white and blue, had himself
1speckled with stars by the two
professional actors who carry the
burden of his show, and CALAMITY
declared himself to be a real red
blooded American boy.
"The only answer to the vulgar
display of patriotism is that he
cannot intelligently discuss the
issues of the campaign.
I'm his weekly soap opera he
has on other occasions promised
, to balance the budget, oppose the
Truman Fair Deal administration

Two leaders prominent in party
affairs squared off in a television
program at Baltimore, Repub-

Mr.. Nice contended that the
Democrats are trying to "instill a
fear in the American people that
II they have a change they might
be thrown back to the dismal and
dark past of 20 years ago." I'VE

Mr.. Lee replied, with the Quota
ton, How long is too long when
tits good?'"
