More interesting to readers of today would be the diarist's commentary when he heard the news. Adams died in Massachusetts, and Jefferson in Virginia. The one-two news reports should have been impressive when heard at a resonable interval.

It certainly does not become Hollywood, nor anyone else, to use the Senate for its publicity purposes. But it is difficult to see that the following three news items represent anything but a Hollywood attempt to use the Senate for publicity purposes. Edward Arnold May Run hr U. S. Senate Hollywood, March 21 (AP) Edward Arnold, the actor, who plays a man running for senator in his most recent picture, said today he's considering running for the Republican nomination as U.

S. senator. He is "very flattered." he said, by the suggestion from Republican friends that he seek the office. Already in the race are the incumbent, Sheridan Downey, and Congress-woman. Helen Gahagan Douglas both Democrats; and Rep.

Richard Nixon, Republican. Edward Arnold to Run For Senate as G. O. F. Hollywood, March 23 (AP) Actor Edward Arnold, who recently played the rele of a senator in the movies, announced yesterday that he will file for the Republican nomination for the seat of Sen.

Sheridan Downey He had said previously that he was "considering" making the race. Edward Arnold NotAo Run Hollywood, March 28 (AP) Edward Arnold, an actor by trade, has decided he doesn't want to be a senator after all. A week after announcing he would file for the Republican nomination for United States Senator, Arnold who incidentally plays a senator in his current picture yesterday withdrew from the race. He said he didn't have time to prepare for the campaign. Even Senator Edwin C.

Johnson's recent statement that dope is being smuggled from Red China into Hollywood does not excuse this publicity stunt. Viruses are what cause some diseases, so everyone should be happy that army research biochemists have discovered an easy new way to get viruses in almost pure form. Pigeon-fanciers flew off the handle when they heard of the proposal to ban pigeons from privately owned lofts in New York state. The bill has now been pigeon-holed. Mr.

Billopp THE ACCOMPLICE How easy life would be if men did not have to devote so much time to trying to convince their wives they do not deliberately rip buttons off their shirts. If only they did not have to look around for tangible proof that they do not intentionally wear a shoe with a nail protruding from the heel so as to make a hole in a sock darned the week before. What labor they are put to in order to show that their cold is not the result of such foolish indiscretion as refusing to wear rubbers, standing bareheaded out of doors or taking similar chances contrary to advice. How much exhaustion of energy would be spared if they did not have to defend themselves against the charge that they race the engine of their automobile unnecessarily, use too rich a mixture of gas, shorten the life of the tires by putting on the brakes suddenly and, through sheer thoughtlessness, park their car where somebody will back into it and make unsightly dents in the fender. How they could conserve their strength if they were not forced to refute the accusation that the uneasy feeling in their middle is the direct result of eating indiscreetly, and if they were not called upon to account for their apparent inability to largt sums of money as other persons not half as bright and intelligent are supposed to do.

In short, what an asset it would be if women did not assume that husbands are guilty until they prove themselves innocent, that their sadistic nature impels them to give trouble to others, that they do not accent wise counsel and consequence are constantly committing costly errors. What might not men accomplish if, with the help of their wives, they were not on the defensive all the time and were allowed to carry the ball once in a while.

In the Golden Age at the University of Illinois Dink Trout was a leading campus comedian, rated with George Chandler, also of the movies, and Red Barnett. Dink was a little fellow, an accomplished musician and a gifted comedian, star of several campus operettas. On our first visit to New York we headed for Times Square because we had read that if anyone stands at 42nd and 'Broadway for a reasonable time, he'll see somebody he knows. While we were gawking on that corner we saw not only Dink Trout, but also Phil Porterfield, another Illini campus personage. Porterfield was singing in "The Co-canuts," starring the Marx Brothers.

Trout was playing in a New York orchestra. Later Trout went to Hollywood and had parts in several movies. He was a regular member of the cast of the Dennis Day radio show and played "Luke Spears" on the Lum 6c Abner show. We saw Dink Trout again at the 23th reunion of our graduating class in 1948. Dink was the comedian, as always, but we could not appreciate all his drolleries on account we handled the gavel, charged with responsibility for keeping the show rolling.

But he was a wow in "Tea Time in Tibet," a campus production of almost 30 years ago which featured songs still played and sung on the Illini campus. OF THIS Oh Yes AND THAT: Three cheers for the Herrin Homecoming committee which has decided that the 50th Anniversary celebration will be "without whiskers." If vigorous young males want to grow a full set for the celebration, there's no objection. But there will be no encouragement. After all, 50 years reach back to 1900, when whiskers had receded to mustaches, at best. Beth our grandfathers wore full beards and were called "Uncle Davey" and "Uncle Bill" when they were in their sixties.

