NAWSA GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE Paige, Mabeth H. 490 Henkel Circle Winter Park, Florida November 17 1960 Dear Edna; I was very much interested in your letter about Mrs. Park and I shall look forward to seeing that article in the C.S. Monitor about the book. It has not come. How wonderfully Mrs. McCormick has helped us during the years. She is a grand woman. I hope that you will send me Judge Allan's speech. How fine it is that husbands can help us in our work. I remember that my life in the Legislature was much happier because of my husband's cooperation Miss Geitz has not arrived yet but will be here soon. The Crosbys have come. Yes, I was disturbed about the election but had to take it. Affectionately yours, 25 Dell Place Minneapolis 4, Minnesota October 2, 1946 Dear, Mrs. Park: I am not clear as to whether you were to move in October or November but I am sure you are awfully busy in the anticipation of leaving Maine. It makes me lonesome to think of it even. When I got home, I found that my intimate friends had already begun the preliminaries of the Stassen For President Campaign. I do not know whether you have made up your mind completely as to whether you were going to support Stassen. I hope you are. I am enclosing a recent speech of his and should be glad to have a reply stating your position. My own feeling, after having worked with him before and during his three years as Governor of Minnesota, is that he is the greatest statesman I have ever met. He has vigor of thought and body and is true to his convictions which are all of a high order politically as a progressive Republican. I think that the article in Harper's of last spring and the Alsop article in a recent Saturday Post gave a very good idea of the man and his background. Hoping to hear that you have thought about this matter and are prepared to give Stassen your support, I am, Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige Mrs Paige had a cerebral failure in February in Winter Park Florida April 1961 Mrs. James Paige 490 Henkel Circle Winter Park, Florida Mrs. Paige appreciates your thinking of her and wants you to know that it means a great deal to her to be remembered by her friends. 25 Dell Place Minneapolis, Minnesota July 18, 1960 Dear Edna: It was very nice to get the report of the Woman's Archives. I read carefully the marked article about Mrs. Park's collection. I did not make any contribution but if you think a small one from me is desirable, please let me know. I was wondering why your name did not appear on the advisory or Consultant Boards. I suppose now you are in Martha's Vineyard and are having a lovely pleasant summer, and I should like to know what your's and Mr. Stantial's plans are for the fall and winter. I enjoyed your friend who comes to Winter Park, and I hope to see more of her next season. I don't know how you stand on politics, but how did the Democratic Convention affect you? Being a Republican, I shall watch the next few weeks with a great deal of interest. How wonderful it is to have a television. I have been to several of the National Conventions, and so appreciate the pleasure of sitting in the parlor and looking at one in peace and quietness. My daughter has just made me a visit, so I feel caught up on my family, and while I do not expect to go East this summer, I feel quite contented with my lot. With love and best wishes. Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige 25 Dell Place Minneapolis, Minnesota October 3, 1960. Dear Edna: I am enclosing check towards the expenses of Judge Allen in coming to Mrs. Park's Memorial Meeting. It is a fine idea. When the book is ready, I should like to buy one. Perhaps you will autograph it. I am glad you had the pleasure of Miss (Mrs) Geitze's company this summer. She is a fine woman, and I think that she will be quite happy at Barron Hall, for the boarders there are lovely. I have met Mrs. Crosby, and long to talk to her more about Cuba. I am glad you had a nice visit with the grand-children this summer. I did not know that Gladys Harrison was writing the biography of Marguerite Wells, but I think she will do a good one, as she is very careful. We expect to start for Winter Park on the 27th, and I shall always be glad to hear from you. Thank you for the elderberry jelly. It is my favorite jelly, and I especially appreciate your making and sending it to me. Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige Dec 1. 1958 Dear Edna: My delicious jelly has just come via Mrs. Dietz [Gu?] whom I think I shall enjoy having for a friend. She told me tales of you which only amplify the wonderful things Mrs. Park used to say about you, among them that you were sufficient compensation for the loss of her beautiful view in Maine. It was simply perfect that she could have you, especially in those last sad years when she was losing her memory. My youngest granddaughter, Phoebe, is married to Robin [Neesham?], a Britisher, and they live in Calgary, Alberta, and are simply crazy about the scenery. I now have two great grandchildren and the oldest of the three Maisie Donald lives in Acton Center, Mass and has just begun the general practice of medicine there. She expects a baby in Jan. Much love and many thanks for the jelly especially the elderberry one. My warm regards to Mr Stantiel, Mabeth paige. 490 Henkel Circle Winter Park, Florida March 23 1960 Dear Edna, I was pleased to get your letter of the 16th. The Misses Loines are both in Greece right now and I don't know when they will get your letter. Their mother was a great suffragist in Brooklyn. Thank you for sending me this letter of Dr. Bass's about my sister Dr. Mead. Everything is a usual here. I haven't been quite as we as usual on on account of having had a fall which broke nothing but shook me up. Lovingly yours, Mabeth Paige I haven't seen Miss [Geitz] for ages but will call her wh- 490 HENKEL CIRCLE WINTER PARK, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 17 1960 Dear Edna; I am sending back "Susan B." and thank you very much for the pleasure of reading it. I notice that in one place, on page 137 I think, she spoke of the "elect" of Harvard and I suppose she meant the "elite." Then in the back part of the book, she spoke of burning buffalo bones for fuel which is ridiculous. They used to burn commonly buffalo chips which were buffalo dung. This burned very well but buffalo bones will not burn. I thought as long as you were doing some correcting, I would do a little. I am enjoying Miss Geitz very much/although I don't see her as often as I should like to. Let me know about your work whenever you can spare the time to write me. I want to tell you how much I am enjoying the jellies you sent me from there. They are delicious and much nicer than those the I buy. It was so kind o you to send them. Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige 490 HENKEL CIRCLE WINTER PARK, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 10 1960 Dear Edna; Your letter of January 26 has not been sufficiently answered. You ask about Mrs. John Lee of 663 West Comstock Avenue in Winter Park. I remember when Mrs. Shaw was active financially in the Equal Suffrage Association and I will see if I can find out who this one is. I am returning "Susan B. Anthony" in a few days. I have not enjoyed anything so much in a long time as I have that book. Not knowing Lucy Stone and her husband as you do, I could not take sides but I thought the/whole book was tremendously interesting. I was in hopes that Miss Geitz would be interested in discussing it but I guess she was not on the inside as we were. I do, however, enjoy Miss Geitz and wish I could see more of her. I shall be so glad to see the book when it comes out but we have quite a little while to wait. I am afraid you will feel rather cut off when you move to Martha's Vineyard. Lovingly yours, Mabeth Paige Thank you many times for the beautiful picture of Mrs Park Paige 25 DELL PLACE MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA June 12, 1958. Dear Edna: Thank you for your good letter just received. I am distressed about the news from the New England Hospital. I am glad you are not resigning, because this condition will probably be cured. I hope you will not do anything drastic with regard to diverting the funds for the hospital to a Woman's Medical Foundation. It may be that the present situation will be cured, and the man gotten rid of, and [the] woman appointed. By letting go now, the hospital is in danger of being lost entirely for the benefit of women and children. It is certainly a serious problem. I am so sorry that Mrs. McCormick is planning so soon to give her annual contribution elsewhere. It would be very sad to lose that hospital, and it looks to me as tho its friends were leaving it undefended. I am glad to hear again from Mrs. Erwin. I should like to see Mr. Stantial's roses. I do not expect to go to Mayberry Hill this year. I gave up going because of the lack of medical services in the vicinity, but I have since heard from Norway, Maine that they have nine doctors and a fine hospital in the neighborhood, and would like to have me change my mind and come back to Maine this year. The letter from the Doctor was instigated by my very efficient and friendly plumber in Norway. It seems a long time since Mrs. Park was with me, but we did have one beautiful week together in [?asa?]: I know that you knew her as I did at her very best, which was peerless. So Mrs. Geitz has gone back. I hope she will come next year, and that I shall see more of her. My daughter has returned to Washington from [Formoso?] and will probably make me a little visit later in the season. My granddaughter, Mary, is now a M.D. and is waiting until her husband is settled in his business, so that she will know where to locate as a physician. Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige 490 HENKEL CIRCLE WINTER PARK, FLORIDA December 16 1959 Dear Edna; It was nice that you could write me such a good letter for Christmas. Miss Geitz did tell me about your lovely new home. I must ask her about your children. I am pleased to know that the Deacon Press has started Mrs. Park's book and I am glad that you were able to clear up the difficulties in the manuscript even though it took such a long time. You know I am a friend who can never give very much money but I shall be glad to enclose a little check, and of course, I shall buy one of the books when it is finished. I hoped that Mrs. McCormick would be able to help more. Perhaps she will. I do not know of anybody left in Minneapolis who could make a contribution. Marguerite Wells was always generous but she is now gone. I agree with you that it is a strange thing for people who are against a certain thing on principle not to stay on and fight for their beliefs. No, I haven't read "Susan B. Anthony" and I should like to borrow it. I knew Bertha Lutz who lived in Brazil. It seems hard for you to be giving up your Melrose house but I don't know anything about conditions at the other home. It seems remote to me, whereas Melrose is cosy and near Boston. Thank you for your messages and I shall try to see Miss Geitz as often as possible. Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige I had a lovely call w Miss G Thursday. Feb 21 1959 Dear Edna: I have written Mr Ueland and think he will come across with a gift in memory his mother. No, I got no memorial book from the C C Catt fund - It doesn't matter- Mr Arnulf Ueland is a bank president and Sigurd an attorney- Love M H Paige 490 Henkel Circle Winter Park Fla-- Dear Edna: I hope you sent Mr Ueland a copy of Mrs. Roosevelt's statement and Mrs Park's book. The Uelands are very devoted Democrats. It is so wonderful that we have you to carry on - I know what M W P always thought of your exceptional ability and am very grateful to you for your will to use it. [?Apply?--] M H.P FD.L Mrs Mary Stantial 21 Ashmont St Melorse 76, Mass Mrs Mary Stantial 21 Ashmont St Mirose 76 Mass 490 HENKEL CIRCLE WINTER PARK, FLORIDA January 10 1959 Dear Edna; I received your letter and enclosures. Miss Marguerite Wells has been for some years completely gone mentally, ^(emily) and I think it was nice of Florence Ireys, her sister, to send you the hundred dollars. Florence herself has a great deal o money, left her by her husband, and the appeal to her might bring some response although she has not been intellectually and politically Marguerite's equal, nor has she been interested so deeply in the things that her sister loved. I have been enjoying Miss Geitz very much. Yes, Miss Elma and Hilda Loines are great friends of mine. I see them often and was pleased to think that you recommended me to them. Congratulations for what you have done for Mrs. Parks' book. I noted what you wrote about the Gatt Memorial Fund and hope that it will respond. You know, by inference anyway, that I cannot be a big contributor to anything but I shall be glad to send fifty dollars and be one of your group. It sounds like a very good plan. Affectionately yours, Malevich Paige 25 DELL PLACE MINNEAPOLIS 4. MINNESOTA February 4, 1948 Dear Mrs. Stantial, I have marked up this list. Some of the people have died and some have moved away. In addition, it might be that one of Mrs. Ueland's sons might be interested in making a contribution for her -- Mr. Arnulf Ueland, c/o Midland National Bank, or Mr. Sigurd Ueland, 3832 Richfield Avenue, Minneapolis. I suggested that the Misses Burr, at the same address as Mrs. Jane Humbird Burr, might probably like to contribute in memory of their mother. A general letter to them would be sufficient. Mrs. Banning is a noted author and very often writes for the Saturday Evening post on governmental subjects, although she is primarily a novelist. I think the tif you remark in your general letter somewhat as follows, "You have been in the past a good friend and contributor to ____________, and we thought that this project would especially appeal to you on that account." I will mark a letter "P" against the people whom I would not care to have you mention my name. The fact is that I am touching these people every once in a while and some of them have recently given me some money, so I don't like to approach them quite so soon again. I wrote Mrs. Park yesterday about your visit in June. I shall be looking forward with great pleasure to it. Sincerely, Malevich H Paige. MHP:J March 9, 1959 Dear Edna: How nice that you see Mrs Stanley McCormick! Do tell me how she is. I never hear from anybody in that family that was so and near and dear to me (except from Gordon McCormick several times a year). I think you are right about the manuscript. It is sure to become increasingly valuable as a reference book as the years go on and no mere man editor April 15, 1959 My dear Edna; With regard to Mr Neland: I think it is useless to write him again unless you should write him that you regret very much that he has not responded favorably to your statement and request regarding the Blackwell memorial. I wrote him as well as I could and he is a Norwegian Neland and not [unavailable] after his decision is made which it evidently is. He did not reply to me at all and I was surprised at that. would know what to cut. Mrs Wilson is a very fine woman and really interested. They have good wide avenues of publicity. Perhaps Mrs Wilson has died. If so I do not know that Mr Wilson has such deep loyalty to the 'women's movement'. Judge Allan's tribute was fine. I am glad to hear of the Mass appointment to the state supreme bench - women seem to be fitting in to the picture more naturally now. If you decide to raise more money I can probably scrape a little up and will be glad to. Lovingly yours Mabeth Paige You can probably get the remaining $800 with out very much difficulty in small donations and it will take time and you do so much and so generously that I feel very guilty not to do more. I am glad to know that you have bought a new house at the Vineyard and that spring is coming there. Summer has arrived here - I am sorry to have Mr. [Stantial?] retire. Thank you for the good letter and for sending me Miss Geitz. Lovingly yours Mabeth Paige 490 HENKEL CIRCLE WINTER PARK, FLORIDA November 19 1959 Dear Edna; How surprised I was when Miss Geitz came in the other day with a bag of delicious jellies! It is years and years since I have tasted beech plum jelly and that unmistakable brought back many thoughts of earlier days in Newburyport. I happened to have company the night it came and they had never had beech plums and thought the jelly was delicious. [*Thank you very much.*] Let me know what you are doing. I shall see Miss Geitz again soon and find out what I can from her. She is very nice indeed and I enjoy having her as a friend. I think she isn't particularly liking her apartment/this year but it was the best she could do. Lovingly yours, [*Macbeth H Paige*] MRS. JAMES PAIGE MAYBERRY HILL CASCO, MAINE Sept 2 1944 Dear Mrs Stantial: I was sorry not to get in touch with you before going to the Suffrage exhibition. I knew after mailing the letter to you that the street number was wrong. However, My daughter decided very suddenly that she had to spend Wednesday night in Newbury port and as that was exactly what I wanted to do I went with her and we both drove to Boston the next day and I thought it would be the last opportunity I should have to go in such an easy way. I was delighted with the exhibition and its setting and can not say enough in praise of the neat and convenient way in which the files are arranged and catalogued. A Miss Schuman in the Library took me over to Longfellow Hall and left me with the request that I would lock the outer door of room 103 and bring the key back to her. She was extremely kind and I told her I should tell you how helpful she had been. The exhibits are so well arranged that I did not need any help in viewing it. The room is pretty and harmonious and I think women all over the country will be proud of it. It was a lovely day and there were lots of girls in the yard and the window is beautiful in itself. This added to the charm and appropriatness of the scene. This kind of thing is unique and will be an increasing aid to students. I believe it is very worth while. As I had been a devoted suffragist for many years the exhibit was peculiarly appealing to me. Hoping that you will be feeling much better soon I am Cordially yours [*Macbeth Hund Paige.*] Mrs. Maude Wood Park Cape Cottage, Maine My dear Mrs. Park: I am very much pleased to have received a "guide" of the Woman's Rights Collection. It is beautifully gotten up and I shall keep it among my treasured souvenirs. I love the picture of you, which is the front piece. Mrs. Blackall's letter is very informing and is the only definite news I have had of the affair. I shall always have a regret that I could not be there to participate in the opening of the collection. I hope that you are busy with interesting things and that the winter will be an enjoyable one and full of accomplishment. Elizabeth has now left Casco, where she and the children have been practically all summer, and gone to live in her new home at 380 Danforth Street. This will be, at least, respectable, some time, I hope but with the restrictions upon building and repairing, I don't know how long it will be before she can get the place put in good order. Meanwhile, I am worried about the heating arrangements, which have not been attended to. In these northern climates, heat is so important that it is the very first thing that I consider when fixing up a residence. Elizabeth seems to have regarded it as of secondary importance, but I hope she will be able to find a heating man to fix up the place properly as regards winter heat. When you have time, drop me a line - even on a postal card. I shall be glad to know in general what your plans for the winter are. Affectionately yours, Mabeth Paige January 24. 