NEW STYLE GIRLS ARE DULL
IN OLD STYLE GIRL SHOW
BY JOHN MCCAIN


The title of the musical at the Henger Theater
Ankles Aweigh" and that should have been the
tipof You imagine the moment when the writers
and the producers sitting in smokeled they
had a script but they didn't have title.
Finally one of them jumped up and said Fellas. I've
got it! It's story about the Navy and there lot Of
girls in it. Let's call it Ankles Awegh.'" The fact that
nobody objected able to improve upon should
be some indication of what follow For it is
expression of the depth of humor and ingenuity Of the whole
evening.
This is meant to be real old-tme grille show, with
big SETS bright music and pleasant workable plot that
will keep things in motion. What emerges, however, is
something bana to have the charm of nostalgia too
corny for modern standards.
There times opening night when it was almost
impossible to tell whether the actors kidding the
material vice versa.
The actual plot of ankles" dehes definition.
Betty and Jane Kean performers Of stature and
experience capable of deoshing nght-club audiences
from coast to coast but here they limited by dreary
plot jokes and routnes below the level Of their act

Carpenter delivered pretty good number and Betty

One of the Democratic Com

Generally Lobbyists Do
More Good Than Harm
By Gene Goodwin

banquet for the legislators is
put on by the Laundrymen's
Institute, an organization Of
Maryland laundry and dry
cleaning establishments. The
odd thing about this affair is
that no one has ever been
able to figure out what the
laundrymen hope to gain by
it. No one can remember any
legislation directly affecting
that industry.
Tour Of the PIont'
One Of the Baltimore brew
cries generally puts on q
gigantic beer party during each
session, sometimes disguised as
q tour of the plant"
Some lobbyists, such as Joe
Dyer Of the telephone COM
pany, prefer more intimate
parties. Mr.. Dyer frequently
invites small groups of legis-
lators-say the Montgomery
County delegation-to dine
with him at the Annapolis
Yacht Club.
No list Of "old pros" would
be complete without Joseph
p. Lanigan of the Maryland
Petroleum Industries Commit
tee, and the big four of the
labor lobby--the AFL's Harry
Cohn. the CLOS Charles A.
Della, William H. Morris of
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and D. L. Adams
of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers.
William S. Wilson, jr.. of the
Baltimore Association of Com
merce. is another old timer in
the lobbyists club. but he fits
more comfortably into a cate
CORY with legislative agents
for such organizations as the
Farm Bureau. the League Of
Women Voters, veterans or
ganiZations, the State Medical
Society, the AAA and chuIeR
groups.
One Shot lobbies
The lobbyists who give the
profession its bad name are
the boys who come here Or i
one-shot assignment rs earn
q big fee.
Two one-saot Hobbies making
q splash In this session are the
Maryland Petition Committee,
which Is trying to push bills
preserving segregated schools,
and the Right4to-W Work Com
mittee. which is interested in
ogItlawirH the union shop in
MarylaIid as Is done now in
Virginia and 16 other States.
Competing with and usually
out influencing all Of the
Registered lobbyists are q host
of State officials and political
bosses, who don't have to
register. Some of them spend
more time buttonholing legis-
lators than any Of the regular
lobbyists.
Another powerful group Of
unregistered lobbyists is In
the Legislature itself. Some
legislators either are tied up
with or employed by certain
industries and are inclined to
look after the interest Of
those industries while making
laws.
Those who would condemn
lobbyists, both registered and
unregistered. often forget the
constitutional right Of peti.
ton. The lobbyist, in q great
sense. is nothing but the mod
ern-day offshoot Of the old
Democratic privilege Of petit
tioning ones government about
ones grievances.
Today's petitioner merely
hires himself a lawyer and
sends him to Annapolis.
