the younger generation seems
safe after all in the face of any,
thing television has to offer. The
latest reaSsuring word indicating
that all the young are not being
moulded into frightening shapes
by television comes from the Far
West.
The standard-bearer this time
for the heartening segment of
the younger set is Susie, 11-year-
old daughter of the F. Cowles
Stricklands. Washingtonians re-
member Mr.. Strickland as the
director of the Washington Civic
Theater during the best period
of its erratic life.
Now he and his family are liv-
ing in Palo Alto, Calf, where
he is drama director at Stanford
University. His children have a
proper respect for literature and
the theater, as you might expect.
1t was Susie who was being
badgered one day by a school,
mate, who contended Susie's life
was empty because there was no
TV set at home.
Susie haughtily drew herself
up and squelched: Did your
mother just finish reading Tom
Sawyer to you? There are some
children who don't NEED tele-
vision Set!"

is in trouble. Well. right now he
is on vacation, but when Milton
Berle returns to NBC-TV for
the new season he will find him
self in trouble. Berle had things
his own way for long time on
Tuesday nights at 8. Then Du-
Mont got to him with Bishop
Fulton j. Sheen, who gave the
adults something to do while
Berle was on. CHS tried every
thing from Frank Sinatra to
almost complete default, with
out success.
CHS never gave up, however,
and now it has Just discovered a
big gun to unlimber in Berle's
direction. Tomorrow night at
Gene Autry Show moves into
the Tuesday at 8 spot on CBS-
WTOP-TV All through the
summer Autry will be wooing the
young to Channel 9 on Tues
days. When Berle returns, he'll
have to return on horseback,
with six-guns blazing to attract
any attention at all.
He might do just that, too.
CHS executives may feel pretty
complacent about this Autry
move right now, but there is
something they had better re-
member. There are a couple of
fellows working on the NBC
ranch-a couple of fellows named
Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rog-
ers. There will be no surprise
displayed around here if Berle

as guest stars, right in Autry's

Mrs. AuguSte said she wrote

The break up came last night.

Dempsey had Stalked out of
Mrs. Auguste's apartment in the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel a few
minutes before she announced
that the engagement was broken.
At the Mayflower Hotel, where
Dempsey is staying. a telephone
operator said in answer to calls:
"Mr. Dempsey is extremely tired.
He has left instructions not to be
disturbed until tomorrow morn

Mrs. Auguste-who at AZ is Is

She said she was leaving for

Asked how she reached her
decision that an oil-and-water

The blond widow said early to-

were "a lot of things that got

equalization program, which passed
the Senate Thursday afternoon and
lead Governor White to say that
the sentiment of the members of
the Legislature had changed. and
to predict the passage and enact
ment into law Of the equalization
program.
While the governor optimism
was heartening to the proponents
of the legislation it was pointed
out that the Legislature still had
81 more separate bills to enact
into law in order to complete the
program.
There was some speculation as
to whether or not the Boyd letter,
contributed to the changing sent-
ment of the Legislature as noted
by Governor White.
The Boyd letter follows:

which the largest crowd in the
history of the long rivalry between
the two teams is expected to be on
hand to witness the contest at
Alumni Stadium, Jackson College,
at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
For the first time during the
past five years Jackson College
partisans are confident of Tiger
victory, fact due largely to the
great showing that the Tigers
made in holding the powerful Lin
coin University eleven, which had
ran rough-shod over the Braves.
to hard earned 24-12 victory in
their last conference game here.
Equally confident of a continu-
ing string of victories are the back
ers of the Alcorn College Braves.
They point to the fact that while
The Tigers were impressive against
Lincoln they always wilt when
they face the fighting Braves.
1t is these opposing sentiments
which have spread across the state
during the past two weeks and
which gives foundation to the pre-
diction that the Saturday after
noon crowd may be the first to fill
Alumni Stadium to its capacity.

accumulated failures in legislative
enactments and practices h e
given cause for reasonable doubt
and skepticism. Notwithstanding
past disappointments, however. Ne
gro citizens have gained new cour-

this special session by Governor
White.
We recognize that the proposals
Of the Committee are designed to