2944 My dear Mrs. Park: I had a lovely visit with Rena Smith recently. She said she would write you and would take the matter over with you be correspondence. I think there should undoubtedly be something written and preserved about Mrs. Gardner. If this is not attended to now, her name as a suffragist and pioneer woman official will be lost to the world. In talking the matter over with Vivien Thorp, she said she never liked memorial volumes but liked scholarships and things of that sort. I told her we had to have something somewhere descriptive of this lovely woman for the benefit of future generations. Lovingly yours, Mabeth Paige Emily Kneubuhl and Mabeth Hurd Paige They worked for suffrage - expect women to vote Charter Champions Veteran Campaign Team Banks on Womanpower by Sally Luther Minneapolis two veterans of the battle for women's suffrage are campaigning again. Ebullient Emily KneuBuhl, a "Woodrow Wilson" Democrat, and prudent Mabeth Hurd Paige, a regular Republican, are making use of every minute until March 24 to bring the power of the city's women behind the new charter for Minneapolis. "If you want something to get around, you tell a woman," Emily KneuBuhl likes to say, with a quick grin. On that thesis she successfully conducted the Cincinnati, Ohio, charter campaign in 1924. Nor did she underestimate the power of a woman when she directed the charter reform campaign in Rochester, N. Y. in 1928, again successfully. her terms at the state capitol in St. Paul she initiated, nurtured and saw passed numerous reform measures, especially concerning public welfare, minimum working standards and civil service. She won the respect of her male colleagues and fame for her "campaign hat," and she gave Minnesota women inspiration and example of what can be achieved by women in politics. STUMPED FOR SUFFRAGE Though of opposing parties, the two women have always cast their votes for the principles of good government. "That's why we're campaigning together again today," they say. But they waste no time reminiscing about suffrage talks they delivered from Minneapolis Sunday Tribune March 14, 1948 Women's New Theaters Travel Art Music Books Legislator Mabeth Paige wore this campaign hat when she was first elected to the state legislature, where she served for 22 years. As co-director of the current get-out-the-vote charter campaign, she has planned a mammoth mass meeting to be held Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Armory. CHARTER CAMPAIGNS are nothing new to Emily KneuBuhl, who looked like this when she put over the famous Cincinnati city manager plan in 1924. lient Emily KneuBuhl, a "Woodrow Wilson" Demo-crat, and prudent Mabeth Hurd Paige, a regular Republican, are making use of every minute until March 24 to bring the power of the city's women behind the new charter for Minneapolis. "If you want something to get around, you tell a woman," Emily KneuBuhl likes to say, which a quick grin. On that thesis she successfully conducted the Cincinnati, Ohio, charter campaign in 1924. Nor did she underestimate the power of a woman when she directed the charter reform campaign in Rochester, N. Y., in 1928, again successfully. And right now, with 14, 434 minutes to go before Minneapolis decides "yes" or "no" on the proposed new city charter, she is once again putting her chips on womanpower. The number of minutes is a KneuBuhlism. She counts them so she won't waste them. Every minute represents a work unit to Miss KneuBuhl, which helps explain how she became a national figure in suffrage movement, and how later she helped organize and direct new women voters through the League of Women Voters. EXPERT ON GOVERNMENT It helps explain how she served as teacher and principal in the Minneapolis school system for many years, how she became an authority on municipal government, how she can count-but never has-23 lines in "Who's Who," under KneuBhul, Emily-civic work." Most important, it explains how, together with Mrs. Paige, she has been able to marshal the energies of 1,079 volunteer block and precinct workers to support the new charter on a door-to-door campaign basis. "The new charter represents the change of a century for Minneapolis to get its house in order," she says earnestly. And in this she gets a wise and quiet second from Mrs. Paige. Mrs. Paige, also, was long active and ardent in the cause of women's suffrage. In 1920 when the "great day" came, she immediately set to work to awaken women to the responsibilities entailed in their newly won right. In 1922 she took the long leap, entering the political field herself to run for the stat legislature. She was elected and subsequently re-elected, for 22 years of service. Having been a member of the Minnesota State Bar in 1900, she came to her new public job with what might then have been called unwomanly courage. In especially concerning public welfare, minimum working standards and civil service. She won the respect of her male colleagues and fame for her "campaign hat," and she gave Minnesota women inspiration and example of what can be achieved by women in politics. STUMPED FOR SUFFRAGE Though of opposing parities, the two women have always cast their votes for the principles of good government. "That's why we're campaigning together again today," they say. But they waste no time reminiscing about suffrage talk they delivered from open cards. Or about the time they primped with a curling iron to look devastatingly smart when they approached a Des Moines industrialist for a League of Women Voters contribution. "In those days all men thought suffragettes were dowdy," Miss KneuBuhl recalls. With only 14,434 minutes to go, Emily KneuBuhl and Mabeth Paige are operating with enormous and concentrated energy that overwhelms the uninitiated who may wander into the throbbing charter headquarters at 84 Sixth street S. "Right now it's the big mass meeting we want to emphasize," Miss KneuBuhl told me pleasantly but speedily. "That's going to be Tuesday night, March 16, at the Armory at 8 p.m. Mrs. Paige and Mrs. Eugene Burgess are in charge of arrangements. The woman's touch, you know. And then, there'll be talks by Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Goslin, and Cedric Adams will be master of ceremonies. "Once we put the mass meeting over, our workers will start getting information to every housewife in the city, telling why the new charter will bring good government into Minneapolis and why the old one has to go." She paused for breath and Mrs. Paige took over. FEMININE FACTOR "That's correct. The block workers-and the men and women of the speakers bureau who are giving an average of a dozen fine talks a day-are explaining the issues to the citizens of Minneapolis," she said. "People in politics know that the determining factor in the election of the president of the United States has been the women," Miss KneuBuhl interjected enthusiastically. "Now we say that the determining factor in the charter election March 24 can be the women. Now if you'll just start in here you can stuff these 5,000 envelopes in no time . . ." I would never have got back to the office if the boss hadn't called to see where the story was. CHARTER CAMPAIGNS are nothing new to Emily KneuBuhl, who looked like this when she put over the famous Cincinnati city manager plan in 1924. "AS OUDATED AS A BUSTLE." sings Marilyn Dean in a number which will enliven the charter mass meeting Tuesday. ALL AGES are involved in the woman-powered door-to-door drive.

MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY TRIBUNE W Mar. 14, 1948 ABOUT TOWN Hospital Fire Kindles Memory of Fitzgeralds Tragically in the news again is the name of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who in the early 1920's was the talented spokesman of the jazz era and the creator of the heroine of that age-the flapper. Fitzgerald's widow, Mrs. Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, 50, lose her life in the Highland hospital fire in Asheville, N.C., Wenesday. Fitzgerald died in 1940 in Hollywood at the untimely age of 44. Fitzgerald was a literary sensation all over the country and he and his young wife-she was from Montgomery, Ala., the daughter of a former Alabama supreme court justice-were the center of a gay and fashionable crowd in St. Paul after his first book, "This Side of Paradise," was published in 1920. A best seller, it was peopled with Twin Cities personalities. From then on he brought out a best seller every year until 1925, when he wrote "The Great Gatsby," now considered by critics his greatest work. The Fitzgeralds lived in St. Paul for a few years, then moved to New York, lived in Paris and in Bridgeport, Conn., where they bought a country home. Their daughter, "Scottie" (Frances Scott Fitzgerald), was born in St. Paul and is now married-she's Mrs. Samuel J. Lanahan-and living in New York. Like her father, she's a talented writer and is on the staff of the New Yorker magazine. Mrs. Fitzgerald was also a writer and collaborated with her husband in magazine articules and was the author of a novel, "Save Me the Waltz," published in 1932. When she suffered a nervous breakdown and went into a nursing home, Fitzgerald went to Hollywood to write for the moving pictures. Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul. His parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fitzgerald. Mrs. Fitzgerald (Mary McQuillan) belong to a pioneer St. Paul family. When Fitzgerald went to St. Paul academy, a former classmate, Larry Boardman, St. Paul, remembers that he wrote plays for a dramatic society he organized-the Elizabethans. At college he wrote plays for the Princeton Triangle club. He left college in 1917 to join the army. After his discharge, he worked in advertising in New York for a short time, then came back to St. Paul with his bride. He rewrote "This Side of Paradise," three times before it clicked with the publishers. "Flappers and Philosophers," "The Beautiful and the Damned" (another sensation), "Tales of the Jazz Age," "The Great Gatsby" and "All the Sad Young Men," followed in rapid order. After that there was a lapse MYSTERY CONCONTION-Junior Leaguers Mmes. William A. Wilkinson, Sterling S. Graham and Daniel J. Moos (left to right) trying out for parts in the league's play project, "Rumpelstiltskin," make it realistic, but good. The play will be given April 17 at the Woman's club assembly and later will be trouped to public schools. Rehearsals are under way. until "Tender as the Night" came out in 1934 and "Taps at Reveille" a year later. His last novel, "The Great Tycoon," was unfinished at the time of his death. Home From California Geraldine Bros, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Bros, Orono, Lake Minnetonka, returned Friday from California. Geraldine drove west in January with Betty Lou Brossy of Detroit, Mich. They visited Miss Brossy's grandmother in Los Angeles and motored to different parts of the state. They also went to Phoenix, Ariz. Geraldine visited a former Northrop school classmate, Mrs. Dudley Smith, the former Dorothy Barnes. The Smiths and their one-year-old son, Dudley, Jr., have a house in La Conada, near Pasadena. "It's a lovely place and you can imagine how much fun it is for a former Minneapolis girl to have flowers blooming in her garden in March," reports Geraldine. Fishing Trip "Bring hot weather clothers" was the advise James Chandler Park got when he called friends in Macon, GA., to make plans for a fishing trip there. So he packed up summer gear and will fly to Georgia today to spend his spring vacation from the university of Minnesota. . . . . He is a son of Mrs. A. E. Gaucher, 1123 Mt. Curve avenue.

