These latter will be used, Of

races, 33 'key" contests for
House seats and 80 guberna-

For what the trade calls
a "one-shot," an inordinate
amount of time and effort
must be expended on an
election night coverage by a
network. Paul Levitas, for in
stance, who is listed as pro-
ducer of the election broad
casts for CHS, started work on
the project in November, 1853.
TeIetypes for Daily
The same thing has been
going on elsewhere. At ABC, :
for instance, where Tv News
Vice President John DAILY is
in charge, a task force num-
bering about 750 has been
assembled to report election
results Tuesday night.
DAILY, Elmer Davis, Bryson
Rash, Martin Agronsky and
GunrTar Back will be among
those on camera during the
evening for reports and COM
ment. Behind the scenes
others will be assembling ma
terial passed along by a spe-
cial leased-wire teletype cir
cult connecting six ABC news
bureaus in major cities and
$50 affiliated stations.
CBS's Univac may be able
to out-predict the non-elec-
tronic brains at ABC, but the
latter network is depending
on this private teletype link to
give 1t an edge in actual vote
count. ABC used the same sys-
tenn in 1948 and in 1852 and its
tabulated returns continually
ran approximately a million
votes ahead of the opposition.

election night news will be
made by "a couple of dozen
contests for House seats and
approximately a half dozen in

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-Every
once in while, one hears subtle
- and sometimes not-so-Subtle -
remark about some of the major
league baseball clubs having reach
ed the saturation point with Negro
players. There may be few people
in this country who don't entirely
like the idea and soy so, there are
probably a lot who don't care much
for the idea but wouldn't dare say
so, and then there are those who
just don't care, and we're willing
to bet that's where the average
fan would stand.
Saturation point? Who ever
heard of ball club having reached
a point where it was saturated
with good players? And the only
Negro players on any team in the
country are good players, and when
they've been in the game, every
body knows it. They all leave their
calling card.
Of course, there may be those
people who make their remarks
about baseball being overrun by
Negroes, in the same light they
used to say that a fellows name
had to end in "ski" to get into the
Notre Dame backfield. Everybody
has had something to say about
that at one time or another, but
nobody ever said the team was
topheavy with skis" to the point
where they advocated replacing
them with Smiths or Browns.
We prefer to think that those
who refer to the "saturation" point
are only kidding.

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-When
we were very young (never mind
how many, many years ago. we
used to throughtly enjoy the ad-
ventures of alice" when she went
Through the Looking Glass" One
particular incident we found eS-
pecially amusing.
1t happened during Alice's tour
through looking glass country
guided by the Red Queen. We used
to squeal with delight when the
Red Queen suddenly seized Alice's
hand and, for a few minutes, they
ran as fast as they possibly could;
but when they finally sat down,
exhausted, to rest under a tree,
Alice was beWildered to discover
that they were in exactly the same
spot as before.
Alice expressed her surprise and
complained to the Red Queen that,
after all, where she came from, one
usually got to someplace after
running like mad, and the Red
Queen said, That's a very slow
place you come from, indeed. Here
we have to run as fast as we can
to stay in the same place." Or
words to that effect.
Now, of course, Alice was only a
little girl, and maybe she didn't
know it; but it's the same on this
side of the mirror. We have to run
as fast as we can, fight as hard as
we can, give it all we've got, just
to maintain the status quo. Just
when we think maybe we've brOk-
en- down a barrier, up comes an
other one to be beaten down. When
we think we've had a hand in
educating the public to accept some
of the principles of fair play, up
comes a bigot, gathers his mob
around him and declares no one
shall enter his charmed circle.
There were actually some peo-
pie who were willing to go along
with Senator Sparknqan when he
laid some claim to being liberal"
and they were convinced that he
had learned a thing or two during
his extensive contact throughout
the country. 1t seems the Senator
had sponsored a lot of good legis-
lation, like school lunches, or some
such, and these people were con-
fident he had seen the light. How
ever, the Senator's latest utter
ances on civil right should set the
record straight once and for all.
The Senator is right back where
he started from. And, so is any,
body who thought he had been
educated.

Group Rules
Against Girl
lin Page Job

Representative Heating. Re-
publican. Of New York, cham
pioned the fight for giving girls
a chance to serve as congress
sional pages this week when he
formally requested the appoint
ment of a Rochester IN. " high
school girl.
He was turned down. however,
by the House Patronage Com
mittee which made its opposition
known through an informal tele-
phone call.
DiSagreeing with the decision,
Mr.. Heating said that "as a mat
ter of principle. he intended to
continue fighting this dis
criminatory ruling"
The New Yorker recommended
the appointment Of Margaret S.
Alden. IS, on learning that his
present page is leaving Washing
ton.
Miss Alden applied for a page
job last January, starting a dis
cussion on Capitol Hill of the
pros and cons Of page jobs for
girls.
The subject came up again
last week when two Columbus
(Ohio) teen-agers started a 10
day campaign for the appoint
ment of girl pages. The young
feministS-Diane Powell, 10,
and Mary Ann Huggard, IA
reported some members of Con-
greSs favorable to their propo-
sal, but solid front of OPPOSE
ton from boys who now
monopolize the jobs of running
errands for members of Con-
gress.
During their Washington visit,
the girls stayed with Danes
mother, Mrs. ErneStine B.
Powell. at Alva Belmont House,
headquarters of the National
Woman's Party. Mrs. Powell is
honorary chairman Of the Or
ganization. which works for the
equal rights amendments.
Mr.. Heating pointed out that
the job of page "opens up a
great opportunity to learn about
the workings of government" He
said he saw no reason why young
women couldn't do as good a
job as the young men.
ITO close the door to girls does
not seem to be in line with our
best traditions" he declared.
