lub, who in the presence of Vice
spoke for the Republicans. and
Senator Kennedy of Massachu-

"COurt" Exultant
OF to q rousing start via the
Marine Hymn" which went on
to predict that:
"If the Army and the Navy
Ever gaze on Heaven scenes
They will find the streets are

BY IBM machines"
The gridiron satirical satel-
lite zoomed back to earth
where, guests were told, nine
gentlemen wished to sing. To
the tune of the Battle Hymn
of the Republic" nine club
members representing the SUI
preme Court sang:
mime eyes have seen the glory
of a civil rights decree.
We have trampled on the
Democrats and also
G. o. p.
AS for who is going to make it
work. I'm glad it isn't me.
oh. boy. this job is fun.
"Glory, glory. always justice
Five to four it's always justice
We give double scoops Of JUS

For just the price of one. :"
For the impressive portico of
the Supreme Court, the scene
of the show shifted to a snarl-
ing, dissension-ridden Western
COW town where Sheriff john
son, Deputy Marshal Stuart Sy-
mington and their posse were
holding kangaroo court. The
posse brought in its first pris-
oner, Harry S. Truman, who in
| a defiant mood, declared:
"I'm gonna sit right down and
write some one a letter.
And give 'em hell in words
of yore.
I'm gonna write words, oh, so
tough.
They're gonna knock of all
that gun. !"
Truman Sentenced
Marshal johnson sentences
Mr.. Truman to 40 years on
bread and water. And not too
much water-or bread"
Two forlorn men are next

poor mans Hartman" and his
travelling companion, Walter
Reuther. vice president of the
CIO-AFL. Mr.. Reuther has
some advice for Williams:
Button up your union suit on
a stumping spree,
Take good care of yourself, you
belong TO me.
If by chance the Democrats
vote you nominee,
Make sure they understand,
I've a share in thee. -
Gov. Williams is ordered shot
because shes the one without
the delegates"
Marshal johnson and the
posse eye coldly a city dude
accompanied by a cowhand.
They give their names - the
dude, Adlai Stevenson; the
cowhand. Senator Humphrey.
Democrat of Minnesota. who
declares Mr.. Stevenson is the
best shot the Democrats have:
Hes been shot in AZ States"
To the tune of Poor Butterfly"
Senator Humphrey laments:
Poor Ad-a-lie,
Once his hopes were fading.
Poor Ad-a-lie,
For we loved him so. ~
Joins Truman
His plea falls on deaf ears.
Mr.. Stevenson is sentenced to
maximum punishment. He is
put in the same cell with
Harry Truman.
An unabashed rebel in a
Union cavalry uniform is next
Scrutinized by the court. De-
claring he is Gov. Faubus, who
has just been drafted into the
Union Army, he grabs a guitar
and without repentance plays
and sings an old post-Civil War
ballad:
IAN unreconstructed rebel. For
that's just what / am.
For this fair land of freedom.
/ do not give a damn.
I'm glad we fought against 'em.
I only wish we'd won.
And I don want no pardon for
anything I've done. :"
Because ION matters inter-
racial, he's strictly outer-spa-
tial," Sheriff johnson delivers
the verdict of mo comment"
AS Gov. Faubus disappears,
Averell Hartman is hailed be-
fore the court. He introduces
a friend with whom he has two
things in commonwealth and
provident daddies. His friend.
