WASHINGTON to - The
wile of a man who aspires
to be President needs s ten-
nis player’s strong right arm
and frocks with free-wheeling

of Tennessee. Her husband is
campaigning for the Demo-
cratic nomination
Mrs. Kefauver told this one
on herself at the White
House reception for Congress
yesterday:
While stumping Florids with
her busbend she went into a
Miami shop.
"I wanted to get some cot-
too dresses with short sleeves-
especially dresses wild sleeves
that don’t bind,” she said
To demonstrate she flexed
her arm.
“Oh, ere you s tennis
player?” the salesgirl asked.
“I told her I wasn’t but
that I'm certainly using my
right arm a lot And if you
don't think I am, just feel
the muscle."
It felt solid, all right.
“That comes from hand-
shaking,” she said.

AF Shows to Go On,
Without Air Flights
WASHINGTON an — Come rain,
hall or strike in the oil industry,
shows at the nation's military air
bases next Saturday will go on-
but without plane nights
The Defense Department has
grounded aviation phases of the
annual Armed Forces Day eele-
brations, so there will be none at
the engine roar and blast, none of
the spectacular air dashes and fly-
pasts of previous years.
Secretary of Defense Levett last
week. in view of the current fuel
shortage, canceled all Hying ac-
tivities previously scheduled by
military planes in observance of
Armed Forces Day.
HOLLYWOOD (n—Movie maker
Mark Robson la heading for the
South Seas to film a real-life island
epic—or as real-life as the censors
will allow.
Director Robson is the kingpin
of Hollywood's first major invasion
of the South Seas in decades. His
Aspen Productions will film one of
the James Michener stories from
"Return to Paradise" on the Island
of Upolu in Western Samoa. A cast
and crew beaded by Gary Cooper
is being exported from here for
the project.
Robson scouted over a large por-
tion of Polynesia before finding the
locale he felt was suitable. One of
his main problems now will be to
keep his picture suitable for censor-
tal tastes.
DANCE TROUBLE
"We want to include the native
dances," the director remarked.
"But it may be difficult because
they are so sexy One of their main
dances is based on the mating in-
stinct in no uncertain terms.
“When I was at a party in the
Islands the others tried to urge
one of the men to dance. His wife
wouldn't let him, and later I found
out why. If he danced with another
woman, it would have been the
same as having an affair with
her."
The dress of the natives might
present problems, he added.
"For the past 100 years in Poly-
nesia." he said, “the church groups
have been trying to get the native
women to cloth themselves above
the waist. They have been largely
successful.
“But in many of the small vil-
lages. such as the one we are going
to use, the women still have little
concern for modesty. The usual
dress is the lava-lava. The men
wear it around their waist snd
often the women do, too. It is more
comfortable for them that way. It
is not uncommon to see women
bathing completely nude in the
ocean.”’
NEGOTIATIONS
Robson will be filming “Return
to Paradise" la the small village
of Lefaga. His negotiations for use
of the place were a large-scale
production.
"We bad ta sit down with all the
family heads of the village." he
recalled. "We drank the local drink
and there was much ceremony.
Only 5 or 10 per cent of them had
ever seen a movie, so we had to
start from scratch and explain just
what we were going to do. This
took about four or five hours. Fi-
nally the big chief got the idea.
The only thing he wanted to know
was : 'How many years will it take
you to make the movie?"
Actually, the filming will require
at least three months. Aspen Pro-
ductions has had to ship equipment
for an entire studio. A special gen-
erator, described as the biggest in
the film industry, was built and
sent to the island to provide power
for the lights.
I asked Robson why he couldn’t
shoot the picture at Catalina, as
most island films are.
"It would still look like Cata-
lina," he replied. "We wouldn't be
able to get the real natives nor the
real village. Besides, we have an
agreement with Michener, the au-
thor. to shoot it in the genuine
locale."
023,513 patients, or one every 18
seconds. The average daily census
was 1,293,653 patients in 1951, as
against 1,242,777 in 1950.
Births in hospitals soared to a
new peak, with a total of 2,999,371
for last year, or one live baby
every 10.7 seconds. The 2,815,80€
hospital births in 1950 averaged
one every 11.2 seconds. The high-
est previous total was 2,837,139 in
1947, or one every 11.1 seconds
The 6,637 registered hospitals to
1951 had a capacity of 1,529,988
beds, which compared with 1,
456.912 beds for 6,430 hospitals in
1950. Excluding the years 1943
1944, and IMS, when federal hos-
pital bed capacities were trebled
to handle war casualties, the bos
pital faculties of the nation last
year were at an all-time high.
Last year’s capacity was dis-
tributed as follows: approximately
42 per cent in general hospitals
48 per cent mental, 6 per cent tu-
berculosis and 5 per cent other.
Out of every 1,000 admissions
last year the assignments were to
the following hospital classifications
general, 936; psychiatric. 17; chU
dren's, 7; hospital departments of
institutions, 7; tuberculosis, 6; ma-
ternity, 6, isolation, 6; eye, ear
nose and throat, 6, industrial 3;
orthopedic, 2; convalescent, 2

trucks have the lowest list prices.
2) Upkeep and operating costs must be

“wages” on fuel and maintenance.
3) How well the truck does the job i

matched to the job.
4) The truck must be rugged, long lasting.
Chevrolet trucks traditionally bring more at
