 A radio smailie tired of playing anonymous stooge to famed comic and wanted his own show. The writer he consulted advised him he wasn't big enough to carry a show, that nobody ever heard of him !. . That's his fault" mourned the ham, referring to the star, "he's not satisfied to get most of the money. He takes the best laughs and all the publicity. All get is obscurity."

 If GOering is actually in the clink- eroo it's what a lot of insiders ex- pected. Hitler had no love for Fatso. He needed him, because Goering had big drag in certain quarters .. But being a sissy, Adolf hated Goering's Tarzlh manner. He burned when Fatso Showed up for meeting, medals rattling and his uniform glittering like Lucius Beebe's Sunday overalls Also, Hitler was tickled when Dimitrov let Goering have 1t at the Reichstag fire trials Dimitrov, one of the accused, turned on Goering in court and accused him of being the ftrebug Goering's sputtering convicted him ill the minds of the reporters present.

That, of course, was some years before he decided to take his orders from the Fuehrer."
 Cong. Phelffer (N. M franks a quote to the voters: The dollar sign and the eagle" he proclams, have from the beginning of this Nation been the symbols of independence and security for the American peo- pie" If the Hon. Sir ever saw a political cartoon, he knows the dollar sign is the symbol of corrup- ton. An office-worker cartooned with his vest spattered with dollar signs is no more friend of the people than 8 spats-wearer.
