RCH 26, 1964 menfary by ROBERT HAM . flie following is part of a column in by political satirist ^rles McDowell, Jr. It Involves agress conference with an un- nSvrn RepubUcan hopeful. Q Sir, whoever you are, is it true that you are a candidate for the Republican nomination for'Presldent? Just say that I am avail able to become available. Ttiat’s I called this press conference ,Jto announce my undeclared aillability, to offer myself to ^voters as an alternative to the alternatives now available to ISjse who cannot abide the de- Ired candidates. Q. But why do you refuse to tell us who you are? And why are you wearing the mask? A- I don’t want my campaign tojjeak too soon. Q. Huh? A- The people tire of a candi- ^te very quickly in this new era of I relentless saturation cover age by newspapers, television and kio. I am not giving anyone a Cnee to get bored with me or face. I will not come out in the open or run the risk of being »gged into one of those treach- us primaries until I am ready. “"At the proper time I will dis- “)se my identity, take off my isk and make my move. Sir, do you really expect to be a contender for the nomi- Ition? [a- I think my prospects are as as any and better than most. [Stassen and Mrs. Smith were locked out in the New Hamp- lire primary, for instance, aad )ldwater and Rockefeller were Idly damaged, I was not in the :imary and therefore have not ien knocked out or damaged in any way. How about Lodge? Well, how about him? By Inning on write-^ins he won the ;ht to go into future primaries oh the ballot and be the man the lers want to beat, and sooner or later he will lose and be- ime another piece of damaged )ds. I am not guilty, as Lodge Is, of rising to the top pre- aturely, I am pacing myself. • How about Nixon? Nixon not only has peaked too ion but too many times. He is fer-exposed, over-eager and 'er the hill, although I wish m well and may make him icretary of Commerce. Q- Isn’t Scranton in a rather ood dark-horse position? A- Superficially, yes. In the ^st Gallop Poll, 5 per cent of ^ and file Republicans were >r him. I must admit that 5 per ent is a nice, modest base to uild on. But is he building? No. couple of months ago 7 per ent were for him. He is losing round already, I am only 5 per 6nt behind him now, and I am lot losing ground, * ♦ ♦ •lutUiA.

Another Will Munibling Americans Ever Leap Year! 1 here’s a certain saying .that a girls special prerogative dur ing Leap Year is to propose marriage. Confirmed and non- eonfirmed bachelors should b! advised of their legal rights i,i this matter. No court in the latid will make thoni say “I to a pioposal. No one quite kr.ows how this' •luaint custom came into being it was lost in the lush. Ac ceding to one old tale, in about I-UO It used to be against the law in many countries for a woman to ‘‘woo’- a man, but some liberated ladies henpecUeii officials into suspending the ban on Leap Year as a starter. Within that legend, it is that Scotland in 1:^28 passed a "lepe yeare” law pennitti.i-' maidens to “hae liberte to he- s’peke ye men she likes.” llnief^:- the pathetic victim could make it obvious that he was already l.c- ti'Othed, be couki be fined for not accepting the proposal. This fact applied to present day attitudes would prove to lie rather disasterous. It is liard enough for a girl to “chase” a boy until he “catches’’ her, much less if .she tries to calch him! The only feasible way for a girl to propose to a man and have him accept today would be to literally stuff him in a laundrv bag and drag liim to the neaiest female Justice of the I’ca-o. (She, of course would comolv since she knows the stiain plac ed upon the woman in t.bis com petitive world of “Cat and Mouse.’’) But before you jump into some thing you might later be sorry for, girls, take a look around at the selection of males today -- Would it really be worth all tlie effort which you would undoubt edly exert in the grand attempt? ALMOST It’s almost as difficult to live within an income today as it was to live without one in the early Thirties. — Minneapolis Star. SO CHEER UP! Any person who is always feel ing sorry for himself should be. — The Dubuque (Iowa) Tble- graph-Herald. fiediandftig6k Headkiuarters For Max Factor I 210 Main St. l^am To Speak Correctly? BY CAROL PRIVETTE Arnerican people have a “special language’* of their own. The language is a conglomeration of slurs mumbled from a lazy, closed mouth. Americans can understand each other, but foreigners to our soil have difficulty in translating the strange sounds emanating from the American mouth. “Saturday Review” published an amusing little guide for foreign tourists visiting American soil. The Magazine staff came up witli some Interesting American equivalents for everyday words and phrases. “Saturday Review” indicates that foreieners would fare better by using their equivalents than an English dictionary.
