GRASS ROOTS BEALL

Glenn Beall, on his part, is not
out to be a conquering hero-al-
though conquer he did in a surpris-
ing election sweep. Nor has he
any delusions of grandeur about
being statesman" as so many
new congressman do. He is no
chest-beater who claims he is a
better man than his defeated foe.
E. Brooke Lee, although he was by
several thousand votes.
Beall candidly admits that the
independent democratic vote put
him into office because. whatever
it may have thought Of the presi-
dental war effort, it was fed up
on Government interference with
crossroads life throughout the ma
ton That Beall is honestly con-
cerned with this grass-roots life on
his own constituency is shown in
his prediction to serve on com
mittees dealing with roads con-
struction and flood prevention.
Another indication of his con-
Germ to aid the local vote is a plan
to establish a sort of sub-congres-
siOnal office in FrOstburg. Be
cause Of the distance away from
the capital and the gasoline ration
ing, Beall feels that his cOnstitu-
ents in the extreme west are en-
titled to have an office where they
can make their voices heard with
out journeying all the way to the
capital. Smart idea, and actually
one that was nourished but never
put into effect by the late Bill By
ron.

long councilmanic Juggling against

the man who gets all of the criti-

votes. His constituency, any year
now, can expect him to make
speech or show up at a committee
hearing.
Lansdale Sasscer, who year in
and year out, probably represents
his constituency with as capable
hand as any man in Congress,
can be counted to go right on do
ing so. Pretty soon someone is
going to pull Baldwin on him and
ask him to run for governor-and
it may not be in jest.

The purpose of said investigation

Within few minutes the b'hoys

Well, we yokels didn't hear

again and a lot of rationing ac-

Twelve University Of Connecticut students spent two days in New York last week seeing how poultry and eggs are handled in the worlds greatest market.
 Under the direction of T. B Avery. assistant professor of poultry husbandry at the university, they supplemented their school work by visiting live and dressed poultry markets and slaughter houses, the Mercantile Exchange, @ dairy prod ucts company, and the New York Poultry show.

FLYNN RECEIVES
 l6,OOO LETTERS
Sympathetic Women zAd= mirers of Movie Star .
 Cluster Around Him
BY FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN (U. P. Hollywood Correspondent

Hollywood, January 13. = (UP) - Women, who have been Errol Hymns greatest fan, who have written him more than 16,00O letters of sympathy, and who cluster around him daily in court, appar- ently will have most of the say in deciding whether he is guilty of the statutory rape of two teen age girls.
 When the third day of his trial opened this morning, there were nine women and three men seated tenn pororily in the jurors box. This ratio between the sexes will remain about the same if Hymns lawyers have their way-when the jury is confirmed, probably late to- day.
 Apparently the only females in Judge Leslie E. Stills courtroom who did not look upon the wavy- hairOd Flynn with bland eye were his occusers, 16-year-old Peggy Sat- terlsM and 17-year-old Betty Han- sen.
 They sat behind him with their police woman escorts and stared at the Sack of his neck, while he scribbleo notes about the jurors in a handsome red leather diary. He said his insurs;<e agent sent 1t to him as an appropriate gift.
 Hymns lawyers, headed by Jerry GieSler, hinted mysteriously about witnesses who would have much to tell concerning Miss Satterlee's yachting jaunt to Catalina Island with Flynn last year while she was only IS. The lawyers wouldn't name their witnesses but promised they'd startle the jury when the time came. Miss Satterlee charges that Flynn attacked her twice dur ing the voyage; he claims he had a bad cold, a rll11ny nose, and no m- terest in her except as partner for photographs taken by Peter Stack pole, cameraman for Life and Time magazines.
 Miss Hansen, the Nebraska school girl who came to Hollywood to be q movie star - and wound up as a waitress = accused Flynn of hold ing her in his lap after dinner in & Bel Air mansion, giving her a drink which seemed to have alcohol in 1t, and taking her upstairs.
 The fatherly. looking bailiff re- fused aximittance to any feminine spectator who could not prove by her driving license that she was at least 2l years old.
