Her bedroom one evening, and was told, "Mommy and daddy ore entertaining some very important people downstairs." "You're quite right," agreed Mrs, "but how did you know?"

WHITE UPS AND DOWNS Washinglon-Vice President Richard Nixon is settling back with wry calm to last out ""1 what he knows is likely to be a series of dips in the '4 graph of his p r esidential ambitions. He is like a good poker player who finAc 4U 1- U'1111-.m. G illlMO IIIC talus white ' suddenly stacked against him. He fig ures his luck is bound to turn and so he is by no means des perate. And he knows that you can't ever win a pot un less you keep staying in. But he also knows that when your luck is momentarily out you play your hands with great care. This is definitely not the kind of night on which you try to fill inside straights. The vice president does not for a moment delude himself. He is fully aware that he has had some poor-to-bad breaks lately and that there probab ly will be more befirp the turn comes. IRONICALLY, he is to some extent the victim of his own earlier good fortune. The fact that he is-officially at least unopposed for the GOP presi dential nomination is a mixed blessing. It would be danger ous to act as though it already were in the bag. So he must walk softly. He is having to keep all openly "political" activity to the absolute minimum. This means that the national spot light, for now and for some week ahead, is nowhere near his vicinity. It has been play ing hotly on the man the Nix on people now believe will be his Democratic antagonist for the presidency, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. It may well stay beamed in that direction for a while to come. For example, the latest Gal lup poll presents Kennedy as leading Nixon In the nation by 53 per cent to 47 per cent a reflection, the vice president thinks, of Kennedy's rarely rivaled blaze of national pub licity. Again, Nixon's status as the more-or-less designated suc cessor to President Eisen hower puis other restraints on the vice president. Mr. Eisen hower is going to be out of the country a good while in his summit diplomacy. This means Nixon must stay here to mind the store. And while he will be doing important things in this period they will not be of the big-headline variety. TUNALLY. President Eisen " hower has much diluted his earlier seeming all out en Hnrompnt nf Nixon. The Pres ident's auhspauent comment that he would not have given unh an endorsement in the first place if the vice president had not been the only Repub lican candidate in sight has not been helpful -to ivixon. nhvinnslv and unarguable it has given some encourage ment to tnose nepuDiicans who still hope to oring 011 a .a.iianiiai "rimft" for Gov ernor Nelson Rockefeller of New York. (This one estimate is strictly this correspondent's; it should not be attributed to Vivnn 1 Actually, the Nixon peo Is not so much that the current polls will be hurtful in the election itself. Before this the vice president has gone down in the polls only to - climb high again. What really bothers them is that every time the smallest Nixon weakness is indicated before the GOP convention the Rockefeller partisans will seize on it to renew the chant Nixon can't win." rpHE vice president, in a a- word, is not so much afraid of the Democrats in the elec tion. He is more concerned about what may be done by other Republicans to exploit against him anything unfavor able that may happen from now to convention time. There is nothing remotely approaching panic here. Nixon is a cool and steady-handed gambler politically. He is, rightly or wrongly, perfectly confident that he will come through in the end. But in the meantime, he has his prob lems, not with his own morale but with that of his workers. They clamor to him: "You must get out and get busy." He replies in effect: "It's just the way the ball bounces now. Take it easy. I'll be 'out there'-and plenty 'busy'- when the tune comes. (Copyright, 1960. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) VACCINATION DAY Washington -UPD- President Eisenhower called on Ameri cans Monday to make April 12 a new kind of V-day-vaccin- ation day," for vaccine shots against polio. April 12 is the date on which a celebrated polio victim-President Frank lin D. Roosevelt-died in 1945. It also marks the fifth anni versary of the announcement of an effective polio vaccine. OLDEST POLICEMAN DIES New York -IITD- Retired In spector Robert Emmett Doo- ley, 100, believed the oldest former policeman in the city, died Sunday. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: The success of the Tiros satellite in sending back pic tures from outer space is greater than expected. The spectacular photographs re ceived from it make it clear the U.S. could use the satel lite TO SPOT RUSSIAN MIL ITARY MOVES as well as to detect weather disturbances. INTERESTING? QUITE so-but here's the other side of the coin: If we can use a satellite to spy on Russian military moves, the Russians can use a similar satellite to spy on OUR military moves. That leaves it horse and horse. e fTTVi 7V' Great VV straight... superb in .mixed drinks! . IV CORONET VSQ ft rv 1 BRANDY DIST CORP, 3SO FIFTH AVE, H.f. CALIF GRAPE BRANDY, 84 PROOF August W.

Let's be serious for a mo ment. The last best hope of earth is that in this nuclear age war will become so com plex and so menacing that mankind will have the com mon horse sense to call it off, BACK to our newest satel lite, which we call Tiros. Whence the name? It's more alphabet stuff. The name is made up of the initial letters of the words Television Infra-Red Observa tion Satellite-T-I-R-O-S. Cute, isn't it? WHENCE the infra-red? It comes from infra-red rays, which are given off by hot bodies. These infra-red rays are not hot in them selves, but they produce heat when they strike matter. That is too say: When the Russkies blast off a missile, its flaming exhaust will send out infra-red rays which will be intercepted by our Tiros spying around out there in space and the news will be flashed to us that the commies are up to something -presumably something that bodes us no good. Vice-versa when WE blast off a missile. SHUCKS! This is getting too tech nical. Let's get back to something more familiar. IN WASHINGTON, Oregon's Senator Morse blasts off again. The object of his blast is a proposal to give, rent-free, to the Congressional Wives club a 99-year lease on a four-acre parcel of government land on swank Embassy Row, one of the swankest neighborhoods of swank Washington. The tract is estimated to be worth Democrats Liked In Latin America Caracas. Venezuela - C?D -Adlai Stevenson, winding up a two-month tour south of the border, said Monday night he wished Latin Americans could vote in the coming U. S. pres idential election. "I personally have liked the people I've met on this trip and I think they've liked me, but what's more important is that they all like the Demo cratic Party," the twice-defeated Democrat said. "I wish they'd come up and vote in November." Odessa, Tex. - (UPB - Dr. Murry H. Fly, 73, president of Odessa College since 1948, died at his home Monday. at least a half million dol lars. The club proposes to use the land, which is owned by the National Park Service, as the site of a swank new $350, 000 clubhouse. Senator Morse calls it a "shakedown of the taxpay ers," and contends that if the congressional wives want to use it they should pay rent on it for the full 99-year pe riod of the lease and the rent should be based on the value of the land. SENATOR Morse is often wrong. This time, he's RIGHT. Let's pat him on the back.
