Kids, of course, can be terribly funny - as I've
already revealed in this magazine well as in my
new book, ''The Secret World Of Kids" But Garry
Moore had an experience with a tot that could have
been far from funny. He had cute little l9-month
old girl on his show Her secret: ri learned how to
swim four months ago." Well, she could swim all
right, performed like little dolphin in a wet

Secret" rented and trucked to the studios. But
that night, with millions watching, she just sat on
the edge of the pool and refused to 60 in.
One shove would have solved the problem
Here was typical emcee emergency: the sponsor,
the advertising agency, and millions of people
expected this child to swim. Someone standing off
camera behind Garry whispered Push her in!
Push her in!'' But Garry made wise decision. He
just sat down beside the tot hugged her, looked the
TV camera straight in the eye and said: Believe me-
folks, she swan this afternoon"
One Of the most embarrassing moments for an
emcee happened to George Dewitt on Name That

endearingly of slcng pork chops and of his fond

orchestra fanfare and applause on the program. All
eyes then turned to Mario to feast on his joy. He
was the picture of detection.

always been to go into the florist business. Last
week, my brother and took my winnings and bought

So "Name That Tune found itself in the meat

gone the way Of most quiz shows.

This slugfest was Little Lord Fauntleroy affair
time on our People Are Funny show. We had
secretly placed two stunt men in the audience with
instructions to get up in the middle of the show,
start battling each other at their seats, and then
chase each other onto the stage and finish their
''grudge fight" up there. Later we intended asking
startled members of the audience to give their ver
sions of what happened, to show how unreliable
eyewitness evidence can be.

Unfortunately, we had overlooked a crucial fact:
audience that day consisted almost exclusively
of servicemen When the disturbance started, three
kindhearted sailors seated next to the stunt men
dove in to stop the fight But when four soldiers
the sailors attack, they attacked the sailors. Six
marines then piled onto the other two branches of
the service - and the freefor-all spread to every
corner of the theater

BY the Associated Press

Here's how the Senate's Ken
nedy-Ervin labor bill and the
Houses Landrum- Grim meas
ure compare on eight main
provisions:
UNION MEMBER RIGHTS
Both bills guarantee freedom
Of speech and assembly; pro-
lection against arbitrary dues
initiation fees and assessments;
equal rights for all members;
the right to sue union or It's
officers for violation Of rights,
and safeguards against i'm
proper disciplinary action.
The Senate bill would punish
infringement Of those rights by
up to two years in prison and
$4,000 fine. AS amended yes
terday, the Landrum-Gri bill
would scale that to a maximum
Of a year in Jail and a $1,000
fine.

out. This condition must be
the effect of some insidious
poison. 1t is not normal"
Mr.. McKelway said he be-
lieved people in the District
who favored home rule I'M
doubtedly would favor national
representation. But they have
the impression that is is very
difficult to amend the Con-
stitution, he added.
II can assure them I will
support it," Mr.. Abernethy said.
II will testify for them. I can't
understand the apparent lack
Of interest"
Mr.. McKelway was the first
witness to testify in opposition
to % home rule bills.
F. Elwood Davis. represent
ing the Washington Board of
Trade, opposed home rule on
grounds that the annual Fed
eral payment would be lost to
a District governed locally. He
also criticized provisions Of the
territorial bill allowing resi-
dents to vote both in the Dis
trict and in their home States.
But he insisted that the
board wanted self-government
the kind of government
Congress could give the city
if some of its members were
elected by and responsible to
the local citizenry.
New Commission Urged
Earlier Representative Auch-
incloSs. Republican of New Jer-
sey and senior minority men,
Der of the House committee
urged favorable action on his
bill to create a new kind OF
commission government.
The Federal interest could
be maintained in the city if
the President nominated 10
candidates, five of whom would
be elected to the ruling COM
mission by District residents
according to Mr.. Auchincloss
He said Congress would not
surrender any of it's ultimate
power over the District. But
he advised against a non-votine
delegate to the House because
it would cause conflict of au-
thority."
Subcommittee Charm a n
Davis, Democrat of Georgia
questioned the prudence of the
President nominating candi-
dates for reelection. The peo-
| pie could want a commissioner
to stay in Office, but the Presi-
dent could be of different po-
litical persuasion, he noted.
Petitions and pressures could
be taken to the White House,
Mr.. AuchincloSs said, but ad-
mitted the nominees no doubt
would be of the same party as
the President regardless OF
popular demand.
Offers Payment Formula
The Congressman wrote a
Federal payment formula into
his bill-50 per cent of property
tax collections, with a ceiling
of $50 million and a floor OF
$40 million. This would amount
to 1924 million annually now
compared to $25 million grant
ed this year by Congress.
IT am not certain whether
the Federal payment is GER
name to this BILL" Mr.. Auchin-
Gloss said. 1T might be wiser
to introduce separate legisla-
tion."
But he stressed that the Dis
trict would benefit greatly il
the Federal payment could be

amended, the bill would leave
it to aggrieved union members
to file their own suits to pre-
vent infringement of rights.
Another amendment adopted
by voice vote reduced criminal
penalties against union Off
Gals who use force or intimi-
dalton to violate the rights of
members. The penalty was
cut from a $4,000 fine and or
two years Imprisonment to a
$1,000 fine and/or one year
Imprisonment.
The House rejected, 1919,
a proposal to exempt the
railroad and airline industries
from the bill. Representative
Harris, Democrat of Arkansas,
who sponsored the amendment
said these industries are COW
cred by the Railroad Labor Act
while other industries are un-
der the ft-Hartley Act.

