I think I'll cry." J-m- nit l-iimintrf mii ijjnaMiiiii.il Political note from Wash ington: The only woman U.S. sena tor believes Republican vice presidential hopefuls should file in the Oregon, Ohio and New Hampshire primaries. Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine), who herself is considered A POSSIBLE CHOICE FOR THE NO. 2 SPOT ON THE GOP TICKET, did not indicate whether she would do so. But she said potential candidates should test their strength with the voters. H MMMMMM. PLANS TRIP Former Argentine Dictator Juan D. Peron relaxes in Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic over the week end as he tells newsmen that he plans making a trip to Europe. A Peron aid disclosed that Peron plans to leave for Europe today. The spokesman said. Peron, who has been in exile five years, "possibly will go to Lisbon or the Spanish cities of Sevilla or Malaga after a brief stopover in San Juan, Puerto Rico." (UPI Telephoto) In our history, the possi bility that the vice president may become President has al ways been strong. Washing ton was our first President. John Adams was his vice pres ident. John Adams became our second President. His vice President was Thomas Jeffer son. In the Presidential elec tion of 1800, Aaron Burr tied Jefferson. When the house of representatives, acting under the constitution, chose Jeffer son, Burr became the third vice president of the United States. But for the duel (in July, 1804) in which he killed Alex ander Hamilton, plus charges of treason arising out of a conspiracy to seize Mexico for the U.S. or to have the West ern states secede from the Union, Burr would probably have succeeded to the Presi dency, as had his predeces sors. He was cleared of the charge of treason, but the scandals arising out of his duel and his alleged conspiracy ruled him out as Presidential timber'. Thus the precedent of succession from the vice presidency to the Presidency was broken. a President dies in office, the ! vice president succeeds him. AND- In recent years- The idea seems to be grow ing that the vice presidency is a sort of APPRENTICE SHIP for the Presidency. In any event, we seem to be abandoning the idea, current m the mid-years of our career as a nation, that JUST ANY BODY who is non-entity enough not to have made too many enemies, and politician enough to be a good vote-get ter, is an ideal candidate for vice president and RETURN ING to the idea, current in the years of our infancy as a nation, that the vice presi dency is a natural stepping stone to the Presidency. That brings us back to the suggestion of Margaret Chase Smith as a possible choice for the No. 2 spot on the GOP ticket. Mo rse and Bu tie r to State Democratic Co IiHE possibility that the vice president of the United States will become the Presi dent of the United States is strong. There is death to be considered. Three Presidents of the United States have been assassinated President Lin coln in 1865, President Gar field in 1881 and President McKinley in 1901. The strains of the Presi dency are great. Subjected to these strains, men DIE. When WOMAN President? It sounds radical, because it has never been done. ANY THING mentioned ' for the first time is apt to sound radical to a lot of us. are apt to be good BUDGET BALANCERS. They tend to abhor the idea of running recklessly into debt without any provision for pay ing off the debt. So- Maybe it's time for a wo man President. c America's Fastest Selling Combination J 1( Am NEW 1960 PHDLCO BENDIX DUOMATIC WASHER-DRYER COMBINATION fHltCO Cl-700 As Low As $2.73 a Wk. 4 Models To Choose From Tangle free tumble action washes all dirt and lint away ... low heat drying and automatic de-wrinkling deliver clothes so wrinkle-free many need bo ironing.

Home Destroyed by Puna Eruption Koae, Hawaii (UPD The Puna eruption on Hawaii de stroyed one home Tuesday, threatened two others and cracked open the earth near Warm Springs Junction. The home of Harry Kenoi was burned in a brush fire touched off by falling hot cin ders. It was the eighth home destroyed since the eruption began two weeks ago today. Meanwhile, the lava flow advanced slowly on aban doned houses owned by Wil liam Eldergs and Rose Swain. At the main eruption front at Kapoho, a slow but force ful flow of lava exerted new pressure on dikes built to di vert the flow. Massive chunks of lava crept to the top of the barrier below Kapoho, but moved slowly enough to cool before they could spill over. PARTIAL JUSTICE Coventry, England - (UPD - Mrs. June Smith, a 25-year-old strip teaser fined $2.80 for indecent exposure," told the court no charges were brought when she performed for a policemen's private par ty and asked why was "it not good enough for the working lads of Lancashire?" Porter Asks That $19 Million Be Added for Forests Washington - Congressman Charles O. Porter has urged the House Committee on Ap propriations to add $19,000, 000 to the forest service budg et to keep its forest improve ment program on schedule. Porter said in his prepared testimony Monday that the sum was necessary to keep the program for the national forests going. He told the committee, which is considering the budg et for the forest service and the bureau of land manage ment, "I cannot over-emphasize my concern that our for ests must be in a position to make the maximum contribu tion if we are to compete suc cessfully with the rapidly ex panding Russian economy." Porter pointed out that the forest service budget submit ted by the President was well below the amount the Depart ment of Agriculture had said in 1959 it would need to meet the requirements of the fu ture. Handsome Dividends The Oregon congressman said that national forests in his state were bringing hand some dividends to the U.S. treasury for every penny allo cated to them. He also urged specifically: 1. The approval of the addi tional $805,000 item for Northwest timber sales in the forest service budget. 2. The approval of the BLM budget as submitted. Porter noted that substantial capital investments in roads and re forestation on O and C lands are financed by the counties from monies that would nor mally be paid to them. He commended the sound fiscal relationship existing between local and federal authorities. Porter suggested to the committee that it: 1. Make sure timber access roads are of uniform high quality whether they are con structed by timber purchasers or with appropriated funds. 2. Coordinate timber sales activities of the forest service and the bureau of land man agement. He suggested that considerable savings might be achieved if sales were made on a lump-sum basis rather than on log scale and urged that a study be made.

In the final scene, the one that cost more than all the rest of the picture, an elaborate man sion was to be burned to : the ground. The blaze wasn't spectacular enough, however, to satisfy the producer until a quick-witted technician bethought himself of thousands of feet of old film. He tossed them into the fire which shot up in "spectacular fashion and everybody was h a p p y until the producer discovered the burned footage was the entire negative of the rest of the picture. ... Smitten with love, a brave toreador vowed, "Senorita, tonight I will stand beneath your balcony and serenade you for hours." "And I," responded the senorita, "will drop you a flower." "In a moment of love? queried the thrilled toreador. "Not at all," countered the heartless senorita. "In a pot." C I960, by Bennett Cerf.
