THESE
LITTLE
: THINGS
_****By Hoover Adams.*****
EOLL ON TV, OLD RUGS;
THEY DON’T GO TOGETHER!
There on the television screen
was curvaceous Carole Tyler, look
ing sweet, innocent and virtuous
as a small-town choir singer and
wide-eyedly proclaiming her in
nocence of any wrong-doing as
Bobby Baker’s secretary.
Regarless of what her sins may
be or the charges against her, and

sinful, sex-ridden capitol city, the
former Tennessee beauty queen is
still quite a doll.
But right smack in the middle
of her admittedly glamorous ap
pearance on TV came the com
mercial:

linoleum rugs,’, it said, or some
thing like that. Although uninten

the commercials sometimes is so

one woman more than the alleged
transgressions of another woman,
especially if she's pretty .... Typi
cal comment of the fairer sex af
ter Miss Tyler’s televised testi
mony before .the Senate commit
tee, was, “She ought to be horse
whipped, sitting there refusing to
answer.’* .... In other words, they
wanted to hear all the spicey de
tails! _ Former Senator Bob
Young, vacationing with Mrs.
Young down in Florida, sends
word back to friends here that
he’ll be a candidate against Judge
Woodrow Hill in the spring pri
mary .... Mr. Young served as
Dunn’s judge for years, was also
solicitor of the local court -
