It read: Dear Mike, “I have just read today's New York Times' story about your grand sense of humor. It gave me a lift. “Since I've been in Washington I've seen many stuffed shirts, and your wise-cracks about Washington life remind me of how we used to use a trocar on a clovered bull There’s a loud explosion and the bull resumes his normal shape and usually recovers. “Keep sticking 'em. “Regards, “Harry S. Truman” Di Salle, a city boy and former Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, rushed to a dictionary to look up the word “trocar.” A trocar, he discovered, a surgical spear sometimes used to release gas pressure in bloated cattle. By “clovered,” the President doubtless referred to a bull which had become bloated from eating too much clover. Note—What inspired dent’s letter was a New York Times summary of Di Salle’s wisecracks, some of them previously published in this column. Here are a few samples: when the President ap- pointed Di Salle as Price Stabili- zer, he said he wanted a man with plenty of guts. “You have him here,” replied the rotund Di Salle, slapping his bay window. My appointment has the unanimous approval of everyone in Toledo,” the ex-mayor said on arriving in Washington. “Half of them were happy to see me move up, and the other half were happy to sce me move out of town.” . . . A man ap-! pled for the job of postmaster and| was reminded that he could ot read. According to Di Salle, he re- plie “ I don’t want to be assist- ant postmaster.

All of this means that Connally is facing a fight for his political life, his first real opposition sipce 1928. Though a tough scrapper, the veteran Texan is still perplexed as how to fight back against a McCar- thy campaign. Note — figure on a bhig swing toward Re- publicans in Texas, they are real- enough to figure they may have to knock Connally out with a Democrat in the primaries. The chief Democrat who is echoing the McCarthy line is ex-Congressman Martin Dies. But the candidate who will profit most is able, ami- able Governor Allan Shivers, who also has his eye on Connally’'s seat and can now sit back, keep his mouth shut and his hands clean while the McCarthyites do the spadework. Anti-Acheson Trap An absent-minded slip by genial GOP Sen. Alex Wiley of Wisconsin balled up a secret Republican plan to put Secretary of State Dean Acheson in jail. The strategy was worked out by crafty Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine, and given the blessing of a GOP Senate policy meeting. The scheme was to wait until Secretary Acheson appeared before the joint armed services-foreign relations committees’ probe of the MacArthur firing. Then Republi- cans planned to ask him to relate his conversation with President Truman on April 6, the date the President first discussed the possi- bility of firing General MacArthur. Brewster figured that Secretary Acheson would then refuse to an- swer, following which a key Repub- lican would ask that' Acheson be| cited for contempt of Congress and | press for an immediate record vote by the committee. If the vote to cite the Secretary lailed, Republicans would walk out of the hearings in a dramatic ges- ture. But Wiley, who is more famous for his homely jokes than his po- litical skill, forced the issue too soon. He demanded that Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, be made to discuss his April 6 conversation with the President. This was not at all what Brewster had planned; first, be- s personally popular and the Senate was not likely to cite him; second, because General MacArthur had already set a prec- edent By refusing to discuss what he had discussed privately with President Truman on Wake Island.

Prison Riof Is Quelled POINT-OF-THE - MOUNTAIN, Utah, May 21 P— Shakeup in personnel at the Utah State prison began today after a riot swept the modern new structure yesterday. There were no serious injuries in the demonstration. Officials said ringleaders would be | punished. Warden Alvin O. Severson said the prison’s chief culinary steward, Wallace Ostler has been dismissed. Ostler told reporters the action fol- lowed threats made against him by the prisoners. “I've taken over the steward’s work myself,” Severson explained. Ostler was one of several officials whom the rioting ir charged showed partiality. | More than 200 prisoners were in- | volved in the disorders. They held eight guards as hostages for a time. Two escaped and others were releas- ed when an agreement ended the riot after 412 hours. n tes The eruption of Katmai volcano in the Aleutians in 1912 was one of the most violent volcanic outbursts | of modern times. ossword Puzzle ACROSS Peculiar Neat and pre- cise Roofing tin 1 ‘. 8. 12, 13. .

We have received a verbal invitation to a wedding anniversary dinner which is being given by a few intimate friends for the couple. Are we obligated to bring a gift? A. There is no obligation on guests to bring gifts on an occasion such as this, nor is it expected by the hosts. However, if very good friends do want to bring gifts, it would be quite all right. Q. May one properly refuse a certain dish at a luncheon? A. The considerate person will never do this, as the number of { dishes served at a luncheon is limited. One can take a small quantity even if he is not partial to that particular dish. Q. What is the minimum number of cocktails courtesy requires that a host serves his guests before dinner? A. One apiece is correct — and enough. LOOK and LEARN AIZ\y,c,GORDON What is the highest peak of the South American Andes? What is the distinction between “foreign” and “alien”?

This was before the Alaska Railroad when most of the area was still unexplored. The route into the area from Fairbanks was.along the rivers—down the Tanana to the Kantishna and thence up it to the head of navigation. From this point a pack train cnr;iefl him into the unexplored and unmapped area of the Alaska Range, ' On the Toklat River, about two miles kelow the present park high- way, Sheldon set up his main cabin with the help of His friend, gutde and companion, Harry Karstens, the “Seventy Mile Kid.” Karstens, at present a resident of Fairbanks, was one of the first party to elimb Mount McKinley and later became ! the first superintendent of Mount | McKinley National Park.
