The
Rambler
Consorts
With Politicians
By GEORGE KENNEDY

- -
Several weeks ago the
Gambler attended a party at
which all the highest officials
Of the United States Govern
ment-with the exception Of
the President = were auc-
toned off.
None Of them were present.
But the confidence of the
bidders was amazing.
Vice President Nixon was
knocked down for $40. Bid
ding seemed to follow posi-
tions Of power. Thus Gen.
Persons Of the White House
brought a higher bid than
cabinet members.
The successful bidder won.
The privilege of asking the
distinguished statesm IN
whose name had been placed
on the auction block TO be his
guest at the Sigma Delta Chi
breakfast which is served at
8 am. on a Saturday morning
at the end of the annual
meeting Of the American So
ciety of Newspaper Editors.
Tickets to the breakfast are
81. The bonus from bidding
goes into the treasury.
Sigma Delta Chi is the
honorary fraternity of jour-
nalism. Membership is recog-
milton of a worthy contribu-
ton to the Fourth Estate.
Many of the editors who met
here last week are members.
The auction occurred at the
fraternity's dinner in March.
1t was rather remarkable.
THE MOST REMARKABLE
THING was that most of the
personages bid for were de-
livered at the breakfast which
was at the National Press
Club Saturday.
Nixon was there and so was
Fred Seaton, the Secretary of
the Interior, and William
Rogers, our Attorney Cen
eral, and Senator Fulbright,
the new head Of Foreign Re-
lation, and a lot of others.
Gerald Morgan of the White
House was there; Gen. Per-
sons was with the President
in Augusta.
The Rambler found himself
seated between Ward Duffy.
editor of the Hartford Times,
and Charles Frederick, a for
mer newspaperman now with
the FEC, who was his host.
The buffet breakfast was
ham and /or fresh pork sau-
sage, scrambled eggs with
home-fried potatoes and Tor
grits, corn bread and coffee.
Behind him were Vance
Hartke, the newly elected
Democratic Senator from In
diana, and Senator Kuchel of
California, the Republican
whip, and Senator Cooper,
Republican of Kentucky.
This was the first time
your correspondent had bro
ken bread with so many
names" of both parties. APP
parently that's the way to
get them. Ask them to an
8 am. breakfast. It's hard to
plead a previous engagement
unless an out-of-tow one.
There was much political
talk. Senator Hartke, a man
of medium height with dark
curly hair, was saying that
the Democrats were too con-
fident. He seemed to think
they were dangerously near
the situation of the Repub-
licans in 1948. Then the Re-
publicanS were sure they
were going to win because
the unbeatable opponent had
disappeared from the scene.
Even in my State" he
said Che is the first Democrat
to carry Indiana in years.,
men think that all they
have to do to win is to be
dominated

DEAR ABBY: I love my

My husband is a good pro-

a problem. He plays cards al
most every night--so he says.
But the men he says he
plays cards with say they
don't play with him. I am

to keep our home together

LAW IN THE NEWS
Confusion Can Rise
In New Will Droft

But the 1882 will can't be
found! Therefore, claim the
litigants, the estate should
be treated as if Mrs. Foulds
had died intestate without
any valid WILD. This would
mean that the distribution of
the estate would be governed
by statute of descent and go
to the litigants as next of
kin. ri .,
Their legal argument is
based on the principle that
revocation of a will may re-
five an earlier will. People
often change their minds.
particularly in such matters
as the choice of their bene-
f1ciaries. The problem the
courts have to decide is what
the testator really intended,
when, as in this instance,
there is. some difference of
opinion on the matter. -
People sometimes forget
they have a will and draw
up a second one. Usually the
most recent one will be recog-
nized. But it's a difficult
problem if they don't make
clear the relationship be-
tween the two wills. The Sec
ond will might conceivably
be intended as an addition
to the flrst-or, alternately,
it might be meant as a COM
plete replacement.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY e. E. EDGAR

Sabbath: The elder John
D. Rockefeller was a devout
man to whom the Sabbath
was sacred. In 1858, a few
years after oil came gushing
out Of the earth in Pennsyl-
vania, John D. started his
own refinery. He made fire.
quent trips to Franklin, Pa,
where he had a shipping
office, writes Hildegarde DOL
son in "The Great Oildorado."
"Mr. Rockefeller had one
old, shabby suit of clothes he
kept Just for visits to the oil
region and he'd even pitch
in and help load barrels. But
on the Sabbath he refused to
have anything to do with
business; he dressed up in
his non-oil suit and went to
church.
"One Sunday morning, as
he. was putting on his black
frock coat, one Of his en-
ployeS came in to tell him
the river was rising and
threatened to carry all their
loaded barrels away. All the
townsmen concerned with oil
business were already down
on the river banks helping
move the barrels to higher
ground. The man urged his
employer to hurry down
there.
Mr.. Rockefeller put on
his Sunday hat and said no,
he was going to church. What
really irritated the town was
that although plenty Of oil
was lost that day to the
rampaging river, not one
barrel of Mr.. Rockefeller's
oil was touched"
