was hard enough on Mr.. Bergen

By THE SPECTATOR.

It's the same daffy, wonderful
Washington, after all. An ex-Spec-
tator, returning to his nightly wan
derings after these several years of
dodging the claw of the sea puss
(Which, as a great author named J.
sThurber pointed out, gets us all in
the end). might at first be disposed
to think he was in the wrong place.
Many are the new faces and places
on the atter-dark scene. Many are
the changes that have come upon
the village during these war years
just past. But while all is changing,
all remains the same.
There was, for instance, that cock
tail party in Edgar Bergen's honor
at the Carlton yesterday afternoon,
a lavish affair just like "the good
old days." which provided uninten-
tional setting for the scene that was
proof Washington Is still Washing
ton. Of in a corner there sat a
syndicated columnist of the local
scene, bitter man brooding into his
limeade. He had just discovered,
1t turned out, that the local paper
which runs his column was paying
him So per month less for that priv
ilege than it was charging him for
Office rental.
Mr.. Bergen's appearance last
night at the Statler's Embassy
Room probably was another of those
things which could happen only In
Washington (where things seem to
happen just a little differently
even if this once-upon-a-tim YVES
not a town where E. Bergen and c.
Mccarthy played one-nisnt S6anos.
Mr.. B., it seems, let it be known that
he would be on hand last night to
help provide rousing sendoff for a
protege, Pat Patrick, who was start
ing an engagement at the Statler
So, before he could hide behind that
trunk in which Charlie Mccarthy
lives (Which, incidentally, is rather
battered affair and no home for
such a celebrity, Mr.. Bergen found
himself somehow committed to this
one-night stand. Whether he liked
it or not, which he didn't very much,
he had to jack up Charlie and trek
down here to present a full-length
show. Wasn't what he had in mind,
at all.

after dark scene:

New Trial Ordered
For Soldier I'm
Utica Mans Death

JACKSON. Miss. = (SNS) The
Mississippi Supreme Court, among
a number of decisions handed down
here Monday, included one in which
a new trial was ordered for Sandy
Magee, Negro soldier, who was
sentenced to die by the Kinds
County Circuit Court on a charge
of murder growing out of the death
of Ernest Conn, a white cafe en-
ployee of Utica, who was fatally
wounded in struggle over a gun
with which he had shot Magee
when the struggle ensued. In the
trial Magee was sentenced to del
and a brother who was also in
volved in the affair was given life
Imprisonment.
In upholding a suggestion of err
ror by attorneys for Magee, the
high court held that the Circuit
Court erred in allowing the State
to prove, over the objections of de-
PENDANTS attorneys, that ne had
previously shot another man and
paid a doctors and hospital ex-
penses for him. The high court
held that such evidence may have
influenced the jury in fixing the
death penalty as Magee's punish
ment.

Rail HEARINGS

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - The

and a conference to review the
happenings of the past year and
to prepare for action against the
Southeastern aries agreement
will be held here on May 18 and

The hearings were held for four

certified to President Roosevelt in
December of that year. He in turn
handed the problem to a small
committee headed by Judge Stacy
of North Carolina. The Stacy COM
mittee has not yet reported.
A. Philip Randolph, national
chairman of the brotherhood, will
speak, and Milton P. Webster, a
member of the FEPC, will discuss

be prolonged in order to accomplish
