A relative handful will see the Westminster Abbey. But for this privileged few it will cost more and probably mean greater dis- comfort than for anyone else. The expense mostly will come from tailors’ bills. The bulk o the congregation at the Abbey wil be peers and peeresses entitled by ancient tradition to watch th crowning ceremony. They all wil need expensive state robes. Hard-up, blue-blooded familie which have sold their coronets a’ so might have to shell out simila sums for headgear. The discomfort will arise fror lack of space.

Those who plan to avoid expense and discomfort by gathering ‘round the television set still don’t know how much they’ll see. The proces- sion will be telecast, but so far a bam has been placed on a “live” show of the proceedings in the Abbey. Labor members of Parlia- ment and others have criticized this loudly and it may be lifted by the final authority on the sub- ject, the Coronation Commission headed by the Duke of Norfolk.

One of the most general laws, the National Foremen’s Institute points out, is California’s, which entitles every eligible voter, with- out penalty, “to absent himself from any service or employment workers are entitled to pay during others specify the particular work- ers who must be paid. States requiring pay for two hours for voting are listed as: Arizona, California, Mlinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New York, and South Dakota. Three hours are four Minnesota specifies the forenoon, and Texas places no time limit. Colorado and Utah limit the pay requirement to workers not on an hourly scale of wages.

Humor in night clubs is impossibly | dull; it is never heard on the radio, infrequently seen in newspapers. “Everybody seems to be afraid to laugh for fear someone will re- port them to the police,” said a diplomat who recently had his first experience of communism. “It seems to me that laughter is con- sidered almost a sin.” Concern about the lack of mer- | riment recently forced the Czecho- slovak newspaper Prace to com- plain there weren’t enough new operettas to amuse people. The old ones, it said, couldn’t be played | “bourgeois.” “Many Czechoslovak musicians,” it said, ‘“‘would like to write music for an operetta, but there are no authors to write the text,” The newspaper gave one reason |why funny writers apparently can't be found. It said that “laugh- ter and satire must be raised to be weapons exposing the traitors of the people and a means of ed- ucating people.” This means no spontaneous hu- mor, nothing funny that hasn't On trains and buses, passengers | any more because they were | 4,250,000 total, if recent percentage records are continued, Both of the state’s two biggest cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, | now have Democratic city govern- ments, The federal payroll in the | Keystone State is big. So is the | state payroll, directed by a com- | pletely Republican state adminis- | tration. Most polls show Republicans ahead in Pennsylvania. Two weeks | ago, an Associated Press survey of newspaper editors produced a com- | posite opinion that Republican | Dwight D. Eisenhower would re- | ceive 53 per cent of the vote had | the election been held fhen, with 47 per cent going to Democrat Adlai Stevenson. | Editorially, most newspapers in | the state are pro-Eisenhower. Only j four dailies—in Lancaster, Scran- j ton, Erie and Waynesburg—have | endorsed Stevenson. Fifty or more, including major newspapers in | Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, | supporting Eisenhower on their | editorial pages. There is some evidence on how party leaders appraise prospects |for Pennsylvania's 32 electoral | votes in the fact that both presi- dential nominees, and many other | big name campaigners, are | this week and a major speech in Pittsburgh. me Democrats sent President Tru- man into Pennsylvania for what amounted to three days of whistle- stopping last week. Stevenson chose yesterday and today to bid | for Pennsylvania, Here's what party leaders say: Republican — National Commit- teeman G. Mason Owlett says “We'll do better than 1948 — much better. I look for Eisenhower to win by 300,000. It could be as high as 500,000 although I’m not pre- dicting that.” Democrat—Mayor David L. Law- rence of Pittsburgh, veteran Dem- ! jocratic .national committeeman: “Stevenson will win. We lost the state by only 149,000 four years ago, when Truman got only a small majority in Philadelphia. We'll do a lot better there on Tues- | day. Labor is united behind the sas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ne- braska, Nevada, New York, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. In seven other states the workers are not required to make prior application but the employer may specify the time to be taken off. They are: Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota. In Indiana, Massachusetts and Texas employers can’t set the time and workers needn’t make prior application. The survey also reports that in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Mas- sachusetts and Oklahoma the laws apply in all their provisions only to certain ‘classes of workers. This varies widely in the five states. But many places where there are no laws on the subject, workers of some corporations will get time off this year, and in many cases with pay. As one example out of many: Parke, Davis & Co., will let 8,000 employees in 27 cities take time off with pay to vote, | Factions In Presidential Battle Are Claiming Victory; Pennsylvania May Hold Key To Outcome Of Hotly Contested Race GERMANS WILL MAKE PAYMENTS TO ISRAEL CAIRO, Egypt #—Premier Maj. Gen. Mohammed Naguib an- nounced last night that Egypt has handed the West German govern- ment a note formally protesting a recent agreement to pay Israel re- parations for Nazi persecutions of Jews. Naguib handed the note to the new German ambassador, Guen- ther Pawelke, shortly after the seven-nation Arab League’s Politi- cal Committee held an emergency meeting here to work’ out joint action against the payments to Is- rael.