After his discharge, he worked in advertising in New York for a short time, then came back to St. Paul with his bride. He rewrote "This Side of Paradise," three times before it clicked with the publishers. "Flappers and Philosophers," "The Beautiful and the Damned" (another sensation), "Tales of the Jazz Age," "The Great Gatsby" and "All the Sad Young Men," followed in rapid order. After that there was a lapse Fishing Trip "Bring hot weather clothes" was the advice James Chandler Park got when he called friends in Macon, Ga., to make plans for a fishing trip there. So he packed up summer gear and will fly to Georgia today to spend his spring vacation from the University of Minnesota. . . . . He is a son of Mrs. A. E. Gaucher, 1123 Mt. Curve avenue. Mrs. F. W.

Now when those unexpected guests drop in all she has to do is pick up the telephone. In about an hour a hot meal goes on the table- via one of Minneapolis' cooked food delivery services. The whole process involves nothing more strenuous than the original dialing motion and the opening of the cardboard cartons. For the more formally inclined, the food can be transferred to plates. From there on, it's dinner as usual. Oven-to-you men declare that unexpected guests are only one minor reason for the popularity of the new business. ''Maybe it's been a hard day. Or the wash was extra big. Or,'' they decide, ''Maybe she's just tired. And doesn't feel like cooking. That's where we come in.'' And come in they do, literally. Some drivers don't stop with just delivering the meals. Once the diners were wheel chair invalids, so the driver just set the dinner up for them before going his way. And often they find the children whose parents are out are the a la carte diners. Parents do the ordering and leave, knowing the youngsters will have a hot meal. At first, chicken, barbecued ribs and chow mein were the only menu choices. Now several seafood items have been included in many of the businesses. With most of these main dishes come french fries and salad. In some places, desserts can be ordered extra. In fact, a few of the services will supply nearly anything a costumer wishes-within reason. A customer called one day. She wanted one fried chicken a loaf of bread and a pie. It developed that she was stranded at home without transportation in bad weather. She wanted to have extra bread on hand for breakfast toast. P.S. She got what she asked for, and has since become a steady customer. Some patrons order several times a week. They're the kind, explains one manager, who hate to eat out, but don't like to come home and cook dinner either. Residents of small hotels, business girls and office managers ordering for the whole force during staff meetings are among the frequent customers. In Minneapolis this service is provided by Dial 'N Dine, 104 W. Lake street; Phone and Feast, 426 Sixth avenue S., and Pickup Pantry, 2539 Hennepin avenue. Mrs. Amanda Phillips to Observe Birthday Mrs. Amanda Phillips, 1329 Yale place, will be honor guest at an open house to be given March 21 by her daughters, Mrs. Wendell W. Ziegler, Navarre, Lake Minnetonka, and Mrs. W. N. Swanson, 4949 Twenty-ninth avenue S. in celebration of her 75th birthday anniversary. Hours will be from 4 to 7 p.m. No cards have been issued. PTA NOTES ADAMS PTA has canceled the meeting scheduled for this week. AUDUBON PTA will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Michael J. Dillon, county attorney, will discuss ''Mr. District Attorney in Fact and Fiction.''

Young-Quinlan Gown Shop, Second Floor Minneapolis Sunday Tribune Upper Midwest Section MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1948 HOWARD ASSAILS BONNER ON CHARTER SAYS RULING ERRS ON LAW Insists $1,760 Bill for Printing Is Illegal By RICHARD P. KLEEMAN Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Charles B. Howard, chairman of Minneapolis charter commission, Saturday attacked City Attorney John Bonner's contention that a 1947 statute authorized publication of the proposed new city charter in Minneapolis Labor Review. Howard charged Friday that a city council grant of $1,760 to the official organ of AFL Central Labor union was a "misappropriation" of funds. As a weekly, the Labor Review could not be an official city publication, Howard pointed out. Bonner had said he had found a 1947 law which authorized publication of charters and such documents in a publication other than the official one. "There's nothing whatever to that statement. There is not 1947 law which even remotely resembles that," Howard declared yesterday. He added that what Bonner probably referred to is a 1945 statute which permits publication of charter amendments in "any other legal newspaper published and located in the city." But, Howard pointed out, Bonner has argued before both the state supreme court and county district courts that the charter proposal is not an amendment but an entire new charter. Bonner's only comment yesterday was that the law he referred to "might be a 1945 law--but it's somewhere." Asked if he was certain the council was on sound legal ground in voting the $1760 to the labor paper, Bonner replied: "A person is never sure of anything, but I'm quite certain they haven't overstepped the bounds of legality." Most aldermen defended the action, although at least nine admitted they had not been aware it had taken place. The original publication in the Labor Review was authorized at the Feb. 27 council meeting, on a motion by Alderman Harold Kauth. The motion authorized the printing in the labor paper in addition to the official publication in Finance and Commerce. The Finance and Commerce publication, it was disclosed yesterday, was paid for at the official publication rate, increased by the 1947 legislature. Total cost was $514.92 for the official publication, some copies in type of a different size, and 500 additional copies. The Labor Review apparently charged for its publication at the standard advertising rate, although the printing in the March 4 edition was not labeled a paid advertisement. According to Minnesota Stand- N. D. TAKES TO AIR--With head-high drifts blocking most areas around Grand Forks, N. D., farmers and residents of isolated communities are using airplanes to carry on essential business. Arthur Brusegaard, right, former army flight instructor, receives a box of groceries from Paul Bry, preparatory to a mercy flight. A telephone call--Grand Forks 602-- sends one of the area's 28 planes into action. BANDIT SLUGS OWNER, GETS $40 IN STORE A man walked into the electrical shop at 905 Cedar avenue Saturday, pulled a blackjack and hit the proprietor, Isaac Wittels, three times. "Give me your money or I'll kill you," the robber said. Wittels handed over $40. He was treated for head cuts at General hospital. sociation, the page rate for the labor organ is $280. The charter printing occupied five and one-half pages, which would have made total cost $1,540. The additional $220 apparently was for composing costs. Howard said he does not expect to bring legal action in his own name to stop the city's payment of the $1,760, but that discussions are under way of the possibility of such action by another taxpayer. Meanwhile, Howard said, he is considering serving official warning Monday on City Treasurer Gladys E. Miller that she may be committing a breach of duty if she authorizes the payment to the labor paper. Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey pointed out that he is powerless to veto the council's action of Friday, because it was made in the form a motion by Aldermen Kauth and Edgar T. Buckley. "Mr. Burgum (Alderman Harry P. Burgum) said that whenever the council wanted to do something that the mayor would have MILD, CLOUDY DAY FORECAST High of 40 Due for Twin Cities It will be mild in the Upper Midwest today, the weatherman said. Partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures are due in the Twin Cities and the remainder of Minnesota. High locally will be 40 above. Low will be 20 above. High temperature yesterday in Minneapolis was 36 above, at 4:30 p.m. Low yesterday was 4 above, at 6:30 a.m. Temperature here at 1 a.m. today was 28 above. Fireman Save Dog From Burning Home "Dutch," 14-year-old dog belonging to Alphonse Schauss, 5436 France avenue S., Edina, was on his last gasp when firemen rescued him from his master's burning home Saturday. Artificial respiration proved successful, however, and "Dutch" soon recovered without apparent ill effect. The fire damaged the kitchen and back porch of the home and caused extensive smoke damage, Edina firemen reported. BURGLARS GET $200 LOOT Burglars broke into the Stremel Brothers Hardware Co.m 1215 Washington avenue N., early Saturday and took $200 worh of watches, razors, flashlights, and GOP DISTRICT PARLEYS BOOM STASSEN BACKING By WALLACE MITCHELL Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Indorsements of Harold E. Stassen's bid for his party's presidential nomination thundered Saturday out of Minnesota's Republican district conventions. The solid Republican front boosting the candidacy of the former governor buried virtually all strife on other issues. Lone source of convention excitement, other than selection of the delegate personnel on the "Stassen bandwagon," was indorsement of Sen. Joseph H. Ball. DISTRICT FIGHTS ON BALL The first district convention fought over the issue in its session at Rochester. After naming Dr. F. W. Meyer, Owatonna, and Mrs. Lawrence Spaulding, Waseca, as national convention delegates, a resolution was offered and passed commending Republican congressmen. An amendment was offered which would have indorsed Ball's re-election. By a vote of approximately seven to