A tr1ple-barreleu lead OF dyna-
mite = the Ink Spots, Peggy Lee
and Ella Fitzgerald-come march
ing into town for three solid weeks
beginning next Monday, May 8, at
the Palomar. Where else?
Bill Kenny and the three other
Spots, almost direct from Europe,
where they've been smashing sue
cesses in every important theatre,
concert hall and lavish nightspot,
will be making their first appear
ance in Seattle since they toured
through town about three years
ago with June Richmond and
Johnny Otis band in accompani-
ment. Their most recent record
breakers have been You're Break
ing My Heart and with My Eyes
Wide Open I'm Dreaming"
Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald,
who follow the Spots on successive
weeks, will complete the mightiest
threesome of big names ever to
play Seattle in one, two, three or
der. Downtown bookies r ru-
mored to be taking bets as to
which will draw the biggest house.
Peggy, who first gained fame
with Benny Goodman singing
why Don't You Do Right 2" and
Lets Do It." then tied up with
guitarist Dave Barbour to come
into her own as a single with such
thing as Golden Earrings" and
"Manana," has been appealing par
ticularly to the so-called hip
trade lately with many weirdly
wonderful things of her own crea-
ton, such as Don't Smoke in
Bed" Four of Hollywood's sharp
est musicians will accompany Miss
Lee during her Palomar week.
AS for Ella Fitzgerald, she of
course is a newcomer to show
business, but people say she's
pretty good for a newcomer. Dig?

Dixiecrotes Threaten
Whites With Story
That Negro MuY Run
For Vice Pres.

WASHINGTON tANP) -
The big story running around loose
among Dixiecrats is a secret"
document which tells followers
that they had better drop the
Democratic party or they may
find themselves voting for a Negro
as vice president.
In a letter that is not supposed
to be seen by anyone but loyal
Dixiecrats, Gessner t. McCorvey,
Mobile attorney, who is chairman
of the Alabama state Democratic
executive committee, makes these
charges. The present committee
actually represents the Dixiecrats
rather than the Democrats.
This committee, in a hot battle
with the so-called "loyalist" wing
for control of the state Democrats,
Is limiting that Cong. William L,
Dawson could be" nominated to
run with President Truman in
1852.
In his letter, marked personal
and confidential" sent to local
Dixiecrats. McCorvey wrote:
Just as certain as I am writing
this letter to you, if the Herbert
Meighan group is able to seize
control of our state executive com.
mittee, the first order of business
when the new state committee
meets in January will be to pass
a resolution requiring each ano
every candidate for presidential
elector to sign a pledge agreeing
that if he is elected he will cast
Alabama's electoral vote for who
ever is nominated by the Demo-
cratic national convention"
The Meighan group includes
Sen. Lister Hill, Sen. John Spark
man, and Gov. James Folsome,
who have a slate opposing the
Dixiecrats in the May 2 primaries.
Alabama was one of the four
southern states to desert the Dem.
ocratic party in 1948 and vote for
j. Strom Thurmond and Fielding
L. Wright for president and vice
president. The Meighan group is
seeking to return the state to the
regular party fold.
McCorvey continued in his dis
cussion of nomination:
p"This would include the nomi-
nation of Harry Truman for Presi-
dent, and. even the nomination of
Bill Dawson, the Negro congress-
man from Illinois, who is vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional committee, and also a
member of the policy committee
of the Democratic National COM

BettY's Saturday Mite

The biggest bang we had last
week were the helpful answers to
the question. The Best Dressed
Man in Seattle" SO far the sea-
men seem to have the edge; maybe
it's because they can travel and
get goods Seattle never sees Tout
side of the Third Avenue mems
shoppe). The list still is pretty
small. but we have hopes. Well,
here we go putting our little neck
out. 49,. Ike Abney (that cute
manager of the Elks Restaurant;
Joe (knees) Campbell; Jimmy
Thomas; Chris Knighten; James
Rasby, Joe Spates; Carlos Rhodri-
quez; Johnnie Rich bartender at
the Elks); Sonny Booker (bar-
tender at the Pitt.
SO far that's all the names we
have. We hope we will get the
same response we received when
we stated the way we felt about
the Easter dance. What! AgainD
It was quite cute the way the
fellows sort of limited around. Gee,
they were sort of catty (like
women). No one wants to come out
and say he thinks he's pretty sharp,
too. They all want you to find it
all out by degrees. But that's all
right. too. Mr.. William Douglas
is back on the scene after a brief
vacation. 1t certainly is nice to
see the old boy around. It's like
old times seeing Bill, with his
little camera, running around -.
Heard from Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon
Baker. They're still in Michigan
mentioning. They say there's moth
ing like a good thousand mile
change. (Or two thousand. $3.50.
Some good friends of our Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Griffith left for the
wilderness of Alaska, our other
state. They plan to stay until they
get that million everyone wants.
Wish them lots of luck. The
response Major and Bill are re-
ceiving is pretty much next to
terrific. The calls flood the poor
radio station and so do the cards
and letters. Keep them pouring in.
They will certainly retaliate by
playing the best record YOU ever
heard. It's KOL, folks. Remem-
Der. =. Saw Kay Starr at the Palo-
mar and she was real great. She
has a fine personality and a great
many admirers. They were ON hand
and one brave fellow stole the
show by being very responsive. .
But We Will Still Wait for our
dear Ella. -. If you'd like to put
your comments In the paper as so
many of our friends are doing,
we'd be glad to accommodate you.
We should make this interesting.
I'm getting so many deals about
the why's and why-fore's about
having a Negro baseball player on
the Rainiers. What can I do that a
few well placed letters and well
placed kilograms won't do. In
other words, we should get the
talent before We start crying
about what we don't have on the
Mighty Rainiers. -. This being a
pretty good town for talk, we'll
see how much talk we can start
about that.)
We mentioned the fact before

