...where he polled 264,000 against 512,000 for Governor John Reynolds, another Johnson-minded favorite son. One reason is that anti-civil rights feeling runs high in some industrial areas of Indiana.

Harness for Three. Symbolism soon begins to snowball: the mime helps a weary roustabout water his elephants, sits in for a Negro in an "African Dip" show while a wicked white man throws baseballs at him, rescues a pretty girl from an evil magician. He and his followers (the elephant man, the Negro, the girl) break up the act of Magnus and his Living Marionettes by entering the tent to brush the shoes of all the children in the audience.

...frontality of Thiebaud's figures (see opposite page) outdoes that of the Sphinx.

Died. Louis ("Louie the Dip") Finkelstein, 73, king of the nation's pickpockets, a dapper, Russian-born master of petty larceny who gleefully boasted of paying $8,000 a year in fines, court costs and lawyers' fees, was arrested a record 121 times in Cleveland alone, once being nabbed with his fingers in the pockets of a police chief, another time with the wallet of a reporter covering his trial, but alas, spent his last years in retirement and on relief after arthritis robbed him of his touch; of a heart attack; in Cleveland...
