THAT'S’ ALL, BROTHER—Larry Crim (upright) lends a. helping hand to a nipped-in-the-bud daredevil. —Bob passed me like a scared jackrabbit. I began to feel like one. It suddenly occurred to me that there were an awful lot of splinters in those grahdstands that lined the asphalt track. I watched the oil pressure as it built up to 80 pounds. It took three whirls around the track at 25 m.p.h, to build it up. The Ofty was ready to be kicked around. ‘ Larry's repeated words about how touchy the accelerator was burned brightly under the crash helmet. I hugged the wooden guard rail. Bob was passing me too often and too fast. A quick guess at the number of splinters in the grandstands was in the billions, I gave my pit crew (Larry) the nod that I was ready to givé the Offy the gun. He put his hands over his eyes. Something told me to take a few more practice laps.

Hark, the Herald Angels Sing

ON THE STRETCH I touched the accelerator ever 80 lightly just as I was instructed. The seat hit me in the back a. terrific wallop. The Offy shot forward as if it had been catapulted. The safety belt across my thighs seemed to stretch. Suddenly I was thinking of splinters in the trillions. + How that Offy ever came out of the turn, I'll never know. How Bob got past me, I'll never know. How Larry withstood those few seconds without a. stroke, I'll never know. The midget just went crazy. Larry waved everything but the retaining fence at me. Bob pulled into the pit area with tires screaming. ‘My legs went dead. The daredevil in me began to simmer. The fraidycat in me punched the kill button. The man who invented brakes should get a medal for achievement. The beserk Offy stopped dead on the west stretch. 4 od Bob and Larry pushed the car and me into the pits. THAT was a nice ride. Funny thing, I couldnt get out of the car. Something was wrong with my chassis, Larry, good ol’ Larry, hauled me out of the seat. The concrete felt good. Isn't it great to be alive even if you're not kicking?

Leaning, when a senator is filibustering, seems to be against the rules. He's got to stand up straight and suffer, or take a chance of losing the floor. Senator Morse suffered and while he did so, his whiskers kept growing. His skin was sallow in the first place; by the 10th hour it looked dark blue. It was no bluer than his listeners felt. The oratorical horrors which I am describing took place Saturday. Sunday the senators got not too much chance to sleep because of phone calls from gents who wanted to high-pressure ‘em one way or the other.

“43 Hard. for Everybody WHAT I'M DRIVING at in my own awkward way is that it's as rough to listen to a filibuster, as to be one, The gentlemen who had to hear the talkathons of the Messrs. Taylor, Morse, James E. Murray of Montana, and others, in the main are elderly. It is difficult for them to sleep sitting up, particularly when somebody is shouting at ‘em. So it was that they: rose today with joints a-creak and eyes lined red; with mouths tasting dry as the reading clerk’s journal and ears buzzing with oratory like a busted phonograph record. ‘They tottered toward their sanctum, where the air-cooling system inevitably gives up the struggle against the human generators of super-heated hot air. ¢ If they uphold the President, according to one group of arm wavers, the results will be horrid. If they defy him, according to the other, America no longer will be a fit place to live. My guess'is that effect of the vote, important though it is, will be somewhere in between, but I'm not worrying about that. I'm fearful that the legislators won't last until 3 p. m, or, in the case of the old-fashioned gentleman from Louisiana, until 2.

NO MATTER how they cut it, “Arch of Triumph” still comes out two hours and 35 minutes. The Enterprise brains are huddling on what to do. Hazel Brooks, who just completed “Body and Soul,” probably will be the doll over whom. D. Ameche tries to murder Claudette Colbert in “Sleep, My Love.” John Garfield and his wife are thinking seriously about moving permanently to New York. John would commute to Hollywood for his film roles. The title, “Scudda Ho, Scudda Hay,” is back with us. But Fox will release a trailer starring Lon McCallister in which he explains it's mule language for “giddap” and “whoa.” ’ Frank Capra tells me hell film “State of the Union” practically word for word from ‘the stage script.

New Pil 60 Ties As Sweet as Sugar

Has No After-Taste, Distributors Say

By PAUL F. ELLIS ENGLEWOOD, N. J. June 23. (U. P)—A new type “sugar” pill that contains no sugar but is 600 times sweeter than sugar was demonstrated here today. It is made by mixing dulcin, a non-nutritive sweetening agent, and saccharin, which long has been used by diabetics and persons wishing to reduce without giving up sweetening in their tea or coffee. No After-Taste ) Saccharin, however, leaves a bitter taste if used in any large quantity. { The new combination of dulcin and saccharin is called dulsac and leaves no after-taste, according to distributors. The new powder will be made into small pellets for commercial purposes. The distributors, the Strathmore Products Co., said one of the small pills is equivalent in sweetening effect to two teaspoonsful of sugar. The pill has no caloric or nutritive value, It's purpose merely is
