Battlin' Sam Sets 'Em Down At Convention CHICAGO (INS) If the battling Democrats nominate a presidential, choice and end their slightly fantastic convention today they can thank Sam Rayburn that their period of penal servitude In the strife- torn amphitheatre hasn't been even longer. The Bald Eagle from Bonham, Speaker of the House of Representatives and perennial permanent chairman of Democratic Convention, has choked off more potential free-for-alls than a bouncer in a Cicero saloon. Old Sam's masterful handling of the gavel and deft employment of every parliamentary weapon in the arsenal of bodies politic are credited with keeping the 1952 convention from becoming a wrangle rivaling the super marathan of 1924, which -ent on for weeks and weeks. The delegate just doesn't exist who can outsmart the 70-year-old Texan. Roosevelt Tries Jimmy Roosevelt tried It last night, when he popped up with a rule book and challenged Sam's ruling that a motion to adjourn couldn'' be tabled.

James was acting in behalf of the Kefauver forces who at that point were engaged in a tremendous play for delaying tactics, hoping that Coonskin Estes could come up from under and swim through the Stevenson tidal wave to victory after all. Sam, as dignified as a banker cold-shouldering an unsecured loan rattled off a parliamentary stinger that sat Brother Roosevelt right back down in his seat. Another thing that endears Sam to people who are positively praying for an end to the nightmarish goings-on that seem characteristic of these mo: itrous political clambakes is the w.y handles those "aye" and "no" voice votes. a The distinguished chairman must have decibel ears, because he appears to be able to judge that the ayes have it, to end a potentially long-drawn-out hassle, even when to the guy in the gallery it might seem that the "no" boys and girls were the'more vociferous. Democrats say that the wonderful thing about Sam's decisions is that win, lose, or draw, everybody loves him.

He can look a frothing delegate in the eye, make like he doesn't see him, give the floor to somebody else, and still rate tops in the frustrated fellow's book. That sort of thing takes a lot of practice, which Sam has had. He has been going to the political wars for more years than most of the present-day delegates can muster for their birthday candles. He has been Speaker of the House since 1940 and down in Texas they allow he'll be the favorite congressional son of the Lone Star State for another 12 years, and then some. MR.

AND MRS. RICHARD NEWS of 3113 W. 10th are celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary at their home today. They have six children, Mrs. Louis Coverage, of Maryland; Mrs.

Edna Heacock, of Marcus Hook; Mrs. Sophie Firlien, of Trainer; Richard News, of Chester, Mrs. Augusta Crockett of Buckman Village. They have eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr.

News, a retired Sun Oil Fire Marshall, hns been a member'of the Felton Fire Company since May 2, 1902. Mrs. News joined the the Ladies Auxiliary at the same time and was an active member for many years. Common Drunkenness Admitted by Man The charge of common drunkenness was admitted by Leonard Sim moris, who claims no permanent address, when he faced Judge Wil liam R. Toal on Thursday.

The man was arrested on June 21 in Radnor Township. Warden Frank J. Kernaghan said that Simmons baa been under the prison physician's care since his commitment. A brother told the court that an effort will be made to obtain treatment through the Veterans Administration. Menu- while, the court decided, Simmons will remain at Broadmeadows.

The case was presented by Assistant District Attorney Ernest L. Green Jr. Girl Admits Abandoning Child on Doorstep A 21-year-old Fernwood girl who is unmarried pleaded guilty Wednesday at Media to abandoning a newly-born baby, her fourth one, on a doctor's doorstep in Yeadon. Chief C. Stewart Robinson of Yeadon testified that the baby was to Virginia Collins, Church lane, Fernwood, in the Fernwood railroad station of the Pennsylvania railroad and that she wrapped it up in a blanket and left it on the doorstep of Dr.

Robert J. Gallagher, 645 Church lane, Yeadon. The baby lived and is now being cared for in a private home. Judge Harold L. Ervin deferred sentence and ordered that the girl be examined by a psychiatrist.

Basil C. Clare, assistant district attorney, represented the commonwealth at the hearing. Youth Accused of Assault Placed on Probation i A 20-year-old Linwood youth was placed on probation for 23 months after he pleaded guilty to assault with intent to rob charges at Media Wednesday. William Bibey, 1500 block Market was accused of knocking down a neighbor, Mrs. Margaret Mower, 1568 Market as she was going into her apartment following a church meeting on the night of March 20.

