D0NAHEY SLATED
TO HEAD INQUIRY
Senate's Champion Listener
May Direct Probe Into
the T. V. A.

BY the Associa ted Press.
The champion listener in the Senate
Senator Vic Donahey, Democrat, Of
Ohio-probably will direct the con-
greSSional investigation into the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
Senators said today that Vice Presi-
dent Garner unofficially had desig-
mated Senator Donahey when he
placed the former Ohio Governor at
the top of five Senate members of the
committee. Five House members also
will serve, but custom gives Senator
the Craftsmanship.
The tall Ohioan, who keeps his hair
clipped short usually wears tWeeds,
and cheWs gum, has been in the Sem
ate nearly five years without making a
speech.
Il may want to talk some time" he
said, smiling. 1T might even be about
T. v. A. You can learn a lot about
other Senators by just listening"
Willing to Serve.
Other Senators said Mr.. Donahey
was not seeking the craftsmanship, but
was willing to serve.
Il will play big horn or a little
! horn" he said. 1t does not matter,
just so we buckle down and get the
job done
Il call myself Progressive-with
the brakes on" he continued. If I
disagree with my President, I don't
go conSort with the enemy or abuse
| him. There can be an honest differ
ence between men over policies"
| The Ohioan said the T. " A. in
quiry would climax 40 years of public
service.
My Senate term ends next year,
and then I'm through" he declared.
Il would not even accept the presi-
dency. I'm absolutely a free man.
Nobody owns hair on my head.
When I'm through here, I'm going
to have little fun"
Well Fitted for Job.
Much of Mr.. Donaheys public serv-
ice will aid him in the T. v. A. in
quiry. He was Ohio State auditor for
five years in charge of inspecting the
accounts of $4,000 public officials"
His first public office was town clerk
of New Philadelphia, Ohio. He was
county auditor at 81.
Il was SO young it almost beat me"
he chuckled. Il had to grow a beard
"a Van Dyke-to show maturity"
MI Donahey was printer by pro-
fession and still holds a union card.
He dislikes the limelight and enjoys
getting away from a crowd Ito
Whittle and think"
Il composed some of my best mes
sages as Governor while whiting"
he said.

MagicianS Use
POzver to Reason
BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.

by THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.
[ NE OF the most important facul-
ties which a magician must Dos
sess. I believe, is the power to rea-
son.
When Harry Houdini was CARRYING
on his revealing Investigations regard
ing fake spiritualistic mediums a few
years before his death, it was his
habit to haunt the homes of these
mediums until he had seen their
seances so many times that he knew
every move by heart When he was pre-
senting his show, he engaged agents
to 60 to the seances and find out
all that could be learned about their
methods, so that when he arrived in
that particular town he could expose
Mr.. or Mrs. Medium Immediately.
1t was absolutely necessary that Mr.,
Houdini and his agents be we'll armed
with the power to reason. for only
then could they understand and fathom
the mysteries that the mediums
claimed could only be explained by
spiritualism.
This week I am going to describe
an effect that really tries your rea-
soning powers. and while 1t is not a
magic trick. believe that you will
have just rs much pleasure with 1t.
I must admit that 1t took me some
time to figure 1t out.
Enect-The performer places four
cards upon the table, face down. He
explains that on the table as he has
arranged them, there are two kings
and two queens. There is q queen
to the right Of a king; there is a
queen to the left of a queen, and
there is also q king to the right Of
q queen.
Now he asks his audience merely
to tell him the position Of the kings
and queens. Which is which?
Explanation-1f you think that it
is easy to decide correctly, suppose
you try this feat before I give you
the solution.
For those of you who can't quite
get the cards placed correctly, place
them as follows:
Card number is king, number
2 is a queen. number 3 Is q queen
and number 4 is king.

be at least 8 inches long. The paddles
will be improved in appearance and
will last longer if they are sand
papered and then vanished.
NOW you're ready to play. The rules
are very simple. The server
stands anywhere back Of the rear line
Of his court, tosses the ball into the
air, and bats it over the net. The
receiver must return the ball to the
other court before it touches the
ground. Then the ball Is batted back
and forth until 1t goes out Of bounds:
that Is, goes outside Of the court.
strikes the net or else falls into the
court Of either player
If the ball falls into the receivers
court, 1t scores one point for the server.
and he keeps on serving. II it falls
into the servers court, the serve goes
to the receiver. but neither scores.
If the ball hits the top Of the net
and drops in either court, 1t counts
nothing, and the server gets another
chance.
Remember, the object Of the game Is
to keep the ball from touching the
ground. As soon as it does. it means
the point is lost for the side in whose
court the ball fell.
When the server sends the ball out
Of bounds in either court, he loses
the serve. If the receiver sends the
ball out Of bounds. 1t counts one point
for. the server. The first person to
score Is points wins. When the score
is IA to IA, either side must win two
straight points to win the game.
Ready? Serve that sponge!

