BOY SCOUT WEEK
So The Old Lady
WavedHerUmbrella
By TED CHAIL
Record Staff Writer
Millions of people In our world have believed they
were involved in the greatest movement of modem times.
These have included the communists, the fascists, the stu
dio bosses who direct the ripple of Marilyn Monroe’s hips,
the cop who shunts traffic to Coney Island, and a profes
sional show-off who thinks the world might profit greatly
if they allowed him to go over the artificial waterfall on
Times Square in a barrel.
But there to no group or person,
no-one anywhere — not Tito and
Company, or Helena Rubins beta and
pals — who have been more firmly
and unalterably convinced that they
were involved in something earth
quaking than the Boy Scout lead
ers of America. The difference is
that they may be right.
Since 1910, more copies of the
"Boy Scout Handbook" have bwn
sold than any other book save the
Holy Bible: Scouts have camped
along the shores of Ottehee Gurn
ee and a thousand abores across
this country like so many Hiawa
tha* eager to master the secrets
of the forest. They have striven for
courage and manhood, and If not
ali of them achieve it, still they
are probably more courageous and
manly, on the average, than most
other persons.
The Bov Scouts of America, and
their leaders, approach Boy Scout
Week, which to this week, firmly
convinced that they are involved
in something big. And even if you
consider nothing more than num
bers, this to true.
At the present time, in this coun
try alone, there Are four million.

Lawyer Admits
Trying To Give
Senator $2,500
WASHINGTON — A
Nebraska lawyer identified
himself today as the mys
tery wan who tried to give
$2,500 to the campaign fund
of Sen. Francis P. Case (R
SD).
A few hours later. Senate lead
ers acted to set up a blue ribbon
committee to determine if the re
jected donation was "an improper
attempt to influence" Case’s vote
on the pending natural gas biU.
The Senate leadership tried to
ram through a resolution, author
izing the investigation, under an
emergency procedure requiring un
animous consent. But this was
blocked by an objection from San
"William Langer (D-ND.)
Leaders then announced they
would bring the resolution up foe
a vote in the regular manner after
the Senate acts on the gas bill,
which was scheduled to reach *
vote this afternoon.
The attorney, John U Neff, 41,
of Lexington. Neb., admitted that

measure,
plea to die Senate to go ahead and
pass the gas bill today.
‘The Senate would indict itself
and return its own conviction in
the public eye if independent and
honest conclusions are hastily ab
andoned. I fear that expressions
of those conclusions might be taken
as an admission of Improper in
fluence.” Johnson said.
“I. for one, feel no compuision to
e taiiish my integrity by voting
against this bill, because to do sot
would, in my eyes, establish an
rb—nee of integrity.**
Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH),
chairman of the Senate Republican
policy committee and a supporter
of the gas bill, said be believes
the Case incident has changed the
voting alignment on the bill “a
