Laurence's Washington friends
love to tell stories Of the
old days when" he was an
editor on a Washington news
paper. Their favorite tale
has to do with a classic head
line which practically disrupted
Washington journalism and
also practically disrupted Lau-
renee Stallings from participa-
ton therein.
Mr.. StallingS' intentions were
good. He was merely trying to
label in words Of one syllable
a certain domestic surprise in
the life of a Mexican patriot.
Jesus Maria Christina Gomez
was presented by his truly de-
voted wife-not with twins or
quadruplets!
With something much better
-SeptupletS!
Overcome by his appreciation
of such a moment in the life
of Jesus Maria Christina
Gomez, Mr.. Stallings sharp
ened his thick copy readers
pencil, seized the news dis
patch, and graphic as usual,
dashed off this headline:
"A natural by Jesus"
Wait until you meet Mrs.
June Fickel, the right hand

chairman of the Women's Divi-
sion of the Democratic National
Committee. You'll be crazy
about Mrs. Fickel. She's in
telligent and witty and has a
lot of good sense, too.
You will be intrigued by her
name and probably think up
cute phrases about "Fickel
June" and so Oh. And then you
will discover that the first part
of the name of the newest Dem
ocratic lady in Washington, is
not the name Of Mrs. Fickel,
but the name of Mrs. Fickel's
huSband-Mr. June Fickel.
Although the organization of
women is to be the most import
ant part Of Mrs. Fickel'S job,
ask her, If you have a chance,
something about her own coun-
try-way out there in Iowa. In
three sentences you will learn
more about the romance and
tragedy Of a farm in the corn
belt than in pages and pages Of
an address,
"If you have ever wanted to
be a farmer, now is the time to
try you luck" said Mrs. Fickel.

At previous trial in Judge

Judge Burnell presided, the Appellate
Court quoted him as saying:

that is why we have Supreme Courts
