loral Talent Will
Entertain March
2 Df Dimes Birthday
Hall Al Casa Marina

The Junior Chamber Of Com
nuerce announced today through
the March Of Dimes Headquarters
that the famous stage star Bal
Robinson will not be with US as
swaainaliy planned. The March oil
Nmes committee and the Jay
Gees regret very much that Rob
inson will not be- available. A fine
program uf local talent has been
lined zap for the Ball and efforts
10 obtain other professional tai
RI from out of town are still go
- ON.
The Jaycees ball committee
have formulated an ingenious
seating arrangement for the
March Of Dimes Ball at the Casa
Marina tomorrow evening where
bS almost every table will be
''ringisde" II is essential how
eyer that the reservation list be
as complete as possible for eftec-
tive results. The committee has
therefore requested that all res
arvations be telephoned IN to the
March Of Dimes Headquarters,
rhone 1893. by noon, Saturday
Provisions will be made, how
eyer. for those who, as in prevl-
Gus years, attend without advance
reservations 10 contribute their
bit Co this worthy event, and ev-
cry effort will be made to seat
them as advantageously as posi-
bile.
Stars. or no stars, the Jaycees
have arranged for full evening
Of enjoyment, a la Casa Marina
those have not yet listened and
danced 90 the music of Bob Nc
Grew and his orchestra are in for
a rare treat.
Starting at $50 p. m, the dance
will be held in the Patio and,
in event of inclement weather,
wdlI be transferred to the dining
room. So, rain or moon, the soci-
al event of the year for charity
will take place tomorrow even
ing at the Casa Marina. Telephone
1889 for reservations. Seating will
be limited to $50 persons.
The Jaycee Ball Committee for
the March of Dimes benefit dance,
being held at the Casa Marina
this Saturday, have turned the
entertainment program over to
the supervision of Mrs. Eleanor
Kern Dowski. Mrs. Dowski, a
professional European artist, has
played before audiences in New
York, London, Paris and Vienna
and has established most envi-
able reputation in the world of
professional entertainment.
Jimmy Galloway. March of
Dimes Campaign Manager, has
oeen diligently endeavoring to
obtain a well known star for the
Ball. II appears difficult to secure
such services, however, for Sa-
tprday night, and the Jaycee
Committee have reluctantly re-
Trained from a Sunday evening
affair. Ca 10 way has not
1ven up hope, and there is still
q possibility that a well known
star may yet appear on the pro-
dam.
.zSince the purpose of the Ball is
10 raise funds for the March of
Dimes, the JayceeS believe the
public would prefer having an
eniobable evening without deple-
ting such funds by hiring an ex-
pensive out-of-town show, the
calibre of which could not be
vpuched for.
In addition to the entertain
ment prizes, etc, now planned,
dancing to the eXhilirating music
OF Bob McGrew's Casa Marina
Orchestra is, in itself, worth
more than the admission of So.
Tickets are available from any
Jaycee or the March of Dimes
Headquarters, which is also TAX
inu the reservations

Izvesfia's Board Rebukes
Writer After Pravda Blast
Rv the kssocioted Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 12.-The Com
munist party newspaper Pravda
said today the editorial board Of
Izvestia, the government organ,
has rebuked its own statirical
writer G. Ryklin.
Izvestia's rebuke came after an
attack from Pravda on an Izvestia
article by Ryklin which ridiculed
a young poet from Astrakham.
The Pravda article contended
Ryklin's attack on the young poet
was unfair and the Izvestia board,
after discussing the matter, sup
ported Pravda'S view.
Ryklin is Moscow funny man.
He once proposed in Izvestia that
factory administrators producing
shoddy goods be sentenced to wear
or use personally their own pro-
ducts. He suggested the director
of a factory turning out squeaky
radio monographs be condemned
to listen to his own machine for
six months. He formerly was chief
editor of the Crocodile, Soviet
humor magazine.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY J. Glenn BeaH

BY adopting a Senate amendment
making the law applicable to all
workers coming under the Wage and
Hour Act, and retroactive as to GER
tain Longshoremen cases, the House
completed legislative action on bill
now before the President-which
will outlaw overtime on overtime.
The Supreme Court recently inter
preted a 1888 law to permit over
time on overtime, contrary to the in
tent of Congress. The new bill
amends the old law so as to make
Congressional intent crystal clear.
The House has passed and sent to
the Senate a bill to permit the Rural
Electrification Administration to
make loans to cooperative or private
telephone companies for establishing
new, or extending present, rural tele-
phone services. Before passage an
amendment was adopted to prevent
competition with established tele
pHOHe SeINICe. ne measure PlONlNSS
Federal funds may be loaned for as
long as 35 years to cooperatives or
private telephone companies to
furnish telephone service to rural
areas at a percent interest rate.
Inasmuch as the Federal Government
will pay nearly percent interest on
the money it must borrow to finance
this new activity, an amendment was
offered to increase the interest rate
charged on the Government loans
under the bill from 2 percent to 8
percent, but the amendment was de-
feated.
The House last week passed a bill
requiring plain and truthful labelling
of all furs. If approved by the Senate
and the President many fancy trade
names will be eliminated. Rabbit fur
must be marked Rabbit, and used or
revoked furs must be so desig-
nated-beginning one year from pas
sage of the bill. The time lag is de-
signed to permit orderly change-over
from present labelling.
Indignation over the reported
attempt by Defense Secretary john
son to control official testimony on
the B-36 inquiry almost resulted last
week in the Armed Services Commit
tee of the House killing legislation
for unifying and reorganizing the
National Defense Establishment. The
President, former members of the
Hoover Commission, and Congress
sional leaders finally cleared up the
situation so as to make possible the
considering of new reorganization
bill next week which would save at
least a billion dollars year in the
operation of our armed services.

An interesting bill which the House
likely will pass already has been APP
proved by the House Judiciary Com
mittee and has passed the Senate.
1t would grant permanent residence
in the United States to PCon Lin,
Chinaman who spent 1873 days adrift
on a raft after his ship was tor
pedoed in the Atlantic Ocean i'm 1912.
This is, according to information
here, the longest time a human being
ever lived on a raft with such scanty
supplies. He virtually lived by his
wits, eating raw fish and drinking
only rain-water during his long
period of vigilance.
Poon, who is 81 and widower, was
born in Human, China. He was the
sole survivor of the British freighter
Ben Lomand, which was torpedoed
enroute from Cape Town, South
Africa, to Dutch Guiana. He was
picked up by Brazilian fishing boat
off the Brazilian coast.
Government officials have praised
his help in devising equipment for
the use of survivors of torpedoed
vessels. Literally hundreds of sail
ors who had to use this equipment
during World War II can thank Poon
Linn because of its adequacy in a
time of need.
The death in a plane crash in In
dia of IA u. S. newsmen and CORES
pondents caused much grief in Con-
gress. Many of the men were we'll
known to many Legislators and their
untimely passing was a shock to their
friends in the Capitol. One Of the sur
vivors of the press group has stated
publicly that almost to a man, these
