Try and Stop Mc
-By BENNETT CERF-
THE MAIN COUHSE at a dinner in Washington was Cor
nish rock hen, and the pailner of a very proper diplo
mat seemed to be having trouble with it "I'm afraid," (he
whispered, "they didn't
take all of the shotgun
pellets out of this bird."
The diplomat was
sorely troubled, for he
knew that birds like Cor
nish hens are never
brought down with shot
guns. Suddenly he rea
lized what had gone
amiss. The lady's pearl
necklace had snapped,
and the beads had fallen
into her dinner plate.
Jack Fuller tells about
the fun-loving rover who
elected ten friends at random and wired them a one-word mes
sage: "CONGRATULATIONS." Nine of them replied within a
week, thanking him, and going into detail about some recent
exploit they thought worthy of his praise.
There was a similar Jokester, of course, who drove friends Into
a tizzy by telegraphing each of them, "Please disregard my previ
ous wire."
A bride-to-be showed a friend a list of her proposed wedding
guests. "I wonder If you realize," commented the friend, "that
you've Included nothing but married couples."
"Of course," said the bride-to-be complacently. "We figured
that if we Invite only married folks, the presents will be clear
profit!"

On the Air
By ELEANOR WIESE
Newsmen covering Hie U.S
Senate have found a new way
to forecast events - by watch
ing for blue shirts.
"The fact that a Senator
shows up wearing a fairly
dark blue shirt may be
lranght with significance,
sr.ys news corespondent Rob
ert McCormick.
Blue shirts are considered
ideal for camera appearances,
acording to Mr. McCormick,
though actually shirts of any
solid color are quite alright.
The idea is to have as little
contrast as possible between
shirt and coat. A while shirt
with a black coat is the worst
combination.
But the idea became im
planted in Congressional
minds back in the early days
of television that blue was the
only color for TV shirts, so
blue it is.
Most members have blue
shirts, and they usually wear
their best blue shirts when
they intend to make a speech
they think will be especially
newsworthy, or when they
intend to propose an amend'
ment to pending legislation
they think will kick up a par
ticular fuss, or when they
think that, for a variety of
other reasons, Ihey may wind
up in front of a camera.
For example, during con
sideration of one particularly
controversial piece of legis
lation, Senate leaders were
keeping careful watch over
one member who had threat
ened to advance an amend
ment that was certain to start
a major fight and might have
delayed passage of the entire
bill.
Newsman McCormick ex
plains, "Reporters also were
anxious to get as much ad
vance notice as possible of
the Senator's intentions. One
morning during debate, he
showed up in a dark blue

shirt - which was all the
warning anybody needed."

Sunday Closing
,v in Michigan
Effective Soon
By LOIS BLACKBURN
United Press International
Lansing, Mich.-iUPIl-Michigan's self-styled "best-in-the-nation"
Sunday closing law goes into effect next month
and already some state officials have branded it "an
idministrative and enforcement nightmare."
Under terms of the law:
A gun cannot be sold on Sunday, but ammunlion
can be.
Sale of an electrical appliance is banned, but light
luilbs are exempted.
For 'Emergency Puropoies'
A wrench, hammer or screwdriver can't be sold
unless the buyer needs if for "emergency purposes . .
due to acts of Cod, war or public enemy."
Sale of a kitchen chair is outlawed, but a customer
can buy a lawn chair.
A topcoat cannot be sold, but a raincoat can.
A parent cannot buy his girl a doll, but can buy
a boy a baseball.
A downtown supermarket can't sell corn, but it
can be sold at a roadside stand If it was grown nearby.
Like most laws written to please diverse groups, this
law could end up pleasing none. The small businessman
and the tourist industry appear to benefit the most from
the law. The big discount houses and some chain stores
could suffer the most.
The law prohibits stores from selling specific items
listed in the act on "both of any successive Saturday
and Sunday." A merchant could close on Saturday and
remain open on Sunday. But few, if any, merchants
would close on their peak sales day Saturday in order
to open on Sunday.
The law says Hems prohibited from being sold on
Sunday must be removed from the sales area or suitably
covered from public view. This could play havoc with,
say a drug store, where 1,001 items are haphazardly
mingled on the shelves, some available for sale on Sun
day and some not.
Local Option Clause
An even bigger cause for headaches is the local op
lion clause. Any of Michigan's 83 counties that want to
exempt themselves from the provisions of the law may
do so with a two-thirds vote of the county board of
supervisors. At least one county has already exempted
itself from the law and many others seem certain to
follow.

when merchants in northern Michigan complained that
the law would hurt summer tourist business.
The little storekeeper gets a break at the expense
of the giant supermarket. Food for consumption away
from the premises where sold is included in the ban
but only when sold by a big volume store. A retail outlet
with less than 4,000 square feet of floor space or man
ned by not more than two proprietors and one other
person is exempted from the ban on food sales.
