The Democrats tentatively have chosen Aug. 27, 1956, Z for their national convention, some five weeks later than “ the 1952 affair. Republicans have not settled on a date, ■ but are considering either late August or early September. Z If the parties hold firm on the idea of late dates, the " 1956 campaign will be one of the shortest in American -history. * Certain effects of considerable political consequence r may follow. The August doldrums, long a headache to the politicians, will be eliminated. But that very fact means that the prenomination period will be extended, -• adding to the strain and tension and perhaps bitterness ;■ in a hard-fought, open party contest. ON the other hand, for a nominee who is an incumbent President or an almost equally well-known national figure, the campaign tasks will be somewhat simplified. Whether they will be lightened is possibly a matter for argument. Conventions usually candidates, parties and some j times even the electorate at fever pitch emotionally. It • will be easier for a nominee to plunge from this atmos phere directly into a high-gear campaign of six or seven ~ weeks. A few politicians dissent, arguing that with concentrated television and whirlwind airplane campaign tactics any candidate can be put across in the available time. If this is really so, it should be obvious that to be successful such -a drive must rely upon the most sharply refined political technique conceivable. Applying all this to the specific case of 1956, the poli ticians are saying with some reason that if President Eisenhower is a candidate for re-election his alreadly great 1 advantage—growing out of his popularity—will be multi plied. If he is not going to run, party leaders think the GOP should waste no time in building up a successor candidate. By the same reasoning, Adlai Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic candidate, right now the top choice anyway, would seem to be in a stronger position for 1956. Four years ago he went through the painful process of making himself known to the country. However the new plans work out, they’ll make 1956 a lively time. Things are seldom dull when you smash old patterns. Latins Are Lousy Lovers, She Says HOLLYWOOD (UP) Sarita Montie], established on the Mexican and Spanish screen, believes ‘ La tins are lousy lovers” on film, at least. Ironically, her plaint stems from - - -y -o give rather than protracted kisses on tradition.

It is an Important thesis; yet it must be remembered that Frederick Engels, who was Karl Marx’s partner In revolution ary doctrine, was a large textile manufacturer; Prince Peter Kro potkin, who was what used to be called a philosophic anarchist, was of the Russian nobility; that most of the early leaders of the Bol sheviks were of the economic mid dle-class, and that in the United States, many of the Socialists of other generations, such as James G. Phelps Stokes and Robert Hun ter, were men of means. Frederick Vanderbilt Field and Corliss Lam ont do not stand out as exceptional leftists among the rich. Eugene Lyons says: "The tragic irony of it is that many former Communists find themselves in economic straits pre cisely because they are dedicated to exposing and fighting the Red faith they repudiated. Had they chosen, like the overwhelming ma jority of the disillusioned, to crawl away in silence, they would have evaded the ostracism, the ordeal by sneer, which have been their 1 portion. In the liberal vocabulary, | the opposite of a ‘professional ex- Communist’ is not an amateur ex- Communist but an ex-Communist I who pleads the Fifth Amendment.” | Anti - Communist organizations generally operate on a pittance I and any effort to raise money for ( them is a mo6t unpleasant ex- perience. Men whose selfish Inter ests might be protected by opposi tion to Communism seem to fear to have their names associated with such causes. On the other hand, organizations like the Na tional Committee for an Effective Congress or the Fund for the Re public, which throw road-blocks in the way of anti-Communists, are well-heeled. The various Jewish, organizations which exist to fight anti-Semitism raise millions of dol lars every year, even if sometimes their labors involve shadow-boxing, but the American Jewish League Against Communism has to pass the hat to pay its rent and its one employee, Rabbi Benjamin Schultz, often is not paid at all. The explanation perhaps lies In the fact that class-consciousness is not a normal characteristic of a classless society and the United States is a classless society. If Frederick Vanderbilt Field choos es to be a Communist, he acts as an individual and not as a member of a class-conscious group. When some of the ultra-rich hated Franklin D Roosevelt because he "betrayed his class,” they failed to realize that he belonged to no class. He was an opportunistic politician who happened to read his times correctly and took ad vnr’r.rc rs ritTintfrm To tN- (Mi; ■ l.r»;-.f .CoiJvnvir.lsm. .•■lance, a lawyer who Is an anti communist, who delivers speeches on private enterprise and the dig nity of man, may be found advis ing his clients in such away as to stregthen the Communits.

Is he a hypocrite? Not at all. He is a lawyer who can separ ate, in his mind, his philosphy of life from the necessities of his clients. That kind of thinking is current m this country. It has nothing to ing characterized properly as a lover on the Mexican screen. “Just tradition,” she said. "In real life the Mexican male is known for his ardor and his way to the heart. I cannot tell you truthfully about either the Mexican or North American man, of course, because I have never been In love as yet. “However, I am a woman, and a woman has Instinct.

Now that the real Marilyn’s bat tling with her studio, the near- Marilyns will all be warming up in their boudoirs—and Jack’s al ready made this one a Big Name. The Big Name was; “The girl who was on with Jack Benny.” “My own friends,” said the young lady—Miss Leigh Snowden, 22, a bouncy blonde from Covington, Tenn.—“have said to me, “Did oyu see the girl on the Benny show Who looked like Marilyn? You look a little like her.’” Miss Snowden Just got a con tract with Univleiteal—due to a scout seeing her with Benny—and I happen to have her life story. "Did Jack say anything when he selected you?” I asked her when we met at CBS In Hollywood. f’Nfo,” she shrugged. “He Just patted me.” * “He PATTED you!” I exclaimed, all aboil. “On the shoulder.” She opened her mouth like Marilyn does, and gave me an adenoidal glance.

