PHILLIPS HOWYA-DOO- ADULTS? The influence of a new radio character called "Howdy-Doody- " on the kiddies is the talk of the amusement world. Howdy-Dood- y is a puppet on the program of Bob Smith, and, he has come close to taking over the American home at 5 p.m. daily. Howdy manages to work in a lot ol pleas for the small fry to clean their plates, mind their health and otherwise behave themselves, and we think it might be a good idea to introduce a simi-lar character for influencing the grownups. Our character would be an adult puppet called "Howya-Doon,- " and soooooooooooonoaoocr would operate along the same pat-tern, as follows: SMITH Well here's your friend Howya-Doo- the friend of all grownups, again, folks. Golly, how nice it seems to be with you adults once morel I hope you've all been very nice adults and behaved your-selves in every way. Howya-Doo-did you clean up your plate today? HOWYA-DOO- Aw gosh, I cer-tainly didn't. I'm not that crazy, Mr. Smith. SMITH I thought not. That's fine. What happens to adults who lick their platters clean? HOWYA-DOO- They get gout, indigestion, stomach acidity, rheu-matism, double chins, heartburn and everything. Gee, their diet gets all shot to pieces, Mr. Smith, and they get fat and their clothes look awful on 'em. SMITH Right. So what Is the proper way for grownups to behave at meals? HOWYA-DOO- Aw, that's easy, Mr. Smith. They do just what I do, lay off any kind of food that tastes good! SMITH Anything that appeals to the taste, eh? HOWYA-DOO- Sure. If it's ap-petizing, it's no good. All nice grownups who want their children to be proud of them will just go for carrots, beets, spinach and things like that. SMITH If by chance you get something on your plate that tastes swell and that isn't fattening, is it okay to eat it all? HOWYA DOON Aw, no! A good little adult always carries a calory chart and makes himself pretty miserable figuring up the calories in everything he eats. I hope all you grownups do this. SMITH So do I, Howya. And now it's time to show the movies. We've got some wonderful ones that are right down the alley for grownups. They, are from the American Medical association and show what happens to adults who enjoy eating and lead happy lives. But first, did you brush your teeth this morning? HOWYA-DOO- Aw, sure, I took my uppers and lowers right out of the glass of water where I put 'em each night and gave 'em a good stiff brushing. SMITH And what else did you do that all good grownups should do? HOWYA-DOO- I put my hotwa-te- r bottle and my liver pads away neatly after I got up and I made sure all the bottles in the medicine cabinet were in order. SMITH That's fine. And now we're going to introduce our new character Dub-a-Da- HOWYA-DOO- Who's Dub-a-Da- SMITH He's the wonderful adult who never grunts, seems to enjoy life and ALWAYS BEHAVES SO HIS CHILDREN CAN BE PROUD OF HIM! , Cuff Stuff Louis Johnson is the new secre-tary of defense and those who are all for a strong America hope he will not be bothered by the current cry, "Louis, drop that gun."

I Senate Debate-Cur- b Row Renewed; Rent Curb Bill Favors Home Rule'; Pit Walkout Slims Coal Stockpile I,. ji ov, njlumm, they are those of (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinion. " "g'and not necessarUy o this newspaper.) Western Newspaper Union's news FILIBUSTER: Truce Called The long, weary talkathon In the U. S. senate was over but the battle over the proposed curb on senate debate was by no means at an end. A compromise had been effected with the aid of GOP support, but the administration was committed to oppose the peace formula which had been adopted. THE FILIBUSTER had con-tinued 15 days over a proposed change in senate rules. There was no doubt that southern senators, who led the talkathon, had emerged victorious. The talkfest was staged to delay President Tru-man's civil rights bill, and it had done just that. The provisions of the peace for-mula were: 1. Unlimited debate in the senate would be permitted only upon a motion to take up a rules change. Z. Debate on all other matters could be curbed by the "yes" vote of 64 of the chamber's 96 members. Majority leader Scott Lucas (D., 111.) attacked the compromise pro-posal as a "move to perpetuate the filibuster." "Of course I'll oppose it," he told newsmen. "It's an effort to take the senate back 40 years." MEANWHILE Truman Demo-crats were reported launching a new parliamentary move to clamp down on debate. The senate already had overturned a ruling by Barkley that discussion to take up the proposed rule change could be ended if s of those voting desired. The vote over-rulin- g Barkley was 46 to 41. Administration leaders hoped to find some way to another ruling and, if they could change as many as three votes, a Barkley ruling could be sustained. Mr. Truman had proved he could win the presidency without sup-port of the Soutfi, but it appeared it would be difficult to put through a, legislative program without sup-port of