When Judge Harold L. Ervin was told that Bibey was under the care of a psychiatrist and that Mrs. Mower didn't want to see the youth sent to jail, he placed Bibey on probation with the understanding that he was to continue with psychiatric treatment. John W. Wellman represented Bibey in court, and Basil C.

Clare, assistant district attorney, represented the commonwealth. Couple Directed To Adjust Troubles Anthony Hromek and his wife, Jean, who lives in the 6900 block Clinton road, Upper Darby, were directed by Judge William R. Toal to visit the Family Society in Media, in an effort to compose their differences. Hromek pleaded guilty to assault and battery, which resulted when his wife called police to their home on June 28. Her husband punched her and made threats, Mrs.

Hromek said. Hromek pleaded "bad nerves," adding that his wife's alleged arguing aggravated his condition. Sentence was deferred, Judge Toal told Assistant District Attorney Ernest L. Green Jr. Man Jailed Years On Assault Charge A jail term of one to two years was the punishment imposed by Judge William R.

Toal on Benjamin Everett, of Lake Upland, when the man pleaded guilty to assault and battery. Everett's accuser was his wife, Lillian, who declared that she had been beaten when her husband came home after some drinking. Assistant District Attorney Paul JR. Sand presented the case to court. The Green Mountains of Vermont belong to the Appalachian Range.

i By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 18 and have been dating a boy of 21 for three years. He is in the Navy, and we want to get married the next time he comes in on leave. Since he will be in service for several years, it would mean that I would either stay here at home and work, as I am now doing, or go with him from one base to another. My mother neither encourages nor objects to my getting married, but everyone else is trying to talk me out of it. They say we are too young, and it wouldn't last, and find many other reasons why it would be a mistake, I think my boy friend and I are capable of adjusting to married life under all conditions.

Do you think we should listen to others, or should we do what we want and try to make a success of just live your life normally. fact is that when a boy sees that a girl doesn't go into a tftilspln when she loses a boy friend, but goes on having fun and good times with others, he is much more likely to get Interested In her again. Boys just don't like girls who are over-dependent on them, or who make a big fuss if the romance cools off. If you will do as I have suggested, I think I can promise you that In time you will'discover that this one particular boy doesn't matter to you so much any more and you won't really care whether he conies back or not. If he does, and you still want him, well and good; if he doesn't, you'll probably already be well on the way to finding another boy friend.

Dear Ordinarily, I feel that 18 is pretty young for a girl to take on the responsibilities of marriage, particularly under the sort of circumstances you describe. There are many serious difficulties to be met whether a young wife remains at home and puts in her time on a job, while waiting for the periods when her husband can be with her, or whether she travels about from one place to anotlter in order to be near him as much as possible. At the same time, I am keenly aware of the fact that these are not normal times, and hence, the ordinary rules do not always apply. Therefore, I would say that in your case, since you and this boy have been in close association for as long as three years, you should be able to judge for yourselves whether or not you can make a go of marriage, and you should be permitted to make your own decision. Since your mother makes no objection to your marriage my own feeling is that it is up to the two of you.

Dear Miss fairfax: My boy friend and I had been going steady for eight months when he called me up one night and, after telling me that he loved me very much, said he was sorry he couldn't see me the next night because he was going to be busy. So he made a date for the following night. When the night of our date came, he didn't show up and somehow I guessed what had had found another girl. What hurt me most was that he didn't tell me himself, I had to hear it from my best friends. Then, when he called me up and told- me about the other girl, but said he wanted me to be the one to break off with him.

I love him so much that I couldn't do it, so we parted just as friends. I wish him all the luck in the world with his new girl, but I want him back. We made so many plans, and now when I remember all the things he said to me, they hurt so much. Can't you tell me how I can win him A. S.

Dear A. The smart thing to do when your boy friend seems to have lost interest in you is to take it calmly and don 't let him think it bothers you too much. I don't mean that you should treat him coldly, or snub him when you happen to meet him, because that's one way of showing him that it really does bother you a lot. What I do mean is to go your own way, go out with other friends, whether you feel like it or not, and (Copyright 1952, King Feature Syndicate Inc.) CARUSO MUSIC CARUSO BROS.
