FALL EUECTIPNS
The narrow gap between the two
parties makes this fall's elections
veTy impesjtant. Many of my
friends on both sides of the aisle
are not wasting any time in their

evenly divided, there wfflhe neat

IJHE COMMISSION
I Last year, the President asked

was called the Randall Commis

three-year extension of the pres

My friends on the other side of
the aisle did not see fit to go along
with the President's commission.
While I realise that the problems
are Very complicated, my party has
taken a historical position for free

Here's A Real
Fish Tale - An

ST. PETBRHBTJip, 51a. (OP)
Fishing boat captain J. B. Mathewa
had a whopper of a Osh story to
tell today about the “big one that
got away” all eight tons of him.
Mathews said his charter" boat
the 85-foot Captain Bae Strick
land, was cruising the Gulf of Mex
ico Monday about 50 miles west of
Johns Pass, Fla., with 60 pasaen

In weight.

shark under the jaw with a grap

thick anchor chain.
The shark immediately came to
life and headed out Into the gulf,

unprintable reason to throw me
out of the boat.”
And the argument continued as
the two Dunn sportsmen????walked
along through the water pulling
the boat beside them with the
snake curled up apparently enjoy
ing the ride. They managed to sal
vage most of their bull' frogs and
finally got to shore.
The snake refused to budge until
they got the boat anchored and
then he crawled out just as nice
and politely as a well-mannered,
snake could have.
“Well,” demanded Mutt, wring
ing wet and dripping from head to
foot, “why don’t you pick up that
stick there and kill it?”
"W-w-w-why don’t you?” re-i
plied Erwin meekly, keeping a good
distance away. In the meantime,
the snake went his way and Erwin
and Mutt came back to town. They
hardly spoke to each other on the
way home.
"The next time 1 go bull-frogg
ing with that Erwin Gordon,” de
clared Mutt today, “I’m going to
know there aren’t any snakes ar
ound or else they can send me to
Dix Hill.”
But Mutt needn't worry about
Erwin going again. From now on.
he's going to stick to canned and
frozen frog legs. He's taking no
more chances With snakes.

WEDNESDAY AETERN66N, JULY 7, Iss4.
Romeo Flynn Told-
To Pay His Rent
LONDON (UP)—A British judge’
today ordered actor Broil Flynn to
pay a bill to his landlady' within
seven days or go to Jail.
Flynn angrily contended the
landlady overcharged him.
The scene was the Westminister
county court. The cast did not in
clude Flynn although he was in
town.
But the evidence included a
heated letter from the actor to
Judge Edgar T. Dale,. denouncing
Mrs. Margaret Lucy Peters' charge
that he owed her about $l3O In
back bills on her Hampstead house
which he rented In 1952.
Mrs. Peters obtained a judge
ment to that amount last Novem
ber and complained to the court
that while she had been promised
payment repeatedly, she hasn't
seen the color of Flynn® money.
According to her attorney, Flynn
who currently is staying at the
plush Savoy Hotel, obviously can
afford to pay the claim for gas,
electricity, laundry and telephone
charges.
Jpdge Dale read excerpts from
the actor’s letter to him In which
Flynn said:
“1 don’t think it very fair to
arrive In this country and, just
after my arrival, to be told with
out warning that I was sued and
lost the case.”
The Judge commented he could
not believe Flynn didn’t know the
case had been heard.
Flynn said he was willing to pay
.the money to his landlady, but
charged she not only failed to keep
her rental contract with him, but
