.
Numerology
Although numerology is sub
jected to much ridicule quite a
few celebrated people attribute
their success to a belief in it. As
for example, Gabrielle Chanel,
who was told by a numerologist
that her lucky number was five.
So Gabrielle gave one of her
products that number and gain
ed fame and fortune.
Horses and Women
Stockings for women were or
iginated in the reign of Elizabeth
I of England. They were silk
stockings. I can't recall exactly
when women stopped wearing
silk stockings and began featur
ing nylons. How about you? I
don't even remember whether
or not silk stockings used to have
runs.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
was known as a "freak act" in
vaudeville? A. It was a type of
act originated by Willie Ham
merstein of the Victoria Music
Hall, Manhattan. Usually people
who had figured in sensational
incidents, and, in consequence,
had received much newspaper
publicity. As for example, the so
called "Shooting Show Girls"
who were a couple of chorines
who had figured in the shooting
of a millionaire. Other vaude
ville acts in the category being
discussed were "Peaches" Brown
ing, Evelyn Nesbit, "Prince"
Mike Romarof and Aimee Sem
ple McPher.son. The first three
named didn't do so badly at the
box office but the glamourous
West Coast evangelist, who play
ed a week at the Capitol Thea
tre, New York, was a dismal flop.
The theatre lost 52,000 on the
week.
Sidelights
John Gutenberg, who over 500
years ago printed the first Bible
from moveable type, was a Cath
olic. The Gutenberg Bible, the
world's most valuable book from
a collector's standpoint, is a
Catholic Bible .... Women born
under Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
are usually good companions,
intensely affectionate when pro
perly inspired, have good style
sense but are rarely good cooks.
Or so say the stargazers.
Asides
As for unusual matrimonial
records, consider that of a Calif
ornia woman who married five
times before she was 37 and had
her first baby when she was 39
.... On restaurant orders of
bacon and eggs only two eggs
are included. Should be three
eggs. That is the custom in Ire
land, where the combination of
bacon and eggs originated.

GOP Looking To
South for Votes
Washington j(U.R) The Re
publican Party cast another hun
gry look at the South today in
its search for new strength in
the elections of 1958 and 1960.
Much talk about the need for
a GOP buildup In the South was
heard at week end meetings of
the Republican National Com
mittee. These" ended Tuesday
with the election of H. Meade
Alcorn Jr. of Connecticut to suc
ceed Leonard W. Hall as na
tional chairman.
At his first news conference,
Alcorn termed the South "a tre
mendous reservoir of Republi
can strength which we need to
tap."
One of his first tasks after
he becomes chairman Feb. 1 will
be to deal wtih the South. The
National Committee voted Tues
day to authorize the new chair
man to appoint a five-member
subcommittee to explore ways
of expanding the party organi
zation in the still largely Demo
cratic Southern states.
