again Tuesday night.
Miss Page, who bills herself as
"The Delicious Singing Nude,” ran
into trouble in London last week

Tuesday night several men dress
ed as clergymen parachuted two
white mice onto the stage from
a box overlooking the delicious
nude.
The management dropped the
curtain before Mias Page could
break the law again. And also be
fore the “oergymen” — discover
ed to be sailors in disguise — could
pepper her with the peashooters
they had brought with them.

Democrats Win
First '56 Race
For Congress
PITTSBURGH (IP) — A
Democrat running with full
labor backing today won the
nation’s first congressional
battle of the 1956 presiden
tial year.
Elmer J. Holland, a state sena
tor and CIO official, ran up a 3-to
1 margin over Republican David S.
Smith in a special election Tues
day to fill a vacancy In Pennsyl
vania* 30th congressional district.
Republicans shrugged off the
huge Democratic bulge as having
no national significance because
the Democrats held a 2-to-l advan
tage among the district’s 191.929
registered voters.
Qor. George M. Leader called
the special election to fill a va
cancy resulting from the death of
Mrs. Vera Buchanan last Novem
ber.
He turns from 309 of 311 districts
, gave Holland 36990 votes to 11990
for Smith, bettering the 2-to-l
margin by which Mrs. Buchanan
| beat Smith In 1964. The voting
turnout was light.
The district, one of the most
heavily industrialised in the na
tion. repeatedly has given big mar
gins to Democratic candidates run
ning with the support of the United
Steelworkers and. other labor

Not Against
Second Term
WASHINGTON (IP> — Pres
ident Eisenhower announc
ed today that he probably
will undergo his next impor
tant medical examinations
between February 10 and
February 15. He promised
not to dilly-dally too long
after that on his decision on
whether to seek re - election.
Under new* conference question
ing, the President sold flatly that
no member of his family has any
objection to his running again.
He was lavish in his praise for
Vice President Richard M. Nixon,
but said he had not discussed with
Nixon what role the vice president
would play in the 1956 campaign—
whether or not the President runs.
In an oblique reply to a question
concerning the possible political
future of Chief Justice Earl War
ren, he used his own personal case
as an allegory which suggested
that if Warren enters politics, he
should resign from the Supreme
Court.