one, it was defeated. In the Sixth district, a similar resolution commending Ball, Sen. Edward J. Thye and Rep. Harold Knutson, the district's congressman, was passed. A motion to amend it by striking out Ball's name failed even to get a second. DELEGATE BATTLE In the Eighth and Ninth districts, sipirited fights were waged over naming of delegates to the national convention. At Duluth, Scott Erickson, former mayor of Orr, won a delegate seat by defeating R. B. Reavill, Duluth, former county chairman. Mrs. Justine Kerfoot, Grand Marais, took the other delegate post, and Paul Hitchcock, Hibbing, and Mrs. Mabel Hannebeck, Cloquet, were named alternates. Mrs. Warren Moore was indorsed for state delegate- at-large. Ted H. Rowell of Lake of the Woods county, after long balloting in the Ninth district convention at Moorhead, finally won a delegate seat over two state representatives. Rep. Leonard Dickinson, Bemidji, and Rep E. J. Windmiller, Fergus Falls, were nominated from the floor after Rowell had been made the recommendation of the nominating committee. Dickinson was chosen as an alterante, as was Mrs. C. E. Rufer, Moorhead, after Mrs. E. H. Harding, Crookston, was named delegate. Sen A. O. Sletvold, Detroit Lakes, was indorsed for delegate-at-large. OTHERS QUIET Other convention elections were relatively quiet. Mrs. R. F. Dean, Blue Earth, and Frank Schugel, New Ulm, won the second district delegate seats, with Mrs. Edward Howard, Chanhassen and Dr. R. C. Radabaugh, Hastings, as alternates and Sen. Ancher Nelson, Hutchinson, indorsed as delegate-at-large. At the Third district convention, Dana Stone, Hennepin county Republican chairman, and Mrs. Margaret Andrews, Lindstrom, were elected dele ZIP! IT'S GONE Elevator Purse Robber Gets Woman's $125 A $125 visit to a doctor was made by a Mrs. H. O. Fedderson, 2728 Garfield avenue S., Saturday. But the doctor saw no part of the money. Mrs. Fedderson was taking her two children -- Patsy, 3 months old, and Beverly, 2 -- for a check-up. In a crowded elevator in the Medical Arts building at Ninth street and Nicollet avenue, the zipper of her purse was opened and a billfold containing the money was taken out, she told police. Mrs. Fedderson was holding the baby and was unaware of the theft until she opened her purse later. She had just come from a bank and had withdrawn the money to pay bills. Kidnaper Suspect Claims 'Sound Mind' Kenneth Niccum, 31, former inmate of the state mental institution at St. Peter, Minn., gave a statement to Minneapolis police Saturday claiming he is "sound of mind and body." Niccum is being held in the city jail after being returned from Chicago with one of two Minneapolis boys he was charged with abducting last December. MAN FOUND ON WALK DIES William Volkman, about 50, 711 E. Seventeeth street, died at General hospital Saturday after being found earlier on the sidewalk at 1704 Park avenue. Coroner Russell R/ Heim said Volkman suffered a head injury and forstbite. An autopsy will be conducted. OTHER NEEDS FUNDS, TOO City Finds Company in School Dilemma By JEAN JAMES Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Minneapolis is not alone in finding that its school funds won't pay the bills for a good educational system. More than half the comparable cities in the United States are in a similar predicament, a just-complete Minneapolis Tribune survey shows. New Orleans, La., has had to its school program to stay ? list on beginning teachers' salaries Lindley Mrs. Hegman JUDGE VOIDS LABOR LAW Ban on Wisconsin Utility Strikes Hit MADISON, WIS.--(U.P.)--Wisconsin's new law banning strikes in public utilities was declared unconstitutional Saturday night by Circuit Judge Alvin C. Reis. Reis ruled that the law, passed by the legislature last summer, is "thoroughly unconstitutional" for three reasons: It forces utility workesr into "involuntary servitude" contrary to the federal constitution. It deprives public utility employes of their "liberty" without due process of law. It discriminates against public utility workers. The anti-strike law prohibits strikes, lockouts and slowdowns in telephone, gas, electric, transportation, communication and other public utility companies. It sets up a system of conciliation and compulsory arbitration by the state. Attorney General John Martin said he probably would appeal Reis' decision to the state supreme court. Reis said the law, with its strike ban and compulsory arbitration, is "null and void." He said the law, in effect, tells public utility workers, "you shall be slaves--you shall not strike--but all other Americans are free men --free to continue their labor, or free to strike." IN THIS CORNER with Cedric Adams ILLONA, OUR HUNGARIAN COUNTESS, the 24-year-old girl who came to America to marry her ex-GI fiance and discovered that he had just recently married, today has probably set a world record--perhaps an all-time record. She's the only woman I've ever head of who has had 1,786 proposals of marriage. Since the case of the countess was published here last Sunday, Illona has received more than 2,000 pieces of mail, five telegrams, two bouquets of American Beauty roses, two boxes of candy and $30 in cash from three men who wanted to assist her and lighten her burden if they could. One man who stated in his letter that he was out of work told her that he knew how hard life was and that after he had read of her misery he felt she needed the dollar more than he did. ILLONA'S CASE TOOK form early Sunday. The telephone began ringing in my home. I counted 309 calls through Sunday. In some cases I have the callers Illona's telephone number in Minneapolis. They got in touch with her immediately. It was probably the strangest Sunday Illona ever had. By Sunday night she had personally interviewed five of her 1,786 prospects. By midnight Sunday she had two definite proposals. Both men had talked to her, looked her over carefully and said, in probably an unromantic way, "If you want me to marry me, I will marry you." And that probably reaches an all-time high in whirlwind romances. . . . THROUGH THE WEEK, Illona had been very careful about accepting dates. After all, these men were total strangers to her, she knew little of their background. She did accept three dates. The first one was a man of 32, an ex-army officer. After they met, he suggested a dinner date. He was considerate enough to include Illona's Minneapolis host and hostess. They ate in Hotel Lowry's Terrace. They danced. He was a wonderful dancer. They had a very good time. He hasn't proposed yet. The second date was a 27-year-old ex-GI. The two of them drove to Excelsior. He showed her the beauties of Lake Minnetonka. They wound up for dinner at Kip Hale's Buckhorn. He proposed. He told her that if she didn't find anybody else in her applications that she liked better, he'd marry her. He's a student lawyer now. Date No. 3 was a man from outside of Minneapolis. And here's a kicker: He turned out to be a personal friend of the family with whom Illona is staying. There was a little embarrassment for a moment. They all laughed about it. The two of them dined at McCarthy's Cafe. He had arranged for a private dining room. The moment they had finished their dessert, he proposed. . . . OFFERS WEREN'T ALL for marriage. One man, 42, said he recognized her plight, offered her a job, said he would loan her money, give her counsel, if she needed it. A group of 12 Minneapolis attorneys eat together every noon. They had read the story and on Monday called to offer their collective services in a legal way. The entire case was placed in their hands immediately and since then they have worked as a sort of steering committee. A score of Hungarians living in the area wrote. They offered their help. . . . YOU MAY RECALL that Illona, when she came to my office, had lost her appetite, had been spending many a sleepless night because she was faced with the possibility of being deported to her native Hungary, now under Communist control. By Monday morning, Illona was a changed young lady. Her future seemed brighter, her appetite had returned, and when the excitement of the proposals had diminished, she began to sleep. A changed woman she was, if I ever saw one, when she came back to my office to report on the progress of her plea. Her eyes had brightened, her face looked alive, her spirit had been revived. She actually glowed. . . . NOW LET'S EXAMINE some of the proposals. One young ex-GI used a very clever device to meet Illona. He sent her a ticket to the Horowitz concert at the university. His seat was right next to Illona's. A pleasant surrounding to woo, indeed. Unfortunately, it didn't work because the delay in forwarding the mail brought the ticket to Illona just one day too late. Several men drove in from our surrounding areas. One young man drove 200 miles. . . . RICHES WERE WITHIN her reach too. One of the prospects wrote from California, offered to pay her airplane fare to California for the meeting. Business prevented him from making the trip, but wouldn't she come out? He told her of his two homes, one in Minneapolis, a beach home in California. He has a new Buick. He told her of his bank balance, that his business was sound, his income sufficient to make them very comfortable and, he hoped, happy. . . . THERE'S A LOT of gratitude in Illona's heart today. After all, this has been an outpouring of something a little beyond romance. Evident was the American spirit to help. Illona cannot physically answer all the letters she received. She's had a busy time just reading them. She is grateful, however, and wants every one of the writers to know it. Now the Feb. 27 council meeting, on a motion by Alderman Harold Kauth.

