Senator Quits To Speak Frankly and Bluntly" During Election Year

BALIlMORE, (H) - senator Herbert R. O'Conor D-M6, said Monday night he was leaving public office this year "to be free to speak frankly and bluntly |. without appearing to be ungrate- full to any party or supporters"
 And in the seven-minute ad- dress over a Baltimore television station, he criticized what he said were:
 1. "The trend toward socialism It is stronger than ever"
 2. "The idea of security through government handouts"
 3. Government intervention into the daily lives of it's citizens, and government usurpation of ec- onomic activities"
 He did not mention the national administration by name. He re- ferred only to the government"

Communication

To the editor of the Nome Nugget and 10 the Honorable Mayor and Councilmen of the City of Nome Dear Sirs:
 It has come to my attention, while convalescing in the MMM Hospital that our Chief of Police and his assistant have become subjected to uncalled-for abuse by some of the drunks of Nome, and that said drunkS have also been handled in a very inhumane manner during the process of making an arrest.
 Upon viewing this last case where the Chief of Police had broken his night stick over the head of said drunk, blinding him in one eye with a tear gas bomb, that if he would in turn do like wise over the head of each Coun- cilman that voted to relicense the liquor establishments in Nome that we might be able to pound some sense into their heads as to the detrimental effect liquor has in our community.
 Twenty years ago, when I first came to this fair city, we had no liquor problem. The past Seven- teen years the situation has grown steadily worse. Now, therefore, as chairman of the Police Commit tee, I make the following recom- mendations:
 First, that all liquor licenses be cancelled in Nome, effective inn mediately, and each establishment remove it's stock outside of the city limits within thirty days and if not removed said stocks be confiscated and destroyed by the officials of the city at the end of said period. If so removed, 90% of taxes paid to the city be refun- ded to said parties and any un- paid taxes cancelled.
 Second, to send to the States for eight hard boiled Policemen, or the equivalent of one for each bar, and. under the supervision of Chief of Police Glass and his assistant, police the bars and city like it is supposed to be policed, and thus relieve the local Chief and his assistant from taking the uncalled-for abuse authorized by the present council.
 Therefore and furthermore, since I have served the purpose for which was appointed, acting as councilman in order that the city can continue to maintain quorum until such a time they be- come Of full strength, which they have at present, unless the coun- cil sees fit to act immediately on one or the other of the aforemen- tioned recommendations, I here by tender my resignation, effec- tive immediately. I cannot feel justified in affiliating myself with such a Weak-kneed council. Prayerfully yours, IGslN l.

There will be so floats. Pasa-

To keep them fresh, the flowers
are left unpicked as long as pos
sible and then rushed into Pasa-
dena on the last day of December.
On New Years eve when others
are celebrating. float workers are
faShioning the fresh blooms into
giant creations of beauty.
When the sun comes up over
the mile-high San Gabriel Noun

and lined up on Orange Grove

that the perfume of the flowers
watts to the throngs lining the
parade route.
For two days afterward the
floats are parked in Victory Park

proaches its climax. Certainly il
would be impossible to reject a
man so witty, charming and hand
some as Lawford merely because
he lives by lifting jewels.
And. how often outside of Eng
lish mystery fiction does any one
f1nd a character so daring that he
works hand in hand with Scot
land Yards best men while they
are looking for him? Virtually
never. of course.
Almost equally winning is Actor
Culver's imitation of Inspector
tConnor. This is a gracious. dryly
witty man, a worthy foeman in
any duel of wits with a master
criminal. Buried in the comedy
tovertones of their relationship is a
deal OF suspense that lifts THE
Hour of 13" out of the familiar
rut travelled by it's kind.
Miss Addams, in the role of the
daughter of the Scotland Yard
BOSS. is a most agreeable addition
to Metros roster of girls likely to
succeed in the movies. She is not
merely attractive to look at. but
clearly possessed of considerable
polish in the trick of being half
taken in by so likely a scoundrel
as Lawford.
On the whole, they make the
Nets picture a reasonably divert
ing work of type that has not
been too evident lately.
Time Out for Ginger" will not
be coming to the Sam S. Shubert
next week, after all. The domestic
comedy by Ronald Alexander, STAR
ring Melvyn Douglas and featur-
ing Polly Rowls among others. has
cancelled its Washington booking
in favor of an extra week in Phila.
/ delphia.
The reason? Well, these things
always are a little obscure but one
explanation offered is that, with a
set of good reviews in Philadel-
phla. the sponsors could see no
reason for risking less enthusias-
TIC set in the Nations Capital. It
is agreeable to go into New York
with a f1attering reception on the
road.
The Shubert, therefore, will be
dark next week awaiting the ar
rival November "a of Paint Your

musical success, which will star
Burl Ives. And which, with its
travelling group of 80. is one of the
largest productions that has taken

