By Ed Sovola . a la PRIZE BULLS, c6ws, sows, cakes, chickens and jelly are in the imelight at the 95th Indiana State Fair, . * . Hundreds of Hoosiers will’ carry cash prizes and ribbons home. The winners will be cofi-gragtulated-and get pats on the back.

Indiana’s big show Téquires a great deal of effort :
to put over.
I've béen fooling around the Fair and came to °
the cogclusion wa neglect . to give attention to “persons who are mighty important in-the over- all operation. + Without them she State Fair would bog down and come to a halt. 3 ~ On the .second floor of the Administration Building: is located the “Voice of the Fair.’ When You pick up your telephone and call TA -lbot 2471, You probably never give the ladies. who handle the communication. system a thought. . They're fine people. They work without fanfare, publicity and many time$ are subjected to sharp tongues.
oe oe oe
SOMEBODY gets teed off at the Fair and blows steam to the first voice he hears; the ladies who operate the switchboard. Mrs. Lucille Lowery, supervisor, Miss Rate Banziger and Mrs. Ann Sturges were. surprised to have someone come in and say they'ré& doing a fine job and it’s a shame no blue ribbons come their way. Theq are not used to such treatment, It almost embarrasses them. The board has five trunks and 12 stations. When all the connecting cords are out, which is +most of the time during the Fair, Miss Datiziger - and Mrs. Sturges look as if they are digging into a platter of spaghetti.’ The board is constantly buzzing. I don’t know how- they stand it fer eight hours. ‘A fly would get punchy in the room.

TENSION is relieved by many of the calls that come in. One call that tickled them came from a woman who said she found a lovebird in her yard dnd she wanted tc know if any escaped at the Fair. The call was transferred to the “feathered friends” department. . Mrs. Lowery hasn't heard so far if the lovebird is back in the cage he left. Maybe the bird has trouble at his house. Mrs. Lowery said calls this year began earlier and the night before the official opening it £ssumed the flood stage. She believes the 95th edition will break records If the switchboard keeps buzzing as it has, she knows her department will have set a record at least, Most of the calls come from citizens who. want” general information. What time do the gates open? How much does it cost to get in? Is there any charge after a certain hour? One irate mother asked what time the shows on the Midway closed. OK, why aren't the kids home then? ‘The operators didn't know why the kids weren't home. Did they come to the Par?

. NEW YORK, Sept. 1—Herb- Shriner, “one of ~-Arthur needs several-—is not kidding when he claims to be a country boy.
he asked me
“What d’you think of this suit?” recently. “Set me back $60.” Now it's unheard of for any
kind of an actor to admit wearing suits costing under $100. “Where'd you get it?” - “Philadelphia.” “You live in New York where they have the best tailors in the world, and you go to Philadelphia_ for a suit?” “I figured if it don’t fit, I can go to Philadelphia to wear it,” Herb said.
o HERB HAS ONE of the little “Playboy” cars—only about 190 were ever made—and he explores New York In it. His wife, Pixie, to whom he's been married less than two years, never knows where he is. But she always suspects he's run into somebody who reminds him of somebody back home in Toledo, or Ft. Wayne, Ind, “I.wish I had enough time to go galavantin’ around in my little red car,” Herb says. “Like today now. I sort of fell into a fellah's store where he sells radios and wire recorders and
Mr. Shriner
— stuff. The fellah says I got the wrong kind of
tape recorder and he wants to sell me a new one.
- He don't even know what kind of tape recorder
I got but he knows it's the wrong kind.”
Herb was telling me (before I left on my round-the-world trip) of andther hangout, Leo
Hartman's Techni-Service, on 44th St. in New York. . “He's a 300-pound guy,” Herb said. “Every
time I drop in he says, want to show you.’ “Like one time, he finds out you can make out a check on a postcard. You save 2 cents on stamps and the cost of the check.” - “You see, that's what T'm thinkin’ about when I ought to be workin',” Herb says.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1—I would like tq believe
that Sen. Estes Kefauver is serious about the code of conduct for investigations, which might at least provide a little aid and comfort to the target of congressional attadk. We have not yet
decided that a committee probe is not a trial, or *
that just because a Congressman says it makes it so. . “The unfortunate thing,” Sen, Kefauver says, “is that charges made on the Senate floor, sometimes without proper foundation in fact, and charges made before committee hearings, sometimes likewise devoid of foundation, have the tendency to convict—in the minds of the public —those persons against whom the charges have been made.” . Sen. Kefauver is right enough, since he pioneered the field in the infliction of guilt hy association in the now-famous crime commission hearings of last year. It was true that he was dealing mainly with busted flushes whose redolent repu“tations couldn't have been sullied, but ‘the odd innocent could have been wrecked for all the world to see. : ob NH . SEN, KEFAUVER'S code now mentions that committee hearings supply equal access to radio, television, newspapers, newsreels, and magazines. I still think ‘that there's going to.be some strife on the television angle, even though the Senator specifies that camera lights are.not to unduly dis-
tract or frighten the witness-and interfere. with his presentation of defense. The point has not. been made to ‘stick. so far,
but I do not think that a man can legally be made.

Then-she told the caller that any seat on the northside of the Coliseum would do. “ A family man wanted to know where he could buy one ticket that would admit him, his wife and four children. He didn’t want six individual tickets. He couldn't understand why there wasn’t a special consideration shown to families. He kept the line busy for 10 minutes. <> 2 oe

TO HERB it's also interesting that lately there's sprung up a regular “glasses set” of entertainers, After Russell Nype of “Call Me Madam” did well with glasses, people started notici ing other glasses-wearers, such as Robert Q. Lewis, Steve Allen and others. "A fellah said to me the other day, ‘Why don't you get a hearing aid and be the first guy on television with a hearing aid?’ be funny,” Herb said.
On the Godfrey show, Herb doesn’t have much chance to talk about his grandfather who had a general store around Lenewee Junction, and Tipton, Mich. - Grandpa kept moving around—never more than 3 to. 4 miles away. “His trouble was, he just had the wanderlust,” says Herb. Grandpa always dusted off the penny candy on Saturday and he kept a snapping turtle in the cracker barrel to get after the cracker eaters who kept: sticking their hands in for free crackers. Herb's still a young fellow and should become very important. He gave up the country many years ago after a short radio career in Ft. Wayne as “Harmonica Herb.”
“I made quite a name for myself,” he lias often said. “I'left there when I found out what it.icas.”

Sen. Kefauver hopes to remedy this by a pro-
vision that anyone to be probed will be forewarned of the charges, and that any legislator who intends to name an individual or an organization in a derogatory manner first notify his target of the charges. This is ostensibly to allow the witness to present a sworn statement and to retain a counsel who could cross-question the probers and to file a rebuttal. : NB — This-seems-to me to destroy the whole pir-
