May I correct the reader

ing cereus only bloomed once
a year? I have a plant that
is IL years old. Since early
summer it has bloomed five
times with q total of u
flowers. The largest number

flowers are the size of a lunch

Mrs. Martha Griffiths, Dem
ocratic Congresswoman-elect
from Michigan. will introduce
q bill to televise some OF the
sessions of Congress. she said
here yesterday.
In town just for the day to
hunt for an apartment. the
attractive 42-year-old grey
eyed woman lawyer said that
she thought the televised
Army-McC Carthy hearings had
q tremendous impact on the
electorate and helped explain
the sizeable turnout Of voters
last week.
II know some people think it
would bring out the ham in
the Congressmen," she said.
But ] think the people would
take care of the hams. I'm sure
the TV hearings marked the
beginning Of the downfall , of
Mccarthy. Once the people
saw him they could make up
their own minds what they
thought of him."
Even more important, Mrs.
Grifiths said, "the hearings
helped people realize the tre-
mendous powers of the Legis-
lature. That, in turn, made
them look more closely at the
Issues the congressman vote on.
More Interest in Issues
81 know this was true in my
district. I ran two years ago.
too, and there was much more
interest in issues this time. In
1862 about one person in 40
would ask about issues. This
time one out Of every four
asked"
Mrs. GriffithS believes the
Increased interest In issues
definitely was q factor IN her
victory over the incumbent
Republican, Representative
Charles G. Oakman. in her
Wayne County district which
has never before sent q Demo-
crat to Congress. (Mrs. Grif-
flths also established two
other 'firsts." She is the first
Democratic Congresswoman
from Michigan and the first
woman Of either party elected
from Wayne County.)
MY opponent tried to avoid
issues and ride back to Office
on President Eisenhower's
coattails." she declared. "Our
district was almost q perfect
example of a race between an
Eisenhower-supporter rider
and someone who wanted to
talk issues. The issues won."
In her campaign she stressed

Small Businessmen's Vote
There are $4,000 unemployed
in the district, "but small
business has been hard hit,
too," she said. II know a lot
Of small businessmen voted
for me. Business can't sell If
people are busted"
She campaigned in a three
room trailer, holding small
meetings wherever she went.
Mrs. Griffiths said she has
always thought of myself as
q liberal Democrat" although
she did not have the support
Of the CIO Political Action
Committee in the Democratic
primary. "They supported me
wholeheartedly in the general
election" she added.
The Congresswoman- -elect
brushed aside a question as to
whether she was a williams
Democrat" (The reference
was to c. Mennan Williams,
Governor of Michigan and
also a partner with Mr.. and
Mrs. GriffithS in a Detroit law
f1rm.)

ulgnLS performance was less

escapable logic Of it become APP
parent.
Miss Withers is the greatest
heiress apparent in all of show
business. She can do anything,
follow in anyone's footsteps, and
with single exception make
everyone forget the original. The
exception, of course, is Mary
Martin, the original Nellie, who
happens to have been born an
unforgettable girl. And who
grows increasingly unforgettable
with the years.
Yet, in spite of small Mary's
vast prestige. Miss Withers re-
stores South Pacific" to what it
used to be. She is both singer
and an actress in the exacting
proportions required to relight
Nellie with her primal radiance,
and incidentally to do pretty
much the same for the total
production.
Willie Mays did, no more for
the New York Giants in their
surge than Miss Withers does
Tor the production which takes

tpnto and its new stars native

Miss Withers' Nellie is her own
handiwork, a thing she and the.
board of directors of South Pa
cific" worked out in terms Of her
happy gifts. It has the capti-
waiting appearance Of spontane-
fly, not because she is a mere
two nights old in the role, but
because she is a young, old pro
at, so to speak, walking. through
triumphal arches. Or scaling es-
tablished thrones.
Some day a combination of
creative humans is going to get
busy and write big. fresh, beau
tiful musical only to find that
Miss Withers is NOT busy in a
production bequeathed to her by
another star.
That is clearly a day to wait
for, but in the meantime Miss
Withers is reminding Nurse For

is a sight that even Miss Mar
tins most faithful fans should
not miss.
Social notes from the Raleigh's
Table 6: This department, no
torious for it's loyalties, is riding
a new bandwagon for the girl
to play Eliza Doolittle in the

This one belongs to Kaye
Ballard. The old one, of
course, was the bandwagon of
Carol Charming. She for
feited our support when she
vacated Cne merely prospective
musical "Pygmalion" in favor
of the highly probable 'Delilah,"
on which John LaTouche is now
working.
Miss Ballard, whose Helen in
"The Golden Apple" has turned
critics into a pack of Parises,
would like very much to be
Eliza. Another thing she
would like is to go on being
