The last time I saw DOYLE, and /

ropes prevented this gallant under

Finally Buddy Baer caught up
with him and had him with vi
cious right cross 10 the WiShbone.
At the moment OF impact Doyle,
with a great sigh, clasped his mid
die and dropped to the flooring,
claiming foul, foul, foul. This cry
was taken up by Judith Allen, at
that time his wife. Miss Allen, a
movie queen of sorts. then staged a
scene that would have Wrung .

The last time I saw Levinsky was
in Chicago, a few minutes before he
was scheduled to walk into the ring
with Joe Louis. His knees beat to-
gether with the speed of a drum
tattoo. his eyes bulged like those OF
a bullfrog given to peeping tom

he was scared to death. and it took

"THE CRITICAL MOMENT

During the closing days of June,
1787-just $50 years ago this week
the Convention meeting in indie
pendence Hall, Philadelphia, to write
our Federal Constitution, reached
what Alexander Hamilton described
as "the critical moment" for forming
q strong and stable government.
It was a critical period for the
Convention itself, as well as for the
nation. For during those anxious
days the historic congress hung per-
ilouSly close to the edge of diSSOlu-
ton. Differences between the large
states and the small, fears that one
group might dominate the other,
had brought delegates to disagree
ment so serious that some threat
ened Withdrawal, and Benjamin
Franklin gravely urged the neces-
Sity of prayer.
Something" warned Elbridge
Gerry, of Massachusetts,, must be
done, or we shall disappoint not
only America, but the whole world.
We must make concessions on both
Sides"
To which Franklin added-with
his gift for homely metaphor:
"When a broad table is to be
made, and the edges of planks do
not fit, the artist takes little from
both, and makes a good joint. In
like manner here both sides must
part with some of their demands,
in order that they may join in some
accommodating proposition"
Thus far. in brief, the Convention
had decided that:
The Government of the United
States ought to consist of SUI
preme legislature, judiciary and
executive.
The legislature ought to consist of
two branches.
The members of the first branch
ought to be elected by the people
of the several states. for the term
of two years: to be adequately paid
out of the public treasury, and to
be at least twenty-five years old.
The members of the second branch
ought to be chosen by state legis-
latures; to be at least thirty years
old: to hold their Office for six years
One-third to go out biennially; anc
to receive compensation for Their
services.
Each branch ought to possess the
right OF originating acts.

lation in the lower house; equal
representation for each state in the
upper.
Although several members had
made such a proposal earlier in
the proceedings. it was a resolution
offered by Oliver Ellsworth, of Con-
necticut, that brought it to the fore
during this critical week.
According to Madison'S famous
Journal of the Convention, Ellsworth
"Nusted that on this middle ground
a compromise would take place. He
did not see that it could on any
other. And if no compromise should
take place. our meeting would not
only be in vain but worse than in
vain"
Even after this appeal the pro-
pcsal had a doubtful reception. So
serious, in fact, was the opposition,
that the Convention heSitated to act
Immediately. Instead, the resolu-
ton was referred to a committee
instructed to report on July S, after
several days consideration.
This action had a double advan.
tage-it gave the passions engen-
dered in debate time to cool; and
it afforded brief recess during
which many delegates participated
in a stirring independence Day
celebration.
Next Week - independence Cele-
] brated.

this possible ?" With an expressive
sweep of her arm, she indicated
the lavish beach home, the SWIM
ming pool and tennis courts which
were part of this playground at
fashionable Malibu.
Garrett explained how Iona,
who had known nothing but pow
erty all her early life, had been
forced to work from her earliest
teens. She had one bit of good
fortune: to be employed by Nine.

full training was the backbone of
Lona'S later success.
"She has very keen intuition
and a charming way with the
ladies as well as the men," he con-
tinued, land she soon built up her
own clientele. Within a few years
she had begun designing ON her
own for some actress who later
became famous. When she swept
up, she took some Of her favorite
satellites with her. And almost
overnight Lona's styles became a
sensation. She was quick as a
flash to capitalize on the break,
and today she has one Of the most
exclusive shops in Hollywood.
She's easily worth half million"
Marcia gasped at the magnitude
of the woman'S wealth. "She
can't be more than 49," she rumi-
mated, yet she's done all that,

husbands! Whatever became of

mitted, then almost laughed aloud
to think Of idealistic Sandy giving
