What was that crack about
parading around without any
clothes?"
"We-l-l-l,' we welled, I'VE had
heard rumorS"
That was last year." Beryl said.
"The Carroll girls are wearing more
clothes than ever this season. It's
new trend. Lots of clothes but
lower cut with split skirts. Why
when take a step in one dress I've
got, you can see my whole leg. They
say it's a lot more effective than
nudity"
GOEBBEL'S GIRL FRIEND
You'll be seeing Miss Beryl Wal

said, lots of drama, and that's what
I like"
She started out in pictures cou-
pie of years ago in westerns. But
got tired of them," she said. "All
I ever got to say was, oh, no, don't
take away our ranch"
Flossie Friedman is Beryls dra-
matte coach and she's practically a

You gotta give Beryl Wallace a
lot of credit. For girl who went
to work at minding babies in the
Brooklyn slums to help support her
family she's doing all right.

Running Mate Of
Pres. Roosevelt

Truman, ten years ago political
unknown, triumphantly captured
the Democratic party's nomination
for Vice-President last Friday.
The Missouri Senator thus re-
placed Henry A. Wallace as the
running mate for President
Roosevelt's unprecedented fourth
term bid. Wallace had led on the
first ballot 1921 to 3191a but, one
after another, the State delega-
tions swarmed behind Truman on
the second.
Wallace, downtown away
from this roaring stadium, -ex-
pressed no regrets, saying 'the
cause of liberalism has been al
vanced" by the convention and
that "of course" he would back
the ticket.
From Wallace's own State of
Iowa came a convention motion
to make Truman's selection unan-
imous. But it was ruled as out of
order at that time.
