"The best in the nation?" some

"The BEST" Williams avowed

diction that Senator Kennedy

going to Adlai Stevenson "un-

Peter Crotty Of Erie County

Representative Charles

leader whose $100-a-plate din

the audience he had served
with Senator Kennedy in Con-

ley, somewhat surprisingly, de-
clared that his allegiance to
Senator Kennedy began only
four months ago, when his
private poll of Bronx Demo-
Gratis showed him to be their

he promised to deliver every

Everyone loses if cotton is
mt planted on all available ac-
res declares M. S. Shaw, as
Sociate director of the Agri-
cultural Extention Service.
April l is the deadline for
farmers to release allotted ac-
res that they do not wish to
plant. Do this in writing at the
iocalASC office.
Giving someone else the
chance to plant acres that YOU
release may very easily mean
more money in your pocket"
Mr.. Shaw says. More Cotton
harvested means more money
passing through local trade
channels. If you are a farmer
with a job in town, you'll pro-
oably get your share of increa-
sed local prosperity"
The farmer releasing cotton
acres usually has everything to
gain and nothing to lose. He
will not lose acreage for his
cory purposes as long as the
combination of what he plants
releases or has in the Conser,
walton Reserve totals rs per-
cent or more of his regular
or Choice A allotment. However
ne must plant a measurable
acreage, at least one-tenth OF
an acre, once in three years
% keep up his allotment.
This year a county will not
lose history by releasing to the
State ASC Committee acres ir
excess of what farmers want to
plant.
1T will pay us in the lone
run TO plant every acre of cot
ton available to Miss, Mr..
Shaw stresses. Anything less
viii count against US and bring
reduced allotments a few years
from now. Less acreage viii
mean less money at the end Of
the year."
Mississippi lost about SIS, 900
600 last year by failing to plant
167 ,604 available cotton acres
On the other hand, the increa.
Sc over 1858 accounted for $129,.
422, 600. The total value of the
1859 crop. both lint and cot
tonseed, was $3.50, 914, 600. Ir
addition, many businesses ser
wing cotton farmers turned
much more money into the
general economy during 1859.

ming of that years convention.
Mr.. Donald was a wonder
full man." Miss Good recalled
the other day. II really loved
him. He talked to me for
hours. Whenever he thought
OF something he would tell
me about it right then"
Before she even started to
work she read completely
through the convention pro-
ceedings for 1914, 1948 and
1852. Her first month on the
job was spent poring over
tfleS Of the 80 convention.
"You think you know about
it, until you start reading"
she said. You have no con-
ception Of planning until you
get into it. There are so
many things-tickets, badges,
rules, transportation, dele
gates, seating, alloting tick
cts, Office space, equipment,
how convention officials are
selected, balloting, all sorts of
printing to order"
Events proved Mr.. Donald
must have been a wonderful
teacher" 10 Good believes.
At the 1856 convention,
in San Francisco, which Mr..
Donald was not we'll enough
to attend, nothing came up
that I did not feel equipped
to handle" she said.
She did get an occasional
telephone assist from Mr..
Donald from 5000 miles
away. "He watched every
minute on television. Occa-
sionally he would call and
say, Don't forget this and
this" she said.
On Her Own
This time Miss Good is on
her own. The fact that her
Office is calm and serene
speaks well for her talents
for organizing. These, and an
incredible ability for detail,
willingness to work around
the clock, plus a Photographic

get the job.

In one corner of the big,

1t is, Of all unlikely places,
the convention Office.
Like the eye of the hurri-
cane, this Office is a quiet
haven in the Swirling vortex
of planning for the G. o. P.
national convention, which
will open in Chicago July Is.
1t has been occupied with
getting the G. o. P. conven-
tion show on the road for the
past two years.
Presiding over the opera
ton is 10 Good, a tall, slim
30-ish blond who bears the

director of the Republican
National Convention.

He took her with him as a
confidential aide when he be-
came Postmaster General.
But when the national
committee wanted her back

her way" Mr.. Summerheld
explained the other day.
A Typical Day
How do things look for the

eight weeks from tomorrow?

have to-" Miss Good says.

