There's an element of COMPETE
ton but there's also a deeper
stratum of respect. The
only observable lulls occurred
whenever one of them employ
ed a communal line or a bit
ahead Of the other.
The encounter was brilliantly
set up, you'd have to say.
Earlier that same night,
Lewis was playing a memory
retention game with Hugh
Downs, which must be listed as
about the dullest half-hour on
TV since Jackie GleaSon'S un-
lamanted panel show.
We were willing to concede
the point early. But Lewis,
who is great at Social Security
numbers, persisted in proving
and reproving the point. We
kept wishing. wistfully, that
Mr.. Lewis's ability to retain a
few facts and figures had been
adaptable last week to the
briefing on the Supreme Court
decision provided him by one
of his Tonight aides.
He admitted that he didn't
have time to really look it over
and that. of course, should
have been the signal for him
to withdraw from any discus
sion with guests Ed Sullivan
and George JesSel and serve as
moderator. Ability to speak to
the point, however, has never
deferred the principals on any
late night conversation show
I've ever heard and before long.
Lewis was suggesting that the
Supreme Courts decision was
due to ENVY" of the President.
I've been trying to forget the
exact words, but it was to the
effect that they had decided
ito smack him in the mouth"
I kid you not. 1t was a little

perspective is limited and the

is a funny man, a veritable

but that isn't enough. He wants
to establish himself as Rem

host, philosopher, wit, electron-

Proper Kind Of Control

Senator John l.. Mcclellan, of
Arkansas, is doing a valiant job
with his Senate Rackets committee
in showing the abuses by labor
union. In the December issue of
Readers Digest he discusses some
OF the things he has discovered
under the title These Labor
Abuses Must Be Curbed."
He is proposing one bill, S 2573,
to amend antitrust laws which he
said would prohibit any union
acting in concert with another
union or an employer from calling
strike involving interstate trans
portation if the effect would sub
stantially be to restrain interstate
commerce"
Another law proposed is S 1881
which is designed to prohibit
strikes in certain strategic defense
facilities and provide for what ap-
pears to be a type Of compulsory
arbitration
Sen. Mcclellan also suggests an
other laW-nOt designated by num-
ber-to expand the Landrum-Grif-
fin Act prohibitions against crimi-
nails holding union office.
While most folks who are con
dous amount of work off the other

"Two I'm offered Once.
Twice" The auctioneer gave the
box a brief glance, swung his
gavel, and barked "Sold!"
What a steal! thought Joe: 1900
slugs, safe and sound in exchange
for a mere deucer!
Twenty minutes later he had
locked himself in room at the
Hotel Fremont. He pried open the
box. First came a sweater, a few
books and a shirt; these were fol-
lowed by some old ties and a
black hat. And then from its nest
of wadded paper came the tin
box.
Joe prepared to fit a key into
the lock. But at the mere touch
the lid opened.
A stricken Joe stared at the
balls OF crumpled newspaper
which tightly packed the box. On
top was a crudely scrawled note.
With sick eyes, Joe read:
