Having personally met the gu!
who started the gold fish swallow
ing craze, knowing a third cousin
of the guy who thought up the
resisting fad and having been
once introduced to the wife of the
gentleman who invented miniature
golf, it was almost inevitable that
we would meet the guy who made
sWooning fashionable.
His name is George Evans and
he's SWoon singer Frank Sinatra'S
press agent. No, he doesn't wear
bobby socks or carry smelling salts
or have a dreamy look in his eyes.
He wears glasses. looks like a col
lege professor, has been a New
York press agent for II years and
is modest. Yes, modest.
We looked up press agent Evans
today because we wanted him to
confess. And he did. About a lot
of things.
But, first. of all, Evans wanted
us to get this straight. He's a
Frank Sinatra fan, too. He says he
would be a Sinatra fan even if he
wasn't collecting a nice three
figure check with Sinatra's sigma
ture on it every week. He believes
in the kid. Thinks he's great per-
sonally and great singer.

COP Begins 1914
Race with New,
Liberal Platform

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, Sept.
8 CUPD - The Republican party
launched its 1914 national campaign
today with a platform nucleus ap-
proved by three of the most promi-
nently mentioned presidential pos
sibilities.
The platform nucleus was con-
tanned in two statements of policy
on international and domestic is
sues-by a 50-member Republican
postwar policy council at the end
of two-day meeting.
The three potential candidates
Governors Thomas E. Dewey of
New York, John w. Bricker of
Ohio and Earl Warren of Cali
fornia-gave it their blessings when
they participated in the unanimous
vote of adoption.
NUCLEUS SKETCHY
All three pointed out that the
nucleus was necessarily sketchy in
view of the fact that the election
for which it was drafted is more
han year distant. But they ex-
pressed conviction that it will con-
stitute a proper springboard from
which to launch formulation of a
final platform at next summers
convention.
The foreign policy statement
pledged the party to an extensive
postwar international collabora-
ton as is compatible with American
Sovereignty.
The domestic policy statement
dedicated the party to decreased
federal regulation of private in
dustry, minimum federal control of
agriculture, fair and equitable labor
laws, jobs and greater opportunities
for war veterans upon demobiliza-
ton, and racial equality.
Unanimity of both statements was
reached only after lengthy argu-
ments behind closed doors.
SLIGHT EXPANSION
Dewey, Bricker and Warren led
a group OF al least seven governors
in forcing slight expansion of the
domestic policy statement from a
first draft in which they consider
ed the labor and veterans sections
extremely inadequate"
The fight on the international
policy statement centered on the
insistence of group led by Sen.
Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan,
subcommittee chairman, that the
statement must contain specific
safeguards against surrender of
American Sovereignty.

WASHINGTON, Sept. CUP) =
Argentina today faced the post
war prospect of having to relin-
uuish her domination of South
America to Brazil and to continue
her self-imposed isolation from
other western hemisphere nations.
That implication was contained
in a letter to Argentina's foreign
minister, Segundo Storm, in which
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
bluntly rejected Argentina's appeal
for airplanes and other munitions
on grounds that she has refused to
contribute her share to the defense
of the hemisphere, has in many
ways given aid and comfort to the
enemies of the United Nations.
SEVERE REBUKE
The correspondence between Hull
and Storm was released by the
state department last night. Hulls
reply to Storni's appeal that his
country's neutrality was misunder-
stood was the most severe rebuke
delivered to a Latin American gov
ernment in many years.
1t was in marked contrast to the
warm independence day message
sent earlier yesterday by President
Roosevelt to the president of
Brazil-Argentina's rival for South
American supremacy Brazil has
declared war on the Axis and has

1t was like this, Evans explained.
After leaving dance band singing,
Sinatra went out on his own and
got himself booked into the Para

wasn't sensational. Just average

Very softly. I asked her what was
wrong. She said she couldn't help
it, but every time she listened to
Sinatra's singing she just had to
moan and cry. I'm not crazy,
either she said"
The girl gave the press agent an
idea. Cry louder" he told her.

Broadway columnists and before

full of teen-aged kids trying to
outmoan each other. When one gal

Most rayon fabrics should be
pressed when slightly damp, but
spun rayons look best if ironed
when almost dry.
Try this some time in ginger
ale. Put one tablespoon mara
schino cherry juice and several of
the cherries in each glass. The
result will delight.
To protect yarn or small wooden
articles from moths, put them in
tightly covered glass jar or tin
can. The jar is preferable as it
enables one to see Immediately
what it contains.
When the sweetness of cream is
doubtful, stir in pinch of soda.
This will prevent curdling even in
hot coffee.
To remove hard water scale or