mittee for vice president, if he is
nominated by the Democratic ma
tional convention.
IF the Meighan group wins out,
we will lose all of our independ-
ence, and the electoral vote of
Alabama would be turned over
absolutely to the gang in Wash
ington we are now anxious to
defeat"

TOKYO, Japan, Oct. 18 = More
than 40 out of 100 japanese are
slaves of the superstition which
holds certain days are taboo for we'd
dings or funerals. This is one of the
conclusions drawn from a recent
poll taken by the Yomiuri Shimbun.
To the question: What is your
view on avoiding certain days for
holding weddings and funerals?'
As per cent answered that since 1t
was a superstition, the practice
should be abandoned. On the
other hand, 42.7 per cent said that
il was custom and could not be
helped" Five point three per cent
answered that the custom should
be observed because violation of 1t
would invite a curse. And the
remaining seven per cent answered
don't know.
| Japanese still seem unable to part
with their centuries-old rice diet
To the question of How do you
think we should renovate our eating
habitS?" 81 per cent stuck to rice as
staple food while 1927 advocated
eating bread or other flour foods

together with rice. Only three per
cent said that the national diet
should be switched to bread. 1t is In
teresting to note that the more edu-
cation individuals had the less at
tachment they had to rice.
Concerning clothing, 294 per
cent preferred wearing western
style apparel only, while major
ity, 6O.7 per cent, voted for donning
both indigenous and foreign clsth-
es. A mere IA per cent plugged
for nothing but kimonO while rs
per cent did not know what to
wear.
About one-half, or SIT per cent
of persons who were asked: DO you
believe we should wear formals or
occasions of weddings and funeralsP'
we're all in favor of the practice
While 1913 per cent voiced disappro-
val 9.5 per cent did not give any
definite answer.
The survey was conducted by
means of personal interviews with
4142 individuals from all walks o.
life in all types of geographical
areas of the land.

PRENATAL DIETS

Vigorous, husky, happy infants are
lucky in their choice of parents.
Heredity is not the whole story.
Their mothers had sense enough to
provide them with all the necessities
of life during pregnancy.
Adequate exercise and rest, food
of the right kind and amount, and
happy anticipation of parenthood
are usually insurance for first class
infant
Food needs emphasis. Not just the
food TO keep a mother from getting
too heavy. but appetizing, satisfying
food that will keep her in the pink
of condition and provide enough ex-
r. for all the baby's needs.
The appetizing and satisfying qua
lities need emphasis. Nothing Is
worse than feeling that you are on
a special diet or that you must do
unusual things or spend an undue
amount of time or money on the
food, or make yourself eat what
our appetite does not demand.
If a woman is as active physically
rs usual, she will eat about the
same amount for the first half OF
pregnancy. excepting that she should
gradually increase her milk intake
% a Quart and probably cut out one
dessert.
For vitamin c she needs citrus
fruit tomatoes or tomato juice. cab

favored vegetables and potatoes
both Irish and sweet. Both potatoes
are high in C during summer ano

should. eat iodized salt consistently
In addition she should be gettinS
some form of vitamin D to aid thu

condition.
During the last half most womel
are less active. so any food increas'
which the baby demands is offset b,
the mothers lessened activity. Dur
ing the last two months of pregnan

due to the developing child is abou

we received, and reservations for
conventions are made five years
ahead in many instances.
Delegates to the convention came
from far and near, representing
most of the JACL's 80 chapters and
more than 10000 members. 1t really
was a national convention in every
sense of the term, and made all de-
legates realize, If they weren't aware
of it before, what great organiza-
ton it really is and what tremendous
good work it is doing for members
and non-members alike.
The result of the Queen Contest
was naturally disappointing for Paci-
fic Northwest people, but it confir-
med our opinion that the main con-
test would be between Fuku Yoko-
yama of Washington, D. c. and
May TSutsumoto of Seattle, both of
whom had that indefinable combi-
nation of looks. personality, and
charm which would make them stand
out in any gathering of this kind
Although she lost the national title
by a very narrow margin, Seattle
can be justifiably proud of its queer
candidate, because she did a grand
job of representing the Pacific
Northwest in the National Queer
Contest.
Many key spots in the Chicago

successfully to put on a great show
