TJAPPY MEMORIES: When Ed Wynn played a waiter in
A i- "Manhattan Mary" and a customer demanded Iamb
chops au gratin, Wynn shouted to the kitchen, "Cheese, it,
the chops" . . . When
Eddie Cantor told a pair
of worn-out acrobats,
who invariably closed -the
show in the old vau
deville , houses, "Boys, if
you ever expect to get
anywhere in this profes
sion, you'll have to dream
up a new finish for your
act." "New finish!" echoed
one of the acrobats in
dignantly. "Nobody's
ever waited to see . the
. oia one yet." . . . Ana
when a druggist stopped
Bobby Clark to ask, "Did
that mudpack I suggested improve your wife's appearance?"
Bobby's answer was, "It did for a couple of days, but then
it wore off."
George Burns recalled the story of the man who swallowed his
glass eye and rushed to a stomach specialist. The latter peered
down the fellow's throat and exclaimed, "I've looked into a lot
of stomachs in my day, but I must say this Is the first one that
iver looked back at me!1'
Gene Doheny reports that a police Investigation of a nudist
camp near his home bogged down completely. The local D.A.
admitted, "There wasn't a soul in the entire camp I could pin
, anything on.'

On College Bi

ing bipartisan agreement on

approved this week, probably
will have White House sup
port even though it will dif
fer from the administration's
original request for a $5.3
billion 'education bill.
The bill also is likely to re
ceive substantial Republican
support.
Sponsored by Mrs. Edith

would provide Sl.l billion in
. five years for direct grants
to public, private and church

tion of libraries, science and
