sident; and one in which they
were able to express direct per-
sonal preference between the two
men themselves.
They emRhatically chose Ke-
fauver, on the two kinds of votes.
But the most important question
remains unanswered; were the
New Hampshire Democrats ex-
pressing the feeling OF the rest of
the country'S Democrats in not
wanting Truman?
AT this moment there's no in
dlcation that the Democrats in
other states holding primaries will
have chance to express direct
preference between the president
and anyone else. For this reason:
Although Kefauver has entered
a number Of other primaries COM
ing UP, the Presidents name has
not been entered in a single one
where the voters could once again
show direct preference between
him and Kefauver.
The same basic question applies
TO Eisenhower and Taft; were the
New Hampshire Republicans ex-
pressing the feeling of the rest
of the country's Republicans in
choosing the general over the
senator? Eisenhower won in the
direct preference vote and took
all the delegates, too.
AT this moment the Republicans
in only one other state, New Jer-
sey, will have an opportunity to
show a direct preference between
Taft and Eisenhower because
that's the only state where 1.-The
names of both men have beeif
entered in a preferential primary.

They can examine the same event

That's why the non-experts,

to sit back calmly and take with

Started Fire
After Dream
Boy Admits

CIRCLEVILLE, O. (AP)-A To-
year-old Canton youth has admit
ted setting fire to utility garage
at the Pickaway County Child
ren's Home because l dreamed
about doing it." it was reported
by Michael Melillo, Deputy Arson
Investigator in charge of the
Youngstown district. He indenti-
fled the boy as, Robert Leroy
Bunfill, 16. He was charged with
being a delinquent boy because
he committed arson.
The early-morning blaze about
three weeks ago caused damage
estimated at $4,000. The home it
self was not damaged.
The boy was a ward at the
home at the time of the fire. He
now is at a detention home in
Stark County.
Mclillo said Bunfill told him he
av,oke from his dream, walked
down the fire escape to the utility
garage and threw gasoline on 4
furnace pipe, Melillo said the boy
related how he returned to his
bed before the blaze was discover
cd by motorists.
Officials said they planned to
have the Bureau of Juvenile Re
search examine young Bunfill.

both the sedan at Jacksonville, and
the big Buick at Columbus, had been
registered out by Auditor Fergu-
son. Likewise, switch" tags =
E al Y and b AT Q-were assigned
to the autos in lieu Of their official
state plates, S 37-504 and S 37-501.
Further questioning produced adj
ditional surprises. Foley admitted
two other late model state automo-
biles-a 1850 Buick and q 1949 Olds-
mobile - also had been registered
out to the state auditor somewhere
along the line, and each time addi-
tional sets of "undercover" license
plates were issued him.
Although newsmen were able to
pinpoint that Ferguson was making
personal use OF the two 81 autos,
which they were able to photograph
during his Florida visit, and at the
same time here at his residence,
there remained some question con-
cerning the use Of the 1850 Buick
and the Oldsmobile.
Registrar Foley couldn't say from
his records how the auditors Office
employed any of these cars - and
Ferguson aides were vague on the
point. They were vague, too, on
their boss exact whereabouts.
According to Foley, and State
Highway Director T. j. Kauer, Off
cial plates issued state-owned autos
always go with the cars even though
the "undercover" tags hang outside.
Foley also reported that such cars
can obtain gasoline within Ohio at

Blame Boson1s
For Inability
To Dress Right

ROME (AP) Italian and
French women can blame their
bosomS for their inability to dress
as elegantly as their American
sisters, says Schubcrth, a Rome
fashion designer.
THE bosoms of Italian women
are too big" he asserted. And
French women are-Well, too flat
chester to give their clothes a
proper fit
Schubcrth, a slim, fragile-look-
ing man with a passion for wear
ing exaggerated rings and gold
linked bracelets on his hands, said
the American girl is taller more
slender, has longer legs and her
buSts are perfect Sartorially
speaking"
The American girl got that way.
according TO the designer who
never uses his full name, Emilio
Federico Schuberth Won Glaghau,
Because she leads a more active
life, exercising through sport or
work
Schuberth said that the Ameri-
can girl continues to take care of
herself even after she's married
while the Italian and French girl
grows careless and allows herself
to, become a bit sloppy"
The designer, who has dressed
many daughters of European no
bility and whose outfits are sold
in several exclusive American
shops, has a theory about women's
upper contours.
THE French women are in
dplent an dtherefore, Inactive he
said Italian women, on the. other
hand, insist on eating starchy
foods and almost always nurse
their children. That isn't going to
help them keep a well-formed
bosom"
The American girl, he said, has
a Balanced diet, exercises and gen.
orally takes care of herself"
It's impossible to dress a wo-
man properly when the upper por-
ton of her body prevents the gar
ment from draping correctly" he
said.
"A top-heavy woman never
looks well dressed
What should woman do who
has been amply endowed by ma
ture
Schuberth screwed his face into
a puzzled expression, reflected a
moment and replied by lifting his
thin shoulders into the air several
times. a7Da a,

professed ignorance as to how gaso-
line would be obtained for Ohio
owned vehicles when travelling out
side the state.
However. stories circulated here
for years hold that swank state cars
with "undercover" plates have

United States, and have obtained
gasoline and oil repeatedly charged
to Ohio's expense.
These tales also contend several
Ohio vehicles some traceable to

COLUMBUS-At least two state
owned automobiles made news"
around Ohio's bustling political cap
ital recently.
1t all started when State Auditor
Joseph T. Ferguson went cT to
Jacksonville, Fla, to spend vaca-
tion with his son, James, who lives
there.
Ferguson took along his daugh-
ter, Clara, and another son, Ter
renee. Their transportation was a
smart, light green, 1851 eight-cylin-
der sedan which displayed pair
of "switch plates" - special Ohio
license tags assigned to state-owned
cars to hide the fact they are public
owned. Mainly, they were designed
for cars used by law enforcement
agencies and elected officials.
Auditor Ferguson, it developed, is
within his rights in having one state
auto registered out to him. The law
also says he is entitled to one pair
of "undercover" license plates.
However, while newsmen checked
into the matter Of Ferguson's Flor
ida transportation and found it sit
ting in his sons Jacksonville drive
way, others at Columbus came upon
a second unusual" situation.
In the garage at his local resi-
dence reposed a 1851 Buick, bearing
an additional pair of "undercover'
license tags. 1t soon was verified by
Robert E. Foley, registrar of the
Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, that

Increased Dismissal Pay Urged
For Chesapeake Ferry Workers

/. Increase dismissal pay for

system is abandoned.
2. Give ferry personnel tor
ranking for other State jobs.
3. Allow pension benefits on
length of service basis. AS the
law is now. a person must be 60
years old and have been on the
job 80 years to get a pension.
The 1851 act allows dismissal
pay equaling two to six months
regular salary - depending on
length of service. This would cost
about $165, 900.
The plan outlined by Mr.. Vogel-
man would cost 100000, but he
said it could be paid out of $780,
