A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED hayride was —— op and 1 excited, It's been a long time since I've been on one of those hay festivals, The sun peeked out for an instant in the western sky. Bill Long and Dave Mote of the Indianapolis Saddle club, who were hooking up the two horses to the wagon, observed that “It probably won't rain.” Just as the men were piling the hay on the wagon several cars pulled 0p, - There was no. mistake that the sub-deb clubs, Plaids and Coleens of Howe high school and their dates have arrived for the early evening ride and wiener roast. “Look--real horses,” one plaid-shirted ‘teen-ager called,
Speak in Native Tongue
THERE FOLLOWED a round of @®bservations which only a teen-ager could understand. The office phone rang, ‘A loud chorus came in the direction of Bill “The Ameche is ringing With some deductive Sih I figured out that they meant the phone and promptly asked Bill if that expression was the latest thing for “phone.” “No—that's an old. handle for telephone. Say,
you're not up on the latest jive talk,” the youthful proprietor of the club remarked. No, I wasn't, “Everybody on the wagon,” called Bill. Twentytwo spirited youths made a beeline for the rack.
BEFORE THE RAINS CAME—AM is well and Clarence Myers, stable manager, loads the wagon with fresh, dry hay for a hayride.
Gentleman Jim
WASHINGTON, May 20.—James Boyle is a fat young man from Brooklyn, with a black, tooth-brush mustache, an excitable manner, and a cigar that erupts sparks. He doesn't look like a gangster. He fsn't a gangster. Anybody who says so is a no-good bum. And if he goes calling with a friend who totes a the latter refrains from brandishing it under the noses of the guests at New York’s Hampshire House on Central park. This information is official. It is sworn testimony by Gentleman Jim himself, who hurried here to deny before the senatorial] small business committee that he'd ever tried to buy gray-market steel at pistol point. His" testimony left the senators goggle-eyed. Talk about a man with troubles and you're talking about Gentleman Jim, the proprietor of the United Nations Trading Co. of Brooklyn's Montague street.
Swore He Was Mobster LAST WEEK a Pittsburgh steel broker, E A. Kerschbaumer, testified under oath that Mr. Boyle and two pistol-packing pals burst into his suite at thé Hampshire house, urleashed their artillery, and said give ‘em steel—or else. Mr. Kerschbaumer swore that Mr. Boyle was a Jersey mobster and that his pals were gangsters. He said that a Chicago steel broker, L. C. Durham, fortunately was husky enough to disarm them. So all right. That same night—I mean the night of Mr. Kodi baumer’s jtestimony here—Boyle was attending a society soiree in Brooklyn. Everybody was eating chicken served in ruffied paper pants. Somebody rushed in with a newspaper. “you can imagine my embarrassment,” Mr. Boyle testified. “With several hundred people there, and I knew them well, al] looking at this newspaper.” He said he meant the New York World-Telegram, a Soripps-Howard newspaper. It contained a dispatch
Wax Dollies
HOLLYWOOD, May '29.—“Silver bells and cockle
ghells, and pretty maids all in & row.” That's just what we have in Hollywood today. You constantly hear that beauty doesn't mean a thing in Hollywood—just talent, But in spite of this, the motion picture studios continue to sign ene gold-plated Ingersoll after another, They all look alike, It's Ynanufactured glamor, set to a pattern, with “ few exceptions allowed. You could stand 35 of the upper bracket feminine stars in a chorus line, stand back 50 feet and not be able to tell them apart. I have a calendar on my desk with seven of the younger stars’ photographs. I have to look at the names to be able to make any distinction between them. The color of the hair makes no difference, because they change that overnight, Frankly, I think people are getting tired of going to theaters and seeing these pretty maids all in a row like a feature flower bed.
Ingrid's ‘a ‘Natural
THEY ALL FIT the pattern. They've been given a standard glamor treatment by some Hollywood make-up man. All character has peefl wiped out or plugged up and a new face painted on.” Just so many wax dolls to parade in front of the camera. But what makes me laugh at this copy-cat beauty treatment is that when the studios turn aroumd and ' eontradict themselves once in a while, they get a
big star.

Absolute rigidity, I learned by experience, was the best insurance against that wet, soggy feeling. The ride back seemed twice as long. Spirits were low. The rain slowly was extinguishing every spark of enthusiasm.» The quiet was broken only by an occasional shriek when someone discovered how wet he was. When the stable came in sight the wagon grew lighter by about 15 persons. There was a rush of humanity past the horses. - Dale (Pappy) Long met us at the stable door.

By Frederick C. Othman
by a fellow down in Washington, name of Othman, describing Mr. Kerschbaumer’s emotions when confronted by nickle-plated shooting irons. It was a good story (adv.), Mr. Boyle testified, but. it quoted a bum, who also was no good and—he et ‘bly psychopathic. Gentleman Jim ran outside and got in his car and there was the radio, blaring about him being a
gangster... . : “And then the phone calls,” he moaned. “I must have got 500 of ’em. I was thinking about having the phone ripped out and that wasn't’ all.” The United Nations—the one that runs the world —was worried about Mr. Boyle's United Nations Co., and announced there was no connection between the two. That brought on more phone calls and Mr. Boyle said he got on the phone himself, and talked to this Othman in Washington. “He said it' was true apd that’s why I asked to |? testify,” Gentleman Jim added.
Nobody Pulled a Gun
HE SAID he'd ordered some steel from Mr. Kerschbaumer, all right, and he dropped by the Hampshire house with the Messrs. Robert Wyder and Paul Sponberg to see why it hadn't been delivered. Nobody pulled any guns. “But did anybody have a gun?” insisted Committee Counsel Ray Dickey. - Well, said Mr. Boyle, Mr. Wyder did have a small one in his pocket, but he didn’t wave it under anybody nose. If Mr. Durham hadn't searched him, nobody would have known. Subsequent testimony by Mr. Durham indicated that the shooting iron was a .32 caliber, pearlhandled Colt revolver. And I hope this takes care of the confusion that grew in Brooklyn. My good friend Othman is all caught up with being a subject of his own news dispatches. Makes ‘em too hard to write. ®

Vote $475 Million Army Fund ‘Slash
WASHINGTON, May 2 (U.P.) — The house appropriations committee today voted a reduction of $475 milion—or 23, per cent—in- funds requested by the war department for the fiscal year starting July 1. The amount recommended by the committee for the army and war department, exclusive of civil functions, was $5,240,982,423. This compared with President Truman's request of $5,716,791,500 and this year’s appropriations of $7,263,542,400. Secretary of War Robert P. Paterson told the committee the reduction would impair the effectiveness of the army and weaken the foreign occupation programs. The committee, however, said the proposed budget would adequately support an army of 1,070,000 officers and men, the maximum provided by law. Demanding greater efficiency in the war department, the committee said in its- report that its action would lop 94,631 persons off war department ayrolls at a saving of $293.6.
43 Million Put Back In Farm Fund Bill
The house passed a bill appropriating $848,001,976 for the operations of the agriculture department for the fiscal year beginning July 1. This is 28 per cent below President Truman's budget estimates, but $43 million more than the figure recommended by the house appro-| priations committee. The bill was approved 315-38. The largest amount put back into the agriculture bill was $40 million in funs to encourage domestic and foreign consumption of surplus farm commodities. - The rest of the increase was added to the research and marketing program. Proposed increases for soil conservation, rural electrification and school lunches were rejected by close™votes after sharp debate. The vote against restoring $25 million for farm tenant loans was 120 ‘to 94. This program is ad tered by the farm home adr 5 tration,