3. Why is the map Of Turkey like
frying pan?
4. What has 1s legs and catches
flies?
S. If 80 degrees Is freezing point,
what is squeezing point?

substance which keep the moisture in.
A candy bucket can be used, but 1t
won't keep things fresh as long.
To convert the mincemeat bucket
into a good-looking bread box, wash
the inside carefully. Then scrub the
outside and enamel it to match the
color scheme in the kitchen, or in any
other bright color which gives a note
of contrast.
You will probably have to use two
coats to cover it thoroughly. If you're
mixing color, be sure to mix enough
at one time to do the whole Job. as
it's almost impossible to get exactly
the same shade the second time.
Don't forget the wooden pieces on the
handle and the cover while you're
painting.
When the enamel is dry. paint the
metal bands and the wire handle
different color and let them dry. Then
add q design in the center of the
cover, repeat 1t on the front of the
bucket, and you've handsome and
practical bread box that will last for
years.
If you use candy bucket, do the
outside just as you did the mincemeat
bucket, but you'll have to give the
inside coat of spar varnish to protect
both the bucket and the bread.

GHE . DranO-neW game Cn4C
- combines all the skill, exercise
and speed Of tennis, yet is

space At little or no expense.
It's called spongeball, and as the
sponge floats over the net, it has An
action all Of its own that makes it
dificult to get an ACE" or "kill."
The playing space is any level spot
20 by 40 feet. Apart from being
level, the court needs no special quail
fications. Grass, clay or cement serves
equally well.
A rope or net should be stretched
across the center at height OF 3
feet, to divide the space into two
courts, both 20 by 20 feet. A net Is
better than a rope. because it is rather
hard to tell whether the ball has
gone over or under a rope A good
substitute for a net can easily be
made by tying cords about 10 inches
long onto a rope, spacing the cords
about inches apart.
The ball can easily be made from
two or three ordinary small sponges.
II you cannot find any old or discarded
sponges around the house. they can
be purchased at any l0-cent store
Glue or sew the sponges together, and
then trim them with scissors. The
ball can be any size. but about inches
in diameter is the best size.

Which is no idle boast we dis
covered after talking to this remark
able young lady OF Northeast Wash
!ngton who will celebrate her 18th
birthday on Tuesday.
Joyce sings well and is known to
many radio fans as the Sweetheart
Of the Air"
She plays games, skates and even
dances, having been a scholarship
student in the Saturday morning
children's classes at Marjorie Webster
for the past two years.
She goes fishing and her parents
report that a sort OF second sight
enables her to announce when she's
caught a toad fish even before she
pulls IN her line.
Her most recent hobby is learning
TO play the piano. And she's talented,
too, according to her teacher, Mr..
French Hufty. who is blind himself
and who is teaching his blind pupil
to read music from q Braille chart.
PUT for the dark glasses she wears
and the slight hesita ton she
shows in walking about land that is
scarcely noticeable) visitor to
Joyce's home would not think of her
blindness.
She. herself, answers the door to
callers and invites them into the
living room. And If the visitors are
newspaper photographers. Joyce, like
any other girl. pats her hair into
place so that she will look her best.
She didn't even know that other
children could see better than she
could until she was about years
DID," her mother, who has been the
eyes for her daughter since Joyce
became blind as an infant. declared.
You see. wanted her to feel that
she was just like other people when
she WAS very little and I told her that
people learned to see as they grew
Older" Mrs. Romero explained. II
suppose l should not have told her
that, but she learned to do for herself
almost all the things other children
her age could do"
Joyce was upset, of course, when
she learned that she was different" i"
but soon afterwards she joined 4
school for the blind and, upon as
sociation with other children who
couldn't see, soon regained her happy
outlook on life.

Girl Refuses to Believe
Blindness Is Handicap
Joyce Romero Says That She Can Do
Almost Everything and Proves 1t, Too.

SINCE then her one thought has
been to be like others and to =
remarkable degree she has overcome
her handicap.
When she sings over the radio, no
mention Is made OF the fact that
she Is blind and many of the mes
sages and gifts she has received are
tributes to the sweetheart Of the
Air" rather than to the little girl who
cannot see.
And as a student Of st. Joseph's
School, her classmates are pupils who
do not share her handicap. Yet when
she graduated into the sixth grade
recently her report card showed only
AS and BIS.
Originally from New Orleans where
she is now visiting. Joyce made her
f1rst real friends in Washington at
the Columbia Polytechnic Institute
for the Blind, where she learned to
read Braille. When the institute de-
cided to put her on q radio program
about four years ago her whole future
seemed to be changed.
The success Of her radio appearance
brought many requests for similar
programs. She often took part on
the Joe Browns program broadcast
from w. o. L. and recently appeared
on the N. B. c. Children's Frolic.
IN ADDITION she has assisted on
entertainments given by the Mar
Jorie Webster junior department and
mas sung and given readings before
Masonic meetings, Police Club bene-
f1ts, Girl Scout programs, school pro-
grams and others.
She once went as far as Richmond.
Va, to entertain and was rewarded
by gift from the Mayor.
Joyce has many friends, but none
have added more to her happiness
than = young school mate, Barbara
Beck, who for two years has called at
her house in the mornings to take
Joyce to school.
Barbara has to walk "a blocks to
do it and she never misses" Joyce
said gratefully. And we get along
perfectly grand. We're real friends. u
At home Joyce dresses herself and
sometimes helps with the dishes.
And as long as she is able to 70
on hikes with Girl Scout groups, sing
dance. play, work and help mother
she feels that her life Is as full as
anyone could wish.
You see. don't really mind being
blind she says. Il can do every
] thing In the world want to-