I LIKE IT HERE - By GEORGE GRIM Santa Cruz Knows Joy Again Are news stories that start - and never finish - always bothering you? Do you belong to the "Whatever-Happened-to-That . . .?" club? Here's a story that goes all the way through - even though it took a year to write the happy ending. (It's a warm, satisfying story, too. Something we need right now, just like a cup of hot coffee on a cold March morning.) When first you - and I - heard about the story, it was all sadness. We told of it in a TRIBUNE column. The village of Santa Cruz - 300 miles northwest of Manila in the wilds of Luzon, Philippines. The village that took it during the war. Where ill-armed guerrillas fought and died opposing the Japs. A Minneapolis GI named Merrill Gooddale and his wife Hilda were trying to help - sending packages, clothing to that little town on that sad island that was once part of the United States. How did they hear about it? Hilda's brother-in-law is a Filipino. Big Need Remained--a Clinic So we asked you to help. You did. In spades. With clothing and shoes and every sort of household necessity. But there remained a big project: the local clinic. For the village public health nurse, Natividad Velasco, needed every single thing necessary for starting over. The Japs had completely wrecked her little health station. There's an agreement in the Philippines: if the local residents can get a public clinic started, the government will match the local contributions in money and materiel. But how should we start? Natividad wrote a letter that we showed to Dr. Paul Giessler of Minneapolis. Confined to his home by ill health, the doctor wanted a project he could push forward from his room overlooking the comfortable, all's-well panorama of Lake Harriet. He determined to get that center started again. Dr. Giesller States His Case So he wrote letters to his friends in the profession. Particularly to those in pediatrics and obstetrics, since the basic job of that village health center is the care of mothers-to-be, then of their babies. Dr. Giessler told his friends that the village of Santa Cruz had, somehow, raised a little money. Enough to get a matching sum from the government. But equipment, medicine was virtually unobtainable in the Philippines. A list came which, to a mere layman, sounded like the Congressional Record translated into Sanskrit. But the Minneapolis medical men knew. So did the ladies' auxiliary of the Hennepin County Medical society. So did three organizations at Plymouth church. The money had been raised, and it was a considerable sum. It had to buy alcohol and iodine, sulfa drugs and penicillin, cod liver oil and paregoric. There were basins, forceps, knives, a delivery set, hot water bags, bed pans. But everybody kept right on co-operating. The Forchay pharmacy, through McKesson and Robbins, supplied the drugs at wholesale cost, C. F. Anderson Surgical Supply house did the same on the bedpans and the delivery set and the other instruments. Dr. Giessler was shifting into high gear. The job of packing all the articles in small parcels so no customs duties would be paid by the Philippine health center . . . checking and re-checking. . . . Finally, the parcels were on their way. Weeks went by. The delay even tried the patience of the Minneapolis doctor. Six weeks went by, then eight, then 10. A Letter - in Eleventh Week During the eleventh week, a letter came from the village across the Pacific. From Nurse Natividad Velasco. Everything had arrived in perfect condition. There was joy in Santa Cruz. The center even had a little building, which the people themselves had built to house the instruments, the drugs, care for the patients. Now, that center is in full swing again. Babies who, without care, might have died are being given the gift of health. A gift from doctors and church people of Minneapolis. The work of Dr. Giessler who deeply knows that the road of understanding from Lake Harriet to a jungle village in the Philippines is as short as you and I care to make it! Dickinson was chosen as an alternate, as was Mrs. C. E. Rufer, Moorhead, after Mrs. E. H. Harding, Crookston, was named delegate. Sen. A. O. Sletvold, Detroit Lakes, was indorsed for delegate- at-large. OTHERS QUIET Other convention elections were relatively quiet. Mrs. R. F. Dean, Blue Earth, and Frank Schugel, New Ulm, won the second district delegate seats, with Mrs. Edward Howard, Chanhassen and Dr. R. C. Radabaugh, Hastings, as alternates and Sen. Ancher Nelson, Hutchinson, indorsed as delegate- at-large. At the Third district convention, Dana Stone, Hennepin county Republican chairman, and Mrs. Margaret Andrews, Lindstrom, were elected delegates to the Republican national convention. Because 105 votes were cast on the first ballot and only 101 persons were eligible to vote, a runoff was held between Mrs. Andrews and H. E. Olson of Cambridge. Stone did not have to run again because of his overwhelming majority on the "irregular" ballot. Robert Ehlen of Anoka and Mrs. Henry Erpenbach were named alternates. In the Fifth district, Alfred D. Lindley and Mrs. Ralph Hegman were unopposed as delegates, Congressman Walter E. Judd and Mrs. Avis Chase as alternates, and Abbott Washburn as delegate-at-large. The Sixth district named Rep. Walter Rogo-sheske, Sauk Rapids, and Mrs. Boyd Conley, Verndale, as delegates. Elmer Meinz, St. Cloud labor leader, and Dr. W. W. Will, Bertha, were indorsed as delegates-at-large and Meilvin C. Enger, Big Lake farmer, and Harold Bishop, Park Rapids, as alternate delegates. Dr. Judd INDORSEMENTS PILE UP Mrs. Tess Carlson, Willmar, former head of the American Legion auxiliary, and Rudolph Swore, Alexandria, won election as delegates from the Seventh district, with R. L. Palmer, Pipestone, and Mrs. Henry Matson, Avoca, as alternates. In every convention, the booming indorsement of Stassen rolled out, as did indorsements of Roy E. Dunn and Mrs. Chris Carlson for re-election as Minnesota members of the Republican national committee. The state officials, and especially Gov. Luther W. Youngdahl, were commended highly by district delegates. walk at 1704 Park avenue. Coroner Russell R. Heim said Volkman suffered a head injury and frostbite.

