Wednesday, Dec. 10th, Emmy

Comedy Drama which possesses
a multitude of intrinsic merits
in addition to the beauty, charm
and talent of the exquisite star.
The story of 1.-THE Belle of the

relieved by timely comedy and a
keen insight into the lives and
motives of people that all of us
know in real life. 1t would be a
great picture even without the
added presence of it's distingu-
ished and handsomely gowned
star.

Robins replied that he already heart

ship.
Representative Mondell. Wyommg's
one member in the house, is the can
didate they are putting forward for
the position, which in many ways car
ries a heavier burden than the speak
ership itself.
Mondell is a member of the house
steering committee and will begin his
18th term as congressman in the next
congress.
Leaders differ on whether the COM
mittee on committees, which will con-
tinue its session for the next few days
to draw up house organization, will
choose a floor leader now or wait until
Just before the new congress convenes.
Mondell believes the selection should
be made now, while Representative
Longworth Of Ohio wants it put off.
The committee today took up the job
of assigning to committees new mem
bers, hofd-over members having been
practically assigned in the last two
days.
The only unexpected action taken so
far was to increase the ways and means
committee from %. to 25 members,
which, according to Republicans, was
done at the request of Democrats who
would have been forced to drop some
members otherwise.
