Here For Breakfast

By HOOVER ADAMS
Monte Hale, one of Hollywood’s most handsome aatL
most daring “cowpokes” galloped into Dunn this morn
ing on his trusty new two-tone Cadillac, downed a hearty
breakfast at Johnson’s Restaurant, and ’lowed to news
men that cowboy pictures are here to. stay forever.
The famous cowboy star of
■ screen, television and comic books
exj£aifted it this way, in his best
.Western drawl:
i ‘tAs long as there are kids, there
will always be cowboy movies and
kids are mighty popular, you know.”
When a reporter arrived, Hale
was busy entertaining Restaurant
owner J. D. Barnes and a bevy of
his pretLy waitresses., and tflxey
were all having a good time.
“Howdy, Podner,” said Hale, “as
he stuck out the long arm that
has packed many a knockout blow
to as many outlaws and bad men
of the movies.
“I’m just sitting here trying to
outstir these natives," he explained
with a grin, “and that’s a mighty
hard thing to do. ‘Fraid they get
the best of me every time.”
STAR OF MANY FILMS
Hale has starred In 47 top wes
terns for Republic pictures and was
the hero of tire first' color western,
"Home On The Range.” HU latest
picture releases are: “The Missour

Judge Orders
Swearing Girl
To Pen Essay
LODI, N. J. (IP) A young house
wife submitted a 530-word essay in
court today and vowed the writing
assignment and the Bible had
taught her never again to swear at
anyone.
Mrs. Gloria Romanowski wrote
the essay on order of police magis
trate George Froellch Jr., after she
was hauled into court for tongue
lashing her landlord when he de
manded back rent.
“One thing I know," she wrote
In the penance essay, “I will never
use the words I used again.”
Magistrate Froelich specified the
essay must be on “the folly of ut
tering loud and indecent language.”
He said it must be well-composed
and written by hand on ruled paper
"with commas and periods in the
right place.” The “sentence” was
imposed last Wednesday for sub
mission today.
Mrs. Romanowski, a 31-year-old
blonde, said It took her three days
to compose the essay. When she
had difficulty filling the 500-word
writing assignment she went to the
Bible for quotations to pad out the
necessary wordage.
“I have certainly learned my les
son,” the young housewife said af
ter adding the Bible words to her
own to make the 530-word total.
“It would have been bad enough
to write 300 (words).” she said, “but
500—ugh."
She said her huspand gave her
no help on the essay and said he
had admitted that if he had been
ordered to do it he would have gone
to Jail.

DUNN, N. C„ TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 27, 1954
Ike Expected
To Aid GOP
Ticket In Fall
WASHINGTON (IP) Pres
ident Eisenhower’s decision
against involvement in local
congressional election cam
paigns is folding under pres
sure.
That the decision would not hold
was forecast last year when the
President announced It. That It is
not holding was sufficiently evident
after Mr. Eisenhower’s swine
through Kentucky last week.
It was not mere chance that
p'aced Kentucky’s Republican Sen.
John Sherman Cooper at the Pres
ident’s elbow when he traveled in
that state. Cooper, up for re-elec
tion this year, has drawn former
Vice President Alben W. Barkley
as his Democratic opponent.
The presidential party with Coop
er prominently displayed, shifted
from closed to open automobiles to
parade Into the larger towns visit
ed last week. That would be a
maneuver dictated by political nec
essity rather than Mr. Eisenhow
er’s preference. The President was
giving Cooper what the politicians
call a coat-tail ride—appearing with
him in public in an effort to trans
i late some of the assumed presi
dential prestige Into votes for the
local party candidate.
NO POLITICS IN GA.
The Kentucky invitation to the
voters to look and applaud con
, trasted with Mr. Elsenhower’s hab

where he prefers to golf. There he
is whisked from airport to tee by
routes least likely to be lined by
citUfns who are going to vote Dem
* oerstlc, anyway, no matter how
loudly they might cheer.
It still Is a bit early for presi
dential campaigning. The tempo will
pick up after Mr. Elsenhower goes
to Denver where he hopes ,to re
main from late July until mid-Sep
tember.
One major political appearance
already is scheduled—a speech Aug.
19'on Republican Day at the Illi
nois State Fair. Republican strat
gists count Sen. Paul Douglas ID-
Ill) among those they might beat
in next November's election.
Party managers are planning an
active October for Mr. Elsenhower.
The campaigning will be on the
pattern of his Kentucky journey
appearances with local candidates
but with the presidential speeches
tuned to higher things than mere
party politics.
The President’s campaigning
likely will take him to California.
There has been discussion of a La

tion chances of California’s Repub
lican Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel. But

I Fake And Lying
Charges Hurled
At Stormy Meet
WASHINGTON (IP) A
blown - up picture of Army
Secretary Robert T. Stevens
and Pvt. G. David Schine to
day kicked off the stormiest
session of the Army-McCar
thy hearing to date.
The Army side cried "fake.” the
McCarthy side retorted with “ly
ing.”
The fakery charge was hurled by
special Army counsel Joseph N.
Welch at the start of today’s Sen
ate Investigating subcommittee’s
hearing into the angry feud be
tween Stevens and his aides and
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and his.
COHN TESTIFIES
Roy M. Cohn, McCarthy’s chief
counsel, testified under oath that
he caused the allegedly doctored
picture to be supplies to hearing
counsel Ray H. Jenkins.
But he asserted he did not see
the photograph after it had been
blown up. At first he said a third
pel-son had been cut out of the
Schine-Stevens photo by the Mc-
Carthy staff. But later he said he
did not know whether or how the
picture was ante red. In any event,
he said, McCarthy himself had
nothing to do with it.
IMPROPER MEANS

other of using “improper means”
of trying to get special favors for

Movie Censor
Defied By
Church Group
MEMPHIS. Tenn. (IP) Trustees
of the First Unitarian Church plan
ned today to defy the 88-year-old
chief Memphis censor to "send the
police” to enforce his permanent
ban on all Charlie Chaplin films.
The trustees announced after a
private showing of the old silent
movie, "Carmen,” last night that
“as soon as possible" they would
reschedule the public showing they
called off under a threat of police
action last Sunday night.
One trustee said there "wasn’t
a neckline showing” In the film
and the chuch officials denounced
the ban of elderly Lloyd T. Blnford,
Censor Board chairman, as “cap
ricious and arbitrary.”
Binford, whose past rulings have
raised stormy controversies, has
permanently banned all movies in
which Charlie Chaplin or Ingrid
Bergman appear.
When the church planned to show
“Carmen” as part of its “film treas
ure chest” series Blnford said “I
may send the police to stop It."
