LONG BEACH.

mrs. J. r. c.. Washington
Mrs. H. A. D., Bethesda:
Forget those ideas about leav-
ing Washington to move to
Long Beach. I'm in no way
connected with the California
Chamber of Commerce and
have lived the best part of my
life in D. c., however, 1 did
have the occasion to be resi-
dent Of that wonderful State
only necessity brought me pack.
You will have no trouble at
all making new friends. The
people are wonderful. One of
the first things you'll notice,
I'm sure, is the attitude of the
clerks-they are glad to pe of
service. You'll find everything
you could possibly need right
at hand. The produce is excel
lent-when you do feel the need
San Diego and Los Angeles are
both in reasonable distance.
Highway 101 is right at your
front door.
Naturally, as permanent
resident. you'll be out of the
tourist section and will find
good accommodations at cost
less than that comparable to
the District.
AS far as shipping your tur-
niture, that is mainly prefer
ence. I assume you are not in
the service. If you will call the
local companies they will be
able to give you an approXi-
mate estimate. 1t goes by
weight and you'll be amazed at
the weight. However, there is
very little difference in the cost
between competitors. Try fig
uring that plus what you could
sell your furniture for and de-
eide, Also allow for the acci-
dents that occur.
You'll find Western motel ac-
commodations superior to those
in the East. Some will and some
will not accept dogs. have
never travelled with one. I did
have three small children and
found people most willing to be
of help. May I add that it is
wise to stop driving early or to
make reservations in advance.
You can get excellent help on
this by contracting the very large
automobile association, if you
are a member. or touring service
of the company from which you
purchase your gas. I would by
all means suggest this as they
supply the latest information on
roads. accredited listing of motels
in selecting your stopping places.
Also, I would suggest that you
write the Long Beach Chamber
OF Commerce requesting the in
formation that you desire. You'll
be amazed at what you receive.
The schools are ve:y good, as
you will find all of California
government is. The climate is
wonderful. How many places
advertise a year. round bathing
beach. The days are pleasant
and the nights cool. You'll sleep
under a blanket the entire year.
The most important thing you
have to conquer is your attitude.
Look forward to your trip as
something to enjoy and look
forward to. Believe me, it is.
No one ever liked anything that
they had firmly decided they
were going to dislike. I only
wish. Mrs. D.. that I could
change places with you. In six
months you'll never want to
leave.

of their art that the audience

jeanette MocDo Suggests
Five Rules to Protect Voice
Politicians Gould
Learn q Lot From
Singer Here on Tour
By w. H. Shippen

Republican as we'll as Demo-
cratic campaigners could learn
lot from jeanette Macdonald
about how to wind up a big ma
tional tour with no strain on the
vocal chords.
The slender redhead, unlike
many a rugged politician. arrived
in Washington for a return en-
gagement. undaunted by whistle
stops, crowded auditoriums and
tight coast-to-coast schedule.
Miss Macdonald was in good
voice and excellent spirits. Nor
had her sense of humor suffered
after two months of competing
with travellers in an election year
for train reservations. taxicabs,
hotel accommodations and the at
tention of the public.
Although all politicians-like
Miss MacDonald-are anxious to
protect their vocal powers, not all
of them can follow her advice in
this respect:
l. Stay out of smoke-filled
rooms.
2. Avoid cocktail parties, recep-
tions and big dinners while on
the road.
3. Get plenty of fresh air and
exercise. including prebreakfast
calisthenicS in the privacy of the
bedroom.
4. Eat nothing but cottage
cheese on the day of public ap-
pearances until the last engage
ment has been completed.
5. Between engagements, don't
talk politics unless you can say
something nice about both sides.
Another rule Miss Macdonald
would rather practice than preach
appears to be:
Don't talk about yourself. Per-
haps this should be No. /.
The conversation, in an informal
interview yesterday, kept return
ing to general topics-the shop
ping crowds in Washington, the
singers desire to find the Christ
mas gifts her friends will most
appreciate, the recent campaign
and its impact on the people.

Luchese was a target in a recent

He talked to the commission
privately, admitting a long friend

also professed friendship with
many New York politicians and

CI0 Deadlock Holds
In Leadership Fight;
Reuther Forces Gain
BY the AsseeIafed Press

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 29.-
C1O leaders remained tightly
deadlocked today in trying to
choose a new leader, but forces
backing Walter Reuther seemed to
be gaining an upper hand.
A series of closed-door confer
ences engaged top labor officials
seeking a successor to the late
Philip Murray as president of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions.
Mr.. Reuther. As. red-haired
president of the CLOS United Auto
Workers Union, is vying for the
top job with Allan S. Haywood.
64. CIO executive vice president.
Both Report Gains.
Both camps claimed growing
strength. and seemed headed for
a showdown fight for the leader
ship at the C1O convention which
opens here Monday.
A number of the CIO leaders
wanted to avoid any public clash,
They were trying to prevail on
both sides to come to an agree
ment that would prevent any open
split and possibly endanger the
CLOS future.
One of these peacemakers was
Jacob S. Potofsky, president of the
CLOS Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, who told newsmen after
a huddle ending at midnight:
I'm hoping for meeting of
minds, for unity's sake. If it should
come to pass that we can't do that,
then we'll have to have an election
fight"
Top Unions Opposed.
The CLOS two biggest unions.
each claiming more than million
members, are the Steelworkers and
the Auto Workers. The auto union
was in Mr.. Reuther's corner. while
steel was supporting Mr.. Haywood.
These two unions make up the
bulk of the CLOS membership, es-
timated at around five million.
The maneuvering was mainly to
line up the other, smaller unions.
Mr. Reuther was reported to be
nicking away at some of the unions
Mr.. Haywood has claimed.
Mr.. Potofsky made it clear that
the efforts to iron out the contro-
versy probably will continue right
up to the convention. perhaps even
while the convention preliminaries
are under way.
Board Meets Today.
The 46-memher CIO executive
board convened today, but it was
not expected a group so large could
accomplish much on the presi-
dency fight.
Many milestones in the CLOS
stormy 17-year history were estab-
lished here. The CIO was founded
here in 1885. John L. Lewis sur
rendered the CIO presidency to
Mr.. Murray In 1910 in Atlantic
City.
Mr.. Murray led the CIO through
a dozen years until his death sew
eral weeks ago..

MARCH OF DIMES
POSTER GIRL

Em1ca p arr Berry, six,
March of Dimes poster girl, is
one of twelve children in the
family of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawyer
Berry. They live on small farm
near Raymond, Miss. Emma Pearl
was the only one of the twel Te
Berry children stricken with
polio.
Fighting polio for three years,
Emma Pearl now walks with the
aid of a single leg brace and
clutches. When she came down
with the disease at the age OF
three, Emma Pearl suffered pa
ra1ysis of abdominal muscles and
= the muscles of the right leg.
Emma Pearl spent six months
in Lutheran Hospital, VicksburA
Miss. She still remains on the
chapter follow-up program of the
National Foundation for lnfantile
PARALYSIS. March of Dimes funds
amounting to nearly $4,000 have
been spent on braces, special
shoes, crutches and treatment for
the 1852 March of Dimes Poster
Girl
Surgery is recommended for
her in the near future. Payment
for additional treatment will be
provided by the thousands OF
volunteer workers in the March
of Dimes.
Emma PEARLS parents are typ
ical sturdy American parents. But
they could not provide all the
funds necessary for the expensive
care and treatment OF their
daughter. Four of every five polio
patients need the aid of March OF
Dimes fund.
