Fencing Foil,

There hasn't been an honest

disputes on the field Of honor
at Bladensburg many years ago.
But the old custom was near

roomer with a fencing foil and
his landlady with a butcher
knife. according to testimony In
Municipal Court yesterday.
Judge Dewitt s. Hyde was
shown the rusty, guardless foil

Woods. 80. guilty Of making
threats and disorderly conduct,

her around the house with the
foil when she demurred.
Mrs. Smallwood said Woods

Woods denied the charges
He said the money was a baby

Unlike the Democrats who
control the White House and
Congress, the Republicans
found contributions hard to
come by in the non-election
year Of 1861.
Democrats Cheerful
Chairman John M. Bailey re-
ported recently that the Demo-
Gratis had raised SAL million
for all their committees this
year. Treasurer Matthew H.
McCloskey has predicted the
party will catch up with its
deficit by mid-19e2. The party
hopes to raise $500,000 at a
January 20 inaugural anniver-
sary dinner at which President
Kennedy will speak.
There has been no compar-
able optimistic reports from the
Republicans. They picked up
about $500, 900 for their Senate
and House Campaign Commit
tees with q Washington dinner
last June at which Gen. Eisen-
hover spoke.
But the House Campaign
Committee, which has poured
some money into special con-
gressional elections, is reported
almost broke and the Senate
committee is down to It's last
$4,000.
The national committee,
meanwhile, has only been
treading water financially, with
its deficit bouncing around at
about 5000, 1000. Most of this was
inherited from Mr.. Nixon's un-
successful bid for the presi-
dency in 1860.
GrumbIing Heard
There has been a bit of grum-
bling within the regular Re-
publican ranks that Mr.. Nixon
and his campaign advisers ran
up bills and politely deposited
them on the national commit
tees doorstep when the election
was over and when they dis
solved as a team.
This grumbling has been ac-
cented lately by reports that
some of Mr.. Nixon's friends
have been calling on gilt-edged
sources of Republican contribu-
tions all over the country for
funds to help the former Vice
President in his Forthcoming
attempt to win the governor
ship Of California. This appar-
emily had tended to dry UP
some of the contributions that
might otherwise have gone to
the national committee.

When Ross sat up in the sand
he was not surprised to find

sense of responsibility they en-
barked for Rendova Harbor

Some six years ago a movie
called Rock Around the Clock"
was loosed upon the public to
take advantage of a craze for
a new musical art form called
rock 'n'-roll. Critics conditioned
by a comparatively sane world
decided this had to be a pass
ing fad, proving either (a) how
wrong critics can be. or (b)
how stubborn children can be.
So now comes a sequel to
that one. titled not "Son Of

This one is dedicated to a cur

this must be just a passing ju-
venile fad, but a burned critic
nursing six years of rock-'n'-
roll wounds can only shudder.
Six years of The Twist will
have us known around the

that it is full of natural pauses
into which the formula always
inserts a style show. Hunters

ems audience and these glossy
fashion inserts. now sung and
danced, may be to divert at
tention from the established
pattern.
After all, fashions do change.
However, as to Flower Drum

POtentialities
For many years Miss Burns
was in charge Of training
new talent at MGM. She was
very enthusiastic about q
young girl who had come to
Hollywood from q farm.
II was so impressed with
Donna Reeds potentialities
that I worked with her for
two months before she was
tested. Donna couldn't af-
ford o car and with the poor
transportation, she had to
leave home at Z am. to
reach the studio by 0. But

not neat and fresh, though
most Of the time she was
wearing the same blouse and
skirt.

that the fashion dictators to-
day keep women from look
