walk down Astor street yesterda!
to peer at the scene on the op.

She looked at the red brick

curb, the hastily emplaced tele.

ers and passersby, lounging on thu
sidewalk. The lady shifted:
You'd think they had Johr
Dillinger trapped in there"
In fact, Illinois Gov. Stevenson
was behaving like a man fightins
a losing battle against his fate
a fate that in the eyes of many
became more inevitable with each
passing hour.
Few Doubt Sincerity.
There were few people who still
doubted the sincerity of this mar
who had repeatedly said he didn'
want to be President. There wer,
even fewer who believed that, ono,
the nomination was offered t,
him. it would be turned down
But there was no one who couls
deny that he was staying out O.
the picture until, the last possibl,
minute.
For allfthat the public and tln,
|newsmen had seen of him in tn,
last few days he might as vel
have been in Siberia. Holed III
in the home of his friend, William
Mccormick Blair (the place il
known to Chicagoans as "Blai
House").
For the first time since he dis.
appeared into the house WedneS.
day afternoon, Gov. Stevenson
emerged today in a double
breasted blue suit and a panama
hat and set out on a one-blocl
walk to the lake shore apartment
of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Ives
AS he strolled along, fanked b,
his bodyguard, and surrounded b,
photographers and reporters, Gov
Stevenson remarked:
Il never knew I had so man,
friends"
The death watch" had beer
set up yesterday and the suddel
invasion of the exclusive Col.
Coast district will not soon be for
gotten by Mr.. Blair's neighbors.
The press corps, denied admis
sion to the house, bivouacked OF
the sidewalk and the yard. With
in an hour, telephone men wer'
clinging to the branches of Rusl
streets stately elmS, stringin,
communication wires. Camera.
and lights zeroed in on all tn,
entrances to the house. A sidewall
radio blared the proceedings a
Convention Hall, which Is at thu
other end Of the city. .
Reserved Curiosity Shown.
BY noon the crowd had begur
to gather, composed mostly of dos
and baby-walkers-a crowd, very
different in its reserved curiosity

Stevenson Behaves Like Fighte,
Losing a Battle Against Fate

Ifrom the hysterical throngs that
gather downtown whenever cam
didate. is expected to- appear. For
one thing, Gold Coast residents
have reputation for propriety.
For another. they are almost all
Republicans.
Still, they were curious. One
young matron pushing a baby
carriage confided that, under nor
NAL circumstances, she never
came so far on her walk.
MY feet are killing me-" she
complained. IF he doesn't come
out soon, I'll be ruined"
| Gov. Stevenson, however, had
no intention of coming out. He
fsent word by his press secretary
that he would have no statement
at all until after the nomination
balloting was over.
After the Governors name was
Iplaced before the convention yes
terday, he said only:
II had hoped they would not
nominate me. but I am deeply af-
fected by this expression of con-
f1dence and good will"
Poetic Inquiry Fails.
| Hopefully, the reporters sent in
their questions: Have you been in
communication with President
Truman or his representative?
Will you accept the nomination
for President if the convention
offers it to you after it becomes
apparent that no candidate can
fget a majority?
Mindful that the Governor
writes poetry in his less occupied
moments. the reporters added a
Jingle to their message:
Here we are as anxious as a
bride.
|"While you sit so silently inside.
please answer our query
| because we're getting weary
while the world waits for you to
decide"
After digeSting this, at some
length the Governor sent out his
reply. The answers-to the first
question: No; to the second: No
comment. The news corps settled
down grimly to wait out the re-
Isult of the convention.
I
Weird Theatrical Setting.
Hour after hour and far into
Ithe night the vigil went on. In
the walled yard beside the house
a solid ring of cameras and lights
faced the portico where the state
ment-if any-would be made. A
police guard had been set up al
the garden gate with instructions
to keep out the public. Camera
lcrewS lounged on the grass beside
their equipment, shooting the
breeze and drinking beer supplied
by Mr.. Blair.
The street scene had a weird
theatrical quality under the glare
of television floodlights. The crowd
around the radio sat on chairs and
newspapers, groaning at each new
parliamentary complication in
Convention Hall.
Throughout the night, as during
the day, nothing could be seen
from the house. But lights burned
behind each curtained window
and it was learned that Gov.

New Sites in 1854

The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
will seek $685. 900 from Congress

in for $393,00 of the request.
Prince Georges would get $492, 900.
The commission said the funds
are needed desperately for &C
quisition Of park land which Is
threatened by the rapid rise Of

HOLLYWOOD.