The plot of the film. directed
by Hayes Goetz. is extracted from
a novel by Philip Macdonald.
In this fiction. Macdonald re-
lated the story of an indirect de-
scendant of Raffles. This chap.
played by Lawford, has concluded
1t is the duty OLA man to live
by his wits. He operates accord
ingly as a jewel thief in the upper
crust of British society where he
finds his victims so unsuspecting
they are clearly made to order
for his kind.
His biggest snatch is an emer-
aid worth 5000 pounds but the
grace Of the theft is marred by
the fact that a policeman has
been murdered outside the house
at precisely the same time. AS
1t very we'll might, Scotland Yard
concludes the two crimes are re-
lated.
LaWford. naturally, is not at
all f1attered to be associated with
a crime so crude as murder with
the consequence that he volun-
tarlly joins the Yards hunt for
the real murderer. Inspector
Connor fRoland Culver resents
this intrusion, but he is more or
less forced to accept it since Law
ford has had the foresight to
court the daughter of the Yards
superintendent.
In addition to not wanting to
offend the boss, he is rather in
terested in Lawford as a type who
lives on the fringe of the best
people while having no visible
means of support.

.Conferees Knock Out
Funds for Completion
OF Suit|and PARKWAY

Funds to complete the second
lane of Suitland parkway were
stricken from an appropriation
bill today by a House Senate con-
ference committee.
The House originally had de-
leted the construction item of
$3.50. 900 requested by the National
Park Service. The Senate re-
stored this figure, but the confer
|ence committee today knocked it
out of the Interior Department
appropriation bill.
The money was requested to
finish the second ribbon of Suit
land parkway from Silver Hill to
Andrews Air Force Base. Con-
gress was told that the Park Serv-
ice has sufficient funds to finish
the second lane this year from
Washington to Silver Hill.
The Interior Department bill
now whipped into virtually final
form carries $6,75O,O00 to COM
Iplete the Federal leg of the Wash

This money was approved by
both the House and Senate, and

Divided Democrats

cratic national convention.

The competing conservative or

nomination. And while Mason
Owlett, Taft-supporting national
committeeman from Pennsylvania, +,
argued against and voted against
television, Mrs. D. Ray Murdock, !,
national committeewoman for
Pennsylvania, voted with the
Eisenhower forces.
In addition, out of % members
who are going off the National
Committee-either through defeat
or voluntary retirement-19 voted
against television and one was
absent and did not vote.
Dewey Telegam Read.
Just before the vote was taken
on television, Guy Gabrielson, Re-
publican National chairman, read
to the committee a telegram from
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, sent from Houston, Texas,
where he has been attending the
Governors conference. It said:
Il have been told Senator Taft's
representatives just claimed on
television that he favors opening
National Committee hearings on
stolen delegates to television and
radio, but that committee will not
do so because it is Dewey con-
trolled. This is nonsense, but will
you not please advise committee
in meeting assembled that, if II
have influence with committee. I
request and direct that it open
hearings to all media of communi-
cation so American people can see
and judge the ScandalouS way
Taft delegates were chosen here
in Texas and elsewhere, and see
that Eisenhowr delegates were
properly elected by the people
qualified to vote at legal conven-
tions held in accordance with the
law and the rules of the Republi-
can Party. Let the people see
and hear the evidence. Any other
course would do irreparable injury
to public confidence in the integ-
rity Of the party"
Whether he intended it or not, |
the effect Of the reading of the
telegram by Mr.. Gabrielson was
to anger the Taft committeeman
and stiffen their opposition to
the use of television. Some of
the Eisenhower people feel that
the sending of the telegram was
a tactical error.
Vote on Minority Report.
The vote came on a motion by
Representative Clarence Brown of
Ohio to adopt the minority report |
of the subcommittee on television,
instead of the majority report
presented by Mcintyre FAIRIES of
California favoring television. The
members of the subcommittee who
joined with Mr.. FAIRIES in the ma
jority report were former Senator
Weeks and Mrs. Howard Coffin |
of the District of Columbia. Mrs.
Estelle Tanner of Missouri sided
with Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. FAIRIES, in presenting the
majority report, said the industry
had been very cooperative in Of
fering to pool facilities. Mr.. |
Brown, speaking for the minority, |
said that it was proposed to aban-
don the long g-established rule" of |
the committee not to permit tele-
vision or pictures of the commit
tee sessions. He said that news
paper reporters and reporters for
radio and television were admitted
to the hearings and that there was
no effort to conceal anything.
Mr.. Brown suggested that if the
present request were granted.
further demands might be ex-
pected, even to setting up print
ing press and publishing newspa-
pers in the committee room. He
said the committee operated under

tee hearings.
Mason Owlett of Pennsylvania,
against television, said he
did not want "all these things to
go out over the air-it would not
be good for the party" 1t would,
he added. make a "sideshow" out
of quasi-judicial proceedings of

harm" to the Republican Party.
