HOLLYWOOD tl'.H>— After 2'a
years of a family feud, the An-
drews sisters are a team again- I
all because of unhappy fans who j
sat d. wn and wrote letters.
The famed singing trio Max-
ene, I'atty and Laverene, culled it ,
"lints in 19.V1 over a squabble about
who got how much money and oth-
er difficulties. Patty pulled out
with the claim her older sisteMs
treated her "like a baby."
But recently the girls got togeth-
er to talk over a movie that will
be made at MOM an the story of
their life, with other actresses
portraying them. After reminis-
cing with the script writer about
their past glories, the girls talked
themselves into going back into
harness.
"It just wasn't wanting to sing
together again, but the public nev-
er wanted ug to break up," La-
vcrne explained as the beaming
singers celebrated their reunion at
a party — completet with a cake
sporting a buried hatchet.
"We have been getting as many
as 2.0O0 letters a week fr im people
asking Us to get back together
ever since we appeared on an an
niversary program for 'a shower
of stars' on television a couple of
months ago."
The girls admit they also dis
c.ivered, like Martin and Lewis,
that a team is successful because
it's a team. I'atty was a good
single in night clubs but her act
didn't have the impact of the
team. For months Maxene and La-
verne conducted a talent search to
replace Hatty in their routine—
but gave up becuase "we just,
couldn't f)Mt~anybody." The two
sisters toured Australia and rea-
lized, as Maxene says, that "the
crowds were disappointed. They
wanted t. see three of us."
"I missed Patty," she added
with a smile at her sister, "al
though I never wanted to admit
it."
"We sort of can't get each other
out of each other's hair," grinned
I'atty. "Everything's been straigh-
tened out and everything's water
under the bridge. I'll still do rec-
ords of my own, and I have signed
for f >ur TV shows on CBS this
year. Otherwise, we'll be together."
The three sisters who did an $8
million business with HH() songs will
open for business again at the Fla-
mngo hotel in I.a.s Vegas June 28.
Patty's husband, composer Walter
Wechsler, will not accompany the
group—apparently silving one of
their difficulties.
"We never realized what an im-
part our break up had on the
people," Maxene said as the sis-
ters helped themselves to the
"peace" cake. "They felt without
the three of us together it never
would be the same." ""
OPERATION AIRED
WEST NEWBURY, Mass. <|T.P>—
Alcide Bergeron, 40, gave his
friends a "stitch-by-stitch" ac-
count of his operation. Bergeron,
who underwent surgery for an ab-
dominal ailment, is a "ham" short
wave radio operator. He rigged a
portable set at his bedside and
flashed out daily and hourly re-
ports of his recuperation.

Favoritism Is '
Charged in 11. S.
Big Contracts
WASHINGTON (U.D— Chair-
man Jack Brooks D-Tex. «>t a
House investigating subcommittee
charged the Justice Department
Tuesday with covering up evidence
of "favoritism and possible fraud"
in the handling of a $4;< million
government contract.
Bnuks formally demanded that
Attorney General Herbert Brown
ell Jr. turn over to his subcom-
mittee microfilm copies of records
on what he called "highly ques-
tionable" actions by the General
Services Administration in the con
struction >f a government—owned
nickel plant in Cuba.
Files Vanished
The original records taken froi.«i
the files of Randall Cremer, proj
ect manager for the controversial
Nicaro nickel plant project, disap
peared after the microfilms were
made. Brooks said the subcom-
mittee had testimony that the
missing documents bore on "pos-
sible criminal allegations."
The subcommittee has been
seeking the microfilm copies both
from the GSA and DOJ. Both agen-
cies have declined to supply them,
was upheld the refusal on the
grounds the matter still was under
investigation.
letter Made Public
"It seems to me this cover-up
by the Justice Department, sine
Oct. 4, 1955, is detrimental to the
public interest and the prompt re
lease of this information might
well hr-t of valuable assistance to
the subcommittee inexposing fur-
ther f a v o i i t i s in and possible
fraud," ISr.Hiks said in a state-
ment.
At the same time he made pub-
lie a letter to Brownell recalling
previous requests for the micro-
film files and requesting formally
"once again" that the films or
copies he supplied. He asked for
immediate action on the request.
"During public hearings by the
subcommittee on highly question
able parts jf the GSA manage-
ment of the Nicaro nickel plant
e\pansion. sworn testimony by
both the (iSA security officer and
the project manager revealed that
microfilms pertinent to our inves-
tigation had been made by GSA
of private f"les in New York City,"
Bro iks said in his statement.
"These microfilms were made
at the request of Congress."
Stanley Steamer
Hits Road Again
SAV LKANDRO, Calif. <n:>—
Robert Brown, a welder, and Dew-
ey Heche, a friend, recently put to-
lher from cast off parts an hon-
est - to g lodness Stanley Steamer
that turns its speedometer at 25
miles per hour.
The two hobbyists began their
labor of love by collecting mate-
rials for miles around. A few boiler
pa its and some old motorcycle
wheels provided the nucleus, and
these were applied t i an 18!IX vin-
tage Stanley Steamer engine
bouj'lit by Brown many years ago.

One expert said that emotional
upsets may cause as many high-
way accidents as careless driving
or faulty barkes.
Lenoard M. van Noppen, who
supcrcises a car fleet that travels
IHVMMMMM) miles yearly for the Uni-
versal C. I. T. Corp., said that stud-
ies show that thousands of motor-
ists involved in accidents are phy-
sically fit and expert at the wheel.
They cracked up because their
emotions overthrew their usual
alertness and judgement.
"When you know your emotions
are at a depii-ssed point, be extra
careful," he said. "Better still, stay
out of your car altogether. A mo-
torist's biggest enemies are his
own feelings."
He urged couples to avoid do-
mestic arguments especially in the
morning, when one or both may
drive to work.

Is This God's Country?
The Communists say it isn't.
The atheists say it isn't.
wyj But George Washington said it was... and
he looked to God for guidance before
and after Valley Forge.
Abraham Lincoln said it was... and he sought Divine
aid to preserve our nation.
Our nation's founders had faith in God's wisdom...
and with His help created a government unique
in history... a government based on the idea that
man's rights are God-given ... that government's
powers are derived only from the people.
Since Plymouth Rock, God has shaped the destiny
of our nation by His presence in the councils of our
leaders ... and in the quiet corners of our lives.
He has guided us through every crisis...
always leading America forward.
Today, as in generations past, our people have
Faith in Themselves... knowing God gave them
strength to meet any challenge.
They still have Faith in Freedom ... for they know N
God fashioned Freedom to give them dignity... to let
them enjoy the fruits of their labors.
Past and present... we are surrounded by proof that
God shed His Grace on America.
Let us pause a moment each day to give thanks.. •
and to renew our Faith in America and the
things it stands for.
Let's keep it God's Countrv!