Interests of the Capital" he
said.
History has discredited at
tempts to separate local and
national interests. he asserted,
He said Washington suffered
through 10 years Of mis-
named" home rule in the lS00s
before Congress assumed re-
sponsibility for exclusive legis-
lative power conferred by the
Constitution.
1t was under Congress, he
said, that the city was trans
formed from an overgrown viii
lage Of unpaved streets. Into
one Of the most lovely cities OF
the world"
Home rule today would en-
danger development Of Wash
ington as a fitting Capital. and
would handicap new under
takings demanded in this hub
of one Of the most rapidly de-
veloping metropolitan areas Of
the country, he added.
He claimed the territorial bill
would re-establish the kind Of
government an angry Congress
abolished in 1874 because 1t
did not work."
IF this misguided effort is
identified as awakened LIBERAL
ism, such liberalism is plainly
the victim Of mistaken iden-
tity," he told subcommittee
members. Actually this bill is
highly reactionary."
Mayor Council Hit
The mayor council bill would
be even less effective, he argued,
because it would set up a gov
eminent completely controlled
locally and more quickly en-
danger the Federal interests.
Mr.. McKelway said it was all
too reasonable to believe that
Congress, once a local govern
ment was set up, would say, in
effect, ok, friends. that is
what you asked for. Now that
you have it, go roll your own
hoop"
THE unique characteristics
of this city, including its lin
tied economic resources. should
convince anybody that under
home rule a locally elected city
government could not roll its
own hoop and would fail miser-
ably in the attempt" he said.
He testified that it was moth
ing less than fantastic" to be-
lieve Congress would continue
an annual Federal payment of
$25 million. granted this year.
if a local council or assembly
could spend 1t as it saw At.
No Failure of People
The failure Of home rule
would not mean people Of this
city are incapable of governing
themselves. he stressed. The
hazards of home rule lie not in
the ability Of local voters but
in the nature Of the city, he
emphasized.
He reminded subcommittee
members that Washington was
completely dependent, econom-
ically and politically, on the
national government in a city
where government is the chief
industry.
He called on Washingtonians
to adopt the "praiseworthy If
misguided determination of the
small group Of home rule adj
vocates" and enlist support for
the votes that count-votes for
Representatives and Senators,
for a President and Vice Pres
ident responsible to new con-
stituents in the District Of CO.

mood after the vote. Un-
like other hackers of the
Landrum-G Griffin bill, he said
he was not surprised by the
size of the victory. I've been
bullish." he said, adding that
II got some assurances Wednes-
day night that satisfied me-"
Barden Confident
AS for prospects of winning
in conference, he was supreme
ly confident. Now that the
foam's blown of, the conferees
can settle down to get a good
BILL" he said. implying that
Senator Kennedy and his allies
can be more flexible in pri-
vate than in public statements.
But Senator Kennedy was
unable to cite any areas of pos
sible compromise on the boy
colt and picketing issues, which
he called the quits" of the Lam
drum Griffin bill.
Representative Landrum
called the House vote "a great
day for America and a great
day for the unions in America. "
Representative Griffin was
optimistic about achieving an
agreement in conference be-
cause I'VE want a bill, they (the
SenatorS) want a bill and the
American people want a bill"
He dismissed talk of a dead
lock as Gust so much propa-
ganda."
McClellan's Reaction
Senator Mcclellan, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, called the
House vote a defeat for James
R. Hoffa. president Of the
Transfers, and "a victory for
decency and integrity in the
labor movement, for the rights
of the rank-and-f1le member
ship, and for the public at
large" He is chairman of the
Senate Rackets Committee and
was credited with swinging
crucial votes to the Landrum-
Griffith bill.
Representative Udall, Demo-
crat of Arizona. who led the
fight for the Elliott bill, COM
mented forlornly that I'VE just
didn't have the votes, what else
can you say"
Shortly before yesterdays
dramatic vote, House Demo-
cratic Leader Mccormack
charged angrily that Attorney
General Summerfield were
exerting undue pressure on I'M
committed Republicans.
Lobbyists Swarm
Business and labor lobbyists
have been swarming over Cap
itol Hill for weeks, and mem
berH of the House have received
more mail on labor reform than
on any other issue in years.
On yesterdays vote, IS Dem
ocrats-all but three of them
from the South or border States
Joined 1874 Republicans in
backing the Landrum- Griffin
DILL. Only II Republicans broke
away from the party leadership
to vote with 1874 Democrats
against the bill.
One of the five absentees
who did not vote was Repre-
sentative Elliott, sponsor of the
compromise bill, who is re-
operating from surgery in Be-
theSda Naval Hospital.
Before the key vote, the
! House approved two amend
! ments to soften the Landrum-
Griffin bill slightly, and thus
: perhaps swung a few uncom-
mitted members.
