Dallas, Tex, June 16-- The plane swooped down over the S25, ,000, ,OOO Centennial Grounds, cut a graceful arc above teh shimmering 250.foot lagoon that decorates the entrance, then cruised high over the 200 acres filled by the exposition.
 Already open, the park blazed in myriad mixtures of illumination. Thousands of Texans and tourists wandered along the wide lanes, in- Specting the Fair that commemo- rates Texas tooth anniversary. A thousand lights and shades played indirectly against the towering State of Texas Building, the Hall of Elec- tricity and Transportation Building. Freshly planted trees silhouetted their branches on the walls and in the foreground, six sharp beams of light tapered of into the sky. From above, 1t was Q scene of opulence, beauty and festivity.
 Getting Down to Earth
 After landing nearby, . superb dinner at "The Golden Pheasant" hailed the Southwest's finest restau- rant (the late Rudolph Valentino always went westward via Dallas to have meal there), several of us prowled the Exposition territory. An impressive spectacle from the air, 1t is a grandlose sight on even level. Not far different from Chicago's Century of Progress, Dallas Gen. tennial has omitted one conspicuous attraction that the other boasted of rickshaws, dragged around the park by college undergraduates. Instead, big greyhound tallyhos do the job.
 The sights are as assorted at Chicago's were. There are expen- sive exhibits of Texas industry and oil, Q Wild West show to take the visitors back to woolly days of San Jacinto, e Negro Life Building and Hall of Religion, subsidized by the Lone Star Gas Company. On the Midway, Warden Lawes of Sing Sing has a show about Crime, Ad- Yniral Byrd has reconstructed por- tior1s of Little America, the Black Forest leads to where the Wurz- burger Flows in a Bavarian brau- haus, Q stock company performs Shakespeare's plays nightly, T11ael- strom of pecan nuts cascades down a model of Niagara Falls, and the worlds largest steer (3,10O lbsa 1C 1t. long and horn spread of { 1-2 1t. Is on view.
 And, of course, there are "ThG Streets of Paris" where Sex reari her iiotsso-ugly head ifl peep shows that MT. Minsky could never get away with on 42nd street back home.
 Lovers Quarrel
 That Centennial competition be. tween Dallas and Fort Worth, in cidentally, is now . squRbble about Whose Best Girl Is She, Anyway Both cities claim to be the beaus oi the Sweetheart of the Texas Gen. tennial. Since Dallas has her expo sition and Fort Worth one of hel own that Billy Rose is staging, two official finances seem logical. Bul this is chivalrous county, devoted tc one lady at 2 time, so there wal bound to be some hard feeling about 1t.
 The squabble came to a head the other morning when Billy (ThC Kid) Rose came down to breakfast and smack across the front page stared into the pretty face of Dal- las darling, Janice Jarrat, with . caption designating her ais the Sweetheart of the Texas Centennial
 "A humbug," snorted Billy thu Kid, "a humbug and chicanery. Ja- nice is Q nice girl, mind you. but she is not--and you can quote me or this-the Sweetheart of the Texai Centennial. The Sweetheart of thu Texas Centennial happens to bs Miss Faye Cotton, fairest flower oi the Lone Star Commonwealth, thu loveliest lady from the Rio Grandl to the Panhandle. the most pull chri--"
 Mir. Rose, first deputy sheriff o Tarrant County, patted his pearl
 handled pistol and continued Fort Worth selected Faye from { thousand candidates of 02 Texan cities and won her Sweetheart fl open competition. Say, for all know, Dallas Janice Jarrat girl ma. 1 be somebody's second cousin"
 And there the matter of Texas Centennial Sweetheart is restinI permanently.
