Inside Indianapolis ¥ By Ed Sovola : 3 Soi wih
THE 87th General Assembly is expected to fold its tent next Monday. At midnight the ‘big show” will be over, So will the legislative monkeyshines. In two years the cast will be back for another 61 days. Before this troupe departs, I have a suggestion as a taxpayer. And perhaps Rep. Earl M. Utterback, Kokomo Democrat, again will say a few well-chosen words about the buffoonery in the legislature. Sometime before next Monday, I wish a legislator would rise and ask his colleagues to remember the cowboys and Indians, practical jokes, seminude man in a barrel gimmick, group singing,” vaudeville acts, horseplay and the continual effort on the part of some members to be bigger and better comedians, when they come back in 1953. I wish this legislator would ask those who return to immediately put through a resolution prohibiting all foolishness for the full 61 days of the General Assembly. 2% @
SIXTY-ONE days every two years isn’t a long time for the elected body to legislate as much as it can, as wisely as it can for the benefit of as many as possible. 3 The act that almost broke my back and made me feel like shouting to the gallery of students not to confuse me with me rs of the House of Representatives, was the dian-shooting-a-pistol routine. The Indians wereYart of a vaudeville show at the Lyric Theater. Before the Indians gave their gruesome performance, two cowboys sang and played the Wie Ag Waltz” and a couple of other hillbilly unes, Then the Indians came out dressed in bright costumes. The leader or chief of the other two men announced he was going to shoot a real #1-cqliber pistol at a block of wood placed direclly above the heart of a companion. The third man was to stand by and catch the target as it fell from shock. The marksman went to the rear of the chamber, the target braced himself against the speaker's rostrum, placed the block of narrow wood across his chest and closed his eyes. The gunman fired, the'victim dropped and was caught by the attendant before he hit the floor. * > BY WHAT stretch of imagination could anyone explain reason for such an abominable act taking place in the House of Representatives? What would the speaker of the House, W. O.

Tip to Lawmakers— Leave Comedy Out
Hughes, say to the puzzled high ool students in the gallery? Students who came to see democracy in action. What would the representative who introduced the group say to the embarrassed teacher who hadn’t planned on having his students witness a circus?
The entire show took 18 minutes. I'm glad the General Assembly isn’t planning on breaking the law by stopping the clock. At least that’s the plan right now.
Sen. Harold W. Handley, La Porte Republican, under the pretense of introducing a distinguished guest, brought in a half-clad man in a barrel representing the American taxpayer. Sen. Handley was at his bombastic worst leading the staging of this prank. What kind of a man with what kind of a perverted sense of humor would shoot a firecracker while legislation is being discussed? Children are punished for such antics in a classroom,

WHAT IS SO funny about a bottle of Hadacol or gargle being handed a man after he has spoken in a chamber where free men make laws for other free men? Why do members of the legislature fall for press agents’ nonsense? Who sold the lawmakers the idea that any publicity was good publicity? I'm thinking of the little page who is proud and awed by the fact that he served a day in the General Assembly. I'm thinking of the instructions he received from his father and mother. Then I think of Rep, 8S. Hugh Dillin, Petersburg Democrat, sitting in his chair with both feet on top of his desk. I'm thinking of the high school students, taxpayers who think they ought to get more for their tax dollar, exchange students from foreign lands, the man who is on the borderline of not believing
our democratic system is the best. I'm thinking |
that thére is a war going on in Korea. I'm still thinking of the invocation from last week. I'm thinking it's high time the honorable gentlemen kicked themselves in the pants and cut out low humor, vaudeville acts, circus routines and acted with more decorum than a delinquent at a watermelon bust. Acted at least like a 7-year-old page who believes the stories he hears
about Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson and |
Valley Forge and Gettysburg. I'm thinking the gentlemen of the legislature should leave comedy to Martin and Lewis, Abbott and Costello, Fred Allen and Groucho Marx. They're paid for comedy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27—Darling Tallulah Bankhead said—while spilling champagne on me—that she prefers radio to her first love, the stage, “because the theater makes me sleepy, darling, wnd you know me, I'm so damned lazy, darling.” I felt honored to have her spill champagne on me but I claim no special credit for it, Anybody can do it--if they get near her.
When her best friend, Darling Irving Hoffman,

“People say I couldn't do without the theater, “rd like to knock their brains out! I'd rather play roulette or craps or poker than appear in some dreary play. But I'd still take time to do my civic duties, darling.” “What civic duties, Tallulah?” “Come, you can’t be that stupid, darling!” Tallulah's happy with the success of her radio program, “The Big Show.” Incidently, she had a word for the rating systems that fail to list it in the first 10. It's unprintable. “I don't want to sound malicious to the theater, but in my 18 weeks on the radio, I've been heard by more people than in my 32 years in the theater. ! 3 “Some day, I suppose, I'll go into television—
"when they fix’ it so I don’t look like my dead
grandmother—and when the loot’s there.” ob & TALLULAH'S new popularity has made her even more a character. Everybody was looking at her, and she laughingly shouted to Joe Bushkin: “Don’t mind me, darling. I'm just the star of the evening!” When somebody brought her an orchid, she said, “Darling, I hate orchids! Take it away and get me a gardenia.” “That’s the horror of being a President's wife or daughter, darling. You have to have a couple dreary orchids pinned on you!” Tallulah had a psychiatrist with her (a new handy convenience for nightclubbers). “You're just for my dope-fiend nights, aren't you, darling?” she said by way of kidding the narcotics charges made by an ex-secretary. Tallulah’s voice. must be getting huskier. Irving Berlin, after hearing Joe Bushkin sing over the phone from a party at Tallulah’'s the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-—This is a city where a suitcase often serves as a bureau drawer, people eat out more than in, and a host of folks don’t wash more than a pair of socks or underpants at home. And because of those things, a lot of businesses that are small business in other towns are big business here. Like laundries, delicatessens and one-room apartments, In normal times, people in the capital act like those of most other big towns. But right now, with a national emergency, the place is jammed with young and old hopefuls from everywhere who have latched on to government jobs with maybe a promise of something big. Most of them are single. So they run in pairs and rent a one-room place with the tub down the hall and with no stove or jeshoxs THE Census Bureau says Washington has more single room quarters than any place of its size in the country—and maybe the world. The official count hasn't been completed since the recent flush of new help started crowding Washington with the Korean crisis, but the number is up in the many thousands. Some are just a sleeping room. Others are those “one-room efficiencies,” with a shower room about the .size of a hall closet, a one-burner stove hdiden behind a screen in the “main” room and no place at ail to do a decent job of washing and ironing. : $ & & IN the Distrigt of Columbia, according to the last count, there were 155 delicatessen stores, specializing in eatables people can car cubbyholes they call “home.” These places usually

Death Demand
U. S. Outlines Collazo Case
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2f Up) | —U. 8. District Attorney George| Morris Fay today demanded death! for Oscar Collazo, Puerto Rican assassin accused of slaying a White House guard in an abortive attempt to kill President Truman. Mr. Fay outlined the prosecu-| tion's case at Collazo’s murder trial before a federal court jury of 10 women and two men. The 37-year-old Collazo was wounded and his co-conspirator, Griselio Torresola, was killed when they tried to storm the President's Blair House residence Nov. 1. Leslie Coffelt, White House policeman, was killed in the exchange of bullets. Mr. Fay said the two Puerto Ricans made their assault “with the murderous purpose of assassinating the President.” He told the jurors the government expects them “to return a verdict of guilty as charged”—which would make a sentence of death mandatory. Mr. Fay disclosed that Mr, Cof-
