Dozen Teams Active 12 teams are divided into sub-groups under sponsorship of the University of California Cancer Research Committee, southern section, the California Institute for Cancer Research and the Jewish Fund for Medi cal Research. Yesterday while a summer sun flooded a clean, clear sky, Carole Landis was carried to her final resting place. The services were simple and brief. The blond, beautiful 29-year-old actress lay in a pink satin half couch casket on the altar.

She was dressed in filmy white and pale blue.

We sort of figure this town Las had enough. SHELL SHOCK A lot of us were under the impression, when we departed after duly, immortalizing the choice of Messrs.

Dewey and Warren, that we were giving Philadelphia three weeks in which to go back to tatting and discussing the handwriting of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, which, as we understood it, were the normal occupations here. We return to find, to our horror, that the City of Brotherly Love has been on one long rip-snorting tear ever Eince. Only a day or so ago the Elks got through playing checkers with the paving blocks on Broad St We have returned to find the once happy elevator girls at the Ritz eyeing lis with an inhospitable glare tnd obviously suppressing a burning desire to tell us where to go. BLAME You might think that we reporters could dodge the blame. After all, it's the delegates who blow horns and parade and stay up all night ordering food they're never going to eat on account they're too busy drinking, as the bellboy put it.

But not so. The bleary-eyed hotel employees hate everybody and with considerable reason. They presumably feel that the delegates wouldn't act to giddy if we didn't give them so much publicity. And. of course, the worst is not yet after the Democrats get through and go heme Henry Wallace and his wild-eyed hallelujah chorus are coming.

On that one, gents I pass! PREPARATION'S The Phila-delphians, you'll be interested to hear, are groggy but game. When you roll into the 30th St. station of the Pennsylvania and come up to the street level you see a huge sign that bids you welcome to tlie Democratic convention. If you look closely you can see the stitching which, a few weeks back, held a strip of canvas with the word "Republican" where it now says "Democratic" Frugal these Philadelphians! The menagerie has changed a little. The Elks have followed the Republican elephants into retirement and now you see Democratic donkeys everywhere.

What they're going to put up for Henry Wallace, I haven't found out. PROSPECTS As you have no doubt gleaned from other deathless oddments of literature in this paper, the Democrats are all set to put on one of their better performances. Most of them are so mad at each other that they probably haven't noticed the way the long-suffering Philadelphians hate the sight of them. The Alabama delegates are here, pledged as follows: "We will not.cast our electoral votes for Harry S. Truman for President.

If the Philadelphia convention adopts? a program hostile to the fundamental principles on which our civilization is based, or nominates a candidate who advocates such hostile principles, we will not cast our votes for the nominee of that convention but will cast our electoral votes for some other Democrat who understands and sympathizes with the peculiar racial problems of the South If under the leadership of Truman the national party attempts to nullify the Constitution of our State (prescribing segregation) and to crucify the South, the Democratic Party of Alabama owes it no allegiance We can and will take back our influence the Democratic Party of which we were wrongfully deprived. There are other delegations here with somewhat similar legal leg Irons on their activities. And there are plenty who are Just sore on general principles the way politicians sometimes get.
