Bainbridge news

WASHINGTON (UPI)—S e n. Birch Bayh of Indiana said Wednesday he was not interest, ed in running for Vice Presi. dent on the Democratic ticket this year, but he was “deeply honored” at the suggestion by Sen. Thomas J. McIntyre, DN.H. McIntyre, in a speech from the Senate floor Wednesday, urged Democrats to nominate

society and all it stands for. They argue as follows: C.A.R. only appears to support the Birch point of view. Actually, though, his letter is not an honest and sincere defense of Birchism but a cynical and shameful attempt to make everyone believe what liberals and sane convervatives have always said about the Birch Society—that it is a haven for all sorts of weird kooks who are unburdened by even an elementary knowledge of the rules of evidence, logic, and English composition. Look closely at his letter, they say. Though it is advanced as a Birchite tract, even a casual reading of it shows it to be the most obvious kind of “unpatriotic drivel”--to use William F. Buckley’s phrase. Not even the most devout Bircher, they assert, really believes that Martin Luther King was killed by the Communists or that the “Indianapolis Star and News” can significantly educate anybody about anything. Birchers may not be the most intellectually agile people in the world, they admit, but few of them are “that” bad. In reality, therefore, C.A.R. is not the Birchsymp he claims to be but a clandestine and insideous master of deceit who seeks to tarnish the image of the Birch Society and undermine public confidence in the caliber of the Birch mind. In fact, C.A.R. is abviously an ally of Richard Dean, if not Dean himself. The liberals and sane conservatives, of course, deny this. Although they quite agree that C.A.R. is engaging in duplicity, they have a very different explanation for it. Working on the assumption that Birchers are naturally devious (why else are they so secretive about their membership and activities?). They argue that C.A.R. is actually a member of the Birch Society and of TRAIN who is trying to hide his identity by pretending he is merely a Birchsymp. At the same time, he wants to let other members know that he is really a member in good standing without, of course, saying so. What gives him away, the liberals and sane conservatives say, is the very way he signs his letter: “C.A.R.”, they claim, refers not to his initials but to

his status in the TRAlhi organization. “C.A.R.” is merely a clever code word for “member,” for aren’t TRAINS after all made up of CARS, they ask? Not only is C.A.R. merely a member of TRAIN, they continue, he is obviously a rather lowly member who is bucking for higher status by writing such obsequious claptrap about the Birch Society and TRAIN organization, at which time he will be t h e LOCOMOTIVE - - or “LOCO” for short. Everyone, both Birchers and liberals and sane conservatives, wish him luck. Robert E. Calvert

Bayh for the vice presidency. McIntyre also said he was send, ing letters to all prospective Democratic presidential nominees, asking that Bayh be considered. Bayh had a previous appoint, ment and was not present in the Senate when McIntyre delivered his speech. The Indiana Senator said he was somewhat surprised that McIntyre delivered the speech because he said he told the New Hampshire lawmaker on Monday he was not interested in the nomination. Bayh is running for re-elec. tion to a second six.year term in the Senate. He said he was “deeply honored that a distinguished United States Senator should even consider me for this nomination, but that my only interest is in seeking a second term for Sena, tor from the State of Indiana.” “I cannot overstate my grati. tude and appreciation for this gesture on the part of Senator McIntyre, but neither can I over state the fact that I have given this idea no considera. tion,” Bayh said, “and I cannot foresee any occurrence that would change my intention to

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF

OEVERAL BOOK PUBLISHERS are said to be urging a O Wyoming rancher named Percival to write a book entitled, "How to Bag Two Deer Without Firing a Single Shot." Seems Mr. Percival nailed his first deer with his pick-up truck. The garage man in the town nearest the conquest estimated that for $700 he’d made the pick-up truck look good as new, then loaned Mr. Percival his own car to drive back home. Four miles out of town—you guessed it!—Mr. Percival plowed into deer number two. We spare you Mrs. Percival’s comments when her intrepid husband got home. * After Susan had been away at Wellesley College for a fortnight, she long-distanced her mother to plead for fifty dollars for a new dress. “I’ve had dates for six consecutive nights with a divine Harvard senior,” she explained, “and have worn each of the dresses I brought with me. I just must have another one for a party this Saturday night.” Mama’s cold response was, "Get another boy friend and start over.” * * * There’s an usher in a Broadway theatre that hasn’t housed a hit show in three years—just a dreary succession of “turkeys” that close after five or ten dismal performances. “I’ll tell you how bad it is,” volunteers this usher. “I haven't had to change mv flashlight batteries since 1965!” © 1968. by Bennett Cerf.

serve the people of Indiana for another six years.” McIntyre led the unsuccessful campaign for President Johnson in New Hampshire’s first, in-the . nation primary but is “totally uncommitted” to a pre. sidential candidate now that the President is out of the race. Besides endorsing Bayh as “an unusually capable and ex. perienced legislator,” McIntyre noted the Indiana Senator by “an intriguing coincidence” has served the same 14 years of le. gislative experience that John Fitzgerald Kennedy had when he ran for President. He also noted that Bayh was on the same small plane with the late President’s brother,Sen. Edward Kennedy, D - Mass., when* it crashed in bad weather June 19, 1964. “The crash snuffed out two lives, and we know how Senator Bayh, himself in pain, managed to remove Senator Kennedy from the wreckage before it could catch fire,” McIntyre re. called. He urged support for Bayh as a leader in the civil rights fight, as the first Senator to publicly disclose waste and cor. ruption in the aid program to Vietnam, and for his leadership in the fight against crime. Bayh served in the Indiana Legislature before winning a Senate seat in 1962. The Terre Haute Democrat was unopposed for renomination at the party’s state convention this summer. Cost of living continues to climb WASHINGTON (UPI) -The cost of living took its biggest upward jump in more than two years in June, the government reported today. The increase was mainly the result of an upsurge in housing costs. The Labor Department reported that the consumer price index rose half a per cent over may levels to 120.9 per cent of the 1957-59 base period —4.2per cent higher than a year ago. This means the same market basket of goods and services which $10 could have purchased during the base period now costs $12.90. Based on 1939 terms, $10 worth of goods then would cost $24.97 today. Labor Department economists blamed most of the overall increase on mortgage interest costs. They added however that price increases for clothing, gasoline and cigarettes also exerted strong upward pressure.

PARIS (UPI)-One of the most important ingredients of the new Paris look for this fall and winter had nothing to do with coats, dresses, suits or evening gowns. It began with a new hairdo. Gone were all the busy, bushy, elaborate hairstyles that meant hours at the coiffure and a half-dozen hairpieces. Not one Paris haute couture salon showed hairstyles that could be considered elaborate by comparison with last sea. son’s curls and complicated hairstyles. This season the head was small, either cropped close like a boy’s or pulled into a womanly chignon. Sometimes for evening a piece was added to make the bob look like long hair or the chignon look bigger, but it was seldom so extravagant that one stopped to think “that has to be a hairpiece.” The Chignons were especially small and neat at Dior and one pretty blonde Swedish model

wore a cropped cut that looked almost like Twiggy’s old hair style. Adding to the small head look were dozens of helmets and hoods. Dior made tiny helmets like baby bonnets and fastened them neatly under the chin, sometimes with chain, sometimes with a fabric strap. Other times there were detachable hoods growing out of jersey tunic blouses.