southern senators. JOHN L LEWIS: Herald of Spring To coal miners and coal-usin- g in-dustrialists of the nation the in-fallible sign of spring is neither the robin nor crocus it is John L. Lewis' annual eall for the miners to leave the pits. LEWIS CALLED, and the miners heard and obeyed. More than 400,-00- 0 miners began a two-wee- k lay-off, ordered, Lewis said, as a me-morial to miners killed and injured last year. Skeptics were caustic. They saw another, more understandable rea-son for the work stoppage. The na-tion's huge stockpile of coal, some 70 million tons, was looming too large in the Lewis eye. Unless this stockpile were materially decreased soon, the president of the United Mine Workers would be in a less tenable bargaining position later on. Another reason advanced for the layoff was miners' opposition to the appointment by President Truman of Dr. James Boyd as head of the U.S. bureau of mines. Advocates of this idea suggested Lewis' move was intended to intimidate a sen-ate committee considering Boyd's appointment. IF THAT WERE TRUE, the at-tempt was a dismal failure. On the second day of the walkout, the sen-ate committee approved Boyd's ap-pointment by a vote of 10 to 1 admittedly to show Lewis that its members would not be intimidated. But the U.S. couldn't shrug off the Lewis move. Already 11 rail-roads had ordered 57,425 workers furloughed. Coal is a vital freight item for these roads. The payroll loss to the railroaders alone would be at least five million dollars for the two weeks of idleness. THE MINERS themselves stood to lose at least 68 million dollars in wages. In two states steps were taken to file unemployment com-pensation claims to take up the slack. But there was a big ques-tion whether the states would ap-prove the claims, because so many states do not approve claims where loss of employment is caused by action of the claimant, himself such as might be ruled to be the case in the voluntary walkout of the miners. Meanwhile most miners' families prepared for a slim Easter. There would be little money to buy new bonnets or dresses. Bottoms Up! ' - f v wt i . ' 'K " - Attorney Carl J.

A veterinarian declared Stephens, after drinking the virus, might be a cholera carrier for at least 19 days. RENT CONTROL: Home Rule Favored The administration's legislative' program was bogging down at every turn in congress. Rent controls, vital to millions, of Americans, were being pro-longed, but not along lines desired by President Truman and his ad-visers. THE HOUSE had passed a rent control measure, but fixed exten-sion at 15 months, instead of the 24 the administration wanted, and provided for home-rul- e application, a factor opposed by the administra-tion. If the senate accepted this ver-sion of a rent control act, it would be well for all concerned in the nation to begin ascertaining views of their local rent control boards, for that's where authority to relax or continue rent controls would rest. The bill, passed by a vote of 261 to 153 is now in the hands of the senate for action and administra-tion forces are reported ready to renew their fight for more ade-quate rent curbs there. Action on a senate version of rent controls had been blocked by the filibuster. CONCERNING local-optio- n au-thority to do away with rent con-trols, Tighe Wood, federal rent administrator, expressed the opin-ion it might not work out too badly. He went as far as to say that "I would be willing to bet that 90 per cent of the 1,100 counties where we have rent control will not lift rent control under this amendment." Many Americans would wonder about that, and hope the housing chief was correct in his views. If he were wrong, and the senate en-acted the house bill as drawn, a grave housing emergency might be created overnight. Wood, however, saw two essen-tials lacking in the house bill. He termed these as criminal penalties for landlords overcharging on rent, and authority to recontrol apartments in residential hotels. STAFF OF LIFE: Cost Probe Due The housewife who had read that the price of wheat and flour had gone down, but who found bread prices remaining up, had company if she had begun to puzzle about the paradox. The senate of the United States was becoming interested, too, in this situation. And, a broad senate investigation into prices of bread along with other things was "ready to go," according to Sena-tor Maybank (D., S.C.). AS CHAIRMAN of the senate banking committee, he called on government agencies for latest data on prices especially the spread be-tween prices consumers pay and those farmers get for their prod-ucts. The chairman said the price In-vestigation wants to know: Why are bread prices at their level in view of the wheat and flour price drops? Why hasn't lard, soap and short-ening prices fallen off more? American housewives also would like to have answers to those ques-tions. Make Handy Bench 4 IN COLONIAL dav. , , pieces of furnitur. arose. If two, thrLXl sons, they maae it(rifc needed.

