...long as you're covered up you'll be in style!" Thus, with the earthy touch that is his trademark, Harry Truman set a folksy sartorial tone for the marriage of his daughter Margaret to the New York Times's suave Foreign Deskman E. (for Elbert) Clifton Daniel Jr., 43, a silvery-topped North Carolinian who picked up a faint British accent during six years in the Times's London bureau, developed an ulcer during a shorter (1954-55) stint in Moscow. Father-in-law-to-be Truman was "awful glad" that Cliff Daniel...
...Clifton Webb sheds every trace of his Mr. Belvedere mannerisms to give a terse performance as Montagu, the intelligence officer who has more trouble selling his own high command than he does in hoodwinking the Germans. His toughest job is finding a proper body: that of a man of military age who has just died of pneumonia-so there will be enough fluid in the lungs to fool a Spanish prosector into believing the man has drowned. So long as the film remains a documentary, its detail is fascinating, whether it is the slow building of a personality and past...
After a weekend spent with his folks in Zebulon, N.C.. Margaret Truman, 32, returned to Manhattan with 43-year-old E. Clifton Daniel Jr., to be met by newsmen insistent for word of romance from them.

Princeton's captain, Jay Evans, holds the visitors' strength in the 50 and 100 with times this season of 23.6 and 53 seconds flat. Dyer, Gus Johnson, Rog Clifton, and Jon Lind will have to be at top speed to beat him; in fact, Evans may show enough to drive Dyer to lowering the Crimson records the junior already holds in these events...