Beverly Haynes Presented

Miss Beverley Ann Haynes,
the tall, blue-eyed daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Marvin
Haynes, was presented to So
ciety yesterday at a tea in
her parents home. Court
land Farm, in Aldie, Va.
Beverley was celebrating
her 18th birthday.
The brunette debutante
stood with her mother to
receive the guests, most of
them longtime friends of
the HayneseS. Mrs. Haynes
made her own debut here.
Beverley was dressed in a
short, simple gown with a
blue linen bodice and white
organdy skirt embroidered in
blue. She carried a bouquet
of blue delphinum, white
stephanotis and little green
ivy.
Her godmother, Mrs. Alvin
R. Jennings, and Mrs. Jen-
nings' mother, Mrs. William
T. Foster, came from Lew
elyn Park, N. j., to attend
the 5-to-7 o'clock party.
Beverley was graduated
last week from Holton-Arms
School. President of her
class, she won the Alumnae
Prize for school spirit, lead
ership and character. The
recipient of this award is
traditionally chosen by a
secret vote of the graduating
class.
In the fall Beverley will en-
ter the University of North
Carolina School of Nursing.
She will be presented again
next Christmas. at a dance

viewed was somewhat typical.
A man from a printing firm
came to confer about conven-
ton tickets. Miss Good ex-
amined several sample books,
feeling the sheets to deter
mine the thickness. She A.
nally settled on one and ten
tatively ordered it in six COL
ors (for different days and
different parts of the big In
ternational Ahphitheater).
Before she made the order
final, she said she would like
Ito have someone pull a
ticket in and out of his pocket
so times to see how it holds
up"
Then someone from an
other Office came in to check
Evening star., 1960-06-05

the date of a States primary.
Miss Good found it promptly.
Senator Thruston Morton
of Kentucky, G. o. P. national
chairman, called from his
Senate Office to check a de-
tail.
A long distance call came
from a Middlewesterner who
simply had" to have q ticket
to the convention.
A letter arrived from a
man who was convinced he
was the person to deliver
the convention keynote ad-
dress. He attached his pro-
posed manuscript-12 pages
handwritten and putarized.
There also was a letter
from a lady who knew Just
the perfect singer to keep the
delegates entertained during
dull moments. He was, alas,
going to be making a movie
in Europe during convention
week. But she was sure the
Air Force would be glad to
deliver him to the convention
by jet plane.
So far, Miss Good says, no
one has matched a 1856
suggestion to the committee
that some sort of filmy "cloud
effect" be suspended from
the ceiling of the convention
hall to increase the shows
visual appeal on television.
White Cats
In her personal life, for
which she obviously doesn't
have much time these days,
10 Good likes white Persian
cats, classical music, specta-
tor sports and fiddling
around with power tools"
Her interest in the latter
is specialized. She is not a
woodworker, but is interested
only in electronic work -
putting together radios, hi
ifs and the like.
This is just as we'll, she
says, because she lives in an
apartment, where big wood
working power tools would
pose somewhat Of a space
problem.
"You don't need many
tools for electronic work." she
says. "All I have is a drill,
soldering iron, wire cutters,
pliers and a screw driver"
she says knowledgably.
A native of Colorado, she
came to Washington in the
40s, working first as a secre-
tary at the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Dur
ing the war she headed the
stenographic pool at the
Office of Price Administra-
ton for a while, then en-
listed in the Coast Guard as
a SPAR.
After the war she worked
in the Office of various Con-
greSsmen, chiefly from Indi-
ana, and including, briefly,
two Democrats.

A First for Miss Good
She'll Run the Republican Convention

time a woman has run the

party.
Miss Good was picked for
the job when the late Will
liam Donald, who had been
running G. o. P. conventions
for 80 years, began to fail in
health early in 1856.
Mr.. Donald suggested to
Leonard Hall, then G.. o. P.
chairman, that he find a re-
placement, with whom Mr..
Donald could work through
the 1856 convention.
MultitudinOuS Problems
Much of the invaluable
convention lore was stored
only in Mr.. Donald's head.
Between March and August
Of that year he passed along
everything he could think of
to Miss Good, dealing with
the multitudinouS problems
as they came up in the plan
