IN the Jams. he was lNe one ILle
audience loved.
He had all the witty comebacks
and the funny lines and the sym
rathy. Bill, as far as the act was
concerned, was just the stooge. He
wrote it that way, he played 1t that
way, and he wanted it that way
because it made them almost per
feet.
FALLS IN LOVE
And then Bill fell in love. It
was real. Jack tried to break ii
Up at first. He told some of his
best lies and got terrific bawling
out from Bill. He took it philo
sophically. 1t was something that
might happen to him or anybody
like tuberculosis or paralysis.
He didn't blame Bill, Lucille was
a cute little number, blonde, big,
eyed, humble and thinking Bill
was the last word in men. Jack
liked her. He was Bills best man
when they got married.
Lucille got to coming to all their
broadcaSts. She would sit there
listening to Bills witty lines, wor
shipping him with her big blue
eyes, squeezing Jacks arm and
making over him. Telling him he
was wonderful. And the act was
wonderful. How did they do it?
About seven months after Bills
marriage, Jack noticed that their
material was falling off. He wasn't
getting the good lines. Bill was
Jack became the straight man,
the stooge. Bill became the lovable
ne'er-dowell. And Bill wasn't low,
able. When he tried to be cute
and careless and irresponsible, he
merely seemed to be a bore. People
either stopped listening to their
program or wrote in protesting to
the sponsors.
The sponsors took it up with
them. Jack shrugged his shoulders
But Bill was belligerent. He said
the sponsors could either take the
act as he wrote it or they could
have their contract back.
ACT IS LOUSY
The discussion brought out the
fact that Bill believed Jack was
getting all the gravy and his share
of half their salary was too much
Didn't Bill write the act besides
playing in it? Didn't he think up
all the gags? Didn't he direct it?
And he didn't think it was fair
for Jack to accept the build-ur
Bills writings gave him as a
loVable character. Suppose they
ever broke up. What would Bill
get out of it? Nothing. He would
be merely known as a Stooge. No.
body would care that he had writ,
ten all the charm that was Jacks
over the air.
Jack stared at him as he fin
ished his complaint. He said only
one word, "Lucille!" Bill admitted
it. Bill said that the little woman
had pointed out all these things
to him and he had seen that she
was right.
He had to look out for himself
So he had decided to write and
play his sketches that way. If
Jack didn't like it, they would
have to break up.
Jack didn't like it. Neither did
the sponsors. They rescinded their
contract. Jack and Bill broke up
their partnership.
1t was a shame but it wasn't as
bad as it might have been. Bill
had become known as fair radio
continuity writer and Jack signed
up for 20 weeks as a singer.
Whenever the announcers men
toned either of them they re-
minded listeners of the fact that
they had once been members of
the famous Jack and Bill" team.

While many vegetables and fruits

aneed budget. But commendation
must give way to criticism on some
Of the. things that are happening
under the fiat order for a reduction
in spending.
Take this case for example: The
National Park service, like other
agencies, laid away ten per cent Of
its operations. This irnpounding Of
money happened to coincide with
the greatest flock of visitors ever to
enter the gates of the country's ma
tional Fairgrounds. It costs money
to police and protect the parks;
it requires funds to provide for the
comfort of the throngs Of visitors to
national parks. The result, in the
case of several parks. was that they
were forced to close their gates to
visitors from a week to a month
earlier than they usually do in the
fall. Their money had run out.
Well, say you, what harm does
that do? Simply this: Visitors to
national parks, such as Yellowstone,
for example, pay much more for
entrance fees and the things they
must buy while in the parks than it
costs the government to maintain
the parks. . =, H.. ,
But that is the crux in this situa.
ton. The National Park service
does not keep the money that is paid
in by park visitors. Those funds
are turned directly. into the treasury
as general revenue. The books OF

Der of the United States Senate no
court could touch him. and hence
when the unlawful seizure was COM
pleted and the private kilograms
turned over to Senator Blacks COM
mittee, there was no legal way by
which the owners could force return
Of the messages.
Here was a case Of pure trespass Of
private messages by the Communica-
tons Commission in which the COM
mission was openly convicted by the
United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals. Yet, notwithstanding the fact
that the case was pending in the
court in an effort to enjoin the Com
munications Commission from further
seizures, Senator Black did the un-
pardonable thing in making public
the contents of certain confidential
messages he already had. He did this
under the cloak of senatorial i'm
munity. The ethics involved, how
ever, were far more questionable than
those he charged against Judge
Parker and whose confirma ton his

cause the vote was Al to 80 and a

This appointment is not merely an
