The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-13

Washington, March 13-Presi- dent Roosevelt has a surprise up his sleeve for "The Man" Bilbo.
 The little, red necktie-wearing Mississippian will officially be let in on the secret after the hOtly- disputed work relief bill is safely out of the way.
 Reason for this precaution is the practical certainty that Bill bo is not going to be pleased with the surprise. And no one around the. White House is anX- ious to garner 0 vote against the administration.
 The surprise package await ing Bilbo Is the news that the president has decided to name lame-duck Senator Hubert ID. Stephens to one of the two long, pending vacancies on the REC board.
 Bilbo defeated Stephens a st year after a bitter fight.
 One of the high-lights of the contest was Bilbo's promise to his fellow Mississippians that if elected he would run every Stephens appointee out of Washington" ,
 Now to have his foe himself appointed to one of the choicest jobs in the New Deal is going to be gall and wormwoOd to Bilbo. HOPKINS RELIEF
 Among persons urgently in need of relief these days are Harry Hopkins and his staff. ~
 The federal emergency relief administration is tired of mark ing time. For weeks its person. mel has been trying to spread three hours work over whole day, much as their leases" try to make one square meal do for a day.
 They have spent their spare time reading newspapers, writ ing poetry, or talking about the McCarran amendment, wonder ing when the senate, finally would pass the $4,800.00O,00O work-relief bill so they can get busy.

his Gayety Theater this week. Holly

tanning bill as has been seen there
this season, we'll rounded in all its
parts, and provided with all the
requisites of good burlesque.
Heading the comedy portion of the
bill is the redhead, Charles Marshall,
who, with Murray Leonard, provides
a fast line of chatter and an act that
is roundly applauded every time. 1.
B. Hamp and Herbie Harris also do
their part.
The Mac Sisters head the feminine
side of the show with pair of mod
ernistic dance routines that are
smoothly executed in every detail.
They are aided and abetted by cho-
rus possessing an abundant share of
good looks that numbers them among
the leading attractions as a group in
themselves.
Another unusual feature of this cho-
rus is the fact that the members can
actually sing. Gertie Beck leads them
in a medley, a la Fred Waring. Muir
ray Leonard and Jack Kellar also do
bit of singing.
The trio of tantalizers runs all the
way in type from the Dolores Dawn,
a dusky Spanish beauty. to a
typical product Of America, the
platinum blond, Madge Carmyle. Be-
tween those two is red-head, Peggy
Hill, who also knows the tricks of

TODNNS SPORTAPARAD,E.. ]. kAA4%nal@
BY STUART CAMERON (United Press Sports Edltorl


 New York, Jan. 22-(CP)-Bill Sturm of Indianapolis, who is the American representative for Sir Malcolm Campbell, was stricken suddenly with an authorative bug yesterday and wrote the article which appears below with the idea that our Henry McLemore might use 1t as a Sport Parade. William did not know that Hank is vaca- tinoning and wrote the piece so it would appear as though Henry, not William wrote 1t. Here 'tis:
 Bill Civilian F., to you) who says I castigated him severely in my column a week or so ago, be- cause he refused to answer qyes- tions about Sir Malcolm Campbell. British speed king, now says he is willing to scar an oath, without re- lief from value and appraisement laws that Sir Malcolm and his party of six mechanics, Lady Campbell, Major Goldie- Gardiner and Robin Grosvenor, will sail Wednesday for these Unitetd States on the Aquitania and will arrivve about six days later by the Grace VI 0Ou anu "ltAOuL CuSCs
 Further, MT. Sturm deposes be cleared through the customs at New York and entire party will entrain for Daytona Beach, Fla. the scene of Sir Malcolm's previ- ous world record runs.
 SturIn Knows
 After whetting the Blue Bird up c., A- Hfnt. man, weight 143, will attempt to better his record of 272.108 miles an hour, made on the day Amer ica celebrates as Washington's birthday, in 1898. MT. Sturm re- minds me that he is not such a ninny as I have tried to make him out to be. as he guessed Campbelrs speed in 1888 within one-tenth of mile, the day be- fore the run was made.
 MT. Sturm said that had he not been tired that day he might have come closer than the 272 he bought in a pool.
 When asked for a statement as to his guess on Sir Malcolm's pos sible speed this year, MT. Sturm became suddenly silent.
 MT. Sturm opines that the rec ord run will be made as near Feb. 8 as possible. as that is the period when even the moon is fullest in Florida and it seems that when the moon is full the tide gets kittenish and comes up on the sands further and thus tends to make a better beach. That is, 1t does, if the wind Is out of the proper direction and blows hard enough to smooth the sand suf- ficiently.
 Right Answer
 And that reminds me that one time a manager other than MT. Sturm, asked the natives whep he first arrived how they smoothed the beach-i. e., with what tools! Some wit told him the hand of Providence.
 MT. sturm further deposes that the Blue Bird behemoth Is 28 feet and 8 inches long, and that its body comes out flush with the wheel lines. And, oh yes, the wheels on the rear are dual, that Is there are two of them on each side of the rear end. and they are set side by side. like a truck wheel, though they will return around much faster.
