Jimmy Elliott, however, Is exactly
81 and Is seen, heard, has his the
atrical judgment financed for $45, 900
at crack and engages in one of the
most lcer-developing trades in the
world-that of a Broadway producer.
of which fraternity he is the young
est extant.
He now is deep in the heart Of his
second major professional produc-
ton, with such actors as Richard
Arlen and Jed Prouty on his pay
roll.
His first Broadway show. two
years ago when he was at the ad-
vanced age of 10, was The First

His present show, scheduled to
open April 16 at the Walnut The

Broadway premiere, Is TOO Hot for
Maneuvers,' comedy set in a mill
tary academy.
All this youthfully exuberant pre-
dilection with grease paint began
when Jimmy played one of the
vicious dead-end kids in Sidney
Kingsley's fine play, Dead End"
Since then he has matured thespi-
cally in such Broadway plays as
Junior Miss" George Washington

PRACTICALLY all the big
Il shots of the department of
agriculture have been privileged
to view a most startling sight
the last few days.
The story, l realize, sounds
family unbelievable, but it's
gospel truth. 1t could only hap
pen under an efficient Washing
ton bureaucratic setup.
We had a sudden cold spell
here last week, which caught
the department of agriculture
unprepared. The heating system
refused to function, with the re-
suit that the whole vast build
ing was like the inside of a
northbound iceberg.
After two days of being frozen
to the marrow and points west,
one of the young lady Secre-
taries to a high official decided
to suffer no longer So she came
to work with knee-length woolie
underwear beneath her regular
costume.
THE only trouble was that the
Il heating system had been re-
paired in the meantime so that
the building had now become al
most uncomfortably warm. And,
as far as this young woman is
concerned, we can dispense with
the qualifying almost"
In fact she began TO perspire
freely and to itch even freelier.
The woolies began driving her
crazy.
Finally she repaired to the
powder room, remove ed the
fetching Eskimowear, and gcar-
ried it back to her office con-
cealed in her jacket.
She looked around for some
thing in which to carry it home
and decided upon one of those
large brown manila envelopes
used by all government agencies
for distributing releases, book
lets and circulars. Any one who
has ever gotten a document
from the government will know
the kind / mean.
THE young lady thrust her
Il woolies into the envelope
and sealed it. A few minutes
later her boss summoned her
into his sanct1m and she left
the envelope on the corner OF
her desk. NJ A|t y N
When she returned, IL had
vanished. She began searching
high and low. Soon she began
TO hear disquieting reports of a
strange envelope circulating the
department.
She tried TO catch up with the
thing but il was moving too
fast. II went-amid practically
hysterical hilarity-from one
high executive to the other.

President Truman is going
both right and left.
For example, how does the
President part his hair? He
parts II on the left side, which
has caused many conservatives
TO believe that he leans politi-
cally that way, and may well
result In his favoring some such
thing as naturalization of the
banks. The conservatives forget
that in parting his hair on the
left side he has TO brush il To
the extreme right. This might
we'll indicate that the President
IS thinking Of no such thing as
the naturalization of our nat
ural resources. but is actually
planning TO repeal or modify the
Wagner Act.
Men who say they are in the

holds his cards in his left hand

OF course, is an item OF tremen-

this is equally significant -

his right hand to reveal the pips.