OTHERS NEED FUNDS, TOO City Finds Company in School Dilemma By JEAN JAMES Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Minneapolis is not alone in finding that its school funds won't pay the bills for a good educational system. More than half the comparable cities in the United States are in a similar predicament, a just-completed Minneapolis Tribune survey shows. New Orleans, La., has had to cut its school program to stay within the budget. Buffalo, N. Y., needs $3,000,000 more next year to meet the increase in salaries, the need for supplies and the backlog of repairs. Seattle, Wash., wants to raise teachers' salaries but hasn't the funds; so does Kansas City, Mo.; Cincinnati, Ohio, needs a 10 per cent increase in its school budget. FUNDS FALL SHORT Last year, the Minneapolis school board approved a budget of $13,204,164 for the present school year. Administrators believed they couldn't shave it any closer; Superintendent Willard E. Goslin said the budget should have been $15,000,000. But funds to meet the bills totaled only $11,200,000. One result of the shortage was the present strike of union teachers. Another is serious neglect of important school needs, Goslin said. The Minneapolis Tribune asked the 12 cities nearest the size of Minneapolis--six larger, six smaller --to answer the questions about their budgers, their teachers' salaries and their sources of funds. Besides revealing school financial emergencies in other cities the survey showed: Minneapolis is far down the list of cities, ranked on the amount of money spent for educating each child this year. It's at the very bottom of the list on beginning teachers' salaries. Its school funds this year are less than those in some cities that have up to 10,000 fewer school children. Most of the cities with more adequate school funds receive a larger percentage of their budgets from real and personal property taxes than Minneapolis does. SPENDING PER PUPIL Dividing total school budgets by the number of children in the public schools in each city, the survey showed that the comparable cities are spending the following amounts for each child this year: San Francisco . . . . . . . . . . . .$293 Newark, N.

The amount for each child would have been $203 if there had been enough money for the budget that was approved.)

After all, this has been an outpouring of something a little beyond romance. Evident was the American spirit to help. Illona cannot physically answer all the letters she received. She's had a busy time just reading them. She is grateful, however, and wants every one of the writers to know it. Now for the wind-up. The spokesman for the group of attorneys called me yesterday morning to report that this week her permanent residence in the United States will be established. Out of the 1,786 proposals, she has selected one—she hopes THE one. In order to give them every chance to succeed and to lead normal lives together, we're not announcing the name of the successful candidate. After all, marriage is a personal and, in a sense, a private matter. We're going to let them enjoy the privacy they want and deserve. It looks as though her immediate problems, then, have been solved. . . . I WANT TO EXPRESS This Corner's thanks to those who responded. It's been quite a week for me with men sidling up to me and surreptitiously asking me for her telephone and for information about her. I'll be very happy when the routine returns to normal. We've had a couple of laughs out of it, though. This telegram came from Rochester, Minn.: "Dear Cupid - As long as you're in the business, how about a helping hand here. - Gert, Elaine and Celeste." Several letters came with this idea: Why not solve her problem quickly and easily. Turn her over to the town's most eligible bachelor - your colleague, George Grim. We didn't. And on that note we write finis to the Hungarian Countess episode and may I add that I hope a lot of happiness lies ahead for her. STASSEN SEES VOTE VICTORY IN NEBRASKA Harold E. Stassen Saturday night wound up a three-day Nebraska campaign tour which he described as successful "beyond my anticipation." If the "upward trend of support continues," he told newsmen at Beatrice, Neb., Nebraska Republicans will rank him first in the April 13 presidential preference primary, Associated Press reported. The former Minnesota governor is one of seven possible GOP nominees for whom Nebraskans will ballot. The outcome is not binding on delegates to the national convention. He said he was pleased with the reception given his farm program, outlined in detail for the first time at Scottsbluff, Neb. The Nebraska primary he described as one of the five most important events before the Republican national convention. Others, he said, are the Wisconsin, Ohio and Oregon primaries, and the decision of the Pennsylvania Republican organization as to which candidate will get second place support behind Sen. Ed Martin. After conferences today in Minneapolis, Stassen will talk Monday at Plymouth and Sheboygan, Wis., and Tuesday he will be at Green Bay and Manitowoc. Further conferences in New York are scheduled for Wednesday. On Thursday he opens his campaign in Ohio, home state of Sen. Taft, with talks at Cleveland. In an address at Beatrice last night, Stassen said the family sized farm should be maintained as the "predominant agricultural keystone" of the nation. MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY TRUBUNE L Mar. 14, 1948 CHECKERBOARD Actors? Italian Director Picks Them Up at Random No high pressure, no detailed planning, no ulcers - that's how Roberto Rossellini makes movies. Judging by the acclaim "Open City" won, his method clicks. Now he's working on "Human Life." All he has is a sketchy scenario, which he prefers. He likes to improvise. Italian actress Anna Magnani, star of "Open City" and pictured with him here, has the lead in the new film. She's the only professional in the cast. The others? He'll get them "on the spot," in the Salerno mountains - "not actors, just simple country folk." Veteran Warrior Aids Arabs Fawzi Bey Al Kaukji, field commander of the Arab "People's army to save Palestine," is a veteran warrior. Born in Tripoli, Syria, in 1896, he was a Turkish army officer in World War I. He joined the Syrian revolt of 1925 and fought the French. In 1933 he went to Iraq, where he was a cavalry trainer at Iraq's military school. For three years he fought the British in the Holy Land during the Arab revolt which flared in 1936. He also fought them in the Iraq rebellion of 1940. His headquarters now are in northern Palestine. Debra, New 'Soda Fountain' Star Hollywood has yanked another bobby-soxer off a soda fountain stool and signed her to a movie contract. She's a 14-year-old redhead, Debra Paget. An agent, Stillman Pond, spotted her. She won't be seen on the screen until she completes her schooling at the Hollywood Professional School in June. She was born in Denver, Colo., and moved to California in 1941. Agent Pond is trying to get Debra's sister, Lezli Gae, 12, and her brother, Ruell Shayne, 18, into pictures, too. Mama's a Hollywood stage actress. her moniker is Miss Margaret Gibson. The family name is Griffith. Drama in a 'Better Mop Bucket' A "better mop bucket" provides for a St. Louis, Mo., widow, Mrs. Elsie L. Hite, and her daughter. In 1938 the husband, William Hite, lost his health and his candy business. For five years he sought an invention that would support his family after his death. He chatted with store clerks to learn of "bugs" in household articles. Then he bought a mop bucket, changed the wringer design to eliminate tipping. The first royalty check came in a Mayor Hints City Hall Expose of Charter Enemies' 'False Piety' Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey announced Saturday that he will use the mass meeting for the proposed new Minneapolis city charter Tuesday to "unmask the false piety" of charter opponents. The meeting, sponsored by Citizens' Charter committee, is scheduled for 8 p.m. in Minneapolis armory. "Some of our citizens may be a little shocked at what I have to say about affairs at city hall," Humphrey declared. He declined to elaborate on the "specific incidents" he intends to speak about, declaring, "this is a serial story." 'CLOAK ON ALDERMEN' But as an added hint of what he will discuss, the mayor said: "Some of our aldermen who have donned the cloak of sanctimoniousness for their anti-charter campaign aren't going to like it, and that's for sure." The charter mass meeting is to mark the beginning of an intensive "get out the vote campaign by the citizens' committee for the charter election March 24. Sharing the speakers' rostrum with Humphrey will be Willard E. Goslin, superintendent of schools; Charles B. Howard, chairman of the city charter commission which drafted the new basic law; and Bradshaw Mintener, co-chairman of the citizens' committee. Cedric Adams, Minneapolis Star and Sunday Tribune columnist, will act as a master of ceremonies. DOOR PRIZES SET Door prizes, ranging from a lawn mower and an automobile refrigerator to toiletries and a variety of electrical appliances, will be awarded to holders of free tickets. Distribution of tickets will start at the doors at 7 p.m. The pros and cons of the new charter are to be debated over WCCO at 9 p.m. today in the second of a series of three programs on this subject. In support of the new charter will be Josiah Brill, Minneapolis attorney, and the Rev. John G. Simmons, co-chairman of the citizens' committee. TICKETS NEEDED A. C. Godward, co-chairman of Charter Information league, which is leading opposition to the new charter, and Guy Alexander, representing AFL Central Labor union, will debate against the new basic law. Admission to the broadcast, which will be held in WCCO's Minneapolis studios, is by ticket only. Members of the studio audience may ask questions of the debaters at the conclusion of the formal debate. Meanwhile, a letter from 10 Minneapolis men calling themselves "Minneapolis engineers for the charter" urged their fellow engineers to support the new basic law. The letter was signed by Ralph D. Thomas, D. R. Loper, J. H. Ravlin, C. R. Marshall, R. E. Gorgen, Charles S. Mann, H. C. Evarts, G. L. Patchin, H. C. Jacobson and Eugene Larson. If the new charter is not passed, the letter declared, "we must face continued poor government and a choice between even higher property taxes or the radical and vicious proposal for graduated income taxes up to 6 per cent on corporations and 10 per cent on individuals. "Either would place Minneapolis business under an intolerable handicap." Charter discussions and speakers scheduled this week include: TODAY Townsend club No. 130, 703 Third avenue S., H. G.