DIGGLES ON DUTY 11 Cotnc By MARY WH,TEF0RD lj Outside, the wind howled and flakes of ice made a cold noise beating the window pane. Slowly, he walked toward the telephone. After all, just as many people swore by Dr. Price as trusted Diggles. As he waited, listening to Dr. Price's telephone bell ringing, the shop door opened. Mr. Diggles put down the receiver and went to the front. Dr. Price was on the mat, stamping the snow from his feet. "Diggles, will you let me see the prescription Mrs. Tompkins just brought in?" "I was just trying to call you about it. Dr. Price. I felt there was some little inaccuracy." Dr. Price nodded. "Something told me. But I wasn't reaUy wor-ried. I knew you'd catch a mistake if there was one. It's a great com-fort to me to know that a substan-tial man like you is checking up on me, Diggles." "I have to do what I can. A man has to do his duty." He smiled and stood up, "That's right, doctor. I guess duty becomes a habit if you do it long enough." The wind screamed into the shop as Dr. Price opened the door and went out. It was a bleak, bitter day, but in Mr. Dig-gles' heart it was suddenly sum-mer. TViTR. DIGGLES kept his head down as though he were study-ing the prescription, scarcely hear-ing Mrs. Tompkinsr voice through the noise of blood thudding in his temples. When he tried to speak, his lips were dry and his tongue moved nervously over them. "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Tompkins, what was that you said?" "I said if you haven't a delivery boy I'll wait for the three o'clock bus, but I'm anxious to get back as soon as I can." He looked again at Dr. Price's cramped handwriting. "Oh, I'll de-liver it, Mrs. Tompkins. I'm sorry to learn Mr. Tompkins isn't well." "I told him it's just his bad dis-position coming out. I told Dr. Price I certainly I hated to drag him Minilte out in weather like 3- - Flctl" this just for a stomach ache. ! Doctor says he'll be all right in a day or two." Mr. Diggles took the handker-chief from the pocket of his grey alpaca coat and wiped his forehead. The moment he used to dream of years ago, was here at last. This would cost Dr. Price his practice. The pity was. Dr. Price would never know he could have saved himself, if he hadn't made it so clear that a man who mixed pre-scriptions wasn't supposed to know about diagnosis. Dr. Price would never know what he'd done to him-self when he told Mrs. White she might as well give the twins a chocolate soda as Diggles' Own Whooping Cough Mixture. Because of Dr. Price's 'new ways of doing things, no one bought Diggles' Ready Rheumatism Reliever now. Shots, it was. the doctor was giv-ing for everything. Not prescrip-tions. Manslaughter, they called it. Be wet his lips. Well, no one could expect Mr. Diggles to in-terfere with Dr. Price's pre-scriptions again. Not a second time. Though it was so many years ago, he could feel the flush of anger that flooded his face remembering the day he'd called Dr. Price up, and suggested that maybe the heart medicine he ordered for Mr. Ven-able- s was too strong. "1 know what I'm doing. Just mind your own business. Diggles, and I can mind mine." He looked again at the prescrip-tion. There was no mistaking the symbol and he'd fill it as it stood He reached for the bottle and re-moved the cork. Carefully, he meas-ured out the prescribed dose TR. DIGGLES straightened sud- - denly, staring at the partly filled mortar A feeling of nausea swept through him as he snatched it up and flung the contents into the sink. His hand, replacing the bot-tle on the shelf, trembled STAR DUST Ozzie end Harriet Switch to CBS By INEZ GERHARD AFTER PRACTICING fancy figures like mad at a local rink, Harriet Nelson talked the reluctant Ozzie into taking the family to Lake Arrowhead for winter sports, so that she could show off a bit. But they arrived to find the rink there covered with ten feet of snow. That suited Ozzie, who retired to their rooms and OZZIE AND HARRIET worked on the next "Ozzie and Harriet" script. If you're among their thousands of devoted listeners of course you know that they are working their own children into their program in place of the young actors who have portrayed them; also you know that they have just switched from NBC to CBS.

At the same time he denied the existence of any "biological super-weapon- The secretary's statement ended a secrecy curb. |
