Fun Team Likes Comic Strips Abbott, Costello Get Ideas From Sunday Funnies Bud Abbott and Lou Costcllo, who arc co-starred in Universal's smash comedy, "Hold That Ghost," coming to the Saenger Theater Wednesday are two of the most ardent comic strip fans in Hollywood.

GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer feud between the President and Montana's "Battling Jurt" Wheeler has become the No. 1 political animosity of the battlestud- a led Roosevelt administration. It may urn out to be one of the classic ec enmities of American political history. Since the days when silk-stockinged Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton almost came to blows in the cabinet of President Washington, the voters have been stirred by history- shaping feuds of "big shot" politicos. Senator Wheeler, long a rough and tumble political fighter, has been the generally recognized leader the opposition in President Roosevelt's two most spotlighted the Supreme Court enlargement plan and over the country's war policies.

War, the threat of war and party splits have dramatized the nation' famous political antagonisms. Most these feuds have been between mem bers of the same party. One deprivec Maine's brilliant James G. Elaine of the Presidency. Secretary of State Jefferson and Secretary of the Treasury Hamilton frequently were on the verge of fisticuffs during cabinet controversies over the rights of the individual and the separate states as against those of the federal government, with Hamilton the proponent of a powerful central government.

Although Federalist Hamilton and Republican-Democrat Jefferson were said to have tried to remove each other from the cabinet, neither leader publicly indulged in rabid verbal onslaughts upon the other. Their duelling fist-fighting follwoers, however, tossed torrid invectives. Federalists for war against the France to which Jefferson was friendly, thus toasted the new President, John Adams: "To Adams, may he slay thousands of Frenchmen with the jawbone of Jefferson." Republican-Democrats called Hamilton "an English monarchy-loving Tory" and spread malicious stories of "his affair with a Mrs. Reynolds." The break between President Andrew Jackson and his vice president, John C. Calhoun, came in "an era of political hydrophobia." Calhoun resigned as vice president and won a seat in the senate where Old Hickory took a strong stand against States-Righter Calhoun held that if an act of congress seemed unconstitutional to a state, the latter might properly suspend or 'nullify' operation of the act within its juris- Edson in Washington Big Efforts Made for Little Business WASHINGTON If you don't times have changed, consider just two' angles of the Washington spectacle today: Big business men, Republicans nearly all, are working for the New Deal administration for a dollar a year; The Republican party, which sod to be oonslteod keep the customers interested amused." Act Is Modeled It was on this basic principle that i Abbott and Costcllo modeled their first vaudeville act, gradually developing the technique as time went on.

Finally, while appearing in a Broadway vaudeville theater, radio scout I "caught" their act and put them on the air. They've been soaring ever since.

It looks like the folks back home think the idea is all right.

Pickup flying is another of those jtorics of the "mail must go through" that have been popping up ever since the days when the pony express boys took then- scalps in their hands and pounded pell-mell through the Indian country. Pickup pilots have to fly low; pickups and delivery drops arc made from 60 to 75 feet off the ground. They lave to bo able to sec where they ire as near dead-center as possible between two poles, 60 feet apart. Given good weather, it's no trick at all; but gliding out of a murky 200 foot ceiling, with sighting your objective and heading for it a matter of seconds, is something else again. Undoubtedly, some of the pony express boys, were they still alive, would rather have Indians.

One legend has it that Jackson's dying words were: "I should have hanged Calhoun." Roscoe Conklin, Republican boss of New York, twice thwarted the popular James G. Elaine's attempts to win the G.G.P. presidential nomination. And when Elaine finally was nominated, Conkling's failure to support him prevented his election. The feud started while both were members of the House of Representatives.

On one occasion when Elaine was making a speech, Conkling interrupted him several times. The annoyed "plumed knight" said Conkling "strutted like a gobbler" and resembled "a singed cat." The New committee headed by Senator James E. Murray of Butte, appointed specifically to study problems of small business enterprises. It started work even before the defense effort got hot, but so far hasn't come up with anything very helpful.

Alluding to his selection of Taft as his successor in the White House, Teddy remarked: "It is a bad trait to bite the hand that feeds you." The Republican convention renom- inated Taft.

Paralleling this work is the effort of Sidney Hillman's labor division in OPM to keep up employment during the transition period and maintain a steady supply of labor for the expanding defense efforts. Both of these are positive steps to benefit the small business man, particularly the manufacturer, but they don't cover the problems of the little fellow who can lot get a piece of the defense pie. Broader in its scope, and likewise positive in its intention of actually loing something to help the small, or ndependent business man caught in the defense rush, will be the work of the new "small business unit'" now being set up in Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold's anti-trust division.

Arnold has just picked his man to head this unit in Guy Hoi- comb of Atlanta, Ga. and Delaware.

According to Representative Randolph, in that one year's time, the new airmail service has reached the point where it can be considered self-sustaining insofar as its direct cost to the government is concerned. The service, at present in the hands of All-American Aviation, of Wilmington, flew 693,727 miles 32,000 pickups and deliveries, without losing a single piece of mail or express and without any serious flying accident.