Miller was also named first honorary member of the Seabee association. John H. Swanberg, Minneapolis, and H. E. Palmer, Hastings, president and vice president, respectively, of the association, have been invited to Washington by the navy department. CHARTER Continued From Page One. nothing to say about, they would pass it as a motion," the mayor said. QUOTES BURGUM The mayor referred to a resolution authored by Burgum which he recently vetoed and which the council then passed over his veto. At that time, Burgum "apologized" to the council for having made the action in the form of a resolution and promised that future controversial matters would be handled as motions. (The mayor has veto power only over resolutions and ordinances passed by the council.) "This is just an evidence that in the present charter, the city council can alter or abrogate a budget whenever it chooses," Humphrey declared. He declined further comment on the council's policy in having the charter printed in the labor organ. Alderman Desmond F. Pratt, one of the two council proponents of the proposed new charter, yesterday called the manner in which the Labor Review printed the official proceedings "unethical." ANTI-CHARTER EDITORIAL The charter was printed side by side with an editorial bitterly attacking the proposed new basic law and a paid advertisement against it inserted by the Charter Information league, which is leading the anti-charter fight. Alderman Stanley Anderson told the Tribune Friday night, when asked for a comment on the council action: "I'm not answering your paper any questions until after charter time." Yesterday Anderson called the Tribune with the following statement: "Prior to the control of all the daily newspapers under one ownership the council proceedings used to be published in the daily press for all citizens to see them. "When the daily press came under one ownership, they refused to accept the payment for printing of all council proceedings. "It was therefore necessary to use a daily paper for printing these official proceedings and the business was given to Finance and Commerce, a daily publication. "Finance and Commerce is a paper that goes only to people in financial and commercial fields. I thought it would be very fair to also print the council proceedings in a labor paper where those who work for a living would also have a chance to read the charter." Although some aldermen said Friday that official council proceedings often are printed in both the Labor Review and the East Minneapolis Argus, the council action authorizing the additional printing did not mention the east side newspaper.

MEN'S SUITS Fine tailoring, expert styling and quality fabrics $20 to $40 FOREMAN & CLARK HENNEPIN AT 5TH ST. Off the Avenue by H. L. C. Going to California proved one thing. The head man is smarter than I am. He left for the south the day before I returned and missed the "nice 20-below March weather I walked in on. But Mama, Susie and I had a nice trip. You see much more driving than you do on the train. I saw more sand than I ever saw before in my life . . . drove over 5,300 miles . . . got snowbound in Texas . . . found a little summer weather in California . . . changed two tires . . . lunched at Mike Romanoff's . . . sat on Malibu Beach . . . brought back 94 color pictures . . . stayed in the swanky Bob Burn's Suite at the Lassen Hotel in Wichita . . . gained five pounds . . . lost six pounds and got a stiff back from shoveling snow after getting home. I hope you aren't spending this Sunday huddled over a card table in a corner surrounded with books on "how to make out your income tax return" as you slowly go crazy figuring deductions. I was smart . . . I had my tax return completed before I went on my winter vacation. Of course, I can't take all the credit - I had some valuable help that cost me $3.50. If you keep a personal file with all figures relative to income and outgo, exemptions, deductions, etc., all correctly filed as you go along . . . it really isn't so bad when the time comes to make out your tax return. You have all the figures and information right at your fingertips. Of course, it's too late to help you out with your 1947 return which is due tomorrow . . . but remember, you'll have tax returns to make next year, and the year after, and so on. So get yourself a personal file . . . you can get them all sizes and prices at Farmhams from $1.65 for a small expansion file up to $11.95 for a drawer type steel file. Then keep and file your records as you go along. Then, next year at tax return time . . . you, too, can breeze through your return and take a winter vacation. The most popular personal file costs $3.50, is steel, contains a complete set of file folders with ample room for a year's accumulation of records and information. It's standard size (10 x 12) with hinged locking cover. Easter comes early this year. I you come in early this week to select your Easter cards, you'll still have time to pick out a few St. Patrick's Day greeting cards to send to any of your friends who are wearers of the green (Farnham's have a big stock of greeting cards for all occasions). I had a big idea for making money - by selling rabbits for the kiddies. My plan was to buy just two rabbits last fall, and we'd have a big inventory of rabbits by Easter with no additional investment. But the head office said "NO." So you can't get live rabbits at Farnham's - but you can get appropriate Easter gifts for your youngsters . . . games and puzzles, View-Masters (three dimensional color pictures), athletic supplies, and so on. My girl Thursday did a nice job of pinch hitting for me while I was away . . . so nice that I probably wasn't even missed. So I need your help. Next time you're in Farnham's, just say, "Gee, I'm glad HLC is back." I'm not - I wish I was still in California. FARNHAM Stationary & School Supply Company, Mpls. 15, Minn.

Comeback Seen for Emperor Against a background of guerrilla war, Bao Dai is the French choice to weld the three coastal states of Indo- China-Tonkin, Annam and Cochin China, into an Asiatic member of the French union. Cambodia and Laos, the other two states, are already tired to France. Bao Dai reigned over the French protectorate of Annam from 1932 to 1945. After the Japanese surrender he abdicated in favor of Ho Chi Minh's republic of Viet-Nam. Later he went to Hong Kong. After French recognition in 1946 of the Viet-Nam republic in Tonkin and Annam, gurrilla attacks stopped further talks. 2 Drivers Sued in Loss of Foot Barbara Alch, 17, 1105 Vincent avenue N., whose right foot was amputated after an automobile accident on Feb, 14, filled a suit against the drivers of the cars involved in the collision in Hennepin county district court Saturday.

Lake 300 E. Hennepin 4164 N. Washington STOCKS HOLD SLIM GROOVE Trade Lightest Since Last November By Elmer C. Walzer United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK--(U.P.)--Stocks fluctuated narrowly last week, with volume the lightest for a full week since the week ended Nov. 15, 1947. Extreme caution of the trading element reflected many uncertainties in the domestic and foreign situation. The foreign news held many of the sidelines. The Czech coup conjured up fears Italy also might be seized by the Communists. Some erosion of business also tended to keep buyers out of the market. SPECIAL ISSUES UP While the main list of stocks attracted little attention, many special issues received help from higher earnings, and some groups were given a whirl on news for their industries. Aircrafts made new highs for the year on expectation of big orders which so far have not developed and must await congress action on the aircraft report recently made. At times the rails were bought and their average managed to score a small net gain. Western Union rose on resumption of its dividend. United Fruit responded to a dividend rise. A proposed splitup sent Mack trucks higher. Steels, motors, oils and liquors were narrow movers. Utilities registered a minor rise on average.

PUGH Los Angeles 35, Calif. Advertisement Advertisement WHY SOME MEN GET AHEAD FASTER THAN OTHERS A Message from The WALL STREET JOURNAL In times like these, it is difficult to make decisions. How will the new tax changes affect your income? Will developments in Washington help or hamper your business? How can you protect your investments? What will happen to prices in your line? How will international events affect conditions in your industry? One reason why some men get ahead faster than others is that they have more facts on which to base their decisions.

Introduced by Mrs. Maud Wood Park, first president of the National League of Women Voters, who recounted early experiences she and Mrs. Paige had in the days before women's suffrage, Mrs. Paige said Mrs. Park had been an inspiration for many women to seek political office and her lectures throughout the Country in the early days of women's suffrage gave women their first knowledge of their responsibilities and privileges of voting. She told of the importance placed upon the women's vote in the first presidential election following granting of suffrage and asked her audience if it had lived up to early general opinion. Especially commendable she said was the work of women and members of the Maine League of Women Voters in obtaining passage of the Civil Service bill, which she described as one of the most constructive pieces of legislation for which women have fought. Mrs. Paige recounted her own experiences as a legislator and told of her first decision to become a candidate for public office. She is a member of the Minnesota house of representatives, was the first regional director in the Northwest in the National League of Women Voters and is a member of the staff of the University of Minnesota law school. She is a summer resident of Casco. Mrs. Charles F. Flagg and Mrs. Joseph Wigon poured at the coffee which followed. Mrs. William H. Bruce was general chairman and Mrs. Norton H. Lamb presided, with Mrs. Herbert Moss giving a report of the war service unit of the league. The next summer event will be a similar affair July 23 at the home of Mrs. C.
