Boys Finally Rounded Up ROBERT RICHEY, master of ceremonies, called several times to Mr. Harmon to sit down because a banquet hall was no place for “broken field running.” The Marion County boys were finally rounded up and seated In front of their turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, peas and carrots ahd tomato juice. Except for an occasional “Ummm” there wasn't much talking until the plates weres clean. The decorum that was so pronounced at the outset was disappearing fast.

Who's Ss Next?
NEW YORK, Jan. 15--Has anybody seen Howard Hughes lately? The only reason I ask 3 that Howard was the man we started out to investigate before this chainreaction set in. Something about big fat contracts from the government to build airplanes. Then along came Johnny Meyers ‘and all his expense accounts. Somehow Elliott Roosevelt and a passel of blonds crept into the picture and suddenly there was Johnny's paternity case with the hatcheck girl, Then, lo and behold, Howard started to bite Senator Brewster, who fled shrieking that somebody pulled & gun on him. Then Howard took- his hyperthyroid plane off and the gawky thing actually flew, probably surprising Howard as much: as anybody else. Howard came back to Washington and while they were hollering two million, 10 million, 20 mils lion, in walked Ma). Gen. Bennett E. Meyers with his own little roadshow. Things got a touch hysterical then. Seems to me that the general wasn't doing too badly until his employee, Bleriot Lamgrre, came down with a hard fit of honesty and started hollering that he and the general had cooked up a story which was a real oldfashioned lie, to fool the inquisitors in the Ferguson Committee,

=Gay Vaudeville To Be Bovived
Robert ‘Amick, 4-H Club yptas from Purdue Uni--versity, concurred with Mr. Richey that this was no| time for long-winded speeches about how deep the. boys plowed and how much fertilizer they used. And Mr. Amick was the “principal” speaker of the evening. Just about the time the last bit of ice cream and cake was disappearing from the plates, Mr. Richey made his announcement that he widsn't going to make a long speech. No one was. APPLAUSE. Short and fast introductions were nmde. Then the winners began to step up for their awards. Max Noblitt of Johnson County, with a 17-ton yield per acre, took his goid watch with a shy grin. “What in the dickens did you do to get such a yield?" asked Mr. Richey. * “Just planted them,” was the reply. In rapid succession, other first place winners came to the front. Albert Headrick, Hendricks? County; Joe Taylor, Morgan County; Verle Chappel,| §
didn’t waste any time at the head-of the table either. Second place winners pocketed gold pén and pencil sets. Not one boy wanted to go into the secrets of his yield. Third place winners, who received a fountain pen, just about.brought the presentations to a close.
Delivered a Great Speech MR. AMICK WAS introduced and spoke . for exactly three minutes. A great speech. He told of Mark G. McKinney, a 16-year-old boy from Clinton County who was selected as the state champion. My. Amick also mentioned that Mark, in his nine Yeats) of 4-H activity, grpssed $25,000. Mr. Richey shussed me and said I was too old tol get into the 4-H Club. I was ready to join and start planting anything. Even winter wheat. As Mr. Amick was going down in his chair, Mr. Richey was coming up and asking: “Is everyone all set to go to the basketball game?” “YES.” The answer was loud and clear, “The busses are ready,” called Mr. Richey. So were the 4-H boys. The Kautskys could have used , Some of the speed and drive displayed in the banquet “hall later on in the SVENING.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-—-Lordy, lordy. Looks as though the White House physi¢ian had basses stick to his appendixes. “He's not stupid about those. He only- gets mixed -up-when-he- trades -in-.commaodities. Good lordy. I don't believe I ever saw a brigadier general as embarrassed as, Wallace Harry Graham, President Truman's physician, when the Sehate hauled him in to stutter out the details of his profitable adventures in the never-never land of the Chicago wheat pit. He wag plump and he was pink. His jacket with . the battle stripes on the left chest and the gold rope on the right shoulder was a little too tight; his words a little too hesitant. He didn't know the” difference: between a lard can ands breakfast food box when he:plunged 30,000 bushels worth in wheat. On margin? “Lordy,” exclaimed the general. What. is a commodity, anyhow, he asked—a stock? And you can’t call cotton a commodity can you? Sen, Homer Ferguson of Michigan, chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Speculation sought to enlighten him on these details and. Gen. Graham said, lordy, thanks. for the information. It turned out that while the general was slipping the President aspirins for colds and patching up ‘the wounds of those correspondents who skidded in their regular dashes from the presidential press Sontererces, he also was one of those Wall Street lambs. - When it looked like the wolves were about to clean. him on a"stock known as Crown Drug Preferred, he salvaged $5000, slipped it to a customer's man in gold eyeglasses, and told him to use his own judgment.
Didn't Consider Self Gambler BY THE TIME President Truman announced that grain - speculators were gamblers in human misery, the geheral's $5000 had turned into-$11,000. Gen. Graham said he read the boss’ statement, but he didr's consider himself a gambler. Not then, he Quah Ben. Ferguson wondered when this idea struck im,

Doris insists there's no romance with Jack-Carson. She still hasn't filed suit for divorce against her estranged husband, musician George Weidler, brother of Virginia Weidler, the ex-kid star. ’