Here's one rising television stal
whose success hasn't gone to his
head. He's living in a trailer ano
intends to continue doing so.
He is Johnny Dugan, who ap-
peared last week on Eddie Can
tors show and is the summer re-
placement for the Ralph Edwards
daytime TV-er. Although the
singer repeatedly earns $500 week
ly and up, his address remains the
Three Pines Trailer Park in North
Hollywood. He lives there with
his pretty wife, their daughter. Z;
son, 6, and a cocker spaniel.
I dropped by the Dugans' home
stead to see why he favored COM
pact and portable living.
We'll, it started about three
years ago." he related. II flew out
from New York to play an engage
ment here. I had expected the
wife and kids to stay in the East
but she couldn't see it. They flew
out to join me. Then I started
playing night clubs all over tht
West-Reno. Las Vegas, Phoenix
Seattle, etc.
Family Went. Too
1T was too much trouble tt
pack up a whole family every
time I played a date out of town
So my wife suggested that we buy
"a trailer. She said there was nc
use having marriage unless you
were together. And she's right
When a husband and wife are g
thousand miles apart, something
lis bound to happen"
During the past year, Johnny's
star has been rising in television
and he has abandoned his gypsy
ways. But although he has re-
manned in Hollywood, he still
favors the trailer life.
I'D rather live here than in an
apartment" he remarked. II like
to let my kids have fun. You
can't let them enjoy themselves
without disturbing some one when
you live in an apartment. AS for
renting a house it's hard to find
a place that will allow children
and isn't sky-high in rent.
"We have thought of buying a
house. But our trouble has been
a champagne appetite with a beer
salary. We want our house to be
the best, so we're willing to wait
until we can afford it.
1t Hos Its Merits
"In that respect, I differ from
a lot of guys who begin to succeed
in show business. see them driv-
ing in Cadillacs they can't afford.
I've thought about trading in my
car for one, then I say to it:
You're all mine, baby. No finance
company can come and take you
away"
Johnny said the advantages OF
trailer life outweigh the draw
backs.

Collections
For Missions
Regularized
Sacred Congregation For
Propagation OF Faith
Issues Instructions

VATICAN CITY - Radio, NO
An instruction regularizing mis-
sion collections by religious orders
and other agencies was issued here
by the Sacred Congregation for
the Propagation of the Faith. The
instruction was published in the
Acta Apostolicae Sedis, official
publication of the Holy See.
The instruction is particularly
concerned with the status of pom
tifical mission organizations and
the relations of other groups to
them. 1t deals especially also
with activities in support of the
pontifical organizations.
Embodied in the instruction
are seven norms, as follows:
l. Missionary institutes in the
Church are perfectly entitled to
seek support for their various
works by calling them to the at
tention of the faithful, but should
not overlook informing the faith
full of the purposes of the ponti-
fical agencies so as to encourage
them to become identified with
them.
2. Institutes need the Ordinary's
permission through the diocesan
director, and should employ NAM
es for their projects which do not
confound them with the pontific-
al agencies.
3. Institutes should cooperate
for Mission Days (Sundays) by
sending all offerings to the dio-
cesan directors, avoiding all COM
petitive activity that diminishes
the success of such Days for a
decent period OF time before hand.
d. National directors especially
should take precautions lest abuses
of the purposes of national and
worldwide days be diverted to the
assistance of local needs in ter.
ritory not under the jurisdiction
of the Congregation of Propaganda
Eide.
5. National and diocesan direc
tors are urged to avoid waste and
unnecessary expenses.
8. Mission Day is to be cele.
brated according to the establish
ed norms. insofar as national di-
rectors can best apply them un-
der local circumstances.
7. Moderators of all schools are
urged to promote the interest OF
the pontifical missionary works.
to have special observances OF
Mission days, and to forward all
pertinent funds to the diocesan
directors in toto.

New Convent
Sends 5 Nuns
To Missions

PRINCETON. N. J.-(NC)-Five
Missionary Sisters of the Precious
Blood have left here for Europe,
enroute to mission work in South
Africa. They represent the first
fruits of convent opened here by
their Congregation in 1948 to train
American girls for the home and
foreign missions.
The newIy-professed Sisters re
ceived their mission crosses from
Bishop George Abr of Trenton and
renewed their vows in an impress
i've ceremony at the Precious Blood
Convent here. The nuns are Sister
NJ. Brigid, formerly Grace Wander
grift of Trenton, N. j.; Sister Ma
rie Paul, formerly Mary 10 Tacke
of Cottonwood, Idaho; Sister Mary
Joseph, formerly Mary Therese
Hasson of New York City; Sister M.
Anthony, formerly Helen Marie
Richard of st. Louis. and Sister
M. Martin, formerly Florence Nc
Pommell of Springfield. o.
The congregation was formed IS
years ago at MarianhilI. Natal,
South Africa, by the Trappist Alb
bot Francis Pfanner, to provide
Sisters for work among the ma
tives. The community now has
/, 100 members on four continents,
but most of the nuns are on mis-
sion assignments in southern, east
ern and central sections of Africa,
New Guinea and India. The con.
vent here was established by Sis
ters who came from the mother
house in Holland.

Bring First Mass
In Four Centuries
To Welsh Island

CARDIFF, Wales - NC) -
Welsh Catholics have once again
set up an oratory for Mass and
the Sacraments on Bardsey Island
off the northern tip of Cardigan
Bay and once known a. "the
holiest spot in Wales"
Members of Y Cylch Catholig
crossed the difficult seas from the
mainland for the first Mass since
the spoliation of the monastery
there during the Reformation 400
years ago. They prayed specially
for its restoration.
A succession of priests will of