After two years at Lambuth College In Jackson, Term., she won a trip to San Francisco, modeled there fbr the House of Charm agency, got to Hollywood and then one fateful day she happened to have her mouth open gaping at the new Insurance building. “I’ve got a short upper Up and a tendency to keep my mouth open,” she told me. An agent happened to see her do with the rich protecting their property; it does have to do with large segments of our people not being able to adjust their minds to the reaUties of the Communists conspiracy. They can speak of it forthrightly at a dinner party; It plays no part In the life of their offices. The fact must be faced by a man like Eugene Lyons, who Is expert In the subject, that mist ln(teiUg(ent Americans have been educated vocationally but are Ig norant of philosophy and history which they left, at college, to the long-haired boys and the short haired girls. Even in the anti communist movement, among those who are most active, ignor ance of Marxism is appalling.

The reason I said she’s honest is that she volutarily told me, "There’s one thing Marilyn’s got that I haven’t." She turned around and showed me what it was. Leigh had one sad experience. Sidney Skolsky, the greatest living authority on Marilyn, heard of her supposed resemblance to Miss Monroe. "Walk up and down for me,” he commanded. She walked up and down. “You don’t look like her in the back,” he decreed. “Furthermore,’’ he added, “you don’t look like her In the front!” But she made it by NOT keep ing her mouth shut!

George H. Ben der (R., Ohio), right next to the suite occupied by Vice President Richard M. Nixon, j The bird really belongs to Sen ator Bender’s secretary, Mrs. C. D. Terry. It has already learned to greet Bender with a “Hi, Sen ator!” During the campaign it welcomed all callers at Senator Bender’s office with, “Bender for Senator.” Mrs. Terry has kept Kiwi in the Bender offices for over two years. It is so tame that it was •allowed outside a cage. It never ventured outside the office. I -At present, the small, blue breasted, gray-winged bird is in stalled in one of the center offi ces of Bender’s suite. But if the staff has anything to say about it, Kiwi will be put in the outer reception room to greet guests as they Walk in the door. This friendly welcome never fails to make a hit with callers, f When Vice President Nixon’s staff was informed that a pet parakeet was moving in next door, a rumor was started that the V. P. was seeking new quar ters. But if the bird can be taught to give Vice President Nixon a “Hi VEEP” greeting, it will probably win him over. k UNITED MINE WORKERS Journal took a crack at AFL and CIO Presidents George Meany and Walter Reuther in a series of faked New year’s resolutions.

The President probably will act soon to establish his voting resi dence In Pennsylvania by spend ing one night on his farm in Get tysburg. There was a report that he might go up to Gettysburg this weekend, but the White House said No. Too many messages to Congress in the works. If Mr. Eisenhower visits Palm Springs, Calif., again this year, it probably will not be before mid- February. Actually, he has not de cided one way or the other about a California visit, although Paul G. Hoffman, one of his close friends, has high hopes of luring the Eisen howers back to Palm Springs. The old Cabinet Room at the White House is being fitted with a large bank of overhead tubular lights to make the room more use able for staff conferences. The room was known during the Roosevelt administration as the Fish Room because of a decorative tank of tropical fish. The tank was moved long since to other regions QwcKßrrel ~ LUNCH . POOM ==r “A bowl of chili with an extra shot of red pepper -I'U bat' that’ll g«t hit laga off that stool in a hurry!” . solved—We’ll believe it when it I happens.” IF DEMOCRATIC senators carry through their threat to • “demand the names” of alleged Communists fired or allowed to resign under the Eisenhower se curity program, they will be re versing a stand taken by the Democrats previously. During the Truman adminis tration, the White House refused to give congressional investigat ing committees the names and files of personnel dismissed on grounds of disloyalty. Now it’s the Republican administration whieh is claiming that these files are confidential and must not be disclosed. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF ca reer diplomat Loy Henderson in Washington to become Deputy Undersecretary of State for Ad ministration, Republican Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles believes he has perfected a plan for having Foreign Service Offi cers run the Department of State as permanent deputy undersec retaries. The deputy undersec retary for international political affairs is already installed in Robert Murphy, another career diplomat. The idea behind this plan of organization is to keep the pro fessionals in charge of continu ous operation of the State De partment, regardless of changes in political control at the top. When a new party comes to power after an election, it will naturally name a new Secretary and Undersecretary of State. Some of the Assistant Secretaries might also be changed by polit ical appointments. i But the career diplomats serv ing as deputy undersecretaries for administration and interna tional political affairs would con-, tinue from one administration to the next This would assure! that the bi-partisan foreign poli cies would be carried on con sistently. of the White House. The Eisenhower administration has been using the room for staff meetings, but the lighting was so poor that it was difficult for the staff to read from certain types of documents, particularly carbon co pies. While Mr. Eisenhower was in Augusta recently, technicians went to work installing an amazingly large bank of lights which virtually cover the ceiling of the big room. Actually, tlie light is strong enough to be used for television and newsreels if Mr. Eisenhower so desires. Favorite derisive remark around the White House this week was “How was your vacation?’’ said usually by the stay-at-homes to those who traveled south with the chief executive. It seems that a lot of work had to be done on the Washington end as well as in Augusta. And a much more laborious winter season is in prospect. For one thing, Mr. Eisenhower will hit the winter banquet circuit in Washington shortly. These al fairs require a lot of work in sched uling and planning the President’s attendance at an affair outside the White House. He’s already accepting banquet invitations for dates into March. What Did He Say? WORCESTER, Mass. (IPI Plastic ear muffs that will muffle the mdst deafening noises have been developed by a Worcestor firm. They’re designed for use in hangars or on decks of carriers where jets are roaring, or in in dustrial plants where the noise is loud and continuous.
