ii i 4f 3 1 Diary Daze! JANUARY 1, 1942 So many diaries started, so few finished. The din of New Year's Eve. The thought that it would be soul soothing to see the Old Year out quietly, say in front of an open fire place thoughtfully. Tnen set out to welcome the New Year riotously 1 a. m.

to breakfast! Set your own time! Lay late, being awakened at 11 a. m. by Bill Hoy: "Can'l we persuade you to change your mind and come along to Elmer's?" (You know Elmer Erb) A reluctant "No Sorry!" A great day to be in the mountains, snow sprinkled and with the stillness broken only by the roar of the dam. Second breakfast at noon, then for a look at "Louisiana Purchase," which would be quite flat sans Bob Hope and Victor Moore. Fun watching Moore watch Bob showing how a woman squeezes into a girdle.

Memory stretching line: when it was legal for a Republican to be president." Snow slowing traffic. EGC of DC spending New Year's Day in the village making the rounds, finding time to work on her magazine article on Frank Young, who keeps Washington radios alive in the wee' sma' hours. As EGC's FY or can you on the radio? Anyway a good day to sleep! Was hoping to start the NY with a cleared desk. No use! Radio bringing music and bad news. Skimming Ogden Nash's book of verse.

Must ask him to let us print the one about the Japanese boy. Quite apropos. JANUARY 2, 1942. Two days' mail. Lettered desk.

Much material and so much fun reading. Your opinions keep us going. Swell suggestion from Mrs. Harry Fornwald of Lebanon. You buy a pack of cigarets for a man in service.

Have 20 friends write personal messages on slips the size of a cigaret paper. Wrap each cigaret, repack, mail. Personalized puffing. Howdy, Mr. Tunney! Wait'll we give you HB's article on Mr.

Tunney and Tobacco. To luncheon in Penn Harris, enjoying reminiscing by Mayor Milliken and his teacher of long ago, Miss Elizabeth S.I Baker. "Remember the Day." which happens to be a picture coming to the State. Why do you think Floyd Hopkins arranged the luncheon? Pictures, too. Chat with Joe Kline, who has certainly enlisted in National Defense.

Porter Hammond recalling New Year's Eve in N. Y. one he'll never forget. Son joining up with Coast Guard, sure to be assigned to some Hawaiian base. Ann Corio revisiting this cubby hole, the conversation running to many subjects, principally the book we'd like to help ner write.

Ann did do a book once, an honest size up of burlesque, etc. Publishers sniffed; they wanted iv something on the shady side, not honest reporting. Gypsy Rose Lee in ner novel (wno wrote it?) pleases the publishers. Every little burlesque girl is out for no good except GRL, who approaches perfection or something. Later in the city room, the talk centered on the derivation of String.

"A very important part of any strip teaser's wardrobe," said Ann. She wasn't sure about "how it all started." RFS came up with a logical idea: "The string is the heaviest violin string." Is it? Why not immortalize Corio and call it the string? Later in the evening 'twas our privilege to present Ann to some distinguished people at the Telegraph's Golden Gloves (CBS, NT, et al) bouts. v. Mike Seaman doing a good Job of ballyhoo, inviting the g.i FAST BOUTS FOR GOLDEN GLOVES FANS The Carson twins from Hershey were among the most popular boxers for the opening of the Harrisburg Telegraph's annual Golden Gloves and here is John (on the left) dropping his opponent, Rudolph Courtney, to take the 126 pound sub novice event in which he is entered.

HARRISBURG SECOND SECTION To Join Navy 18 Sent to Philadelphia From Harrisburg Recruiting Office Patriotic men today formed a long line outside the Harrisburg Navy recruiting office. I. B.

3 Democrats Seen in Race For Governor Chairman Meyers Says Field Has Narrowed to "Ross, Harr and Guffey" Meredith Meyers, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, asserted today the field of "can didates" for the gubernatorial nomination has narrowed down to three "Ross, Harr and Guffey." He referred to Auditor General F. Clair Ross, Luther A. Harr, chief counsel of the Bituminous Coal Commission, a Federal agen cy, and United States Senator Jo seph F. Guffey. None has said he would or would not be a can didate.

"As far as I'm concerned, there are only three candidates, Ross, Harr and Guffey," the Chairman declared. "As for me, I'm for an open primary." Meyers and Guffey both have declared for an open primary which would be accomplished by abolition or suspension of the State Committee's rule that a slate be recommended. Guffey bucked the Recommen dations Committee in 1938, losing on a ticket of Thomas Kennedy for Governor and the late S. Da vis Wilson for the United States Senate. He won re election for himself in 1940 when the Commit tee suspended the endorsement rule though some elements backed Walter A.

Jones for the United States Senate at that time. The Senator said some time ago he could list a dozen or 15 poten tiai candidates lor Governor in the Democratic field but rescinded a promise to list them publicly, The list is said to include Ken nedy; Arthur Colegrove, Corry publisher; Former Governor George H. Earle, United States Minister to Bulgaria, who is on his way home; Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, and William C. Bullitt.

The situation among the Repub licans is just as unclear. Mentioned as possible candidates are United States Senator James J. Davis, Major General Edward Martin. Lieutenant Governor Samuel S.I Lewis, Attorney General Claude T. Reno, State Senator Weldon B.

Heyburn, and Supreme Court Judge George W. Maxey. Recent ly the names of Roger W. Rowland, former Secretary of Property and Supplies, and G. Albert Stewart, Secretary of Forests and Waters, were added to the speculative conversations.

This is the month for slate making meetings the primary campaign gets under way in Feb ruary and the voting takes place in May. To date there is but one avowed and announced candidate for Governor Ivan C. Watkins, Republican Congressman from Schuylkill county. The State elects a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Internal Affairs, 25 State Senators, 208 Assemblymen and 33 Congressmen this year.
