...Harvard Young Democratic Club and the Harvard Young Republican Club will sponsor a debate on "Who Should Control the 86th Congress" tonight at 8 p.m. in the Lamont Forum Room...
Comedian Berle, for his return (NBC), renounced his former control over lighting, staging, dance arrangements and sets. During rehearsals, Miltie restricted himself to learning his routines and yelling at the piano player.
