Last week Mayor Luke A. Mercadante of Glen Cove, L.I., sent the State Department the answer: no. According to New York tax laws, there was no provision for any such exception. Breathing heavily, he also passed on some information of a semi-global nature: Malik, through an intermediary, had asked a local merchant to carpet the house with material which would wear at least three years...
...Given Glen (Houghton Mifflin; $3-75) is a massive and hard-to-swallow pill by that usually deft practitioner of slickmagazine fiction, Ben Ames Williams. For 629 pages, it rambles pointlessly on about Owen Glen's childhood in the 'gos, the daily minutiae of a mining town with its labor troubles and civic problems, endless excerpts from its banal little newspaper. Novelist Williams, who has done considerably better in his day (Come Spring) and has almost never descended to boredom, seems almost determined to write a boring story. His success is complete...
Idaho's Senator Taylor was up for renomination. The people of Idaho had heard his songs before. This time they were more interested in his political tune -and whether he had changed it since 1948. Glen wasn't explicit on that point. By running for Vice President under the dark pink banner of Henry Wallace's Progressive Party, he conceded that he had made a "poor political move"-but he was "not apologizing" for it, nor would he now criticize the U.S.S.R. because "I don't want to say anything that might stir up another...
...Mistake. It wasn't a very convincing performance, but Idaho Democrats didn't have much to choose from. Glen's principal rival was D. Worth Clark, whom Glen had unseated back in 1944. Clark, who plays no musical instrument whatever, had gone into law practice with Tommy ("The Cork") Corcoran in Washington, D.C. after his defeat. He scarcely bothered to campaign, and when he did, botched it. On the eve of the election, he began a 15-minute broadcast, but after five fuzzy minutes, it was cut off without explanation. Even so, last week Clark defeated Glen...
...good many Republicans had crossed over into Democratic ranks to vote against Taylor. Republicans who stayed where they belonged had a spectacular candidate of their own: a hefty, hearty rancher and onetime Hollywood lawyer named Herman Welker. Out to "relieve Idaho of the embarrassment of Glen H. Taylor," Welker aimed more oratory at him than at his opponents in his own Republican primary. Welker, a past master of the political cliche ("I wear no man's yoke"), denounced Fair Deal "socialistic schemes," even laid the Korean war on Harry Truman's doorstep...