Our Sire wore a handsome mustache which curled at the ends. When he came home one day without the mustache, the baby in the family accounted him a stranger and set up a terrific yowl. We were not too happy about the whole thing, despite the sophistication of our six years. On a day spring came in the office window one of our fellow workers from the building department came through the Ivory Tower squirting some scented stuff warranted to be good for what ails us. That was a couple of days ago, so it must have been harmless.

John Hersey's new novel 'The Wall" has valuted to the top of the fiction best sellers on The Times list, up from fourth a week, ago. In non-fiction "The Mature Mind" leads, but "The Baby" is creeping up and threatening to take over. Three of the top eight non-fiction titles are picture books. So hippety-hop to a candidates meeting sponsored by the League of Women Voters to have a look at the men all were men who seek our votes. Some of them were forthright, and for them cheers.

Others were artful dodgers and others, not so artful. There should be similar meetings throughout the state. The primary is less than a fortnight away. And to inspect the handsome new quarters of the Millikin bank, to meet old friends in Sunday best and eager to show us around, and home souvenirs for our young. IN A LETTER to the editor of the New York Times to take issue with a critic of her Times Magazine article, "Mrs.

Lincoln Revealed in a New Light," Ruth Painter Randall of Urbana writes of William H. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner and biographer: "Herndon has disarmed many by his repeated assertions that he loved the truth. He was sincere in this, always believing in whatever notion possessed him at the moment. He crusaded for truth as he did for temperance, and made a signal failure at achieving either." Plea for Information Toronto Star. Every citizen is entitled to vital informa tion about nationay security.

The advantages offered by a policy of frankness, in which all or most of the facts are given to the public, appear to far outweigh the advantages of secrecy. Washington, Ottawa and London cannot justify the steps being taken for defense by the various democratic governments without publishing the facts upon which those steps are based.

One publisher now brings out a cheaper paper-backed edition of a new book simultaneously with the regular trade edition. And soon we'll be getting the reprints before the original editions. Cant Help Worry Secretary of State Dean Acheson has told 27 members of' Congress that there is no cause for alarm because of British shipments of arms to the Arab states of the Near East. Friends of Israel in this country had become aroused by the British shipments, so much so that they persuaded the U.

S. State department to inquire of Britain concerning the shipments. Now Secretary Acheson says there is no cause for alarm, according to a spokesman for the congressional group. He says the British arms arc being sent to the Arabs to maintain a balance of power and not for aggressive purposes. But because of the British arms shipments, our State department is being asked to permit the shipment of additional arms to Israel.

And Secretary Acheson told the congressmen that two such applications are being considered. If they are allowed, they will doubtless be to maintain a balance of power and not for aggressive purposes. One cannot blame the Israeli for feeling apprehensive when they learn that the Arabs, against whom they have had to fight, are receiving shipments of arms. And the same will go for the Arabs, if they should hear that the Israeli are getting more arms from the United States. It will be difficult for both sides to persuade themselves that there Is no danger in such a well-armed balance of power.

It might be difficult for them to believe that they would be safe to wait and trust their armed neighbors. It would probably be especially difficult when the arms providers do not guarantee that those arms will not be used for aggressive purposes but to maintain a balance of power. After all the noise the admirals made last fall about the Navy being on its last legs, it comes as a distinct shock to read that the Navy now reports it went through 1949 with an all-time good healih record. The young woman in the next office read about fly-bynlght schools gypping the veterans and said that was a dirty way to treat fledglings. Gloomy Graduation June is coming, and with it another graduation of young men and women from college.

But thin year the outlook is not being painted in rosy hues for those prospective graduates. Instead, the experts arc painting gloomy and depressing scenes of the days that lie ahead. The U. S. Labor department is looking forward to the graduation of almost 500,000 men and women.

That is more than twice the number graduated in the largest pre-war class of 1940. And it will be added to the five million Americans who are currently unemployed. But it is not just the colleges that will be graduating job seekers into the employment market. The high schools will add their share, expected to be about 600,000 out of the total of 1,200,000 graduates (400,000 will go on to college; 200,000 girls will soon be married). And then to that will be added a further eO.OOO who will drop out of high school cr college to look for work.

Total: An additional 1,703,000 looking for work. The result, says the Department of Labor, is expected to produce "the tightest job pic- 24.95 AFTER SALE SAVE NOW I CHOICE 4C if Each Quality-built, 5-speed mixer does al! mixing Jobs; juices, too saves time, work.
